They were printed at Lexington by

They were preserved by Robert Gra-

INCREASE OF TEMPERATURE WITH
APTITUDE.

A phenomenon, which has attracted good
deal of attention from French meIeOrOlogists
lately, is the difference of temperature OF the
two stations of tho Puy-de- Dome Observatory,
the mountain station being often less cold than
that at ClermOnt, LOON. below. This differ
cncc was well marked last Winter; thus, in the
space Of two months ard half iitty-one nights
were less cold ut Puy-Gc- Dome than at Cler-
mont, the differences of minimum temperature
ranging from il to 1S degrees. 4 study Of the
circumstances has enabled Nj. Alluard to estab-
hsh this general rule: Whenever zone Of high
pressures covers Central Europe and especially
France, there is an inrerYersiOn Of the
temperature with the altitude. Naturally this
interveisiOn is more manifest at night, that
the presence of the sun above the horizon; but
il ai,o appears by day, though more rarely.
The differences between the stations are more
marked tie greater the plessures and the more
stable the condition Of the atmosphere. 1t Ic-
mains to be asccrtained how lar up this inter-
version of temperatures extends.

First, rubber cushions under the legs of the

bration and shock are prevented; and an Ordi-

rlacrd in dwelling houses, this device affords Il
cheap and simple relief from great annoyance.

A HINT FOR FRUIT DEALERS.

The London Magazine of Pharmacy, in lament
ing the bruised condition i'll which American
apples reach England, says there l. 40 reason
why this splendid fruit should not be imported
us fresh and blooming as when it is gathered
from the tree. And it gives these practical
hints "A common but soft kind Of tissue paper
should enyelOp each apple before it is placed
in the cask, and this tissue paper should have
been soaked in a solution Of sallcyllc acid and
dried before it is used. The best preparation
of salcylIc acid for this purpose is the alcoholic
solution, made with the, strongest spirit, and
then diluted with as much water as it will bear
without precipitating the acid, so as to make
the solution go as far as possible. Each apple
folds of this salicylated paper. and every pos
sib'e .precqutiCn should be taken, to prevent
bruising when loading into the casks or cases
Well packed apples should not move at all
during the voyage, and the shaking of a rail
way train should have little effect upon them.
Nevertheless, certain amount of confusion is
inevitable, and to avoid the Interior results of
this, the salicylatel paper is Indispensable As
to the cost, it would be mere tritle when we
consider the result gained, and the splendid
condition of the fruit when it enters the London

of the desert be less sought after; and even
the great pachyderms of India and Central
Africa can be spared to be- more usefully en-
plOyed in extending the march of commerce.
Under our enlightened civilization We can now
manufacture our own whalebOne, coral, tor
toise shell, ivory, and feathers, without the
or tropieal seas for our our supplies The extnc-
ton of whalebone in commerce will not deprive
us of our umbrellas, or the female sex of their
parasOls and corset busks. Rattans have been
converted into wallosin, and HON shaped into
pliable bones, while steel ribs also do duty
effectually for baleen.
In fact, be adds, there is no end to artificial
productions, and the list might be extended
indefinitely, including artificial ice, which rem

sugar, which we can make from starch or rags !
artificial fruit essences, artificial horn from sea-
weed artificial wood from compressed sawdust
or straw, artificial leather from old scraps or the
leather cloth, artificial parchment from paper
chemically treated, with sulphuIic acid, and as
hides for leather become more in demand, we
have come to utilize the formerly neglected
skins of the alligators, the snakes, the kanga,
rOOs, the pOrDOise and other sea mammals, and
fishes.

Nor squander i'll sighing the day.

METALLIC AND NON-METALLIC ACES.

Some time ago Herr Ecker proposed to divide
the prehistoric time into pIe-mctallic anda
metallic time, instead of the three periods of
stone, bronze, and non. His reasons were that
the earlier period was characterized rather by
the non use Of metal than by the Use of stone,
and that the phase metal period" leaves UNI
decided which Of the metals first came into use.
AS to how man came to use metals, he has
lately urged that it was accidentally through
observations in working stone The savage, for
example, found stone he hammered it in
order to chip it into shape; no pieces, however
broke off, but the stone gradually took, under
hammcrng, the desired form. This mallcable
stone Was solid copper. Thus i'll northern
North America, copper seems to have been the
metal which tiISt came into use. In another
place the sayages found that among the stones
which they used for freplaces some got red and
glowing with intense heat, and then could be
hammered in this state. This was the iron
bloom. II is probable that in Central Africa
iron was the metal which first came into use.
The experience that stones could also be fused,
or that TWO liquid kinds of stone Copper and
TIM furnish a still more liquid third (brOnze),
belongs evidently to o much later stage of de-
VelOpment.
