A GLIMPSE or Mr.. UILDE.
From The Criterion.


We were invited TO breakfast with Oscar Wilde,
last summer, while at Saratoga The place selected
for the morning revel was tho top Of Mount Nc
Gregor suburb of Saratoga, which is reached by "A
pretty ltCie railway, completed during the past
son. The feast was spread on "A temporary platform
erected over q ravlne, while under 4" dining
room floor a little brook made music and caused
MrWilde TO speak of Iennyson's poem on the same,
The "ideal breakfast" was composed of sixteen
courses, interrupted now and then by toasts. When
the Queen was toasted our friend from over the
water rose and objected. which was regarded as
strange by some present. He remarked that the
Queen was the most untidy woman in the United
Kingdom!
Among other things Mr.. Wilde said was the fol.
lowing: That our western miners are the only
persons in the United States who wear the correct
dress p That Los Angeles was the prettest name
he heard in America" That American women
were rather rude as a rule" which made several
ladies present very wrathfu In fact If his conduct
and remarks on this occasion were an example OF
Esthetcism, then Heaven grant Americans may
never adopt it, AT the conclusion of the breakfast
a short stroll was INDUCED in, and our escort In
formed us that if had sat through another course
be was sure he would have knocked Mr.. Wide
down What fate IL would have been for the
Engshman.

half teaspoonful of salt had been added the Mix
ture was stirred until 1t had boiled up once.
Last of all. eggnog was made. The white of an
egg was beaten to stiff froth next tablespoon.
fai Of sugar was beaten in then the yolk OF the
egg ard finally tablespoonful eachof milk, water
and wine.
Before closing, Miss Paroa said that when using
milk in dishes for the sick the diseases OF the per-
sons who are to consume the food should be con-
sidered. Long boiling hardens the albumen
and makes the milk constipating, hence.
If the patient be already constipated.
great care should be exercised not 10 allow
the milk or cream to heat above the boiling point.
Miss Parloa said also that could not use season.
ngs for sick person that would suit well person.
More salt and acid can and snould be used m most
when seasoning food for the sick. while less
sugar other sweet flavor SHOULD be used. ADVICE
was also given not to send too bouniful supply
of food to the patient and not to set any one dish
before him frequently just because II has tasted
especially good at first. Miss Parloa emphasized tho
desrabity OF serving all dishes in the daintest and
most attractive ways, so as To induce an appetite
which may be dormant.

WHAT Is BATHYBIUS

An interesting lecture, by NJ. A. Milne Ed
wards on the deep-Sea researches carried on
during the recent cruises of lie Travaileur, APP
peared in the Anndles de Uimie ct de Physique.
Among other things, the author says that they
Often came across the substance, at one time
thought 50 important, called Bafhybius,, and
verified the conclusion already come to, that It
must be taken down from its high pedestal.
Bathybus is merely mass of sImv matter
which the spoDges, and many zo-ophytes, yield
when their tissu0sa are crushed by too rough
contact with the dredging apparatus. While
animals are very Numerous in the deepest re-
gions, plants arc wholly absent; those green
red and violet alg9, so common near the coasts,
would be unable to live in the darkness, and
they disappear below about $50 metres (say $50
feet. Whence do these deep-sea animals OBJ
tain Their food Plants alone can work up,
from the gases of the air and non-living sub
stances, the organic matters which afterward
serve for food of plant eating animals, and. by
their means, for that of tiesh-eating species
Therefore the food prepared at the surface,
under the influence of the suns rays must
gradually fall like kind of mama, into the
submarine wastes where no plant can live"

piosives, which differed materially from each
other in the rapidty of their action To prove
this the Professor placed sprinkling of powder
upon some gun cotton, and. having rolled it, he
applied hot iron to the gun-cotton. which
ignited so rapidly that the powder renamed
unscathed, and was only ignited upon a second
application of the iron. The most perfect ex,
niosiye agent known to chemists at the present
time was one which had received the somewhat
curious name of blasted gelatine," aud which,
from its non-liabllty to explosion by concns-
sion. might be safely used in shells. Referring
to the recent destruction of the gasholder near
Glasgow, he said that evidently Il small charge
of dynamite had been used at a little distance
from the gasholder. 1t had the effect of blow

constructed and igniting the gas. The plates
were perforated and pitted. In the case OF the
explosion at Westminster the Portland stone OF
the building was pitted in the same way.

THE ELPHINSIONE DYNAMO.

According to the English scientific journals
the new dynamo far generating electricity IN
vented by Lord W. iIlustOuG and MI. vincent
is',,ae Of the mOs6 powerful continuous current
machines ever made. 1t is said 10 be the the
outcome of strict following out of Faraday' s
researches, and those who have seen 1t believe
that il is destined to ill an important place IN
the history OF electricity and its application to
the arts. It's most notable feature is that the
armature works bet Ween both external and IN
ternal magnets, that the saddles OF wire OF
which the aTInature is formed constitute a very
simple construction, that there Is close proximity
in the working parts of the magnets, and that,
all the parts of the machine being duplicated,
taking TO pieces and repairing can be most
readily effected. AT a recent exhibition OF the
DYNAMO in London $50 Swan incandescent
lamps each of twenty candle-pover, were brill
ianty sustained by a rather small engine and
produced a dazzling effect. ,
Among other experiments shown, a length OF
about forty feet of galvanized iron wire one
eighth inch thick, was rendered red hot. As the

of steel and also copper wire each became
in turn incandescent, the steel being fused.
