He was afterward made imperator or
emperor for life or during good behav-
ior, with large salary. This Office he
held with marked success until the ides
of March, Al b. c., when he was assass-
ina1ed by committee of influential
citizens, who waited on him for that
purpose.
Caesars great GOODNESS in crisis is
here most noticeable, for while sur
rounded by assassins and with his sys-
tenn full of large irregular holes, seeing
Brutus, whom he had been led to be-
l.eve solid, he exclaimed, "Et tn Brute"
and expired. In the excitement natur-
ally incident to an assassination, IN
which Caesar had been chosen to act as
the corpse, his great sang froid in add
dressing Brutus in perfectly correct
Latin shows that he well deserved tho
tribute paid him by an eminent histor-
ian, whose name at this moment has
escaped my memory, in which he stated
that Caesar was no SLOUGH. - Bill Nye.

An obseIvant American physicist has
been making a study of the little instru-
ment invented by Prof. William 5.
CroOkes, of London, to determine the
momentum OF the sunbeam, and dis-
sents from the generally accepted theo-
ry of physicists, that the revolution of
the arms is caused by heat. He has
tested the instrument in a o at sum-
mer temperature. IN a hot evening,
when the thermometer registered $50
Fahrenheit. with q kerosene lamp at the
distance of fifteen feet. No alteration
IN temperature recognizable by the
most delicate thermometer was produced
by the presence OF the lamp; but the in
slant Its light fell upon the radiometer
bulb the arms began to revolve. When
a ecreen was placed between the lamp
and the bulb, the rotation instantly
ceased, though there was no alteration
in temperature; and for this reason he
concludes that the heat theory of the
rotation is erroneous.

The experiments which NJ. Pasteur is
reported thus far to have made are said
to be an unbroken success. Fifty-seven
dogs have been the subjects of investi-
CATION. OF these nineteen were rabid,
and by these thlrty-eight healthy ami
mails were bitten under uniform condi-
tions. OF the thirty-eight, one-halt the
number had been previously ~inoculRted
or '~'vaccinated" with attenuated virus,
The other half had not. The latter.
without a single exception, died with
~unequivocal signs OF rabies, whereas the
nineteen other remain as well as ever.
They will be watched for a year by
veterinary surgeons to see whether the
incubation holds good permanently or
only temporarily. If rabies be not
spontaneous IN its origin, and If the ex
perlments of NJ. Pasteur all turn out
successful, there seems no reason why
canine madness sbould not be extirpa

The question whether there is an un-

the surface again in scientific circles in

man writing to La Mature, whodeclares
that for years he has been In the habit
OF awakening at any hour he wished, by
merely impressing upon his mind before
going to sleep the fact that he must
awaken at that hour. He writes that he
seldom varies i've minutes from the

stated of Napoleon l, that he possessed
this faculty, but its existence has new
er been verified, and the letter TO La

I'm HoRsE's BACK. The back Of a
horse is strong and well supported. l
is the arch OF a bridge. which, from his
structure, a bear weight placed upon
it. whereas an inverted arch would fan
10 pieces, or would Withstand a far less
pressure. 1t has been observed that
~loW-hacked or rather followed backed
horses, working IN harness, kept Their
condition, while those with high backs
lost flesh. Persons of not very inquir-
ing or obseIvant dispositions would
probably attribute this to the fact that
the former were of more hardy constitu-
ton than the latter, but this would be
a false conclusion. 1t is owing entirely
to tie curvature Of the back, for a horse
which can draw a weight was least able
to Eear a weight upon its back, while
the horse unable to bear the strain OF a
draft could beat the other any day in
carrying a weight. The line of the
yeltebre indicates the sort of work Tor
which the horse is fitted. If it is high
the weight must be on the top 10 press
