SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

A curious physical phenomenon is en-
dosnose, which, is the inward motion of
fluid, through q membraneous or po-
rous substance, into vessel containing
different fluid. This principle has been
industrially applied to the treatment Of
molasses; and in certain processes of
tanning, while it may serve to concen
trate alcohol i'll membraneous reservoirs.
It il believed that it may some day be
largely employed in concentrating USE
full principles dilfused through large
quantities Of other substances or pro-
ducts, i'll removing injurious matter, etc.
To encourage advance in this direction
the French Society for the Encourage
ment of National Industry proposes to
award prize of one thousand francs, in
1882, for an indqstri al application of
endosmose.
Sea-water contains about two per
cent. Of salt, while the water Of Great
Salt Lake has twenty-five per cent.
In the opinion Of DR.. Herr, tho tele-
phone is not to remain a single appara
tus, varied only in form, but must be
modified according to the purposes for
which it is to he used. He believes that
telephone for long distances must diff
fer from city apparatus, and that an
instrument for transmitting song can
not well be used for conversational pur-
poses. He is endeavoring to put this
theory into practice by adapting tele-
phones to these different applications,
and thus creating distinct types of the
instrument. His special object has been
however, to extond the range Of the
telephone by forming an instrument
better suited to long distances, and it is
claimed that considerable degree of
success has attended his efforts.
The action Of gunpowder when fired
has been studied by number. Of scien-
t,dc men Of eminence during the past
century and half. Their opinions have
varied greatly rs to the force Of the ex-
plosion. Recent estimates, as given by
Prof. Abel, +. r. s., rate the pressure
developed by the explosion at forty-two
tons per square. inch-the powder being
fired in !. space equal to its own bulk.
In the early part Of the eighteenth CEN
fury, Robius, an eminent English mathe-
lnatician, believed that the pressure
could not be more than seventy pounds
to the square inch; but experiments in
l743 led him to change his figures to six
and half tons per square inch. Count
Rumford, one of the greatest of American
scientists, made gunnery special study,
and from his experiments concluded that
the pressure must roach six hundred and
sixty-two tons to the square inch. Other
estimates have been made, varying from
ten to Il hundred and fifty tons to the
square inch.

PRAYED and virtuous. intelligent and Obtuse
The Suns light is for mankind and woman
kird Of every sort; but its genial warmth is
on the blistering backs of the persistently
wicked.
The sun of 1868 was q newspaper of a
new kind. 1t discarded many Of the forms,
and a. multitude OF the superAuous words
and phrases of ancient journalism. 1t un-
dertook to report IN a fresh, succinct,
unconventional way all the news OF the
world, emitting no event of human interest,
and commenting upon affairs with the
fearlessness of absolute independence. The
success Of this experiment was the success
of The Sun 1t effected permanent change
in the style Of American newspapers. Every
important Journal established in this coun-
modelled after The Sun. Every important
journal already existing has been modified
and bettered by the force Of THE Suns
example.

porting we get the particulars, whether it

In politics we have decided opinions: and

the only secret OF The SUNS political
course.

pages the best matter Of the seven daily
issues. An Agricultural Department Of I'M

The fact that Secretary Folger is

administration for governor of New York
is going to do him no good among the
people who will cast their votes next No

the veto power in behalf of the people as
against corporations, aroused the ire OF
the monopolists, and they set about accom-

denomination and succeeded. Mr..
Folger, they suppose, will be less inclined
to interfere with the schemes of the mo-

P4R MOBILE FRATRU-M.

When it is mentioned that laundering
Gordon was in town yesterday, it follows
as matter of course that Charley Gilman
was here also. When it is mentioned that
Thundering Gordon invaded the Goyernor's
Office, it follows without saying it that
Charley Gilman was tied to his coat-taiL
These worthless once manipulated the ST.
Cloud land Office in the interest.of the pine
land ring, and ever since they were
kicked out of Office by the government
they have been doubly dear to each other.
Each one is familiar with the rascality of
the other, and each is interested embracing
the other up on past crookedness as we'll
as plotting for the future
The particular object Gordon, with his
Gilman attachment. had in visiting ST.
Paul yesterday, was to disfranchise the peo-
pie in Cass and Itasca counties. Two years
ago the pine land ring expected to obtain
the votes of these counties and they called
upon Gov. Pillsbury to estab-
lish election precincts. The
precincts were promptly established
and as it was suiting the pine land ours,
there was no yelping. There was no Thun-
dering Gordon with Gilman tied to his
coat tail, to wax eloquent in protest. The
ring were in control, and they did not need
to make public fuss. Consequently the
precincts were fixed, and the votes cast
for Washburn.
These worthless and their gang are en-
deavoring to create the impression that
there is something new, novel and neces-
sarily wrong in calling upon the Governor
to establish election precincts. AS they
are nothing if not experts in all the polit-
icai rascality extant, it is not surprising that
they should imagine divers and sundries
evils are liable to befall them and their be-
loved pine land ring.
The whole matter is simply plain legal
procedure. Where voters reside in an un-
organized county and are ten miles from
a voting precinct, they have a right
to petition the governor to
establish one and on the re-
ceipt of the petition it is made the duty
of the Governor to comply with the re-
quest. 1t is only as matter of courtesy
that Gov Hubbard allows the protest to
delay the issue of his proclamation.
If the corrupt Knute Nelson was likely
to be benefited by these precincts, Cor
don and his poodle would have been down
demanding them themselves, instead of
protesting against their formation. There
is no private, underhand work in the
formation of election precincts. If
there is likely to be fraudulent
voting indulged in. the pair of rascals who
called on Gov. Hubbard to protest yester-
day, have six weeks to prepare to meet it,
or what is more probable, to organize

Resolued further, That the three commit
tees appoint chairEasn of the joint con-
ference, who shall report all testimony
taken to the papers of the three cities for
publication as Soon as taken, to the end
that the people who are interested in these
questions may be informed of the facts
and an intelligent public sentiment formed,
and in order that further delays may not
be made to the detriment of any interest
affected by this question, the conference is
requested to commence their business
forthwith and complete it without delay.
MANUFACTURING.
Mr.. McClung also offered the following
which was adopted:
WHEREAS, There is abundant capital in
this city which could be pro6tably en-
ployed in manufacturing, either by the aid
of steam or water power,
ReSolued, That the committee on manu-
factures are respectfully requested to re-
port from time to time to this chamber
what branches of manufacturing
would afford the greatest in
ducement for the investment of
capital, with detailed statements of the
facts upon which their conclusions are
based. Beginning with the articles of rope,
twine and cordage, they are requested to
report to the next meeting of the chamber
what amount of binding cord could GER
tainly be disposed of to the reaper com
panies; what the cost of manufacturing
would be, either by importing hemp OF
otherwise, and what percentage of profit
could be reasonably expected; also what
capital would be required and what facil-
tiles could be offered to induce the estab-
ishment of such factory.
The board then adjourned.
