The american Naturalist says that
mountain cork has been recently used in
Germany as o substitute for animal
charcoal for the removal of color from
molasses. The mountain cork, a spe-
cies of amphlbole, is dried, ignited and
soaked in molasSes, then again dried
and ignited. The process is repeated
several times until some 3.5 per cent. of
carbon has become fixed in the mineral,
which is then ready for use. 1t is more
efficient than charcoal in removing the
alkalies from molasses.
/ "A new map of the mean. annual
rainfall of the world has been prepared
by Professor Elias Loomis, of Yale Col
lege. He finds that an equatorial rain
belt of fifty inches of rain a year extends
continuously across all the continents
and islands, and is nearly fifteen hun
bred miles wide on an average. On the
other hand the regions which receive
less than ten inches of rain per annum
are also very extensive, although Spain
is the only land in Europe where the
rainfall is so scanty as this. In Asia,
however, there is an area three thousand
miles long and one thousand miles
broad, over which the rainfall averages
less than ten inches, and like tracts ex-
ist in Africa, Australia, on the west
coast of South America, and the North
American continent near the Great Slave
Lake, in Arizona. and in Southern Cali
fornia. Professor LOOMS estimates that
one-tifth of the earth's land surface re-
ceives an annual rainfall of less than ten
inches. Very little is known as to the

WHAT THE SOUTHERN COLORED
BROTHER NEEDS.

The disposal Of $2O, 1000 of the SLATER
fund TO aid in the education OF the
co;ored race in the South Is causing
beneficial discussion Of the present
status aud needs Of that class. Within
the last ten years many Of the colored
men have become owners ofsmall farms
and have prospered, but it does not
follow. as some people have been led to
believe, that the majority of the free
men have been successful in life. The
views of General MARTIN, an extensive
planter OF Mississippi, upon the subject
are sensible and instructive. 1t appears
that the South has very generally be-

such affairs, the success has not war.
ranted the outlay. Some Of the best
known actors in the country have been
secured, large sums Of money have been
expended in the stage-mounting of the
the plays produced, but the result has
been ineongruous, inchOate and taw-
dry. The hall in which the perform
anee are given Is so large that the &C
tors, voices can be heard only about half
its length. Every nicely of express
sion is lost, and to nearly one-half
Of the audience the affair has
been a sort of duslb show with
now and then the echo Of an articula-
ton. Cincinnati is addicted, to these
monster festivals, and did fairly-and
only fairly-when il eOatined itseifto

between musical and dramatic art.
The sound Of the human voice is differ

trionism depends almost as much for
perfection upon the expressive play OF
