enough for them and this unpopular coin is pill

The preserving of fresh meat by
means of a mixture of carbonic oxide
and carbonic acid is the subject Of a
recent English patent. The former
gas alone is highly infammable and
very explosive when mixed with air,
while the carbonic acid by itself dis
colors fresh meat and gives it an acid
taste. When used together, in pro-
portions Of not less than S. per cent
nor more than IS per cent of carbonic
&C d to not more than IS per cent nor
less than IS per cent of carbonic
oxide, the mixture preserves meat un-
changed, and cannot be set on fire.
From communications to the French
Academy of Sciences it appears that
thermometers AMI other instruments
may undergo considerable change dur
ing long heating. In manufactures Of
printers ink, where oils are heated to a
temperature of 5sS degrees Fahren
heit for many days, the most acurate
Thermometers often become so mod
fled as TO indicate errors of ten degrees
or more: while in sugar refneries the
areom -ters are similarly changed b
long immersion in liquids by having the
much lower temperature of 2o3 degees.
A catalogue Of British birds has

The people should in unmistakable
terms let school teachers in their re-
spective districts know that they are
not popular as school teachers unless
such, teachers will use their undivided
efforts toward bringing about a repeal of
that Infamous species of robbery
known as the school book law. Teach
ers should be furcibly impressed with
this matter, because teachers alone. if
ifthey SO desire, could easily bring
about the repeal Of this law if they
favor such repeal and advocate its re-
peal They should therefore be made
to know that they do not deserve the
confidence and respect due to teachers
when they will stand by and see the
people of the landrob' c of the;r money
by a legalized steal when they as teach
ers could so easily bring about repeal
of the cause.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

A new adultcrant of ground pepper
has boea exposed by German chem
lst, the material consisting of ground
kennels of olive berries. Adulteration
by this substance is readily detected
by scattering the suspected mixture
upon a mixture of equal volumes Of
glycerine and water, when the pepper
floats upon the surface and the olive
kernels sink.

In paper on myopia, or short

G. s., states that the defect Is one of
civilization and culture, and that it
does not appear among the untutored

countries, but, especially so in Ger
many, where the subject of betterlng
the eyesight OF the nation is receiving
a great amount of attention. Among
the causes OF myo. ia have been found
the ovcrtaxing of The Strength of chill

work requiring the ciose application OF

more liable to cause injury to the eyes
of young students than the Roman

A most remarkable discovery is that
