Squaring the Circle.

On the I8:h of August C. E. Parke- Rhodes exhibited to . few gentlemen al An erton hotel Fleet street, an inven- ton by which he claims to do what mash- ematicians have vainly attempted for 2 900 years-nameiy, to square the circle. He believes also that his invention will sional and commercial men, as it will enable them immediately, and without calculation, to ascertain the exact square of an area, however irregular in shape. The appliances used are extremely sim- pie, being merely a quantity of shot and a shallow, square trough, with which, and an adjustable fright angie,' squares of various sizes may be made When the square of given circle is required, the latter is cut in some hard material. The circle thus formed is placed on a level slab and carefully filled with small shot, none Of which are allowed to be above the others. Then the shot are placed in the shallow trough and the right angle" adjusted till they exactly i'll the square formed by the fright anglen and the corner oi the trough. This is the square of the circle into which kuC 3oO& Wv1% ukSt utG4SS5Go- "oSo toC square of an irregular area is required the process is somewhat similar. U, fos instance, . surveyor were dealing with a piece of land of many angles and un- equal sides. be would make . small drawing of its outline z to scAle," as the professional phrase goes. He might then cut the figure ont in cardboard. the thicker the better, aud 6ll the hole formed in the card board with shot. The area covered by the latseS would afterwards be neasured hy means of the night angle" and shallow 1oggh. Mr. Parker- Rhodes did rot demoostrate the mashenafical accuracy of this process huz he maintained that such demensers- iion was practicable. and he offered the discovery freely to al vho nay choose to adopt l. Certainly t sssms Eksly to be practically uselnl f aos thsosesically per- fecf.

We Americans have grown quite accustomed to this sort of thing from Patti, and don't take it to heart as we did a year ago.

 Your correspondent, did herself the honor to call on the great Madame Ristori the other day, and felt more than charmed by the manner in which she was received The labors of a newspaper correspondent would indeed be pleasant were all whonf they interview as cour- teous.
 Madame readily aequiesced when I asked permission to put few questions to her, but before I could do so she pro- ceeded to give me something of her history.
 Her face is full and rather dark, with forehead broad ard high. The lower face vide and a little heavy. though never dull. But the feature that gives soul and expression to the whole is her wonderful eyes. Their color pur- zles you. They now seem brown, now gray, changing and darkening as she warns to her sab,ect.

He always wears the garment of a
Quaker. He carefully notes all the
calls of his practice, but never sends

chose to do SO. He always uses salt
instead of soap for washing his face
and head. He never drinks tea, coffee,
nor intoxicats. Black clothes are
his abhorranee, a cravat or necktie he
never wears, and although he keeps
his boots oiled he never has them

he is eighty years old as he did when

The Cure for Intemperance.

But the great and only real cure fol
intemperence is the steady elevation of
the whole community. To keep men
from drinking you must give them
something else to do supply them With
better amusements, with entertain
ments of high order. You cannot eX-
pect hard-working men to live without
amusement. Rich people must have
their amuSements, their theatres, balls,
clubs, drives, yachts. You cannot re-
quire working people to do without
some sort of recreation. A total alb
stinence lecture will not always attract
them, nor will a scientific lecture us
ually be enough. There fore we must
furnish them with every kind of iEnO-
cent recreation p0ssible-pub-
lie garden and common and music aud
fire works in the summer libraries
and reading-rooms, and as much more
rs can be added. | am glad Of all
cheap popular entertainments, summer
gardens and museums. | wish some
rich man would eDdow a geological gar
den in Boston. 1 wish our theatres
might have good and entertaining plays
acted, and then be open more freely to
The poor, for am satisfied that you can
never expel low taste but by furnish
ing some thing little higher. JAMES
