The Power Of Chemistry.

Chemistry-whatever Mr.. Lowe may
have to say in praise OF civil engineering
lis the science of the world and OF the
future. The bridge which takes the
engineer year upon year to construct, the
chemist can in 80 many sixteenths OF a
second reduce to atoms.
Chemistry has given us the balloon; 1t
has put in our hand gunpowder, nitro.
slycerine, dynamite and, above all, full.
inmate OF gold, an explosive 80 terrible
that il an ounce be left in a stoppered
bottle its grains falling among themsel yes
by their own weight will create con.
vulsion sufficient 10 lay all London in
ruins. II has given us poisons so subtle
that were we to employ such means OF
warfare, We would sail in balloon over
the camp OF the enemy and drop upon
1t shell, the bursting OF which would
kill every human being within mile OF
its range.
Then, too, chemistry has given us dis,
iniectants. To the chemist we owe
carbolic acid, chloride of lime and pei
manganate of potash. Chemists have
taught us to di-iniect our sewers and
drains, tn ventilste our houses, 10 burn
gas, instead OF oil, and to light our streets
with what is more powerful than gas
itseli-the electric light. 1t is to chem
lstry, indeed, that We owe almost all the
comforts OF every day life.
But, on the other hand the possibili-
ties OF chemistry are almost 100 terrible
to be contemplated. As the science at
present stands, any student can, if he
have access to a well stored laboratory
carry away in a pill-box sufficient to lsy
London in ruins, or to poison the whole
community of its inhabitants. The
chemist can, as every school boy knows
convert water into ice in the center of a
red-hot crucible. He can construct a
shsll the size of cricket-ball which will
explode the moment it touches the
water and overwhelm a hostile feet in
flames. Indeed the chemist reduces the
world to its original primal elements.
For him, even more than for the
engineer, nothing is impossible. And
yet his power, vast as it is, is limited.
He can more easily destroy than coz
struct. He can take lite, but he cannot
give it. He can level the city with the
plain, but he cannot build 1t up again.
He can create Trussic acid, but he is
ignorant OF its antidote. He is ike the
fisherman who rashly opened the vessel
sealed win the ring OF Suliemsn Ben
Daoud. The forces at his control are
b-yond his command; the powers he can
evoke he cannot lay. 1t is the old story

The True Way 10 Inyixorn,e.

The true way to invigorate feeble system
is to infuse activity into the operations OF
the stomach, that wondrous alembic in which
the food is transmitted into the constituents
OF blood, the chief element of our vitality
Hostetter's Stomach B!tters, because it ac
complishes this end, is greatly to be pre-
ferred to many so called tonics, useful indeed
as appetizers, but imperative as aids to di,
gestion and assimilation. This sterling cor
dial, while 1t invlgorates the stomach, heath
lully stimulates the liver, bowels and kid
neys, ensurins the escape through the regu
lar channels of effete and useless matte
thrown off by the system, which is thus puri
fed as well as invigorated by it. Its toni,
influence is soon made manifest by an in
crease of vital energy and more active an,
regular discharge OF every ply sical functiou q
| aud it has the further effect OF rendering tn
| system unassailable by malarial epidemics

W. lrus Hunting.
San francisco Bulletin

In connection with whaling in Arctic
waters, wslrus-hunting is carried op by
many whaling captains, at a compare
lively small profit. But the difficulties
of capture are so many, the destruction
OF animal life so shockingly great, and
the injustice to the natives OF the coast
'requented by wslrus so patent, that
whaling shippers refuse to kill the walrus,
refrsining rom motives of humanity,
and their acton is generally indorsed by
their eastern principals. But most own.
ers and shippers are less tender>hearted,
and the destruction Of walrus in past
years has been enormous and proportion.

600 walrus were taken by the West
Arctic fleet, and in 1875 the Illinois osp-
tured l2 900. 1t has been estimated tha,
to secure this number at least three
times rs many were destroyed. Some
captains estimate only one capture in
every four dead shots, as the animal

walrus are now 20 scarce that natives
are frequently met in their frail canoes
two hundred miles from shore in search
OF their only food. The natives kill
these animals with hsrpoons made of
bone or fnt, fastened to long lines OF
dried walius skin. Our sailors kill them
with guns charged with a small explo.

only twenty-five gallons of oil and five
pounds OF ivory. The oil is an excellent
lubricant, and the ivory is used in the
manufacture of cutlery. The ruling
rate Tor wslrus ivory in this market is
thirty-hve cents per pound. The feet
OF 1878 secured about $500 walrus, and
doubtless de troyed three or four times
as many. 1t Is but just to masters
generally to say that they engage in this
work with extreme reluctance, and, as
the profits are so small, il is believed
that general agreement among whaling
owners may be negotiated, by the terms
OF which the walrus catch may be re-
stricted-at least for term OF years.
