as small as ever he can in fact, in look
ing for him, all you ever can see are his

possess exactly the same instinct as the

eoncealing themselves. Young kanga-
roos soon adapt themselves to circum-
stances, and make themselves comforta-

Ground air, says Mr.. G.. H. Robe, is
simply the atmospheric air which had
penetrated into the interstices of the soil
and taken part in the various decomposi-
tons going IN there, In consequence of
these chemical actions the relative pro-
portions Of the oxygen and carbonic acid
in The air are changed, oxygen disap-
pearing and giving place to carbonic
acid. The researches of Fador have
demonstrated that the proportion of car
bonic acid in the ground air may be
taken as al approximate measure of the
soil whence the air is taken.

Says Mr.. Edward CIodd on the growth
of primitive beliefs: There is no rite
or ceremony yet practiced and revered
among us which is not the lineal de-
scendant of barbaric thought and usage,
expressing a need which, We're men less
the slaves of creation and Incidence,
would long since hive found loftier from
than in genufexion before shrine and
rcliquary. By al exercise of magma
ton, not possible but for these being a
felicitous, gesture language of the
cries of human souls, a mass of heathen
and pagan rites have been transformed
into those of the Christian faith. That
they have come to be mistaken for the
ideas symbolized that with the loftiest
spiritual teaching there should remain
commingled belief in miraculous power
(mostly spurious) of dead men and their
that notion of q vital connection between
the lifeless and the living" Mr.. Clodd
oyerlooks the fact that a precisely SINH
lar iconoclastic process can logically be
directed against the '~'loftier form what
ever it might be. There is a mighty diff
ference between a sign and what is signi-
fled by it between n mere cultus how
ever refined and what lies behind that

Previous to the year 1851 coal was the
only mineral raised in New South Wales.
Even 20 years later the only minerals
which had been worked was coal,
gold, copper, and antimony; but since
1871 tin, silver, iron, lead, asbestos, and
bismuth have been added to the list.
Grapes do not grow well in New-Zea-
land in the open air except in a few shell
tered situations. The climate is too
humid and equable. The Winters are
too warm to ripen the wood, and the
Summers are not hot enough to mature
the fruit. The consequence is that the
mos. of the grapes to be had in the mar
ket there must be either imported or
grown under glass,
Regarding the alleged gold discoveries
in Assam the Superintendent of the Geo
Logged Survey of India writes There
is no doubt that the Lakhimpur or Sa-
balisirl region is, and has long been,
gold producing, but, from all [ can
gather, very little more SO than other
wasting grounds in the peninsula. 1t is,
however, a question whether increased
working would show an increased out
turn of gold which would last for any
time, and the determination of this prob
lem may, 1 think, be advisedly left to
private enterprise"
The railway up the Drachenfels has
been completed at a cost Of $50. 000. Its
length is 1,522 metres, the upper end 222
metres above the starting point, and the
mean gradient in 1863. Rack railways,
according to the Engineer, are not now
uncommon, though the first was con-
s;ructed but a few years ago up the
Rghi by NJ. Riggenbach. They COM
prise those worked wholly by engines
gearing in the rack, and those worked
either by locomotives which nave rack as
well as common gear, or by two kinds of
locomotives.

it is stated that a human molar tooth of

DIR. c. C. Abbot at a place where paleo-
lithic implements have been brought to
light from time to time. As the tooth is
rolled and we'll worn it is supposed to be
of the same age as the ancient tools.
Some little skepticism was entertained
regarding the real source of a portion of
a human skull, alleged by the person
from whom the relic was obtained for
the museum to have been taken from the
gravel bed near Trenton, but any doubt
as to its origin seems to have been dis
PEELED by the finding of the tooth.

A TERRIBLE CRIME REcALLED.-The
mystery of the horrible death of Clarissa
Bounds in Atlantic City last summer is re.
vived by the reported suicide of Glenn Man
merry, one of the men suspected of having
set the girls clothing on fire in the wild
pineries, a score of miles northeast of that
place. A collier from Doughty's Colliery,
near which the tragedy took place last
June, reported recently at Atlantic City that
Maunery had drowned himself, and that
prior TO his death he had expressed remorse
for his share in the girls peculiarly awful
death, At the inquest John Thomas testi-
fed, denying his guilt, but Glen and Sol
Mannery had both gotten beyond the reach
of process Since the girls death they have
avoided their former haunts and friends,
and Glenn in particular has been morose
and more debauched in his wild life than
ever before The girls dying confession to
the Mayor of Atlantic City showed that she
had wandered to Doughty's coal pit, where
these men were at work. All four bad be-

In the night she had been awakened BY her

SARGENT TRANsFERRED.-The President
yesterday sent to the Senate the nomina-
ton Of Aaron A. Sargent minister to Ger
many, To be minister to Russia, vice VIM.
Hunt, deceased.
The nomination was a surprise to most
persons When it YVES laid before the Sen
ate in executive session few questions
were asked and briefly answered to the eff
feet hat the transfer though not requested
by Mr.. Sargent, would doubtless be agreea-
BILE TO him and that it would also undoubtedly
be productive Of good results Is matter of
national policy, aud the Senate thereupon
confirmed the nomination. There is good
reason for believing that the action was
based, not ouly upon the belief that Mr..
Sargenls transfer would be agreeable to
him, and avert the possibility of further un-
pIeasantness arising from personal hostility,
but also upon an impression that the posi-
ton of American minister at the court OF
Berlin will significantly and for an indefinite
time be left vacant.
Secretary Frelinghuysen sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Minister Sargent yester-
day:
proves entirely OF your i'll the LasSer matter
You have done nothing but obey the instructions Of
this government therein. The President, thinking It
may DE agreeable to you, to-day nominated you rs
minister ST. Petersburg. and your nomination, with

action maiiests an appreciation OF your worth ana
does you an honor of which any citizen may we'll be
proud. FRELI;GHCYsES.
