SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

According to NJ. Dreulafait the mean
daily evaporation of the water of the sea on
the southern coast of France is at least six
milimeters.
The complete destruction of the carcasses
of animals that have died OF contagious
diseases is recommended by NJ. Girsrd.
He would dissolve the bodies in cold con-
centrated sulphuric acid.
It is reported in the Gaceta Industrial
that the Metallurgical Society of San Juan
de Alcsrez has succeeded In manufacturing
excellent copper tubes without soldering,
and so as to be able to compete with all
other similar products.
The scintillation of stars, Montiguy as
serss, increase during auroras, the increase
being very marked IN winter. The differ.
ence is most noticeable in the northern
stars. When magnetic disturbance is in
Dictated at the Brussels Observatory the
frequency of the scintillation becomes
greater with the intensity of the storm.
Considerable obscurity hangs about this
whole subject
This is new German method for pre-
pairing a pressed enamel upon glass: A
mixture of dry enamel, thick pine oil and
dammar lac is laid on the glass in semi
dried state. After drying the drawing is
pressed in. The enamel is then burned.
In this way it is possible to reproduce the
forms OF figures in slight relief, the feath-
ers of birds, the hairs of animals, and the
veins of leaves.
Prof O. c. Marsh-see August number
of the Journal of the Franklin Institute
is confirmed in his opinion that the foot
prints in the sandstone in the yard of the
State Prison, near Carson, New, had not
been made by the human foot as had been
supposed, but by some huge Edentatea.
He states that the important fact has
lately been determined that some of the
tracks show impressions of the fore feet.
Very little concussion was felt from the
firing Of tie S0-ton guns by those manag.
ing them inside the new turret On Dover
pier. At tie recent trial bsttering charges
were used. The only damage done by the
monster ordnance during the firing was
the scrspipg Of some of the cement and the
breaking of the glass of the lighthouse.
Five rounds In all were discharged, but the
test lasted two hours.

"PATENT MEDICINE SToRY.-The Ma
rysville appeal stands sponsor for this an.
ecdote:
One of our druggists relates curious
story of medicine-p eddler who visited
this city some years ago. The peddler got
the druggist to make half-gallon mixture
of various cheap and familiar substances,
and with this preparation the peddler filled
number of small bottles. which he labeled
80 Rheumatic Liniment." After the first
half-gallon of the stuff had been disposed
of in this manner, the peddler procured
another lot of the mixture. With this he
filed some more bottles, labelling them
Blood Purifier" After the sale of the
Blood Purifier" was exhausted, he put
up and sold more of the same stuff under
the name of Liver Regulator" Again
he went to the druggist for more of the
mixture, and, emitting the single ingredi
ent of turpentine, the preparation was next
bottled as argus Eye Water" Last of
all, with the turpentine restored, this won
derful preparation was put up and sold as
" Lightning Furniture Polish. 1t is not
every vender of medicines who can devise
SO catholic formula as that possessed by
the druggists ingenious customer.

The stage was bright, the plaudits rang,
The play was nearly DER;
With happy voice the player sang
Love IS for eyermore =
Z" She never sang or looked so fair"
The people whispered low;
But the real tale of the woman there
Nobody cared to know.
The circus crowd was gay and glad,
Aud loud the whirling ring;
Huzza the rider rode lik mad,
as jocund as a king.
Huzza to watch him laugh and leap.
They cheered him high and low;
But the tears that lay in mis- bosom deep
Nobody cared TO know.
And we all are players for our day,
On the stage of life VIC fare,
Each with his little part TO play,
Each with his mask to wear,
And what is real It's vain to ask,
And what is only show;
For what lies hidden behind the mask
Only ourselves may know.

Enough to Make a Horse Laugh.

When a. leading Republican paper
soberly declares that 60 one of the most
prominent and commendable features
of the Republican party is its readiness
and its determination to abolish abuses
within the party" we are necessarily
reminded of the Joke that made horse
laugh. This" declaration is of that
measure, for there assuredly was never
a'party of any influence in American
5politicS more notoriously incapable OF
abolishing abuses which are calculated
to weaken its hold on the country than
this same Republican party. For some
thing more than score of years it has
ruled the country, and within that
period has developed an Infinite cata-
logue-of abuses not a single one of
which has the party as a party ever
sought to abolish until it was carried
unwillingly into the work of reform by
an Irresistible whirlwind of public SEN
timent. Seek the records and not a
single trifling exception will be found
from the beginning'of the catalogue ito
the end. Yet that tells but half the
tale, and the best half, for the Repub-
ican party, as it is equally true, to the
eternal humiliation of the Republican
party. that the uniform and invariable
failure to secure adequate punishment
of those who have been guilty of
the abuses it is clainled have
been abolished. has been due
to the active and efficient
sympathy of the highest officials of the
Government with the guilty offenders,
Let Babcock and Belknap and Dorsey
and Brady speak for the truth of that
charge. Who can question what'would
have been their portion if there had
been any readiness and determina-
ton in Grant, Garfield and Arthur to
''abolsh abuses within the party?'
Where is the exception to discontinued
and persistent course of resistance to
all reform, even where public opinion
had compelled action? It will be sought
in vain in the records of the Credit
Mobilier, whisky-ring, Belknap and
Star-route reforms, and it would take
powerful microscope to find to-day any
readiness or determination to carry out
the reform of the Civil Service, which
the emasculated Pendleton bill was pro-
fessedly passed to secure. There was
considerable readiness and much de-
termination exhibited in every depart
ment of the Government when the time
approached for the law to go into effect,
but as the hole'country knows itwas,
as usual, exclusively exercised tojpre-
vent and not to accomplish reform. It
is this ineradicable characteristic that
is fast driving voters out of the Repub-
lican party, convincing them that moth
ing can be worse, and anything must
be better than the rule of party SO
unalterably ranged against all reform.
