ROTARY STEAM MOTOR.

A new kind OF steam engine has been re
Gently patented in Austria by Professor Well
ner, of Brunn. The so-called steam wheel "
according. to the account in the Poly
tcohniScher Journal consists of a simple
water wheel mostly immersed III hot
water in closed vessel. Steam Is adj
nitted at the lower part, and forces the cells
of the wheels upward, producing rotation. The
steam fills more and more of the cels on the
rising side, and at length begins to escape into

conducted 10 the vessel from elsewhere. The
upper tube for outlet of steam may lead either
into the open air or into a condenser. The me-
chanical work consists in the ascent of the
specifically lighter steam in the heavier LIQUID.
These steam wheels may either be used as in
dependent motors in connection with ordi-
nary steam engines in the latter case the es-
cape steam of one kind of machine is utilized

THE ANNUAL GROWTH OF TREES.

An interesting observation on tree rings is
recorded by Professor Bachelart in La Nature,
during visit to the ruins OF Palenque, Mexico,
in 1889. NJ. Charnay caused all the trees that
hid the facade of one of the pyramids of the
palace to be cut down. On second visit IN
1850, he cut the trees that had grown since
1859, and he remarked that all of them had
number of concentric circles greatly superior
TO their age. The oldest could only have been
% years of age, but on section of one OF them
he counted $50 circles; the tree was 90 TO
65 ctm. in diameter. A shrub, Is months old
at most, had IS concentric circles. NJ. Charnay
found the case repeated in every species, and
In trees of all sizes. He concluded that in hot
and moist climate, where nature is never at
rest II may produce, not one circle year. as
with US, but one month. The age of mon.
pment has often been calculated from that OF
trees that have grown on its ruins For Pa

O.d Customs In Thibet.

The principal food of the country is
called jamba. To make it quantity
of powdered tea is cooked for several
hours, after which it is poured into a
churn, when salt and butter are added,
and the whole is stirred until complete
mixture is effected. The broth is then
divided among the hungry ones, each
Of whom gets his share in a wooden
bowl after which sack of roasted barley
meal is brought out. Every one takes
a handful of meal from the sack, puts it
into tho tea and mixes the mass into a
shapely lump, and swallows his dough
with keen appetite. After the meal
is over the wooden bowls are licked

Polyandry is practiced, not on ac-
count of any lack of women, for there
is no such lack, but as measure OF
economy. When the oldest son mar
ries, his wife becomes also the wife of
all his brothers. The custom does not
lead to so many difficulties as it might
be supposed it would, and the chief
trouble arising out of it concerns the
fatherhood of the children. The house
wife occupies rather commanding
than subordinate position.
Three ways of burying the dead pre-
vail. The poor sink their dead in one
of the mountain streams; those of a
better class hang their bodies upon q
tree, where they are consumed by birds,
and the bones ire afterward thrown
into the river; the rich cut the bodies
up into small pieces, pound the bones
and mix them with jamba. and then
carry the remains to the mountains,
where they are left for the birds. These
are old customs, and have no connec-
ton with religion.-Lieut. G. KreitleT

heard man who had failed in bust
ness, and whose furniture was sold at
auction, say that when the cradle, and
the crib, and the piano went, tears
would come, and he had to leave the
house to be a man. Now, there are
thousands of men who have lost their
pianos, bat who have found better mu-
sic in the sound of their children's
voices and footsteps going cheerily
down with them to poverty, than the
harmony of chorded instruments. Oh,
how blessed is bankruptcy when it saves

are 10 years old, should lay them on

of their arms and legs, so they could

still and be fed. Thus the rich men
put the knife of incidence and luxu-

for the next new moon, which occurred

it again until the moon had gone down
in the west. and was fully confirmed Of
the extent and importance OF the phe-
nomenon as efiecting existing theories
regarding the physical condition OF the

is that this cloud forms by volcanic

The fact that the moon liz then hut
slender crescent generally low in the
haze OF our horizon, seen but an hour
or so before setting, Mr.. Jackson thinks
must be the only reason why it has not

ance of the discovery consists in that

ing that the theory that the moon is

pear to show what has for years been
denied by all astronomers, that the
moon has an atmosphere. qulyEst5
On Thursday night Mr.. Jackson
claims, he made another discovery in
connection with this wonderful cloud.
He distinctly saw at the apex OF the
promontarium agarnm, above which the
cloud has been seen, three volcanic
craters which have never before been
discovered by astronomers, and he
thinks that the cloud is produced by the
bursting of volcanic fires which opened
these new craters,. thus further tending
to establish the theory OF physical life
on the moon. Mr.. jackson says that
when the great telescopes OF the world
are directed toward investigating this
startling phenomenon he has no doubt
that discoveries of incalculable import
ance will be made, which may revolu-
tionize our present theories as to the
physical condition Of the earth's sate-
lite.
Mr.. Jackson is most careful and
painstaking scholar. and has been an
astronomer for nearly half century.
Thirty years ago he calculated exactly
the transit of Venus which took place
in 1874, and has been close student Of

Arsenic Eaters

not be deceived. Paint, not nature, is
responsible for the bloom, made hideous
andtghastly by the corpsey Wilderness Of
the rest of the face. The arsenic eater
is seldom downcast and Respondent,
come what may, for the drug not only
affects the skin but produces mental
exhileration. The plumpness produced
by arsenic is not natural plumpness, but
rather dropsical condition of the skin.
Cessation of the habit causes this water
distended skin to collapse, and wrinkles
and sallowness are the inevitable result,
OF course, no woman is willing to sub
NIT, to this ordeal when it may be pre-
vented, at the mere sacrifice of health
and intellect, by continuance of the
use of the drug. The inevitable results
of the arsenic habit are hideous and in

An Old.EashiOned Reckoning.

A case was tried in Squire Stephens
court, Louisville, some days ago in
which rather remarkable witness was
introduced. The suit was one brought
by an old German, who keeps grocery
and bar-room, against rather tough
citizen who owed him bar bill. When
the old man was placed on the stand he
stated his case in broken English, but
in straightforward, truthful manner, and
said that the defendant had been GUS
toner at his bar and received credit, but
refused to pay his bill when the time
arrived. He was then asked by the
court if he kept regular account of the
amount, and was reqestedssto show his
bill. This seemed to puzzle the old man
some, and after scratching his head in
silent deliboration for few minutes,
he said he had kept an account, but had
left it at his store, and asked permission
to go off and bring it. The permission
was granted, and he started away on a
trot, and in short while came back,
putting and blowing, but wearing a sat-
isfed look on his face and carrying a
large pine door on his shoulder. All in
the room we're considerably astonished
at this. but he quietly seated himself,
and taking the door across his knees, he
pointed to number of charcoal marks
on it, which he stated was his bill
When asked to explain he said that
whenever the defendent got drink he
marked it down on the door. If the
drink was beer he made short mark,
and if whisky long one. He then
counted up the marks, and they agreed
with the bill he had presented. This
evidence was "a clincher, and the old
German won his case amid the smiles
of the spectators.-LouisUille Courier
