vhc New Scientific American offices

We are glad to announce that the
Scientific american came out Of the late
fire in New York, like the tabled Phoenix,
with renewed life. The subscription
lists, account books, patent records,
paieu, drawings, agdl correspondence
were preserved In massive 1fe-prooi
safes. The printing Of the Scientific
american and Suppliment was done in
another building; consequently the types,
plates, presses, paper, ETC., were unharm-
ed, and no interruption of business was
accustomed.
The new Scientific american offices are
located at 26l Broadway, corner of War
rep Street, Il very central and excellent
situation. Here, in addition to the lssu-
ing Of their interesting publications,
Messrs. Mum & Co., aided by trained
examiners and draughtsmen, prepare
specifications and drawings for American
and Foreign patents. Ifany Of our read
ers should happen to make new discov-
cry 1--WE hope every one Of them may do
so, and gain fortune), they have only to
drop line to Mum Co., 261 Broadway,
New York, who will reply at once, with
out charge, stating whether the invention
is probably novel and patentable. A
handbook Of instructions, with full par
ticulars, will also be sent, free. Messrs.
Mum & Co. have already had over thirty
five years experience in the business.

Earl died in loo, aged thirty-nine, and
unmarried; and Is there were no Cour-
tenays left who were at all nearly re-

to be extinct, and was not claimed.
More than two centuries and half
afterward, however. in 1881. it was
proved to the satisfaction of the House
of Lords that William. third Viscount
Courtenay. was entitled to the Earldom
of Devon. as heir general OF the Earl

of non-claim. had been, not extinct,
but dormant; and seven of the Cour-
tenays who lived and died in that inter-
val are reckoned now as rishful heirs OF

RELATIONSHIPS.

That there are minds so constituted
as to be unable to understand any de-
grees of relationship beyond the family
circle of father, mother, brothers and
sisters We can gather some evidence
from our own experience. Never shall
we forget the attempts made by party
of collegians, many years ago. to ex-
plain to lady at a cupper-table the old
puzzle: IF Dicks father is Johns son,
what relation is Dick to John?" She
really tried her best, but utterly failed
to grasp the problem. Much assistance
was offered in the shape of a decanter
and wine-glass TO represent ''Dick"
and John" and the lady's voice might
have been heard, amid all the din and
clatter, exclaiming seriously, and in n
tone of remoEstrance: "Do you mean
to tell me that that wine-glass is the
grandfather of that decanter?" But it
was all in vain. The attempt to con-
vince the good lady had to be aban-
doned. The intricate mathematical in
vestigation was beyond her powers.
There are also persons who have new
err given their minds to problems Of this
kind. and to whom anything outside Of
their own narrow experience presents a
difficulty.
The number of people who under
stand the terms "first cousin" "sec-
ond cousin" 81 first cousin once re-
moved" etc. is very small. Probably
many of those who read these lines i'm
aginc that first cousin once re-
moved" etc. is the same as a "sec-
ond cousin;' and still more carry on
the transactions of life under mistaken
notion that if MARY is first cousin
once removed TO. say. tom" then
Tom isalso First cousin once removed"

illusions. f-'t'fe
