SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE
A GEOLOGICAL SUGGESTION.

Mr. f. w. IIilgard has an article in the July
number n lumber OF The American journal of Science on
The Later Tertiary of the Gulf of Mexico"
After discussing the geology, of the north side
of the Gulf, the writer adds The map Of
soundngs (Which illustrates the articlc) exhibits
very strlklngly the analogy of the relation of
the two penlnsulas of Florida and Yucatan to
tne Gult Stream on the one hand, and the basin
Doth fall on stccply into deep wafer, while the
Outward shores are bordered by the shelf, 100
to 100 miles i'll width, which breaks Oft into
d.eep water at the 100 fathom line. 1t would
thus seem prOri probable that both PENN
sulas were elevated at the same time and to q
somewhat similar extent as regards their low
lands and If so, this event cannot but have
eXerted "a considerable influence in diminishing
tne volume of the Gulf Stream passing inside
OF Cuba. and i'll greatly restraining the peri
phenc Gulf current. Such events could not
have failed to exert some influence upon the
climate OF the regions concerned, as we'll as
upon the nature of the Gulf-borlcr deposits.
CannOt something be done toward II prOmpt
solution OF this interesting problem in American
geology, upon which depend so many other
mootea questions of first Importance A single
season s yachting excursion along the shores of
Mexico would, under the hands of Il wei posted
observer, be amply sufficient to settle all the
man points. Even Il few specimens Of rock
from prominent points might 20 far toward the
elucidntion. But any such exploration should
be made, not with II view to the discovery and
naming of new fossils, but with that of working
from the base line of the well-Observed facts
and regions toward those yet to lie observed,
and OF unifying that which Of necessity must
have been evolved as unit That in order to
accomplish this end the weary catalogue of
spurious species that now cucumber Ouf lists Of
tertiary shells must be thoroughly revised
from the present biological point Of view, is
unfortunately true. Nowhere would richer
meld reward the la50rs of the faithful worker.
The time for this has certainly COmc-but
where is the man!

ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENTS

= The approach Of the Electrical Exhibition ot
Paris seems already to have inslilIcd an I'M
usual degree of vigor into all electrical dcycon
mcnts, Experiments were recently made ut the
Grand Opera III Paris in the TRANSMISSION
through the mcrophone of the musical part of
the representation, with results that are de-
scribcd MS marvellous. The modulations of thc
voice and the concerted pieces were distinctly
heard and distinguished, to the admiration or
the distant audience. a demonstration of this
character is expected to form IL regular feature
at the coming Electrical Exposition where n
special hall will be provided, whence visitors
wlll be able To enjoy the representations ut the
Opera House without leaving the place. La
Nature foresces the day when music will be-
sent around by the wires to asscmbly-rooms
and we will be ablo to turn it on by adjust,
ing conmutator, IT'S we now get water by
turning Il faucet.

distinct individuals of this order are now de-
posted in the Museum at Yale College The

Marsh, and especial pains have been taken to
work ont the osteolcgy of this animal, as key
to the structure of the group. Almost every
bone in the skeleton is now known by various
specimens and this affords ample material for
a restoration which will represent very nearly
the osseous framework of the animal when
alive. Professor Marsh will shortly publish an
illustrated monograph fully describing these

How PRouIDIrIoN WORKS IN CAL
cAsIEU.-Last fall vote was taken in
the eight wards of Calcasieu parish,
on the question of prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating liquor. on and after
January /, 1881. Wards seven and
eight, including the Sugartown settle
ment, in the northern portion of this
parish, gave majority for prohibition.
Recently u prominent merchant from
Sugartown, one who, up TO few years
ago, sold liquor at his store, informed
us that the result of this election had
proved so beneficial to that entire Sec
ton, that there was not the slightest
probability that the sale of ardent
spirits would ever again be licensed
there.
Before the first of January last ii
was impossible to have any large gath
ering of people at Sugartown without
having the most outrageous scenes
of drunkenness and rioting. Now
peace, good order, and the best of
feeling, characterize all such assemblies,
the people are happy and contented,
their money is spent in acquiring prop
erty, in the support of their families
and in the education of their children,
and general prosperity prevails all over
that thickly settled region.
And just such results will follow
such action in every ward in every
parish in Louisiana.
