Thus ended the bean trade, and de-

After ratious we're issued, there
would be a general meeting OF q
densely packed crowd, all trying to

Some would cry out, "Who will

"Who will trade wood for beans y
"Who will trade salt for wood 2"

The issue Of rations was often q

scIEHrIFIC MISCELLANY.

Compiled for the Chez enne Leader.
In researches upon the petroleums of
the Caucasus, U. Schu Z, MERGER has
observed That although conducted with
the utmost care, his analysis frequent
ly showed more thRn one hundred per
cent. Of matter. A like result was OBJ
tained with two other substances. Fol-
lowing up the investigation, he has
found that sodium aud copper appear
to 80 affect certain products as 10 pro
duce the anomaly observed; while II
the articles so affected are exposed for
u short time to sunlight, they give a
normal analysis. 1t IS suggested, as IA
possible explanation, that the weight of
atoms may vary within certain narrow
limits, aud that in the case of the n.y.
drocarbons it may be modified by the
action Of sodium or by light. If con-
nrmed, o. Schutzeuberger's discovery
will have an important bearing upon
the fundamental principles of chemical
science.
German measurements give the fol-
lowing as among the greatest daily
quantities of rainfall recorded inI
Europe. At Goldberg, Sept. 7, 1891
four inches of rain fell in seven hours|
At Breslau, Aug. 8, 1868, four and d

How An Artist treated His visitor


To the editor of the Salem Mass
Register: l would have accepted your
kind invitation to visit you in your new
quarters with pleasure, before this, had
not my old enemy, Mr.. Rheumatism,
bounced on me so suddenly. He ar
rived last Friday, and without stopping
TO send up his card, rushed In and
grasped me by the hand, with such II
grip that In a few hours my hand and
wrist were so badly swollen and painful
that | felt as though M OF Mr.. Hatch's
coal teams had run owe me Mr..
Rheumatism has been a constant visitor
of mine for several years; always swells
and puts on a great many airs, and
makes himself at home, d%evouring my
substance and leaving me poor in flesh
aud pocket. Last winter he came and
staid two months. L then made up my
mind that the next time he came |
would change his diet, as he has always
gobbled down everything set before
him. l was somewhat at IL loss what
to feed him with, but finally concluded
TO give him three square meals a day of
st Jacobs oil-morning noOn and night.
This fare he is disguised with, and Is
packing up HIS trunk and will leave by
to-morrow or next day; says be cannot
stop any longer as he has pressing bust
ness elsewhere. He is a t%reacherous
fellow, and L have no doubt he intends
visiting some Of orr Salem friends; II
he does just give him the same fare thai
did. and he won't stop long.
