OCEAN PERILS.

Another addition to the dangers of the
ocean passage, which is generally over
looked in the consideration of the perils
that beset those who go down to the sea in
ships, was shown to exist in very serious
reality by the explosion that took place on
the passenger steamship Greece, Just ar
rived from England, and about entering her
dock. The descent of one of the hands
with lighted lantern into the hold, to un-
fasten the matches, caused an explosion of
coal-ga that had been gsnt rated during the
voyage in the confined space, without op-
portunity to escape, by reason of want
of adequate provision for ventilation and
the result was the loss of five lives and the
serious injury of seven persons. Unfor-
tunate as the accident was, it would have
been far more serious had the explosion oc-
Cured little after the vessel had made fast
to the pier. The immediate cause of the
accident is, we think, very properly
ascribed to the practice of the English
owners of steamers OF taking on coal enough
on the other side to carry them back again.
The danger attending the carrying of
bituminous Goals on long voyages, even
where every precaution is taken to guard
against their spontaneous combustion, or
ouS SChSi"tioh anu aSSulhuis-Iloh Vi Apio-
sive gases, has been so frequently demon
strated that it is time that the rule should
be adopted and strictly enforced-at least
with steamers engaged in the carrying of
passengers in addition to being re-
quired to take the well. known precautions
respecting the proper mode of storing and
ventilating their coal supply, ocean steam
ers should be prohibited from taking on at
one time any more than enough coal to
provide for reaching the first destination
where recoaling is practicable Engineer

WHAT JOHN BRowNs Son SAYS OF
HIM. never knew him to show any signs
of fear of anything save that he might do
dishonest act or wrong his fellow-man.
His rule of life was the golden rule
Therefore all things whatsoever we would
that men should do unto you, do ye even
SO to them" On the Sunday evening be-
fore his attack on Harper's Ferry, he said,
And now, gentlemen, let me press this
one thing on your minds; you shall all
know how dear life is to you and how dear
your lives are to your friends and in re-
membering that, consider that the lives OF
others are as dear to them as yours are to
you. Do not, therefore, take the life of
any one if you can possibly avoid it, but if
it is necessary to take life to save your own,
then make sure work of it" After the
battle of Osawatomie my father stood look
ing at the smoke of the burning buildings
rolling up, as they were fired one after
another by the Missourians. He said:
God sees it There will be no more real
peace in this country till the slavery ques-
tion is settled. / have no feeling of re-
vence toward the people of the South. I
have but little while to live and but one
death to die. will die fighting slavery"

lar locust, but there may be some mistake
about it. During the grasshopper year,
1855, there was large grasshopper that
looked great deal like the locust, and was
different from the others. These had a
word-shaped caudel appendage, with
which they bored holes in the ground and
laid eggs through groove in it. These
supposed locusts may be this species of
grasshopper. 1t was much less destructive
than the others.-[Colusa Sun.

FIXED IDEAs.-In the mind of man
That he is overworked. That his consti-
tuition requires stimulants. That, if he
had them, he could at this moment invest
a few hundred to the greatest advantage
That smoking is good for his nerves, his
worries, his literary pursuits, his tooth
ache, etc. That he ought to belorg to a
club. That he could reform the army, do
away with the income tax, manage the
railways better, and make large fortune
by keeping hotel. That he knows a
good glass of wine. That he-could win a
heap of money if he were to go to HON.
burg. That medicine is all humbug. That
he could preach as good sermon himself
That he should soon pick up his French
if he went abroad. That he must win on
this years Derby. In the mind of woman :
That she has nothing fit to put on. That
things ought to be bought because they
are cheap. That there is company in the
kitchen. That she is not allowed sufficient
money for housekeeping. That she never
goes out anywhere. That her best black
silk is getting awfully shabby. That she
requires change about the month Of Au-
gust. That her allowance is too small.
That she never looks fit to be seen. That
cook drinks. That there is always 50 a

house. That Mrs. Orgington is dreadfully

very good-looking, after all.

a New PHoToMETgIc STANDARD. Louis
Schwendler proposes the use of strip of
platinum, heated to certain degree of
incandescence by means of a constant
electric current, as new standard Of
light in photometry. This idea, he states,
is not original with him, but was first
proposed by DIR. Draper, as long ago as
1874. Schwendler describes lamp for
photometric purposes which he devised
upon this principle, which does not differ
essentially from tha. of DIR. Draper.

 Myer by Secretary Stanton before the close
 of the war. An interesting history of the origin of the signal corps was prepared and read by Comrade Lieutenant J. W. Brown of West Medford, Mass. A telegram of sympa- thy was sent to General Myer's widow at Buffalo, and resolutions appropriate to his
 memory were passed, and brief but con-
 prehensive eulogy was pronounced by Gen.

As his demise leaves that office vacant the comrades elected General Fisher and instructed notification to be sent to the secretary of the Army of the Potomac Socie- ty. The members of the signal corps asso- citation also expressed the wish that in view

 might be selected by the Government for the position of chief officer of the signal bureau at Washington made vacant by the demise of General A. J. Myer. The association is

A Thirsty CtLy-FaiIure of its Water
 Supply.

A Thirsty City-FafIure of its Water Supply.
 READING, Aug. 26.-This city and the sur rounding territory has been suffering for quite length of time from severe drouth,
 which has finally ended in a regular water famine. Yesterday the water supply ceased entirely to flow through the hydrants of the whole upper section of the city east of Sixth street. A visit to the two largest reservoirs
 located at the head of Penn street. from which the city is supplied with water, disclosed the fact that one was entirely empty. while the second contained about thirteen feet of water
 This latter is called the fire reservoir, and the water contained therein is used only in case of fire This now constitutes the entire sup ply of water in the reservoirs, and it is that fact that causes such dismay among the peo- pie. Prompt action will be taken by the water commissioners to devise some way by which the present difficulty may be over come. The great need is good soaking rain which would fill the streams supplying the reservoirs. There is much feeling expressed in the city against the water commissioners,
 who are blamed for the present condition of affairs and for not providing means before this to increase the water supply. A great number of mills, factories and other
 workshops in the city were compelled to suspend operations yesterday on account of the scarcity of water, thus throwing out of employment hundreds of men. Families residing in that part of the town affected by the famine obtain their supply from pumps and springs. Many private residences and hotels were compelled to draw the fires in ranges to prevent explosions. How long the famine will continue is at present difficult to surmise; but unless something is done in the way of obtaining a supply of water great distress will surely follow. There were about 15, 900 people without water last night
