A Rival OF Dr. Tanner.

DR.. Mayo g. Smith, Of Newbury-
port, Mass, about ten years ago tasted
neither food nor water for forty days.
and the Boston IIaUeIer says Of him:
He attended to his regular business,
visited friends, and made no change
except in fasting from his routine of
life. After the first week all feelings
Of hunger and thirst subsidized, and he
said, at the close of his forty days.
fast, be felt strong enough to fast forty
days longer He believed that there
Is nutrIment in the atmosphere to sus-
tain human life in healthy person in
definitely. His fast took place 10 the
winter time, when people consume
more food than at any other season
He was in the habit Of cutting a hole
IN the ice, when the thermometer was
below zero, and plunging in naked,
and of walking ten or twelve miles
aiterward. On Que occasion he
plunged into the river Merrinac, and
IN climbing up ships cable, the

Colorado Springs, AMI works on

obsidlan in the National park.

The Mining and Scientific Press
gives the following account Of re-
cent discovery in the National Park.
which will add another to the nuner-
GUS attractive and curious features Of
that wonderful region: Near the
foot of Beaver Lake, in the National
Park Of Yellowstone, a recent party
of explorers came upon remarkable
mountain of obsidian or volcanic glass,
which rises in columnar cliffs several
hundred feet in hight. AS it was de-
slrable to pass that way, the party
had to cut a road through the steep
CLASSY barricade. I his they effected
by building huge fires on the glass to
thoroughly heat and expand it, and
then dashing the cold water of the
lake against the heated surface to
thoroughly cool and break it up by
shrinkage. Large fragments were in
this way detached from the solid side
OF the mountain, then broken small by
slcdge hammers and picks, not, how
ever, without severe decorations of the
hands and faces of the men from fly
ing splinters. In the Grand canyon
of the Gibson river, the explorers al
SO found precipices of yellow, black
and banded obsidian, hundreds Of feet
high. The natural glass of these To-
calities has from time immemorial
been dressed by the Indians to tip
their spears and arrows

The owners Of the E. A. Merritt. one
of the vessels fired upon by the Span
ish cruiser, say that the statement
abont the location of the vessel when
fred upon is untrue. The Ethel A.
Merritt arrived in Philadelphia on the
24th ult. Capt. Rand said, That's
lie, and every one of my crew will
swear that we were at least six miles
from the coast, and making seven At
the time of taking the second observa-
tion ] am positive we were seven
miles off," Mr. Merritt will write 10
the Secretary of State stating that
every member of the crew of the Mer-
ritt will make an affidavit that she
was more than six miles from tho
coast at the time she was fred on.

STARTING with his theory that the
energy Of a bar magnet acts along
spiral lines, DR.. Shettle surmises that
the energy proceeding from the sun
and striking the earth on the zoae OF
the ecliptic traverses the earth in
spiral path, and finally energies at the
magnetic poles Tie spiral of energy
is "right.handed' at one pole and "left-
handed" at the other, like the mag
netic forces In magnet, and the
electric discharge in Crookes' vacuum
tubes. Like to procession and nuta
tion, he holds that these spiral paths
are constantly changing and produc
ing magnetic variations, and he sus-
poets that the magnetic poles will
complete cycle corresponding to the
period of procession. Altogether
spiral energy is made to play an inn
portant part by Dr.. Shettle. He
holds that all bodies exhibit magnetic
properties just in the degree that they
are capable of changing the energy
traversing them into the spiral form.
The solar radiance on this hypothesis
would not only be the cause of terres-
tial magnetism, but of gravity itself.
as well as host OF other phenomena,
such as those of electricity and those
attending tornadoes, cyclones. water
spouts, etc. The Doctor by no means
intends to confne his theory to the
earth, but makes operation universal.

The Rev. Mr.. White, of New Hamp-
shire, has founded sect called An
gelic Believers They believe in the
disposition Of angels to visit earth's
people, if they were only properly en-
couraged. His object is to restore the
old sociability between human and
angelic beings. In sermon lately
White said it would not surprise him
TO have angels call upon him at any
time, and he held himself in readiness
to give them welcome. Three boys
resolved that Whites faith should be
rewarded. One of them borrowed
three Of his sisters night-gowns, got
three pair of chicken wings. which
were fastened ON the shoulders of the
white garments. With some other
.fixings by way Of disguise, the boys
went at night to the cottage of White
They knocked and said they were
angels. He examined their wings and
raiment, and was satisfied. They
we're hungry and asked for kid.
White had no kid. A fatted calf
would do. White had no calf, and
offered them pork, at which they
turned up their noses Some cold
chicken was set before them, and
hard cider, and they were enjoying
the repast when Mrs. White came in.
She was suspicious, and examined tie
flowing garments, on which she saw
the name "Blodgett' marked. "Ole
man." she cried, "rve washed all three
20 thom night-gowns afore." The
Whites locked the door, took off the
angelic robes, used up two broom
sticks on the boys, and turned them

NEW YORK LETTER.

/ D. -
NEW YORK LErTER,
Irregular Correspondence Of the FRrE parss.l
New York, OcT. 7th, 1885,
The pedestrians, O'Leary, Hart
Guyon, iDobler, and Davies sailed
for Liverpool Tuesday on the steam
ship Wisconsin. O'Leary takes hii
running mare Thought with him
and it is expected she will take par
in races in England. The pedes
trains viii be present at the contest
for the Astly belt to take place al
agricultural Hall, London, com
mencing Nov LIST.
For some time the horses of New
York and vicinity have been troubled
with a complaint very similar to the
epizootic of 1873, only of milde,
character. A general improvement
has been noted during the past week
In most of the stables nearly every
horse has been more or less afflicted
by the sickness, but except in com
paritively few instances, they have
been able TO work. Stable men art
inclined to believe that with favora-
BILE weather, by another week the
effection will have entirely disap
peared. The epizootic has made its
appearance on Staten Island, botf
in public and private stables, but Of
far as known, the horses on the
farms in the interior of the island
have not been attacked yet with the
disease. It is believed that in most
instances the sick horses contracted
the disease in New York. William
Rose, the county veterinary surgeon,
yesterday visited the Brewery sta
bles Of a large concern at the -Four
Corners in the centre of the Island,
and found twelve horses sick; but in
all cases only a very mild type ap-
pears. .fI
It is said that any stable may be
kept free from the disease by simply
hanging large bag Of coarse char
coal where the air can circulate free
ly; it is at least an easy remedy To
try.
The six European steamers which
sailed from the port of New York
Saturday last, carried total of 15,-
$50 barrels Of apples in addition to
other freight. = American apples
having become luxury much
sought after in the old country.
Fall with its brilliant tinted leaves
is with us, and every sunny after
noon ladies and children throng the
parks of both New York and Brook
lyn gathering all within their reach.
You, who live in the country, OF
in beautiful villages, have little idea
with what avidity these fall produc-
tions are sought after by our city
cousins. Indeed, it is safe to say
that there are 10000 people in the
city of New York who have not seen
a green leaf this summer, and many
children who never saw grove oi
trees in their lives.
Chestnuts are very plentiful this
year. and the average Brooklyn boy
has only Prospect Park for his nut
ting ground Notices are conspic.
uously posted ON every tree to the
effect that nuts may be picked from
the ground, but no trees are to be
climbed, OF nuts beaten from the
branches These rules are very
hard to enforce, for the moment the
backs OF the Park Police are turned
the sticks and stones rattle among
the branches ike hail For every
nut striking the ground, there are
three or four boys ready to grAf
far IL
