SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Late experiments have shown that
about twenty per cent of the pupils in
the deaf and dumb schools of London
are, by means of the audiphone, en-
abled to hear sufficiently we'll to take
their places in the classes of ordinary
schools. 1t is known that in cases Of
deafness where the auditory nerves are
unaffected, the audiphone enables the
patient to hear with distinctness but
where the auditory nerves are destroyed
or diseased no appliance at present
known is Of any utility.
Mr.. Rouger has described to the
French Academy a violent storm at
Laigle in September last. Between $3.50
and II P. NJ. there were at least 4,700
flashes Of lightning; sometimes there
were as many as three flashes per Sec
Ond. The thunder was almost contin-
uous, like a buzzing, interrupted by
heavy rollings.
An instrument called the margarine
ter has been invented by two Partisan
chemists for detecting the presence of
margarine in butter. 1t is based on the
different densities of butter and the
greasy substances substituted for or
mixed with it. "
By means of strictly vegetable diet,
DR.. Hureau de Villeneuve states that
he has succeeded in Kidding himself Of
attacks of equity rheumatism with
which he had been afflicted for years,
and Of which several Of his ancestors
had died.
A very beautiful mineral-to which
the namc Of "hiddenite" has been given
was discovered not long ago in North
Carolina by W. E. Hidden. 1t is the
first purely American gem found, and
is very valuable. r.
Prof. Klebs, of Prague, has discover

remains of patients who have died OF
typhoid fever. It is not found in the
bodies of persons whose dealt, has been

Cheap Literature.

The country is flooded with the dime
novel, and we wond Ter with great as
Punishment where the enormous guam
tity of trash comes from. How many
brains are working and toiling to bring
forth the mice, most of them unluckily
like the red mouse which Faust saw
springing from the mouth of the witch
Mt the Broken festival. Silly novels,
religious novels, indecent and stupid
novels, follow each other in such quiet
succession, that we begin to doubt the
existence of any other literature. The
greatest of living Psychologists, George
Ebers, man whose life and fortune
has been spent in the study ofsEgyptian
antiquities, thinks it proper to give to
the world the result of his ripe work in
the form of novel "uarda." Philoso-
pliers and psychologists air their special
theories in the garb of fiction, and even
Malloek the realist, who believes and
hopes in nothing that is not Endorsed by
the senses, gives us in his New Repub-
lie y the characters, the positions and
the sentiments of the modern novel in
transcendental form.
We have no healthy novels. No
simple pictures of every day life, and
every day people. Zola's brutal sketches
take us to the cutters and slums of
Paris among the vilest of the vile, but
they are only true to exaggerated vice,
and that is not the healthiest atmos-
phere to breathe even for an hours read
ing. The greatest of modern novelists,
George Eliot, whose death leaves a
vacancy in literary ranks impossible to
be filed, taught us in her last works
the sad, aimless theory of negation. So
even her novels are not good for moral
health. But to the young, the deluge
of poisonous novels which you find
every. where and in all households, are
q deadly poison. Their results are
cropping out in the increase of vice
among youths and even children, and
the late epidemic of suicide can in
many cases be traced to sensational
novels. We don't affect more virtue
than our neighbors. We think good
novel a very good thing indeed, and
we read great many bad ones. But
all the same we are shocked to see them
in the hands of innocent children, and
to hear foolish parents remark, sob /!
such silly novel as that couldn't harm
any one. If forbid my son or daughter
to read it, they will be sure to do SO
clandestively and thus disobey me-"
Not strong line of argument that
if child wishes to take poison we
should assist him to swallow it, for fear
that be might he tempted to kill him
sell. behind our backs. Once the price
Of these books restricted their circnla-
ton. Now they are in the hands of
every school girl or boy who can COM
mand dime. Parents should at least
require Of their children that the books
they read should be examined carefully,
and they should provide them with
more wholesome literature than they
usually choose for themselves. We
have noticed that the evil Of indis-
criminate novel reading among the
young is spreading in this community,
and in all kindness we give this warn
ing. ~ G

Twenty Presidents of the United
States, and only three of them mentioned
agriculture in their inaugural address:
Washington, Hayes and Garfield. Du-
ring the past few years agriculture has
had marvellous impetus, socially, COM
mercially, politically. In five years it
has had more serious attention in Con-
gress than in all the years before to-
gether. Several times there have been
mild attempts to promote the United
States Department Of Agriculture to an
equal footing with similar branches in
European governments. At last the
movement by natural growth developed,
a few weeks ago, almost a twO-thirds
majority vote il Congress for placing
this department in the same category
with the Treasury, War, Post Office and
other departments. President Garfield
is we'll known to possess lively inter-
est In all questions OF AGRICULTURAL poll
ty, and perhaps none Of his predecessors
have SO we'll understood the needs of
this great industry, and we confidently
expect to see him choosing an able,
statesmanlike Secretary Of Agriculture
reached its meridian. In his inaugural
he said The interests of agriculture
deserve more attention from the Gov
eminent than they have yet received.
The farms of the United States afford
homes and employment for more than
one-half the people, and furnish much
the largest part Of all our exports. As
the Government lights our coasts for
the protection of mariners and for the
benefit OF commerce, SO it should give
to the tillers Of the soil the lights of
practical science and experience.n-
