TIE JEANNETTEs VOYAGE.

Two expeditions have Just set out for the
Arctic regions IN search of the exploring
steamer Jeanette. The Jeannettc sailed from
San Francisco July ., 1879, and steamed Iii
rectly for ST. Michael's, IN Alaska. There she
coaled and took OH board rs trained dogs, :
dog sleds, fur clothing, and two experienced
lnnuit hunters. The expedition thus equipped
for Ice travel, passed through Behrng Strut,
steering in the direction Of ST. Lawrence Bay,
thence around East Cape 10 Cape Scribe, on
the northeast coast of Siberia, in the Arctic
Ocean, from which pulnt-after landing letter
dated August ~ 1879, which was about twelve
months III reaching ew-Nork-Captain De
Long intended 10 approach the southern end
Of Wrangel Land, in latitude TO- - north, and
near the prime meridian VI 1900, touching, II
practicable, at kOlintchin Bay.
On the I'd Of September 1870, when about
30 miles or 50 south OF Herald Island Captain
Barnes OF the American whale bark Sea Breeze,
saw the Jeanette under full sail and steam,
and attempted TO communicate with her, but
both vessels were in heavy Ice and a dense fog
was setting in, which prevailed up 20 the fol.
lowing day. These vessels having approached
TO within less than four miles of each other,
held their courses without communication. ON
the following day, September 3, 1879, Captain
Kelley, of the bark Dawn Captain Bauldly, OF
the Helen Mar; and several others OF the
whaling fleet, then somewhat nOrtbWard Of the
Sea Breeze, saw siuOkc issuing nom steamer
snOkcstack, in range OF Herald Island, thrY
being in latitude TO- 81 north, longitude Ia
so west, in a narrow space Oi open water, and
within 20 miles of Herald Island. The jean
nettc having pressed forward was hull-tOWn
north of these whalers, hence they only saw
her black smoke. The weather was quite
clear at this time. She was standing north
ward, and was herself little east of due south
from Herald Island. These are the last tidlngs
of the Jeanette received 10 dau. After dOubl-
ing East Cape, she held a nearly due north
course toward Herald Island, and was last seen
steaning and carrying all sail abreast OF the
eastern shore of WEngel Land, some 20 miles
or so from its coast line, with favorable

THE MAMIE MINES OF VERMONT.

DIR. r. H. Hoskins has explained more fully,
in The Maine Fdrmer, the origin Of the manure
mines of Vermont, 20 which reference WIS re-
Gently made in these columns. IL appears that
all the urine of the animals was allowed 10
soak through the floor into the ground under
meath, and, the liquid being rich IN both
nitrogen and potash the conditions were to
some extent favorable for the formation Of
nitrates from n part of the nitrogen, while
another portion remained in the form of salts
of ammonia With such wastcful management
of this most valuable part Of the manure, II Is
no wonder that rich mines were found after
an accumulation Of twenty years The ground
being covered by the building, and protected
from the rain, no other water than that of the
urine ltself could leach through it-else the
richness would not have remained there
Nitratcs are quickly carried of 10y pcrcoHtlng

TIE DOLBEAR TELEPHONE.

Professor Dobear, Of Tufts College, Massa-

out new system which is said to possess some

PERIODS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

DR.. Richardson, Of London, has been giving
the Sanitary Institute some Of the results of
his recent researches as 10 the periods of tho
incubation of infectious diseases which the
sanitarian bad to combat. He said there were
twenty-six diseases of this kind. with periods
which might fairly be called regular Incuba-
tion was the time which interviewed between the
acceptaion of tie poision that caused the dis
ease and the frst manifestation of its effect.
Diseases might thus be grouped according to
their stages of incubation into five classes
shortest, short, medium, long, longest. The
shortest period was one to four days; under
this head came plague cholera, malignant pus-
tulc, and dissection poison The second period
was from two to six days, and under this head
came scarlet fever, diphtheria, Group, cry
sipelas, hopping cough, influenza, CHAMBERS, and
pygmia. The medium period was from four 10
eight days, and in il are included cOw-pox and
relapslng fever. The long period had ten TO
fifteen days, and included in It measles humps,
typhus, and typhoid: The longest period, forty
days included syphilis, and might include
hydrophObia. Or. Richardson pointed out i'm
portant practical sanitary lessons that were
connected with correct knowledge of these
periods Of incubation.
