SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The air of London during a fog is
found to contain u large excess Of car
bonic acid over the normal proportion.
Paul Marcoy has described u leaf Of the
giant water lily Victoria reyia) found in
Lake Nuna, Peru, as measuring "a feet
81 inches in circumference, and weighing
between Is and IA pounds. One of the
flowers WAS feet :: inches in crcum-
ference, and weighed 81 pounds. The
ontor petals were inches long.
Some valuable relics discovered at
Nincvah, in tho form of fine ivory
carvings, showed signs of crumbling on
arrival in England. Concluding that
loss of albnmen was the cause of the
decay, Prof. Owen boiled the articles
The experiment proved entirely success
fml, and the ivory was restored to it's
original iirmnrss and solisiity.
Remarkable wind prcs.u9es are ex-
perienccd in India. On October ;,tl, 1864,
two passenger trains, one of eight vehi-
Giles and the other of twelve. were upset
on the Eastern Bengal railway, all the
cars being overturned. Several cars
were started from sidings by the force of
she wind. On September p, 1873, long
train was travelling on the same railway
at Il speed Of abont eight miles an hour,
and was brought to a stauds.ill by a
heavy storm ana forced back about !.
mile with full steam and brakes against
it. IT was found difficult to proceed
notwithstanding half of The train. Instan-
ces of this kind are said to he frequent
on Indian railways.

THE SPONGE THROWN UP

Tie Baltimore .lmeTtcdn says that in
a speech made at Beair Oh Tuesday Gen.
Brady r. Johnson virtually threw up
the sponge as to chances of the Demo-
Gratis in the Congressional elections. This
was the more significant because Geuer-
al Johnson is not only an extreme Demo
crat, but was at that time addressing a
Democratic rally.
He is partisan--a Democratic partisan
and therefore, when he tells his fellow
Democrats that Maryland will at the
present elections send four Republicans
to Congress, and publishes this>speech
in Democratic paper. it becomes appar-
ent that Gen. Brady T. johnson is pret-
ty badly scared.
He has good reason to be scared, for
the split in the Democratic party has
now gone too far to be patched. The
party is completely disorganized, and q
restless demand for a change has gotten
into it. And just at this time the Dem
o,ratic ring has forced the nomination of
several unpopular men, such rs Talbot
in the Second district and Chapman in
the Fifth. On the other hand. the Re
publican nominations have excited enthu-
siasm. McComas is making a splendid
campaign in the Sixth district, and it is
conceded that Montgomery Blair has
very little chance. The district is now
represented by Republican. and will
again be represented by a Republican in
the next Congrtss. The election of Nc
Comas is set down in his district as a
certainty.
In the Second district Blair the Re-
publican candidate, harmoniZes the two
wings of the party. lie was the first
choice of both wings, and his own per-
sonal popularity superaaded to this would
make him at any time a formidable can.
didate. But Talbot is not only person
ally very unpopular in several parts Of
his district, but he represents the State
ring nomination in district in which
there is revolt against it-just as there
is in Baltimore city. The Stevenson
Archer split will loss Talbot a great
many Democratic votes. There does not
appear to be much chance for him.

THE POLITICAL VALUE OF THE
Jury SYSTEM.

is the jury system failure - asks
a contributor to this month Nrhtury;
and answers his own question i'll tl.c af-
frmative That there has been of late a
widespread dissatisfaction with the work
ing of the jury systom cannot be doubt
ed The cases in which a jury has diSa-
greed when, in the general opinion. it
should have rendered a verdict, have
been published and commented upon far
and wide. In this state of public opin-
ion, it is well to turn to some of the adj
vantages of this time-honored system,
and consider whether, with all its faults,
it could be superseded by anything bet
ter.
The advantages of trial by jury indi-
cially considered are ably set forth i'll
paper in the November North .Imerican.
The writer shows, probably to the salts
faction of most people, that substantial
Justice is better done by this system
than by any that is proposed instead OF
it. But, as that writer truly says
there is another side to the ease; the po-
litical advantages Of the system are fully
as great as the judicial. De Tocqueviiie
recognized this. and ID ade Il ST. iuu@ point
of it. lie regards the jury as the best
educator of the people III free lnsttu-
tions He says that the jury, i'll civil
eases especially, serves to c"mmunicat"
the spirit of the judges to all the citl-
Zens: that it imbues all classes with re-
spect for the Judged, and with TIE no
ton ef right and that, if these two ele-
ments be removed, the love of independ-
ence becomes a mere passion. 1t teaches
men to practice equity; every man learns
to Judge his neighbor as Ii, would him
self be judged. The jury teaches every
man not to recoil before the respensib,l-
ity of his own actions, and impresses
him with that manly confidence without
which no political virtue can exist. 1t
invests each citizen with a kind of mag
istracy; it makes them all feel the duties
which they are bound to discharge to-
wards society, and the part which they
take in its government. BY "hli2ing
men to turn their attent Oh to other az
fairs than their own, it rubs off that pri-
vate selfishness which is he rust of So
cety. NJ. De Tocqueviie considers that
| the practical intelligence and political
good sense of the Americans are mainly
attributable to the long use which they
have made of the jury in civil causes.
! 1t is not denied that abuses have grown
up within the system; that sometimes
the most ignorant and unfit men ale Sc
lected to try case; but these aliases are
not inherent in the system; the house can
be cleaned without burning it down. In
our opinion, at the first serious attempt
to do away with trial by jury. power
full reaction will set in in its favor. ana
the American people will never Z We mp
a system which has SO long been copsid-
cred one of the great bulwari;s of their

the crime and of the trial. 1t is seldom
that woman can be found depraved
enough to marry man whom she can
convict of MURDER and the Baltimore
prisoner found that although the witness
against him was willing to become his
wife, no minister was available who would
consent to marry them. The selfrespect
of woman, ministers and magistrates may
usually be relied upon to thwart marriage
for the purpose of stopping a witness,
mouth, but the legislation we suggest
would prevent all such schemes, with
out interfering with laws established FOR
the protection of the confidence Of the
marriage state.

Dip 1T PAY?" is the query of Philadc-
phians concerning their bi-centennal eel
ebrxtion last week. 1t is considered with
in bounds to estimate the number of
strangers who attended it at 800, 000 and
it is believed that they expended not less
than an average of $40 each, making a
total of s3,000,000. The merchants re-
port that their business suffered on the
first day of the celebration, but trade was
good on the other three days. Some of
them who did not effect their usual sales
believe that the crowds who visited their
stores will return as customers, and SO
the celebration will be profitable as an aid
in advertising. But the hotels, restau-
rants, and places of amusement did
tremendous business, as did all the rail
ways entering the city, ferry companies

A COLLISION OF COMET AND SUN.

Ie WAS Sir Isaac Newton who first pre-
dicted that a comet would fall into the sun
increasing the heat of the latter SO much
that the earth would be burned up. Prof.
Proctor now predicts that Il collision be
tween the sun and comet will occur
very soon perhaps before Christmas. He
believes that the great comet which has
been so brilliant during the present month
is indentical with that of 1868, and 1850,
its time of circulation having been re-
duced from 1so years to thirty-seven and
then to less than three. He regards the
comet as so near the end of its career
that its next and last circulation will be
accomplished in about three months,
hurting it against the face of the sun at
speed of 200 miles per second. But al
though Prof. Proctor has heretofore de-
clared that the result of such a collision
would probably be fatal To the earth, he
processes to have discovered recent evil
dence that the substance of comets is so
much lass in magnitude than was former
ly belived that no disastrous consequences
to the sun or to the earth are to be ap-
pretended, however much the comet may
suffer from the collision. Much heat may
be generated, and the approaching win.
ter may be phenomenally warm, but the
end Of the world is not to be expected.
Prof. Proctor's oracular utterence is di-
verting, but its chief value is the intinla
tion it gives Of the ignorance of the best
astronomers as to the power and future
movements of comets Prof. Proctor has
leaped from one antipode to the other So
readily in his estimate Of the effect Of 4
collision between tie sun and II comet
that the conclusion is irresistible that
while his opinion in the matter is inter
esting, Ii has no great value.
