Time Occupied by a Dream.

A paragraph published in the Phila-
delphia Ledger some time ago, giving
a calculation of the speed of thought,
in dreams based upon case that hap
pened to present the required data, has
been widely copied and has called out
other stories and estimates of the
same kind. A correspondent of the
Scientific American relates that during
the Turco-Russian war a telegraph
operator ut Sedalia, Mo-, was receiving
press dispatch in which the name of
Gortschakoff frequently appe red.
The operator became so familiar with
: this succession of sounds that as soon
as the first syllable of the name had
been received he went TO sleer. had a
long and elaborate dream about a hunt
ng trip in the Indian territory. occupy
ng several days. and finally during
the division of the game woke up in
time to take the final syllable of
Gortschakoff's name and the rest of
the message. 1t is calculated that the
time occupiedsoy tais dream was forty
four one-hundredths Of a second. The
story is equally good. it will be observed
whether it is taken as a contribution to
science or to newspaper humor.-Troy

DIR. Klaczko of Vienna suggests {
powerful preventive of cholera in
petroleum or parafiiDe. In Galicia
says he, there are many petroleum
wells, and here it has been observed
that the workpeople have always
enjoyed perfect immunity from choI-
era, even when it has broken out with
great virulence in the district around
them. This fact the peasants them
selves attribute to the emanations
from the petroleum-laden soil, which,
they say, kill the pestilential germ and
all kinds of insects.
The remarkable fact has been de-
monstrated that railways may be the
means of enriching the flora of places
through which they pass. The extern
sion, in 1878, of an important road
into the province of Helsingland,
Sweden, has been followed by the
immigration along the line of no less
than seven species of plants which
were before unknown in districts
where they now appear One species
seems to have been spread twenty
miles along the railways course in
1882, and about one degree during the
last four years.
Prof. Thompson, in recent lecture,

been eastward before that year. Then
it began to move westward until 1916,
when the maximum was reached
This is now being steadily diminished
and in 1876 it win again point due

changes which will have been observ-
ed not only in the direction, but in
the strength of the earth's magnetism
will show that the same causes which
originally magnetized the earth are

IN A STAGE COACH.

hills that lay stretched out before her,
with here and there the fash of half
hidden lake, or the ribbon-like glitter
of tiny river.
She stood leaning az inst the rustic
cedar post that formed the support of
the hotel piazza. while her modest lit
tie trunk and traveling-bags were
piled up at the rear.
Don't fret. miss" said the landlady,
who was busting in and out. THE
stage will be along soon."
"Oh, am in no hurry for the stage"
said Lillian pleasantly. Il could stand
and look at this beautiful landscape all
day"
Amt that strange, nowr' reflective
iy uttered Mrs. Peck, the landlady.
"Me and Peck, we never think about it
at all"
''Is the stage often as late as this :"
said Lillian, glancing at her neat little
silver watch.
"Not generally" said Mrs. Peck.
"But to-day they're waiting, at Wells
Station, for the deaf-and-dumb gentle
man."
For whom 2" said Lillian, in amaze
ment.
For the deaf-and-dumb gentleman,
miss" explained Mrs. Peck. "A

amt no treatment can ever do him any

he was oorn. But they do say he's a
very learned man, in spite of all his
drawbacks"
I'm afraid he won't be a very lively
travelling companion" said Lillian,
smiling.
mo, l calculate not" said Mrs.
Peck, in a matter-of- sort of way.
Just at that moment boX-wagon
drove up; the charioteer handed out a
valise, and assisted a young lady to
alight.
"Has the stage gomez" she cried,
flinging aside her veil, and revealing a
very pretty brunette face shaded by
ietty fringes of hair and flushed with
excitement.
You're just in time, miss, said Mrs.
Peck, peering down the winding road,
which her experienced eye could trace,
when no ones else was of any avail.
"Its a-comin' nowl"
But Lillian Ferguson, who had been
gazing at the newcomer earnestly, now
came forward with an eager smile and
an outsUretched hand.

she, land this is Eulalie Morton?"

ponderous stage. relic of forgotten
/ generation, rolled up, with creak of
leathern curtains, tramp of horses, and
a general confusion Of arrival, to the
broad wooden steps of the hotel.
The sun was already down. In the
twilight, Eulalie and Lillian could only
discover that the stage contained but
one other occupant, a man, who leaned
back in the far corner. with the top of
his face partially hidden by a large
wide rimmed hat, and its lower part
wrapped in the folds of Persian silk

FATHER CURCI continues his warfare
on the abuses of the Papacy. The title
of his last book is "The Power of the
Vatican, the Surviving Worm of the
Catholic Church" At the conclusion
of his book he says that "the still be-
lieving portion of society desires to see
the Church such as it was established
by its Divine author, and the priest
hood, such as it was organised by st.
Paul in the persons of Timothy and
Titus; in the worship less of manifold
material forms, less of Madonnas and
Saints and more of Jesus Christ; and
in.the preaching less of modern miracles
and more of Holy Scripture and sci
ence."

FROM various quarters the good news
comes that the thraldom in which
Popery has long held Spain is being
more and more loosened on all sides.
Senior Castro in an article which APP
peared in La Luz, and which has been
translated into English, thus refers to
the fact:
Throughout Spain, Romanism exhibits many
plain and unmistakable signs of disintegration.
Tired of unbounded tyranny, the people either
chafe under Papaf bonds, or break away from
them altogether. No longer satisfied with bit
ter complaints and sharp circumstances, which
neither correct fragrant evils nor send relief they
declare open and desperate rebellion against the
church, and in a thousand ways illustrate their
hatred to sacerdotal pretensions. In some pro-
vinces civil burial associations secure freedom
from priestly intervention, their members in.
creasing as people decline the risk of being de
MED absolution in ertremis and church sepul
ture. Anti-religious societies spring up in every
direction, and those newspapers which direct
the fercest onslaught against Romanism obtain
the largest circulation.

The Dispatch of this city justly com
ments on the erratic theology of Mr..
Joseph Cook. Mr.. Cook, it seems, took
occasion, in an address ON the death of
Wendell Phillips, to state that Mr.. Phil
lips had gone to meet Garrison, Sumner,
Lincoln, Aristides, Scipio, and the Ro-
man Gracchi in heaven
Then what is he lecturing on Chris
tianity so much for? If Scipio and the
Gracchi are in heaven, why does he
preach to the heather? If Lincoln is
in heaven, on what ground did he get
there? Did he profess to be Chris
tian? We think not; and if he did, he
certainly never gave those evidences of
conversion which warrant Mr.. Cook in
affirming positively that he is in heaven.
We are far from sure, as the ques-
ton has been raised, that any of the
above parties are in heaven. And what
we especially reprobate is this custom
at the North among ministers calling
themselves evangelical of canonising
Lincoln, Sumner, and other abolition
agitators, without regard to any other
religious character than their good
standing as opponents of slavery. If
the Anti-slavery men are all saved, then
the Temperance men must come in,
and let us change the terms of the
gospel, and dispense with the atone
ment and Jesus Christ.
