Associated Charities.

Attention is especially called to the advertise
ment of the Associated Charities who request
our citizens to send to the secretary the names
of every person applying to them for relief
By SO doing, the person applying, whether
worthy or unworthy, will be really benefited
as, if worthy, their worthiness will be vouc1ed
for by the Society and If unworthy means will
be taken to prevent them from continuing a
life OF fraud and deceit. The information at
tanned is used for the benefit of the poor as
much as for the benefit of the charitable
societies and the public. Let our citizens
avoid in all cases giving to street beggars, as
by giving without knowledge they but en-
courage in nearly all cases ideness and foster
the growth of pauperism. Learn through the
Associated Charities wdat the real need is and
then apply the proper remedy which in more
cases than people are aware of is not money.
The society will carefully and iudiciously
through charitable persons, investigate each
case sent them, and report the case to the per-
son sending and to the other charitable
societies of the city, and if the person whose
name is sent is worthy, it will certainly be inn
portant that the fact should be known by
those best able TO render aid.

Society of Natural History

Prof. Carmichael's lecture on sympathetic
vibration called out large and appreciative
audience. We are able to give only the briefest
abstract this morning.
If two pendulums of equal length are sus-
pended from flexible frame, the motion of
one will sooner or later be communicated to
the other; and this furnishes key to under
standing all sympathetic vibration, which for
mulated, is
1. Any vibrating body tends to vibrate any
other body capable of vibrating in the same
time which may have an elastic connection
with it.
2. What the second gains or absorbs is lost
by the first.
The difference between wave motion and
the flow of material was pointed out
A small music box was found capable of set
ting in vibration large bodies.
Several beautiful experiments were shown
illustrating the sympathetic vibration of the
strings of stringed instruments.
Columns of liquids also vibrate and all things
have their key note and yibrate when it is
struck.
Tha following were proposed for member

f. Shepley, Lindley W. Webb, George F..

The N. NJ. Havan.

a dispatch from Boston last night, says the
bark n. NJ. Haven was seen and spoken by
Boston pilot boat off Cape Cod Dec. 10th. 1t
Is now thought that she is the bark that was in
collision with the schooner Hatfield off Thatch-
ers Island the same night, and that both
schooner and bark sank. The schooner's crew
six in number landed safely Sunday afternoon
at Race Point, were kindly cared for by the
light keeper and taken to life saving station,
No. 6.
The owners of the bark here do not give up
hope. They think the bark seen without sails
may have been the Haven, and that she was
blown out of her course and will require strong
south winds to reach port
