THERE is NOTHING NEW.

ALEXANDER the Great had copy Of
the "Iliad- inclosed in 4 nutshell. and
II is quite certain that it could not have
been written without the aid Of mi
croscope.
Is all that pertains u sculpture and
painting the ancients knew SO much
that their superiority has never been
questioned aud their work remains as
unsurpassed models.
ALL the mechanical powers, the screw,
lever, pulley, incline plane. wedge,
wheel and axle, were known to the
aneients and used in everyday life.
They were expert builders, as existing
relics testify.
IL our schools at the present day we
use "Euclid's Elements OF Geometry" :"
written by Euclid two thousand two
hundred years ago. Euclid also wrote
on music and optics, antedating much
which we think we discovered.
THE people of Tyre were such experts
in dyeing that the Tyrian purple re-
mains unexseiled to this day. The
Egyptians were also wonderful dyers
and could produce colors SO durable
that they may be called imperishable.
TIE ancients were wonderful glass
workers and discovered a method of
making it malleable, which we have
not been able to do. They could spin
glass into garments, dye it into every
shade of the rainbow, and etch ii with
marvellous skill
TWENTY centuries before the birth of
Watt, Hero of Alexandria described
machines whose motive power was
steam. He also invented double force
pump, used as fire engine, and antici-
pated the modern turbine wheel by
machine he named "Neolpile."
LAYARD found in the ruins of Nineveh
what Sir David Brewster pronounced
to be a ''magnifying glass;" and nearly
four thousand years ago the Egyptians
and Assyrians observed the stars
through n sliding tube" which we
have reason TO believe was a telescope.
IN medical skill the Oriental physi-
clans of India practiced vaccination
1000 years ago An@sthetics were
known in the days of Homer, and the
Chinese >, 600 years ago had prepara-
ton of hemp, known rs una yo," to
deaden pain-something similar to the
modern cocaine.

SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT,

IT is stated that since the sunhower
has been cultivated on certain swamps
of the Potomac, malarial fever has de-
creased. Similar results have been OBJ
served in Holland, at the mouth Of the
Sheldt
SoUNDINGs in the Black sea show that
beyond depth of six hundred feet the
water is SO impregnated with sulphur
cited hydrogen gas emanating from de-
caying animal and vegetable matter
that living organisms are not found
there.
OBSERVATIONS of the Muir Glacier
show that the fall of blocks of Ice from
the end is extremely irregular Some
times they come tumbling down at five-
minute intervals, but there is often an
hours space between two successive
blocks Heavy rains cause more fire.
quent falls
SOME interesting experiments have
recently been made in Denmark in fell
ing trees with gun cotton. For telling
tree twenty-five inches in girth IL took
two men only quarter of an hour TO
make the preparations, the rule FOL
lowed being 10 make one bore hole for
each foot of circumference.
As lighthouse illrminant, gas has
been found to possess the following ad-
vantages over oil. It's facility for in
crcasing the power on the sudden oc-
currenee Of fog. absence of the neces-
sity of trimming. and power to make in
stantancous transitions from light to
darkness, and the converse.

With all their troubles were hurrying past
And saw. through the dangers, the cares, and
the fears
That Love will be loyal II Courage VIII last.
The scepter was broken, AMI Poverty's power
Was forced from the cabin; the bride and the
groom
with Hope and Content, each moment and hour,
Were aided by Plenty Il filling the room-
The cabin has fallen; the bride and the groom
Now I've In . mans on that's stately and
grand,
The beauty adoruiag the walls Of each room
Tells plainly that Love IS stil holding con-

Content,
With hearts that were fearless and hopeful
and true,
They met ali the dangers with chanyeless in

And so taught a lesson 70 me and to you.
