sCIENCE AND INDusTRY.

FROM s1,OOO,OOO to $4,000, 900 worth
of birds nests are annually imported in
TO Canton, most of them coming from
Java. They are very expensive, costing
from $50 TO $40 per pound. The nests
are composed of pure gelatine, secreted
by a species Of swallow and deposited
against a wall.
LIKE horses, oysters have their points.
The points Of an oyster are, first, the
shape, which, to be perfect, should re-
semble very much the petal of a rose
leaf Next, the thickness of the shell
a first-class thoroughbred native should
have a shell of the tenuity of thin
china or Japanese teacup. It should
also have an almost metallic ring, and
peculiar opalescent luster in the inner
side; the hollow for the meat of the
oyster should be as much like an egg
cup as possible. Lastly, the meat itself
should be white and firm and nut-like in
taste.
The London Times says: "The new
and apparently most valuable method
Of preserving raw meat, discovered by
Prof Artimin;, of Florence, and patent
ed in this country, promises to have a
great effect upon our markets. Accord
ing TO report by Profs. Barf and
Mills, Of the Glasgow University, and
DR.. Stevenson, of Guys Hospital, meat
six months old, was found to be per-
fectly sound and good, the mus
cular fibre unchanged and the nutritive
properties unimpaired. The material
employed is said to be less expensive
than salt, and not only wholesome but
pleasant to the taste"
AN ingenious method for obviating
the frequent stoppage of trains at sta
tions, and yet. accommodating the pas
sengers from these stations, has been de-
vised by NJ. Hanrez, a Frenchman. A
"waiting carriage" comprising a steam
engine with special gear and space for
passengers and luggage, is placed on a
siding at the station, and picked up by
the train as it goes past. The latter, by
means of hook on its last carriage,
catches a ring supported on apost and
connected with a cable wound on a
drum in the waiting carriage. There
upon the drum begins to unwind, and
in doing so congresses a system of
springs, while the carriage is moved at
rate gradually increasing TO that of
the train. The engine of the carriage
then winds in the cable, the train and
carriage are connected, passengers are
transferred (the carriages being of the
American type) from the Joined car
riage to the train, and vice versa, then
the two are disconnected, and the en-
CINE of the carriage working on the
wheels brings it back to the station
whence il was taken,

Christianity in Business.

THE times demand especially the ap-
plicatiOn of Christian principles to mer-
camille affairs. The increased facilities
for successful business pursuits now af-
forded are drawing increased numbers
of professed Christians into the whirl-
ing and eddying tide of commerce. If
by this new dangers are incurred by
those thus occupied, there are also af-
forded new facilities for doing good by
displaying in a new light the excellence
of the Gospel. AS the disciples of the
lowly Savior are now found in the eX-
change, in the marts of trade, and in all
places "where merchants most do con-
gregate,n so should Christ be there
gloriied in the supereXcellence of their
probity, courtesy and unsullied integ-
rity. Let Christ be confessed in the
manifestation of His grace in the lives
of His disciples; let goddess world be
taught that the elevated morality which
is admired in the Christian man Of busi-
ness is the fruit of piety, and the result
of the precepts and the spirit of Chris
tianity in the hearts of its subjects.
The quickened activities of the age
require corresponding energy and de-
votedness in the duties of Christian
ity. Our quickened powers must be
consecrated to Christ in good works.
The great want of the world at this
time is a stronger and more copious in
fusion of the spirit of Christianity in
the common affairs of life, We do not
in any sense disparage the great agen-
cies by which the Church has hitherto
operated-the ministry, the Sabbath and
the ordinances of the sanctuary. But
these, though the most eminent, and
| therefore the most conspicuous, are not
all; nor are they, in some aspects Of the
case, so great and effective as certain
others. The work of the ministry oc-
cupies one of hundred Christians; but
the Lord has need of all in dillusing the
doctrines and influences of religion. -
