SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The spectrum of the Pons- Brooks comet
has been examined by Mons. Trepied oil
Algiers, who finds it to be practically identi-
cal with the spectrum of an alcohol flame
Mr.. w. Spring has found that the perma-
nent compression of solids by pressure of
10000 atmospheres is slight, and some sub
stances even retain their original volume
after having been subjected to that tre-
mendous pressure.
A disease parasite has been found in the
common onion by Mons. Joannes Chatin.
1t has been examined by Mons. Pasteur,
who finds it to be similar to the parasite of
mildew in wheat. Plants which are at
tackled should be pulled up and burned.
A French scientist, Mons Duchatre, has
shown that moonlight as well as sunlight
may have an influence upon plant-growth..
Seedlings of lentils, vetches, etc., which
had been kept in dark place, at once be-
gan to bend towards the moon when ex-
posed to its light, and continued to move
with it.
An observatory provided with instru-
ments for studying earthquake phenomena
has been established i'll a Japanese coal
mine by Prof. Milne of Toxic, AS the
mine runs under the sea, the influence of
the tides in depressing the ground will be
included among the observations, as will
also the conditions attending escapes of
fre-damp.

SCROFULA

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysfpe-
las, Eczema, BIotches. Ringworm. Tu-
1nors, Carbunc1es, ,Boils, and Eruptions
of the Skin, are the direct result of an
impure state of the blood.
To cure these diseases the blood must be
purified, and restored to healthy and ma
tural condition. AYERS SARsAPARILLA has
for over forty years been recognized by emil
nent medical authorities as the most pow
erful blood purifier in existence. 1t frees
the system from all foul hulnors, enriches
and strengthens the blood, removes all traces
Of mercurial treatment, and proves itself a
complete master of all scrofulous diseases.
A Recent Cure of scrofu1ous Sores.
"Sone months ago was troubled with
scrofulous sores ulcers on my legs. The
limbs were badly swollen and in1amed, and
the sores discharged large quantities of
offensive matter. Every remedy / tried
failed, until used AYERS SARsAPAR1LLA,
Of which I have now taken three bottles,
with the result that the sores are healed,
and my general health greatly improved.
l feel very grateful for the good your
medicine has done me.
Yours respectfully, MRs. ANN O'BR1AY."
