Publication of Water by Motion.

A discovery has been made by DR..
Pehl, OF st. Petersburg, which promises
to have Il very important bearing on
many industrial processes. The water
of the river Neva is very free from bac-
terra, having only about 800 germs in a
cubic centimeter. The canals of St.
Petersburg, on the contrary, are infested
with bacteria, their number reaching
10000 in cubic centimeter, even dur
ing good weather. The same is true
with regard to the conduits of water for
the supply of the city. While the chemi-
cal composition of the water passing
through these conduits hardly differs
from that of the Neva (by which they
are supplied), the number of bacteria
reaches 10000, against 300 in the water
freely taken from the river; and the
worst water was found in the chief con-
duit, although all details as to its con-
structiOn are the same as in the secon-
Diary conduits. DIR. Pehl explains this
anomaly by the rapidity of the motion
of the water, and he has made direct ex-
periments in order to ascertain that. In
fact, when water was brought into rapid
motion for an hour, by means of the CEN
trifugal machine, the number of develop
ing germs was reduced by so per cent.
Further experiments will show if this
destruction of germs is due to the mo-
ton of the mass of water or to molecular
motion. II this discovery of Dr. Pehl's
be confirmed, it will become possible to
destroy bacteria, and render water
comparatively pure, simply by passing
it through centrifugal machine The
subject is OF special interest to brewers,
who suffer, perhaps, more than any
others, from the attacks of bacteria.-

from them, considered either with refer
ence to the conventional features .estab-
lished by artificial systems, or the natn-
raj features presented by the structure
of their trunk, the form of their leaves,
the character of their flowers, the prop
critics and notifications of their fruits.
Their physiognomy, as a whole, announ-
ces that they belong to the same natural
family as the Citrus, but that they form
another branch or genus OF it which has
its own species, varieties and monsters.
Perhaps among those which have more
relation TO the Citrus, there NAV be
some which unite these two analogous
genera and form transition bv which
nature passes from one genus to the
other; perhaps also this transition is
apparent in some other species deviating
more from them, and approaching more
to the crdterd mGrmel0S, the mUrraud
erOticd, and the Limonid.
We will leave to botanists the examin-
alton of this conjecture, which demands
profound knowledge, experimental OBJ
servation OF those plants which we at
present are acquainted with only from
descriptions, and which no one probably
has as yet studied in all the details of
their vegetable life. We shall confine
ourselves to general view OF the spe-
cies arranged by botanists under the
genus Citrus, and the varieties which
belong to them.

Medical Value of Lemons.

Most people know the benefit OF
lemonade before breakfast, and few know
that it is more than doubled by taking
another at night also. The way to get
the better of the bilious system without
blue pills or quinine is to take the juice
of one two or three lemons, as appetite
Graves, in as much water as makes it
pleasant to drink without sugar, before
going to bed. In the morning, on rising,
at least half an hour before breakfast,
take the Juice OF one lemon in goblet
OF water. This will clear the system of
humor and bile with efficiency, without
any of the weakening effect of calomel
or Congress water. People should not
irritate the stomach by eating lemons
clear, as the powerful acid of the juice,
which is always most corrosive, invaria-
bly, produces inflammation after awhile;
but properly diluted SO that it does not
burn or draw the throat, it does it's med
ical work without harm, and, when the
stomach is clear of food, has abundant
opportunity to work over the system
thoroughly.

Mr.. Asher spent several DAYS wander
ing around these points, and he says that.
| he never before thought there was such
place IN Florida. He discovered sew
eral rocks that he presumed would have
acted very well for houses, being quite
as large, hollow, and their walls as
smooth as glass. He appears to think
it very strange that these monster rocks
should be found in such low, flat.
marshy. section. He says that these
rocks are separated by distance OF
about two hundred feet, and rear their
black, grimy heads to heaven from a
level plain OF marshy soil. There are
no indications OF there having been a
hill, much less volcano, in this section,
and the smoke or cloud seen so often is
simply the vapor rising from these sui
phuric pools.
Mr.. Asher describes the section as
abounding in game of all kinds. from
squirrel and birds to bear, deer and Wild
cats. While speaking of the game in
this section, Mr. Asher stated that there
was house on the Aucilla river, occu-
pied by a gentleman's family, surround
ing which were twenty large oaks.
Huge limbs had been torn loose by the
bears searching for acorns. Mr.. Asher
stated that six men could not break some
OF the limbs that these bears broke.
What wonderful place Florida is
anyway This discovery of Mr.. Asher
is only among other places in the State
where, perhaps, the foot OF man has
never been placed, Hidden down in the
bowels OF her territory there may yet
be found places where the gods OF old
sported; many a fairy grotto wherein
Queen Nab could have sported her
snowy drapery with pleasures known
only in fairy lore.
Florida may be classed as the oldest
State in the Union, but she is yet new.
Every day gives fresh indications OF her
countless store of her resources.

clops, Where thunderbolts were manu-
factured of hewn stone, and where Her

OF collision, will probably in any event,
tend to restrain them from the commits
| sion of hostile acts.
/ A considerable per cent. of the men
have sufficient mastery of English for
all purposes of trade, while a few of
their number speak fair English.
From the above will be seen that these
Indians are at the threshold of the sim
pier forms OF civilization. As white men
have not pressed upon them in their
swampy fortressess, they have COME in
to contact with civilization very gradu-
ally, and only to the extent prompted by
their own desires and necessities.
The Florida Seminoles have never re-
ceived any aid from the government.
They have always scornfully rejected the
idea that any aid was necessary to them,
and have professed their ability to sup
port and care for themselves, asking
nothing OF the government or of their
white neighbors, but to be left alone.
Self-suppOrting now, these Indians
need only to be made secure in the pos
session of a reasonable amount of land
to hold their own and even to advance in
the arts and practices of civilized life.
The establishment of schools among
the Seminoles would be attended with
some difficulty, by reason of their re-
motness from civilization and the nature
of the country they inhabit but if man
aged wisely and carefully, so as to Sc
cure the attendance of all the children,
it could doubtless be rendered an eff
tficient agent in their progress toward
civilization.

The Florida Volcano.

Last Friday Capt. Geo. Asher arrived
in the city direct from the scene of Flori-
da's supposed volcano. For years this
smoke has been seen by thousands OF
people, and various efforts have been
made to reach it, notably among the
number being Judge P. w. White, OF
Tallahassee.
Speculation has been rife. as to the
cain, claaoess az Soleano, whiie Others con- sa1
tended that it originated from the fires
of some Seminole Indians thought to be
in this section, and so on dd 6bitum.
The last party that went out to explore
this region had to turn back because of
the tall grass, boggy lands, and dense
underground prevented further progress.
Capt. Asher was in search of palmetto
logs on the Aucilla river, when he de-
scried the smoke, or cloud, from point
in the distance. Remembering the many
reports he had read about this smoke he
determined to unearth this mystery, if
and picking up their traps, the party
Aucilla river. They travelled up this
river, or creek, for it hardly deserves the
name of river, for miles. After ascend
ing from it's mouth for about twenty-five
or thirty miles, he judges, he was bro't
to an abrupt halt by rocky barrier in
front. Upon investigation he found that
here the river ended and was lost under
meath the ground.
Seeing that the smoke became more
distinct at this point, and seemed
straight ahead, he had the boat hauled
up to the bank and he sprang ashore, de-
termined, if possible, to pursue his in
vestigation on foot.
AS he sprang on shore he gave an ex-
clamation of surprise. Scattered at va
rious points were huge rocks, towering
many feet above his head-a thing un-
heard of in Florida Mr.. Asher describes
some of these rocks as being as large as
an ordinary dwelling, and apparently
hollow, containing much water. He de-
scribes them as being of finty appear
ance, and when struck with an iron or
steel instrument to emit thousands of
sparks. A mile or two further on were
seen numerous rocks that were formed
into round basins, their sides being
smooth and beautifully polished. Mr..
Asher sprang upon the top of one of
these basins. AS his foot came in con-
tact with the fiinty substance hollow
sound was emitted from the rock. Call
ing for pole, and it being handed him,
! he placed it in the center Of the basin.
What was his surprise on drawing the
pole to the top may be easily imagined
when he discovered that the rock, being
hollow, was filled with sulphur water
Pushing their'way through the bog,
sometimes up to their knees, again on
hard ground for some distance, then
scratched and bruised by the underbrush
and fighting mosquitoes that seemed to
resent this intrusion on their dominion,
the little party had a hard time OF it.
Presently they came to where the river
issued from its underground covert, and
pursued it's way onward, to again disap-
pear in the bowels of the earth.
Mr.. Asher states that every few hun
dred yards these pools would make
their appearance, and from them would
issue white, misty clouds that would
ascend heavenward, seeming, i'll the
distance, to be volumes of smoke.
