we'll understood, however, In the British
metropolis, that none OF these suggestions
strike nt the root Of the matter, and that
nothing decisive will have been done Till all
the companies are compelled to forego their
supplies from the rivers and depend exclu-
sively on artesan wells sunk In the chalk
formation. The corporations could not af-
ford. thoy say, the required expenditure,
and they have offered 10 sell out their vest
cd rights to tho Government, which might
sink the wells itself. This purchase, 1t will
bo remembered, was contemplated by the
BEAcoNsTIELD Cabinet just before the dis
solution of the last Parliament, and the
large price demanded by the companies ex-
cited great deal of unpleasant comment
No doubt tho price was too large; but. upon
some terms or other. the Government will
probably have to obtain possession of tho
existing works, in order to insure the deliv-
cry OF unpolluted water to the vast metro
politan population.

Patent Medicines.

1t is proved by statistics that more patent
medicines, or secret remedies, are made and
consumed in the United States than in any
other country. Some OF them have long
been popular, and for many years have
yielded large profits to their proprietors;
but most OF them continue in vogue only
during comparatively brief period and
then fall into disuse, or decline greatly in
sale, owing to the appearance of new prep
arations, which are forced on public atten-
tion by the aid Of liberal advertising.
There are many patent medicines whose
sale is almost as steady from year to year
as that OF the most commonly used drugs,
and their names are familiar to everybody.
Very solid and continually increasing for
tunes are made at the business, which has
grown TO gigantic proportions, though the
vast majority OF the long list Of patent
medicines are OF little value to their con-
coctors, to say nothing OF those who resort
to them for cure Of their ailments. They
are to be found among the unsuitable goods
In city and country apothecary shops,
showed aside by the constant accumulation
of newer and more fashionable remedies.
The success of the more famous medicines,
OF course, always acts as stimulus to tho
inventors of preparations designed to COM
pete with them; but tho foundations OF
great fortunes are not laid every day in this
business OF popular remedies, and the per-
centago OF failures is as great as in any
other department OF trade which appeals to
the public taste, or fancy, or credulity.
The trade lists OF patent medicinal prepara-
tions contain a much larger number Of arti-
cles than the list OF medicines embraced by
our regular pharmacopGia, and the con-
sumption Of these remedies Is at least as
great as that OF the medicines recognized as
legitimate by tho medical profession. In
decd. it is probable that the patent medicine
men do more Of the dosing for the people
than the regular doctors. The Importance
OF protecting the public against injury from
these secret preparations is therefore urged
on Congress and the State Legislatures by
Mr.. c. LEWIS DIEHL, in his recent report to
the National Board OF Health on the adul-
teration and misuse Of medicinal drugs.
Already the general regulations under
tho revenue and collection laws require
the rejection and condemnation OF patent
and secret medicines imported into the
] United States. "unless the special sx-

Condolences of Two Murders.

1t is not only deserving of consideration,
as some OF our contemporaries have re-
marked. that in less than one week after the
execution of BALBo there should have been
a wilful murder committed with the utmost
dellberation, within ten minutes walk OF
his gallows. in the assassination Of HENRI
ETTE RENAUT by AMADEE BIGoT.
There were certain resemblances between
these two crimes which are also worthy OF
consid GRAFTON, and are curious.
In the first place, the motive to the crime
in the two cases was the same, the repulse
Of the murderer by the victim. Then the
weapon used in both was the samoa knife,
although the circumstance that the use OF
the knife had become SO common was one OF
the effective points made use OF against
BALBo, and in favor OF his execution.
1t is worth the while OF philosophers to

The sun., 1880-08-15

Four remarkable groups OF spots are now
visible on the sun. They include some fifty in
dlvdual spots and arc scattered over the disk
in such way as to give it very peculiar ap-
pearance. They can be studied to the best ad-
vantage with an eyepiece OF low power that
shows the whole disk at once; but q good spy-
glass will show the larger ones.
Jupiter and Saturn are now tho most bril-
liant objects in the midnight sky. Saturn's
rings have opened SO far that comparatively
small telescopes will show them. When suf-
aciently magnifed. the division In the rings
can be plainly seen with a two or three inch
telescope. Those who wish to see this planet
in ono Of it's most beautiful phases should not
neglect to study 1t now. 1t will reach its great
est brightness for this year in October. and It's
rings will continue to open for three or four
years yet; but the planet as whole will not
show to better advantage than now.
