SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Lieut.. Julius Won Payer, one of the
discoveries of Franz Josef Sand, has
given up Arctis exploration for art,
and has just completed series of four
paintings illustrating the last polar
expedition of Sir John Franklin.
In Berlin electricity has been ap.

The eggs are placed in circular box,
or incubator, over coil of wire, and
the wire is heated by the electric cur

regulates the temperature by cutting
the wire coil out of circuit when the
heat becomes too great.
A recent calculation shows that a
man weighing 40 pounds and run
ming a mile in six minutes performs
work about equal to that of half

does work equal to that of q quarter
horse engine, and consumes only one
twentieth of the weight Of food OF

Fargo Republican: In the United
States the growing distance between
the extremes of wealth and poverty
is very great at all times, but it is
never so strongly marked as in periods
of commercial distress. While the
cities are full of idle mechanics and
laborers, and the scarcity of work is
followed by low wages and suffering,
the balls and parties of the rich are
as magnificent as eyer and the sums
lavished upon amusements and lux
uries ofall kinds are enormous. ct is
a state of affairs impossible to change
greatly for the better but with no pa
triotic citizen can contemplate with
pleasure. If there Ia any time
when great wealth should be less os-
tentatious than another, it is when
there 10 unusual sufferings among the
poor and depressed. A little more
than year ago, just before Christ
mas, there was representation in q
shop window of an eastern city, of
Christmas eve in the parlors of the
rich, and in the novels of the very
poor. The contrast was extreme and
horrible. Several thoughtful people
protested to the proprietor that it was
injudicious to harrow the feelings of

Minnesota is one of the most prosper
GUS States in the Union. It is increas-
ing very rapidly in wealth and popu-
lation. Its manufacturing enterprises
are large and important. Its lumber
ing resources are immense, while the
agricultural industries are not only
great but reliable from the certainty
of good crops in each succeeding year.
The yield for 1883, was as follows
wheat, 3s, 3O5, 1873 bushels; oats 81, 49,
500 bushels rye, 439, 17S bushels. The
population in 1880 was 7sO,77S. 1t is
larger than the united areas of the
New England States and Maryland,
ornearly as large as Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania combined. The average of the
wheat crop for the past nine success
i've years was IS, 112.O4s bushels.

Well may we doubt the success OF
alchemists of old in their search for
the "elixir OF life," but if the views
published in England by Mr.. w. o.
Dawson are correct, modern science
at least appears to be able to retard
the progress of old age. Mr.. Dawson
tells us that the changes which pro-
duce old age are due to an excessive
action of the oxygen we breathe and
to the accumulation of lime salts in
the body. He does not state whether
the oxygen effects may be in any de-
gree counteracted, but he believes
that life may be prolonged by reduc-
ing the calcareous deposits to a mini
mum. This he would accomplish by
a plan suggested by Mr.. de Lacy
Evans. The plan is to avoid food
containing large proportion of earth
salts-such as the meat from old an
imaIs-and to use daily, after middle
life, several glasses of distilled water
containing a few drops of phosphoric
acid. Distilled water is necessary on
account of its great solvent power.

Bulwer's Gambling.

Early n morning Bulwer, the nov
elist, returned to his hotel from a gam
bling house, where he had been passing
the last hours of the night. For the
first time III his life he had played high;
and, with the 'insidious good fortune so
frequently attendant on the first steps
along what would otherwise be the
shortest and least attractive pathway to
perdition. he had gained largely. The
day was dawning when he reached his
own rooms. His writing-desk stood
upon a console in front of a mirror: and
pausing over it tolock uphis winnings,
he was started and shocked by the re-
fsction of his face in the glass behind
it. The expression Of the countenance
was not only haggard, it was sinister.
He had ,risked far more than he could
afford to lose; his luck had been extra
ordinary and his gains were great. But
the ignoble emotions Of the night had
left their lingering traces in his face.
and as be caught sight of his own fea-
lures still working and cleaning with
the fever Of . vicious excitement he,
for the first time, despised himself. It
was then he formed q resolution that,
be the circumstances what they might,
no inducement, whether OF need or,
greed, should again tempt him to be-
come a gambler.

Woman Suffrage In England.

Letter to the Editor OF the Pal Mall Gazette.
The advocates of woman's suffrage
and Of woman in public work are fond
of taking it for granted that their opins
ions are gaining ground in the Liberal
Party. For myself, with fair opportu-
mites of Judging, I doubt it. The ex-
perience of the election OF guardians ia,
not favorable to them, and with regard
to woman on school boards and other
public bodies, where are the eases in
which they have been of service? I'm
fortunate in public business as in pri-
vate life, it is found that women are ant
to form their opinions by their likes
and dislikes, and to be moved by per
sonal reasons rather than by the merits
of the questions at issue, and this has
made them often the cause of ill feeling
and discomfort in the boards on which
they have sat. There has been nothing
in the work which they have contributed
to counterbalance this. They have
done nothing which could not have been
as well or better done by men. They
often expect while sitting on public
boards as much Difference as all men are
glad to render them in their own draw
ing room, and are sometimes as huffy
and waspish in tae one place as in the
other when they do not get it. There
are eases in which woman have distinct
ly lowered tile character Of the boards
on which they sit, as some men of the.
best qualifications for the work decline
to sit with them.

Charles, Chief Justice of India, had

her. Lady Sandys said
that there were some clever chem

A Page From the Novel.

A strange story Of wandering. hard
ship and final return to his native land
as heir to a fortune came to light at
Philadelphia, Wednesday, concerning a
young Scotchman of high family named
William Anderson. About two years
age he had a disagreement with his
father, q wealthy, conservative gentle
man of the old school. His parents
stern Presbyterian code prevented HIM
from winking at oome of his sons esca-
pades, and the latter, in hot-headed
haste, left his home near Inverness and
took a sailing vessel for Liverpool,
whence he came to New York. his
habits cost him the situation he found
on his arrival and he went to work as
porter in q Bowery carpet store. he
went to Denver, and became q cowboy.
He returned to Chicago as a
vagrant, and as such reached Philadel-
phia. Lodging was given him at the
Broad street station January % and at
the sixth district the Saturday follow
ing. At the rooms of the local Scotch
society lie claims little attention was
paid to him. In a deplorable state OF
need he wandered from door to door.
In Chestnut street he was given a cold
lunch with q piece of the Ledger wrap
ped about it. CHANGING to look ct the
letter list he saw his name. Without
much faith in the result he called at
the p~ostoffice and received n letter
which had been sent to him at North"
Eighteenth street. New York, and for
warded to Philadelphia. Attorneys an
nounced to him in this communication
the death of his sister a year pre-
vous, the recent demise OF
his father, and the fact that 100000
awaited his claim. He said Wednesday
that if he had not happened to look at
his name in the letter list he probably
would not have learned of the state of
affairs at all, as he had determined to
die rather than to write or to return to
his home. When he made known the
facts he had learned to G. w. Childs
that gentleman Immediately purchased
him an outfit and q ticket for Liverpool.
He sailed Wednesday on the steamer
British Prince. He says he thinks he
will go back to Colorado and buy Il
ranch.

A Consular Humorist
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
Mr.. Bret Harte is United States Con-
sul at GLASGOW; or, to be more accurate,
he is United States Consul seldom Mt
GLASGOW. He is also humorist. In his
latter capacity he sent a letter to the
Secretary of State asking to be in
formed, in his former capacity, as to the
views of the department concerning
the definition to be given to the phrase
Sat the last port or place whence ex-
ported to the United States" The joke
worked admirably. The estimable old
lady at the head Of the State Depart
ment found the problem too deep for
her, and transmitted Mr.. Harte's letter
to the Treasury Department. Secre-
tary Folger wrestled with the question
and used about four sheets of foolscap
in replying that "the last port" meant
the last port. Then an appraiser Mt
Philadelphia got mixed up in the joke,
and Assistant Secretary French wrote
him a long letter explaining that 1.-The
form of expression, last port or place
was used so as to distinguish the last
port or place of shipment from any
prior port OF place from which it might
be shipped"

eclipse all things, he had failed to dis
cover what did.
