Science as a Detective.

4 correspondent tells AT greater length
that we have space for, the story OF an
attempted fraud which mas been exposed
by chemistry. An emery wheel, guar
antccd to stand six hundred revolutions,
was run ut the speed of one thousand
revolutions. and burst, doing large
amount oi damage. \ suit To recover
was instituted. based on a letter written
bv the seller of the wheel, in which the
strength of the wheel was rated at six
teen hundred revolutions. While in
the Office of the prosecutor, endeavOrlng
Ia effect a settlement, the defendant
observed that certain make Oi INK was
used. and ne learned 10y casual inquiry
that the same ink was used exclusively
bv the prosecutor. The defendant had
for several years used another ink.
Taking samples of the two inks To a
chemist. he was able, after analysis, to
secure a solvent for the one which would
not affect the other. The case came to
trial. Evidence was taken ~ To the
kind Of ink each party employed. Then
the chemist was called, and in the pres
cucc Of the jury applied the solvent,
which removed the InterpOlated Il,
and lett the rest of the writing untouch-
ed. The proof of the forgery was sutf-
rirnt. and the ease was dismissed, leav-
ing the dishonest prosecutor to defend
himself from a criminal charge.

Gorge Eliot,s Profits.

London Correspondence of the Chicago Tri-
buue.
George Eliot is now tifty-nine and
childless, and, though it may not be
called so, hers is a most melancholy Wild
owhoOd. She was always referred to,
while he lived, as the wife of Lewes.
She never was his wife; she never could
be, for Mrs. Lewes proper still survives.
Sin frequently contributes TO longevity.
George EliOt's writings have been very
profitable. Their value in the market
has rapidly increased. For "Scenes OF
Clerical Lie" she received but $500
Isl, 500; for "Adam Bede" she got all
told, $4,000 (Sl5,000), but something
less, fear, for Mill on the Floss. "
"RomOla," perhaps her most artistic
and one of the most interesting OF her
novels to cultured people, has never
been fully appreciated. It's earnings
have, to date, am told, not been much
over $4,000. She has cleared from
"Middlemarch," issued by the Black
woods i'm eight divisions, the enormous
sum of $4,000, and from daniel Deron-
da" about the same "Silas Mariner"
one OF her strongest stories, was not
very profitable, while Felix Holt" not
at all equal to it, gave her six times as
much money. Her poetry tshe has is
sued six Volumes has not been liked,
nor does it deserve to be liked in any
measure with her novels. Still, she pre-
fers her poetry, and would rather be
ranked as poet than a ictionist Her
entire earnings have been about $780,
600, and she could make contract any
day for a new story for which she
would be guaranteed $4,000. Her
money-making power is not excelled by
that of any writer in Great Britain.

Some American superstiticns.

The following superstitions, handed
down by tradition, are yet frequently
believed in many parts OF America:
White specks on the nails are luck.
Whoever reads epitaphs loses his mem
orv. To rock the cradle when empty is
injurious to the child. To eat while a
bell is tolling for funeral causes tooth
ache. The growing OF hen indicates
some approaching disaster. When
mouse gnaws a gown some misfortune
NAV be apprehended. He who has
teeth wide asunder must seek his for
tune i'm some distant land. Whoever
finds iour-leai trefoil-shamrock-
should wear it for good luck. Beggars
bread should be given to children who
are slow in learning to speak. III a
child less than y months old be brought
into a cellar he becomes fearful. When
children play soldier on the roadside
it forebodes the approach Of war. A
child grows proud if suffered to look
into mirror while less than II months
old. He who proposes moving into
new house must send in beforehand
bread and a new broom. Whoever
sneezes at an early hour either hears
some news or receives some present the
same day. The first tooth cast by a
child should be swallowed by the moth
err, TO insure a new growth Of teeth.
ButtOning the coats wry, or drawing on
a stocking inside out, causes matters to
90 wrong during the day. BY bendingthe
head TO the hollow of the arm theinitial
letter OF the name,of ones future spouse
is represented. Women who SOW fax
seed should, during the process, tell
some coniOunded lies, otherwise the
warn will never bleach white. When
women are stufiing beds the men should
not remain in the house, otherwise the
feathers will come through the ticks.
When a stranger enters a room he
should be obliged to seat himself, If
only for a moment, as he otherwise
takes away the children's sleep with
him. The following are omens OF death:
a dogs scratching on the floor or howl
ing in particular manner, and owls
hOoting in the neighborbood OF the
house. Domestic harmony must be
preserved when washing day comes, in
order to insure fine weather, which is
indispensable, as that ceremony is gen.
orally performed out Of doOrs.-NOtes
and Queries.

The venerable and highly respected
DIR. Isaac T. Nicklin, of Tyler county,
died last week. He died unknown to
fortune and fame. But he came so near
greatness that his death is worth at least
a passing notice. DIR. Nicklin was un-
duubtcdly the original inventor of
the correct system of magnetic tele-
graph, and he had perfected his theory
long before Morse received the patents
which gave him distinction and great
name. Poverty, however, and other
causes combined to prevent DIR. Nicklin
from securing patent until Morse
system was patented and adopted. And
thus, through a misfortune, was lost TO
the world great and good man.
