however great, If the temperature dur
ing the experiment be maintained above
certain point, which differs for each
gas, and is known as the point of actual
temperature. In the same way, it
seems that solid can not be melted
into liquid by a considerable applica-
ton of heat, if the pressure of the vapor
evolved be kept below certain amount
DR.. Carnelly has illustrated this in the
cases of ice and corrosive sublimate, and
similar results could doubtless be OBJ
tanned with other solids Our readers
will be interested in the following ac-
count Of his experiments with lee, which
we take from our London contemporary,
Design and Work saisaa = 40.
A large bottle, holding about pint
and a quarter, is fitted with cap, and
through this is passed a wide glass tube.
The glass and tube are filled with mer-
curry, certain precautions being taken to
obtain sound joints and exclude air, and
they are then inverted over mercury con-
tanned in trough. The mercury runs
out of the flask and upper part of the
tube, and the lower part of the tube re-
mains filled with a column of mercury
equal in height to the barometer. The
whole system, therefore, is equivalent to
a barometer tube with large bulb in
the upper vacuous part. Inside
the glass flask and tube thus ex-
hausted thermometer is previously
arranged, and after the vacuum
is established small quantity of water,
previously boiled to deprive it of air, is
passed up the tube. The flask is now
surrounded by a mixture of ice and salt
These materials, when mixed, produce
an intense degree of cold and cause the
flask to act as a powerful condenser of
any vapor that may be caused to rise
from the water from the vacuous por-
ton of the tube above the mercury. If
the condensation be sufficiently good
the vapor is absorbed as quickly as it
can be formed, even when the water is
heated by Bunsen burner, and the
water passes into the solid state and can
not be liquefied, even although the tube
in contact with it is made sufficiently hot
to burn the hand.
In these experiments the thermometer
has repeatedly been observed to rise to
a higher temperature than that of boil
ing water when imbedded in the ice, the
tension of vapor inside the apparatus
being always below 4.6 millimetres of
mercury. But'as it was suggested that
possibly the temperature as registered
by the thermometer was not the same
as the temperature of the ice itself, al
though it is difficult to conceive how this
could be, DR.. Carnelly has, taken the
precaution to drop some of the hot ice
.x,%o Il I, Al 4
perature of the water to be thereby
raised instead of being lowered consid-
erably, as would be the case with ordi-
nary ice. This experiment, which we
understand was undertaken at the sug-
gestion of Prof. Roscoe, conclusively
proves not only that the ice is hot, but
that it is hotter than boiling water, for
in the experiments detailed by DR.. Car
nelly it must have existed at 122 deg. c..

The "Hair-Cut" Indians of Arizona.

The load that an Indian woman will
carry on her head is surprising. She is
aided by netting, fastened to two sticks,
which cross each other near their ends,
in the shape of a V, leaving the upper
portion projecting about three feet
above the netting, and the lower long
enough to make a ground rest, so that
when she sits down on her heels strap
fastened to the V will reach and pass
over the forehead. When she straight
ems up the load is lifted, rests on the
head and is steadied by the shoulders. An
Indian woman packing a load of hay
presents a queer spectacle. The length
of the sticks above the V enable her to
tie on an immense load, which entirely
hides her from view, and gives the
appearance of q good-sized haycoek
travelling of its own accord, the only
motive power visible being pair OF
naked legs, an average load being 200
pounds, which they will carry with APP
parent ease ten miles day. Many Of
the Indians work as miners in the dry
placer diggings and earn good wages.
Some of them have small farms, and
Woduce clean and fine sample OF
wheat, which commands the highest
price in the market, These &c haircut
Indians, trained by the ancient padres,
have a knowledge Of the sacredness Of
marriage, and are very strict in. Their
management of the women. 1t is said
the woman who violates her marriage
vow is punished with death. This is ii
strange contrast to the other tribes, who
do not appear to know what virtue
means.---SGn francisco Chronicle. M.

The reeklessness with which some
persons, when sick, swallow anything
that anyone sees fit to recommend as
likely TO benefit them, has been illus.
trated afresh by three grown Yankees OF

South Hadley, in the State of Massachu-

ruralist brought them some stuff in q

for license at the corner of Orchard and Charles streets, the Board voted to withhold the license for the present because case was still pending before the Superior Court. This case may be heard hereafter. The license of James Conboy, No. 2 Frank street, was refused because he had on one occasion kept open after 12 o'clock midnight. The grounds of rejection were that the ac- cused had made a false statement in court, or
 in other words had perjured himself. The commissioners will meet again to-day for the purpose of granting licenses.

ADangerous Game.


 sharper is on his way up the Hudson witha the ttninety-five cent game" His method of doing business is to enter store and ask for five cents worth of some article; on receiving it he tenders two dollar bill in payment; the change given him by the store keeper generally consisting of a dollar bill or silver piece, and ninety-fve cents in small coin. He places the dollar in his pocket, and, suddenly finding a five cent piece in that re- ceptacle, apologies for making trouble in getting the bill changed, and placing five cents on the ninety five cents, pushes it to- wards the storekeeper, asking for 8 dollar bill, saying he dislikes to carry so much sill yer upon the unsuspecting storekeeper plac- ing dollar on the counter, the sharper en- gages him in talking until he can place both 1 the change and bill together, when he coolly asks the victim to exchange the two dollars on the counter for the two dollar bill he had originally given him. Strange as it may seem, in very many instances the bill is re- turned and the sharper departs just ninety five cents better of than when he entered the store.

An Arctic signal Service station.

lCOrreSpOnQ0nc0 or the Ean fEanc1scO bul1SJ1AJ
 Entering the harbor, we discovered the schooner Golden Fleece lying at anchor, and shortly afterWard a party from her came aboard the Corwin, which proved to be Lieutenant Ray and his company of signal service officers on their way to establish a Station at Point Barrow-10 persons in all MT. Ray seems to be the right man for the place. He hopes to be able to get his build ings up and everything put in order before the coming onsRf winter, making 8 home in that stern wilderness for three years. Point Barrow is a low barren spit putting out into the icy ocean, and, before the discovery of Wrangel land, the northmost point of the territory of the United States. For many years it was believed to be the north extreme of the American continent. but the extreme point of the peninsula of Boothia proves to be few miles farther north than this. At first sight it would seem gloomy time to look forward to-three years in so remote and so severely desolate and forbidding 8 region, generally regarded as the topmost frost-killed end of creation. But amid all the disadvantages of position these men have much in their lot that they might well be envied by people dwelling in softer eli. mates. There is the freshness of their field of research in natural history, the immense number of summer birds that visit this region | to mott and rear their young the fine oppor' l tunities they will have to study the habits o1
 
 cent polar bear among the ice-the master ! animal of the north. Then there is the | chance they will have to study the little l known western Esquimaux, of which there is a village on the point numbering about POO persons. Advantage, too, am told, will bt taken of the opportunity offered to explore l the Colville and Inland rivers, sboth of then large streams, the one flowing into the ocear about 13O miles to the east of Point Barrow l the other into BehEing sea througl Hotham inlet and Kotzebue sound. The. are almost entirely unexplored Some o their upper branches must approach eacl other, as the Esquimaux ascend the Colvill and, making portage, descend the 1nlan' | river to Hotham inlet every year to trade, O at the portage meet natives from the othe river and trade there. The exploration o these rivers is very interesting piece Q work, and MT. Ray tells me that he intend making an effort to accomplish it at the earli est opportunity. Furthermore, in the wa
 of new discoveries he is ambitious to achiev something out in the Polar ocean to tn | uorthWard of his station.
