as destruction or humiliation things are
changed, transformations abound, but
essences never cease their existence. Sci
ence tells us that the force which makes
man living soul is indestructible, Just as
the particles which make up his material
body. Destroy the human soul, blot it out
of existence, and you commit the only act
of destruction which takes place in Gods
great universe.
Think you that God has formed the I'M
thinking, inanimate clay of the material
universe into glittering particles of matter
and ordained them to sport and play for
ever, while he has created being, the
very climax of creative skill and wisdom.
rejecting his own image in mental, moral
and spiritual capabilities, yet doomed that
masterpiece of divine wisdom to go out in
oblivion and darkness after momentary
existence of sunshine and shadow?
Does God work in vain? Yet if a sin
gle soul be extinguished in everlasting
nonentity, so far at least as that soul is
concerned, he has wrought in vain and
created for nothing. God does nothing in
sport, nor without meaning and purpose
He does not so work in the realm of ma
ture, and least of all, would he so work in
the higher realm of soul and spirit. Least
of all, would he create such God-like ma
lures capable Of unlimited growth and ex-
pansion without an adequate and serious
intention? To make us capable of such
thingS-to plant such instincts and posi-
bilities in our souls only to mock and de-
ceive us-oh amazing disproportion
between our endowment and our OPP
portunity-would God have set such
glorious hopes and aspirations over
against such poor and meager possibilities
the little three score years and ten
of earthly struggle and effort? No, it is
an attribute of divine wisdom to proper
ton means to ends and to adapt irstru-
ments, results to be accomplished with a
mastery skill and intelligent purpose.
But to create US as We are, with all these
powers and aspirations reaching out for
growth and expansion, to create us with
endowments superauously superior TO cur
end and destiny, were work less worthy
of wise and loving God than the mock
ing task imposed upon Michael Angelo by

Packing OF Human Beings.

The cellar population Of New York
city Is a scource of incessant disease
and crime. And with the more re-
spectacle class of poor. who occupy
the better kind of tenement houses, the
packing of human beings in those great
caravanseries is one OF the worst evils
of this city. 1t sows pestilence and
breeds every species of criminal habits.
From 20, 600 tenement houses comes 13
per cent. OF the mortality of our popu-
lation, aud l have little doubt as much
as 80 per cent. of the offenses against
property and person.
Oyercrowding is the one great mis-
fortune of New York. Without 1t we
should be the healthiest large city in the
world, and a great proportion of the
crimes which disgrace our civilization
would be nipped in the bud. While this
continues as it does now, there is no
possibility OF a thorough sanitary,
moral and religious reform in our
worst wards.
Few girls can grow up to maturity
IN such denS as exist here and be vir-
tuous. Few boys can have such places
as homes and not be thieves and vaga-
bonds In such places typhus and
cholera will always be rife, and the
maximum. While the poorest popula-
tion dwell in these cellars and crowded
attics neither Sunday Schools, mol
Churches, nor Charities can accom-.
pllsh a thorough reform.

Earth Worms Causing IrIchinac.

1t is a not uncommon occurrence
mels at different stages of its growth.
This is the case with the small thread
worm, syn gamus trachealis, which in
tests the windPipe of the pheasant, pea
cock, turkey, duck and other fowls.
and often occasions considerable dam
age Mr.. Walker, of Franklinville,

legations on the subject. He finds that

syngamus is the common earth worm.
which in places visited by birds has
been found 10 be beset with these para
sites. They are swallowed by the birds
along with the worms, and perforating
the pSOphagus, find their way into the
respiratory organs. During, or imme-
diately after, this migration the SYN
gamus attains sexual maturity and
attaches itself to the trachea. This
happens III six or seven days after il
has been swallowed. In seven days
more Its eggs are produced, which are
coughed up by the bird and reach the
ground, where the embryo emerges in
about three weeks 1t is swallowed by
a worm and remains in its intestinal
canal until devoured by bird. The
best method to check this disease is to
mo:sten the soil with brine, which kills
both the worms and the embryo syn-
gami which they contain. Birds which
have died of this disease should be de-
stroyed ty fire.

Professor PreSt,ofck, in the second
volume OF his geology just issued from
the Oxford University press, says that
the calculations on which the Glacial
Epoch was put back 2i0, COO years are
very defective. as they are based on the
rate at which the puny glaciers of the
Alps move But, basing his cslcula-
tions on the rate at which the Green
land glaciers move, he thinks that the
time occupied by the great American
Ice slide need not have been more than
from 10, 600 to 5000 years. And by
means of similar observations and cal
culations he limits the time for the for
nation OF the valleys, which followed,
to 5000 or 10, 900 years. Hence the be-
ginning of the Glacial Period may not
have been more than 80, 600 years ago
instead of 240. 900, and the close of the
period not more than 10000 years.
This makes an immense shrinkage in
the antiquity which some of the geolo-
gists have claimed for the human race.
The defect in all these calculations is
that It is not known how fast the ice
moved In glacial times.

Prof. Delpino, who as early as the
year 1873 announced the idea that
most extra-fioral nectar-glands in plants
are useful to the plants that bear them,
by attracting a body-guard of ants, has
now published the first part of an
elaborate memoir on tho topic. The
number OF species recorded as having
extra nuptial glands is much larger
than would have been expected. This
term ''extranuptial'' is coined to dis
tinguish glands under consideration
from certain extra-hOral glands, which,
no less than those In the flower, are
subservient to opollination. The service
performed by the ants so attracted and
fed is the keeping-off of caterpillars
and other insects which prey upon the
foliage, young fruits, etc.

To make artificial Ice: Take a
cylindrical earthen vessel, pour i'Ice
and one-third ounces of comms rcIai
sulphuric acid and one and three quar-
ter ounces of water into 1t. and then
add one ounce of powdered sulphate of
soda. In the centre of this mixture
place smaller vessel containing the
water to be frozen; then cover the
vessel, and, if poss BILE. revolve the
whole with gentle motion. In a few
minutes the water in the small vessel
will be converted into ice. The same
mixture can be used a second or third
time for making a block of ice. The
operation should, if possible, be per-
formed in cool place-ln a cellar, for
example.

Some important experiments have
been made at the Shoeburyness school
of gunnery in high angle firing. The
experiments were made with the 9-inch
or 23-centimeter gun used as howit-
ger. An elevation of 80 was given,
and battering charges were used with
Palliser shells. Out of shots 3 fell
within space OF 500 feet by so feet,
representing the deck OF first class
ironclad, and the range attained was
II miles. What is very important, too,
Is that the heavy charges and the high
angle did not train either gun or carri-
age IN the least, and one OF the officers
present has said that he believed the
gun would stand 4jo of elevation with
out injury. while with 40 range OF 10
miles would be secured. Now at 10
miles, Il ship is "hull down." so 1t has
come to this, that we can throw 9
inch shell on the deck of ship before

The use OF alum to clear muddy
water has long been known, but Prof.
Leeds, in the course of an investigation
on an outbreak of typhoid fever at
Mount Molly, n. j.. discovdred an
other value in its use, which may be

water which was supplied to the inhab-

with bacteria, about fifteen drops being
capable OF forming S,l00 colonies OF
these microscopic germs when spread
upon suitable surface He tried the
experiment of adding q minute amount
OF alum to this water in the proportion
of only half a grain to gallon, and
found that not only were the DIRT and

containing S.100 colonies of bacteria, 1t

Glasgow has a system of automatic
telephone call boxes. There are
seventy-six of the boxes scattered
about the city, ana every subscriber
has a Key to them. A non-subscriber
wanting to use them must first ring up
the exchange and ask if the connection
he desires can be made. If 1t can, he
drops the fee, which is either pennies
or 6, according to the distance he
wants to talk, into hole in the box.
The pennies as they fall break circuit
and ring a bell at the central oftlce.
When the bell has Tung the required
