The Velocity Of Ice.E0ats.

Some time ago the question whether
or not an ice-boat would go faster than
the wind which propelled it was dis
cussed in the columns Of the press, and
for time it divided attention with the
momentous problem, "Does the top of a
wheel go faster than the bottom|
Somebody wrote to the New York
Evening Post about the ice-yachts, and
as the staid old Post never goes yacht
ing, either on ice or water, it referred
the matter to Prof. LOOMS. of Yale,
and President Barnard, of Columbia.
These grave gentlemen, of course, did
not practically indulge in any such lev
ity as skimming over the ice, but they
are noted mathematicians, 81 they IN
dertook to figure it out, and the result
was a very fguratiye answer. They
both agreed that the ice-boats couldnot
go faster than the wind. The Scientific
american here dipped i'll its oar, and
thus remarked: @In thus putting them
selves squarely on record in opposition
to fact of common experience in ice
boat sailing, these learned gentlemen
furnish one more instance to the long
list of mistakes by eminent scholars,
who have declared results to be impos-
sible after they have been practically
achieved" 1t then showed plainly how
the yacht could exceed the speed OF
the wind, and the learned professors at
once came down and acknowledged
themselves mistaken.

Health OF Horses,

The health and comfort of horses have
of late years been greatly improved by
the better construction of stables. They
are made more roonay and lofty, and
provided with means of thorough ven
tilation. In many new stables lofts are
done away with, or the floor of the lofts
is kept well above the horses heads, and
ample shafts are introduced to convey
away foul air. By perforated bricks
and gratings under the managers and
elsewhere round the walls, and also by
bay windows and ventilators, abundance
of pure air is secured for the horses
while, being introduced in moderate
amount and from various directions, it
comes in without draught. Too much
draught is almost an unknown stable
luxury. To secure constant supply of
pure air, horses require more cubic
space than they generally enjoy. Even
when animals are stabbed only at night,
a minimum of 1000 cubic feet should
be allowed. In England, the newer
cavalry barracks give a minimum of
1900 feet, with ground area of fully
ninety square feet per horse, and the
best hunting and carriage horses have
more room.-Jo1IT7aal of CHEMISTRY.

6 KnOTledge Is POVer.v

Some time since lady asked us the
origin of the phrase Knowledge is
power" and we replied by mail that it
was attributed to Lord Bacon. She
now replies by an extract from Bulwer's
"My Novel" in which the expression is
quoted, accompanied by statement
that no such sentence is to be found in
all Lord Bacon's works. We saw Bull
wer's statement when the novel ap-
peared in Hnper's Magazine, and
smiled complacently over our own SUI
perior knowledge, as we had traced the
quotation to the treatise of Bacon on
sects and opinions (de Hgresais), where
it occurs in parenthesis, and reads,
mann etrosa scientd pOtestGs est" Bull
wer and others naturally looked for the
thought in Bacon's Advancement OF
Learning" and, not finding anything
like it there, gave up the search. In
the connection, Bacon is describing a
sect which held peculiar views on the
subject Of predestination. He says that
they give wider limits to the knowledge
than to the power of God Gmplying
that He may foreknow acts without nee
essarily preordaining them), Or, rather,
they restrict His power of doing more
than His power Of knowing, for knowl-
edge itself is a power" This does not
mean that knowledge confers power,
but that the capacity to know may be
termed power.-Neao York Journal

A "Guardian Angel"

There is not Paris vintner with a

silver and copper without remembering

throat, customer grows limp and so
imaginative as to see streets, houses and
lamp-posts dancing grand galop in
fernal expressly to prevent him from
walking home, the guardian angel then
makes his appearance, rifles his wet
countryman's pockets, draws the weak
arm in his, walks the brainless fellow
home, gives his wife all the contents OF
the pockets, and carries away her bless

STORIES FOR CHILDREN.
An Odd Nest,

An Odd Nest.
In the town of Monongahela, which
is in The State of Pennsylvania, there
lives man named Mr.. Joseph 81. Her
ron. Some time ago Mr.. Heron bought
one of those penhandles called the tele-
scope, or hollow handle. The handle
was made of tin, and little girl could
put her little finger in the hollow, so
big around was it. But Mr.. Heron
never used that pen except when he
would write with red ink, and that was
not more than once week. The other
day when he picked it up to use it out
flew wasp-ike insect, known as the
yellow-jacket. This insect is smaller
than the bee, and has yellow stripes all
over its body-a very fashionable dress
among insects. no doubt. Mr.. Heron
put the pen down and watched. By
and-by back came Mr.. Yellow Jacket,
and, looking around to see that every
thing was right, crawled into the hol
low. After watching for long while,
MIR. Heron saw that Mr.. Yellow Jacket
and his wife had built their nest inside
the penholder and were raising family
of little yellow-jackets, too. Mr.. Y. J.
would fly out and soon return with
grain of sugar or some such food, and
Mrs. Y. J. would almost always meet
him as the door. Mr. Heron took up
the pen and wrote with it, and the
"scratch, scratch" did not suit the fami-
ly, but when he laid it aside again they
busted themselves with the little Y. is.

Australian Marriages.

In Australia, as elsewhere, tie of
more or less permanence and acknowl-
edged validity binds men to their part
tomary right of swapping away the
young women Of the group in exchange
for other young women whom it is law
full for him to marry. It is clear that
old men with families have the best
chance of getting more wives, while
young men with no sisters are likely to
remain bachelors. If this system
worked itself out, each tribe would
consist of few overgrown harems and
set of wild bachelors. As it happens,
young men and women revolt against
the old, and voluntary Opponents or
marriages by capture are common. The
course of true love runs anything bat
smooth. The. lover is exposed to the
"ordeal of spears" which are hurled at
him by the relatives of the Lady. The

Effect of Music Oh Animals.

It is certain that the songs of birds,
as well as mos other forms of musical
sounds, have al their express object the
charming of fe male ears. It is fairly
certain, too, that the presence of
quasi-melodic clement in many of the
animal cries, e. 6. the neighing of the
horse, is to be accounted for by its being
pleasurable to the ears OF the particu-
lar animals companions. One may
even suppose that in many sounds, as
the Growing of the cock, the individual
that utters the music enjoys the result
of its own performances. The question
naturally arises whether sensibility to
the pleasurable character of musical
sounds is not much more widely diff
fused among animals than would appear
from the quantity of music which they
produce. The fact that birds, when
confined, are excited and stimulated to
song by the sound Of other birds or
other musical sounds seems to point to
the presence of O wide and catholic
musical sensibiity. The many stories
of the wonderful effects Of music in
tanning wild animals, if there is any
truth in them, would appear to show
that species which are incapable of ut
tering anything like musical sounds
are endowed with the corresponding
sensibility. It is a well-attested fact,
we believe, that the dolphin follows
ship in which music is performed.
Brehm says that the horse is delighted
with the note of trumpet. And, &C
cording to the same authority, even the
dog, which is apparently tormented by
the notes of a soprano voice, remains
undisturbed by those Of a bass voice.

Not laugh was heard, nor joyous note,
As our friend to the bridal we hurried;
Not wit discharged his farewell joke,
As the bachelor went to be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning:
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps dim
light,
To think him not more discerning.
To think that bachelor, free and bright,
And shy of the sex as we found him,
Should there at the altar. at deal Of night,
Be caught in the snares that bIund him.
Few and short were the words v'o said,
Though of cake and wine par king;
We escorted him home from tn scene OF dread,
While his knees were awfully ahaktng.
Slowly and sadly we marched l. n adown
From the top TO the lowermo story;
And we have never heard from aor seen the poor
Whom we left alone in his 81 J.

In my heart till l felt wild.

W murmured at my lot
That the business men trowned on me,
Looking words they dare speak not.
Seemed to me that when creation
Feigned to form man like me,
Some mistake was made about it
That the devil laughed in glee.
Their requirements were too menlal
For man like me-" they said
Patronizingly they said it,
While my face flushed deep with red,
As told them that " compulsion
Fitted man for any fate"
Then 1.-The price was deserving
Far surpassed their usual rate.n
Then vowed to don my old clothes
Thrust my silk hat in the fire,
Buy wood-saw, ak and shovel,
And solicit for such hire.
But your vacant look unnerved me
And said, "I'll try again
For place-yet far more shaving

I did try, my wife. my treasure;
But to-day met man,
With heart and soul of justice,
Aping not the general clan.
This it was he spoke unto me,
From his mouth. not from his eyes
Hark you, wife! "Your late employer
Dares to utter willful lies"
You are trembling now-be calm, wife
Though the charge is base and dark,
It will vanish through the clearing
From my good name, as lark
Vanishes through the distant ether,
When Photographic view
But remains upon the vision
OF the tracings where it flew.
Oh. my God to thus be branded
Thief-thief: 1t cannot be!
Yet-this good friend vouches for it
Truth it was he spoke to me.
Must my pride face this foul insult
To my manhood's better part
I, who ever held as sacred,
Next to God. an honest heart!
How dare men scandal each other,
When the Maker knoweth all?
Well l know dare not do it,
Lest myself receive a fall;
Black and damning was the spirit
LOosing thus his singing tongue,
For the hurt in firing missiles
Is the fiame-spread where they're flung.
