A Wild Gorilla.

4 short time ago the dead walls and
advertising posts of Munich suddenly
broke out in all the colors Of the rain
bow with announcements, couched in
high-6own language, to the effect that
Oil such day the greatest wonder OF the
world would be submitted to public in
spection at The Coliseum, in the shape
OF gifted gorilla, trained with infinite
pains to perform an Italian concerto
upon the violin. 1t may well be mag.
med in so musical city as the Bayva-
rian Residenz, that the public responded
in large numbers to this amazing invita-
ton, and that the Coliseum was crowded
to the ceiling on the opening night of
the performance. There was the gorilla,
horrible of asl ect, but unQuestionably
skilled in the production Of sweet sounds
from an ordinary fiddle, delicately man
ipulated by his formidable paws. y
skeptical spectator, however, contrived
to apprH zach the simian executant unob-
served of its impresario, and made a
slight incision in its hide with pen
knife Strange TO say the animal did
not finch, but fddled on with stoical
steadfastness. Encouraged in his sus-
picions by this most unmonkevlike i'm
passiveness, the doub.er seized Pongo
from behind and shook him roughly !;
whereupon the seams OF his skin gave
way and an elderly gentleman, the i'm
presario's father, stood revealed to the
astounded audience

AT REST.

Once more the ripened year unfolds
Her pennons, gold embossed;
And where the grand oaks, tempest.tossed,
Lift up bare arms, communion holds
With him who thus bound has Bet
For human longing and regret!
While blessed Rest. In sumber deep,
On dropping eyelids lays hand,
And spreading white wings DER the land,
Bids stars eternal vigil keep,
Till sleeps sweet influence shall restore
The Garth to fruitfulness once more!
Thus the full year 30 lightly rounds
Her finished need Of work, and stands
Exultant; though her folded hands
Assures us that all peace abounds,
And past al longing and regret
Is the fair gaol her soul had set.
How different we! We trembling stand
On our graves brink, ard cringing cling
To all the transient hopes which fling
Their ftful lights along the strand;
And Till our star of life has set
Cheat us with longing and regret!
Oh! type of everything Divine
Dear NatuIe-draw us closer yet,
And lead us where no vain regret
Can our unwilling souls confine,
And fold us in thy fond embrace.
When We shall meet Death face TO face.

opening it great volume Of gas rushed
from the tube, and within was found a

of the tube sit was quite black. and
was removed with chisel, and as it APP
peared to be composed principally of
iron and lithium it was laid aside for
analysis. was pulverizing it in a NOR
tar, when l felt that some parts of the
material were extremely hard-not re-
sisting blow, but hard otherwise. On
looking closer l saw that these were
most transparent pieces imbedded in the
hard matrix, and on triturating them 1
obtained some free from the black mat
ter. They turned out to be crystalline
carbon, exactly like diamond" Such is
Mr.. Hannay's account of his discovery.
Subsequent chemical and optical analy-.
sis has proved that these hard, shining
crystals are in every respect true dia-
monds. The cost is obviously great so
also is the danger to life and property,
and the great difficulties to be overcome
render disappointments common. What
we now want is to get vessels of ma
terial sufficiently strong and non-porors
to resist the high pressures and temper
atures upon which the success OF the ex-
pertinent depends. What we have
learned, among other things, from the
brilliant researches of NM. Chillelet and
Pictet which led to the liquefaction of
The so-cal.ed permanent gases. and from
Mr.. Hannay's experiments, described
above, is that we must push the forces
of nature to their utmost strain by using
our most powerful mechanical devices
for producing pressure, our strongest
materials for resisting it, and our in
tensest means of producing both heat
and cold.

A Glass Mountain.

Another marvel recently brought 10
light in the Yellowstone Park of North
America is nothing less than mountain
of obsidian or volcanic glass. Near the
foot of the Beaver lake band Of ex-
plorers came upon this remarkable
mountain, which rises in columnsr cliffs
and round bosses TO many hundreds of
feet in altitude from kissing hot springs
at the margin of the lake As it was
desirable TO pass that way, the party
had to cut road through the steep
CLASSY barricade. This they effected by
making huge fires on the glass to thor
oughly heat and expand it, and then
dashing cold water of the lake against
the heated surface, SO as to suddenly
cool and break it up by shrinkage.
Large fragments were in this way de
tached from the solid side of the noun
tain, then broke up small by sledge
hammers and picks, not however, with
out severe decorations of the hands and
faces of the men from flying splinters-

New Varieties of Tea.

An English Consul reports the dis
covery of two curious varieties of tea on
the western frontier OF China In the
monasteries of Mount Omi (or Ngomi)
he was given an infusion of tea which is
naturally sweet, tasting like coarse con-
gon with plentiful addition of brown
sugar. 1t is only grown by the monks
on the slopes of the mountain, and two
days travel further west its existence is
unknown. The other variety, odd as it
may appear, has the natural favor OF
milk. or perhaps, more exactly of but
ter. What is most interesting is the
fact that i. is wild tea, growing in its
native elevated habitat, without cultivs-
ton.
This wild tea is found in the unin-
habtated wilderness west of kiating
and south Of Yachow, at nights of 5000
feet and upward, and is a leafy shrub
fifteen feet high, with stem four inches
thick. Every part of the plant except
the root, is used for making the infusion.
The wood is chopped up and put into a
kettle OF water with the dried leaves and
twigs, and being boiled yields a strongly
oolored but weak tea, possessing a but
terry flavor, which gives it some resem-
blance to the Thibetan preparation.

Boston proudly. points Ito gain of
7l,066 in her population in ten years.
This gain was partly affected by annex
ing Roxbury, Dorchester, Charlestown,
and one or two other large suburbs If
Norristcwn had thought in time to have
annexed Conshohocken, Pottstown, Phil
adelphia, Doylessown and two or three
other towns adjacent, she could have
proudly pointed to a gain of nearly one
million in her population since 1870.
