Measuring the Perspiration.

By means of apparatus constructed
specially for the purpose it has been
found practicable to measure the amount
OF prespiration in different portions of
the human body. 1t is also found that
the most important element in reference
to the atmosphere, in this connection,
is its relative humidity-an increase Of
this relative humidity corresponding to
decided diminution in the quantity of
perspiration. Of less Importance is the
influence of temperature, an increase of
this acting not SO much directly by in
creasing the capacity of the air for
moisture as it does indirectly, by first of
all bringing about some changes in the
skin, increasing the supply of water at
the surface whence the evaporation takes
place. The clothed arm is found to be
subject to variations in the amount of
perspiration, which are dependent upon
the exterior influences of the air, as is
the case with the naked arm; clothing,
In fact, does not diminish, but rather
favors, the evaporation of water from
the surface of the body.

A Town That Was.

There is something pathetic in the
touch of destiny which rules the exist
ence Of ali oil-country towns, and which
causes the best work of an old mans life
to 60 down to oblivion after the lapse of
few years. There was grim sarcasm
in the push and energy and life of an OIL
region city in the height of its brief
glory. Pithole, in Venango county, is a
striking illustration Of this irony of fate.
Twenty years ago the site of Pithole was
covered with wheat-felds, and TO-DAY
waving corn and wheat and wild flowers
cover the same spot. But between that
day and this there arose one of the most
remarkable cities the world has ever
seen. Twenty thousand people gathered
here in single year, and, when the
great oil wells failed to pour out tor
rent of wealth, the gaudy theaters
closed, the mammoth hotels became ten
antless and the churches lost their wor.
shippers. Banks, newspapers, stores
and offices ceased to exist almost as sud.
denly as they were called into being, and
the light and life of the famous city went
out forever. To-day there is but one
voter in Pithole.

Worlds With Double Suns,

1t has now been ascertained that many
planets in the universe are illuminated
by two SUNS. While astronomers are
certain of the fact, they are puzzled to
account for the orbits of these planets,
which must describe irregular courses in
their revolutions. The SUNS are often
very different in their appearance, often
one is yellow and the other purple. It
follows that sunrises and sunsets on such
planets must be far more beautiful than
here on this earth. The blending of diff
ferent solar rays must give rise to many
varied phenomena of the natural forces
not known to us. In such solar systems
light, heat and electricity must assume
new phases. As yet we are ignorant of
some of the deeper mysteries of the
starry heavens, but it is wonderful how
much man has found out about the dis
tant stars.

The Grave of Henry CIay.

Being in the city of Lexington, KY,
some time since, availed myself OF
the opportunity to visit the last resting
place OF our illustrious and much be-
loved countryman, Henry Clay. It
was a bright, balmy day upon which
started upon my pilgrimage, and walk
ing out of the principal thoroughfare of
the city soon arrived at the suburbs,
where [ found myself confronting a
stately gateway, upon the arch of which
was engraved "The City of the Dead :"
passing through the gate I entered as
pretty spot, will venture to say, as
there is dedicated to the dead in this
country. The ground is gently undulat-
ing, and, consistingof hillock and hollow,
shows with picturesque effect the hum
Die marble maidstone and more reten-
tlous monument and tomb. Continuing
on the road that leads from the gate to
branch that sweeps off to the left and
following this for few PAGES I stood in
front OF the object of my visit. Upon
the top Of mound of earth covered with
greensward is large square tomb.
This is divided by partition running
across the center into two compartments.
and IN the front one of these can be seen
through an iron-barred door, living
lengthwise, white marble casket, upon
which are carved in relief some of our
national emblems. This contains,
suppose, a metallic coffin within which
lies all that remains of the great COM
moner. Engraved on the side of the
casket are the followingnoble sentiments.

that now dismembered body was flushed

true interests of my country"
