memorable, has been published by N.

scribed in la Nature. 1t is to erect in the
grounds Of the exhibition an iron tower
300 meters in hight, that Is twice as high
as the Great Pyramid and more than twice
the hight Of the Strasbure Cathedral 100
meters he considers as the limit Of hight
possible in 4 structure Of which stone IS
the principal material and hence iron is
proposed. The base of the tower is OF
pvr,midal shape, and is TO be 20 meters
high, and the superficial area at this hight
viii be 5000 square meters; above this
there are to be three other stages or stories,
in which viii be rooms which it Is pro-
posed to Use for various purposes, scientific
and other. The towers Of Notre Dame
will be mere pigmies beside this colossal
structure, and viii not reach to It's first
floor. The protector points out that, in
addition to its monumental character, the
structure will he useful for strategical pur-
poses in war time on account of the vast
range Of view, for meteorological and astro-
nomical observations, for at such a hight
the clearness of the air and the absence OF
togs would render observations possible
which cannot be made on the ground
The tower might also he used for the cleo
trio light The whole exhibition and the
surrounding neieh5orhood might thus be
lighted from central point. Many scien
tiic problems may, il Is suggested, be in

A woman. whose son had been ruined by
dissipation, was fined g in Hamilton, Ont,
the other day, with the alternative of ten
days in jail, because she knelt before sa-
loon and asked God to curse the liquor
traffic.
\ temperance demonstration, arranged
by the Independent Order of Rechabites,
was held in Glasgow recently, when repre-
sentatiyes Of various societies, to the num-
her OF about 5000, marched in procession,
and afterwards resolutions bearing on the
liquor question were adopted.
4 Brooklyn jury has rendered decision
that Mary Shelly recover $500 from a
saloon-keeper of that city for liquor sold
TO her husband from 1874 to 1880. The
suit was brought under the Civil Damage
Act, and it was shown that the saloon
keeper, after being repeatedly notified not
to sell liquor to her husband. had persisted
in doing so, until at last his health broke
down, and he was no longer able to pro,
vide for her and the children. The ver-
dict viii strike most people as righteous
one.

Inferior of Africa.

Speaking of the Nile suggests africa, and
recalls the fact that the commercial ma
tons of the world are organizing TO open
up the interior Of the Dark Continent to
trade There Is a population Of nearly
5G.000.000. who have SD far been shut off
from the commerceo Of the rest Of the world.
The inhabitants Of Congo Land are far SUI
perior in every way 20 the negroes OF both
the east and west coast Of Africa. They
are mere industrious, and in higher scale
of standardization. Central Africa now
produces many articles Of prime necessity
10 the rest of the world, and viii IN time
consume vast quantities Of goods IN the way
Of clothing and ornaments, rs well as some
luxuries Most Of the slaves thrust upon
the Southern States nv the slave trade
were from the coast of Guinea, the worst
NEGROES in all Africa. Had the slaves Of
these States been brought from the more
humane and industrious tribes Of Cen
trail Africo. there would have been q
great deal less cruelty than that which
was Of too frequent occurrence on pianta-
tions where hard masters or hard owners
held the fate of the negroes in their hands.
ON numerous plantations where faithful
servants had been selected they were
treated with great humanity. There was
noproperty that the planter was 50 proud Of

with his gold more freely. Many Of the
Guinea negroes raised on the Western

Health of Women.

A well-known physician, whose practice
lies in the direction Of the fashionable up
town avenues and is largely among women,
was talking about health matters gener-
ally with reporter Of the New York Maii
and Express, when the conversation turned
upon the ill-health of women as compared
with that of the sterner sex.
THE principal cause Of woman's III
health" said the doctor, 81 is that they ig-
more the old saying: Mems sana in car
pore sano.' The majority of women who
have passed their twentieth year know
next to nothing about the exertion of mind
and body. To begin with, woman is
nodded of finer clay than man, and is OF
course more susceptible to injury. They
do not observe the rules of hygiene so uni
tormly as men do"
Explain matters a little more in detail
doctor"
Well, women do not eat, drink or dres:
with reason They nibble too much.
Their stomachs are constantly at work Il
is almost impossible for that organ to Sc
crete any chyle-that is, the juice which
acts rs a dissolvent to the contents of the
stomach-so long As that organ is at work
BY this too-frequent eating, rational ap.
petite is spoiled. Only one thing then car
toIlow-an impaired digestion and dyspep
sia. The greatest cause Of the poor health
Of American women, however, is the
lack Of invigorating employment. They
lolI too much Their brain and whole
muscular system becomes sluggish, anc
at last incapable of sustaining any
strain at all The need of Ameri
can women is not doctors and medi
cines, but advice and more out-of-door ex
ercise, more useful employment in The
| house and more interchange of ideas anC
opinions. Women, instead Of being manI
inferior, and the weaker Of the two, is in
tended by nature TO be the greater anC
the stronger"

SCIENCE NOTES.

The operation OF removing tumor from
the brain-which was few days ago per-
formed at London hospital for the first
time in the history of medicine-has been
followed by the patients conyalescence.
Before the Linnean Society, of London,
A. Taylor sought to prove that plants have
dim sort Of intelligence, and are able, at
least. to exert as much voluntary power as
certain lowly-organized animals. One
proof of this is the plants avoidance of
obstacles-placed artificially in their way
by bending aside before touching.
A subterranean observatory is being es-
tablished in very deep coal mine near
Nasasaki, Japan, the object being to de-
termine what connection exists between
earthquake phenomena and those meteor
illogical phenomena belonging to the
earth's surface, such as storms, tides, etc.
The protector is Professor Milne, Of the
University Of Toxic, the indefatigable stu
dent of earthquakes in the land in which
they are most frequent.
While some naturalists have seen rea-
sons for believing that light of some kind
must exist several thousand fathOms below
the surface OF the sea, it is very improba-
bic that sunlight can penetrate TO such
great depths. At depth of $50 feet in
the lake of Geneva, Messrs. Fol and Sara
sin have Just found that the strength of
the light in the day is about equal to that
which We perceive in a clear moonless
night At 400 feet below the surface the
light is still quite strong.
A new ceramic product, according to
Mons. Hignette, is now made from the
abundant waste sands of French glass
factories. The sand is nodded into blocks
by immense hydraulic pressure, and is
then baked in furnaces at Il high tempera-
tme. The product has remarkable solidity
and tenacity; it. is not affected by frost,
rain or sun it resists very high tempera-
lures; it is very light, and ii has fine
white color 1t is predicted that the ma
terial will he used for many architectural

PAPER FROM BAGAssE.-A recent edi-
ton of the New Orleans Picowme was
printed on paper made of bagasse, the
refuse of sugar cane after the juice is
squeezed out. This event has created a
stir in several quarters. The sugar plant
ers of Louisiana, who have burned this
hitherto worthless stuff to get rid Of it,
now see a possibility of making money out
of it, and few enthusiasts reckon that it
will be nearly as profitable as the sugar
crop. Southern capital sees new open
ING for investment in the manufacture OF
bagasse, and paper buyers in the South
look forward to emancipation from North
ern mills and heavy transportation charges
on their purchases.
