Lord Mayor.

The only person in England who
enjoys, merely by right of Office, the
style of Fright Honorable" is the Lord
Mayor of London. There are two other
Lords Mayor-Cork and York-and up
to the close of the last century the wives
of ex- Mayors of York retained for life, by
old usage, the title of Lady" The
Chief Magistrates of Edinburg and Glas-
Cow are also styled Lords Provost.
Mayorality in Great Britain and Ireland
is only for year, but the holder is
eligible for reelection at the expiration
of the term, and in London, as elsewhere,
the office has oftentimes been held by
the same man twice In London, for a
long time past the Lord Mayor has been
selected by those engaged in commercial
pursuits, but in Dublin professional men
have often within few years been elect
ed. Thus the Hon. Mr.. Verecxer, son
of Lord Gort, was a lawyer The present
holder of the Office is a newspaper pro-
prietor, and then there was the great
O'Connell himself, also lawyer. Neither
in London or Dublin does the office now
adays confer any social distinction, but
in the former, especially, Lord Mayor
Is In many ways very important person,
more especially where the initiation of
meetings for public objects is concerned.
Half the battle may be considered gained
If he will consent to hold the meeting In
the Mansion House.

This affection occurs more particularly
in the tropics, but is occasionally OBJ
served, in hot weather, III the temperate
zone, in persons who are exposed to the
direct rays of the sun, and who have ut
the same time to undergo exertion. It's,
therefore, chiefly seen in soldiers march
ing during the heat of the day, or i'll ag
ricultural laborers who are atwork in the
fields; yet it has been known to come at
night, III persons sleeping i'll the pesti-
lential atmosphere of over-crowded and
badly ventilated barracks or cabins, and
in children shut upin sitting bedroom
after having been exposed to great heat
during the day. 1t would, therefore,

stroke, for the disorder really consists of
great and sudden rise of temperature
of the blood, which, i'll this state, acts as
u poison on the medulla. The perspira.
ton of the skin is suddenly arrested, and
as the evaporation of sweat on the sur
face of the body is intended to produce
cold, and thus TO neutraliZc the effects OF
the external heat, the closure of this
safety-valve causes further rise of tenn
peratllre, which paralyzes some or most

kind of heat-stroke is that in which the

cases so rapid that there is no chance for

Importance, viz, ice and plenty of cold
water, are usually not at once at hand.
The second kind of sunstroke is owing to
| paralysis of the center Of the blood YES
sells in the medulla, whereby apoplexy is
caused. The illness begins with mental
distlrbance-there are decisions and hal
lucinations, followed by mania, and the
patient may commit suicide or homicide.
This stage of excitement lasts for short
time, and is succeeded by a period of de-
preston. The patient becomes sleepy,
insensible, and may die in state of pro-
found apoplexy. Life is, however, often
saved 10y drenching the body with cold
water, and applying ice to the head.
The over-heated blood is thereby cooled,
and the mcdulla reused from its torpid
condition. DR.. JuIiuS ALthOuse, IN the

The automaton / shall now describe
is a huge carbuncle, i'll form and appear
ance Just like an ordinary date, such as
any one would handle and attempt to eat
without suspecting deception. 1t was
owned and exhibited by Hindoo VEN
triloquist, who was also juggler, and
he called his carbuncle the speaking
date" Whenever he spoke to it, the
answer came promptly and appropriately,
as it seemed, from the very heart of the
date, which lay Oh table several feet
from the exhibitor.
1t was not always, however, an ODE
dent servant, for sometimes, when the
master gave an order, the date argued
the point, making objections, offering
excuses, and finally yielding, as it were,
under protest.
1t would complain that it was "sleepy,"
or tired of doing the same thing over
and over" or 4" the people were not pay
ing attention" But all this only enhanced
the interest of the occasion; and when,
mt last, the rebellious little thing conclud-
ed to do as it was hidden, the audience
was in ecstacies.
A tree was made to grow, in our pres
ence, putting forth its long, pointed
leaves, then the dainty blooms and finally
a clump of luscious fruit But of this
we are not invited to partake, for it dis
appeared suddenly, and only the single
little golden brown date we had seen at
the first remained. This was, of course,
only a specimen of the slight-of- hand
tricks that Hindoo jugglers know so
well how to perform, while the apparent
speaking of the date was the result Of
ventriloquism-the iuggler being able to
make his voice sound us if it had come
from where the date lay, and so induced
the audience to think that the voice came
out of the fruit-like carbuncle itself
But after this the stonejumped, walked,
ran, and finally, with head and wings
suddenly attached flew across the stage,
and alighted between the conjurer's join
ed hands This was accomplished by
means of machinery s&roitly hidden be-
tween the carbuncle and the golden
tripod upon which it lay Curious and
startling as were the movements, they
we're wonders of mechanism, and of
course had nothing to do with the super
natural powers, such as the ventriloquist
pretended to possess. an Indian
letter.

Americas First Locomotive.

After the trial trip the engine was at
tached to trains of coal cars and handled
them satisfactorily on the docks. But
while the locomotive was success as q
locomotive, the railroad was of too slight
construction to enable it to be used The
expense of adapting it to the weight of
the locomotive being too great to be con-
sidered for moment at that early day,
and in the straitened financial condition
of the company, the "Stourbridge Lion"
was placed in a shanty on the dock,
where it lay for years, prey to neglect
and decay. It's boiler was finally taken
to Carbondale, where it has been in con-
slant use in foundry ever since, and is
good to-day. The pump was taken by
boss on the coal docks-who after
wards became Judge John Kelly, one of
Honesdale's best and most prominent
citizens, dying a short time ago and
was used by him long time, being
finally carried away in freshet in the
Lackawaxen. The rest of the machine,
with the exception of one or two small
parts now in existence as relics, was
broken up and sold for old iron-treat-
ment that was little better than sacrilege.
The other two locomotives shared the
same fate, one being brought to Homes
dale and the other being disposed of at
Rondout.
John b. Jervis, who ordered the first
locomotive in America to be made, and
Horatio Allen, who saw the order carried
out and who ran the pioneer locomotive,
are both living yet, the one at Rome,
N. Y, over four score years old, and the
other at East Orange, N. j., over 20
years of age. Their names are identified
with the greatest engineering triumphso of
this country, among them the Croton
Aqueduct. The original railroad is still
operated in connection with the canal,
and is one of the most popular summer
excursion routes in the United States,
rivaling the famous "Switchback of
Mauch Chunk, than which its attractions
are more varied and extended Although
the canal company now controls some of
the most important railroads in the
country, its link of mine road and the
canal it feeds is still its greatest and most

Formation of Snow.

Snow is formed from vapor, and vapor
is formed by heat; and it has been
calculated that the heat expended in
forming single pound of vapor would
melt no less than five pounds of cast
iron. Nor is this all. Equally great il
not greater is the force necessary to
transform the vapor into snow. Prof.
Tyndall says:
81 have seen the wild stone avalanches
of the Alps, which smoke and thunder
down the declivities with vehemence
almost sufficient to stun the observer.
L have also seen snowfiakes descending
so softly as not to hurt the fragile spangles
OF which they are composed; yet to pro-
duce, from aqueous vapor, a quantity
which a child could carry of that tender
material, demands an exertion of energy
competent to gather up the shattered
blocks of the largest stone avalanche 1
have ever seen, and pitch them to twice
the height from which they fell"

England in the middle of 1878 was

is fourth, Austria coming first with 1873,

How the Indian Pupils Think.

Nothing can be more instructive to n
teacher than to sit in one of the rooms
at Hampton, Va, and watch the move
ment of mind in the Indian children
there being taught. They all think
aloud, and go over the repetitions of
every new fact in wolds, as children ac-
customed to civilized discipline do in
their thought. Whatever may come to
the Indians themselves rs the result of
this new experiment in education, the
work will pay for itself in the light shed
upon some OF the most interesting points
of primary education. Could the asso-
citation of great Boston pedagogues who
are graphing with the conundrum "How
much does five-year-old child know"
sit out week in one of these Indian
school-rooms at Hampton, new light
might break in from unexpected points
