necessity required his presence
/ His clear perception Oh all points OF Masonic
Jurisprudence the close observance Of the laws
and tenets OF Free masonry as among the best
rules Of human conduct he applied unsparinsiy
to himself. and his exemplary life ana honofed

he soon learned to look upon this world rs the
result of the will of Our Div ne Architect for
the great and holy purposes known to Himself

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The fan is Of very ancient origin.
Tracing its history, the Journal d'Hy-
giene states that the papyrns was one of
the first plants used in making fans. In
ancient Greece, the first fans were made
OF branches of myrtle, acacia and
plane-tree. 1t was not until the fifth
century B. c., that the peacock was
known in Greece, and from this epoch
dates the use among Grecian ladies OF
the peacock's tail as new and elegant
kind Of fan. As the lawmakers art
extended, the use of feathers alone came
to be discarded, rs they were found too
pliable, and the idea was conceived of
placing between each pair of feathers
thin strip of wood. Fans are often
mentioned in Latin authors. Plantus
refers to the .Rabeluerrale or female
slaves, who carried parasols and fans to
shade and drive away flies from their
mistresses. Fans of peacock's feathers
remained in fashion through the mid
die ages up to the seventeenth century.
not only in Italy but in England and
France. Fans Of ostrich feathers came
into favor gradually, excluding those of
peacock feathers, and such fans appear
in Titian's pictures. Leaves of palm
trees, reeds and odoriferous woods are
among the substances Of which fans are
now made in foreign countries.
Herr Reulaux. a German writer, has
described an elevated wooded valley in
the Rhine Province, in which the pas
sage Of the wind produces musical tones
wonderfully like the Ginning of bells.
1t is seriously asserted by q French
scientist that the application OF mag
netic sand from the Isle of Bourbon
rapidly rcvives diseased plants.
According to Mr.. S. Peel, several va
rieties of ants possess the power OF
producing distinctly audible sounds
He has heard some Of these insects at a

TO ACCOMMODATE TIE PUBL1c.-The
rroprietors Of that immensely popular
remedy. Kidney Wort, in recognition OF
the claims of the public which has so
literally patronized them, have pre-
pared liqnid preparation of that rem
edy for the special accommodation of
those who from any reason dislike to
prepare it for themselves. 1t is very
concentrated. and, as the dose is small.
it is more easily taken by many. 1t has
the same effectual action in all diseases
of the kidneys, liver or bowels.-[ Home

The solar engine, invented by NJ.
Mouchot. has been so improved by NJ.
Pifre that eighty per cent OF The suns
heat is made available for use, while NJ.
Mouchot has never been able to utilize
more than fifty cent. This increase of
efficiency is due to change of tho form
of the reflectors and heaters. With a
receiver having surface of about one |
hundred square feet, under a clear sky,
NJ. Pifre boils twelve gallons Of water
in forty minutes.
The phenomenon Of phosphorcsceht
fresh meat has been observed in France.
Some outlets of raw pork shohe so
brightly in the dark that it was possible
by the aid of the light thus furnished to
tell the time by the watch. The meat
did not otherwise differ in appearance
or odor from common meat. The phoo-
phorescence disappeared on the sixth
or seventh day. Entire freshness
seemed to be a condition of the lumln-
osity, so that when the meat began to
smell the brightness ceased.
A scientist of Japan has found that
the skin furrows at the tips Of the I'm

| A late scientific writer defines instinct
as nothing else than an obscure re-
membrance Of experiences which were
made by earlier generations. A c'ear
remembrance which extends over the
boundaries of our individual life has, it
! is true, not yet been found among men,
but this does not prove anything
apaiust the above assertion. Sucti re-
membrapce we do not possess, even tor
the complete period of our present life'
Our memory does not extend back TO
the first years Of our infancy. 1t Is m
errupted by sleep it may be strength
euel by exercise or weakened by neg
lect it may be interrupted by many alb
normal states by which life itself is not
interrupted. Whether in dreams, or IN
conditions of abnormal nervous
excitement, in Mysteries or other sick
ness, memory is increased. so that it
really extends over the period of our So
called individual life, is question
which, although much abused by hum
bugs and imposters, might still arrest
the attention wht Tier the memory OF
man has such an extension, and Though
even for the human ruce the contrary
NAV be proven, it nevertheless might
he possible that some animals are en-
lowed with a memory which reaches fan
beyond their so-calcd individual exls-
tence."
A great Russion cavern, 145 feet wide
