A Building With a History.

Among all the buildings in New
York City to-day there is not another
that has so ancient and eventful q his
tory as the hall of records, or register
office, in the City Hail Park. 1t was
erected about the middle of the last
century, when Broadway was coun-
try road, when the only theater stood
on the site Of the present World estab-
hshment, when Center Street was a
lake, William Street swamp, Canal
Street river, and the Bowery a lone
~ lane, running up through huckleber-
ry bushes.
During the Revolutionary war this
building was the chief British prison
for distinguished patriots. Here Capt.
Nathan Hale, the intrepid Yankee,
was confined after his capture with a
plan OF the British defenses of Long
Island In his shoes, and in the public
common adjoining, exactly where the
City Hall now stands, he was hanged
as a spy. Here that tough old rebel,
Ethan Allen, of Ticonderoga fame, was
imprisoned after his capture while try
ing to take Montreal with thirty men;
and his treatment and that of others
caused the building, which now stands
near the City Hall station Of the ele-
waited road, to be regarded by the pa
triots with about the same adherence
as attached to Andersonville after the
late war.
When the British evacuated New
York, in November, 1888, the jailer.
Cunningham, having won the same in
famous reputation as the Confederate
Jailer Wirz, was asked by his patriot
prisoners, "What is to become of us %
"You can go to the devil" shouted
Cunningham, as he flung the keys into
the middle of the floor and made off.
1t was forty or fifty years after that
before the bastile of the Revolution
was remodeled and the bell transferred
to the bridewell. 1t now rings prison
ers to rations and prayers over on
Blackwell's Island.

A Cure of Pneumonia.

Mr.. D. II. Barnaby, OF Owego, N. Y,
says that his daughter was taken with a
violent cold which terminated with Pneu-
monia, and al the best physicians gave the
case up and said she could live but few
hours at most. She was in this condition
when a friend recommended DIR. WIN.
HALLS BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS,
and advised her to try it. She acceptedit
as last resort and was surprised to find
that it produced a marked change for the
better, and by persevering in it's use cure
WAS effected

beware of Crimson Feathers.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser. !
Persons who were abroad on Sew
enth Avenue during the shower last
night were startled to see q lady on
the street with several crimson
streams pouring down her face, APP
parently indicating serious case OF
assault and battery. She was mop
ping the sanguinary fluid off her Wis
age with handkerchief, and looking
as though she would like to sink
through the sidewalk, and when it was
perceived that the new crimson feath-
er in her spring bonnet was the source
of her misery, this didn't seem very
surprising. But the observers need
not have laughed so loudly.

Eggs by Weight.

From the American Rural Home.l
It is annoying to the breeder of
blooded and fine fowls to find, when
he offers for sale eggs nearly twice as
large as his neighbors', that they
bring no more per dozen than do the
smaller ones. Also, the consumer is
often vexed to find that he must pay
the same price to-day for a dozen eggs
weighing a pound that he yesterday
paid for dozen weighinga pound and
g. half. Besides, an egg from q well-fed
fowl is heavier and richer than one
from a common fowl that is only half
fed, so that weight compared to size
is an Indication of richness. Thus,
eggs of which eight will weigh a pound
are better and richer than those Of ap-
parently the same size Of which ten
are required for a pound. o. course,
with eggs at four and five cents doz-
en- land hundreds of dozens have been
sold In past years at these fgures) it
Is not much matter as to the size; but
when the price ranges from twenty
five to fifty cents a dozen, it is a mat
ter worth looking after. 1t is high
time that this old style of selling and
buying eggs were discontinued. It is
arctic ofthe past, and reminds us of the
time when dressed hogs sold for dol
Ter each without regard to size,- and
were dull sale at that. Insist upon it,
then, you who raise poultry and eggs
for market, that the price for eggs
shall be so much per pound, and then
it will be some inducement to farmers
to raise better class of fowls, and
all will get what is their just due.

FOE TIE SCIENTIST.

BIRDS, according to M. Desplates,
evolve three times as much heat as
mammals, absorbing thrice as much
oxygen and emitting thrice as much
carbonic acid.
IT is singular how closely the habits
of the reindeer and the buffalo ap-
proximate to each other. Each have
their treeless prairie, but seek the
woods in winter; each have their
woodland species; each separate when
the time comes to bring forth their
young; each mass together in their
annual migrations.
A STRIKING illustration of the value
Of the camera to astronomy Is FUR
nished by therecent discovery OF q new
nebula near the star Mala IN the
Pleiades. Until photographed at the
Paris Observatory this nebula had
never been seen with the best glasses,
although it has since been detected
with the great telescope OF the Pulkova
Observatory.
PROF. LESLIE predicts that the
amazing exhibition of natural oil and
gas which has characterized the past
twenty years, and will probably con-
tinue for ten or twenty years more, Is,
nevertheless, not only geologically but
historically a temporary and vanish
ing phenomenon-one which young
men will live to see come to it's natural
end. This opinion, he says, is the re-
suit of both an active and thoughtful
acquaintance with the subject.
METEoRoLoG1sTs have found that
there can be no thunder and lightning
without rain. When thunder is heard
beneath clear sky, the report must
either come from distant clouds Or be
the result Of some other cause than a
discharge of electricity. Harvest or
heat lightning is produced by adistant
storm. Thunder seldom accompanies
heat lightning, the sound reaching only
about twelve miles, while lightning is
often seen, by reflection upon nearer
clouds, at much greater distance.
PROF. BELL is confident that tele-
phonic communication may be estao-
lished between passing vessels at sea.
He believes q wire a. mile in length,
trailed behind O. ship, will go charge the
water with electricity that q vessel
coming within half a mile Of another
thus equipped may communicate with
it. "The principle" he says, sis not
new; it is old, with new use waiting
for commerce to utilize it. | have
experimental in the Potomac, and
marveled at the simplicity of the ap
paratus and the stupendous impor
tance Of the results"
THE results of experiments made
thus far in the publication o.
water by aeration have attracted
much notice. This method is vel
known to be based on the discovery
that the action of air in purifying
water is greatly increased by mixing
the air and water under pressure. a
Paramount, Philadelphia, turbine en-
CINE was converted into an air-pump
which delivered 20 per cent, by
volume, of free air into the water
main, this being the proportion found
necessary to surcharge the water
Analysis showed that the quantity o.
free oxygen in the aerated water was
16 per cent. greater than be
fore aeration, while the quantity O
carbonic acid was So per cent
greater, and that OF the total dis
I solved gases was l6 per cent. greater
