The true northerner., 1879-06-13

PROF. COIN, of Breslau, has been
lately making experiments with the
electric light on the eyes of number
of persons for the purpose of testing its
influence on visual perception and the
sensation of color. He has found that
letters, spots and colors are perceived at
much greater distance through the
medium of electric light than by day or
gas light. The sensation of yellow was
increased sixty-fold compared to day
light, of red six-fold, and of green and
blue about two-fold. Eyes that could
only with difficulty perceive and distin-
guish colors by daylight or gaslight were
much aided by the electric light, and
the visual perception was much strength
ened. Prof. Cohn concludes from this
fact that the electric light would be very
useful in places where it is desirable
that signals should be seen at great
distance.

A RECENT number of the Art Jour
nal has an account Of the remarkable
frescoes now being made in the rotunda
of the Capitol at Washington, which
are the wonder and admiration of all
beholders. The work is being done by
an old Italian painter, whose name is
Brumidi, and the frescoes initiate bas-
relief and are finished between the
main cornices and the drum of the ro-
tunda. The figures are 100 feet from
the floor, and will be nine feet high.
The designs are to commemorate the
discoveries and notable scenes during
the Revolution and the Mexican war.
Out of fifteen designed, only four are
finished, and the great age of Brumidi
IA years-makes his friends nervous
lest he should not live to finish the
whole series.

Learning Dutch.

The new Queen of Holland is said to
have had good deal OF trouble in learn
ing the language of her adopted country.
Before her marriage learned university
don was dispatched to teach her Dutch,
and made up his mind that he ought to
import the refined language of his
native literature rather then the ordi-
nary colloquial Dutch. So he proceed
ed to teach his pupil the more orthodox
but practically obsolete language, and
the young lady made such excellent
progress that before the day of the we'd
ding she was quite proficient in what
she supposed to be the language of her
new subjects. What must have been
her surprise to find that all her best
efforts to converse with burgomasters
and humber folk who came out to do her
honor were as complete failures as if
they had been addressed to the hearers
in high German? The unfortunate
lady has had to devote her honeymoon
to acquiring second Dutch language,
of which she never suspected the ex-
istence

THERE is a curious district in Arizona

THERE is a curious district in Arizona
called the Thousand Wells. 1t is on the
western slope of Echo cliff, remarkable
for the reverberation of sound. The
country rock is impervious sandstone,
extensively striated with deep grooves,
made by winter rains. Where the sand
rock is friable large basins have been
worn. These are so many reservoirs
which are filled in the rain time, and
which supply the country, with it's cat
tie and people, through the long dry
season of that climate. The great high
way of travel passes through the midst
of the Thousand Wells. There are no
other water sources, and without these
naturals no life could exist On the
eastern slope of the range the country
presents striking contrast. Innumer-
able springs flow perennial Verdure
is rich, trees evergreen, fields cultivated
and wigwams alive with people.

Don't Talk Too Much.

Some of the young folks of to-day
remind us of talking machines, wound
up, and apparently never likely to run
down. Now, 1 don't mean to condemn
talking entirely. In fact, rather like
to encourage it, where it is done within
the bounds of reason and propriety.
But some boys and girls talk all the
time, everywhere, and about everything.
They won't even allow another to get a
word in edgeways.
There is time to talk, and time to
keep still. Once in a while. at any
rate, chance should be afforded your
friends to put in word or two. When
older people are speaking, it would
look well for youngsters to keep their
mouths shut. When some one is read
ing, 1T is i'll manners to interrupt, to
call attention to trivial matters, of no
sense or interest. When another is
speaking, wait until he or she gets
through before you say your say, and
do not take the word out of any ones
mouth. 1t didn't use to be so in olden
times, if our grandparents tell the
truth, and don't see any good reason
why it should be so now. When two
persons are talking at once to another.
1T confuses the listener, and one should
not be surprised if he misunderstands
and gets things mixed. 1t is difficult
matter for person to fix his attention.
perfectly, on any two things, at once,
and get sense of it. There is bound to
be confusion.

WILLARD BROWN was deeply in love
with Louisa Rarrott, a servant girl in
his fathers family at Martinsville, Ind.
She asked him to make for her a mold
of silver dollar, as she intended to go
into business as counterfeiter, and he
consented; but her clumsy effort to
produce bogus coin that would pass
proved failure. Her next plan for ac-
quiring wealth was to murder and rob
old Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, and she coolly
requested Willard to aid her. Although
her influence over him was very great,
he declined to help her kill his parents,
yet he promised never to divulge her
proposal. One night he suspected that
she was about to carry out her project,
and watched her. He saw her chloro-
form the old folks and let in Joe
Greer, desperate, who killed Brown
with an iron bar and badly injured Mrs.
Brown. The crime was attributed to
tramps, until Willard, jealous of Joe
Greer's intimacy with Louisa, spoke

KENTUCKY whisky, according to the
Louisville Courier-JouT1lal, owes its
excellence to the superiority OF the
grain, the quality of the limestone wa
ter, and the slow process of distillation.
Bourbon generally contains 70 per cent.
corn, Is rye and 10 malt, while rye
whisky is made of rye and malt. The
Ingredients are stirred into mash in a
huge tub and then put into fermenting
vessels. Yeast is used to hasten fer
mentation, except for sour-mash whis-
ky. The process is not much unlike
beer-making. The liquid is next dis
titled twice, and becomes whisky in
about week from the start.

. PROF. w. X. BROOKS, of the Johns
Hopkins University, has written re-
markable article for the Popular Sci
e1ace Monthly on The Condition of
Woman from a Geological Point of
View" He argues that it is the Office
of the female in all organized life to
reproduce and perpetuate hereditary
traits, and of the male to produce varia-
tions. eff this is so," he adds, "and if
the female organism is the conservative
organism, TO which has been intrusted
the keeping of all that has been gained
during the past history of the race, it
must follow that the female mind is a
storehouse filled with the instincts,
habits, intuitions, and laws of conduct
which have been gained by past expert
ence. The male organism, on the con-
trary, being The variable organism, the
originating element in the process of
evolution, the male mind must have the
power of extending experience over
new fields, and, by comparison and
generalization, of discovering new laws
of nature, which are in their turn to be-
come rules of action, and to be added
on to the series of past experiences"
Hence we should expect men to excel in
judgment, women in common sense
men in invention, discovery, or the
meeting of emergencies; women in the
conduct of ordinary life.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The yield of petroleum in the United
States last year was 6l9,007 ,004 gallons.
The quantity exported was valued at
SAG, ,574,974.
DURING the fiscal year 1878, the
United States exported to foreign coun-
tries, 21,S37, III pounds of butter, and
245, ,620,853 pounds of cheese. Of this,
England took 9,251,9 800 pounds of
butter, and 107.2O0,520 pounds of
cheese.
ACCORDING to statistics just published,
there were Is, ,73S young men studying at
the twenty German universities during
the winter semester just passed. OF
these, 2,438 were studying theology,
5,106 law, and 1857 medicine, 1867
being inscribed in the philosophical
faculty. Their ages ranged for the
most part from 10 to 22 years.
SOME interesting statistics about
drunkenness in Great Britain have been
collected, which indicate that the vice
is still growing. The amount spent on
intoxicating liquors increased from
fS4, ,222,171 in 1860 to sf147 .28S,759 in
1876, which is far in excess of the
growth of population. One of the most
startling things developed is the growth
of drunkenness among women in large
cities, 1000 of the sex being arrested
for this offense in London during 1875,
while in Edinburg, the number of
drunken women increased 43 per cent.
during period in which the population
grew only 6 per cent.
DURING the past year 1858 persons
were killed in the Northwest
Provinces of India and Dude by
wild beasts and snakes, and of these
3.S71 owed their death to snake bites.
No less than 10,513 head of cattle were
also destroyed, mostly by leopards, in
the vast grazing plains of the Terai.
Rewards TO the extent of 10000 rupees
were paid by Government for the
destruction of 3,91C wild animals. The
reward which used to be paid by
Government for the destruction of
snakes has been discontinued for some
years now, but the mortality from this
source is so alarming that the Govern
ment of the Northwest Provinces has
addressed all district officers, urging
upon them the necessity of inducing the
landowners to act for themselves in the
matter of protection against this danger,
the remedy for which is in their own
hands.

Kitty's Slice of Cheese.

Kitty liked cheese. There was al
ways some in the house, for grandps
was very fond of it, and mamma kept il
for him.
One day Kitty wanted some, and
thought she would get it herself. She
knew where it was, and could reach it.
If she had waited till tea-time, her
mother would, no doubt, have given it
to her; but she was not at home, and
Kitty was impatient.
She went into the china-closet, took
knife from the tray, and began to cut
wide, thin slice, such as she dearly
liked. But the knife was sharp; Sarah
was very particular about the knives,
and always kept them sharp and shin
ing; it slipped, and went right into the
little thumb.
1t was well for Kitty that, instead of
going straight down toward the bone, it
took slanting direction, making what
she called "a trap-door."
1t was something of cut, however,
and bled freely. Kitty was brave
child and not easily frightened. She
made no sound, but dropped the knife,
put her other hand under the cut one,
and ran into the bathroom.
She held the poor little thumb under
the cold.water faucet till it stopped
bleeding, and went quietly back to her
play-room. She knew where the soft
rags and such things were kept, and she
tried to keep her thumb out of sight,
and said not word of her mishap to
any one.
In fact, she thought she had been
rather foolish, and felt ashamed of her
self, so she would rather do without
pity and comforting than tell even her
mother.
There was no tell-tale spot on the
shelves or floor, and it so happened
that no one noticed the cut.
Not till years afterward, when Kitty
was grown young lady, did she men
tion it. Then she told her mother, and
showed her the scar; for there it stayed.
a little white line.
She has since shown it to her chill
dren, and told them the story.

curly-headed Sam missed his dog.
