Shooting Stars Feed the Sun.

The aggregate weight of these
small scattered streams must be
beyond comprehension, and is prob
ably to be estimated by billions of
tons. These small masses are con-
stantly towards the earth, some
reaching its actual surface. So 1t
must be with the moon, and with the
other planets and satellites which
compose the solar system; and this
continual impact of meteors, howey-
er inappreciable its influence on
earth, cannot be without its heat
producing effects on the larger bod
les of our system. If this be SO, how
much greater must be the result
produced by the enormous number
of these bodies which, from variety
of causes, would be necessarily pre-
cipitated upon the suns surface; and
the suggestion has been put forward
that we may lind in this sufficient
explanation of the apparently mex
haustible emission of light and heat
which the sun is ever radiating into
infinite space.

Interior Heat of the Earth.

The German government is having
a deep shaft sunk near Schladebach,
with the object of obtaining various
kinds of scientific information, and
especially trustworthy data concern
ing the rate of increase of the earth's
tenn perature as we descend into the
interior. The excavation is being
carried on by diamond tipped Dor.
der driven by water. So far back as
the beginning of this year the shaft
had reached the depth of 1882 me.
tres, which is believed to be the low
est depth yet reached by boring.
The temperature at successive stag
es is ascertained by an ingenious
instrumsn which serves as a special
thermometer, the principle Of con-
struction being the fact that as the
heat increases the mercury will
expand so as to flow over the lip of
a sufficiently short open tube in
greater and greater quantities. The
m Measurement of the differences of
those overfows will give the rate of
increase of the temperature. 1t has
been ascertained that the tempera-
ture at the depth of 1882 metres was
40 deg. centigrade, or 12O degrees
Fahrenheit. If the tenn perature in
creases regularly at this rate, the
boiling point of water ought to be
reached at depth of 5000 metres,
and at rs kilometres we should find
the heat at which platinum melts.-
This would 60 to show that the
earth's crust cannot be more tnan
about one-ninetieth of its radius.

The Digestibility Of Oysters.


The general practice of eating the
oyster raw is evidence that the pop
ular judgment upon matters of diet
is usually trustw orthy. The fawn.
colored mass, which Is the delicious
portion Of the fish, Is its liver, and
is simply a mass Of glycogen. Asso-
ciated with the glycogen, but with
held from actual contract with it
during life, is its appropriate diges.
tive ferment--th hepatic diastase.
The mere crushing of the oyster
between the teeth brings these two
bodies together, and the glycogen is
at once digested without any other
help than the diastase. The raw, or
merely warmed, oyster is self-diges.
tive. But the advantage of this pro-
vision is wholly lost by cooking;
for the heat Immediately destroys
the associated ferment, and the
cooked oyster has to be digested,
like any other food, by the eaters
own digestive powers. my dear
Sir, do you want to ruin your d.
gestion?" asked Professor Haugh-
ton of Trinity College one day of
friend who had ordered brandy and
water with his oysters in Dublin
restaurant. Then he sent for a glass
of brandy and glass of porter, and
put an oyster in each. In a very
short time there lay in the bottom
of the glass of brandy a tough
Ieathery substance resembling the
finger of a kid glove, while in the
porter there was hardly trace of
the oyster to be found.

To Thoroughly Clean Silk.

To thoroughly clean silk, lay the
breadth on clean deal table, and,
following the grain of the silk, wash
it with thin lather of soft soap and
soft water. Rinse frequently in clear
hard water, and roll in cloth to dry.
Next day sponge with sour porter or
stout. and. iron while wet, putting a
thin cloth between the silk and the
iron. The silk will be glossy and
stiff, but the stiffness will wear off in
making up. Strong coffee strained
is also very good, used after washing
as above. Ammonia is apt to turn
the silk brown in little time. Ok
gall is recommended, but the porter
can be safely and strongly recon-
mended.

Praise our God. whose open hand
File with plenty all that lives;
Praise our God! to every land
Harvest store his bounty gives;
Praise him under skies Of grey;
Praise him In our cares and fears;
Praise him, though he long delay
Bringing back the happy years.
Praise the Lord Of all the earth!-
Yet In grave and solemn wise,
Not with loud and thoughtless mirth.
Bid the songs Of Harvest rise:
Think upon our brethren dear.
Sorrowing DER thier hopes forlorn;
Pray that Gods true love may cheer
Eyes that fail and hearts that mourn.
Praise him. though our anthems rise
Over chill and sodden fields:
Still his care our need supplies;
Still our poor from death he shields:
Winds Of God across the deep
Watt the Harvest laden sails;
Signs of love that kr ows no sleep,
Pledge OF truth that never fails.
Praise our God, Till faith grow strong;
Praise, with steadfast heart and will;
Sing anew the harvest song;
Tell ofall his goodness still;
Far and wide. from land to land,
Be the great Thanksgiving spread
Glory to the Lord, whose hand
Gives this day our dsily bread.-Amen.

furious their suspicious will be
allayed. In a week or ten days
they will accept it and every rat on
the place will be at the appointed
place for the treat. Give plenty of
it, so as to induce all the rats in the
neighborhood to join in. Do not
be in a hurry to poison then. II
they eat all the food, give them a
larger quantity next time. AS
soon as they have thrown of all

some PHOSPHORUS paste or other rat
poison, mix it with the food and be-
sure you give them enough and
something to spare, SO as to induce
all to eat. They will either be
killed or become so suspicious of
all other food as to leave, and not a
rat will remain Hence to destroy
rats, take plenty Of time, gain their

SCIENCE.
Of Interest to Doctors !.

DR.. Robert Taylor, formerly associ-
ated with DIR. L. A. Sagre, of this
city, reports the cure of case of
traumatic tetanus, or lock-jaw, re-
sultant from wound, which is, it
is said, the only instance in which a
fatal conclusion to such an attack
has been averted.
On May first Miss Effie Masterten,
daughter of Mr.. Robert NJ. Master
ton, a retired New York merchant,
residing at Brcntyille, had the bones
of the toe and instep of the right
foot crushed. DIR. Taylor dressed
the wound, removing number of
pieces of bone, and trimmed off the
little toe, which could not b. saved.
Recognizing the extreme probabil.
ity of lock-jaw, he put the patient
under the influence of morphine. He
began by giving her sixty drops Of
Majendie's solution of the sulphate
of morphia Zone quarter of grain
to the drachm) at each dose, three
doses day, This he increased grad
ually until it was doubled. and dur
ing the worst period of suffering
that amount even was exceeded
enough to keep her in stupefied
condition all the time. Twice day
her wound was dressed with balsam
of Peru and oakum, and the bandage
pressure was carefully regulated and
constantly watched to prevent the
matter burrowing.
1t healed admirably, showing a
healthy tendency from the first. But
eight days after the injury the first
symptoms of look-jaw appeared-se-
vele and increasing pains in the sides
of the face, followed by violent
twitching in the muscles of the face
and limbs. The pain in the sides of
the face became SO great that it
could hardly be allayed, even by the
enormous doses Of morphine given.
In four days after the first symptoms
developed the tetanus was fully es-
tablished. The girls jaws were
tightly locked together, the muscles
of the right leg, arm, and side
twitched convulsively, and the body
was bent like a bow, resting upon
the head and heels.
These violent symptoms lasted
nine days. During that time, in adj
dition to the morphine, large guam
titles of rye whiskey, brandy, cham
payne, sherry, egg-nog, milk punch,
and other stimulants were given to
her. The loss of a tooth permitted
their introduction into the mouth
through rubber tube. At length
the first indication Of recovery APP
peared in the cessation of the witch
ing of the muscles, and then the
opening of the mouth far enough to
permit the passing of knife blade
between the teeth. From that point
the progress of recovery"was rapid,
until now the foot is we'll and the
lock- nv has disappeared.

Thaddeus Stevens and His Club Foot.
Talking recently with a relative Of
Thaddeus Stevens, learned of an act in
his youth which resembled the stoical
heriosm that was taught to the youths of
ancient Greece. He was born with a
club foot, which was not only malformed
but was twisted on one side. His brother,
who afterward sat on the bench In Yer
mont, was similarly disfgured in boz his
feet. Thaddeus was lame and sickly up
10 his sixteenth or seventeenth year. His
twisted foot was always o great eyesore
@ him, and one day while the family was
living In Peacham, Caledonia county,
where he was born, his mother heard him
groaning and talking to himself just out
side the door of the house. Going out she
found that he had taken his clubfoot in
his lap, and with his penknife had deliber-
ately severed the tendons and was forcing
the foot straight, where he bound it with
,plints on the side, tying them on with
his handkerchief which he had torn into
shreds, saying meanwhile to himself: 'T'n
fix you straight if have to cut you clean
off," When his foot healed the limb had
been somewhat Strengthened, but the club
foot remained as a deformity up to his
death.-N. Y. Tribune.

A Generous Dog,

The hero Of the following true
anecdote is a broken-haired terrier
of the most common type, with
nothing in his appearance to recon-
mend him except pair of honest
brown eyes, which look from under
his shaggy eyebrows with a most
pathetic expression. In color he is
black, with light tan paws and chest,
while sprinkling Of white on his
head and face gives him venerable
look to which he has in reality no
claim. as he is now only eight years
old. But "Rough' has never been
young; from bis infancy his gravity
of department has been such as
would become dog of age and ex.
perience.
One day, some years ago, he was
seen coming up the avenue, follow ed
at short distance by poor starved
looking dog, who kept gazing about
with timid air, as if uncertain
whether to advance or not. Rough,
who was evidently encouraging him
by every means in his power, at last
succeeded in getting him as far as
the kitchen door, where basin of
water was standing for the use of
the dogs. To this basin Rough ad-
vanced, as if to draw the attention
of the stranger to the fact that there
was water in it. The thin was
enough for the poor tired beast, who
at once began eagerly to drink,
Rough standing by, wagging his tail
gently, the deepest satisfaction ex-
pressed in every hair of his why
coat.
When the stranger had quenched
his thirst by drinking every drop of
water in the basin, his courage
seemed to revive, and he looked
ready to follow Rough, who now
marched into the kitchen, walked
straight up to the cook and wagged
his tail, looking alternately in her
face and at the starving dog, who
had followed him so closely. There
was no mistaking the expression of
Rough's eyes, and the cook collected
some scraps of cold meat on plate,
and placed them before the strange
dog, which began at once to devour
them hastily. While he was eating,
Rough stood by, still wagging his
tail and evidently much pleased.
When every morsel had disap-
peared, he once more invited the
stranger &c follow, and this time it
was the drawing-room that he led
the way. On being admitted there,
he introduced the outcast to the lady
of the house, and after looking
round on all present with much ap.
parent satisfaction, and once more
wagging his tail, Rough left the
room. He seemed to think the
strangers fortune was made. /
may add, that Rough's confidence
was not misplaced, for good home
was found for the wanderer.-G. W.
