The Fox sisters of Rochester.

From the Rochester Democrat, Dec. 20.
Late English papers announce the death of r.
ID. Jencken. a London barTister. His death oc-
CURED November 20, after brief illness of three
days, at the age of 5S years. Mr.. Jencken was
a member OF the Royal Institution and Fellow
of the Royal Geographical Society Some 10 or
IL years age he married Katie Fox the Young
est Of the Fox sisters" with whom the 'Ro-
chester rappings" originated i'm lSiS. or nearly
"a years ago. Mr. Jeacken was believer in the
rapping phenomena some years before he he
came acquainted with Katie Fox. and whilethe
London Dialectical Society was investigating
the various magnetic or other manifestations
through mediums and sensltiyes. he WAS ire
Quently called before it's subcommittee as an
eypounder of the phenomena. Mr.. Jencken let
two children. the oldest OF whom. ii is report
ed. manifeSts in marked degree the same pow
ers said To attend her mother. Mrs Katie Fox
Jencken has not been public medium since her
marriage. but the sounds. ii desired. her friends
assert, come quite as freely as i'm her younger
days. The same is the case with the older SIS
ter. Mrs UnderhiIl formerly Mrs. Fish, Of New
York city. She has entirely abandoned medium
ship in any public way for the last IL years 1t
Is said the raps can be produced with either Mrs.
Underhill or Mrs. Jencken as readily and dis
tinctiy as 30 years ago. but since their marriage
they have been devoted to domestic duties aud
have only consented to give time for the rap
ping and other attendant phenomena for the
occasional qualification OF friends or for expert
ments Of scientific inyesti.rai ors Both women
are reported to be decided spritualists. andWo-
iess 10 be As unable TO account for the penom-
ena that has attended them unless produced
by dsembodied spirits, rs they were "a wears

ried DIR. Kane. the Arctic explorer. shortly he
fore his death. did not hold any public seances
for some years after Dr. kanes deeease Sub
sequently. however she visited Europe gave
public exhibitions there. and for the last two
years has devoted her time to mediumship In
New York and other eastern cities. She, like
her sisters, claims to have no power to produce
the sounds herself. but constantly asserts they
are the result OF some occult agency

AsftsstcFasisR eft Tea.

Tea Is sometimes adulteratel with leaves of
other plants as. for instance. soe. ash. haw-
thorn. etc, but bT q careful microsco,,ical cN-
animation these aiuterants can be easily
found out. Genuine tea leaves when moist
ened with hot water and opened, and then
examined 10y che microscope. SHOW very Char
acterist:c Yenation: whoa once seen this char
acter will not be easily forgotten. Tea is adui-
terated in other ways besides tne adIniyture
Of foreign leaves. Firstly. the leaves are
often faced or artiticialy coored with
Prussian blue and turmeric or indigo and

tea is often faced with pumba@o See

with sand and other mineral sub

which this leaf is rendered not genuine, that is.
by the practice Of selling the tea more or less
exhausted pretty fair Judgment as to adult
iteration of a sample of tea can De arrived at by
a simple process. This process is based on
the extraction of the theme contained in tea.
and ascertaining the percentage of theme
extracted from known weight of tea. Tea
contains from half to five per cent of thene
The way to proceed in this new process OF
extraction is TO weigh out about $50 gra,n,pes
OF the sample tea. and boil viii: two iitres of
III stl.ed water in a glass beaker: allow the
infusion to boil for five minutes: then add 10

this mixture in strong eiu,iition for about
twenty or twenty-five minutes. ut the same time

means Of Payen's percoIator. Three er four
treatments with ether generally suffice TO re-
move all the theme The last portions Of the
ethereal washings when evaporated should leave
no residue These ethereal solutions are to be
gently heated. and then allowed to eyaporate
in a shallow dish of known weight The solid
remaining is the pure ahalcd theme The dish
and its contents are now weighed: the weight
of the dish and the theme, minus the weight of
the dish alone, gives of course the weight of
the theme. From this the percentage of theme

by means of simple proportion. If the per-

nized by their botanical structures under the

A New Variable Star.

from the Boston transcript.
new variable star of the Algol class of yari-
abies has Just been discovered by Mr. SAWYER. a
prominent member of the Boston Scientific So
clety. "A discussion or the observations which
MI sawyer has prepared for publication in the
technical periodicals devoted to astronomy
shows it to be subject to periodical variations 10
brightness. The amount of this variation IS
equal to about Onc-haif of the normal hrilIiancy
OF the star. During tour-ffths OF it's perioa the
star remains at its maximum brightness tbe
entire decrease to minimum and increase to
maximum aga!n occupying only twenty-four
hours. Mr. Sawyer's observations extend over
the clear evenings from July IL to November 70
and ne las quite accurately determined the period
and amount of variation. His observations were
continued unit! the close approach of the star
TO the sun rendered further work impossible for
sumed.
The discovery is an important one, as but five
stars OF this nature We're known before last wear
one being added during the year 1880 The last
discovery OF TINS character was quite peculiar
The variability of the star having been estab-
llsed by Ceraski. an observer at Moscow- its
PERIOD was at h'st considered to be ten DAYS. q
series of observations showed it to be five DAYS
and at Harvard College the true period was
Iound 10 De just half OF this, or two and one-half
days. with period like this. successive OBJ
servatiOns at any one observation cannot be
mace. Tor every second minimum would occur
during daylight. and to observe all the yaria-
tons requires alternate watching at observatO-
ries several thousands of miles distant from each
other.
The type of this series of variabies Is Aipol
which is subject to a variation of two or three
magnitudes in few hours. So marked are
these variations, that those perfectly familiar
with the stars have frequently been misied by
the absence of the bright star from its usnal
place in the sky, and have failed to recognize
the coniigurati0n Of stars Of which it is narf.
The discovery by Mr. Sawyer of another variable
star of this class is an important addition tn an,
astronomical knowledge
