Another Now Gable.

Holders of Anglo American who have
not recovered from the scare of the
threatened competition of the Bennett
Mackay cable will be grieved TO
hear that scheme for crossing the
Atlantic by another telegraphic line is
exciting much comment among tho cap
italists OF Copenhagen. 1t is proposed
to start from Thnrso, in Scotland, frem
there to run to the Farce Islands, and
from the Farce Islands to Iceland, and
from Iceland to the west coast of Green
land, whence it dips southwark to Law
renee Bay. striking the American conti-
nent finally at Gaspe hlrbor. The total
length of the cable is to be 1850 miles.
The longest section will be less than 900
miles, and on that account it is antici-
pated that it will do the work of any
two of the cables now uniting Europe
and America. The scheme has not yet
advanced beyond the stage of project,
but holders OF Anglo American are like
ly to have a lively time.-PaH Mall

London Streets at Night.

From 8 O'Clock in the evening the
finest part Of London is entirely given
up to debauchery. Respectable English
men do not walk about in the evening.
The men that you see in Regent street
are mostly foreigners or provincials who
have come up town for a round of dissi-
patton. Several years ago the public
bathrooms were closed and the market.
which used to be held within four walls,
Is now transferred TO the open street.
The police des mGurs does not exist In
London, and the capital OF this country,
M moral and 40 Christian, exhibits nights
too heartrending to imagine. Girls OF
IA or Is, with dyed hair and wan looking
faces daubed with paint, stand about
drunk and in rags soliciting tho passers-
by for vile wage. Worn out with
fatigue they drop in the gutter at day
break. They have been up and down
the street for six mortal hours! 1t is
horrible The inhabitants Of London
are beginning to take the matter up;
petitions nre being prepared. 1t is hign
time. The drunkenness on the streets
is indescribable. On Saturday night it
is general witches sabbath. The
women drink tn almost as great an extent
as the men. In Scotland they equal them.
In Ireland they surpass them. My
authority is an official report made to
the English government in lS77.-Mas

W. Matticu Williams, in POpula,
Sricacc MoRthlH says: | must here
throw myself into the great controversy
of Jackets or no jackets. Should potatoes
be peeled before cooking, or should
they be boiled in their jackets? | say
most decidedly in jackets, and will
state my reasons. From 50 to St per
cent of the above-stated saline consti-
tuents Of the potato is potash, and
potash is an important constituent oil
blood-so important that in Norway,
where scurvy once prevailed very seri-
ously, it has been banished since the
introduction of the potato, and, ac-
cording to Lang and other good au-
thorities, it is owing to the use of this
vegetable by people who formerly
were insutliciently supplied with saline
vegetable food.
Potash salts are freely soluble in
water, and | find that the water in
which potatoes have been boiled con-
tains potash, as may be proved by boil
ing it down to concentrate, then filter
ing and adding the usual potato test
platinum chloride.
1t is evident that the skin of the
potato must resist this passage of the
potash into the water, though it may
not fully prevent it. The bursting OF
the skin only occurs at quite the latter
stage of the cookery. The greatest
practical authorities on the potato
Irishmen, appear.t to be unanimous. |
do not remember to have seen pre-.
peeled potato in Ireland. | find that
can at once detect by the difference
of flavor whether potato has beer
boiled with or without its jacket, ant
this difference is evidently saline.

Under certain circumstances ice does
not behave as a solid, but as a viscous
fluid, like very thick treacle. Glaciers
do not move down in one block, hut
flow, accommodating themselves to the
varying width of their channel. Prot.
Tyndall planted row of sticks in
straight line across a glacier, and after
a few days the line had become cres-
cent, with a concayity upward, show
ing that the middle Of the glacier
moved faster than the sides, just as i'll
river the stream is stronger in the
center. Two theories have been put
forward to account for the viscosity OF
ice; one is that it is true viScoslty,
and the other that it is produced by the
effect of pressure in lowering the treez-
ing point of water, 50 that whenever
the ice is sub jected to great pressure it
melts The water then yields to the
pressure, and instantly re-freezes in its
new shape.
Astrikingexpcriment illustrates this
A block of ice being laid across the
back of two chairs, a fine iron wire is
put over it, to which is hung u heavy
weight. In short time the wire
passes completely through the ice, and
allows the weight to fall, while the ice
is not broken, nor is mark visible
where the wire has passed through.
The explanation of this is that the
pressure of the wire melts the ice i'm
mediately below it. The water is dis
placed by the wire and fills the space
above it, where the pressure being re-
moved it instantly re-freezes. The Wis
costly of ice can be shown by cutting a
long, thin slab of ice, and supporting it
on two chairs, when it will, even in a
temperature below freezing, gradually
bend with its own weight.

l have seen Il heavy pack train turn
aside for one lying asleep on the
cobbles. So fully assured are they Of
their social position that they have lost
the sensltiveness one expects from the
race in civilization. One day in the
fish market greasy, yellow fellow
walked into a stall and selected good
sized lish while the vender's back was
turned, hauled it down and began lick
ing it preparatory to making meal.
a Turk never allows his religion to
drop into matters Of loss and gain, and
the owner Of the fish sacrlligiously
interfered with a club. A civilized
dog would have taken the hint and
departed, but this canine saint had too
much respect for his cloth. Relying
on his sanctity, at the first blow he
sat down on the pavement by the fish
and lifted up his voice to heaven in a
howl. lie shiyered and squirmed and
wrinkled his skin as the blows grew
more persuasive, but it was some min
utes before he was convinced that the
affair was not joke; and that he really
was not wanted. 1t is the foreigners
who abuse them most. 1t is hard for
a Christian not to kick dog when it
takes up the road and makes no effort
to give room. But they return good
for evil, and, at the most, do little
more than howl. They never move
certainly. | kicked one that was sit
ting on the pavement so hard behin(
that he tilted clear over and struck or
his nose. lie did not pay any attention
or make a sound. lie just tilted bact
into his old position and went on sun

around They are even more impasSiY'
