PRoyEssoR 4. G.. WoRMIEY, in his

Poisons, says: "The microscope may
enable us to determine with great cer-
tainty that blood is not that of Ger.
tain animal, and may be the blood OF
man; but in no instance does it, in it
self, enable us to say that the blood is
really human, or indicate from what
particular species of animal it was de-
rived" His measurements show that
there is bat little difference in size be-
tween the blood corpuscles OF man and

 The other day the music teacher heard notes sounding from the piano, and go- ing into the music room preccived this curious inhabitant of the henhouse walking up and down the ivory key board, tumbling out thirds, ffths and eighths to her henship's great de light.
 As the tinkling melody leaped forth the hen curved and arched her neck from side to side in apparent delight, and c.ucked in musical way.

The Proper Weight of Man.

Prof. Huxley asserts that the proper weight of man is 154 pounds, made up as follows: Muscles and their aE- purtenances, 6s pounds; skeleton, 24 pounds; skin, 10 12 pounds; fat, 2s pounds; brain, 8 pounds; throacic viscera, 31-2 pounds; abdominal viscera, ii pounds; blood which would drain from the bo7y, 2 pounds. The heart of such man should beat 75 times a minute, and he should breath 15 times a minute. In 24 hours he would vitiate 175O cubic feet of pure air to the extent of per cent. A man, therefore. l. of weight mentioned should have 800 cubic feet of we'll ventilated space. He would throw off by the skin IS ounces of water, 300 grains of solid matter, and 400 grains of carbonic acid every 24 hours; and his total loss during that perlod would be six pounds of water and little more than two pounds of other matter

In the city of Pesth, Hungary, practi. cal scientists are engaged on an experi- ment which should be regarded with the utmost interest in this country. It is to supply the city with warm water derived from subterranean sources. An artesian we'll, the deepest in tho world, has been bored to depth of about one thousand yards. The work was undertaken by two Hungarians, the city of Pesth con- tributing $2oo, 900 toward expenses. AL ready there is supply of 175, 900 gal Ions day at a temperature of 161 de- grees, rising to height of thirty-five feet above the surface, and the work is to be continued until the temperature, which progresses regularly as the borings descend, rises to 17s degrees, and then no doubt is felt that there will be bub- bling perennial stream sufficient to meet all the wants of the city and to convert the surrounding region into tropical garden.

America's Oldest Fire Engine,

The oldest fire engine in the United States and probably in America, is in the possession of the William Penn Hose Company of Philadelphia. The tub is feet 8 inches long, foot 8 inches wide, and foot inches deep. The wheels are solid blocks of wood, foot inches ln diameter and about inches thick. The cylinders are 4 1-2 inches in diame- ter, with stroke of 1-2 inches. Tfe internal construction is the same as in the hand engines of the present day, with air chamber, waterway and suction. There is no makers name on it, but it was built by either Newsham or Fowke of London. The engine was accepted by the company in Salem, in April 9, 1749, and the con- pany took the name of the Union Engine Company. It was kept in use until April, 1789, half century of active service,
 when one called the Essex took it's place.

Tyler's Second Wife.

A few years ago friend loaned me Q book containing the "reminiscences of MT. Wise. In it he says that he was riding out one evening with President Tyler, who informed him that he was going to marry Miss Gardner.
 "Why," said Wise, 'tshe is too young for you."
 ''Not at all," replied the President, 'T'm still in my prime"
 ''rhat reminds me-" continued Wise "of an old colored man down in Vir- ginia, who was generally consulted by his old master on any affairs of importance, to both. The old master was widower, and when he got the consent of young lady to marry him he communicated the fact to the old man. My sakes,' said sambo, she is too young for you;' Not a bit of it, answered the master, Pm still in my prime 'Yes,' responded Sambo, you are in your prime now, but wait till she gets in her prime, then where will your prime be. .'"-Courier Journal.

''This is compensating world," says the optimist, and the following anecdote Illustrates the fact. Bernal Osborne, for many years the humorlst of the House of Commons, was noted, whsn a young man, for his saucy tongue and his propensity for ridiculing his friends. One of them, a Mir. Stanley, was a massive but slowly speaking man, who at last lost his tenn per, and said to Osborne's banter:
 'Tll tell you what it is Osborne, the Almighty has been very equal in the dis tribution of His gifts. He has given you tongue, and He has given me leg. Now the next time you use the tongue, I'll use the leg."
 Osborne was an officer of the 21st reg iment. One day, when his colonel, his wife, and the officers were lunching at Lord C-'s beautiful place, it fell to Osborne's lot to carve pigcon-pie. He had grudge against the colonel, whose name was Pigeon. Turning to Mrs. Pigeon, and offering to help her, he inn pudently said:
 "Do you like Pigeon7 1don't."
 The audacious subaltern shortly after found it convenient to exchange into an- other regiment. Later in life he enter ed the House of Commons, and became its "free lance," the terror of all and the trusted of none. He failed, because Englishmen thought that man of so much humor, and with such a saucy tongue could not be good legisla- tor
 70 s-," said he one day, to an in- timate friend, Eff you only knew how much my jokes cost me!''
 They cost him his reelection to parlia- ment, and illustrated the compensating nature of the world. MT. Rolfe, who became Lord Chancellor Cramworth, was in court one day when the leader of the circuit was keeping his audience in a roar of laughter.
 "How glad I am," said MT. Rolfe, "that am not as clever as that"

Ancient PrOhibitioniStSs

The Romans under a republic were prohibitionists after fashion. Men ot honorable family were forbidden by law to drink wine before the age of thirty, or to drink wine to excess; while fol women of any condition, free or slave, to touch wine, except on some solemn oc- casion as sacrifice, was an offense Eislt- ed bJ severe penalties. Hence, origin ated the custom of girls kissing their parents on their lips, as means of dis covering whether they had been samp- ling the co4tents of the family amphora. But the law, as affecting women, was, ln time, so far modified that they were per mitted to drink wine made from boiled must or raisins.- Golden Argosy.

Electric Alarms in Vineyards.

Mention was made some time since in these columns of the use of an electric alarm in vineyards, by which warning of the approach of low degree of temper ature at night was at once communicat- ed, in time to permit of the lighting of prepared bonfres, in order to ward of all danger of damage from frost. By the method described it was necessary to keep number of men under engage ment so that when the alarm was given no time might be lost in getting the fires started. This has proved the most ex- pensive part of the plan, but Glen FL len v.ticulturist has, by an ingenious in- vention, entirely obviated this difficulty. Attached to the frost bell of the ther- mometer arc wires leading to the heaps of combustible matter kept in constant preparation. A little gun cotton is put in each bonfire, and when the tempera- ture reaches thirty three degrees spark is at once communicated to the cotton, and the bonfire is lighted without the intervention of human agency. The in- vention is a valuable ono, as thereby . great saving is effected. San Francisco Chronicle
