 SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.


 CoNsANGUNEoUs MAkmAoEs. -.Investigating marriages of near relatives, Nr. A. IT. Huh con- cludes, as did Mr. G. H. Darwin some years ago, that the popular belief in sterility, or deafmute, idiotic or deformed ofspring as natural result of such unions is without foundation in fact. The effect Is really to intensify the tendencies common to the progenitors and 1t s only when the tenden- ces thus liable to be magnihed In the descendants are bod that unions of cousins need be avoided.
 RUsT-PREvENrIoN.-lron and steel are protected from oxidation by giving them coating of mag netic oxide of iron. After much experimenting, M. de Meritens, the French electrician, has suc- ceeded In eecting this more satisfactorily than by the methods now in use, which requires eight or ten days for steel and gives only imperfect results tor iron He places the article in bath of puie water at temperature of about l76 degrees, and passes through 1t an electric current little more than sufficient to decompose water. In few hours all sorts ofiron or steel receive brilliant black and very hard coating of magnetic oxide, which takes fine polish.
 PHoroGRAPHIc TYPE SErrING-A very practical illustration of what science Is doing for Us is furnished by the reprint of the Encyclopedia Britannica now being completed in New York by the Henry G.

 POISON ST1MULANTs.-Every virulent poison known to botony or chem istry, says Dr. Felix L.. Oswald, can be used for purposes of stimulation. The Yakoots of northern Siberia fuddle with poisonous toadstools the Syrian mountaineers with arsenic, the miners of the Peruvian Andes with verdigris, the Chinese and Turks with opium, the Syrians with decoction of hemp. seed, the Malays with the acrid juice of the betel-nut. In a few starving villages of Dalmatia, foxglove-lcaves (dgitaliO are used for intoxication purpose. The great preference for alcohol for centuries-and even since the first dawn of historic tradition-may be explained by the fact that it is by far the most universally accessible of the virulent stimulants rather than by any attraciveness of its taste by hereditary desires. Even the drunkard's children, contrary to common belief, are nauseated by the first taste of fermented or distilled liquors.

 AMONG HOME AUTHORS.
A Chaplet of Criticism.

One of the recent and most admirable chronicles of great nation is John Richard Greens "Short History of the English People," which is, to-day, as popular as when 1t first appeared, in 1874. The conscientious work of scholarly, patient accurate and notably brilliant man, speedily became text book for those of whose growth and prosperity he spiritedly wrote.
 This book and its later ampliAed editions found Prior to 1877 it was estimated that more than one hundred and thirty thousand copies had been sold in England, alone.
 There are no American annals (outside of school histories) that rival this success.
 Our national records, written by Sparks Hild- reth, Bancroft, Losing and others, lack the one grand feature of condensation. Brevity forbids literary flagree. No word painters or skillful frescoers of redundant sentences, like Macaulay, Prescott or Froude, so closely touched the Anglo Saxon heart as John Richard Green, their modest follower, did with his simple, incisive, unorna- mented truth.
 Of Ticknor's last years imprints none were more important than an octave of 552 pages Qncluding table of contents and index) entitled "A History of the War of Secession, ls6l-1s65." The oom- \piler of this timely and honest work is Rossiter
 
 with "A History of the French War, ending in the Conquest of Canada" and "A History of the War of 1S12-1s15 between the United States and Great Britain" and will, some day, hope send to press as good a short history of America and its native and imported populace John Richard Green, himself, might have written, if to the subject born and properly enthused.
 For nearly six years, historian Green has slumbered, drcamlessly, beneath a monument that will perish long before his few Gall excelen) books cease to instruct the generations yet to be. An author, equally candid, graphic and artlessly picturesque, may not arise; but, in this country Rossiter Johnson has model superior to his own good, plain style.
 He has an attractive story to te and it is recited in curt, journalistic phrase for MT. Johnson Is newspaper man of tact and experience.
 His volume on the "War of Secession" consists of thirty three chapters and is illustrated with thirty maps of prominent military operations. He says, in a preface, that covers less than two pages, "as the book is intended for easy reading, and not for hard study, have avoided foot notes and references" The cause of fratricidal contest, always to be deplored, he sets forth in his first chapter, which will be often re-read and with mental profit. Then The Outbreak and The Beginning of BloOdshed are described. Trumpets

THE latest snag that the Brice men
have struck is an affidavit of New
Yorker that Brice, about a year ago,
swore when entering on bond, that he
was a resident of that State. John H
Thomas is using this as an argument
in his favor. The fact that Brice is a
resident of New York, and that he has
not voted in the State for two years, will
not make any difference to the followers
of Brice so long as s $ are plenty and
they will be until after the Senatorial
election.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

New York Press.
The season of 1889 at the Lake Supe-
rior iron mines is closed. The total pro-
duction is 6,S04,611 tons, an increase of
2,182,564 tons, or Il per cent. on 1888.
This is an enormous gain and its signi-
ficance explains itself when it is recall
ed that these mines are are a very i'm
portant part of our source of supply for
Bessemer pig and soft Steels. They are,
however, now supplemented by the
brown ores of Talladega, Ala, from
which the Talladega Iron and Steel
Company is producing fair Bessemer
pig iron, of which the Pennsylvania
Steel Company has contracted for 5000
tons. The Alabama Bessemer ore belt
runs through the counties of Calhoun,
Talladega, Shelby and Bibb, and there
is also Bessemer ore in Virginia. As the
american Manufacturer, commenting
on these figures, says: "That to-day we
are not dependent upon foreign ores for
our steel pig and steels is due to these
discoveries and to the wise policy of
continuing protection to these deposits
and the keeping down, as a result of
the same, of the price of steel irons and
SteelS."
