SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

BY careful measurements Professor D.
p. Penhallow has determined the root
and the leaf areas of the Indian corn to
be approximately equal.
In the year 1872 the consumption of
coffee in the United States was "a, 600,
900 pounds, and since that time it has
steadily increased. Last year it was II,
600, 900.
A statue to the inventor of the manu-.
facture of soda is about to be erected at
lssoudun, his native place. When this
great chemist was alive the world re-
fused him a breakfast; now that he il
dead, why, monument, of course.
From a paper by Dr. Fritz Muller it
seems that the protection derived by in
sects from an evil odor is not always alb
solute. He found about thirty speci-
mems of a very common and exceedingly
offensive Brazilian specie whose wings
were seemingly pierced by the beak Of
some bird or other.
A scientific expedition for the explora-
ton of Africa is in course of organiza-
ton under the charge of DR.. Emil Rie-
beck. Much is expected Of it. Herr
Gottlob Adolf Krause will lead the party
and see that the plans are carried out
The immediate object is described as the
investigation of the languages and social
condition of the inhabitants of the re-
gion about the Niger, Benue and Lake
Tsad.
After tracing the invention of the tele-
phone to Philip Reiss, whose instru-
ment was exhibited to the Physical
society of Frankfort in 1861, scientific
authorities are still not content to let the
matter rest. The latest claimant put
forth is a Frenchman named Charles
Bourseul, who is said to have originated
the telephone in 1854 and to have COM
municated the invention to the French
Academy in the same year.
Elephants are capable of doing a va
riety of useful services. A Singapore
lady has sent London journal sketch
of elephants at work in the timber yards
of Moulmein. Under the direction of
drivers seated on their necks these beasts
carry huge planks, sometimes two or
three together, and with great care and
precision place them in stacks one over
another. The old hands are even said to
take a sidelong view with one eye closed
to test the perpendicularity of the stacks.
Cracked earthenware should never be
used for domestic purposes. 1t is a safe
rule in good housekeeping to break any
fractured stoneware to pieces and render
them quite untitled for any employment
as utensils. In paper read before the
Academy of Sciences, Paris, NJ. Z. Pey-
russon demonstrated very clearly how
the germs of cholera, typhoid fever and
similar diseases may be preserved and
communicated py even the slight, st
crack or tissure which may be caused by
very trihing accidents to crockery and
faience.

Regarding Sun Spots.

A young friend has seen ii stated that
an unusually cool summer is caused by
spots on the sun, and wishes to know
"what these spots are, and what causes
them" He has asked a question which
many of the most learned astronomers
have long been trying to answer, but
they have not entirely succeeded. These
spots, which appear at distance from
the suns equator, and on both sides of
it, vary in numbers, and differ greatly in
size, some Of them being thousands of
miles across. Sometimes no spots are to
be seen, and they gradually increase
until they become very numerous, and
then after time disappear. 1t is found
that their times of greatest numbers
occur about once in ten or eleven wears,
and it is supposed that they may affect
the amount of heat that the sun gives off
to the earth. So little is really known
about the sun itself that what takes place
on its surface is a matter of guesswork.
The spots, seen through telescope, have
n dark center umbra) surrounded by
less dark portion pneumbra), and some
times still darker place is seen in the
middle (nucleus) One view is that the
sun is surrounded by layers of bright
matter, like clouds, and break or open
ing in the outer layers, exposing those
below, cause the appearance known as
sun spots. So much has been learned in
late years about the sun and other
heavenly bodies that it is likely we
shall in time know more about the nature
of the spots and what causes them.-

Clever COnjurlng.

The great Robert Houdin went by
royal command to St. Cloud, as he re-
lates in his Condolences to give a
show before King Louis Philippe and his
family. In the course Of this show he
borrowed six handkerchiefs from the
audience Then various members Of the
audience wrote down on slips of paper
the names of the places whittier they
would like the handkerchiefs to be
transported. This done, the conjuro1
asked the king to choose three of those
slips at random, and from the three to
select the place he preferred.
Come" said Louis Philippe, "let us
see what is on this slip. Il should like
them to be found under one of the
candlesticks on the mantelpiece'
"That is too easy for a wizard let us
try again.
90 Il should like them to be found on
the dome of the Invalides
"That is too far-not for the hand
kcrchiefs but for us.
"Ah, you will, fear find it difficult
to comply with the request on the last
slip"
The request was that the handkerchiefs
should be found in the box of the last
orange tree on the right hand of the
avenue at st. Cloud. The conjuror ex-
pressed his readiness to comply with the
request, and the king Immediately sent
off party of men to keep guard over the
orange tree.
The conjuror put the handkerchiefs
under bell of thick glass, waved his
wand, took up the bell, and showed
white dove in place of the handkerchiefs.
Then the king, with skeptical smile,
sent orders to the head gardener to open
the box of the orange tree chosen, and to
bring whatever he might find there. This
was done, and presently there was
brought in an iron Golfer covered with
rust
"Well," cried the king, "here we
have a Golfer. Are the handkerchiefs
in it 2"
eyes, SIRE" replied Robert Houdin,
" they have been there long time"
"a long time, when it is only
quarter of an hour since they were given
to you2'
What, sire, would be the use of
magic if it could not perform impossible
feats Your majesty will be surprised
when prove to you that the Golfer and
its contents have been in the box of the
orange tree for sixty years"
The king now observed that a key was
needed to open box, and Robert HoudiD
asked him to take the key which was
hung by ribbon round the white doves
neck. This was a key as rusty as the
Golfer which it opened, and the first
thing found in the Golfer was a parch-
ment bearing these words
To-day, June 6, 1786.-This iron
Golfer, holding sixhandkerchiefs, has been
placed amid the roots of an orange tree
by me, Balsomo, Count of Cagliostro, to
aid the accomplishment of a magical feat
which will be done this day sixty years
before Louis Philippe of Orleans and his
family"
Below the parchment, sealed with
Cagliostro's seal, which was well known
to the king, was a packet, and in the
packet were the six borrowed handl1er-
chiefs.

Two Dollars Ahead.

The " drop game" is frequently played
by thieves in city banks. While some
customer Of the bank is counting the
money which he has drawn
stranger calls attention to
bill which has apparently
been dropped by the depositor, The
customer stoops to pick it up, and on re-
gaining his feet generally finds some if
not all of the money which he has been
counting gone, together with the stran-
ger. The following story is told of how
ex-senator David Davis once outwitted a
would-be thief:
The judge was making deposit at
Washington bank, and stood counting a
large pile of money at a desk. A we'll
dressed young man stepped up and, with
bow and a smile, said: "Judge, you
have dropped a bill" Sure enough,
there lay a clean, crisp, genuine
two-dollar bill at the deposi-
tors feet. "Thank YOU" blandly
answered the judge, placing his
ponderous right boot over the bill on the
floor, and calmly resuming his counting.
The sharper, taken aback by the cool
ness Of the proceeding, disappeared, and
the judge was 81 ahead by the trans
action.

In regard to Emily J.'s request for
something to mitigate the sutIcrings
caused by cinders we would say that IA
very simple and effective cure is within
the reach of every one, 1t is simply one
or two grains of tlayseed These may be
placed in the eye without injury or pain
to that delicate organ, and shortly they
begin to swell and dissolve a glutinous
substance that covers the ball of the eye,
enyeloping any foreign substance that
may be in it, The irritation of cutting
the membrane is thus prevented, aud the
annoyance may soon be washed out, A
dozen of these grains slowed away in the
pocket may prove IN nm emergency worth
their number in gold, -PhilqaeiP1ja

Indian Arts.

The conjurers of the far Northwest are
legion that will permit themselves to be
bonnd, not merely hand and foot, but
the whole body swathed with thongs,
withes, ropes and rawhides, and after
ward tied up in a net, and then release
themselves almost instantly on being
placed in a little medicine LODGE Of
skins constructed for the purpose, the
bonds being thrown out through an
opening in the top, without a knot ap-
parently disturbed. DR.. Archie Stock
well writes that he recently saw a medi-
cine man go through with a long series
of incansations, drummings, ratings of
gourds, ETC., for the relief of a consump-
tive, lying in the center of an ordinary
lodge. Suddenly he announced that he
had discovered the spirit that had afflict-
ed the sufferer, and thereupon, plunging
his hands beneath the single blanket
with which she was covered, drew forth
the carcass of full-grown wolf, and
flung it with great violence against the
door, greatly to the delight, mystifca-
tion and satisfaction of the beholders.
He now assured the friends of the
speedy recovery of the squaw, but she
died the same night, nevertheless,

You are twenty-to what fair maiden,
Say, is your hot heart spedgn

A boy was drowning. A wave
Had closed upon him. "Ho soldier
The crowd cried, ." Help us to sayeln

A Glance at Our Indian Record.


Our National Promises to Indians.-0ur
Government has made hundreds OF treaties
with the Indians during the last century,
and our Constitution declares that :-"All
treaties made under the authority OF TIL.
United States shall be the suprtm law of
the land and the judges In every State shall
be bound thereby, anything in the law or
constitution OF any State to the contrary
notwithstanding. In these treaties the
Indian tribes are uniformly acknowledged
to be "nations," "treaty" indeed being "a
compact between independent communities,
each party acting through the medium OF
its government"
These treaties promise the "payment OF
apnuities due" that their territories ''shsn
never be invaded by any individual, State,
or by the United States,p but shrll be a
"permaDent home" to "remain theirs for
ever" that s'their property shall never be
taken from them except in war duly author
lied by Congress- aud also that education
shall be given to Indian children.

There Is good feeling in the rHal estate
market at present, and agents say that
things have not been better since the panic
OF 1873. While there has not been any ad-
vance In rents there has been general
stifieniBg In prices In almost every class OF
houses. Last spring rents We're generally
advanced about twenty-five per cent, and
therefore there is no general increase TINS
fall, although where old tenants move out
the rent is in most cases advanced some
what. A prominent real estate agent said
a few days ago:
eyes, sir real estate Is better property
now than it has been since '73 Why, /
have some clients who owl property on Arch
street. and during some years lately they
hardly got anything out of It. But since
the advance IL the spring things have i'm
proved good deal. There Is now good
demand for all classes of dwellings, mostly,
of course, for small houses. We find no
difficulty in renting them as soon as they
become vacant, and always st an advance.
We have a row Of small fve-rOom houses
which we started at IS. They are now rent
ing, most of them, at $40, and we expect to
raise them to $l2. These houses are way
out at Germantown. Nearer town, of course,
| rents are higher"
"Is there any general movement toward
Camdenf" asked the reporter.
"Well, no; don't think there is. One
would think that people would cross the
| river, but there seems to be dislike tt
New Jersey for some reason. Rents there
are going up, too, but there don't seem Il
be the same demand for houses eve
there"
Another real estate agent who was spokei
| -, Rraf Int ha fno orl a
was becoming frmer. "It is improving al
mt st all over the city," said be. "The onl
localities where rents are advancing are 4
the old parts of the city near the river, mort
ofMarket street and way down in the south
ern END. There are not many improvement
going on there, and now rents are standin
: still. In some cases they have declined
But in the newer parts there has been un

THE MuRDERoUs attack on old Mr.. May
bee, at Brook6eld, L. l., whose assailant
had first murdered his wife and daughter
in the barn, is relieved somewhat of its aw-
full horror by result that was hardly to be
suspected by such proceeding. The shock
to his nervous system caused by horror OF
the affair together with loss of blood from a
wound in his head, has partially restored
his sight which he lost some years ago and
the physicians are of the opinion that by
proper treatmenth he may entirely recover
his sight.

LIZ THE only important matter that Ma
homes address indicates is his determination
TO cooperate with the Republicans in the
organization CT the Senate, then 1t seems
scarcely worth while that he should have
made it. No person who understood the Sit
uation in Virginia ever doubted that he
would, under the circumstances, act with
the Republicans with all his little might.
Being a repudiationist and demagogue
generally In addition to his other ro-
guish proclivities he belongs by natural in
stinct to the party of ''great moral ideas. "
The utter depravity of Malone is clearly
indicated by this address. Without the
slightest basis therefore he makes charges
that would convey the impression that the
people of Hanover county we're bloodthirsty
political thugs OF tine worst description
General Wickhsm, straight out Republican
declares that the address is absurd to th'
verge of insanity. We shall see how the part,
to which Malone proposes to lend his assist
anee In the Senate, will eountenance hin
and thus lend themselves to his baseles
charges.
