SCIENTIFIC CHAT.

Some time ago experiments were made 10 as
certain the proportion of oxygen in the River
Thames, at low water II being found that as 10
runs through London the quantity of oxygen di-
mlnishes rs compared with the proportion it con-
tains at Richmond, about IL or ID tons of oxygen
being lost between Richmond Bridge and Somerset
House. Recent tests of the Thames water show
that near the sewage outfii il contains but about
nall cubic inch of oxygen per gallon, instead OF
Two cubic inches per gallon above the city; but
lower down the proportion of oxygen rises again
until the water is within 10 per cent of its richness
IN oxygen at Richmond. Thus the considerable
power which flowing water possesses Of keeping
itself sweet and clean Is regarded as positively
proved-thOugh the power, great as it is, may be
and often Is oveFtaxed when the organic matter is
non-living. As TO whether it has the power of de-
stroying those minute living organisms which are
the germs of certain Diseases different opinions
exist among scientists.
The journal of the Chemical Society states that
Of some Is varieties of cheese experimented with
Cheddar was digested in the shortest time namely
four hours while unripe skim Swiss cheese re-
quired 10 hours for solution. There appears to be
no difference in the digestibility of all sorts of
hard cheese all soft cheese; but all fat eheeses
are dissolved the most rapidly because, being open
by reason of the fat, they are the more readily
attacked by the solvent. There seems to be no
connection between the digestibility and the per-
centage of water present in the cheese, though
there il some connection with the percentage of
lat and the degree of rIpeness. From numerous
examinations which have been made OF the guam
tity of nitrogen dissolved, it ia concluded that
cheese, account Of its great dgestibiity is the
most nourishing of all foods, meat and eggs ex-
cepted.

The Bridegroom Was Left.
[Hariford Courant. Nor. "a

There was a very trying period in a young
bridegrOOm's life this week. He had secured
passage for himself and bride 20 New York Dy
steamer. They boarded the boat and went to a
staterOom, and had just laid down their lighter
baggage when il was discovered that something
had been left behind. The bridegroom rushed
out, turning the key in the lock from the
outside from the force of bachelor habit
and went up town with the key in his pocket.
When he got back it was to see the boat a
hundred feet from the dock and his bride
wildly waving her hand from the stateroom
window. The boat got some miles down the
river before the imprisoned bride was able TO
communicate with an officer of the boat, who
unlocked her door with a pass key. However.
the bridegroom caught train and was able TO
reach the Cromwell Landing before the boat.
It's an old adage about the course of true love.
