abusive name for, which he slapped
Feeney on the cheek, for which hs wal

GORGEOUS FURNITURE.
Alma Tadema's Design for a Notable
Suite of Artistic Furniture.

Alma Tadema's Design for Notable
Suite of Arti tic Furniu ure.
There has recently been on exhibi
ton in New Bond street. London, 3
notable suite of furniture. When we
say that the furniture, with its en-
bro;dered coverings, was designed by
Mr.. Alma Tadema, and that it is of the
classic type we know so we'll through
his pictures of the ancient world, our
readers will no doubt expect to hear of
something out of the ordinary run.
The framework of the furniture is of
rich black ebony, inlaid with ivory,
mother-of-pearl, box and sandal wood,
with panels, also of sandal-wood, or
namented with raised scroll-work in
ebony and ivory. The panels are of
veneer about one-eighth of an inch
thick. and the raised ornament is let
right through to the back, difficult
and costly method, but one which in
sures its durability. There are settees,
large chairs with high rounded backs
richly ornamented. stools, small round
tables with carved ebony satyr legs and
magnificent slabs of Algerian onyx,
and beautiful music cabinet about
eight feet by five feet, with open front
sclosing shelves inclosed with
richly embroidered curtains, and
surmounted by the reproduction of the
portico of Greek temple, the columns
of sandal wood. with capitals of solid
ivory. the whole most beautifully in
laid. We can not speak too highly of
the careful. thorough manner in which
the whole work has been carried out.
the inlay is wonderfully executed, and,
as many of the surfaces are curved,
the difficulties to contend with must
have been very great; for finish and
execution it is necessary 20 go back to
the last century to find a parallel. The
embroideries, too. are very beautiful.
This suite is intended for a music salon
now being constructed in a New York
mansion. The walls of the room are
to be mainly of marble. and will boast
a marble frieze which has not yet left
the studio in Rome, where it is being
executed; and the ceiling will be deco
rated with paintings by Sir F. Leigh
ton. There is also to be piano for
the same room, which is to be richly
inlaid, and will be, so far as we can
Judge, most successful though costly
attempt at difficult problem Mr..
Alma Tameda will paint a subject on
the out side of the lid. and the under
side will have panels of parchment for
the autographs of the musical celebri-
ties who will perform in the room -

Meteroic Dust on lcebergs.

One of the most interesting facts
contributed by Prof. Nordenskjold to
popular science is contained in his ac-
count of his examination-when about
eighty degrees north latitude, before
reaching Parry's Island, to the north
west of Spitzbergen - of the snow
which covered the icebergs and which
had come from still higher latitudes.
He found it strewn with multitude
of minute black particles, spread over
the surface or situated at the bottom
of little pits, a great number of
which were to be seen on the out
ward layer of snow; many such par
ticles were also lodged in the interior
strata. This dust which became gray
on drying, the Professor found to con-
tain a large proportion of metallic
particles attracted by the magnet and
capable of decomposing sulphate of
copper. An observation made little
later upon other icebergs proved the
presence of similar dust in layer of
granular crystalline snow situated be-
meath stratum of L ght fresh snow
and another of hardened snow. Upon
ANALYSIS the Professor found this mat
ter to be composed in varying propor-
tons of metallic iron, phosphorus, CO.
bait and fragments of diatomace9.-

SEEN IN GLASS TANKS.
Microscopic Researches at a Little Massa-
chusetts Town.


A ride of three miles from Gloucester
on the stage coach, through one of the
most rocky regions of Massachusetts,,
brings the visitor to the little village of
Annisquam, which is picturesquely
nestled at the base of some granite
hills looking down upon an arm of
water extending in from Ipswich Bay.
AS one approaches the village across a
wooden bridge one sees in prominent
position very tall windmill. This is
the means by which water is kept con-
stantly flowing through the aquaria
and the animals kept alive for the stu
dents to study. Just beside this wind
mill is the old, yellow-painted, wealth
er-beaten. barn-like building, which
looks more like fish house than any
thing else 1t is in here that wise stu
dents and still wiser teachers and pro-
fessors come to study into the habits
and structure of marine life. Here
vast numbers of crabs, shrimp. sea
anemones, starfishes and fish in general
are annually consigned to alcohol and
carried far away into the country to
create wonder in the minds of the
country students who have never seen
the sea shore.
Entering the building, we find our,
selves in dreary-looking room, with
tables of unpainted pine placed before
each window, and with shelves filled
with bottles of alcoholic specimens of
our most common animals. The chief
interest to the visitor is centered in the
aquaria which are filled with life. A
beautiful flower garden of sea-ane-
mones lines the bottom of the tank,
each individual differing from its neigh
Dor in shape and color. Hermit crabs
frisk about with their clumsy shells
dragging along behind them. remind
ing one of pair of horses and a stage
coach. They are playful little crea-
lures, and enjoy nothing better than a
good, square fight with each other.
They are animals which one can watch
with unflagging interest for hours and
all the time discover new traits. The
sportive squid darts about, forward
and backward. with equal facility,
eiectingi its inky fluid whenever sur
prsed, and the starfsh crawls slowly
up the S des of the aquarium toward
an unsuspecting shell, bent upon de-
struction in its mysterious way. A
visitor can find interest for hours in
these glass tanks.-BoStOr1 Traveller.

Improved Gas Generators.

A great Improvement in gas genera
tors is said to have been made in
France, rendering it practicable to con-
struct such apparatus with comparative
ease from materials which are usually
to be found in every laboratory. The
device is said to leave little to be de-
sired in its line, being equally adapted
to the production of sulphuretted hy-
drogen or any other gas, is always
ready for use, and can at once be taken
apart for cleaning or to add fresh ma
terials. With small generator. about
two feet high, some forty quarts of
hydrogen have been manufactured in
twenty minutes. Another valuable fea-
ture is it's comparative cheapness.
nearly all the materials being ready at
hand, and the requisite tubulated jar
being of small cost-M Y, Sun.
