AN ARTIFICIAL aurora bOrealis
sounds visionary indeed. yet accord
ing to the Scientific american Prof.
Lemstroem has succeeded admir-
ably in getting up such an exhibi-
ton. He selected two conicai-
topped mountains in North Finland
and connected their SUBMITS with
their bases by a network of copper
wire. His theory was that the
aurora is the result Of an endeavor
on the part Of certain electrical
forces to establish an equilibrium j;
that electricity was passing from
one hilltop to the other, and that, If
by any means this interchange could
be fastened, he wsuld get an au.
rora, and he did. Immediately on
making the connection an arch of
aurora appeared 800 feet above the
tops Of the mountains. An exam
ination of the currents produced in
the wires showed them to be posi-
tive and the spectroscope clearly
revealed the well known lines Of
the aurora. The narrative contin-
ues: although the display was of
short duration, there could be no
doubt of its genuineness, or Of the
success of the experiment"

THs RELIGIOUS press Of ! this
country is not particularly brilliant
or spicy in a newspaper way, but
under the constant presence of tie
secular journals it is adopting some
of those little amenities which add
SO. much to the pleasure Of news
paper life. A late issue of the New
York Independent remarks; I'VE
can hardly believe it, but the Chris
EtGn ITtelJige7scer declares that we
once called if an iguoramus. WedO
not think we could have let our can
dor get the better of our politeness. F"
when the Independent fOrgets how
good a thing it is for brethren to
live together in unity, as it appar-
parent4y has done, there is u fair
prospect that it will "evolute" into
3 reasonably entertaining journal.

THERE ARE shown in the census
statistics some significant facts re
lating to the emploYmentof women
and children. In 1870 the whole
number of families pursuing gain
full occupations in the United States
was ,S36,2SS, which mas increased
to Z, 647, ISL in 1880. It will be seen
that the number of females engaged
in profitable occupations has in
creased at a much higher rate than
the female population. and also at a
higher rate than the number of
males pursuing occ upations. The
rate of increase in the number of fe-
males pursuing gainful occupations
has been far higher in manufacture
ing and mechanical Industries than
in any other employment. Similar
results are shown by the census
with reference to the employment
of children. The whole number of
in the United States be-
tween ten and fifteen years of age
reported in 1870 as pursuing gaihful
occupations was 7S9,l64. In 1880
the number was 1,11s,356. or an in
crease during the decade of $40, 1872.
The rate of this increase was greater
than the rate of increase in the
population between those ages, and
it was also greater than the rate of
increase in the number of adults
gsinful occupations. AS
n the case of women, SO in the case
# children, the rate of increase in
he number employed has been
,reatest in factories. Nearly 100000
women and about 10000 more chill
ren were employed in manufactur-
ng industries in 1880 than in 1870.

A VERMoNTER has raised a new
and highly exciting political issue.
He writes to the Boston Post that
whke he is not a democrat he will
vote for any democratic presidential
candidate "who viii pledge himself
60 clean out the fends who take
or PTS for cut-under hay-Facks."
The Worcester Spy thinks here is a
chance which some politicians
have long been waiting for to re-
organize parties. The watchword,
''No cut-under hay-Jacks," world be
about as inteiMglbie as some Of the
party cries.

BOSTON DEMOCRATS are anxious
that the national convention Of
their party be held there. Ex-
Mayor Prince says: "We have never
held national convention In Boz
eon, and in view Of this fact, and
that Boston is now an assured dem
ocratic city that it has an excellent
nall capable of holding an audience
of 10000; that it has ample hotel
Accommodations, and that the weather
in the season when the convention
will probably be held is likely to be
pleasant and cool, 1 think the ma
sionaI committee should give our
claim for the honor their serious
consideration"

THE NEW YORK Times which has
been investigating the matter, says
the extravaganza use of ice in this
country is the cause of many of the
5odfly ills from which we suffer, It
agrees with many leading ply
sicians, that the excessive use of ice
water brings on diseases of the
kidney, which are certainly rapidly
on the increase. 1t is suggested
that water should never be cooled
by putting ice in it, but that it
should be passed through ice i'll a
coiled pipe. The Times suggestion
reminds US that at the Salt Lake
Theatre the experiment of cooling
water by forcing it through a coiled
pipe surrounded by ice is soon TO be
tried. If successful the temporary
arrangement. will be made perma-
nent, and we DOUBT not give greater
satisfaction than the old way OF
cooling by means Of ice in the water.

These figures prove conclusively
that prohibition does not prohibit
that is, it does not stop drinking,
but merely changes the method of
doing it, and by making it laWless
makes it furtive secret and sneak
ing. In 1s75-7e the arrests in
Bangor, Maine, were TIT, or nearly
five per cent. of the population of
the city. Prohibition was intro,
duced in Maine in 1850, and in 1880
the increase of all crime was POT
per cent, while the increase in
population in the same period was
only 11.2T per cent.

a CORRESPONDENT of the New
York Sun has coIlated the following
interesting table, giving the number
of arrests for drunkenness and the
percentage to the population for the
year 1880 in two towns in Maine,
where prohibition is in force, and
in six towns and cities in other
states where there is no prohibition:
