The Worlds Champion.

Mr.. Edward Hanlan, the great oars
man, and until his recent contest with
Beach in Australia, the champion of the
world, may certainly be looked upon as
an authority in everything affecting ath
letic sports. Before leaving Australia
for this country, he wrote letter in
which he stated that he had used St.
Jacobs Oil with the most beneficial re-
suits. He found it a reliable remedy for
muscular pains in the arms and limbs,
and from his personal experience took
great pleasure in recommending it. No
stronger proof Of the truth of what is
claimed for st, Jacobs Oil could be fur
nished than this, and it will undoubt-
cdly carry great weight with all thought
full and intelligent people.

Why a Drunken Man Escapes.

One sometimes sees drunken man
pitched violently from a horse, and
when the bystanders rush to the spot,
expecting to find him dead, they are as
tCnished to discover that he has been
little injured. In his "Scrambles Among
the High Alps, . Leslie stephen tells the
story of guide who, while drunk, fell
over precipice so deep that fall over
1t seemed almost death. and who yet sus-
tanned little injury. The reason of this
immunity is that the nerve centers are so
much paralyzed in the drunken man as
not to be affected by the shock of the fall
which, in sober man, would have acted
upon them so violently as to stop the
heart. arrest the circulation, and cause
instant death. -New York Sun.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

1t has been discovered that heaps of
unripe rice soon undergo a process of
fermentation which is said to give the
grain delicious flavor.
The director of the Buda- Pesth bureau
of statistics, Josef Korosi, has calculated
from carefully prepared mortality tables
that the possession of wealth, and the
! resulting exemption from privation,
lengthens the average life nearly ten
years.
From statistics collected in the abat
toirs of Munich and Augsburg, Strauss
has found that not more than one calf in
100, 900 is consumptive. The danger of
! conveying consumption with vaccine
obtained from these animals, is, there
fore, slight.
A new sugar is now obtained from the
seeds of Taurus persea, a tree growing
in the tropics. This sugar has, on pre-
vious occasions, been noticed 10y chem
lists, but was supposed by them to be
mannite. 1t Is extracted by boiling aico-
hol, from which it crystallzes on cool
ing.
Dr. Konig has figured it out that the
average workman engaged in manua!
labor requires twenty-five ounces Of solid
food daily, to consist of four ounces of
albumen, two ounces of fat and sixteen
ounces of starch. Albumen is found in
meats, eggs, fish, and some vegetables,
while potatoes, rice and the various
grains afford the starchy element Of
Gods.
The simplest and best test for glucose

the low power of microscope. Magni
flying forty times is quite sufficient, and
less will do. Cane sugar under this
power is distinctly and beautifully crvs-
talline, and each crystal looks like rock
candy. They are clear, bright and beau
tiful. Glucose, on the other hand has a
dull, opaque appearance, like a lump of
tallow. Once seen, it will be easily
known ever after.
1t seems that, from scientific point
of view, perfectly clean hands are an i'm
possibility. In the Gazgetta .Neiica Halt-
ana DR.. Forster says that after the most
diligent washings and brushings with
soap and water and rinsng with carboic
acid and other disinfcctants, the hands
remained so impure that upon touching
the fingers to steriliLed gelatine micro
organisms were rapidly developed. The
doctor found, indeed, that on rinsing
the hands with a solution of one to 900
of corrosive sublimate they became
scientifically cleansed" for the time,
but that in wiping them upon towel
not previously disinfected they returned
to their sad condition of uncleanliness.
A German technical journal states that
wooden fabrics treated according to the
following simple method will be found
to be proof against shrinking, and will
also retain their color unchanged. The
fabrics are first soaked for several hour,
in a warm, moderately concentrated so,
luton of soda, to which about half a
tumbler of ammonia water has been
added, more or less, according to the
quantity of material treated After the
addition of some warm water, the fab
RIGS are washed out and then rinsed in
fresh water. The same result may be
attained by adding tumblerful of am
monia water to small tub of water,
soaking the stuffs for half an hour in
this and finally rinsing them in a pure
water.
