Tall chimneys.

An editorial in the New York Sun re-
fers to the Clark chimney at Kearney, N.
j., as the s'tallest smoke tower in the
world" A correspondent of the Sun
says: There are several of greater height.
The Clark chimney measures 1886 feet In

Iron Works at Fall River, Mass, is $40
feet high; the great Townsend stack in
Glasgow, Scotland, is 454; there is a
chimney 435t feet in height at the mills
Of Tenant & Co., Glasgow, and the fac
tory of Dobson & Barlow in Bolton, Eng

A Prodigy of Memory.

Professor Henkle, writing in the Jour
nal Of Speculative Philosophy, makes
mention of remarkable character whom
he met at Salem, Mass, in 1869, Daniel
Mccartney by name. Mccartney was 81
years of age at that time, but proved to
the satisfaction of Mr.. Henkle that be
could remember where he had been, the
state of the weather, etc., for each day
and hour since he was nine years Old
dates covering a period of forty-two
years These remarkable feats were
proved and verified by weather records
and newspaper files kept in this city, and
of the hundreds Of tests resorted to to try
his powers he never failed of proving
himself wonder Of wonders in single
instance. This prodigy of memory
worked at the Salem Republican office,
and naturally one would think him able
to furnish brains for half dozen papers,
but on the contrary they could make no
use of him whatever, except to turn the
press twice each week.

Adam,s Height.

A French scientist declares that Adam
was sixteen feet nine inches high, and
that man has been growing shorter ever
since; that in the year 1000 the people
will be only fifteen inches high, and
they will keep on dwindling until they
become reduced to mere nothingness,
whereupon the earth shall suddenly
collapse. The theory is possible; but il
is man who generally collapsss when he
becomes SO frightfully short" And
won't Barnum feel sad when he learns
that Adam was over sixteen feet tall, OF
twice as high as any of his giants

How the Tongue faster.

OF taste, a medical journal says tina,
it is not equally distributed over the
whole surface OF the tongue. There
are three distinct regions or tracts,
each Of which has to perform its own
special Office or function. The tip of
the tongue is concerned mainly with
pungent and acid tastes; the m ddle
portion is sensitive chiefly to sweets or
bitters, while the back or lower portion
confines itself entirely to the flavors of
rich, fatty substances. This subdivi-
sion OF faculties in the tongue makes
each piece OF food undergo three sep
ar.te examinations. which must be
successfully passed before it is admit
ted into full participation in ths human
