POPULAR SCIENCE.

| The body Of colossal rhinoceros, with
unbroken skin, covered with long hair, ha'
been found in the Werchojanski District OF
Siberia, on the bank Of tributary of the
River Jana.
1t is recommended by DIR. F. Won Heydon
that salicylc acid be applied in dilute solu.
ton TO wooden yarns, and be mixed with
sizes in order TO prevent mildew, unpleasant
smells, etc. Five grammes of the saiicylic
are sufficient for litre Of size.
In recent published article by Professor
s. A. Forbes on the food of fishes the results
of the examination Of the contents, etc. of
the stomachs of darters, perches, bass, and
other fish are given, and the observations
lead the author 10 the following belief: "a
fish makes scarcely more than mechanical
selection from the articles of food accessible
TO it, taking almost indifierently whatever
edible thing the water contains, which its
habitual range and its peculiar alimentary
apparatus enable it TO appropriate, and eat
ing of these in about the ratio OF the rela-
tive abundance and the ease with which
they can be appropriated at any time and
place. If this is so, knowing the structure
of fish and the contents of body of water
we shall be able TO tell priori what the fish
will eat il placed therein
In apsper on the conservation Of grain in
closed reservoirs, by NJ. Muntz, read short
time ago before the French Academy of
Science, stress was laid on the part played
by the presence ofcarbonic acid. With re-
newal Of the air he found about ten times
more of the acid than when the vessel was
kept closed. The volume of carbonic acid
found in contact with air is always less than
that of the oxygen absorbed The oxygen
is mostly fixed by fatty matters. Too dry
grain. not giving much of an asphyxiating
atmosphere, is less liable to the ravsges of
insects. The proportiop OF carbonic acid in
creases rapidly with thedegree Of moisture.
AS the temperature is raised there is physio-
logical combustion to about SOC Centigrade,
thereafter chemical. Sulphide of carbon
and the like diminish but do not stop the
formation Of carbonic acid.

GARFIELD in the Pnlnit-

Learning that President-elect Garfield was
at one time pastor Of the Disciple Church in
Aurora, o.. and, in fact, the only one with
which he was thus connected, a writer of the
Cleveland Herald called upon Hon. c. K.
Harmon, one of General Garfield's earliest
and most influential friends and brought
up the subject by requesting the narration
of any facts that he might choose TO make
public"
ayes, General Garfield preached here TO
the Disciple Church in lS57-5S, think. He
was elected to the State Senate while preach
ing here. Garfield. when boy, lived in
town at different times, and in haying time
was very desirable hand, butafter he began
10 go to school he was lost sight of, and when
he came to the froht at Hiram College this
brought up the matter afresh; and the
Church here being rather small and Gar
field being somewhat at leisure on Sundays,
it was fixed up for him to come here and
preach every two weeks"

field was ever reverend ~
Eyes. That arises from the fact that the
Disciple Church does not require license
of their teachers, so that any member may
conduct public services. do not think that
he ever was preacher in the full meaning
of the word
Twill you relate some of the circumstances
of his preaching here ~
''Oh, he used 10 come over, usually Satur-
day mornings, and spend the day hunting
His temperament was one that could not
stand the close confinement of the school
room, and these Saturdays were of great
pleasure to him. He was a splendid shot
and he was very successful in securing game.
He would tire out all the rest of the party
in trying 70 keep up with him. In the even
ing he liked to talk and discuss the news of
the day, and as il was the time of the rapid
ascendancy of the Republican party, he was
close student of the tactics of the great
| leaders"
"He was an unusually wsll-informed
young man. was he not Y'

and he never seemed satisfied until he had
got the bottom of it. Sometimes We would
talk all night In the morning after break
fast he would take his Bible and few slips
OF note paper, and 60 into the parlor by him

He could not have gone over the entire sub
ject, simply bringing out point here and
there as heads but half hour later from

discourses, especially noticeable for their
completeness and the clearness of their ar
guments, which must have been supplied

What was his style of pulpit oratory?"
Largely the same as now. The same easy
grace, and voice that the rules of elocution
have but slightly improved. He had a
style then of wearing his hair somewhat
long, and being very bushy aud inclined to
fall over his face. he became very dextrOus
in cOmbing the heavy tawny locks back with
his fingers that made a somewhat original
gesture TO replace it,"

[San Francisco Chronicle. I

Mrs. Foong Sam Toy was baptized and
embraced the Christian faith yesterday after
the morning sermon in the First Baptist
Church, the ceremony being performed by
Rev. J. b. Hartwell, of the Chinese Baptist
Mission on Washington street, above Kear-
ney. The event may be considered nota-
BILE one, for as far ascertained Mrs. Sam
Toy Is the first Chinese woman who has en-
braced the Baptist faith in the State of Cali
fornia the only other known instance on
the coast being that of Chinese woman in
Oregon. Mrs. Foong Sam Toy is aged TWEEN
ty-one, and is now the lawful welded wife
of Sam Toy, young Chinaman who has been
distinguished as regular and sincere at
tendant of the Mission. The history of the fe-
male convert may be epitomized in a few
words. Sister Foong was chubby-faced
little thing, and so young that she had not
yet learned to eat her rice with chop sticks
when her parents in China passed away to
another world. The little orphan was taken
in hand by some old and heartleSs bag, who
chung to the little thing until she became OF
marketable value, when she was sold into
bondage and, like any piece Of merchandise,
bundled off to this country. She lived i'm q
den in one of the alleys in the Chinese
quarter. surrounded by vice and immortality,
until snatehed from her miserable life by
the police. Sister Foong was then vet OF
tender age, and was placed in one of the or
phan Asylums where she has been for two
OF three years. In the Institution she
made the acquaintance of another little
Chinese girl, whose career had been
mapped out by an American family living
at the Potrero. The attention of these good
people was brought to Sister Foong by the
newly-found companion, and they took her
prOtege. The young woman was sent
to the Mission School, and, being an apt and
willing girl, advanced in her studies so
rapidly that she can read and write nicely
and speak English fairly. She is regular
attendant at the school on Washington
street, where circumstances have put her in
contact with Sam Toy bright and intelli-
gent Chinese boy. They sang from the
same hymn-book, learned the letters of the
alphabet and the rudiments of spelling out
of the same illustrated primer. and last Oc-
tOber resolved to go through life together
over the same road, a proposition gladly as
scented to by all her guardians, whose
browning effort was achieved yesterday
when their ward embraced the faith.

head. Some Of the bodies were very old.
but several seemed 70 have been buried quite
recently. One old Indian rested In the forks
OF tree near the ground, and his body had
been fixed up with great care, indicating
that he was q chief. He had lain on his
scsffold long time.
The robes and blankets about him we're
rotten, the scaffold was falling 10 pieces, and
his feshless head protruded from his grave
wrappings. Touching the head with a
stick, IL dropped from the backbone, and
fell 10 the ground with thud.
AS il lay there, with its eyeless sockets,
the white cheekbones cleaning in the sun

mouth, could not belp thinking of the
lines on poor Yorick, and / said:

A little further on, 1 saw an Indian baby
that had been carefully put up in bark.
and swinging 70 a limb. Its little coffin
was dashed about with rawhide, and it was
suspended with thongs Of the same ma
terial
Some attempt had been made TO ornament
its singular grave by tying strips of red and
blue cloth around its coffin, and among the
branches OF the tree.
Poor little Indian BABY the sight Of it
made me feel sad, and thought of another
little baby sleeping in the green graveyard
far away among the mountains Of Penn
sylvania. Thought too, it was the darling
of some fond, though savage and tawney-
skinned mother, who, perhaps, with her
own hand had laid it TO rest.
Tonight she would dream about it in her
distant prairie home, and again 1t would
nestle on her bosom. Remembering my
own little birdings in their Eastern home,
reyerently uncovered my head and left
the spot.
Next day found the coffin of the baby
had been cut down, its body turned out on
the ground and all the trinkets taken away.

who committed this ruthless act, and, had

ished him very severely, for l was justly

man, named Gneisdorf-came to me with
some skulls he had gathered in the woods
and tried TO explain them.
He said one Of the heads was that of a
young girl, certainly not more than seven
teen years Of age when she had died, and
who had been dead at least twenty years,
then he went on TO give me his reasons for
such an opinion, all of which seemed very
good. Next he showed me the skulls of an
old man and a woman, and one of II person
who, he said. must have been dead for over
fifty years.
General Bradley who was in advance,
sent me a note 70 say he was approaching
the Republican River, and that the scouts
reported the country beyond full of herds of
buffalo, antelope and elk. / naturally felt
anxious to get forward.
