A Canine Critic.

In the year 1889 a phenomenon ap-
peared in the musical world which
attracted considerable attention in
Germany. A gentleman well known
as an enthusiastic musical amateur of
DarmStadt, in the Grand Duchy Of
Hesse, had female spaniel, called
Poodle. by striking the animal when
ever music was played, and a false note
struck, she was made tohowl. At last
the threat of the upraised stick was
equally effective, presently mere
glance of the masters eye produced
the same howl, and at last the false
note itself. a German paper of the
period says; "At the present time
there is not concert or an opera at
Darmstadt to which Mr.. Frederick S.
and his wonderful dog are not invited,
or at least, the dog The voice of the
prima donna, the instruments of the
band, whether violin, clarionet,
hautbois or bugle--all of them must
execute their parts in perfect harmony,
otherwise Poodle looks at its master.
erects its ears shows its grinders and
howls outright. Old or new pieces,
known or unknown to the dog, pro-
duce the same effect" 1t must not be
supposed that the discrimination of
the creature was confined to the mere
execution of musical compositions.
Whatever may have been the case at
the outset of its musical career.
towards its close vicious modulation
or a false relation of parts produced
the same result. sometimes to tease
the dog" says our German authority.
"Mr. S. and his friends take a pleasure
in annoying the canine critic by emit
ting all sorts of discordant sounds from
instrument and voice. On such occa-
sions the creature loses all self-com-
mand, its eyes shoot forth fiery flashes,
and long and frightful howls respond
to the inharmouious concert of the
mischievous bipeds. But the latter
must be careful not to go too far, be-
cause when the dogs patience is much
tried it becomes savage, and endeavors
to bite both its prosecutors and their
instruments.-London Society.

Preserving Power Of Soil.

1t is well-known that in soil where
lime abounds, dead bodies are fossilized
in a few years or even a few months
after burial. In soil where there is nc
lime there are sometimes other ele
ments which often preserve the fea
lures of a buried body unchanged fol
many years. The philosophic Hamlet
musing by an old grave over the fact
that man turns into dust, and dust into
earth, eXclaims:
"Imperial Caesar, dead and turned to clay,
Might stop hole to keep the wind away ="
But what would have been his mus
ings if he had stood beside the disin
tered body of his father and seen brow
and form appearing as natural as wher
he gave "the world assurance of 6
man?" Yet this might have been
for there are numerous cases on record
where bodies disinterred for removal
after years of interment, have beer
found to be as well preserved as il
they had been only few days dead
General Washington's features were
quite perfect when his body was taken
up to be put in the sarcophagus where
they now repose. The same was true
of General Wayne, when his body was
removed forty years after death; and
of Robert Burns, twenty.one years
after burial. But it seems almost in.
credible that the body of John Hamp'
den, who was disinterred 200 years
after death, should have been in a
similar state of preservation. But
Lord Nugent records the fact. His
wcrd is not to be questioned. Possibly
the most remarkable fact of all these
cases is that the bodies crumbled to a
heap of dustsoon after exposure.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

1t appears that the leaf of plant
can transform into useful work us
much as forty per cent. of the solar en-
ergy it receives and absorbs.
NJ. de Lesseps states that the evapo
rating power of the sun is less on the
site of the proposed inland sea of the
Sahara than on the Red sea, and he
does not anticipate that the waters
will dry up.
The boiling point of water is ordina
rily 2l2 degrees, but every liquid has
point of its own. The sulphuric ether
boils at 96 degrees, alcohol l76 degrees,
oil of turpentine, 3l6 degrees, sulphuric
acid 620 degrees, and mercury 662 de-
grees.
A California paper states that year
or more since a gate post that had
been painted with so-called zinc white,
was noticed to appear black all day
gray in the twilight and white during
the night. On an investigation of this
singular property of the paint, the
cause was shown to exist in new
metal, which has been named actini-
um, on account of its peculiar actinic
effects. 1t is found in zinc ores, and
resembles zinc.
The pulp made from the fiber of the
palmetto tree has proved to be fine
paper material and is consequently at
tracing the attention of b-.h scien-
lists and capitalists. a company at
Washington, d, c., is now engaged in
the manufacture of paper from this
material. The erection of a mill at
jacksonville, Fla, for the purpose of
converting the raw material into pulp,
is also announced. This mill, which is
to cost Sl50,000, will, it is said produce
twenty tons of pulp per day,
NJ. Reiset has investigated remark
able alteration of milk which supersti-
tious French peasants seem to think l.,
due to some bewitching influence. The
