SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

It is suggested by Herr Dueberg
the side invisible to the earth, the
water and the atmosphere being drawn
thither by the effects of gravitation.
The electric light in the lighthouse
at Sydney, N. S. W., will be the largest
of the kind in the world. The merging
beam is said to have a luminous in
tensity exceeding 100000 candles.
Russia has had this year weather so
dry and hot that the rivers have fallen
very low, and even in the Volga and
Dwina navigation has been attended
with serious difficulties, as in some
places they are very shallow.
In paper before the American As
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence, DR.. Haughton, of Dublin, dis
agreed with those geologists who be-
lieve the earth and moon have
been gradually cooled from an in
tensely heated liquid mass to their
present state. According to his views,
the moon formed part of the earth at
remote period-as calculated by Mr..

cation of separated masses Of meteoric

The cause Of malarial disease is said
to have been discovered by Professor
Laveran, French physician at Val
de-Grace. 1t is a very minute organ
ism, named by him Oscillaria malari@.
NJ. Richard who announced the dis
covery in the French Academy of
Science, has found the microbes in all
the fever patients of the Phillippeville
hospital in Algeria These are To-
Gated in the red blood corpuscles and
completely destroyed their contents.
They can easily be rendered visible by
treatment with acetic acid, but other
wise it is difficult to detect them in
the corpuscles. They look like neck
lace of black beads, with one or more
projections, which penetrate the cell Of
the corpuscle and oscillate or move
like whips.

At. Stewards Body.

Talking to a New York detective Of
ficer to-day, says correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, L asked him
what had become Of the body Of A. Z
Stewart.
"The best information / possess,
said he, sis that it has not only never
been recovered by the family and eX-
ecutors, but that it is not now in pos
session Of the original thieves"
"Wen, wholgot it from them?" said l.
at is the understanding at police
headquarters" said he, "that a second
band of thieves, thinkingthe body was
a good thing, stole it from the first.
Probably some of the persons privy to
the robbery took the body away from
those who had been at the pains to dig
it up and spirit it off"
"Well, how was Mrs. Stewart ap-
peased?"
"Why," said the officer, {" 1 suppose
she thinks that the bones have been
recovered She either thinks they have
been recovered, or does not inquire
concerning them. The fact is" said
my friend, "that after the
robbery of that grave, it
became a question among numerous
wealthy persons in New York what to
do to prevent a spoIation of other
tombs of the same class. You know
that Immediately after the robbery in
st. Marks churchyard the tomb of the
Vanderbilts at Staten Island, was
watched, and so were several other
tombs of conspicuous persons. They
all got tired of paying special watch
men, because it looked as if they might
have to watch the tomb for period of
years, and every rich man that died
would require two live ones to look
after his bones-a thing not very pal
atable to heirs. Consequently a notice
was sent to Judge Hilton that he
ought not to pay any reward for the
return of Stewards bones, whether
Mrs. Stewart wanted to do so OF not.
The understanding is that Judge Hill
ton and other gentlemen paciied Mrs.
Stewart in some way. You know the
coffin of Stewart was not carried off
by the thieves at ALL they merely took
the plate from the top and a piece of
the cloth, and took out the body, so we
presume that the coffin has been set in
the new cathedral at Garden City,
without the real bones, but nobody
wanted to look into it.

HEALTH HINTS.

Alcohol introduced into the blood
changes its constituent elements and
also impairs the integrity Of the blood
vessels.
Wheat, made into bread, puddings,
ETC., will make more muscle twice
over, pound for pound, than fat meat

Sudden deaths do not come from
heart disease, one case in twenty, but
from congestion of the lungs or brain,
or from apoplexy. More die from con-
gestion of the lungs than of the brain,
and more Of congestion of the brain
than from apoplexy.
A severe cold can be soonest cured
by remaining within doors, in warm
room and near the fire, until all signs
of it have disappeared. Then care
should be taken to prevent a relapse
by having the feet warmly clad, and
the whole body, and particularly the
chest and the back of the neck, well
protected when going out.
Ringworm is not an animal but a
vegetable parasite that can best be
destroyed by the use of boracic acid,
or of citrine ointment-the latter
being an officinal preparation kept by
all druggists. The citrine ointment is
caustic preparation that must be
applied with extreme care, and not
left carelessly around the house.-Dr.

TRANSMISSION Of Blood.

A touching instance of maternal
affection is recorded in a recent num-
Der of medical journal by Man
chester physician. DR.. William Walter,
of that city, was sent for to attend
young lady who was dying from the
effects of severe hemorrhage. When
the doctor arrived his patient was
lying still and unconscious her face
and lips were blanched her eyes had
assumed that dull and lifeless appear
ance which only death, or its near APP
proach, can produce. Respiration was
scarcely perceivable, and the pulse could
only at intervals be felt. DIR. Walter,
whose experience of such cases is great,
knew at once that there was only
one chance for her, viz, TRANSMISSION
IF blood from the arm of healthy
person to the blanched limb of the
moribund. The lady's husband cheer
fully consented to give his blood to
save his wife, but the mother would
not hear of it. Although she knew
the risk attending the operation, she
begged to be the donor Doctors are
not all made of cast iron, and this one
could not resist the entreaties of that
loving mother who offered her life's
blood at any cost to save her darling
child. While DR.. Walker was perform
ing venesection on the mother in an
adjoining room, and before he had time
to collect more than four ounces of
blood, his assistant acquainted
him that his patient was ap-
parently lifeless. Who can de
pict the agony endured by husband and
mother during thenext fifteen minutes?
The physician hurried to the bedroom
to prepare the lady's arm for the re-
ception of the blood. He found vein
NOT without great difliculty-isolated
it from the surrounding tissues, made
a small opening in its walls, and in
serted the silver nozzle of the injecting
apparatus. In from ten to twelve
minutes all the blood was injected, and
almost Immediately respiration became
distinctly visible and audible the
pulse returned To the wrist, and in the
course of a quarter of an hour the in
sensibility gave way to consciousness,
and she was able to recognize her
friends. Her conYalescencew was steady
and uncomplicated, apd within a
month she was able to walk out of
doors.

The adulteration in drugs that is
said to be going on is matter of
serious import, and the London SGtur-
dag ReUie1O discusses it as follows.
"It is astonishing how little suspicious
even suspicious people are of the drugs
they take when they are i'll. They are
quite alive to the prevalence Of adul-
teration in other trades, but they will
swallow medicines hastily fetched
from the nearest chemists without SO
much as a misgiving that they are not
in all respects what they profess to be.
Yet in nothing is adulteration so easy
and so profitable as in drugs. The
taste will some times do something
toward detecting it in articles of food,
bu. in medicines the taste is almost
pOwerless. The patient classes the
remedies he is condemned to take
under the general heads of nauseous
and not nauseous, and he does not care
to draw any finer distinctions. Genu-
inc drugs are often extremely costly,
so that the gains which can
be made by substituting other
substances for them may easily be
very large. Yet in no trade are the
effects of adulteration so disastrous as
in that of the druggist. Adulterated
food or drink may sometimes provoke
disease, but adulterated drugs are use
less to cure it.. 1t is impossible to say
in how many cases deaths have been
set to the violence of the malady or to
want of skill on the part of the doctor
which have really been caused by
worthless medicines. The doctor or
dered the medicines he thought appro-
pirate, and if actually administered
these remedies would probably have
been sufficient to check the course of
the disease. But what was admins
tered was not these remedies, but
counterfeit of them, and, though the
patient did not detect the difference,
the disease did, and the patient died.
How to insure that drugs shall be
what they profess to be is one Of the
most important problems in practical
medicine, and one to the solution of
which very few contributions have
yet been made.

Rest win be sweet in the evening, when the
days long labor is done
Now, must be up and doing, for my work
is scarce begun
Peace may be dear to the veteran, grown
weary of wars alarms-
But now I'm longing for battle, the clash
and the clang of arms
Death by and by will be welcome, IL have
been faithful and true-
Now, there is life to be lived, and have SO
much to do
Once, in the early morning, when thaIFews
were not yet dry,
In the misty summer morning, or ever the
sun was high,
As looked along the road whereby I must
presently so,
AID saw how great was the journey, how
fercely the moon would glow,
Life felt too heavy burden, and so weary
and worn,
Weary before had labored, and longing for
night at morn.
Weary before had labored; but labor has
brought me rest,
And now am only eager TO do my work
with the best.
What right have I to be weary, when my work
is scarce begun2
What right have l to be weary, while aught
remains to be done
shall be weary at even, and rest will the
sweeter be;
And blessed will peace be to them that have
avon the victory
But now is the time for battle-now would
strive with the best;
Now is the time for labor hereafter re-
maineth a rest.

The magnificent Yellowstone park
is in danger of being rapidly destroyed
and its natural beauties defaced by
wantonness and vandalism, unless the
government steps in to protect it, 1t
is said that the first thing the foreigner
does after registering at the Brevoort
house is to start for the Yellowstone
Park and needlessly shoot down scores
of its large game-deer, buffaloes,
bears, antelope and mountain sheep.
Nor are foreigners always the chief
sinners in this respect. Many of the
most famous Yellowstone geysers have
already been ruined by people who
amuse themselves by hurling immense
trunks of pine trees into them in order
to see the water force them high in the
air. In many cases these logs have
stuck in the water apertures, and have
completely stopped the spouting. In
Wyoming the people are taking steps
to put a stop to such vandalism, and
the wholesale slaughter of butfaloes
and other game by tourists.

IN A COAT POCKET.

Ashley Cowper, hat in hand, was
just turning the handle Of the street
door, when soft call from the stair
top made him pause.
"Are you going to the postofice,
AstleyP"
"No, not exactly, but near it. Is
there anything you want done?"
"Only this letter to post" and al
girlish shape fitted down the stairs.
Ashley watched her as she descended,
and with suddenly sharpened recogni-
tion of the fact, said to himself, "what

Brothers are not always so alive to
their sisters charms, but the fact was
that rarely in her life had Rosamond

beauty as that moment when she came
down the old stair case, letter in hand;
her cheeks flushed with the deepest
pink; her eyes shining, and her red
lips parted with l know not what

Two ing braids of pale brown hair,
thick and glossy as those of German
Gretchen, hung down her back. On
the fair forehead clustered a fringe of
light waving rings, not cut and trained
after the manner of the conventional
bang, bat a happy freak of nature and
accident.
The slender figure in its white dress
had all the rounded grace of youth
and perfect health. Over all was an
air of virginia. freshness, indescribable
but charming. 1t was one of those

most young creatures.

FACTS AND COMMENTS.

Half of life of sixty years spent
IN the Eastern penitcntiary at Phila-
delphia by Jack Canter, one of the
most expert forgers in the country,
has come to an end. Having brushed
his thin gray hair and his mustache,
he called for his shoes and broadcloth
suit. The insatiate moth, however,
had riddled the overgaiters and feasted
royalty on the garments. He had to
buy new outfit, which he was well
able to do, as he had a credit of several
thousand dollars with the warden.
When the new clothes and carriage
came he shook hands with the gate
keepers, stepped into the carriage and
drove away to a prominent hotel.
Some say he has $4,000, and some say
more, with which to sustain his new
station as private gentleman. He is
well educated, writes and speaks
several languages, and has travelled
great deal and mingled in good society
The United States expend $94,000,-
600 a year upon education. The
figures from all the States and Terri
tories have been collated from official
sources by the bureau of education at
Washington, and various other inter
esting items are included in the great
statement. In 244 cities, each with
more than $500 inhabitants, there is
a school population of 1861, ,498, with
an average daily attendance of 1,105,-
763, and an aggregate annual expend-
iture of more than $25,000,000. The
city of New York heads the list, with
3S5,000 children of school age, of
whom 270,176 are enrolled in 1877
schools; the annual expenditure being
in round numbers $3,400,000. There
are in the different States 220 normal
schools, 162 business colleges, 232
kindergartens, 227 colleges in which
women are received, 83 scientific
schools, 142 schools of theology and
120 medical colleges and schools.
The French tobacco monopoly, If
not renewed, will expire next January.
AS it has been profitable source of
revenue the authorities are likely to
do everything in their power to eX-
tend it. Minister. Fish, at Brussels,
who gives in the consular reports
some interesting information about
, the monopoly, points out that this fact
is shown in the request made in the
French budget for 1888, that a credit
of 62,227,1 francs is asked for to
pay the expenses of working the to-
bacco monopoly. AT present the mo-
nopoly gives employment to 22,225
persons, 1,649 men and 20,576 women,
who receive about $3,000,O0O per an
mum in wages. The consumption of
tobacco has increased from 33,545, ,459
Kilograms in 1880 to 34,181,917 kilo-
grams in 1881, or 636,456 Kilograms in
one year. The value OF the consump-
ton has increased from $65,040,341 in
1880 to $68, 640,939 in 1881, or $3,71O,-
558 in a single year. The estimated
net revenue in 1883 is placed at $751;
100000.
