The results of the Russian level sur
veys between the Euxine and the Caspian
show a considerable modification Of
former estimates, the difference being
reduced from 400 to So feet. The sur
face of the Caspian is certainly little
below the ocean level, but its subsistence
is subject to strange fluctuations. 1t
slowly rises and then slowly sinks each
alternate thirty years. The inhabitants
of the rocky south shore have a special
name for this phenomenon and explain
it by variety Of the absurdest theories.
The Caspian is nearly as salt as the Med
iterranean, and its former connection
with the ocean seems probable from the
fact that it abounds not only with sea
fish but with seal, which the harpooners
of the last hundred generations have
failed to exterminate.-Dr. Felix l. Os-
wald.

astit gtatss that his experiments have led
him to tic conclu lion that Prussian blue in
oil is the most stable OF colors- He asserts,
however, that it would never do to employ
the neeting aniline pigments upon the same
canvas with the stable Prussian blue-paint-
ing one portion Of a picture with the latter.
In fact, the aniline colors are found to be,
for the most part, quite unsuited for paint
ing purposes, and some OF them, as is well
known, are so changeable in the sunlight as
to be used in the production Of Photographic

If is commended by some orchardists
that a tree bearing certain number of
bushels of small apples will not grow as
fast as one bearing the same kind and
same number of bushels of large apples.
The reason offered is that the seeds of
the apples take much of the trees
strength, and that as the seeds Of the
small apples are nearly as large as Of the
large ones, the trees growth is thereby
more retarded. The weight of evidence
appears TO favor this conclusion.-Chi-

The Iron Review does not approve OF
the practice Of evaporating water upon
stoves or in furnaces for the purpose Of
moistening the air. "The trouble is,
most housekeepers maintain too high
temperature in the rooms; the air is un-
duly heated, and hence arises the intoler-
able sensation of dryness. This sensa-
ton can be, and often is, produced in
dwellings by high-pressure steam. Air
heated to so degrees or 50 degrees pro-
duces very different physiological effects
from that Of 20 degrees. A rise of 2
degrees or degrees in a room is noticed
by those who are accustomed to a uni
form temperature of 20 degrees or a few
degrees below, and "A sensation Of uneasi-
ness is produced. The great advantage
of low pressure steam is that by its en-
ployment we are able TO avoid high tenn

/ 10 hhkc OiANihb-iapef transparent
A conveient method for rendering or
binary drawing-paper transparent for the
purpose of making tracings and Of re-
moving its transparency so as TO restore
its former appearance when the drawing

Puschcr. It consists of dissolving a
given quantity Of castor-oil in one, two
or three volumes of absolute alcohol, ac-
cording to the thickness Of the paper,
and applying it by means of sponge.
The alcohol evaporates in few minutes
and the tracing-paper ~ dry and ready
for immediate use. The drawing and
tracing can be made either with lead
pencil or India ink and the oil removed
from the paper by immersing it in abso-
lutte alcohol, thus restoring its original
opacity. The alcohol employed in re-
moving the first oil is of course, reserved
for diluting the oil used in preparing the

I'm Route for salt River.
OK BOARD SHIP "DEFEAT."


December /, 1885.
ED. Pro TEN. NEWS: The object of
writing you this note is to assure you
we are making fine Roadway up the
saline stream. The first two days out
were rather unpleasant, many of the
crewsuffering from 'sea sickness" and
afew refractory ones disobeying orders.
The latter were speedily subdued by
the vigorous discipline of Captain
Rockhill, aud the sick land lubbers
were set right by your hum ble servant
administering to them copieus doses
OF TUFTS anti.billous pills. And here
1t is in order to state that the writer
hereof, as we'll as the whole crew, are
indebted and will ever kindly remem-
Der that Good Samaritan, DIR. Herrick,
for his valuable contribution of med
zeal chest for the voyage, which he
placed IN my possession. The pills.
salts aud castor oil were freely admin
istered to seamen Doyle, Thackston
and Murphy, which effectively worked
off all the campaign bile. Second
Mate Ellison had bad spell and the
smelling salts was all that revived him.
Capt. Rockhill got away with all the
vine allowance, and that jug of"spiriii
fermenti' is missing and cannot he
found. My suspicious are that Mex.
knows something of what became oft.
But, no matter, we are broken in for
the voyage now, and can get away
with our salt horse" and spuds with
out any appetizing morning tunics.
We are also becoming better natured,
and predict ere the voyage is over
we'll be the jolliest set of tars that
ever returned to port. Miller ana
Green needed no physic, but made
lots of fun at the expense of the poor
sick devils. viii write again when
we reach the head of the stream.

before them ought surely tn be better

from District Attorney Treece, who
