" BLOOD RAIN

Last May the phenomenon called
/" blood rain " occurred in the Jebel
Sekra, a summit of the Rist, at the
western extremity of the Atlas ridge in
Morocco. Prof. Brun, of Geneva, has
given an account of his observations
of the wonder producing circumstance.
The "rain :" appeared on the rocks
in the form of bright red spots.
It consisted of a mixture of siliceous
sand and very fine lime, with abundance
of unicellular algS OF the species Proto-
coccus fuviaIis, and containing large
proportion of peroxide of iron.

Perfect Mechanism.
New York lin,es


The conditions Of what may be called
perfect mechanical work have been realized
iu the mammoth testing machine erected
at the Watertown Arsenal. Among the
astounding experiments reported of this
machine is one whore forged link of hard
wrought iron five inches In diameter was
slowly strained and broken at . tension of
722,S0O pounds, while to show that the
weighing parts of the machine were not
disturbed by the recoil, q horse hair was
tested Immediately afterward It stretch
cd 80 per eert and broke at one pound.
Such q machine is an engine of power and
precision IN which lies the possibilities of q
revolution IN the manufacture of iron and
steel and bronze, and IN the proportioning
and adoption of structures. Perhaps the
only equal to this wonderful invention is
Sir Joseph Mhitworth's millionth meas
uring machine. Now, il is absolutely inn
possible for the naked eye to judge the
millionth part of an inch, and such minute
divisions are wholly beyond the resolving
power of the most modern of microscopic
appliances. Nor can the mind grasp a
quantity so minute. The thickness of q
sheet of ordinary French writing paper is
equal to 4, 900 of these particles of meas
urement, or the two hundred and fiftieth of
an inch. But what the eye cannot sec the
nerves can feel, and that quite readily.
One can take q cylinder and pass it through
q space left vacant in one Of these Whit
worth machines. Il passes readily, but re-
duces the aperture by the millionth Of an
inch. II the space be reduced another
millionth, the cylinder sticks fast, thus
proving perfect accuracy Of workmanship.

Gihbon On Guns.
From the Chicago Times.

FEOm tue IulCa2O Times.
Gen. Gibbon has had ab ,ut a much ex-
perience in Indian fighting as any officer in
the army, and his advice as to the arms
that should be used to fight Indians With
ought to bs needed. He says in the April
number Of the new quarterly, the United
Ssrvice, th Vt the small a ms at pre- ssnt in
use are defective in Indian fighting be-
cause they are not accurately sighted nor
suitably triggered. The first thing to be
done is to ease the trigger. "No man."
he says, can sbo ot &C Gu, a.ely rifle which
requires seven-pound weight to be
brought to bear upon the trigger" and yet
that is the me- asure of the force required TO
fire off an army rife. The Indians and
frontiersmen, and all the sharp-shooters, at
Creedmoor and elsewhere, have hair trig-
gers in theiI guns. They also have their
front-sight filed down and their hind-sight
replaced by what we knew as the "bnck-
horn" sight. This enables them to draw
. Slime sight, and, with a hair-trigger,
they can, after little practice ssnd ball
home nearly every time. What these class
es have found by experience to bs useful
ought to be provided for the
soldiers at once. Many valuable lives might
be saved th h,reby. It does appear, howey-
or, that the soldiers got t" fine" enough
sights on the last lot of miserable Cheyennes
that they happened to corral.

THE TASK.

Iifes school has many tasks we all must learn,
Lessons of faith and patience; hope and love;
knowledge Of bitter taste, and wisdom stern
OF fires, the temper of our steel to prove;
Much of forbearance gathering years must teach,
And charity, with her angelic face,
Gentling the judgment, softening the speech,
Gives time its surest aid and grief Its grace.
Hardest OF all the masters we must hear,
Experience with cold eyes and measured voice,
Bids us, who hold young lives supremely dear,
Beware, ere moulding them to suit our choice;
Warning: Thy sky smiles blue, smooth shows tn
path,
Promise no sunshine, guide no wavering foot;
The lovelsst valley hides the seeds of death,
The poison turks deep in the fairest fruit"
Leave the young hearts to nature and to God.
Leave the young tendrils where they will to twine
Where violetk blossom, and white snowdrops nod,
Fall April dews, where Aprirs snnights shine;
Gather the ripened corn, if yet come ears
Are left for faltering hand and patient cTe;
But for the darlings of decaying years,
Leave them alone in all save love and prayer.
All the Year Round.

HOW IT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE
GREAT SCANDAL IN WHICH HE FIG
| URED.
New York Latter to Ciocinpati Com nercial.
What has been the effect of the great
scandal upon Henry Ward Beecher's life
and work? There Is no difference to be
detected in and around Plymouth Church,
save that he exhibits less of tbas exuber-
ance of spirit which welIed out OF every
line of his count ,pauce and word of his
mouth, and 'ich was ri sponded to and
assisted by his arms, his body and his legs
His congregations are greater than ever.
His flock is :emingly devoted to him and
fasciDated by bis words. His paws sold
lately for about the same ss the avela q of
fifteen years back, save, of course, he one
year when 800, 600 was raised by him.
His mis- ion schools are prespering aud his
Sunday school is o7erfowing. The people
of Broe klyn talk no more sb,n, the scan
dal. Tilton has gone to New York Monl-
ton has taken up his abode In another city.
Mrs. Tilton is in seclusion at williamsburg.
Beecher keeps on with his church work the
same as ever.
But ont ide of Plymout.. Church and
Brooklyn? All! there the effect of the
scandal crops out. Mr. Beecher is no long
er the public man that he was. Time was
when he made the chief speech at the an
nual New England dinnsr-and what
speech it va:! bubbling with wit, spark
ling with humor, noble for it's eloquence,
admired for Its sentime MA perfect
speech. Since tho scandal broke out Mr..
BeeeAer has not been invited to the New
England dinner. He speaks no more at
banquet boards, at college commencements,
at church dedications and statesmen's fu-
nerals. He does not seek these things, his
friends say, They are not offered to him,
reply his enemies. No longer does he dis
cuss from Plymouth pulpit the vital
political questions of the day. Some re-
marks on the Chinese problem uttered in
lecture have been quoted recently. But it
is now more than year since any word of
his has attracted public attention, and
then he was misrepoi.ec in an Incidental
reference to the labor question /; it was the
first time for more than year before that |
time. It looks to those who disinterestedly |
watch him as though Mr.. Beecher is en-
deavoring to attract as little public atten-
tlon as possible, and that be Is endeavoring |
to give to Plymouth church the very best /
work of which he is capable, and it Is quite |
likely that the public and Plymouth /
Church are satisfsd that he should do so.

THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THEY
MAY BE SENT UNDER THE NEW CLAs-
sIFICATION LAW.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The following
is the construction of the Postoffice Depart
ment of the section of the new classification
law which permits sample copies of publ
cations of the second class to be transmitted
in the mails at pound rates
Sample copies of publications of the Sec
ond class which after May first will be en-.
titled to TIA ,smlssion through the mails at
two cents pound, are defined to be copies
sent to persons not subscribers for the pur-
pose of inducing them either to subscribe
for or advertise in tbe publication, or to
agents or to persons desiring to become
agents, or who the publisher may wish to
induce to act as agents, to be used by them
in procuring subscriptions or advertise
ments. Any number of copies ofany num-
ber Of different editions of second class
publication may be sent at any one time as
sample copies. The primary design of a
publisher in sending out sample copies is to
increase the subscription list and adverti-
sing patronage Of bis publication, and the
and the law permits him to send such cop
les at tho most favored rats, in the expec-
tation that the correspondence resulting
therefrom and the Increased circulation Of
the publication to regular subs cribers will
augment the postal revenues.
Publishers will not be permitted to use
the exceptional advantages given to them
by the law so as to defraud the Postal De-
partment by mailing of sample copies extra
numbers of their publications ordered
by advertisers or by campaign committees
OR by other persons to be sent to speci-
fed addresses and apparently intended from
the nature of the contents or of marked
portions thereof, to serve the business, po-
htical or personal interests of the person or
persons ordering the same. Such copies
are third-class matter and must be prepaid
by stamps at the rate Of one cent for each
two ounces or fractional part thereof.
When the Postmaster at the Office of
mailing shall have reason to believe that any
publisher or news agent ha; violated the
provisions of this section by depositing such
third-class matter in any post Office or pos
tai car for transmission through the mails
as matter Of the second class, he may at his
discretion retain the suspected matter, no.
fuSr ho lsnt,o n OF
of his action, and report the facts to the
Postmaster General. If such thirl-class
matter shall by in advertence reach it's des-
tination, the Postmaster at the Office of
destination must collect the postage due
thereon as prescribed by law.
