ONE Of the old veterans of Wall street was
the other day giving some fatherly advice to
one OF his sons about to be married, and in
closing his sermon he said: "Directly after
the ceremony there will be q banquet, of
course. When your wife turns over her plate
she will find check for $50 900 under it,
"Do you think soa'' sob, know it. That's
the prevailing style nowadays. The check
will be passed around and finally given to you
money on It'll" "Oh, no, you won't" "Why
mott" because there won't be any to draw.
Don't make dolt Of yourself BY rushing to
the bank" "But thought" mo matter
what you thought. Save the check to frame
and hang up When l was married thirty
years ago nay wife found one under her plate
I've got 1t yet. I thought too much Of her
father to mortify his feelings and know he
has always respected me for it. That's all
my SON. Hyou run short on your bridal tour
you can send q telegram to me."-DetroSt

Carpet Beetles.

The carpet-beetle is one of the worst,
most destructive, and difficult to over
come of all household insects. 1t was
introduced into the United States from
Europe, and is sometimes miscalled the
ssBuffalo MOTH" probably from the fact,
one author claims, it was first noticed as
I destructive in this country at Buffalo,
N. Y. 1t has not yet, that we are aware
of, made its appearance in Iowa, but is
likely at any time to become an unwel-
come and troublesome visitant.
1t is claimed (and we are thankful to
say we have not yet come into practical
personal contact with this beetle, and
that our knowledge of it is gained from
others) 'that it has been known to cut
3 carpet into strips from end to end as
clean and straight as if it had been cut
by sharp knife or scissors" 1t also
destroys furs, wooden clothes, leather,
dried plants and preserved animals. 1t
does all the damage in the larva or worm
state. The Iarva is described as being
nearly one quarter of an inch long, with
six legs, and running nimbly. If turned
upon its back it will spring upward to
regain its feet just like the big black
swapping beetle with which so many of
the boys are acquainted. cit is of
brownish color, appearing as if branded
in two shades, the darkest being the
central portion of each ring" The
beetle is about one-twelfth of an inch
long, black marked with red and white,
and has been found to live upon the
pollen of the spiraea blossoms. The
female beetles enter the house, deposit
their eggs along the edges of the carpets
Or other wooden goods, although pos
sessing a Partially for carpets. The
larve or worms hatch, and nature form
ing the pupe within their larval skins,
from which the beetles emerge and
leave the house, the females only re-
entering.
In some parts of the country it has
become so troublesome that carpets have
had to be dispensed with and mattings
used in their place. Most of the common
remedies are Intellectual, but it is said
that cotton, saturated with benzine or
kerosene, stuffed into the Jennings of
floors and crevices beneath base boards
during the winter months, will destroy
them. Benzine is the more preferable
to use, because it will not soil the car
pets; but it is so extremely inf1ammable
that its use is dangerous. Boiling hot
water is effectual. 1t seems to US, if the
larv;e were working in a carpet, they
could be steamed to death by wetting a
cloth, laying it on the carpet and then
ironing with a hot iron, in the same
manner as plaitings are pressed

Trem0rs of the Earth.

The London Times publishes a synop-
sis of some papers on the 'stremors of
the EARTH" by the committee appointed
to measure the lunar disturbance of
gravity, and by Mr.. G. Darwin, which
contains some statements new to the
public. 1t is considered proved by the
men of science engaged that the crust of
the earth bends under the weights inn
posed on it, till "when the barometer
rises an inch over a land area like that
of Australia, the increased load of air
sinks the entire continent two or three
inches below the normal level" The
land actually sinks and rises under the
pressure of the mass of water thrown
upon it by the tides, the maximum of
rise and fall on the Atlantic seaboard
reaching five inches. This effect is felt
at the bottom of the deepest mine, and
may reach for an unknown distance. 1t
follows that the crust of the earth must
be of exceeding tenacity, exceeding as a
minimum that of granite; and its
swayings may be the causes of phe-
hitherto quite unexplained, as,
for example, the relation between storm
and earthquake. So universal, fire.
quent, and unavoidable are these dis
turbances that the inquiry into the lunar
of gravity has been given
up. No depth can be found at which a
recording instrument can be placed 80
Is to escape their effect. The round
earth pants, in fact, like breathing be-
ing, under the changes always going on
above her.

Some experiments have been made
at Salem, Mass, to ascertain the tractive
force requisite to move street-cars and
vehicles on q macadAmized road. The
apparatus used consisted of an inclined
plane, at the upper end of which was
an iron wheel, over which passed q rope.
A loaded box-car, weighing, with its
contents, 1880 pounds, was drawn up
the grade by a weight of $40 pounds
suspended at the other end of the rope.
A smaller car, weighing when empty
$3.50 pounds, was occupied by fourteen
persons, and drawn up by 339 pounds,
and when unoccupied by 176 pounds.
An ordinary load of sand on a macad-
amized road was started by 514 pounds,
and an empty hack, weighing 1850
pounds, by 1876 pounds; the same hack
with four passengers inside required
230 pounds to move it. On level road,
the load of sand was started by 24O
pounds, while the large box-car yielded
to Sc pounds.-N. Y. Sun.

Cyclone Phenomena.

DIR. Andres, of the Wilhelmshaven
Observatory, has recently revived in an
Austrian meteorological journal the
theory of cyclones which refers their
origin and translation to the upper at
mospheric currents. This important de-
duction, though not original with M.
Faye, of France, was forcibly put forth
by the latter scientist in 1877, who, in
presenting DR.. Andres views to the
Paris Academy of Sciences, on the 14th
ult., strongly sustains the formers con-
clusions. These are, in brief, that
cyclones, tornadoes and trombes are the
same mechanical phenomena, differing
only in dimensions. and that the force
to which they are indebted for their pro-
pagation resides in the powerful cur
rents which hold sway above the earth.
In sustaining these views M. Faye ar
CUES from the records of American
storms and tornadoes that as their ra-
pidity of translation GOTTEN ''that of an
express train') is so great their progress
sive motion in regular tracks can not be
due to mere difference of barometric
pressure. These storms rush over the
sea or the continent, crushing houses
and roofing up trees in the twinkling of
an eye with the enormous velocities of
the aerial currents encountered by
aeronauts at high levels-velocities
which cloud observations prove some
times reach one hundred and twenty
miles an hour. There is certainly good
reason for the French Investigators con-
clusion that 'the storm is, as OR ma
chimes, simple organ for the transmits
sion of force-that is, gigantic instru-
ment which receives in the upper atmos-
phere the ns u1ra in its vast funnel"
M. Faye says:-"The public has learned
that storms are not generated here or
there; that they come to us from Ameri-
ca ON the day named, and that they are
not transient disturbances, but the dis
play of grand law of terrestrial me-
chanics, as fixed as the laws of celestial
mechanics" The origin of cyclones is
a confessed mystery with the bulk of
weather students. But if the suggestions
which this scientist and DR.. Andres
make lead meteorologists to practical
study of the cloud phenomena and other
indications of the high aerial strata in
stead of combining their observations to
the comparatively calm lower strata,
they would be in a position to give much
more timely and accurate storm warnings
and weather forecasts than are now pos
sible.. We live at the very bottom of the
aerial ocean, but in order to know the
lower air currents which affect US it is
as necessary to trace and track the up
ner currents as it is to gauge the Gulf
Stream in order to study the force and
of the polar stream which
underruns it on the floor of the Allan
tic.-N. ?. Herald.

There was an insurance of f1,OOO
on the life of Lamson, the American
murderer hanged in London, written by
the Scottish Widows Fund Assurance
Office. Immediately before Lamson's
conviction the policy was assigned abso-
lutely to Mr.. A. w. Mills, the solicitor
by whom he had been so zealously de-
tended, to cover the balance of the costs
in the defense. On the strength of q
decision in the House of Lords, payment
could have been refused, but the money
was paid.

Speaking of the almost exclusive
use of orange blossoms for bridal occa-
sions, the New York Euening Post says
there seems to be no good reason why
we should not be permitted to utilize
on less commonplace occasions these
sweet and beautiful flowers, nor why
they should be exclusively set apart for
the use OF women on that special and
particular occasion, which is not expect
ed and rarely desired to come more
than once in lifetime.
