Scientific Miscellany.

In a new electric battery, one of the
elements is composed of sheet iron less
than the ten thousandth of an inch i'm
thickness.
The sources of petroleum are found
in almost every part Of the globe, and
the use of the article would seem well
nigh coeval with civilization. There
is spring in one of the Ionian islands
which has yielde1 petroleum more than
two thousand years. The city of
Genoa was formerly lighted by oil from
the wells of ArmeniS, on the banks of
the FARO. In Persia, also, near the
Caspian Sea ut Baku, numerous springs
of petroleum have been known from the
earliest time; and those of Rangoon, on
the Irawaddy, are said to have yielded,
before the general Introduction of pc
troleum, some 400 600 hogsheads of oil
a year.
According to DIR. Edward Smith, an
egg contains fifteen and one-fourth per
cent. of carbon and two per cent of
nitrogen. Another writer estimates
that the value of one pound of eggs, as
food for sustaining the active forces of
the body, is to the value of one pound
of lean beef as 1884 to 900. As a flesh
producer one pound Of eggs Is about
equal to one pound of beef.
In the South Kensington Museum is
Edison's original lamp with the carbon
loop. 1t is accompanied by certifi cate
from Mr.. Edison stating that it burned

According to an English patent, a
mixture of locust beans (Ceratonia sill

A A"proclamation" from DIR. Salvador
Vino, of Catania, announces that n
great revolution in the physical sciences
is at hand, for he will shortly demon
strate, by the most positive and incon-
testible evidence, that the essence of
heat, of light, of electricity, OF magne-
ii IN, and Of life, is-oXygen!
1t is stated that Mrs. Schliemann, the
wife of the great oriental explorer,
helps her husband in all his scientific
labors, experimenting excavations
under his direction regardless of ex-
posure to sun and dust.
Recent dredgings by NJ. Solicit in the
Sea of Galilee have shown that twelve
species of fish are contained therein, of
which the majority have the remark

Near Armsteg, on the line of the st.
Gothard railway, excavations for the
road have laid bare a so-called glacier
garden, containing a series of "giants'
Kettles" or large holes made in the
rock by hydraulic or glacier action.
One half of the garden lay across the
railway track and had TO be blasted
away, but the other half has been en-
closed by a wall aud will be carefully
preserved.

We combine business with pleasure in
wishing all our subscribers merry Christ
mas, and will tell them one way to helpus
both to have happy New Year. A very
general and prompt renewal of subscrip-
tions (and they are coming to Us every day.,
and move all along the line in an effort
to get new ones, will bring certain returns
in an improved paper, which our readers
must see we are aiming to make. We are
to have new type as soon as the type foun-
d.rs can supply it, and will do all in our
power to furnish home paper worthy OF
a generous patronage. We wish to COM
pensate any who may work for us, and offer
a set of Chambers Cyclopedia-ffteen
volumes-to any person bringing us fifteen
new subscribers, with the money, $1.5O
each, for 1881. This offer is designed to
be made to each of the townships in this
or adjoining counties, each club of fifteen
to be made up within the limits of single
township. Any one bringing US less
number of names from his township will
receive the volumes pro rata, and they will
be delivered at our Office as the names are
harted in with the money. We believe
the improvements we have made and shall
make entitle us to more liberal patronage
than we have ever yet had, and there is
nothing lacking to enable US to make
paper second to none published in any in
land town of the size of Wellington but q
liberal support by the people in this vici-
nifty. The offer we make leaves us no
profit ON the first years subscriptions that
we may receive, but the expectation OF
holding them for the coming years makes
us willing to furnish the paper temporarily
ut a loss, We can think of eight town
ships in each of which a good, live can
vasser could secure a club of fifteen with
very little effort, and in some of them two

Worth Remembering.

Now that good times are again upon
us, before Indulging in eXtravagant
show, it is worth remembering that no
one can enjoy the pleasant surroundings
if in bad health. There are hundreds
of miserable people going about to-day
with disordered stomach, liver or kid
neys, or a dry, hacking cough, and one
foot in the grave, when so ct. bottle
of Parker's Ginger Tonic would do them
more good than all the expensive doctors
and quack medicines they have ever
tried. 1t always makes the blood pure

What this nation needs more than all
else to know and feel, is that matter is
not the whole or the chief part of SUBJ
stance that We live already in super
natural worlo, and are to live in the
spirit when the flesh is done with that
the head of this supernatural world is
God in Christ; and that according to
his own eternal will, expressed in the
laws which govern us now and
hereafter, as well as in his word, God
will judge the quick and the dead. A
''barbario splendor," a sensuous and
faithless civilization, decorated and
hollow worldliness, a society which,
with its mouth full of meat and wine,
and jewels on its fingers, says only,
''Eat, drink, dress, dance. for o.morrow
shall be as this day; or If we die, We
die"-this Is the heresy, the horror, the
damnation that Amer lean Christians
have to confront, to fight, and, please
God, to overcome.-Rev. d. F. Hunting

Inshtatheamba.

A pleasant announcement made by
the Editors of st Nicholas is that they
have secured for their next number n
story of Indian life by Inshtatheamba
(Bright-eyes,) the daughter of an
Omaha chief, who has been travelling
through the States during the last two
years under the protection of two of
her kinsmen, trying to rouse the con-
science of the whites to the rights of her
race. Miss La Flesche (for that is her
English name) makes now, we believe,
her first essay as an author, but she
cannot but succeed If she gives as DRAM
attic pictures of the daily domestic life
of her people rs she has hitherto done
in her addresses. She has broad culture
and keen perceptive faculty, and sho has
given hers elf up to the cause of her
people with a simplicity and passionate
singleness of heart that mast rouse
sympathy in every man and woman
whose own instincts are true and
pure.-N. Y. Tribune.

will have an important announcement
next week. In the meantime we assure
our readers that his stock of dry goods and
clothing is complete in every particular.
These are some of our larger advertisers.
Then there are host of others who do not
occupy so much space in our columns, but
are equally careful of the interests and
comfort of their customers. Among these
is Harvey, whose store is always full of
first-class groceries and clothing, and
whose stock is specially suited to the Holi-
day trade; Bowlby & Hall, whose we'll
known steam grocery is well worthy of
liberal patronage; H. B. Hamlin, where
you can get an excellent quality of flour for
your holiday baking; Uncle Robinson,
who is daily receiving fresh oysters in can
and bulk, and can furnish anything good
to eat on short uotice; Otterbacher, just
the place to go and buy a new harness for
Christmas present for your poor old
horse, or good strong trunk as Christ
mas box for yourself to keep your good
clothes in; Cook s. Starr, on Courtland
Avenue, the place to have your winter
cloaks and dresses made; Mrs. A. II. Pal
mer's, the place to go for dressmaking and
millinery; A. Scott's, the place to buy dress
silks and winter hats, and Nine. Demorest's
patterns to make them up by; and, last OF
all, Houghton's Book and Drug Store,
where you can find any book you can think
of, and great many of which you never
heard-all instructive, interesting and pro-
fitable.
We had no idea, when we wrote the line
"Our Christmas Advertisements" that the
ENTERPRISE contained so large a number,
or that perusal of them would prove so
interesting; but we find we have not emu
merated all, and are forced to stop for
want of room. Our Business and Plea

believe that perusal of the advertisements

Hive, notwithstanding that they have put

coffees and spices and do up parcels, say
they are so busy they can't tell what they
have; but it will do your eyes good if you
go and see the bright array of beautiful
things which they offer in exchange for
your cash. H. G. Starr q Co. enumerate
q long list of articles, every one of them
beautiful and useful. Vischer has made
