A Milky Sea

Some interesting information has been lately published by Lieutenant Pornain, of the French ironclad L'Armide, which, in Feb ruary last met with milky sea in the pas sage from Point de Galle to Alden. The nights of February g. 10, 12 and 13 were characterized by the phenomenon in all it's splendor, the ship during this time trayersing 660 miles q, 100 kilometrss), in a mean lati- tude of 12 . north, between the meridians of 61 Q and 51 east longitude. There was no thunder storm, the sky was clear, the moon new, the barometer, thermometer and hy- grometer were regular, and gentle northeast monsoon was blowing. The temperature of the surface of the water was constant at 25 Q O. The sea was like 8 snow-covered field on a clear night, and all trace of uudulations was lost sight of. The milky look was hardly disturbed by the motion of the ship and work ing of the screw (which shows that the layer had considerable thickness.) By day, all dis appeared but the hue of the sea was some- what altered.
 Looked at attentively over the ships side, at night, the water was seen to contain enormous number of luminous particles pres sed close together, and more brilliant close to the side where undisturbed. Some 400 of these corpusces, one to two centimeters long, could be counted in a bucket holding ten litres of water. Drawn out, these were seen to be of gelatinous substance, which quickly dried and disappeared, leaving dark globule one millmetre in diameter. which, in the micro scope, presented a transparent ovoid animal cule, filled with eggs, and moving it's fins and tentacles necessarily. A drop of water added to the dark globule brought back it's lumin- osity and when the creature was bruised in the hand, it gave bright mark, which. was quickly extinguished, and which had no smell. The milky water kept till day, and looked at in the dark showed no luminosity, even though agitated nor did the water procured by day and brought into darkness. Several of the officers on board L'Armide had witness ed the phenomenon before, but never so brilliant or so continuous. The Armide,- in going out. had passed thirty leagues further north in February, 1878, without encounter ing anything of the kind.

boiled to pulp to extract the fatty matter, which goes to tallow, and the dry bones, mainly phosphate of lime, are sold for fertili- zing at one cent per pound. The feet are cut of at the knee, and from the hoof neats' foot oil is extracted. The horny part of the foot, the shin bone and knuckle bones are extracted and sold for the manufacture of domestic ivory. The horns are piled up until the pith becomes loose, and this is added to the fertili- gers and the bones sold for manufacture. Every atom of the animal is proftably used.
 A trustee of the Le Moyne cremating fur mace says that it is open to the use of every body on the following conditions The certif cate of respectable physician that the death was from natural causes, that the disease was not of a contagious nature, that the body has not been kept or buried, and finally that the dead person was of good repute. The charges at the furnace are $45, which includes crema- tion, hesrse and carriage from the depot, and box for remains. It requires 24 hours to heat the furnace, and the trustees consider it de- sirable to have 36 hours advance notice. The reduction of the body to ashes takes about
 
 till 20 to 30 hours thereafter. The ashes gen. erally weigh from five to seven pounds and can be placed in small tin box holding helf- gallon or so. Mir. Julius LaMoyne, son of the doctor and one of the trustees, may be ad- dressed by any one desiring the use of the crematory. From the above it will be seen that cremation is cheaper than an ordinary funeral and many already think 1t much bet ter. We believe the number of those who hold this opinion is destined to largely in crease within the next twenty five years.
 1hs people of the United States have cause to be ashamed of some things done in public life, but our cabinets have never been guilty of deceiving the country respecting the condition of the national finances while a general election was pending. In England MT. Fswcett distinctly asserts that an error amounting to about $2o, GOO, 900 in the Indian budget was known to Lord Cranbrook the day after the Government had announced sur plus in the House of Commons, and declined on that ground to relieve India of the charges of the Afghan war. MT. Gladstone, last No vember, intimated his suspicion that the fig ures then published were incorrect. Mir. Fawcett and other Indian authorities also re iterated their doubts Lord Lytton denounced Mir. Gladstone's attack calumnious and cowardly. Lord Stanhope and Sir Staff ford Northcote affirmed the accuracy of the official accounts in the House of Commons, and the country acquiesced accordingly in the Ministerial refusal to charge part of the Af- ghan expenses to England. If Mir. Fawcett is correct the Ministry, though acquainted with the facts ten days before the House ad- journed, concealed them, fearing their effect on the elections. If the Ministers did this the result of the elections must have brought the truth that honesty is the best policy home to them very forcibly.

One of the cleverest diamond robberies Of
modern times is reported in tone of odd com.
plaCenCy by the leading journals of St. Peters
burg. About fortnight ago handsome equip
age drew up nj the door of the first jewoler in
the Russian capital. Alighting from the
carriage au elegantly-dressed and remarkably
pretty young lady entered the shop aud re-
questcd that some trays of brilliants might
be shown to her. Several costly sets were
forthwith submitted for inspection, and after
some hesitation she selected riViors aud pen.
dants valued at 10000 rOuhcs, and, stating
that she was the wife of an eminent mad doe.
tor, whose name is Il household word in ST.
Petersburg, requested the proprietor Of tho
jewels to accompany her home with tho lew
els, in order to settle finally with her husband
about their price. The jowelcr packed up his
diamonds and got into the carriage with his
fair customer. Presently they arrived ut
n large house, and were received ut the porte
cochere" by Suisse IN splendid livery, who
conducted them up brill iantly lighted stair
case into II richly furnish ed drawiug.roOm in
which the lady begged her companion to take
u seat, and, jewel.case in hand proceeded TO
summon "her husband" Entering the doc.
tors consultation room in an apparent state of
uncomfortable agitation, she informed the
latter that she had brought her unfortunate
spouse to visit him, In tho hope that he would
undertake to cure him Of the strange mono

ingenious device was crowned with complete
success. She drove OIL with the diamonds;

resulted in his being placed under bodily re-
