Who We're the Mound.Builders }

DR.. W. De Haas, after careful ex-
animation Of the supposed connection
between the 6 mound builders" and the
ancient races Of Mexico, has come to
the conclusion that it does not exist.
He considers that The former people
were but little advanced beyond the
modern Indians, but that they were
different. In the discussion that fol-
lowed the readingof DR.. De Haas paper
in the American Association Judge
Henderson objected to sheterm ssmound-
builder, as one that conveyed false
idea. There is no evidence, he said,
which will justify us in separating the
ancient and more modern races, not q
single feature peculiar to the so-called
mound-builders. The speaker had
started out in the study OF American
archaeology with the impression that
these people were distinct and separate
from the Indians, but he had been COM
PEELED by the force of facts to relinquish
the theory. It was improper to talk
about these people as mysterious, for
they were no more mysterious than the
Shawnees, the Natchez, the Tensas, and
other tribes. The cloth found in their
works was like that made by every tribe
from the lakes to the gulf, even less fine

Artificial Limbs.

The history Of the improvements IN
artificial limbs belongs entirely to this
century. The first were made Of cork.
Though the first contained many i'm
provements upon the old s'peg-leg," or
wooden stump, yet they were far from
perfect. The number of men wounded
in the war, and the generous policy Of
the government toward them, so in
creased the demand for artificial limbs
that numerous inventions were patented
in this direction. The material used
in these inventions have been wood,
leather, sheet iron, tin, zinc, rawhide,
rubber and combination of these with
other materials, the composition of
which is the inventors secret. The
combinations Of these various legs have
been intended to secure ease and secur-
ity in the motions and to initiate those
Of nature as closely as possible but as
is usual in all inventions the first
methods used for this purpose is accu
racy. The artificial arm worn BY s'Jim'
McClelland, the New York lawyer, is
wonder of mechanism. Mr. McCIelland
was, in his earlier days. q newspaper
reporter. On one occasion, when in
the pursiifisr srf information for the jour
nal upon which he-Twasils sa;csa.nlcyed, c.n his
persistent questioning excited thea of
burly saloon keeperof the Ninth ward
The man struck Jim in the face with
his clenched fist. The next instant the
assailant was stretched upon the floor 81
fiat as founder, for Jim had struck
back with his wooden arm. The saloon
keeper picked himself up, exclaiming:
swell, that fellow has the hardest
and heaviest fist that ever came across
It is like a sledge-hammer, and he
could knock down an OK with it."
81 am really sorry that bit you SC
hard, rejoined the kind hearted Nc
Clelland "but the fact is there is O
spring in this wooden arm Of mine that
works automatically, and whenever ]
get mad or am insulted that spring
begins to work and the first 1 know ]

The Wind as a Motive Power.

Turning, now, to sources of energy
derived from sun-heat, let us take the
wind first When we look at the regis
ter Of British shipping and see 10000
vessels, of which about 10000 are
steamers and 10000 sailing-ships, and
when we think how vast an absolute
amount Of horsepower is developed by
the engines of those steamers, and how
considerable proportion it forms of
the whole horse power taken from coal
annually in the whole world at the
present time, and when We consider the
sailing ships of other nations, which
must be reckoned in the account, and
throw in the little item of windmiIls,
we find that, even in the present day Of
steam ascendency, old-fashioned wind
still supplies large part Of all the
energy used by man. But, however
much we may regret the time when
Hoods young lady, visiting the fens OF
Lincolnshire at Christmas, and writing
to her dearest friend in London (both
sixty years old now if they are alive,
describes the delight of sitting in
bower and looking over the wintry plain
not desolate, because "windmills lend
additional animation to the scene" we
cannot shut our eyes to the fact of
lamentable decadence Ct wind-power.
Is this decadence permanent, or may
We hope that it is only temporary?
The subterranean coal-stores of the
world are becoming exhausted surely,
and not slowly, and the price OF GOAL is
upward bound-upward bound on The
whole, though no doubt it will have
its ups and downs in the future as
it has had In the past, aud as must
be the case in respect to every mark
etable commodity. When the coal is
all burned, Or long before it is all
burned, when there IS SO little Of it
LETT, and the coal l-mines from which that
little is to be excayated are SO distant
and deep and hot that its price to the
consumer is greatly higher than AZ
present, it is most probable that wind
mills or wind motors in some form Will
again be in the ascendant, and that
wind will do mans mechanical work, on
land least, in proportion comparable TO
its present doing Of work at sea-

The Coal Bug.

An entomologist has discovered what
the terms the coal bug or the elmer an
thayacitrs. Professor Otto Hechelmeyer,
who has been interviewed on the sub
ject by reporter Of the Philadelphia
Record makes the following startling
statement
He said that, taking the result Of
Professor Agassiz's discoveries in mid
ocean, whore he found that minute
corpuscles threw off their shells, and
these, growing together. formed i'm
mense deposits, it is not surprising that
Professor Rodagash, Of Stockholm,
whom we met in Gettingen last year,
should appear with new species Of bug,
which might be considered as descen-
dant Of the prehistoric tree bug and
which is now found in coal in great
quantities and threatens to undermine
many valuable coal beds. sit is very
noticeable, said Professor Hechelmeyer,
s'that the so-called coal dust is peculiar
on account Of its round appearance.
Upon examination with the microscope
it was found that these particles are
covered with millions of these cimer
anthrdcitIs Each one is about the size
OF the head of needle, fiat in appear
ance, aud are plentiful at the bottom
OF coal veins, from whence they work
their way to the top, making holes in
the mineral and rendering it almost
unfit for use. The male is of gray
black color, and has six spots on his
back. The female is broad and has
nine spots. But why these spots vary
in the sexes is something that has puz-
zled the scientific men who have ex-
amined them" The Professor went on
ut length to give description Of these
bugs and their evil propensities. He
said that coal oil was but another form
of these insects, but that in this liquid
state they had become crushed, and
those that escaped forced their way to
the surface, where they we're found.
"You have often noticed" said the Pro-
fessor, "that when coal is first placed
upon fire, or when it is ignited, there
is cracking, kissing noise, and pieces
fly about the CRATE or range. That's
caused by the death struggles Of these
insects. The more of these there are in
coal the quickerit il burns. Housekeepers
often wonder why it is that ono ton of
coal will last longer than another. The
cause of this is easily explained-one
has more Of the cimer anthrncitus in it
than the other" Boarding house keep
ers who purchase cheap coal pay half
for coal and the other half for load of
these awful insests as general thing.
Servant girls, stokers in fire rooms and
housewives cannot be too careful when
moving about coal pile, for if one Of
these minute creatures should get upon
rtIAir clothing OF flesh the former
\ would beSssssg eSsssgq into holes quicker than
by moths. When they S6Heec2me attached
to the skin Of person they burrow II
and, burying themselves, multiply fest
producing a white swelling, whicl
eventually results in a softening Of th
bones and horrible death. The only
method yet known to kill these bugs il
a coal pile is, sprinkle bucketful o
chloride Of lime solution over it, th,
proportion being about one bucket to /
ton OF coal.

The Last Of the Merrimac.

The Merrimac was lying off Tanners
Creek when the Confederates evacuated
Norfolk, and the orders we're to run her
up the James River. She was lightened
until her iron plates no longer protect
ed her bottom. and yet she drew too
much water for the river. She had no
pilot for any other river or harbor,
most Of her ballast was gone and it was
decided to destroy her.
The Merrimac was run ashore on
Craney Island, her crew landed, and
then Oliver, the gunner, set fire to her
and laid a powder train to her maga-
zine. All her guns and ammunition
were left aboard, and as the crew had q
long march before them most of them
left all baggage behind. Every gun
was loaded and in battery when Oliver
left, and the heavy doors of the maga-
zine were thrown wide open.
The crew had been on the march an
hour when the explosion took place.
just in the gray of morning there came
a terrible rumbling Of the earth, fol-
lowed by shock which made them
stagger. A column Of smoke and
flame shot up over the tree tops into
the clouds, and from this 6re-spout
came the distant boom of cannons dis
charged in mid-air, while shell shrieked
and Kissed in every direction. 4 mon
ster solid shot from one Of the big guns
whirled over four miles of space and
fell with an awful crash among the
pines ahead of the little band, and
they had seen the last Of the Mer1imac.
