FACTS AND COMMENTS.

An ingenious swindle has lately bee
exposed in London. 1t consists in ar
tistically coloring fish, meat and game
so that they appear to be of the finest
quality, and hawking them about the
streets at tempting prices. A fish thus
prepared, which had passed the inspec-
tion of wary housekeerer and an
expert cook, was dropped into the pot
as salmon of particularly aristocratic
hue and came out Goldfish of the most
plebeian type.

Rescued from Death.

The following statement of William
j. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of our readers. He says:
''In the fall of 1876 l was taken with
n violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. l soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. 1 was so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 | was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said 1 had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. l
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. l was SO far
gone at one time a report went around
that l was dead. l gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratii-
cation, 1 commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began TO revive,
and to-day L feel in better spirits than
1 have the past three years.
81 write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be- cured. / have taken two bot
ties, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines l have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared, and 1 shall loon be able to

Bombardment of the Earth.

'Its lucky for us that the earth has
such a good bomb-proof on the skyward
side" said the astronomer as he stood
on the roof, watching the meteors.
"Why?" asked the reporter, through
the scuttle-holc.
You'd have seen if You had been up
here with me for the last hour. WHY
the earth has been undergoing a regu-
lar bombardment. It's not over vet.
Look at that fellow, how he skins.
You would call it a shooting-star. Well,
there's as much reason for calling it a
celestial skell. That meteoroid was
moving twenty or thirty miles a second;
yet it could not get through the bomb
proof that protects the earth"
where's the bumb-proof?n
"Why, right under Your nose; it's tie
atmosphere. When the meteoroids
strike the air, the heat produced by
their tremendous velocity runs up a
million degrees a second, and in a
twinkle they are changed to vapor. II
they could get through the atmosphere,
no man could tell at what instant he
might be struck down by a shot from
the sky, for meteoroids are ~plunging in.
to the atmosphere millions a day for the
whole earth. The soft air is to most of
them as impenetrable as a wall Of steel.
Some are able to penetrate to the earth,
but they are few. When 3 meteoroid
strikes the earth, it is called an aerolite.
