STUDY THE FACE-A story is told OF
a great French satirist which finely IL
lustrates his knowledge of human ma
ture. He was travelling e in Germany, in
entire ignorance of its language and
currency. Having obtained some
small change for some of his French
coins he used to pay drivers and others
in the following man"er: taxing a
handful of the numismaticai specimens
from his pocket, he counted then, one
by one into the creditors hands, keep
ing his eye fixed all the time on the
receivers face. AS soon as he per-
ceived the least twinkle of smile he
took back the last coin he deposited in
the hand AND returned it. with the re-
mainder. to his pocket. He afterward
found that in pursuing this method he
had not overpaid for anything.

The purchase having been made, it is now discovered that out of 62,OOO volumes only taco com- ptete sets of the Globe can be found; that to complete five hundred sets, 1866 vol umes must be printed, and of these the 1 type will have to be set and the plates cast for fifteen volumes The cost for completing five hundred sets will entail a further expenditure of upwards of $780, 000' The question naturally arises, "For what purpose was this waste of the peo. ples treasure mades"

Eucalypti.

Baron F. Won Moelle, of the Victorian Botanical Department Australia, has found that the essential.oil, so useful in counteractiug malarian effluvia, differs greatly in quantity In the several varie- ties. The percentage of the oil in their foliage is given as follows: E. anygtialcna, 3.1l3; E. oleosa, 125O; E. leucorylon, 1.06O; E. goniocalyx, 0.9l4; E. GIobulus. OTIS; E. oliq,td, 0.5OO. This proportion varies &C., cording to locality and season. The E. rostrdta, though poor in oil, grows well on periodically inundated places, ard even in stagnant water that is not saline. As the E. oleosa fourishes in the desert plains of extra-tropical Australia, 1t might be grown In similar places for the sake of the oil. A compensation for the small quantity of oil In the E. globulus is its rapid and lux. uriant growth. The oil Is useful in the arts, as it dissolves the following. among other substances, for fine varnishes and other preparations; Camphor, pine resins 1 mast;c, elemi, sandarac, kauri, dammar asphalt, dragons blood, benzoe, copal amber. shellac, caoutchouc and wax.

4 New Refrigerating Liquid from
 BeetS.

bectS.
 In Europe the principal supply of sugar is uerived from beets; the annual production of beet sugar being now 7OO,- 600 tons. Besides this large quantity of beet moIasses is produced, portion of which is distilled and coarse sort of whskey made; the stuff remaining in the retort yields potassium salts, which are employed as fsrtilizers. Sugar, spirits and potash have heretofore been the chief products manufactured from beets. But Mir. Vincent hus now succeeded in realizing from the refuse that remains after the beet molasses distillation, a combustible, gaseous body, which is easily condensed into liquid form, and Is called chloride of methyl. This liquid obtained as stated from beets, is used in the preparation of some of the aniline eolors; but it Is now found to be especi- ally valuable as refrigerating agent | By its rapid evaporation temperature 55 deg. C., or 67 deg. Fahr. below zero may be maintained, which is far below the freezing point of mercury. Prof Huxley says that by this means mercury (which freezes at 39 deg. Fahr. below ze ro) may be frozen by the pound. Fol the manufacture of ice this new bee root product promises to become of muci importance.-Sci 4m.

 Fe Railroad.
 It IS now proposed to extend this line through New Mexico into Arizona to Tucson, and thence to Magdalena and Hermosillo, terminating at Guaymas in SonO. ra, on the Gulf of California. The public will look to the completion of this road with great interest, as it will develop very rich agri. cultural and mining districts by the shortest and most practical route across the continent.
 Our readers will be more inter, ested in the mineral resources that will become tributary to this great railroad. Although no very important mining is yet being carried on in that portion of the country which this road will open, and but little carefully prepared information has been furnished relative 10 the mineral resources, yet we are impressed with the belief that they will prove among the richest yet developed. Asan evidence of what may be expect ed with an outlet by railroad, 1t is stated that in times past copper ores were shipped at profit, be- tween 500 and 900 miles, by teams to the Gulf of California, and thence by vessel to Swansea, England.
 One of the most important de- velopments will be an anthracite coal-field about 115 miles from Guaymas. This of itself will probably develop into an impor- tant industry, but 1t assumes greater importance from the fact that a cheap fuel will assist in the development of other minerals, and will Tighten the public's bur- den, by reducing the railroad company's cost of transportation.
 Several good authorities have visited this coal-AeId ". Bruck- ner, H. E., says: "The thick ness of the coal exposed to the eye is five to six feet, perfectly pure and free from slate. The foot wall has not been exposed, so that the real thickness of the vein is not known. I analysed two samples of this coal, taken bS myself, as I went through, and found 4 per cent. of ash of :grayIsh color; and as fine as woot This coal has been used for on' year for steam purposes at thu Baranca mill. The engineer il charge of this mill, who has ha' & long experience on Atlanti .steamt where he used Penn sylvania anthracite, believes 1t t be superior to the latter; the Sc nora coal containing less ash an leaving no clinkers on the grate T made no other analysis, but wi Say that from the way the coz burns there is not the slightes trace of bitumen in it." Experi ments made by Gen. w. s. Rose crans, with specimens taken t San Francisco by MT. Brucknel gave a specific gravity of TIT.
