IRON BITTERs as a tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
l was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care Of
eminent physicians, / was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, TO
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle Of BRowN's
IRON BITTERs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs Of Consumption, and
when the physician was Consulted
he quickly said "TonicsyywSere re-
CURED; :" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRON BITrERs, responded "that is

probably net fatal to man. This is the Hello,

ANCIENT HUMAN FOOTPRINTS.

At the last meeting of the California Academy
of Sciences, Dr. II. w. darkness read an un-
usually interesting paper on the footprints OF
Phocene man recently found in the sandstone
OF the Carson, Nevada prison quarry. Inc

the south, the cliffs are twelve To thirty feet
high and POS feet long, while on The western
side it rises from thirty TO tlnrty-twO feet ana

The floor of the quarry bears evidence OF
having been tilted at a period subsequent to the
deDosltiou of ITS strata. Ii also gives lndlca-
hops OF having been the shore OF an ancient

A NEW HNGKOMETER.

At a recent meeting of the French Academy
OF Sciences ". CTOva described a new hygrO-
meter OF very ingenious nature. 1t consists
OF a small tube oil thin brass, plated, and
carefully polished in the interior. 1t is closed
al both ends by two glasses, one Of ground
glass surface and the other clear. The
ground glass admits the light from lamp into
TIE interior of the tube and the clear glass
permits the observer 10 view the interior of the
lube by means OF a lens 'of long focus. The
tube j. further provided with two little Tubes
placed at its opposite eXtremiJIes. by one OF
these the air is sucked into the tube through
copper tube, at whose point the hygrOmetrlc
state of the air Is to he determined. The other
small tube acts as an InSplTatOr or suction
pump, 80 that gentle blast traVerses the centre
Of the hygrOmeter. When the rays of the
lamp enter the tube, the eve sees the ground
glaS, as luminous disc aud the side walls of
the tube brightly shining. But when these
walls are cooled down to the noint M winch
dew begins To form on them from the air
within the tube, the dewdrops are at once seen
against the light of the ground glass disc The
Temperature is lowered by encucling the tube
with cotton wool stepped in bIsulphidc of car
bon and placed III Il draGSht. TO get the dew
point very accurately II Is best to raise and
lower the temperature above and below the
dew point so as 10 note The exact degree at
which the dew begins to form. In this way 1t
can be ascertained 10 Onc-tenth of a degree.
The inventor states that IL compares tavOrably
