IN THE DOMAIN OF SCIENCE.

A careful examination Of the aqueous
humor of the eyes Of cattle will determine
whether they are suffering from tubercle
or not. The bacilL will be found there in
all cases where the disease exists
A vast tbanyan'' tree covering between
six and seven acres, has been discovered
on the tiny Lord Howe island, 800 miles
from Port Macquaire, in Australia. It is
surpassed in size only by the greatest of
those in India.
A deposit of what is known as 'fossil
hour''s has been recently discovered in
Maine which will resist the action Of acids,
alkalies and oils, and is remarkable nom
conductor Of heat. 1t will be used in the
manufacture of rubber goods 1t contains
95 per cent of pure silica, and when mined
it comes out as a fine powder.
The new departure in photography, as
recently applied to telescopes, has extend
ed our information to most wonderful
degree already, especially in the delinea-
ton of the moons surface and has opened
wide field for astronomers. Many points
are clearly shown on the negative which
can not be seen with the human eye even
when using the powerful Lick telescope.
Imitation gold is new compound which
was recently discovered and which puz-
izles the best jewellers to detect. Its
weight is that Of old gold and the acid
tests are the same, except that the acid
boils a trife when applied to it, although
when it is wiped off no spot is left. It is
cheap and is easily worked. Its chief fac
tor is aluminium composite, from five to
eight per cent.
A new scientific instrument has been
gotten up by Prof. Bigelow, which is
called the aurora-inclinometer. By ex-
tensive researches he has found that the
same law which underlies the working of
electricity and magnetism is operating on
the sun, and that sunlight is magnetic
field in which the magnetized earth TO-
tates as does the .armature of dynamo.
The instrument will be sent to Alaska,
where it will be used in the study Of the
aurora, as it is there seen in the best con-
ditions.
The geographical congress recently
held In Switzerland recommended the
universal adoption Of the metric system
and also the Greenwich meridian for the
reckoning of longitude and time. It is
doubtful if this will be done. however, by
all nations, for, although standard in
both cases would be beneficial to the
world at large, France naturally desires
Paris time, and England would never sur
render her prime meridian and adopt q
revolution in her system Of measurements
unless the new measure was examined
and based upon intrinsic merit.

SpRECKLES CAUGHT
The Great Sugar Refiner Sur
 renders to the Trust.
THE BUSINESS TO BE DIVIDED
There Will be No Difficulty Now in Main
 taining Prices.

Claim that the Philadelphia Refinery Will be Run Independontly-Busi Men Confident that tho Object of the Deal is to Curtail Production-Claus spreckles' Great Gains.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 7.-After a fight of over three years Claus Spreckles and the Sugar Trust have come to an under standing by which there will be no fur ther competition between them.
 The negotiations, which have been go- ing on for some time, now at New York and again at San Francisco, were virtually concluded in this city yesterday.
 Theodore Havemeyer of New York, president of the Sugar Trust, went through the big refinery of Spreckles and made a careful examination of it, and it is understood that the agreement reached at San Francisco between Claus Spreckles and J. Craig Havemeyer was endorsed.
 By this agreement Spreckels isn't to sell his sugar in that part of the country east of the Missouri river, and the Have meyers arc not to invade the territory west of the Missouri.
 The Trusts refinery in San Francisco and that belonging to Spreckles are to al- ternate monthly in closing, and in this way it is expected that the production on the Pacific coast can be so regulated that there will be no difficulty in maintaining g prices.
 When asked what effect this agreement between his father and the Trust would have upon the Philadelphia refinery, Claus Spreckles, jr., while admitting the combination on the Pacific coast, said that it would not effect the refinery here.
 Notwithstanding the assertion of Claus Spreckles jr., that the Philadelphia re- finery will not be affected by the deal, it is believed in the sugar trade that steps will be surely taken looking to the cur tailment of it's production.
 Spreckles has received the greater part of the sugar crop of the Sandwich Islands and has made a large sum of money by the removal of the duty on raw sugar.
 The large grocers fear the Trust and will look for a cut in profits.

INCIDENTS OF CREMATION.
An Index Finger Pointing to Heaven from
 the F1ameH.

An Index Finger Pointing to Heaven from
 the Flames.
 Many bodies are reduced to ashes at Samson's crematory of which the world knows nothing, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The remains are placed in the retort without flourish of trumpets, as the relatives are seldom desirous of the notoriety which at present attaches to this method of disposing of the dead.
 The retort has glass-covered open ing through which the consumption of the body can be watched, and in some cases the sight is terrifying, owing to the action of the heat upon the muscles An uncle took the body of dearly be. loved niece to the crematory. He stood watching the flames consuming the body, when he was startled by seeing the right arm, with the fingers of the hand open, reach upward. Then all but the index finger of the hand closed, and the corpse lay recumbent in the flames, apparently pointing to the kingdom which Is never invaded by death. Tha uncle received a shock from which he did not recover for days. Had it not been for the fact that the girl had bee n dead for months, and had been buried for several weeks, the uncle would have believed that his niece had been placed In the retort while in trance, and that she had returned to life when too late.
 In some cases when the body is first placed in the retort 1t will rise to a sit ting posture, and in many instances turns over upon its face.
