The Proof Of Organic Life in Other
Planets.

A marvellous discovery was made q
full year ago by German lawyer named
DR. o. Hahn, hut so inc redible did it
seem that the learned world refused to
lake notice of it, with one exception.
DR.. D.. F. Weinland devoted whole
year to study Hahn's book, and to test
thoroughly his microscopic researche s
and their results. He now publishes his
opinion, am declares that Hahn has
proved the existence of organic remains
in the stones which cart into the terres-
trial atmosphere from stellar space.
From museums in Tabingen and in
Vienna Hahn procured himself more than
600 chips of meteorites of the Choadrlte
class, proved in each case to be genuine,
and having been collected on eighteen
different occasions, partly during the
present and partly during the last cen
tury in Europe. Asia and America. Mi
mute inspection has discovered IN them
quantity of organic remains, principally
belonging to the most ancient form OF
porous corallines, to the genus of fossil
zoophytes denominated Favosites. or at
least bearing a very strong resemblance
to these latter. though of still smaller
type About fifty kinds of these tiny
animals have been inside out by DR.. Hahn
and assigned to sixteen different families,
to which he has given names. thus lay
ing the foundation of new branch of
zoology-meteoric zoology.
DR.. Wein!and says that it is only the
shell of the Choadrite meteorite that s
burnt and glazed by friction with our
atmosphere. The heat does not extend
so far during the short transit of the
meteor as to impair the kernel, which
has an appearance somewhat like coarse
shell lime of a conglomeration of petri-
fed organic matter, baked in a lump.
Though only few specimens can te
called well preserved, yet the substance
is sufficiently distinguishable to enable
us to class most of the structures among
the Polycistines and the Foraminifera.
They must have existed in water warm
enough never to freeze down to the bot
tom. Where are we TO seek for this
water, If Professor Schiaparelli tells us
that meteorites do not belong to our
solar system, but are intruders from
without? Very strange is the complete
resemblance of all the cuttings examined
to one another though, as stated, they
belong to stones fallen at different
periods in all parts of the globe

Capt. Silas Bent, retired naval officer,
thinks that the North Pole will be found
to be an open sea, whose waters are
touched by the Gulf stream, and through
which passage is easy at least three
months of the year, and that a we'll de-
fined route to it will give to the world
another grand body Of nsvigable waters
and lessen the distance and danger of
the passages from continent to continent.
His theory is that if the Gulf
stream were faithfully followed. direct
from New York, there would be no diff
Guilty in reaching the North Pole. and he
thinks it is something remarkable that

The Egyptian obelisk is evidently a
child of the sun, and cannot stand the
cold winters of our bleak Northland.
According to the New York correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Ledger, it has
been lately undergoing important
changes, as if from atmospheric in
fuences, which threaten to rOughen if
not to ''chip" or "scale" its surface and
obliterate its inscriptions. The rains and
SHOWS of last winter have forced into
the delicate tracery of the latter millions
of particles of snow, which froze as they
entered, and melted again in a few
hours, and on close inspection it would
appear that by this process the
surface has undergone very
marked deterioration; also, that the
corners begin to exhibit decided symp-
toms Of wearing away, ia eltening to
change the shape of the shaft from a
quadrilateral to a circular. In order to
preserve it from the fate with which our
climate thus threatens it, it is proposed
to take it down, and replace it in the
great hall of the Museum, just opposite,
heightening the roof to make room for it.
II would be good idea to send it down
South, where, under our balmy atmos-
phere and congenial sunshine, it would
be forever freed from all danger Of being
DESTROYED or damaged by sleet and snow.

The Mannfacture Of Cotton SEED ON.

A few years ago expressing oil from
cotton seed was not thought Of, and the
seed not needed for planting was only
looked upon as useful as fertilizer.
Since their oil giving qualities were first
proven, however, cotton seed has risen
greatly in value in the South, and oil
mills have sprung up in every direction,
while each year the industry is increasing
in magnitude. Statistics furnished by the
St. Louis Republican show that in 1868
there were sixteen mills for manufactur-
ing cotton seed oil in the country, and
in 1881 there were seventy. In 1868
cotton seed was worth So ton; now it
is worth $40 to $12 A ton of seed will
yield So gallons of oil, worth 40 to 80
cents a gallon; $50 pounds of oil cake,
worth, at $50 ton, $13, and 81 worth
of hulls-so that the manufacturing pro-
cess which the raw seed goes through
nearly trebles the value.
The uses to which the oil may be put
are numerous and varied. 1t is excellent
for such purposes as lubricating ma
chinery and for mixing paint, while it is
also used as a salad oil and for culinary
purposes. 1t has to great extent super
seeded olive oil, and we learn from our
Western contemporary that Italian YES
sells take on large cargoes of it at New
Orleans, carry it to Italy and then bring
it back to this country with Italian labels
on the bottles so that our honest and
conscientious American grOcers can
truthfully assert that it is an imported
article. So general indeed is this prac-
tice that it interferes materially with the
olive oil business in Italy, and on that
account its importation into that country
has been prohibited by the Italian Gov
eminent.
Refined cotton seed oil is very clear
and of pleasant taste, and is certainly
clean, so that even if purchasers thereof
do buy it sometimes with the idea thai
they are getting genuine olive OIL, IL is
deceit which is followed by no per-
nicious consequences. As a result of its
numerous uses and growing popularity,
its manufacture bids fair to add very
considerably in future to the wealth of
the South, since it is a business which
must of necessity be confined to this
section, as the seed in large quantities
are too bulky to be shipped to the North
and there manipulated with profit. In
other words, the South occupies the same
position in the manufacture of cotton
seed oil, that she should occupy in regard
to the manufacture of cotton. 1t is one
of her legitimate industries, and in it
she is without a successful competitor
