The Color OF Water.
obtained

Two theories are advanced to explain
the blue color of water when seen in
large masses, one, held by Professor
Tyndall, being that small solid PARTICLES
suspended in the water do not reflect
the lower or red rays of the spectrum.
According to the other theory, the color
is due to the absorbent action of the
water itself on the white light before
and after reflection by these PARTICLES.
The results of experiments made by MIR.
John Aitken, and presented to the
Royal society, England, show that the
latter theory is probably the more
correct one. The greater the num-
ber of white rejecting particles
the greener the water appears
to he, and hence the gradual deepening
of the green to blue as the shore is left.
The waters of Lake Como owe their
darkness TO the absence Of rejecting
particles, as Mr.. Aitken ingeniously
proved by scattering inely-divided
chalk in the center of that lake, there
by producing very brilliant blue. The
brilliancy depends on the color of the
PARTICLES. Among coral reefs, which
are generally strewn with white sand,
the water also takes q very brilliant
blue or green. The dull tinge of Eng
lish waters is due to the dingy char
acter of the suspended silt but springs
have often bright color, owing TO the
whiteness of the chalk suspended in
them.

LincOIn,s Vision.

In the course of an article on the late
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, the New York
Herahx~e~ys: Nothing of moment oc-
cures interrupt the tranquility of
her man Esd existence until the Repub-
lican convention at Chicago, in June,
1860. After an exciting battle between
the two candidates, Governor Seward
and MIR. Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln had the
profound qualification of seeing her
prophecy of being the wife of Presi-
dent on fair way to verification. The
nomination of her husband was de-
clared unanimous, and the evening of
the day was indeed an eventful one in
Springfield. Crowds of excited people
thronged to Mr.. Lincoln's house and
warmly congratulated his wife. Just
after the election q singular circum.
stance occurred which once more
brought out the gift of prophecy which
Mrs. Lincoln possessed. Mr.. Lincoln
described it in the following language:
sit was after my election, when the
news had been coming in thick and fast
all day, and there had been great
'hurra, boys so that I was we'll tired
out, and went home to rest, throwing
myself upon lounge in my chamber.
Opposite to where lay was a bureau
with a swinging glass upon it, and,
looking in that glass, I saw myself re-
fected nearly at full length; but my
face, noticed, had two separate and
distinct images, the tip of the nose of
one being about three inches from the
tip of the other. I was a little both.
cred, perhaps startled. 1 got up and
looked in the glass, but the illusion
vanished. On lying down again I saw
it second time, palmer, if possible,
than before; and then noticed that
one of the faces was paler than the
other. I got up, and the thing melted
away, and went off, and in the excite.
ment of the hour forgot all about it
nearly, but not quite; for the thing
would once In while come up and give
me little pang, as though something
uncomfortable had happened. When
came home I told my wife about
it, and few days after 1
tried the experiment again,
when, sure enough, the thing came
back again but never succeeded in
bringing the ghost back after that,
though I once tried very industriously
to shov it to my wife, who was worried
about it somewhat. She thought it was
"a sign that was to be elected to a
second term OF Office, and that the
paleness of one of the faces was an
omen that should not see life through
the second term" MIR. Lincoln re-
garded the vision as an optical delusion,
caused by nervousness. His wife's
prophetic Interpretation of the circum-
stances, viewed in the light OF subse-
quent events, seems certainly most ex-
traordinary.

How to Treat Sunstroke.

A distinction of immense practical
Importance exists between heat-ex-
hsustion and heat-stroke, or coup de
soleil. 1t is much to be feared that
this difference too often passes unre-
garded, to the serious detriment of the
patient. Heat-exhaustion, as the term
implies, means a sudden anemia pro-
duced by work or muscular exercise in
high temperature. Heat-stroke,
or sun. stroke, signifies the sudden
access Of unconsciousness with high
febrile heat. In the former the
body Is cool, the skin moist or wet
with perspiration, the pulse small,
feeble and low in tension, the muscular
system relaxed, the pupil dilated, and
the mind feeble, but consciousness is
not lost or is restored after syncopal
state of brief duration. In the latter
there is profound unconsciousness, con-
tracted pupil, injected conjunctive, the
skin is hot and usually dry, the tenn
perature high, the pulse rapid, and
the muscular system often convulsed
and tending rather to rigidity. II the
case be one of heat-exhaustion
the patient will probably be
able to swallow. Repose in the shade
in the recumbent position, and few
drops of laudanum in tablespoonful
of whisky or brandy will quickly bring
about restoration. In the case OF true
heat-stroke the patient should be at
once removed to as cool spot as prao-
ticable, and should have cold water
thrown on him, be rubbed with pieces
of ice, and have ice applied to the head
and spine. Other medical remedies,
morphine, quinine and chloroform, are
mmended.-MedicdL NeuS.

Frightened.

The well-known safeguard against
smallpox, the honor of the discovery
of which is linked with the name of
DR.. Edward Jenner, has proved its
value by constant use through the
greater part of century. The enter
prising doctor was the first to prove
and establish vaccination as "prophy-
Tactic" of such wonderful benefit, but
it was a far more ignorant man who
applied it, and furnished the hint on
which the learned physician acted. A
medical writer in the Boston Herald
says:
cit is generally supposed that DR..
Jenner was the first person who at
tempted to perform the operation of
vaccination, and it is true that he inves-
tigated the matter and brought it itbefore
the public. Vaccination was, however,
performed by farmer in England some
fifteen years before DR.. Jenner at
tempted 1t. This man-who had the
temerity to vaccinate his children with
virus taken directly from the cows
stated to have been an able and dis
Greet person ordinarily, but this
rashness of his came very near
costing him his life. The pop
ular feeling was so strong against him
that he was obliged to leave the section
of the country in which he lived, and
his children were carefully guarded, as
it was expected they would exhibit
some of the chSracteristics of the ami
mails from which they had been vac
cinated. It was expected that horns
would appear upon their heads and hair
upon their bodies, but, of course, moth
ing happened to the children, and they
received no injury from the vaccination.
1t was this fact which probably first
called the attention of Jenner to the
subject OF vaccination. - Youths Com

Fasting in Acute Rheumatism.

DIR. Wood, professor of chemistry in

Medical Record a number of cases in

cured by fasting, usually from four to

to fast more than ten days. Less posi-

chronic rheumatism. The patients
we're allowed to drink freely of cold
water or lemonade in moderate quanti
ties il they preferred. No medicines
were given. DR.. Wood says that from
the quick and almost invariably good
results obtained by simple abstinence
from food in more than forty cases In

lieve that rheumatism Is, after all, only
aphase of indigestion, to be cured by
giving complete and continued rest to
