The abridgment of patents has
been commenced. 1t is designed in
each patent to give name and residence
of inventor, title of invention, dates of

Experiments by German scientists
in ascertaining the peculiarities of the
electric light establish the fact that it is
not only healthier than other methods of
illumination, in leaving the air purer,
but that it increases the power of the
vision in some respects, especially in
distinguishing colors. Red, green, blue,
and yellow are made much more dis
tinct and marked under this light than
by daylight.
-Ead's Tehauntepec ship railway is
expected by some people to be a greater
success than the Panama Canal. The
railway is /, 100 miles north of the canal,
which would give saving Of 2,200
miles to vessels going to the North Pa
cific. Eads has a good concession from
Mexico, and his road would cost $751;
100000 against the $240, 10000 for the
canal.
A German philosopher has been ex-
perimenting as to the influence of intel
lectual labor upon the circulation Of the
blood. His observations show that the
heart beats are increased two to three
pulsations per second. The greater the
labor and the closer the attention, the
greater the number of pulsations. Thus
this philosopher discovered that the
study of geometry, to which he had
never given much attention, made his
heart beat more rapidly than that of
philosophy, with which he was already
familiar. Concerning the effect of ardu-
Gus love-making upon the heart beats,
he does not appear to have recorded any
observations.
Prof. Laverau, of the Medical School
of Valde erase, has just published a
work describing what he considers to be
a new parasite which he has found in
the blood of persons affected with mala-
rial fever. A notice of his discovery
was communicated to the Academy of
Medicine SO long ago as Noveaber.
1880, but it seems to have attracted little
attention, being thought to be simply
one of the numerous announcements
made of late years of the discovery Of
the cause of malaria, which prove in the
end to have no foundation. The organ
ism described by Prof. Laverau is a
minute cell, in general appearance
somewhat like white blood corpuscle,
and having Ike it ameboid movements.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

AT Yorktown on the 18th, the Cen
tennial ceremonies began with an imposing
procession of Masons and persons of distinc-
tion, including President Arthur, who was
loudly cheered on the march to the grand
stand, Cabinet officers, Congressman, Ma
tional Guards, and Army and Navy officers,
who were attended also by the troops Of
all arms. When all had taken the
places assigned them the ceromo-
nes were opened with prayer by
Rev. Robert Nelson, grandson Of Governor
Nelson, who commanded the Virginia mil
itia at Yorktown. He thanked God for the
100 years of blessings vouchsafed this coun-
try, for Washington, for our allies, and for
our victory, and prayed that the people of
this land might not pride themselves
too much upon their own achieve
ments and prosperity, but that they
might thank and trust the Lord.
At the conclusion of the prayer the band
played the Star Spangled Banner, with ar
tillery accompaniment. Governor Holiday,
of Virginia, then delivered the address OF
welcome. His illusions to the unity OF
sentiment, purpose and destiny OF all
sections of our common country were
greeted with enthusiastic applause.

Virginia, Chairman of the Congressional
Commission, then made few appropriate
remarks, in which he sketched the history
of the surrender, read from the original
documents an account of the action OF
Congress at the time, and exhibit
ed the sword voted to the messenger
who bore the news Of the surrender.
Workmen, under the direction OF the Grand
Master of Virginia, then laid the corner
stone, according to the ancient and honora-
BILE rite Judge b. r. Wexford, of Virginia,
the Masonic orator, made an eloquent ad-
dress, at the conclusion Of which the GER
emonies ended. The pyrotechnic display at

election of the following officers: Pres
ident, Rev. III. M. Corsbie; Superin-
tendent, Rev. H. NJ. Corsbie; Secretary,

next Sunday. The school voted to con-
tinue to use the National Series of
lessons.
Rev. Fl. NJ. Corsbie preached on Sun.
day morning, from the words: He
came unto His own, and His own re.
ceiveth Him not. But as many as re-
ceived Him. to those gave He power
to become the sons Of God" He gave
as among the reasons why the Jewish
nation rejected Jesus as their Saviour
their expectation of the literal fulfill
ment Of the Messianic prophesies. The
warm, exuberant, 1gurative language
of prophesy had not been fulfilled lit
orally. The fulfillment was spiritual.
Many looked for literal second COM
ing of Jesus. In his opinion, this
prophesy had already been spiritually
fulfilled. The speaker closed with an
earnest appeal. and expressed the hope
that during the coming session Of the
Sunday school many would accept
Christ.
