BoussingauIt spent ten years in South
America. making use Of every uppor-
tunitys to study the grand phenomena
in which that region is SO rich, and
reaped as the fruit of his sojourn an
abundant harvest of observations in
many departments Of science. His
work included numerous mineral
analysis; the discovery of new min
eral, which he named after one of his
teachers, Gay-Lussite; analysis of the
milk of the sscow-tree, of palm-wax.
of guanos. and of the thermal waters
of Venezuela; and the discovery OF the
province of Antioquia of a bed of plat
mum, a metal which had previously
been known only as it was dissemin-
ated in sands. He often made his
analysis of minerals on horseback.
with the aid of a portable balance; he
carried Fortin barometer slung over
his shoulder, with which he estimated
the height of mountains. His methods
of Investigation were sometimes extra
ordinarily ingenious. In taking the
temperature, for instance, in the crater
of Parto, having found his thernoIne-
ter inadequate, he let down some of
the tin-foii wrappings of his chocolate
cakes. The tin was melted. The tenn
perature was therefore higher than the
melting-point of that metal, or more
than 235 c. He then let down a pis-
tol-ball which was not melted. The
temperature was thus foundto be lower
than the melting-point of lead, or less
than :'32 c., and was therefore some
where between the two extremes. The
guide who accompanied him on this
adventure could not conceal his nerv-
business at hearing the subterranean
roarings of the volcano, and. looking
into the crater, asked, s'What if it
should burst out?'' ssThen we should
be lost" replied Bousslngault. The
guide answered, claimed by the cool
ness of his superior, THAT is what !
think, too" In 1881 he accomplished
the ascent of Chimborazo, which Hum
boldt had been obliged to give up, with
the loss of one of his instruments-and
recovered the nstruInent.-Fro7n a

WELCOME THE GLAD NEW YEAR.

It comes with promise and with hope.
The mind of man goes swiftly BACK
over the months that are past; and
although it recalls the beginning OF
other New Years with all their hopes
and fears; although it traces disappoint-
ments and failures innumrrable, 1t
comes gladly back to the present time
and the beart is warmed with anticIpa
ton of what the year of 1889 may
bring; and we peer eagerly into the
future and think we see better things.
greater blessings, and more OF the mix
of human kindness poured out to those
who earnestly toll for the bettering OF
mankind. Thank God there are but
few drones in our fair city Or county.
There are few men who have not labored
hard for the lettering of their condi-
ton as we'll as that of their neighbors.
True. their are few who have succeed
ed financially through the months OF
depression in business; d few who have
taken advantage Of their fellow men
and worked themselves into a state of
apparently blissful Importance, I'M
mindful of the many who suffered.
For such men the promised blessings
of the new year can hold little pleasure.
But for the Woodworking farmer OF
mechanic, the enterprising business
man, the nntiring professional man.
the hopes that come with the glad new
year are boon of no small Importance.
