SCIEltTIFIC SCRAPS.

The value of the dynamo-eleCtric
machine for use in tunnelling has
recently been demonstrated. The drill
is coupled to the spindle Of the dy-
namo, and the electric power brought
by wires into the tunnel. The same
current serves to light the scene of
operations and fire the blast. More
over it could be employed to draw out
the trucks with earth and rock, and
with economy, provided the power
were supplied by some waterfall or
stream in the neighborhood.
Hitherto it has puzzled eminent sur
geons to account for sudden death
caused by apparently inadequate
wounds in the heart, such as those
made by the prick, without penetration
even, of a needle. Herr Schmey, a
student Of the Physiological Institute,
Berlin, has, however, just discovered
that when a needle pricks certain
small spot on the lower border of the
upper third of the septum cords,
quite instantaneously the movements
of the heart are arrested and forever
set mOtlOnless in death.
Mr.. L. Wethered has investigated
the structure and formation of coal
lie concludes (l that some kinds of
coal were practically made up Of
spores while others were not, these
varieties often occurring in the bells
of the same seam, and (2) that the So
called bituminOus coal was largely
composed of the substance which he
termed hydro-carbon, to which the
wood tissue had contributed beyond a
doubt.
Some curious investigations have
been made by Dr. Richardson the ia
nous writer on the physiology of alco-
hol, showing that mortality from that
substance has its regular seasons in
England, declining below the mean
from February to April, rising to its
maximum in July, declining again
until the close of December, and
finally rising to the smaller maximum
in the first week in January. The
Government revenue returns are also
said to follow the same variation,
Mr.. Richard a. Proctor holds that
if the full power of the arms and legs
can be so applied to ingcniously ar
ranged mechanism as to work wings
more or less resembling those of bird
there is little reason of doubling mans
power of sustaining himself in the air
and even travelling with great rapidly
through it. Probably, he adds, it
will be much easier for him to sustain
himself while travelling rapidly on
ward than while lowering over the
same SpOt.

French Market in New Orleans.

Arriving at tic French market at
an early hour in the morning, says u
New Orleans correspondent, your eyes
behold a most remarkable sight. The
buildings devoted to this use cover
about three times the area embraced by
the Chicago Exposition building, and
YOU imagine that the inhabitants of the
whole city have come forth to do their
marketing and purchase their supplies
for the week. You hear a number of
languages spoien-French, Spanish,
German and llnglish-and see the rep
resentatives OF every nation on the face
of the earth. The French are talking
English, the negroes are talking
French, the German is trying his
tongue at both, and the nonplussed
Yankee shakes his head and won.

of the Tower of Babel has been watt

adapted to stock raising and agricul-

minerals, and waters teeming with
cod, halibut, and other excellent fish.
Their sole inhabitants down to the
present time with the exception of the
agents of the ITudsons Bay Company
and recently of the Skidegate Oil Man
ufacturing Company, are the llydah
tribe of Indians, now numbering about
800 souls. Among the Indians of the
Pacific Coast they are distinguished
for their fine physique, intelligence,
mechanical skill, enterprise and thrift.
Owing to their isolated position -
though mariners, traders, prospectors
and missionaries have skirted the
shores of these jslands-they are ut
the present time practically uncxplored
and unknown. But the advancing
tide of emigration is now setting far
up the north coast and will soon in
wade the home of the lIydahs. The
route thence from Victoria is through
a wonderland of unique and striking
topography, touching at numerous
Indian villages, trading and fishing
stations and missionary posts, present

interest. -PortlQnd (Or) West Shore.

Dog Stealing In New York.

This is Il lay pursued by boys with
much success, and it is surprising to
see the ingenuity practiced, writes the
New York correspondent of the Troy
Times. During the summer the gen
tlemen generally have their canin"
pets kept in their stables, which th'
bows contrve to enter under varioh
preteXts, and coax the dogs away b.
the use of little daintics. They then
wait till the pet is advertised and get
the reward. Another method is A.
follows: The pet dogs are frequently
taken out to walk, being held by =
cord The boy-thief cunningly passeI
along and cuts the latter with hl9
pocket knife, then catches up the AMI
nal and runs away with it. The an
nal is then advertised and the thiel
gets the reward, which in some ID
stances is $50. noticed in one of on
papers fourteen of such advertise
ments. 1t may be mentioned in thi:
connection that the senior Bennett
| (founder of the HeialR) was very fon'
of dogs and kept number of the best
breeds at his Fort Washington estaG
lshment. A butcher in that city once
mentioned that Bennett had paid hin
$40 at one time merely for dog-meat
Rather a heavy bill, but mere triti'
for millionaire. Bennett had wagct
war on mankind with such bitterness
that he knew that his dogs were hi

A Test for Butter.

Every housekeeper should know
how to tell oleomargarine from but
ter" said a Washington market dealer
to New York HeralH reporter. "Ihe
market is full of bogus butter, so skill
fully made that it cannot be told from
the genuine article by the eye or the
tongue To detect it market men
draw the blade of knife across the
suspected butter. If it is oleomarga-
rine the place where the knife was
pressed will look white, and the track
of the blade will be marked with little
beads of water. When the test is
made with the genuine butter the
white look does not appear, but the
butter holds its color"
Another test is to drop piece of the
suspected butter into awell-heated fry
ingpan. If it is oleonargarine it will
sputter, because of the water in it. If
it is real butter it will melt and bubble
or boil, but not sputter. Any house
keeper can tell the difference.

There are some people, yes, many
people, always looking out for Sights.
They cannot carry on the daily inter
course of the family without some
olfense is imagined. If they meet an
acquaintance on the street who hap
pens to be preoocupied with business
they attribute his abstraction to some
mood personal to themselves and take
umbrage accordingly. They lay on
others the fact of their irritability. a
fit of Indigestion makes them see i'm.
pertinence in every one they come III
contact with. Innocent persons, who
never dreamed Of giving offen5c, are
astOnshed to find some unfortunate

taken for an insult. TO say the lea3
the habit is unfortunate. There arc
people in this world who have some.
thing TO do besides talking, joking and
complimenting. There are persons
who get too weary to answer foolish
questions repeated again and again
There are persons who now and then
appreciate the privilege of moments

strue WEAKNESS and care and labor into

we are frank and generous the world
treats us kindly. If, on the contrary
we are suspicious, men learn to be cold
and cautious toward us. Let a person
get the reputation of being touchy and
everybody is under more or less re.
straint, and in this way the chance o!
an imaginary oifense is vastly in

willing TO Obligc Him.

A Chicago murder recalls a very old
story Of the Pacific Slope. a good.na-
tured miner made his first trip to SaE
Francisco, with lot of gold dust for
sale. So long as he had business on
hand he attended to nothing else; but
his dust once sold, he felt at liberty.
He took a bath, got shaved, bought a
suit of store Clothes and a "biled
shirt" registered at Il llrst-class hotel
dressed, and then started out for a
rood time. AS he left the hotel door,
he met, standing there, a stranger
with a pleasant-looking face, who
nodded cheerfully to him. "Why,how
do YOU do?" said the miner, grasping
his hand with squeeze like a evics
"lm desperate glad to see you. Beer

politely expressed his thanks, but de-
aimed, A puzzled look stole over tn;
