Look Into Your Cellars.

Those who live in nice houses and
have ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS p~arlors and
bedrooms in some instances never look
into the cellars beneath them. These
underground places are often the
sources of disease. Materials are care
lessly thrown into the cellars by
thoughtless servants and are left to de-
compose. Without ventilation, moist
ure may exist in the cellar to an extent
to injure the healthfulness of the whole
house. In farmers houses the cellar is
often the storehouse for all kinds of
vegetables, and when any of these are
in a decaying condition they affect the
atmosphere. Neglected cisterns be-
meath the basement floor may spread
malaria. In some instances portable
furnaces are placed in the cellar and all
the warm air which is distributed
through the house is really cellar air.
But when this is not the case the
ordinary furnace may produce In its
air-chamber a sufficient draught to take
in the poisonous gases of the cellar.
When there are no furnaces to take up
and distribute through a building the
injurious gases of the cellar they may,
nevertheless, be distributed not only
through open windows, cracks and
crevices, but sometimes, by their pene-
trating power, through the porosity of
floors and walls. In view of these facts
the cellar, as well as other portions of
the house, should be investigated by
intelligent heads now and then.-Dr.
Foote's Mouthlq,
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-01-22
The Velocity Of Ice.Roats.

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 a time it divided attention with the
momentous problem, docs the top of q
wheel go faster than the bottomf'
Somebody wrote to the New York
Eue7ting 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. Loomis, 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, SO they I'M
dertook to figure it out, and the result
was q very fgurative answer. They
both agreed that the ice-boats couldn
go faster than the wind. The Scientific
american here dipped in its oar, and
thus remarked: @In thus putting them
selves squarely on record In opposition
to a 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" It then showed plainly how
the yacht could exceed the speed o.
the wind, and the learned professors a
once came do Wn 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
r made more roomy 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 a 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 a ground area of fully
ninety square feet per horse, and the
best hunting and carriage horses have
more room.-Jour71Gl of Chemistry.

The Late Editor Of. the London Times.

John T. Delane, was for thirty-six years
the chief editor of the London Times
which he found a great newspaper, and
made the greatest journal in England.
Upto his day, the Times had been great
in its news. Some of its @beats" during
the N~apoleonic contests have never been
surpassed, and its fearless publication
of facts touching high personages led
to n or two of the greatest libel suits
in the history of English journalism.
Mr.. Delane, the nephew of the previous
financial manager of the paper, became
in 1S41 it's chief editor at "a years of
age, and he made the paper great in
two new particulars, with extraordinary
success for twenty years and more; it
reflected the sentiment of the English
ruling class, and twas served by a body
of men altogether superior in ability
and character to any previously en-
ployed on English papers. Delane
showed signal ability in choosing his
agents, and an almost cynical contempt
in the management of the paper for
consistency. The paper first went hope
IessIy wrong under him in its treatment
of the United States from 1861 on, and
he had a rough tumble in a newspaper
war with Richard Golden only a few
years later which sadly damaged elane
in popular estimation. The anonymous
secrecy of English journalism always
left in the dark Delane's real work in
making the Times what it was, but
he has generally had the credit OF being
the great master mind Of the enterprise.

Bob Ingersolps War Record.

Col. Ingerso1 raised a regiment of
cavalry and commanded it, and was as
signed to the Western Department. He
was in the battle of Shiloh, and several
other engagements. On one occasion
he was ordered to guard a ford, with
instructions to delayan advancing army
of the rebels just as long as possible in
order that our army might make certain
counter-movements. He held his posi-
ton as long as he could do it, but the
enemy came up in such overwhelming
force that he had no course left but to
give the order to retreat-every man as
best he could to ave himself. 1t was
devil take the hindmost. As Col. In
gerson was galloping away with his men
as fast as their horses could get over
the ground, his horse stumbled in a
lane and threw him. just as he fell
several balls struck the logs near him,
and, on looking up, he saw two or three
rebels raising their carbines at him.
With characteristic quickness and pres
ence of mind he shouted at the top of
his voice: Hold on therel Don't
make - fools of yourselvesi I've
been doing nothing else for the last
five minutes but wishing for a good
chance to recognize your ---
Confederacyl".
A Southern officer ordered the men
to stop, and they all laughed at the I'M
known Yankees impudence, and then
they took him prisoner.

Eject Of Music on Animals.

It is certain that the songs of birds,
as well as most other forms of musical
sounds, have as their express object the
charming of female ears. It is fairly
certain, too, that the presence of a
quasi-melodic element in many of the
animal cries, g. g. 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 a wide and catholic
musical ~sensibility. 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 a
ship in which music is performed.
Brehm says that the horse is delighted
with the note of a 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.

A ..Guardian AngeI.v

There is not a Paris winner with a
spark of ~self-respect under his waist
coat who has not at least one guardian
angel" in his employment. The aguard-
ian angel" is q cherub of placid temper,
in smock shirt, ears insensible to vitu-
peration, arms strong enough to parry
and support, honesty that car see gold,
silver and copper without remembering
hocus-pocus. When, by oft wetting his
throat, a customer grows limp and SO
imaginative as to see streets, houses and
l~amp-posts dancing a grand galop in
fernal expressly to prevent him from
walking home, the guardian angel then
makes his appearance, rifles his wet
c~ountryman'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
ing.-Scribner's Monthly.
