An INTERESTING article in the Fortraghtly Re
Ujeoo treats of the methods in which the memory
may be trained. There is abundant evidence
that the visuaEzing faculty admits of being
largely developed by education. The testimony
is derived from the published experiences of NJ.
Lecoq de Boisbaudran, late director of the
Ecole Rationale de Dessin, in Paris, which are
related in his Education de la Memoire Pit
toresque." He trained his pupils with extra
ordinary success, beginning with the simplest
figures. They were made to study the models
thoroughly before they tried to draw them from
memory. One favorite expedient was to asso-
ciate the sight-memory with the muscular
memory by making his pupils follow at dis
lance the outlines of the figures with a pencil
held in their hands. After three or four
month practice, their visual memory became
greatly strengthened. They had no difficulty in
summoning images at viii, in holding them
steady, and III drawing them. Their copies
were executed with marvellous fidelity. as attest
ed by a commission of the institute, appointed
n 1852 to inquire into the matter, of which the
eminent painter, Horace Vernet, was a member

In the town of Arietta, at q distance of about
rs miles north of Johnstown on the Sacondaga
river, in New York state, there are TWENTY-FIVE
houses and huts and as many families scattered
along either side of that stream within four
miles, at the farthest, from the upper tanner
les. In eleven of these families thirty-nine
cases of diphtheria and six deaths have recently
occurred. In these eleven families we're forty
children when the disease began its course. In
fourteen other families, not yet attacked, there
are only twenty-one children, and it is hoped
they may be saved from the disease. The banks
of the stream are occupied by tannerier, and ii
is supposed that these are the cause of the
epidemic.

The understanding engine invented by
Mr.. David Sinton, the Cincinnati millionaire, is
said to be complete success. The peculiarly
OF the invention consists in a series of four
arches of varying heights, built of fire-bricks
and rising from the sides of the furnace to the
bottom of the boiler. Between the third and
fourth arches / large, open heat chamber.
The coal is re ID in the fire-bed, III front of
the three ar until the oxygen and coal
cages combine and pass under the arches all
afame into the heat chamber, where they pro-
duce an intense heat devoid of any smoke. Mr..
Sinton will give Cincinnati the free right to use
his invention in its municipal buildings, and he
has no idea of devoting to his own use any
money arising from the sale of rights to others.

THE much-tried and famous Emma mine case
is again to be reopened in accordance with a
decision rendered yesterday in New York by
Judge Choate. The original suit resulted in
favor of the defendants, Trenor W. Park, II. H.
Baxter and others, who we're charged with
effecting the sale of the mine by false repre-
sentations- Subsequently the London company
began suit in equity, in which charges of
fraud were reiterated. Thereupon defendants,
instead of filing an answer to the complaint,
pleaded severally to the bill in bar to the suit.
Judge Choate holds the pleas in bar are not
good in law, and therefore overrules them.
Defendants will now be called on to answer to
the complaint, and suit will be heard in equity.
The amount involved is over S., 100000

CHICAGO has become great fruit market
within few years. The Inter Ocean says:
"The volume of business is represented by a
money value of about 100000 annually.
This includes from $24O, 900 to 100000 credited
to California fruits, and about 1925, OGO to West
India fruits. Ten years ago two or three car
loads of California fruits made up the supply
for the season. Members of Chicago firm
residing in that state saw the possibilities of
the trade, and perfected arrangements that
made Chicago the supply depot for a large part
of the country. The receipts of the one firm are
now about $50 car loads annually. The fruit is
distributed from this city to points as far north
as Winnipeg, as far south as New Orleans, and
as far east as Boston This year the trade in
tropical fruits has increased nearly so per cent,
and the trade in California specialties in almost
the same proportion

AS the most valuable wealth a country can
possess is its healthy population, the tables Of
mortality are worth study; and from these we
find that On the first day of life IS boys die, to
63 girls. In the first week of life 1853 boys die,
to 153 girls. In Prussia the mortality among
females is the greatest from 10 to IA years of
age; and from the 25th to the 40th it is greater
than at other periods of life, and yet at all
periods of life the census of females compares
favorably with that of males. In England,
taking period of seven years, there were
men to Is women who were alive at the age of
100 years; men to womed at 101 years;
men to 5 women at 102 years; men to women
at 103 years of age, and no man to one woman

says the English traveller, not of a speculative

loves authority. We doubt that this is the i'm
