Thn lhristinn Era.

Professor Sattler of Munich, claims
the distinction of having solved the
problem as to the year when Christ was
born, and of having demonstrated the
fact that the current year is probably
1888 instead of 1888. lie bases his
proofs mainly on three coins which
were struck in the reign of Herod An
tipas, son of Herod the Great, and
which date, consequently, from the
first half of the first century of the
current era. Madden admits the gen.
uineness of these coins, and other nu-
mismatc writers do the same. The evil
dence they offer is said to coincide with
the narrative of the Gospels and with
astronomical calculations. The follow
ing are the results at which Professor
Sattler has arrived: Jesus was born
on the twenty-hfth of December, 749
years after the founding of Rome, and
commenced his public career on the
seventeenth of November, 7SO years af-
ter the founding of Rome. He was
then thirty years, ten months and
twenty-five days old. The date on
which he commenced his career fell in
the fifteenth year Of the Emperor Ii
berius, and in the forty-sixth year
after the building of Herod's temple.
This is in accordance with st. Luke,
III, /, and st. John, II, 20. Jesus died
on the seventh of April, 7S3 of the Ro,
man era--that is to say on the Friday
before Passover; for it has been ascer.
tanned by exact calculation that Pass.
over fell that year on the seventh OF
April, 1888; and as the latter was Jew.
ish leap year and consisted according.
ly of thirteen months, his public career
lasted two years and seven months.
According to Professor Sattler, the
Christian reckoning is at fault by five
years, and we are now, therefore, in
1888, and not 1888.

"Then | realized how the mistake

"Then | realized how the mistake
had occurred. The deputy marshal
had given me his card, and when in
troduced myself to the long'haired
man, | had, without noticing it, given
it to him. Imade an elaborate expla-
nation, and in proof, told them to
search my pockets, where they would
find several cards bearing different
names, but would find at least fifty
bearing one name, which was my own.
They did so, and took the rope from
my neck, and also liberated the young
man who they thought had turned
infOmer.
81 was soon liberated and allowed to
mount my horse. The grizzly man
gave me instructions in regard to the
road to Harvey's, and bade me good
night in spirit of friendship. When

called to me to stop | did not know
whether to fly or obey, but knowing
that the distillers could, by their knowl-
edge of the country, soon head me off

peared.

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

DR.. Brown-Sequard has discovered q
new anesthetic which destroys sens
ibility, but not consciousness or phys"
ical activity, for an entire day or more.
1t is. found by the survey of the
Great Lakes that there is slight tide
in them but not of sufficient extent to
be noticeable without special care, the
amount of rise and fall not exceeding
two inches.
1t is denied by Schmidt Muhlheinr
that the formation Of part of the milk
obtained from COW begins with the
process of milking, and that the udder
is too small to give room for all the
fluid to be obtained at one milking.
On the contrary, the most thorough
effort will leave some milk in the
ducts, whence it is driven into the
milk reservoirs by the newly formed
secretion pushing from behind, and
which may be obtained after the lapse
of an hour from the time the milking
began.

but this is represented by 1850 heat
units, colza oil lamp by $500. tat
wick petroleum lamp by 1900, aparaf-

FORE the heat of an electric arc lamp

A new explosive has been invented
by NJ, Turpin, a Parisian chemist. 1t
is said to be very powerful, and, un"
like nitro-glycerine, dynamite and gun
cotton, it has the highly important
property Of not being affected by con-
cussion, 1t is made by the conbina-
ton Of two liquids which can be trans
ported like ordinary chemicals and need
Dnly be mixed when the explosive is
about to be used. 1t can be employed
in its liquid form, or when absorbed by
;ilicious earth. Frost does not affect
it. At Cherbourg experiments have
been made with this substance upon
;laty rocks containing quartz, and also
upon old cement-work, and the report
of the engineers praises it very much.

An Incident of the Crimea.

A formidable mine had been dug and
loaded under the Malakoff tower If
General MacMahOn had not CHANGED to
discover in the barrack one wire lead
ing from a well.cOn cealed vo)taic-pile
to large quantity of powder under it,
and another connecting it with the
powder magazine, the whole victorious
force might have been blown into the
air after having gained possession Of
the fort. The wires were cut, but the
powder magazine could not be found.
Some of the French soldiers were set
ting fire to the empty gabions which
had been thrust into the small win
dows of the homb-prOOf cellar under
the tower, in order to barricade it
One of the gabions appeared to be
moving. A French officer called out
that if any one was there who could
speak French he might come out with
out fear. The gabion was pushed
through the window, and a very
young Russian officer crept out. He
was assured that he and any others
surrendering as prisoners of war would
be we'll treated. After saying few
words In Russian at the window he
was joined by four officers and 200
common soldiers, They begged,
through him, to be taken away at
once This request suggested some
knowledge of an impending explosion
The young ollicerwas therefore ordered
to point out the position of the powder
magazine. The lad made no answer
A French subaltern said in loud
voice to the commanding officer that
the Russian ought to be shot if he re-
fused to obey the order given to save
50 many lives, The youth kept ST.
lence, with naughty glance of indig-
nation at the subaltern, apparently for
supposing that he would betray a
secret under threat. The French
chief formed a platoon to shoot him
and he turned to face his executiOners
An old Russian major, who seemed to
understand French, ran forward, took
the commandant by the hand, drew
him to Il heap of earth, and pointed
downward The earth was quickly
shoyeled away, and barrels containing
$4,000 tons of gunpOwder were dis
covered. A strong French guard was
placed over them. The young Russian
officer was told to go with the other
prisoners lie gave a military salute
and kissed the old Russian majors
hand. "Do not blame him for show
ing you the powder" he said in French
to the commandant, with a trembling
voice and tears in his eyes. "He is

Distance.

How many leagu' 3 Of weary land and sea
Can place thy spirit far apart from miner
Can lure from distance dim some silent sign
To set my soul eniranchised lar from thee
Aiar from eyes that never leave me free,
From tones that stir my heart like mounting
wine,
From presence thralling as some dream d..

Alas! by night and day all stay with me.
There is no distanoe--not for those who know
The silent countersign that makes them one,
Whose thoughts are messengers that btrn and
glow
With loves fleet messages the winds outrun.
Go, sail the seas! Go, seek the rising sun!
Beyond my constant heart thou oanst not go.

The utmost limit of human SWIM
ming speed is two miles in one hour,
and nine miles has never been done in
five hours. Yet in the face of these
facts, we are told that a young woman
swan, June 30 eighteen miles in less
than five hours, the truth being that
she swan six or seven miles and drift
ed the remainder of the distance. We
also learn that Il man swan in the
Hudson twenty miles in. six hours; and
also read of two gentlemen, who, only
a few days ago, swan five miles in one
hour and ten minutes. A simple illus
tration will reduce these erroneous re-
ports to their fundamental absurdity.
Suppose that three ordinary swimmers
be thrown into the East river, foot of
Eighty-third street, New York, at the
middle of ebb tide Let the first swim
down toward the Battery, and in about
fifteen minutes he will pass the Black
well island hospital, having, according
to the new style Of report, swum a
mile and a half in fifteen minutes. Let
the second man lie on his back and
float, without moving hand Or foot. In
about twenty-five minutes he will also
pass the hospital, without swimming a
stroke. Let the third man swim up
stream toward Harlem, and in about
forty-five minutes he will find himself
drifting, feet first, down by the hospi-
tai. He could not have swum there.
for he swan all the time in the other
direction. A little study of these ex-
amples would tend to increase th e ac-
curacy and intelligibility of swimming
reports.

Father Dyer, Methodist minister,
was the pioneer preacher in Colorado.
He brought prayer over in a wheel
barrow before any of the Pullman
sleeper preachers arrived. lt.is re-
lated of Father Dyer that when he first
landed in what is now Denver he saw
before him large tent, and to that,
supposing camp meeting was in
progress, he wended his way. To his
astonishment he found-not camp
meeting, but very extensive series of
games, such as faro, poker, keno and
the like going forward. He remained
about the tent for forty eight hours,
looking very intently upon the progress
of the games At the end of that
period he stepped upon a table and
said, in a voice loud enough to be heard
all about him: "Boys, l have looked at
your game now for the past eight and
forty hours. Now, l ask you to give
some attention to mine. Let us pray
They had not known before that the
solemn-looking man was minister,
but at the invitation hats were taken
off, chips were dropped, and all bowed
their heads in prayer, with Father
Dyer leading. And that was the FIRST
public prayer uttered in the Pixies
Peak country. After the prayer had
been concluded the games were re-
sumed

A THIEF'S CURE.
Phe Unfortunate Mania From which n
Convict was Relieved by surgeon.

The Unfortunate Mama FROM WhMh "
Convict was Relieved by Surgeon.
Said Governor Blackburn, OF Ken
tucky:
81 knew a young man of excellent
family who had the misfortune to be
wounded in the head with pistol-ball.
Shortly after he had apparently recoV-
cred he robbed a store of a lot of stuff
that was of no earthly value to him.
lie then stole a buggy, loaded the other
stolen property into the vehicle and
hauled the entire business into piece
Of woods, where he concealed the
buggy and contents. The young man
was arrested, the property he took was
recovered, and he was sent to the
Frankfort penitentiary. He served
his time out, and, going back home
burglarized the same store, taking the
same class of goods, which he loaded
into the buggy he had run off with be-
fore, and he concealed the things III
the same place he had hidden them on
the occasion of his first offensc.
"Once more the youth was sent to
the penitentiary and had nearly COM
pleted his second term when | got a
friend of mine, whom | knew to tie an
intelligent gentleman, to act 2S physl-
clan to the prisoners. The case
speak of was brought to his attention
because it was one of unusual inter-
est. The doctor gave it rs his opinion
that the bullet which had struck the
young mans head had indented the
skull sufficiently to cause it to press
on the mans brain, and that this was
the reason he committed the burglaries
that couldn't possibly benefit him, but
were sure to send him to prison. Ihe
doctor said that he believed the young
man could be cured by trepanning the
skull, but as his time was about to eX-
pire, he wouldn't take the responsible
ity of performing the operation. SO
the prisoner was shortly afterwaro
sent home. He lost no time in loading
up the old buggy again with the same
class of goods that he had obtained
on two previous occasions when he
burglarized the same store that ne en-
tered for the third time. or course,
Immediately after the things ana the
buggy were missed, the owners knew
where to find them, and in no time at
all my young friend was back at the
prison.
"The doctor then said that he was
going to trepan that fellows head If 1t
was the last act of his official life, the
death of the prisoner, and he did. Not
only that, but he did it successfully,
and | pardoned the young man. lie
went home and behaved himself like
perfect gentleman, sir, and never made
the slightest attempt to steal even q
pin firmly believe that if that man
had not been operated upon he would
have repeated the olfense of burglar
izing that store and hiding that old
buggy in the woods till doomsday,
could he live SO long. There is moth
ing like having intelligent officers
about a prison, sir. They save lie and
reputation, sir, and property. y.'-Cm~

Swimming In High Attitudes.

Tenderfeet should know, and all
others should not forget, that it is
more difficult to keep ailoat in a high
altitude than in a lower altitude. That
accounts for the numerous cases Of
drowning even in comparatively small
streams. Young men who could
swim with great facility in the east
have found out to their sorrow, and
too late, that they could not do the
same in Colorado The light 'atmos-
phere considerably reduces the buoyant
power of water. This is the case to a
remarkable degree on Lake Tahoe, the
highest body of water on the conti-
nent. In this water even pine wood
sinks, and when a man is drowned his
body never rises, "

| found all of my friends well and preparing
to enjoy good Christmas, which they did,

of man could wish. | find this splendid
country so far, all that is needed is for a
railroad for the farmers to ship their products
by, and it will become one of the best farming
districts Of the state. Besides farming, this
ncighborhood has Il vast quantity OF coal:
lead and copper ores are SAID to- be IN paying
quantities. besides we have lime stone i'll
abundance. But the need Of railroad it is
hoped will not be much longer felt, as a route
for one is being surveyed at the present time.
The surveyors are expected to pass through
this neighborhoOd next week. | have not
time to write all that ! would at this time, but
will say something of the people of this place,
they having all been strangers III strange
land, they seem to have Il kindred feeling for
all new Corners, and know how to treat
stranger when one comes III their midst.
Although they may seem somewhat rough III
their manners and ways, | believe them to be
honest. The best | can say of society here,
is to tell you that they do not think of lock
ing doors when they go to bed; why, the
