SCIENTIFIC CHAT.

A Paris paper tells of new science, PIo-
grGphic-the art of discriminating character by the
beard. Close-growing hair indicates vigorous
temperament and decided temper; coarse hair,
obstinaey; fine hair, refinement and erTatic ten
dencies; curly boards appertain to brilliant and
sprightly but superficial persons; harsh to amable
but cold natures. The character of a man Is va
rously indicated according he wears his hair,
beard, mustache, etc.
DR. Deschamps asserts that the microbe of
scarlet fever is bacillus shaped like hair with
long swelling of the upper part. 1t reproduces
rapidly, but is easily killed by all the leading dis
infectants, particularly by the new chemical,
thymol.

Size of the Brain in Animals.
[Dr. Hammond, in Popular Science Monthly Jfo
NOue1nber.


Among mammals we find still greater in
crease in the weight of the brain as compared
with that of the body. Leuret found it to
range in the monkeys from as / to %, 2l, and
%; in the dolphin it was as / to Sc; in the
cat, as to 81; in the rat, as l to 100; in the
fox, as l to 20o; in the dog, as to 305; in the
sheep, as l to 351 /; in the horse, as to 700
and. in the OK, as 1 to $50! The mean for the
class of mammals, exclusive of man, was as l
to 1885, My own observations accord very
closely with those of cLeuret found that in
the prairie wolf the proportion between the
brain and the body was as 1 to 220; in the
wild cat, as to 1853; and in the rat, as 1 to 1872.
If these figures teach anything at all, it is
that there is no definite relation existing be-
tween the intelligence of animals and the abso-
lutte relative size Of the brain. 1t is true
that, taking the data collected by Leuret as
the basis, there is a,well- defined relation be-
tween the mental Development and the brain,
as regards the several classes Of vertebrate ami
mails; for in fishes, the lowest, the brain is but
one 5,665th part of the body; in reptiles, the
next highest, it is one 1,321st part; in birds,
next in the ascending scale, it is one 212th
part; and in mammals, the highest of ALL one
186th part. There is, therefore, beginning
with the lowest class . regular ascent in the
volume Of the brain till it reaches the maxi
mum in mammals

Anxious for the Season to Close.
[Cincinnotti Commercial Gasette.l

In certain portions of Louisiana, where
watermelOns grow on the malarial lowlands,
it is the common belief that too much indul-
gence in that fruit is productive of ague, or
chills and fever. At all events, about the
whole colored population in those districts be-
come annually afflicted with ague during the
watermelon season, while the whites, who are
more abstemious, are mostly free from it. 1t is
narrated that one morning near the close of
the season, Julius and Cato met in planta-
ton, each with large melon in his hand, and
both shaking with the chills until their shin
ing teeth cattered together noisly.
"How is yo' dis mornin, Julius?" asked
Cato; "any better dan de day befo' yester-
day?"
"Ohl I got de ague drefful bad, and Pm
powerful weak" replied Julius; "but do melon
season am about ober. Hain't got much mo-
N week longer, an den Well get ober de
trouble"
Yes" returned Cato "we'n get shut O. de
chiils den, suah.'
Neither of the honest darkies ever dreamed
of getting over his illness by putting any re-
straint to his appetite.

HELL GATEaIL+UMINATED.

pany, and nine lamps, each of 5000 candle
power, were cmployefl The experiment proved
a striking success in Every respect.
The tower of the lighthoase-which is hence
forth to light up theswaters of He'll Gate with
the brilliancy of day and thus enable the navi-
gator to pass with safety through the dangers
of the famous strait-censists of four corner
posts placed so as to form pyramid. The
posts are "a feet apart at the base and five feet
apart at the extremestpp. Each side is divided
into 10 panels, which taper toward the top
The columns are composed of two angles, unit
ed by systems of latticing. Each column is
anchored by bolts to block of concrete nine
feet square at the base and 10 feet high.
THE LIGHTS.
The gallery of the tower, where the lamps
are placed, is go feet above the ground. 1t is
IL feet wide. the projecting part being support
ed by braces resting against the columns.
There is a marine railing three feet four inches
high running around the gallery, and from this
railing the lamps are suspended IN q circle.
Above the gallery are cross bars supporting the
elevator, by means of which the top of the
tower is reached.
The news of the illuminating of the light
house by electricity had spread throughout the
city, and crowds gathered at various points
along the river to witness the effect. Their
trouble was well rewarded by the sight pre-
sented. When the power was turned on the
spectators first perceived dull glow high up
in the darkness of the night Then, an instant
later, there gushed forth such flood of light
as threw into brightest sprominence the dark
surroundings of He'll Gate. Brighter and
brighter, broader and broader, grew this lumi-
nous stream. 1t rolled back the darkness be-
fore it, until at last every object for miles
around was bathed in silvery showers.
THE NEIGHBoRHOoD LIT UP.
Far, far away in every direction stretched
the broad waves of light. bringing into bold re-
lief the spires and turrets and hOusetops of the
city, the shipping in the harbor, and the great
public buildings on RandalPs, Wards and
Blackwells Islands. To the north they fell
upon the slanting roofs of Harlem, to the west
they showed with distnctness the white walls
of pretty Astoria, and to the south they showed
the outlines of the big bridge stretching, like
some huge spider web, from shore to shore.
The bright shafts of light fell upon the waters
of the East River, which reflected them back
in myriad sciutillations.
The electrician of the Brush-Swan Electric
Light Company expressed himself as highly
satisfied with the experiment. The power for
the light is supplied by % horse power en-
gine. The light is the most powerful one in
use in any Lighthouse in the world.
