According to the Journal of the Frank
lin Institute, Mr.. Holman, the actuary
of that association, has constructed a
lantern for the oxyhydrogen light, which
combines several good qualities. Itmay
at moments notice be changed into a
lantern for showing precipitations the
action of magnets on iron filings, ETC., on
a screen. 1t may readily be converted
into projecting microscope, and with
equal facility it becomes a megascope for
projecting the images of solid objects. In
recent lecture before the Institute by
Mr.. Outerbridge, Jr., of the United
States Mint, on coins and coinage, en-
larged images of rare and valuable an
cient coins were by aid of the lantern
thrown upon a screen with great sharp
ness and brilliancy.
But the cupellation of gold and silver
as performed in the assay Of preciou us
metals at the mint was the most striking
part of the performance. A little cupel
or crucible made of calcined bone ash
was held in the focus of the condensing
lenses of the lantern by means Of ring
of thick copper wire, and the image Of
the cupel appeared upon the screen
greatly enlarged. The cupel was then
heated to a white heat by the oxyhydro
gen blow pipe. A weighed sample Of
gold alloy, consisting of base metal, was
enclosed in an envelope of sheet lead
pressed into the form of bullet, dropped
into the cupel, and Immediately melted
As the lead became oxydized it was grad
ually absorbed by tho cupel. A faint
sheet of light was noticed moving ovel
the surface of the melted metal, as the
gold became exposed. When the lead
was completely absorbed, carrying with
it all the base metal in the alloy, the
purified gold appeared as a brilliant
globule, rejecting the light falling upon
its surface like a mirror.

The Anti ipaihies OF Great People.
LAND and Water.1

Being through an affliction much con-
fined to nv house, take delight in being
surrounded by domestic pets, and have
been much amused by what I thought
the whims and afectations of my ac-
quantance. Some start and are i'll at
ease while my mastiff (who is as gentle
as a lamb) lies under the table; some tell
me they have an aversion to my parrot
its sometimes startlingly apropos answers
and words that curously fit in the con-
versation terrify them, and they think it
"uncanny"; others, and these are many,
really can not sit in the room unless my
cat, who is a great pet, is removed. This
all seemed SO mysterious to me that l
searched an old work on the Affections
and Imaginations of the Mind for a So
luton, and was rewarded by the follow
ing extract, which l send, thinking it
may be interesting to your readers. M.
Chevraux, a celebrated French writer,
observes:
Chow exceedingly whimsical some an
tipathies appearl have known people
faint on smelling the delicious fragrance
of rose, and vet experience pleasure
in smelling jonquil or hyacinth. A
certain governor of one of the frontier
towns could not bear the sight of fish
spawn, and a lady whom I knew went
into convulsions on seeing a crawfish.
Erasmus, who was 4 native of Rotter.
dam, had SO great an aversion to fish that
he could not even smell it without being
in fever. If we may credit Ambrose
Pare, man of some celebrity, he says
that he could never sit at table where
cells were served up without fainting.
Joseph Scalger never drank milk
Garden could not bear eggs. Julius
Caesar Scaliger had an antipathy to
crosses; Uladistas Jagellon, a Polish
King, hated apples; and when Du
Chesne, Secretary to Frencis the First,
smelt them, they occasioned his nose to
bleed. Henry the Third could not re-
main in room where there was a cat;
the same aversion was observed in Mar
shal Shomberg, Governor of Languedoc.
The Emperor Ferdinand introduced a
gentleman to the Cardinal de Lorraine
at Innspruck, whose fear of cats was so
powerful that when he heard them new
at distance blood spurted from his
nose. M. de Laucre says that he knew
gentleman whose fear Of the hedgehog
was excessive, and who believed that
that animal had actually been preying
on his entrails for more than two
years."
He also relates another story equally
singular of gentlemen whose bravery
none disputed, but who was 80 nervous
when mouse appeared that he could
not take out his sword to destroy 1t. M.
Vaughneim, the kings huntsman in
Hanover, tainted whenever he saw a
roasted pig. The Philosopher Chrysip-
pas hated bows so much that whenever
he was saluted he fell down. There are
persons who can not tolerate the sight of
spiders, and there are those who eat them
for amusement. A friend of mine, a
gentleman, brave as the best, tainted
when vaccinated a few months ago. He
could not account for it, he said, as Of
course there was no pain, neither did ht
feel any repugnance.

THE SNOW BREAKER.
How n Horses Marvellous Instinct
is Made Useful In the Sierras.
ITrnekee RanuhlicanI

Is Made Useful In the Sterras.
ITruekee Republican,
The loose snow drifts deeply between
Truckee and Sierraville. The mail is
carried tri-weekly, hence the road has to
be travelled one way each day. During
the heavy winter weather the sleigh
which carries the mail is drawn by three
horses driven tandem. By this means
single broad path is beaten in the mid
die of the road. When the storms are
raging it is necessary to carry the mail
on horseback. Its average weight is
from one hundred to one hundred and
fifty pounds each trip. The mail bags
are strapped on two horses, which are
led by the driver, Sol. Rosseau, who
rides a third horse.
A fourth horse with only halter on is
turned loose to break the road. This
horse is kept for this sole purpose, and is
called the ''snow breaker" For six win
ters this animal has Travelled the Sierra
Valley Road. Turned loose at either
Truckee or Sierraville, he will at once
set out upon his dreary journey. The
winds obliterate all traces of the narrow
path, but with marvellous instinct the
horse follows its every turn and winding.
Sometimes the huge drifts bewilder him
for moment, and missing the hard
beaten path he sinks out of sight in the
loose snow. Out of sight is used quite
literally, for it frequently occurs that his
body is completely covered, and his head
alone is above the surace. If he knows
on which side the trail lies, he will
plunge and struggle to regain his foot
hold.
If, as sometimes occurs, he is confused
as to the proper direction, he possesses
the wonderful instinct of keeping per-
fectly quiet until the driver dismounts
from his horse and comes forward to
point out the road. By means Of long
stick the driver finds the trail, and beat
ing path for few feet in front Of the
discounted snow breaker, speaks ah en-
couraging word to the poor animal. Ev-
cry nerve and muscle is Immediately
strained to regain the lost path, and the
horse again resumes his task as guide.
This snow breaker seems to possess al
most human intelligence. Neither dark
ness nor storms ever daunt him or cause
him to be misled more than few feet.
When in doubt he will take little short
steps scarcely six inches in length, and
each foot feels for the hard beaten ledge
which forms the path. ...

The young idea has been shooting

The girls have made the descent In spe.

anxious to protect the property OF the
