Neglected Muscle.

Because thousands Of spectators flock
to the boat races. ball matches and
other athletic diversions that few spir-
tied fellows indulge in every holiday,
there is a general impression that muscle
is held in high esteem by the present
generation. The truth is. that for every
man who takes part in the games there
are a score OF spectators who never will
ingly indulge in any exercise more
violent than that Of cigarette smoking,
and among the remainder there are not
many who can see that athletic sport is
good for anything unless it enables a
man to outdo somebody else and get his
name into the newspapers. The idea OF
cultivating and maintaining muscle be.
cause 1t deserves good treatment and
because it richly repays its owner for
all that is done, is one that seldom gets
into the American mind. Most of our
men OF good phyaquc have either their
parents or their daily work to thank
for it; not anything that they them.
selves have intentionally done for the
purpose of securing sound body. II
is not the easiest thing in the world to
obtain general physical training, for
gymnasiums are few and men competent
to manage them arc fewer; but any man
can devise some exercise for unused
muscles that will he great improve
ment on nothing. Merely to swing the
arms, bend the back or go through the
motions of fencing or boxing for a
quarter OF an hour every day would
make any listless young fellow far bet
ter company to himself than ever before,
and it might prevent him being so

lightning Rods.

\ letter to the New York Journal cf
Commerce and the editorial reply inn
pels Us to make few remarks upon a
subject OF great interest to under
writer's, namely, lightning rods. The
writer OF the letter desires to know the
proper method of putting up lightning
rods, the proper size and material of
rods, the proper distance between
points, and how deep in the ground the
rod should go. At tho annual meeting
OF the Northwestern association in 1877
a paper on this subject was prepared by
Professor Haskins, superintendent of
the Northwestern Telegraph company,
and published with the proceedings of
the association. 1t attracted consider
able attention ut the time, more particu-
larly from the statement that nine
tenths of all the rods in the country
were not only no protection, but were a
positive danger to the buildings they
were supposed to protect. To quote
his own words
No philosophical apparatus has been
more thoroughly misunderstood and
misapplied than the lightning rod.
Nothing promises more and performs
less; the men who mako them; those
who put them up and the victims who
pay for them, all alike are dealing with
what they do not understand; and the
purchaser, especially, is puttidg his
faith in an arrangement that fails him
frequently when danger is nigh. More
still, the roll, in its faulty application,
kindles the fire it was introduced to
prevent, and actually assists in the de-
struction of the property it was intend.
ed to protect.
The professor sums up briefly the re-
qui for protection. The best rod
is copper, and is seven times as good as
iron. Make the joints perfect. Don't
try to insulate it,, because you can't, and
only iniure the rod by trying. Nail the
rod solid to the house. The rod will
protect, when elevated above The roof, a
circle whose radius is the height of the
rod above the bnilding. Don't invest
in gold or platinum points. Timed
copper is as good as any. Garry your
rods down to permanent moisture.
Otherwise they are worse than useless,
positively dangerous Weakly Under

NJ. Milne Edwards, in commenting
on the results OF the deep sea dredging
in the Caribbean sea and the Gulf OF

seems to lay before us two distinct

deposits belong to higher types. Those

character, some of them presenting
ailnitics with the fossils Of the second

larval state Of certain recent species.
In the new edition OF his work on tho
coal fields OF Great Britain, Professor
Hull states that the South Wales coal
field, after that OF the Valley Of the
Clyde, is the largest in G:eat Britain,
and contains vertical strata OF moro than
10000 feet. OF this total depth only
l2O feet are coal. As the lowest coal
bed must have at one time been c1-
posed to mir and water for the growth
OF the plants which formed the coal in
their decay, the South Wales coal field
testifes to n subsidence Of the earth
sufficient to have brought some of the

however, to n depth of 1000 feet that,
having regard to the increased heat OF

WHY 0strlehes Eat Stones.

An ostrich's digestion is aided by
stones or pebbles, which the bird puts
into its stomach to grind the food it has
eaten. This habit is brought out by the
following narrative told in Forest and
Stream, of a visitors experience, while
ut an ostrich farm in South Africa:
The first familiarity one of them ven
turesto take is to make c snap at our
neck. We give him a slap and stand
back.
"oh he's onlyafter your breast-pin, /"
says the farmer; "I forgot to tell you
to keep ouriewelry ont of sight"
This is easily removed, but the in
quisitive bird makes a peck at the top
button Of my coat, and when I find at
last that he does not seem to be very
strong in the beak, and that this Is not
his weapon of offence, let him con-
tinue the operation.
II we ask why these birds have q
passion for buttons and studs, and
bright things generally, including jack
knives, the farmer replies that they are
in the habit Of eating pebbles and stones
to help digestion by the trituration Of
food.
The harder the stone the better, and
II is probable they associate brightness
with hardness.

The number OF artesian wells in New
York city steadily and rapidly increases,
something like forty having been sunk
during the past year. Their depths
range from 300 to 1000 feet, and the
flow ranges from 900 to 1000 barrels
a day. These wells are used mainly by
brewers and other large manufacturers
who require n large amount of water,
and who find the grtesian we'll water
economical both from its chcapness and
its coolness, which enables them to dis
pense with much ice Usually the wells
are vertical. In one instance seven
holes were drilled in different directions
and at different angles, only one being
vertical. The boring was carried to a
depth Of about 2G0 feet on the average,
the longest at an angle being 457 feet
deep. Water was struck in all the bor-
ings, and an abundant supply has been
obtained continuously.

Force OF Habit.

II is stated that there is one regiment
in the Russian army made up entirely
of American commercial drummers.
While fighting in Central Asia they met
one tribe that still clings to the old
Chinese method of fighting by beating
gongs. The regiment was on the run
when the gong corps came on the field.
The result was n terrible surprise to the
Chinese. The drummers had not been
well led, and they hadn't heard gong
since they left America. The sudden
and desperate rush they made in the di.
rection from which the sound of gongs
came was irresistible. II was such 9
rush as they made for hotel dining
rooms. They swept all before them,
turning defeat into victory. But they
we're awfully disappointed when they

In his recent lecture at the national
fishing exhibition in Norwich, England.
Professor Huxley said great many in
teresting things about that prolific and
valuable friend of man, the herring.
lie described this fish as occupying a
place in natural history almost unique
in itself, which still TO certain extent
puzzles biologists. Practical men NAV
have little difficulty in determining
whether given fish is herring or not:
but scientific biologists, looking little
deeper, have not always succeeded in
drawing 4 hard and fast line between
the herring, the sprat, The shad and the
piichard. One thing is certain, that.
by whatever name the fish is called, the
numbers on the English coast are enor.

remain the same, the supply Is practi.
cally inexhaustible. Calculating bv tho
