Some interesting facts regarding the
public collections OF American archeol-
cgy in the United States are given by
Henry Philips, Jr., in paper to the
American philosophical society. Judg-
ing by this report, there are six muse
ums OF the first class In this country
containing upward of 5000 specimens
the academy of natural sciences in
Philadelphia, the Davenport academy
of natural sciences, the national muse
um at Washington. the Peabody museum
OF American archaeology and ethnology
at Cambridge, the Peabody academy OF
science at Salem. and the Wisconsin
historical society at Madison, To these
must doubtless be added the American
museum of natural history at New
York and the Peabody museum at New
Haven, from which he received no re-
ports -Four museums should appar-
emily be grouped in second class as
important ones, but not so extensive
as those OF the first class; namely, Am
herst college, the New London county
historical society, the Wisconsin nat
ural history society of Milwaukee, and
the Wyoming historical and geological
society ct Wilkesbarre, Pa. Eleven
other museums are reported to have
collections of considerable interest. To
Judge from the statements given in
this paper, the Peabody museum at
Cambridge is the largest in the coun-
try.

Among the "cranky'' ideas adopted
by girls is the practice of preserving

as jewelry charms, and II is one of the
uonsensical fads OF the day.
"Do many of our patients carry
away their teeth after we have ex-
tracted themp Wen, l should say they
did, replied a West Thirty-fourth
street dentist to a reporter recently.
Nine out OF ten OF our patients,
especially young girls and women, ask

had tooth extracted eight years ago,
when she was child, which she has
carried as a charm ever since. She
wears it day and night. Quite a num-

they carry their extracted teeth after
they have been polished and tipped

At a review and sham fight some
time after, L met friend, and natural
ly told him of my recent affliction.
''Well,'' he said, Il should think be-
ing deaf was rather an advantage ON a
day of this sort.''
But, although he spoke in jest, there
really are advantages and disadyanta-
ges in being deaf in one ear. The dis
advantages are probably most disagree
ably felt at table, when you have to
turn deaf ear to the one you specially
desire TO be agreeable TO. If this hap
pens to be lady, who las read your
last book or admired your last picture,
it is doubly disagreeable. There are
two ways of getting over this; first you
may screw your head round toward her
till the chin rests Oh the shoulder, but
this looks awkward: or you may turn
the back of your head towards her,
when singular to say, you can hear all
she says, but this would look doubly
awkward, not TO say ridiculous. An
other disadvantage at table comes from
the inability a semi deaf person has of
locating sounds. Some one has said Il
good thing, or some one from some part
of the table has addressed you, but for
the life of you you, cannot tell which
way to look i'll replying. There Is this
same disadvantage i'll the street. You
hear carriage coming rapidly along,
and you want to get out of the way
quickly, but you must look both ways
before you start; your one ear VIII not
tell you its direction.
The advantages, however. are not TO
be deSpiSed. Not more than half that
is said in this world is worth listening
to. That is consolatory. You can
turn deaf ear to all lingual disagree
ablenesS. Even when induced to go TO
a lecture which turns out a delusion,
you can lean your hearing side on your
hand, and, while pretending to listen
attentively, be alone i'll your own world
thinking your own thoughts. But per-
| hapS the chief advantage is this:
| Wherever you are at night you can OBJ
tain refreshing sleep. Dogs may bark,
doors may bang, cocks may crow, hoot-
ers howl, and railway engine drivers
whistle out the whites OF their own
eyes, but they cannot annoy you. You
are lying on your side, deaf ear upper
most, i'll dreamless, wholesome slum-
| Der.
But again the half-deaf individual
has reason for thankfulneSs i'll remem-
bering that, as rule, the same causes
that rendered him deaf in one ear
might have deprived him of the use of
| both.

Il. PriHgle claims 10 have discovered
six new substances in some lower silua-
rian rocks In Selkirk. Five are said to
lie metals, and the other is a substance
resembling selenium, and which he
calls hesperlsium. One metal is like
iron, but does not give the rhodanate
reaction, nor that with tannin; another
resembles lead. Is quite fusible and vo-
latile, and forms yellow and green
salts; another is black, and he names it
erebodIum; the fourth is light gray
power; and the last Is dark in color.
For three of these element the author
assigns the equivalent s5.94 1876 and

AllmlinilGn united with brass i'm
proves 1t by giving to it greater
strength, ducility and resistance to
corrosive action. Castings made from
1t are sharper. Aluminium united with
copper and nickel gives IN alloy that
closely resembles silver, which takes
and holds an edge like steel, and for all
uses it excels German silver, nickel
silver, britannia, white metal, etc.
Aluminium united with silver gives an
alloy that is not tarnished by sulphur,
tough, strong, light and inexpensive as
compared with pure silver. Aluminium
united with iron produces an alloy 25
per cent. stronger than iron. and which
oxidizes less quickly than iron. Alum
inium united with steel gives an alloy
that is very tough, hard and elastic. 1t
takes bright silver polish, rusts less
easily than steel, and is very like the
WootZ steel, of which the Damascus
blades are make, having all its best
