Luminous Paint.

According to the London Building News,
luminous paint is getting into quite extensive
use in England. Mention is made of Offices
coated with the paint which gives great salts
faction to the occupants. The effect is that
of subdued light every object in the room
being clearly visible, so that in a room so
treated one could enter without light, and
find any desired article. The luminous paint
is excited by the ordinary daylight and its
effect is said to continue for about thirteen
hours, so that it is well adapted for painting
bedroom ceilings passages that are dark at
night, and other places where lamps are OBJ
jectionable or considered necessary. For
staircases and passages a mere band of the
paint will serve as a guide and costs but a
trifle. For outdoor purposes the oil paint is
used, but for ceilings and walls the luminous
paint, mixed with water and special size, can
be used the same as ordinary whitewash, and
presents a similar appearance in the daylight.
By the recent discovery that it can be applied
as ordinary whitewash considerably expands
the field of its usefulness Sheets of glass
coated with the paint are in use in some of
the vessels Of the navy, at the Waltham Pow
der Factory, at Young's paraffine works, and
in the siprit vaults of several London docks
and now that, by increased production and
the use Of water as the medium, its cost is re-
duoed by one half, it will probably be exten-
sively used for painting walls and ceilings.
The ordinary form of oil paint has already
been applied In many ways, to statues and
busts, to toys, TO clock faces, to name plates
and numbers on house doors and to notice
boards such as "mind the STEP" Ito lei, 4"
etc. The paint emits light without combus-
ton, and therefore does not vitiate the at
mosphere. Several experimental carriages
are now running on different railways, the
paint being used instead of lamps which are
necessary all day on account of the line pass
ing through occasional tunnels.

An Evil 90 Let Alone.

A number Of persons more or less promi-
nent in different walks of life have died in
this city within a few months from the direct
effect, it is said, of hypodermic injections of
morphine. Most Of them had, according to
report, begun the injections in order to relieve
themselves from pain caused by neuralgia,
rheumatism, or some other distressing disor-
der. The effect was so pleasant-so delicious,
indeed-that they we're gradually seduced into
such use of morphine when they had no need
of it, and, soon yielding completely to the
habit, were destroyed by it. Physicians say
that this has grown to be far from uncommon
among persons of wealth and position, partic-
ularly among women, who, after having tried
it awhile, have not had the strength 10 relin-
quish the delightful anodyne. Nor is il by
any means confined TO New York. The evil
has spread all over the land though II is nat
urally most prevalent in the large cities. II
is said to have grown alarmingly during the
last five or six years, and many persons who
would never be suspected of the habit are its
iuedeemable victims. 1t has largely usurped
the place, with certain classes, of the old Gus
tom OF taking morphine, laudanum, and 9TH
er preparations of opium, into the stomach
The popular notion is that It is not so HARM
full. but there is very little difference, and the
injections are thought TO be more dangerous
because they are more insidious They can
be selt-adminlstered without the least trouble,
and are so administered in nearly all cases
where serious mischief is done. The effect
of the morphine under the skin is described
as peculiarly and wonderfully agreeable A
delicious languor steals over the Frame the
senses are wrapped as in a voluptuous waking
dream, and most joyous Consciousness Of
perfect yet fascinating repose softly overfows
the mind. Even strong men and women have
found it hard to resist its allurements, and
have not been able to surrender its beatitudes
without arousiDg all their will. On this &C.
count some physicians will not administer or
prescribe morphine under any circumstances,
fearing the consequences to their patients.
Not few women of the finer type have been
wrecked by the habit, and many men, pro-
fessional and commercial, are steadily running
themselves by its indulgence 1t was hailed
as great blessing once, and so it is, properly
regulated; but, like SO many blessings, it may
readily be converted into curse.-N. Y.

Year after year earth's long procession goes
To hide itself beneath the senseless ground.
Upon the graves inexorable brink,
Amazed with loss the human creature stands;
Yainy he strives 10 reason or to think,
Left with his aching heart aud empty hands.
He seeks his lost In vain. There comes no sound;
Darkness and silence all his sense confound.
Till in deaths ro-call stern he hears bis name,
In turn he follows, and is lost to sight;
Though comforted by love and crowned by fame,
He hears the summons dread no man may slight.

he birds shall sing, unmindful Of his dust
Softly, in turn, the long green grass shall wave
over his fallen head In turh he must
Submit TO be forgotten like the rest,
Though high the heart that beat within his breast.
The rose falls, and the music's sound ia gone;
Dear voices cease, and clasp Of loving hands;
Alone stand when the brief day IL done,
Searching with saddened eyes earth's darkeninl
lands.
Worthless as Is the lightest fallen leaf
We seem; yet constant as the night's irst star
Kindles our deathless hope, and from our grief

That love shall lift us all despair above,
Shall conquer death-yea, love, and only Lowell

The Worthy PooR OF A GREAT CITY.-One
of the saddest scenes Of New York life is that
which comes to the man who, in this cold
weather, takes an early morning walk before
the bright sun touches the spires, Then it is
that the hungry, barehRnded, thin clad,
worthy poor, who 60 out to work or to seek
work, may be seen hurrying forth from cheer
ling tinker, with cold red hands, carrying his
irons and shuffiing along the slippery street
in old shoes without stockings; the poor
laundress, pale from the nights ironing, and
showing by her pinched face that if she does
not get Immediate pay for the great basket
full of clothes she may 60 without breakfast,
and the poor newsboy, with shortened sleeves
and pantaloons, calling his papers and ocoa-
sionally breathing on his bent fingers as he
jumps up and down TO induce little warmth.
No beggars appear at this time 1t is the
hour of the worthy poor.-NeaO York Herald

Arctic Exploration. for 1857.

Preparations-are being made by nearly all
the countries of Europe and by America for
a regular Arctic siege, to begin in 1882 the
days of Arctic campaigns are past We have
reached the precincts of the citadel itself, and
now the sappers and miners must begin their
slow but sure work, to be capped at the prop
er time by grand assault. Germany, Aus
tria Norway, Sweden, Russia, Denmark, the
United States, and we believe Canada are all
to take part in this great work by establish
ing observing stations at suitable points all
round the Polar area; while Italy is to send
out next year a scientifically equipped expe-
dition to the Antarctic region, our knowledge
OF which is meagre and uncertain. This last
will really be an observing as well as an ex.
ploring expedition, preparatory to the estab-
lishment of an Antarctic station. Should our
Geographical Society take any steps in the
direction Of Arctic work, we trust it will not
be to encourage the foolish venture for which
the country has been canvassed for subscrip-
tions for years. We hope that society viii
see that as a scientific body its duty is to en-
courageh scientific method of work; and il
it appeals TO Government at all let it be to
urge it, for the honor of our country, to join
in the concert of both hemispheres for the
siege of the Polar citadel. We have already
pointed out on nseveral occasions the vast gains
to science that might be expected from the
work of a series OF Polar observatories estab-
lished on the plans so ably sketched by Lieut..
Weyprecht. As DIR. Neumayer said in the
address alluded to, men Of science do not de-
mand practical or so-called utilitariRn reasons
before giving their adhesion TO any new
work; it is enough if it can be shown that
such work will conducs to the advancement
of knowledge. And that Weyprecht's scheme
of Polar observatories of which so many
Governments approve, will lead to vast addi-
tions being made to scientific knowledge no
man Of science needs TO be told. In meteo-
rology, terrestrial magnetism, biology, geol-
ogy, and glacial physics, the gains would be
immense; and the history of science has
taught us over and over sgain that the surest
path to practical and bene6cent results is
through the gate of pure scientific research.
Every day is the science of meteorology be-
coming more and more important; but until
we are thoroughly acquainted with the mete-
orology of the Arctic regions the most practi-
cal of sciences is deprived of what is perhaps
its most important factor. But one element
of the international scheme is that of Polar
explorations, conducted, however, on scien-
tihc method, and along lines indicated by
scientific knowledge of Arctic conditions
observing stations. What success is likely
such method was triumphantly shown by
Baron Nordenskjold when he sailed along the
Northeast Passage in the Vega. Why, then,
should not England set up station on Franz
Josef Land, and another, say, on some part
of the American ooastp Let the station be
provided with the means OF carrying out ex-

Therefore, that his absenc. from home

Young Henry Mason was in New
York. where he had gone impedi-
a,ely upon leaving the prison, and
hither Richard Martin betook himself.
1t was late when he arrived in the
metropolis, and he was forced TO wait
until the next morning to see the OBJ
ject Of his visit.
Rising early. he hurried through
his toilet and quickly found his WY to
the address given him.
There was nervousness in all that
he did, somewhat new to the quiet,
cool uncle of Nellie Mason.
Arrived at the house, he was usher
ed into plainly-furni>hed parlor,
where, in a moment he was joined by
the younger Mason.
Henry Mason started trifle as he
recognized his early visitor, and put
out his hand, hestatingly.
Richard Martin grasped it, with
strong grip and shook it heartily.
" Let us be friends" he said. smil-
ing. Then, noting the surprised look
on the others face, he added: Il ought
not owe you grudge, and do not"
"Then we are friends" said Henry
Mason.
"There is no use in our wasting
words, Henry continued Richard
Martin. eff have misjudged you, |

you innocent, | have come here to
tell you to return to your wife -
"My wife,"
Henry Mason moved uneasily on his
chair: "Yes. your wife Of course
you knew of her illness. But, of
course, you dared not return, as you
feared results. Let me give you the
credit that you deserve. You love
your wife-love her passionately;

she does not love you. believe she
is now able to talk with you, and, if
you let her know at once that you
have been. guilty of no offense, who
can PREJUDICE that she will still assert
that she despiscs you"
The young man sat staring at the
speaker as if he thought him either
jesting or insane.
"How can you give me this advise,
