A minister in this city gave utterance
to the following remarkable assertion
recently during a Sunday morning SER
mon: an 1850 the number of insane in
the population of the United States was
at the rate of l in 1000; in 1860 it was
/ in 1900; in 1870 it was l in 1000, and
in 1880 it was 1 in $50"
Your correspondent showed these fig
ures to DIR. Matthew ID. Field, q local
expert. DIR. Field thought the stated
proportion of insane to the total popula-
ton was certainly exaggerated. Being
asked what the proportion is in New
York city he figured with a pencil for a
minute. and then said, looking somewhat
puzzled: why, its about l in 200. l
guess those figures are not so far off,
after ALL"
"Dr. Hammond said: Read that ex-
tract in this way and you'll have the
right idea: In 1850 the known insane in
the United States numbered 1 in 800;
in 1860 there were found | in 1900; in
1870 there were discovered an average of
l in 1000, and in 1880 diligent search
brought to light / in $780, do not be-
lieve that insanity shows any such in
crease, but the drag-net is abroad, and
everybody is on the lookout for cranks.r

I'VE fisherman have a contempt Tor
the shark. He doesn't begin to COM
pare with his first cousin, the little dog
fish. for voracity. l would rather fall
overheard among ten man-eatcrs that
into a school of dogfish. l might
brighten the sharks off by splashing, div
ing, and making a great noise. But the
dogfish is dangerous. There are a great
many of them outside now. They FOL
low the mackerel in, and stay there now,
feeding Oh menhaden.
1.-The dogfish go in schools Of 1000 to
10000. They travel close together, and
woe betide the luckless fisherman who
drops overheard. They chase the mack
erel into the nets and cut them all to
pieces. / have had a thousand feet of
net ruined in one night by them. Fisher
men have had their hands lascerated by
them when handling their nets, n last
summer of the men employed in the
mackerel fishing fell overheard and was
literally devoured before the eyes of his
companions. A man has no chance with
dogish. Hundreds of them will attack
him, tearing pieces OF flesh away, and he
sinks in a twinkling. A couple OF years
ago a fisherman off Nantucket was
swamped n quarter of a mile from
shore. He swan but two or three strokes
when he was seen to throw his n
up and disappear. The water was
churned all around him. and the dogfsh
jumped into the air. He was never seen
again. The dogfish now off the harbor
are about two to three feet long."-New
York Evening Post.

1t is a fact that n Buffalo family,
while travelling over Europe in a car
riage some years ago, under the incen-
tive of wagers, made a test of the mat
ter of counting a million. Five mem
bers Of the family performed the task
respectively in three weeks, five weeks,
two months, and six months As the
time was spent entirely in driving about
the continent, it was possible TO put in
five or six hours of steady counting a
day, and by the use of pebbles, which
were shifted from n pocket into an.
other to mark tens and hundreds, the
labor was greatly facilitated. Ii may
readily be imagined that the counting
a terrible bore to such of the
party as were not participants. and one
of the latter admits n recollection OF
sometimes in those days finding himself
counting when he should have been a
ing his prayers, so mechanical did the
habit become before the task was fin
ished .-Buffalo Courier.

In his recently published treatise on
the anthropoid apes, Professor Hartman
of the Berlin university tells a touching
story of a large monkey which belonged
to the Geological gardens Of Dresden.
Mafuca, rs she was named by Herr
Schopf, director of the gardens, was a
parsonage of polite She would
blow her nose with n handkerchief, put
on her own boots, wiring out the linen,
steal keys and open locks. She had a
cup of tea every morning, and one of
cocoa every evening, and at any time
would fill her own cup or tumbler with
out spilling a drop-suggesting at once
a sense Of propriety and of appreciation
of the beverage. Her death was quite
pathetic. After some years experience
of the Dresden climate she showed
symptoms of consumption; and, if una
BILE to realize the progress of the disease,
she was quite conscious when it was
drawing to n close. She would scarcely
allow her friend, DIR. Schopf, who nursed
her throughout her illness, to leave her
sight. When the end approached, feel
ing her forces ebbing, she threw her
arms around his neck, kissing him re-
peatedly, held out her hand to grasp his,
and fell back ~lifeless. London Illus

The tendency of cultivation is to in
crease the size of that portion Of the
vegetable which is eaten by man. Gar
deners and farmers practice an artificial
selection which overrides natural selec-
ton, and preserves those characteristics
which are most useful to mankind in
stead of those which are of most value
to the plant itself. If a plant is in de-
mand for the beauty Of its blossoms,
double flowers are 500 developed by the
conversion of the stamens into petals
under the influence of high cultivation.
and the inability of the double blossoms
to set seed is overcame by the division of
roots, the planting of cuttings, and other
devices familiar to the horticulturist
In a similar manner a plant which in
a feral state has a tap-root of moderate
size is converted into one which seems
to exist only in order to grow a tap-root,
and thus we get from the i%nnocuous
tribe of crucifers u great turnips and
radishes, and from the more harmful
umbellifere our carr ots and parsnips.
The noxious properties of a root are
much reduced by this increase of size.
There is first a dilution Of the poisonous
principle-it * diffused throughout a
much larger quantity of matter than in
the wild root, and secondly, there is a
diminution in actual quantity through
growth under human care, sheltered in a
garden from the encroachments of rival
plants and the inroads of animal foes

A Peculiar Symbol of the Magls Ian's
Crnft-Its Efficacy

A Peculiar symbol of the Magic ian's
Crnft-Its Efficacy.
The report comes from Michigan that
some local celebrity has found a marvel
GUS rod that is not only a sure detector
of water and metal. but will indicate
almost anything desired to be known.
From Kansas comes the information
that seventeen counties in that state
possesses veritable madstones, all of
which have been severely and accurately
tested and proved to be of great virtue.
All this would seem to indicate that the
reign of superstition and the influence
of divination has not yet departed even
in this practical age.
The rod has always been a peculiar
symbol Of the magidan's craft, and the
agency by which occult power is mani
tested and worked out. Even in Holy
Scripture it is employed constantly in
this way. Moses wrought his miracles
before Pharaoh by mean of a rod which
had been sanctioned as an emblem of
divine commission. 1t is said. too, that
Aaron's rod was an oracle in the settle
ment of the contest with the princes,
and when, after his death, it was laid up
in the Jewish ark, it budded and brought
forth almonds. The Egyptian and AS
syrian astrologers and magi all
are represented in ancient sculp-
ture as having peculiarly shaped
rods, with which they OWNED and
~prophesied. Among the Greeks and the
Romans the same thing is evident, while
the more savage nations of Europe held
the sacred wand in great repute and
reverence. Tacitus tells that the ancient
Germans used the rod constantly in all
places of battle or conquest, and that
they also OWNED the future much in the
same way. For this purpose" he says,
their method is simple. They cut a rod
off some fruit tree into bits, and after
having distinguished them them by vari-
cloth, then the priest draws each piece
and explains the oracle according to the
marks"
In the middle ages the use of the di-
vining rod was universal and was anc
toned by many dignitaries of church
and state. 1t was believed to have per-
feet efficacy for the discovery of hidden
treasure, veins of precious metals, springs
of water, and especially for the discov-
cry of criminals guilty of theft or muir
der.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, when the Jesuits were the
chief scholars of Europe. there were
many treatises extant devoted to the
discussion of the merits and claims Of
these magic wands. In 1859 the Jesuit
Gaspard Schott affirms that the rod IA
in constant use in every town in Ger
many, and that he had very frequently
seen it used in the actual discovery OF
hidden treasure. Chicago Herald.

The earthquake OF the 3lst of August
will long be remembered as the most de.
structive convulsion of nature which has
visited the territory of the United States
since ii was settled, and the first of great
violence since that of 1871. The centre
of disturbance seems to have been, so far
as this country is concerned, in the vicin-
ity of Charleston, of which city it made
fearful wreck. Streets choked with build
ings, frantic people fleeing from their fall
ing houses,-all in an instant, formed a
scene of which Americans heretofore have
only conceived Of as calamity of other
lands. The whole business part Of the
eity was wrecked, with great loss of life
and extensive destruction OF property.
The earthquake was severely felt at other
places in the same region, and seems to
have extended throughout the whole
country between the Mississippi and the
Potomac. 1t will take many days to a.
certain the full amount of damage OF the
rrne extent Of the disaster.

A method of sending a picture by tele-
graph has been invented by a Scotch
man, w. Gemmill, by which a photo
graph taken at one end of a wire is
transmitted and reproduced at the other.
The picture is primarily projected on a
selenium cell placed in the Photographic
circuit, which, according to the degree
of intensity of the light received, acts
upon the current, and through it a num-
Der of subsidiary currents connected
with an ~incandescent lamp, illuminating
1t with varied degrees of intensity con-
sonant with the strength of the current.
@These successive illuminations, accord
ing to The Photographic Times, would
give images Of corresponding brightness
to the points in the picture thrown upon
the selenium cell. and the final picture,
OF course, would consist of a series Of
these points in various depths of shade"
