Death From q Tooth.

The death of Miss Kate Stock, Of Toledo
from blood poisoning from an liberated
tooth, already announced in our columns,
was remarkable though not unpreceden-
ted one. The tooth had been filed with
an amalgam of mercury and tin, which fell
out. She supposed she had caught cold in
the tooth, and that wisdom tooth added
to the Inflammation; but her face speedily
swelled up to enormous proportions, the
glands under the jaw and tongue being in
volved, and sac appeared on the side Of
the face opposite tho tooth. This was
opened, the cavity Of the tooth thoroughly
disinfeeted, and the patient put
on stimulating diet, but all
to no purpose. The poison in
fected the whole system, and the
bones of the face became involved as high
up as the forehead, The flesh disappeared
from one side Of the face, and death final
ly came to the sufferers relief. 1t is sup
posed that her condition must have been
bad previous to the appearance Of the acute
symptoms.
The case is deemeda a very st1ang one, and
it is unusual but some of our, readers may
remember the death Of Mr.. Gardner, Of
Brooklyn, N. Y, year or two ago, under
similar circumstances. It was believed by
some that an arsenical application had has.
tened his death, but this theory was after
wards abandoned, and the result attributed,
as regarding Miss Stock, to blood poison

What can be Seen With Small Teles-
From Harper's Magazine for March.

From Harper's Magazine FOR March
The curiosity to see the heavenly bodies,
through great telescopes is SO wide spread
that we are apt TO forget how much can be
seen and done with small ones. The fact
is that large proportion of the astronomi-
cal observations of past time have been
made with what we should now regard as
very small instruments, and good deal OF
the solid astronomical work OF the present
time is done with meridion circles. the ap-
pertures Of which ordinarily range from
spicuous examples in recent times of how a
moderate e-slzed instrument may be utilized
is afforded by the discovery Of double
stars made by s. W. Burnham, of Chicago.
Provided with little six inch telescope, pro-
cured at his own expense from the Messrs.
CLARK, he has discovered double stars, so
difficult that they had es-
capped the scrutiny Of Maedler and the
Strives, and gained for himself one Of the
highest positions among the astronomers Of
the day engaged in the observations Of these
objects. It was with this little instrument
that on Mount Hamilton, Cal.-the site Of
the future great Lick Observstory-he dis
covers forty. eight new double stars which
had remained unnoticed by all previous OBJ
servers.
First among the objects which shows
beautifully through moderate instruments
stands the moon. People who want to see
the moon at an observatory generally make
the mistake of looking when the moon is full,
and asking to see il through the largest
telescope. Nothing can then tie made out
but brilliant blaze of light, mottled with
dark spots, and crossed By irregular bright
lines. The best time to view the moon Is
near or before the first quarter, or when
she is from three TO eight days old. The
last Quarter is, of cource equally favorable,
so far as seeing is concerned, only We must
be ND after midnight to see her in thatposi-
ton, Seen through three or four inch
telescope. day or two before the first
| quarter, about half an hour after sunset,
| and with magnifying power between 5U
| and 100, the moon is one of the most beau
| tiful objects in the heavens. Twilight
| softens her radiance so that the eyes is not
| dazzleG, as it will be when the sky is entire
| ly dark. The general aspect she then pre-
| sents is that OF q hemisphere of beautiful
| chased silver carved out in curious round
| patterns with more than human skill. II,
| however, one wishes to see the minute de-
tails of the lunar surface, in which many
| of our astronomers are now so deeply in
terested, he must use higher magnifying
| power. The general beautiful effect is
| then lessened, but more details are seen.
Still, it is hardly necessary to seek for Q
very large telescope for any investigation
| OF the lunar surface. I very much doub
whetuer any one has ever seen anything or
| the moon which could not be made out il
clear, steady atmosphere with ski inch
telescope Of the first class.

White Rock Peak, Of Buffalo Mountain,
in Tennessee, which recently fell with q
terrific crash, was about 15, 600 feet high,
and almost perpendicular cliff. 1t w
composed of white sandstone. Peop,e
who witnessed the fall described the scene
as awful in its character. 1t looked as il
the entire mass Of the mountain was fail-
ing. Rocks as large as houses were hurled
into the valley with terrible force. Trees
were uprooted and cut down as it they
were mere brittle hairs. With force that
made the ground shake the avalanche came
down the mountain side, carrying every
thing that stood in Its course for the dis
tance of mile. The catastrophe is attrib-
uted to the action OF the water, which, fill-
ing tho q .evioes and freezing year after
yesr, finally split the peak from the rest OF
the mountain.

A Dazed Fireman Causes an Accident.

A railroad accident, from most singular
cause which no railroad in the country could
have guarded against, occurred Monday night
at 1880. AT Watab, on the Northern Pacific,
Ne. IA freight train, south bound, was on the
siding, with switch properly thrown for the
main track, with signal lights set and showing
that everything was right. The engineer and
conductor had gone to lunch leaving the loco
motive in charge OF the fireman, as precau-
tionarv measure against any outside mischief.
After while, the whistle of the locomotive Of
the west b"und passenger train, that left st
Paul at 7:3O p. m sounded along the line
The fireman Of the freight engine, jumped and
ran to the switch aud under the full glare Of
the headlight of the passenger engine, threw
the switch over to the side, so that the passen-
ger locomotive went pell nell into the fieight.
or course there was q smash up OF engines and
some freight cars, but luckily none Of the
passengers were injured. What could have
prompted the fireman to open the switch is a
mystery. Possibly he was asleep and being
awakened by the whistle had q faint idea he
must do something to avert danger, at any

And the valley is bright with the sunset
Yet he plows aud whistles still.

Are all ablaze in the sun:

His summer days work Is done
And hear him carroling softly

While he turns the oxen away.
