The Number OF BotsA zeal Species.
DR.. Muller, Of Geneva, hss recently made
the following calculations as ~ the total
number of existing botanical specie we
haye at present described in our books o.. cut
10000 species and If we suppose that, in
round numbers, 10000 belong to countries
like Europe and North America, where there
are hardly any species, excepting some cryp-
togsmic ones, to be discovered, the remai1-
der. or 100000, representing exotic plants,
more or less tropical or southern, we may
double tho latter for new species. giving
200 900 for these lees known regions, and
altogether $50, 900 for the whole globe, with
the exception of countrics still quite unknown
botsnically. Adding only 10000 species for
the latter, we reach minimum sum Of $50.
600 species of plants.

THE NEW CHINESE TREATY.


The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune sends the follow
ing: 1t is stated on the best authority
that the new Chinese treaty. relating
to immigration into the United States,
comedies to the American government
b right to enact such legislation as it
may deem ~expedient and wise, either to
limit the laborers who may be admitted
in any specified period, or altogether to
prohibit their admission. 1t is not
probable that any legislation on this
subject will be attempted in the few re-
naming weeks of the present congress.
In a conversation with the orrespond-
emit, a high officer of the3 government,
who is familiar with the terms of the
new treaty, and with the Chinese ques-
tion, said that, in his opinion, the clam :
or against the admission Of Chinese is
likely o to cease, when it is fully I'M
derstood by the people that congress
can at anytime caus g a discontinuance
Of immigration from China. He said
when he was last in California, he
talk ed with a great many people on the
subject, and he found business men
generally agreed in the opining that
is 10 surplus labor in the Pacific
and that on the contrary many
more laborers are needed.

The free and Independent thought of

they are proven to be truth, while the
Development of mental power seems
equally great in every other department

day are counted by thousands. The in

The spirit of inquiry in all fields is SO
marked as to cause
COMMENT on EVERY SIDE,
while people seem investigating and
advancing in every direction which can
help them morally, mentally or physi-
cally. This is specially true of the hui
man body and everything which con-
Germs it, and the truths which the peo-
pie have found, ever in the last fifty
years, are simply marvellous. How re-
ally ignorant some cultured and suppo
seably scientific people were only a few
years ago, as compared with the pres

a few illustrative facts. A prominent

known that a pain in the back indicates
diseased kidneys, while troubles in the
