Great interest in the ceremony was man
Tested by the public. The number of people
who visited it must have amounted to many
thousands. The music was the Maltese and
Beethoven funeral hymn, the dead March in
Saul, and Flowers Of the Forest, and music
by the bagpipes at the cemetery. The coffin
was taken from the gun carriage, carried
shoulder high to the grave by six seamen,
who also lowered it. The chaplain to the

IN THE OLD CHURCH.TOWER.

In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;'
And above it on the vane,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Cut in gold St. Peter stands
With the keys in his two hands,
And all is we'll
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
You can hear it's great heart beat,
All! so loud, and mild, and sweet,
As the parson says his prayer
Over happy lovers there,
While all is we'll!
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell,
Deep and solemn. Hark! again,
All! what passion and what pain!
With her hands upon her breast,
Some poor soul has gone to rest
Where all is well!
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell
A quaint friend that seems to know
Ali our Joy and all our woe;
It is glad when we are we'd,
It is sad when we are dead,
And all is welL-IT. B. Aldrich.

Scientific Notes. .

Although he had examined over 100
hearts of children and grown-up people,
Dr.. Langier discovered blood vessels in the
heart valves in only one case, that of a wo-
man Of 60, in whom they were evidently
the result of a pathological process.
London expends more than $40, 500 900
annually in making it's smoky atmosphere.
Mr.. w. D. Scott Moncrief says that with
the plant just now in use in the gas facto-
ries he cannot only save that large amount,
but give far better fire and light than Lon
doners have now.
DR.. Comes, of the Naples Academy, finds
in his later researches that light favors the
Transportation of plants which attains its
maximum shortly after midday; that, other
things being equal, the organ transpires
most which is the most highly colored, and
that it emits most water when exposed to
serbs most light: and that only those lu-
minous rays, which are are absorbed favor
the Transportation of an organ.
Prof r. Falb, in one of his late lectures,
attributes earthquakes to subterranean vol
canic outbreaks, produced by the cooling
action Of the hot liquid interior of the earth
in conjunction with the attraction of the
sun and the moon. The Nature says that,
in support of his opinion, he cites the fact
"that most earthquakes occur when the
sun is nearest us, viz, in January; fewest
in June; also, that the number of earth
quakes increases in the months Of April and
October, because of the strong attraction of
the sun on March 81 and September 49,"
Earthquake shocks have been unusually
numerous Of late in all parts of Europe,
and scientists boldly affirm that they have
been steadily on the increase during the
past century. All kinds of hypothesis are
again being propounded to explain earth
quakes in general and this alleged increase
in their number in particular. DR.. Novak,
of Pesth, is the last learned man who has
entered the field, and he boldly says that
the earth has a multiplicity of motions
apart from its revolution around the sun
and it's rotation on it's own axis, and that
these other motions are shifting the equa-
tor and the pole, and that the earth's crust
is cracking in the effort to adapt itself to
the altered circumstances,

The Author Of Buried Alive.

Since publishing our recent notice of
the remarkable book, "Buried Alive, or
Ten Years of Penal Servitude in Siberia ~
(the original of which appears to have
been Notes from the Dead house ",
we have found in the Saturday Review
an article giving some interesting details
regarding the author, NJ. Fedor Dos
toevsky:
"In the year 1S49 a young Russian
literary man was condemned to be
hanged. His crime consisted in his
having taken part in what was styled
The Petrashevsky affair that is to say
he had been a member of one of the Sc
cret societies to which the government SO
strongly objected. His sentence was
committed, but he was sent to Siberia,
condemned to long period of hard la
Dor IN prison, to be followed by SER
vice in the ranks of the army. On foot
and In chains he made the dreary Jour-
ney to his far-off prison house, and
therein endured the miseries of penal
servltude during four years. This same
man has recently been carried to his
grave In the Alexander Nevsky cemetery
at st. Petersburg, escorted by deputa-
tons from the universities and other
learned institutions and followed by
crowds of mOurners who represented all
that is most cultured in Russia. Aud
the emperor who now rules that land
has conferred a pension of two thousand
roubles on the widow and children of the
man whom his predecessor kept during
four years In chains In Siberia.

In Canada, between Quebec and the
mouth of the st. Lawrence, the farm
houses are not scattered The farmers
live in one continuous street, their lands
extending back behind their dwellings,
Some of these streets are from sixty to a
hundred miles long. The one next to

barns extending i'll one unbroken line

would be to draw lofty mountain chain
from the Pyrenees across the heart of
France, Switzerland, Germany, and Rus
STA, as indicative of the watershed of
Europe. Such is the force of habit en-
gendered by the long use of faulty maps
that, though we knew what the true
structure of the country had been shown
to be, it was yet with feeling almost of
lncredulity that we looked out upon the
scene on either side of the railroad track
as the train approached the summit of
the route. The Colorado Alps had sunk
down into series OF low ridges, though
we could still see in the far distance
some of the more notable peaks. North
ward the tops of some distant hills in
Wyoming doomed up on the horizon, but
allaround us notOnly were there no noun
tains, but hardly anything that deserved
to be called hill-certainly nothing
that for moment suggested the crest
of mountain range. The railway
company, with laudable desire for the
diffusion of correct geographical know
ledge, has had board inscribed "Sum-
NIT of the Rocky Mountains, and placed
at the highest level of their line. One
looks round with feeling of disappoint-
ment for the peaks and crests that ought
to have been there. Instead of these,
there is the same long, smooth prairie
like slope, out of which rise numerous
quaint knobs OF pink granite The CEN
trail wedge, not having been driven so far
upward here, forms no CONSPICUOUS fea-
tllre at the surface. Yet it has carried up
the same red sandstOnes on its eastern
flank that rise in vertical bands among
the canons north of Denver. From the
plain of the Missouri, the prairie, there
about 1000 feet above sea-level, rises
slowly In elevation westward, till at
Cheyenne, distance of rather more
than 500 miles, its surface has an aver
age elevation of about 5000 feet. In
the next Is miles. however, it makes a
more rapid slope, for it mounts to an ele-
walton of S,27l feet above the sea. The
loss of the cherished delusion about the
aspect of the Rocky Mountains was in
some small measure compensated by
glimpse we had of the source whence the
prairies have derived their fine detritus
and the ants their favorite pink building
materials. The granite of this elevated
plateau is q bright flesh-colored rock,
crumbling into sand, the grains of which
are mainly of pink cleavable orthoclase
felspar. Exposed to all the vicissitudes
of weather at so great an altitude, the
rock readily disintegrates. Every show
er of rain washes down some of its detri-
tus, which is further carried far over the
plains by wind 1t was no doubt from
such a rock as this that the Widespread
felspar drift of the prairie had been de-
rived, and this very ridge had probably
furnished due amount of it.
