rabe day, and Dr.. Tenny wrote an ac-
count Of what be learned while on a jour
ney from the East to Pennsylvania. He
says the deepest darkness was in Essex
County, Mass, the lower part of New
Hampshire and the eastern portion of
Maine (where my great-grandmother
lved). In Rhode Island and Connect.
cut it was not SO great in New Jersey
peculiar clouds were observed, but the
darkness was not uncommon, and in the
lower parts Of Pennsylvania nothing un-
usual was observed.
II extended as far north as the Ameri-
can settlements and westward to Albany,
but its exact limits could not be ascer-
tanned.
Ia Boston the darkness continued four
teen or fifteen hours, varying in duration
at other places.
As it was impossible to attribute the
darkness to an eclipse, the wise people
formed many theories respecting it be-
ing convinced that it was due to immense
fires in the woods, winds blowing in op-
posite directions and to the condition of
the vapors but Herschel says 1.-The
dark day in Northern America was one

SCIENTIFIC RELIANCE ON SoAP.-Dr.
Richardson lectured recently in Philadel-
phia on the germ theory of disease. He
acknowledged his obligation to Tyndall
for his microscopic investigation on air,
dust, spores and other comforting and
salutary topics. 1t is worth while for
common people to learn that 1000 typh :
US germs viii thrive in the circumference
of pin head or visible globule. 1t is
worth while for them to note that these
germs may be dessicated and be borne,
like thistle seeds, everywhere, and, like
demoniacal possessions, jump noiselessly
down any throat. But there are certain
things spores cannot stand. according to
the latest ascertained results Of science.
A water temperature of 1902 boils them
to death and soap chemically posons
them. Here san nitary and microscopic
science comes together Spores thrive in
low ground and under low condition of
life. For redemption, fly to hot water
and soap, ye who live IN danger Of ma
larial poisoning. Hot water is sanitary.
Soap is more sanitary. Fight typhus,
smallpox, yellow fever with 50 .p. Soap

ORNAMENTAL Work on ENGINES. -
The movement to replace the brass or
namentai work on engines with plain
black finish has progressed very rapidly
within a few years, eflecting saving
which in the aggregate must be very
considerable. 1t is true that an engine
presenting to view an urelieved black
from pilot to tender does not have that
spendor Of appearance given by highly
coored brass and brilliant gliding and
stripping, but il seems to draw jast as
well, and the road does not show any

the foreman, "from America, a lad from
