Chemistry a pelightfu1 Recreation.

"When a youngster, " says Mr.. Mat
thieu Williams, II amused myself by
making saturated solutions of alum in
hot water, placing cinders, etc., in these,
and setting them aside to cool. The
cinders became coated with beautiful
crystals, and appeared like choice min
eral specimens. Baskets and other de-
vices in covered wire were similarly
coated. Sugar was crystallized, beauti-
full crystals of sulphur, made by slowly
evaporating a solution of sulphur in BIZ
sulphide of carbon, and another form of
sulphur crystals by fusing sulphur in a
crucible or gallipot, breaking the crust
which first forms on cooling and then
pitching out the liquid. A nest of beau
tiful crystals remains.
81 refer to these crudities in order to
suggest that crystal making should DO
reinstated as a popular scientific recrea-
ton. The alums, which are so numerous
and so varied in color, would alone af-
ford material for a little museum; but
the amateur availing himself of the
achievements of modern chemistry would
find the field of recreation to be practi-
cally boundless and the pursuit both ele-
CANT and instructive. Among novelties
are the isomorphous double chlorides of
alkalies, iron, and of the alkaline earth
metals, such as chromium, aluminium,
magnesium, beryllium, etc. Their col
ors are magnificent; some of them are
described by DR.. Neumann as crystalliz-
ing in splendid octahedrons, resembling
large diamonds and rejecting light with
similar brilliancy. They are chemical
first cousins to the alums referred to
above. From these the ambitious anna
teur might proceed to artificial gems,
some of which, now within the reach of
chemical skill, are quite equal to the
natural specimens. "-Arkansaw Trav-

Chinese Love for Flowers.

You may see on the hundreds of canals
that cut up the country around Shanghai
boats whose dingy and miserable appear
ance betokens the poverty, even the beg
gary of their occupants, and yet near the
stern, on the top of the sawbang, or cook
ing canopy-the ''galley'-you will see
from two to a dozen pots of flowers.
Little Chinese girls nearly always place a
sprig of some bright flower in their glossy
tresses of raven black, and they some
times show a good deal of taste in the ar
rangement of their nosegays.
lust about the LIST of February, or near
the Chinese new year, one may see men
and boys selling branches of a small bush
that bears a yellow flower, somewhat re-
sembling the spicebush flowers of Vir-
ginia. This flower has, to a Chinese,
associations bright and pleasant as those
that chung around the far famed haw-
thorn that bloomed in old England on
cold Christmas Day" You can buy in
the market for a few CHEN or cash a lit
tie flower pot with a few bulbs or daffo-
dill in it, and by keeping it in the window
OF your Don have a few bright
looking flowers. The Chinese do not
plant in their parks such elaborate flower
beds a. the Americans and Europeans,
but they are very fond of pot flowers

Another delusion is malaria, sc called.
The word malaria means bad air. The
diseases that are attributed to this cause
are frequently common in districts where
there is no stagnant water or anything
else to faint the atmosphere. 1t will be
remembered that during the autumn of
1881 there was an unusual number of
people who were attacked by these dis
eases in southwestern and west-central
Missouri and also eastern Kansas, when
there had been no rains of any conse-
quence for months, and that, too, in dis
tricts far removed from decomposing
water or any other substance. The
cause or causes of these diseases were
surely not in the air, consequently should
not be attributed to malaria. 1t is more
probable that during the dry, hot
weather of summer that the heat that
is radiated and the electricity that is gen
Grated by the sun have an e~nervating in
auence on the system-that from the
nerve centers this influence reaches the
muscular system, principally through
the pneumogastric nerve, and the
stomach being the most delicate and
intricate of almost any of the involuntary
muscles, is the principal sufferer from
such e%nervating influence. Indigestion
follows as a symptom, and an increase
of bile brings what is called biliousness
and malaria.
L hope my medical friends, and I claim
many as such, will pardon the presump-
ton on my part of the discussion of a
subject that comes more within their
province than that of mine. But this
conclusion has been forced from observa-
tons that reach over a period of many
years as a surveyor in the west. 1 have
observed that there were more cases of
sickness of this kind during, or immedi-
ately after, the season in which there
were the greatest number of electric
showers or electric disturbances as shown
by the surveyors instruments. I con-
clude, then, that heat and electricity are
the prime causes of malaria" and that
they weaken the stomach and, in a large
majority of cases, produce the diseases
usually attributed to this cause.
l give the thought to the profession
with the hope that it will offend none.-

l have recently met with several cases
of insomnia due to over taxation of the
American nervous system, and have been
requested to prescribe some drug that
would be effective to produce sleep and
be at the same time harmless.
No such drug existsl
There is not one medicine capable of
quieting to sleep voluntary life that has
been working ten hours at high pressure,
except it be more or less poisonous. Con-
sumption of chloral, bromide in some
form, or opium, has increased in this
country to an incredible extent, is still
growing, and a large number of Ameri-
cans go to bed every night more or less
under the influence of poison. Sleep
thus obtained is not restful nor ~restora-
tive, and nature sternly exacts her pen
alties for violated law, more severe in
these cases than in most others.
Digestion suffers frst-one is rarely
hungry for breakfast, and loss of morn
ing appetite is a certain sign of ill health.
Increasing nervousness follows, until
days become burdens and poisoned nights

A gentleman came to me some months
ago and, showing good references, said
that he had just come to the city, was
in reduced circumstances, but had a good
situation with a large concern here and
wanted a few weeks credit. This was
readily granted, and he has ever since
boarded with me, but notwithstanding
he has borne himself in every way as a
gentleman, he has never yet quite paid
me up. When his pay day comes he
always pays me a portion of his indebtedS
ness, but though he has money over for
which he has no apparent use, he insists
on leaving a balance due until next time.
l asked him the other day what he meant
by this and why he did not square up.
His answer was that he kept behind in
his payments ON principle-that he did it
to insure proper courtesy and considera-
ton in the hotels treatment of him. He
said the little debt he owed me was a
constant lever which commanded good
attention and further indulgence, on the
principle probably that people will ''send
good money after bad" and that he
never intended to square ccounts until
he was ready to leave. l wonder if the
rule of selfishness is at the bottom of all
our social and business intercourse, as
this mans theory would seem to indi-

1t is said one of the curiosities of a
turtles nest is that no n having taken
b eggs from a turtles nest can get them
all back in again. Several ave tried the
experiment to find it a blank failure.
After filling the cavity in the sand there
are always enough eggs left to fill a
couple more nests just as large. Old Mrs.
Turtle when she deposits an egg paddles
it in tight with her feet, egg by egg, the
elasticity of the egg shell permitting it,

WELL Known ATHLETES.

How the Old National Association Was
Finally Merged Into the Union-PIct
ures of Prominent Athletes Who VIII
Compete for Prizes.
On the 10Th day of September Of this year
the first annual field meeting of the Amateur
Athletic union of the United States will be
held at Detroit on the new grounds of the De-
troit Athletic club. This meeting is for the de-
cision of the amateur athletic championship
of America, and consists of competitions in
short and long distance running and walking,
high and broad jumping, throwing heavy
weights, hurdle racing and tug of war. For
the past ten years the annual championship
meeting has been given by a body called the
National Association of Amateur Athletes Of
America, which up to this year has been the
high court for athletics. For some years
prior to the formation Of the Amateur Ath-
letic union there had been dissatisfaction e1-
pressed by the larger clubs Of the country
concerning the rulings and methods of the
National association. This feeling grew to
such an extent that one by one the clubs
which composed the National association left
it, and Joined forces with the new ''u~nion,"
and with the exception of one, the Amateur
Athletic union Is composed of the largest
and wealthiest athletic clubs of the country.
