SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Experiments conducted between
Munich and Miesbach have proved con-
clusively that electrical energy capable
of being converted into motive power
can be sent over an ordinary telegraph
wire.
Captain Webb seems TO think that
the use Of porpoise oil rubbed all over
the body and even the face prevents the
chilling action of cold water affecting
the vital parts of swimmers who re-
main long time in the water. All
professionals, he says, now use oil.
Artificial ivory of pure white color
and very durable has lately been made
by the inventor of celluloid. 1t is pre-
pared by dissolving shellac in ammo
mia, mixing the solution with oxide Of
zinc, driving off the ammonia by heat
ing, and afterward powdering the resi-
due and strongly COMPRISING it in
molds.
F. J. Faraday is inclined to the be-
lief that the breathing of air devoid Of
the usual quantity Of oxygen is apt to
develop germs otherwise harmless into
those which produce consumption. AS
giving support to his hypothesis he
cites the decrease of consumption in
well-ventilated barracks, and the re-
lief afforded to patients by sea voy-
ages, the air of pine woods and the in
halation of carbolic acid.
The new liability TO fire resulting
from the introduction of electric light
ing apparatus lends new interest to a
method of preparing the wire lately
brought to the attention of the French
Academy Of Sciences by M. Geoffroy.
A copper wire is insulated with asbestos
and threaded through a lead pipe. A
sample of the conductor of this wire
was entirely volatilized without affect
ing the leaden pipe in the slightest de-
gree, the volatilization taking place in
the fraction of a second.
After all, NJ. Faye mai stains there
is nothing very difficult about under
standing the reasons why comets
undergo sudden changes of form as
they approach or recede from the sun.
Two causes are assigned. First, solar
attraction tends to decompose bodies
of very small mass and great bulk
when they come within its influence.
And comets are concededly very light
in comparison with the quantity of
matter they contain. Secondly, there
comes into play the action of solar re-
pulsion, which arises from heincandes-
cence of cometary materials when
freed from great pressure and subjected

theories do not appear to cover the
whole ground.

WISE WORDS.

A mans life is an appendix to his
heart.
Sorrow is not a blessing until it
turns to joy.
The more an idea is developed, the
more concise becomes its expression;
the more tree is pruned, the better is
the fruit.
Our notions Of life are much the
same as they are about traveling-there
is good deal of amusement on the
road, but after all, one wants to be at
rest.
We learn wisdom from failure more
than from success; we often discover
what will do by finding out what viii
not do, and he who never made a mis-
take never made discovery.
The longer l live the more am
satisfied of two things: First, that
the truest lives are those that are cut
rose-diamond fashion, with many facets
answering to the many-planed aspects
of the world around them; secondly,
that society is always trying in some
way or other to grind us down to a
single fiat surface.
A mind, knowing itself and its own
proper powers and virtues, becomes
free and independent. 1t sees its him
ORANGES and distractions and finds
they are wholly from itself, and from
opinions wrongly conceived. The
more it conquers in this respect the
more it is it's own master, feels it's own
natural liberty and congratulates it
self on its own advancement and pros
perity.
1t is not always the value Of what
we lose that leave us so desolate. 1t
is what it was to us that makes us so
lost without it. 1t may have been
very insignificant in itself, but so
much to us that our hearts feel lonely,
lost without it. We are continually
looking, reaching out in the darkness
fora something. These strong affec-
tions of ours give us, we sometimes
think, more sadness than joy, yet they
Nre very necessary to us. They are to
us wat the leaves are TO our plants.

The Manufacture of Tiles.

Ties, but for practical purposes they

Ties. In weathering, the clay is
qread in layers of about two inches
thickness during winter, and each
aver is allowed the benefit of at least
ne nights frost before the succeeding
aver is put upon it.
Sometimes the process is affected by
sunshine. The comminuted clay is

Farewell.

Come not to my grave with your moufninRs.
With your lamentations and tears,
With your sad forebodings and fearsi
When my lips are dumb,
Do not come
Bring no long train of carriages,
No hearse crowned with waving plumes,
Which the gaunt glory of Death illumesi
But with hands on my breast
Let me rest.
If, in my fair youth time, attended
By hope and delight every day,
could spurn the sweet baseness of clay,
Can you honor me, try
Till you die.
Insult not my dust with your pity,
Ye who're left on this desolate shore,
Still to suffer and lose and deplore--
'Tis should, as 1 do,
Pity you.
For me no more are the hardships,
The bitterness, heartaches and strife,
The sadness and sorrow of life,
But the glory divine
This is mine!
Poor creatures Afraid of the darkness,
Who groan at the anguish to come.
How silent 1 go to my home
Cease your sorrewful bell;
l am well.

coat Of arms worked on the breast
OF an American eagle with pinions
outspread, and the national oolors in
its beak. This covers the entire breast,
from armpit to armpit, and from throat
downward. Both arms are literally
covered with designs Of beasts, birds
and flowers. The lower limbs are also
ornamented, one with the "Cruci6xion
of Christ, and the other with the
shamrock, harp of Erin and other de
signs. Each knee. cap looks like a full
blown rose, with its vivid coloring and
almost perfect imitation of that flower.
The remainder of his body is similarly
decorated, over five months being oc-
cupied in the process, and consider.

Of the finest velvet, and he said that he

He has tried to eradicate the designs
on his hands by burning, but without
avail.
