SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

= From the result of NJ. Roudarie's
recent survey, as reported by him
to the French academy Of sciences,
1t is generally believed that an in
land sea NAV be created, 2j0 miles
in length, without serious diff
Guilty.
The practice at kindergarten
schools Of braiding bright colored
bands Of paper, sewing fine silk
upon traeingS. and the picking Of
holes over d tracing on paper, has
become - noticeable injurious to
the eyesight Of children IN most
instances that the occupation is
being abandoned in MANY schools
and employment Of other kinds
substautiated.
Since shoFt-sightednesS i almost
alway, caused by strains sustained
by the eye during study in early
youth, aud since the malady Is be-
coming Increasingly prevalent in
this country, there should certainly
be- some steps taken ia abate its
continuance. Affection of the
eye Is seldom found among pupils
of village schools, while ia high
schools aud colleges, where the
demand made upon the eye is
necessarily much greater, its fire.
lquency is increased. As a partial
remedy, an improved typography !
of text books, a sufficient lighting
Of class ROOMS. and above all an |
abatement Of the modern practice |
Of .'cramming," are suggested.
Under the direction of the vi |
emma Geographical society, an i'm
Iportant Austrian expedition |
under the leadership Of DIR. Emil
Holub. will shortly be undertaken. |
4 correspondent states that DIR. !
Holub intends crossing the whole |
length Of Africa from south to !
north. He will start from the cape
Of Good Hope, and penetrate to
the Iamsesi, thence explore the
Manithemambunda territory, the
watershed district between the
Iambesi and the Congo, and from
there visit the like sources of the |
Congo, and then through Darfur,
he will endeavor To reach Egypt. |
The journey Is expected to extend |
over three years, and if good luck |
attends the parties in their hazar-
dous journey, a most interesting
report NAV be expected on their
return.
Scientists vary much in their
belief regarding the probable hight |
Of the earth's atmosphere. Not
many years ago the general idea
placed it at less than one hun lred |
miles. Seine investigators have
reached as far as two hundred and |
FIFTY miles, but now comes Pro-
fessor NJ. Landeur, after several
years Of study and investigation,
who places the distance at not less
than $4,000. In confederation of
his calculations, he shows some
what conclusively that the hight at
which meteOric matter becomes
lncandescent on approaching the
earth IS far beyond the distance
heretofore assigned 10 IL, and
therefore there must be an atmos-
phere at that great distance to
produce the incandescence. His
thesry IS also strengthened by the
belief Of other eminent scientists
who attribute the accelerated
movement and the revolving of
the moon around the earth to the
Influence of this extended belt of
atmosphere. Otherwise, these gen
tlemen claim that the moon would
revolVe as do other planets around
the sun.

and never defines himself as being any.

will enter the caucus Of neither party, and

THE IROA BUlIHEss IN VIRGINIA.
PFiss ;Oi pig lIFOa Is: Compared VIII
PiIInbuRRh. 80

.PitIsbuPGh.
Co. John g. Stevens, Of New Jersey, in
his report on the Richmond 4 Allegheny
Railroad, set forth the advantages exist
ing in the valley Of James river for the
manufacture oil iron and the cost OF iron
making. He described the iron belt and
the character Of the ores, extending from
distance OF one hundred miles above
Richmond almost continuously to VIII
Hanson. He estimates the coat Of making
one ton OF iron ct three different points
along the belt. At Riyerville he putsit at
.SlS 81, at Lynchburg SIS 46. and below
williamson at $ll IS; while from the best
information he could obtain he places the
cost Of making iron ON the Lshigh, schuyl.
kill, and ct Pittsburgh, at SIC 90, $40 so and
SCI so per ton, respectively. At an average
Of $50 per ton, the cost Of manufacture
at the latter points would therefore be
81 so per ton more than on the James
river. He adds: "This large difference
in the cost OF production between Penn
sylyania and Virginia will Of course turn
the attention Of the iron mAsiers OIL the
former State to the latter; and It Is very
possible that large part OF the increased
production needed annually will be sup
piled hereafter from points In the vicinity
Of James river" OF course this opinion
relates not 80 much to the present as to
the near future. But the success Of the
iron masters in Wyths county, where
there are fourteen furnaces, now In blast
or coon to be put in operation, which It 10
estimated will turn out from twenty 10
thirty thousand tons Of iron during the
present year Of market value at present
prices oil more than o million oil dollars,
will tend to encourage Others. 10 enter upon
the manufacture Of iron on larger sCale
and backed by . more ample capital.
