THE MOUNTAIN ROAD.
BY JULIA C. r. DORR.

Only a glimpse of mountain road
That followed where the river flowed;
Only glimpse,-then on we passed,
Skirting the forest dim and vast.
I closed my eyes. On rushed the tram
Into the dark, then out again,
Startling the song-birds as 1t flew
The wild ravines and gorgcs through.
But. needing not the dangerous way
O'erhung by sheer cliffs, rough and gray,
[ only saw. in q dream,
The road beside the mountain stream.
No smoke curled upward in the air,
No meadow lands stretched broad and fair;
But towering peaks rose far and high,
Piercing the clear, untroubled sky.
Yet down the yellow, winding road
That followed where the river flowed,
[ saw long procession pass
As shadows over bending grass.
The young the old, the sad, the gay.
Whose feet had worn that narrow way,
Since first within the dusky glade
Some Indian lover woOcd his maid:
Or silent crept from tree to troe-
Spirit of stealthy vengeance, he
Or breathless crouched while through the brake
The wild deer stole, his thirst to slake;
The barefoot school-boys rushing out,
An eager, crowding, roisterous rout
The sturdy lads: the lasscs gay
AS bobolinks in merry May;
The farmer whistling to his team
When first the dawn begins to CLEAN;
The loaded wains that one by one
Drag slowly home at set of sun;
Young lovers straying hand in hand
Within q fair enchanted land;
And many bride with lingering feet;
And many q matron calm and sweet;
And many an old man bent with pain.
And many solemn funeral train;
And sometimes red against the sky,
An army's banner waving high
All mysteries of life and death
To which the spirit answereth,
Are thine, o lovely mountain road.
That followed where the river flowed.

THE SCORPIONS SUICIDE.

A writer III Nature protests against the
popular belief that the scorpion, when
surrounded by fire, stings itself to death.
Dropped into the fre-bound ring, he
says the poor scorpion would at once be
scorched nigh unto death, and to escape
the ensuing agony why does it not then
and there commit suicide No; after
vain attempts to get away, in each of
which it is more and more scorched, if
not absolutely burned in its head, it's
vital powers fail, and its last instructive
throe is to gather it's limbs together as
much as possible away from the heat
Tie heat has killed it.

CHLORAL HYDRATE COMPOUND.

In paper published in the Complies
Rendus, No. %, Professor A. Wurtz
maintains that the vapor of choral ny
drate is not a compound, but mixture,
for the following reasons: l. Itdiffuses
itself into mixture of watery vapor and
anhydrous alcohol. 2. On ebullition,
hydrated choral is resolved into watery
and anhydrous choral, which may be
separated by means of chloroform or by
fractional distillation. 3. The vapor Of
chloral hydrate behaves with hydrated
or anhydrous salt like mixture con-
tanning watery vapor. 4. The two va
pors may meet without occasioning any
rise of temperature.

These boots had constant wear through April
and May, and since that time they have been
worn every morning through the dew to get the
COWS and do their milking in, and have seen
four pair of them, and they are apparently as
good as when sold them. Milk whey and dew
on a rubber boot, or any other boot, for six
months, are as good tests as can be had. The

PRESERVED MILK.

Four months ago Herr Phillip placed
in the hands of the Chemical Agricultu-
raj Commission of Zurich bottle con-
tanning a sample of his preserved milk.
1t had been eight days in an ordinary
living room, often at IS degrees, without
perceptible effect on quality, taste, or
appearance; it creamed like any other
milk, and butter might have been made
from it. The same results were obtain
ed at various other times, and the most
careful tests of the president and analyst
of the commission failed to detect in the
milk any doubtful ingredient, such as
some experimentors have used for milk
preservation.

Some trials were made lately on the
Seine, at Paris, to determine the best
way Of breaking up river ice with dyna-
mite. Bernard and Lay, assisted by two
specialists, Flegy and STREETS, of the
Nobel Dynamite Company, directed the
operations and recorded the results. The
best effect was obtained by placing three
cartridges of 400 grammes of dynamite
beneath the ice, each connected with an
electric machine on the bank of the river.
When the cartridges were exploded, it
vas found that the ice was shattered a
distance of about 80 metres, and through
a width of from five to six metres. The
pieces of the fractured ice were, more
over, found to be very small and easily
carried down stream past Instructions
such as bridge piers.
PHoToGRAPHING THE sPECTRA OF STARS.
DIR. Higgins, says the Athen9ataaa,
gives an account of the methods he had
employed for photographing the spectra
of stars. The slit of his spectroscope is
placed in the principal focus of fifteen
inch Cassegrain reflector; one sixty de-
gree prism of Iceland spar has been made
use of. Iceland spar is very transparent
to the ultraviolet rays, and has dis
persive power nearly equal to that of
dense flint glass. An ingenious contriv-
ance has been devised for keeping the
image of star upon the slit of the spec
troscope, which is only 1-350th of an inch
broad. No cylindrical lens has been
made use of, and a linear spectrum of a
star having been obtained the instrument
is slightly moved, and another adjacent
linear spectrum is taken, until the whole
spectrum is sufficiently broad to be con-
veniently examined under the microscope.
Some of these spectra are only about half
an inch in length. In one of them seven
lines can be counted between the III and
K lines, proving that the nebulous ap-
pearance of some of the broader lines
is not due to any want of sharp detini-
ton.

BENEFITS OF ANT1sEPTIC DRESSING.
The opinion of Gosselin and Bergaron,
respecting the beneficial effects of anti
septic dressings on wounds, is that the
good influence is not merely due to the
destruction of ferments, but to the coag-
ulation produced in the albumen.
HOW INTEREST ACCUMULATEs.
A bank book was presented at the
Blocker Street Bank for savings recently
for the first time since 1919, the year in
which the bank was opened. The book
showed only one deposit, Sc, made in
December, 1919. It was presented for
interest, which amounted to $157.O6.
EFFECTS OF COMPRESSED AIR.
Stembo finds that when the atmospher-
ic pressure increases there is steady in
crease in the capacity of the lungs, from
which he concludes that compressed air
will have healing tendency in inhamma-
ton of the mucous membrane of the
bronchial tubes and in bronchial asthma.
He also finds that with increasing pres
sure the temperature of the skin invaria-
bly, sinks.
SOLUBLE VIOLET.
A short notice has been published by
nj. PrudhOmme on the new violet color
called soluble violet, or anthracene vio-
let. This compound is closely analo-
gous to gallein, of which it is probably
a substitution product. 1t contains no
nitrogen, and it is distinguished from
gallein by the impossibility of convert
ing it into cerulein, and by it's resistance
to boiling soap I've upon tissues moder-
ated with iron and alumina, as well as by
its great resistance to the influence of
solar light.
LIGHT-COLORED CLOTHING FOR WINTER.
The London Lancet points out that
hght-colored clothing is far better adapt
ed for winter wear than dark, inasmuch
as the nearer the color of q substance
approaches to white the less easily does
it part with the heat. This fact is i'm
portant when we remember that the
only source of animal heat-especially
during the winter-is located within the
organism, and that the use of clothes is
to preserve the caloric. For this reason
the polar bears fur is white, while that
of tie warmer zones is dark.
