STORING UP ELECTRICITY.


The Faure battery continues to attract
attention in France and England. A
correspondent of the London Times tells
how he carried box of the stored-up
electricity from Paris to Glasgow. He
says: A Faure battery, or pile seco'a-
daire, was charged with the electric fluid
direct from the ordinary Grove battery
and in my presence. The receptacle
consisted of four Faure batteries, each
about five inches in diameter and ten
inches high. forming cylindrical lead
en- vessel, and containing alternate sheets
of metallic lead and minium wrapped in
felt and rolled into spiral wetted with
acidulated water, and the whole placed
in square wooden box, measuring about
one cubic foot and weighing some seven
ty-6ve pounds. This was protected by
loose wooden cover through which the
electrodes Gin lead) protruded, and were
iattened down for convenience of trans
port. This box of electric energy
was handed to me by M. Faure, at my
request. with the object of submitting it
for examination and measurement to the
eminent electrician, Sir William Thorn
son, at the University of Glasgow.
In about seventy-two hours from the
time of changing in Paris | had the sat-
isfaction of presenting to Sir William
Thomson, M. Faure's "box of electrici-
ty,' intact and potent, holding by meas
urement within that small space of one
cubic foot a power equivalent to nearly
one million Of foot pounds This won
derful box is now deposited in the labo-
ratory of the Glasgow University, and
being submitted to a series of tests and
measurements, the results of some of

COVER THE STONES"

On we wander, with smiles or sighs,
Laughter or tears, in our wrinkling eyes,
Aches and pains in our stiffening knees,
We care now only for rest and ease;
Friends have gone to the distant zones.
Yet we are still pattering over the stones.
Youth-ha! many are gone since then,
Past and forgotten by angels and men,
Melted to gases, pale and thin,
With their follies and faults. and virtue and sin
Yet still in our ears sound their friendly tones,
AS we go pattering over the stones.
The streets are changed. and the houses too,
Forgotten the good that we tried to do;
The sea has some of our friends once dear,
Earth has swallow'd the rest we fear;
Acids and salts have fed from their bones,-
Yet we're still pattering over the stones.

CHELSEA, VT, Feb "a, 1879.
The 9th day of last June was taken sick
with swelling on my right foot, and with an
awful pain. The swelling went all over me.
My face was swelled so that could with diff
fculty see out OF my eyes, and i broke out
over the whole surface of my body; my right
foot up to my knee was one raw, itching
mass, and my ankle and foot so lame and
sore could not step on it, and it would run
so as to wet bandage through in an hour

SLEEPING APARTMENTS.

1t must not be forgotten that we spend
a considerable portion of our lives in the
bed-chamber, and consequently that its
healthiness or unhealtniness cannot fail
of having very important influence
upon our physical wellbeing Every
one, in fact, who is actuated by a due
regard for his health and real comfort,
will consider an equal degree of attention
necessary in their night apartment, and
yet how often do We find families crow
ded at night into obscure and confined
chambers of dimension scarcely more
ample than those of an old fashioned
closet, while, perhaps, in most instances,
the best rooms in the house will be set
aside for the sole purpose of ostentatious
display. 1t is all important that the
largest and most lofty rooms upon the
second floor be appropriated for the
sleeping apartment and that it be freely
ventilated during the daytime at all sea-
sons, when the weather is not rainy or
otherwise very humid. There are few
houses the rooms of which are so situa-
ted as to render the latter impracticable
and the influence of the practice upon
the health of the inmates is too impor-
tant to permit its being neglected from
any slight cause. A bed-chamber should
be divested of all unnecessary furniture,
and. unless of considerable size. should
never contain more than one bed.
There cannot be asgmore perniciOus
custom than that pursued in families, of
causing the children, more especially, to
sleep in small apartments. with two or
three beds crowded into the same room
1t is scarcely necessary to observe that
cleanliness is most essential in regard to
the bed-chamber. - Is ut

THE PRESIDENT STILL LIVES.

President Garfield still lives but
that is about all that can be said.
He has not vomited since Monday,
and his stomach has retained some
nourishment administered by the nat
ural way. The dispatches of yesterday
and last night state thai he has grown
no worse, but neither do they say he
has gained, and unless one in his
weakened condition is gaining he is cer-
~taiajy going backward. 1t seems as
though the last ray of hope had faded.
Our readers must prepare themselves
to hear the worst, for unless the Presi.
dent takes radical change for the
better, it does not seem possible that
he can live another week. The country
is waiting 10 breathless suspense.
