% The work Of renovating the wharf known
as Brewers ." is being proceeded with steadily,
if not very rapidly. The ruins of that part of
the old wharf which were crushed into the water
by tons OF sugar and piles of bricks, III excess of
their bearing capacities, are now been tished up
and got out of the way, piles are being driven
for an extension of the wharf seaward, the object
being to lengthen the Eva side, so that a vessel
can conveniently lie there to load or discharge.
1t is satisfactory that the result of an accident,
not in itself very creditable to the authorities, 5"
whoever they may be, who have the custody and
control of our wharyes, is to be an improvement
in the shipping facilities of the port. The pub
lie would however like to see an improvement of
another class follow, as n moral TO the story of
the breakdown of this wharf, viz: active super
vision in the future to prevent public property
from being destroyed by acquisitive people, who
like TO allow huge piles of goods to accumulate
upon them in order to save themselves some ex-
pense or trouble.

LOOK OUT FOR MOSQUITOES AND FLIEs.-In
Japan it has long been recognized by the native
physicians that mosquitoes are active agents in
conveying the virus of malignant pustules from
one person to another. The researches of DIR.
Patrick Manson in Annoy have led to the sus-
picion that the spread of ElephdntidSiS IN the
south of Japan is due 20 the same pest. Flies
are known to be transmitterS of disease. In
China, the baal-tzee fly is dreaded as a transmit
ter of the plague. Our precautions against the
annoyance of mosquitoes and flies, should not
be confined to our beds alone: but our rooms
should be effectually barred. Mosquito bars
should be placed in every window and door way
of every sleeping and sitting room in this cOun-
try. When a musquito or fly is probing YOU
with his proboscis he may be inoculating YOU
with some contagious disease.

Il DR.. Tanner nsaa !,

The Frankfort correspondent OF the
London Standard tells the following
story: "The American faster, Dr..
Tapner, has departed this life with IN
unostentatiousDess strongly CONTRAST
ing with tho sensational manner In
which he las. year contrived to live
through his battle against hunger.
About q month ago he arrived ut
Amsterdam and al'ghted at the Hotel
Cornelius. He was accompanied by
Mrs. DIR. Tanner aid two children.
In point Of physique the lady is stated
to have presented the strongest possi-
BILE contrast to the lean and lathlik-
form OF her husband. The arrival of
the visitors in the Dutch capital re.
manned unDoticed In The press of the
Continent, and it is only now. three
weeks after the death of DR.. Tanner,
that the circum stances of his sudden
decease have become known. For a
week after arriving IN Amsterdam DR..
Tanner confined himself to his room
in the hotel. 1t is reported that dur
ing this time he used To eat five or six
meals day with a ravenous appetite,
besides consuming large quantity OF
spirits. At length he Informed the
hotel keeper who he was, and said he
had come 10 see Dir. Croft. This
physician had, in several Dutch paper RI
| expressed disbelief IN the gepuineness
Of DR.. Tanners well known fast and

nutriment by secret means.
The object of DR.. Tanner In going
to Amsterdam was to perform in DR.

which he had gone through in Ameri

reached Amsterdam, returned hom,
on the 18th ult., and at once sent ;
messenger to the American, who haC
begun to grow impatient OF the delay
Rejoiced to hear that DIR. Croft had d

his room TO receive him, but in doing
SO missed his footing at the Top Of th,

Steering ships by Electricity,

From the London Engineering,
i patent has recently been taken
out for means Of steering. a ship by
electricity. The apparatus is the In.
vention Of Mr.. w. f. King, an Edin-
bnrgh electrician, and was recently
tried on board a steamer stailipg be-
tween Glasgow and London. Its OBJ
ject is to dispense with helmsman
and make the compass itself steer the
ship. For this purpose the com pass
card is fitted with an index which Ia
set to the true course, and one degree
on either side Of the true course two
metallic contact pins ARE adjusted
each pin Is connected 10 a single
Daniel cell, and when the ship deyi.
ates as much as degree from her
course to one side or the other the
index comes into contact with one or
other metal pin. The result 8 that a
positive or negative current flows and
aotuates a hydraulic apparatus which
works the helm.

How photography of colors may
be accomplished by dyeing layers Of
coagulated albumen was lately ex-
planned to the French Academy of
Silence, by NM. G. Cross and j.
Carpenter. They submitted two pho-
tographic proofs Of painting in water
colors along with the original, show
ing the exact reproduction of the de
tails aud colors. Three photographs
OF the original were taken, one
through a liquid orange screen
another through liquid green screen
aud third through liquid violet
screen. For the image obtained
through the first screen red color
bath was employed; for that sproduc,
ed through the second screen a blue
bath; and for that effected through
the third screen, yellow bath. In
this process there Is evidently ne

Amy difference of specific gravity

Amy difference of specific gravity
between butter and margarine, oleo
margarine, and mixture of mar
garine and oil of earth nuts is so
very limited, says NJ. Richie in the
Journal de Pharmacie, that no appar,
atus based upon specific gravity is
capable of showing the relati pro-
portion of fats and butter found in
commercial mixtures. M. Richie is
right. Here by the way, is a !meaps OF
distinguishing butter from fat or q
mixture Of flats and butter, which
any housewife may successfully EN-,
rploy if her sense of taste is not OF
itself delicate enough to do so. The
com pieer Is indebted for it to a
butter merchant I in Reade>street.
Rub some of the suspected butter on
piece of broadcloth. If the butter
disappears without leaving a stain it
was pure, however poor. But if it
leaves "grease spot,' 1t had been
more or less mixed with fats. Perhaps
readers will now recall 10 mind how
singularly free from spots of any
kind the clothing of dealers in butter
usually is although these men in
sampling their goods not unfrequent
ly find that some butter had been
dropped on their dress. Tne fact is
that butter instead OF soiling broad
cloth is useful for cleaning it.

1t has sometimes been thought, says
La Lunlere Electrique, that a copper
cable of enormous thickness would be
required to transmit the hydraulic
power Of Niagara Falls to New York.
Prof. Ayrton has shown that the
whole power could be transmitted by
q slender copper wire, provided that
the wiie could be thoroughly insu"
lated. He has also shown that the
only hindrance to receiving the whole
power is the friction of the machines.
1t is, therefore, believed that immense
machines, with continuous curren s.,
with detached exciters or magneto-
electric machines, driven very rapid y
by steam-power, will hold a very i'm.
portant place in the future transmits.

it would be possible to warm and Ugh
