ssUnder the Weather.

A st. Augustine correspondent Of
The Philadelphia Record, whether in
tentionally OR not, gives what may
pass for a sly thrust at the injustice
to the occupants of the soil who pre-
coded the present ''owners" when he
says: CATER the purchase of Florida
from Spain it took a seven years war
with the Seminole Indians to procure
aquiet title and peaceable possession"
And he shows, further along, how the
invaders cannot conquer the climate
which he suggestively declares, "weak-
ems e-ioints and kills ambition"
It is not given to man to shape the
weather, but the weather does shape
the man. The invincible sunshine and
the warm compulsive rains soonhave
their infunce upon the going and COM
ing Of the swiftest goers and corners.
It is not reasonable that a person
who can pick his breakfast from an
orange tree and gather dinner of ba-
nanas should develop the energy of a.
differently situated person who must
plant his potatoes and hoe and dig
them before he can have the pleasure
of eating them. So the Northerner
who comes down here and builds him
q house the first month of his stay,
and plants his grove the next gradu-
ally finds himself falling into slipshod
ways. His fences get to be disreputa-
BILE; his house is not fresh painted; his
walks are neglected.; his garden goes to
weeds; and he and his wife and his
children settle into the easy untidiness
which BELTS the latitude 1t is the
latitude which governs. If the May
flower had landed at ST. Augustine
instead OF Plymouth Rock, possibly
the Senlinoles would have been sooner
exterminated; but the Yankee devel-
oped on the neagre and stony soil OF
New England would have been a non
existent parsonage. He could never
have been brought forth in an orange
grove nor fed on sweet potatoes. His
mental, moral and physical fibre &C
quired their accidental toughness in
the hard school OF necessity"

him a poor place in his class, though

months of his cadet lifein light prison
was found at graduation to have more
than one hundred demerits for the
preceding six months. He passed his
examination in studies, but his def
ciencies in discipline caused his dis
charge. Had 1t not been for them he
would have stood second in class of
sixty. He managed tog get an appoint
ment in the army from civil life, and
IS now a lieutenant of infantry.

everything IN the room upside down,

Phosphorescent Salvation

Nature
The author Of Living Lights: A
Popular Account OF Phosphorescent
Animals and Vegetables" appears to
be suffering under a phosphorescence
mania. He leads off with the rather
extravagant statement, Among the
revelations of modern science none
have more absorbing interest than
those relating to the illumination OF
the deep sea-" He is. moreover, q
genuine enthusiast, and, like all such,
sees the salvation of his race in his
own hobby, for he gives it as his
opln1on(p. Al J that "the discovery Of
the secret OF phosphorescence, and its
practical application to the wants OF
mankind, would result in revolu.

The Patent Bed Spring.

Our patent spring bed has been re-
modelled. The one for two in bed is
so arranged that the part the wife lies
on can be thy thehusband unknown
to the former, and it springs her out

at any hour for which it is set. 1t
then remains turned up on one edge
SO she can't get back again. at least
on her side OF the bed, and she won't
come back on his side for she's too

The Secret OF the Sphinx,

An undertaking has been begun
which ought to yield results OF spe.
cial interest. This is the removal OF
sand from around the Sphinx. The
Sphinx occupies a position where the
ncroachment Of the desert is mos t
conspicuous. At the present day
nothing is to be seen OF the animal
except it's head and neck; but the old
Egyptian monuments on which it is
figured show not only the entire
body down to the paws, but also a
large square plinth beneath, covered
with ornaments. Since the time of
the Greeks, perhaps, even since the
reign OF George w., this plinth has
disappeared beneath t he sand and
its very existence has been forgotten.
1t is generally supposed that the
Sphinx is hewn out OF a large, isolated
rock that overlooked the plain; but M.
Maspero's researches suggest that it
Is work still more stupendous He
has proved that the Sphinx occupies
the center Of an amphitheater, form
ing q kind ofrocky basin, the upper rim
OF which is about on a level with the
mead OF the animal. The walls OF this
amphitheater, wherever visible, are
cut by the hand OF man. It seems
probable, therefore, that in the begin
ming there was a uniform surface ofroclz
in which an artificial valley has been
excavated. SO as to leave in the mid
die a block out OF which the Sphinx
was finally hewn. The excavations
now being carried on will doubtless
verify the existence OF the plinth
shown on the old paintings, and also
furnish evidence, by the ornamental
ton OF the plinth, OF the true age OF
the monument. M. Maspero is inclin.
ed to assign it to a very great an
tiquity possibly higher than the early
dynasties-that is, than the first Pc
Rod OF Egyptian history. AS the
result of last winters work, the sand
round the Sphinx has already been
lowered by about thirty meters.

Ozone as a Cern1icide.
In some experiments with ozon

In some experiments with ozone as
a curative agent, an English lady, so
far advanced in consumption that
her case appeared hopeless, has been
treated with inhalations of this gas,
with results described as marvellous.
After a months treatment, the APP
petite was regained, the sleep calm
and refreshing, and there was very
good prospect OF recovery. TIE ozone
was prepared by passing a stream OF
oxygen through the current of an IN
duction coil, and was administered
with atmospheric air in the proper
ton of l in 5. The e1perimenter has
reached the conclusion that the ozone
treatment is specially applicable to
all germ diseases.
