SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

A committee of the British Medical
Association has been investigating the
effects produced by ether, ethidine and
chloroform rs anTsthetics, and finds
that the evidence favors the first as the
safest, while elhidine ranks next.
Mr.. Alvan CLARK, of Cambridge,
Mass, the leading telescope-maker of
the world, is seventy-six years of age,
but yet shillful and energetic. MIR.
Clark was q portrait-painter for forty
years, and earned S20,0 900 in the prac-
lice of his art before commencing his
telescope experiments.
From the rate of formation of lime
stone rocks and other data, Mr.. Mel
the minimum geological age of the
earth must be at least GOO, ,0O0, 900 years
"a period ample, he thinks, to allow
for all the changes which, according TO
the evolution hypothesis, have occurred
in the organic world.
The astrology of the ancicnts, the
parent of modern astronomy, may be
| thus outlined: The heavens above and
below the horizon were divided by im-
aginary circles, drawn through the
north and south points, into twelve
equal parts, called the twelve houses O
heaven. They were numbered in or
der from the division in the east imme
diately below the horizon. The linei
of division were supposed to remail
. fixed and immovable, so that every
part of the heavens was supposed {,
pass through each house in succession
once in twenty-four hours. The poin
of the ecliptic about TO rise receive,
the name horoscope. The first hous
, was the strongest, aud was called tn
ascendant, or the house of life; IN
second was the house of riches: tn
! ! third, OF brethren; the fourth of pai
! ! ents and relatives the fifth, of children
! the sixth, of health; the seventh, G
u marriage; the eighth, of death; th
ninth of religion; the tenth of dign
taries; the eleventh, of friends; th
Z twelfth, of foes. 10 each division {
o the heavens one of its bodies was al
signed as its lord, who presided in hi
own house, The nativity of any pc
r SON was cast by forming plan of III
n heavens from the relative position ,
the heavenly bodies in the varior
houses at the moment of birth. Wit
the advent of the Copernican theory

family were also away, the latter being
at Keyport. The hardware dealer had
been expecting an invitation from his
brother to spend few days with him

mind that the expected trip was at hand.

he arrived at his brothers store in New

Rev. Daniel Isaac was an eccentric
itinerant preacher. He once alighted
at an inn to stay all night. On asking
for bed he was told he could not have
one, as there was to be ball that night
and all the beds were engaged.
"At what time does the ball break
up inquired Mr.. Isaac.
"About three o'clock in the morning,
SIR
"Well, then, can have bed until
that timer
"Yes, certainly; but if the bed is
asked for you will have to move"
"Very we'll" replied Mr.. Isaac.
About three O'Clock in the morning
he was awakened by a loud knocking
at the chamber door.
"What do you want" he asked.

quired a voice.
'There's me and Daniel and Mr.

1t was paralytic seizure. They
took him upstairs aud attended him,
but the case was desperate from the
first. Only Just before the end did he
so far recover the power of speech as
to be able to make full confession Of
what had occurred.
Sir Lewis had been a younger son.
The eldest inherited the family title,
but died early, leaving the widow TO
give him q posthumous heir, the title
remaining in allowance until time show
ed whether the infant was boy or girl.
IL proved TO be boy, whercupon NAL
laby, who had the earliest intimation of
the fact, put into execution nefarious
project which he had carefully concocted
in advance. A girl was obtained from
a foundling hospital and substituted by
Lady Mallaby's nurse, who was III
Lewis pay, for the newly born son and
heir. This son and heir was handed
over to another accomplice, Hester Cor
rigan, who was bribed with ElO0, hall
down in the shape of half note, the
other half to be paid when she an
nounced her safe arrival in Texas with
her stolen child. Mrs. Gorrigan had
| an unquenchable thirst and in her tran
sit between London and Liverpool al
lowed her precious charge to slip out
of her hands, with the consequences we
know.
1t was the watch borrowed from Sir
Lewis Mallaby which first aroused
Jacks suspicious. 1t bore the strange
crest-two hammers crossed, with the
motto, " / strike, which was marked
upon the linen of the child that Dan
Blockit picked up at Kirkington station.
The initial of the name Mallaby coin
cided with the monogram ii. l.. Nj.
Jack rapidly drew his conclusions and
made bold shot which hit the mark,
as we have seen.
Lewis Mallaby's confession soon re-
instated the rightful heir, and Dan
Blockit in after years had no reason to
regret the generosity which had prompt
ed him to give the little founding the
shelter of his rude home.

MY BIRTHDAY.

Ny birthday GLOW many years ago
Twenty or thirty?" Don't ask mel
"Forty or linyY" How eau tclly
do not remember my birth, You secl
II is hcarsay eyidencc--nothing morci
Once on time, the legends say,
\ girl was born, and that girl was |;
How can vouch for the truth, pray?
! know am here: but when came
Let some one wiser than am tell
DO You think this flower YOU pluckc'l for me
Knew when its bud began TO swcllr
How old am /? You ought to know
Without any telling of mine, my dear;
For when came 10 this happy earth
Were you not waiting for me hcrcy
A dark-cycd boy on the Northern hills,
Chasing the hours with flying feet
Did you not know your vile was born,
By subtle prcscicncc, faint, yet swectY
Did never breath from the Southland come,
With sunshine laden, and rare perfume,
To lit your hair with n soft carcss,
And wakcn your heart to richer bloom?
Not onei Oh, mystery strange as life
To think that we who are now 80 dear
We're once in our dreams so ihr apart,
Nor cared If the other were far or ncarl
old am /? You must tell
just as old rs ! seem to you,
Nor shall day older bc
While life remaineti and love is true.
