THE DEMON OF cHoke.DAMP.

Men Used to believe That the Gas In
Mines Was . Living Devil.
Thanks to men Hike Valentine, the
idea of the interference of Satan and
his minions with the mining industry
was gradually weakened, and the work
ing of the deserted mines was resumed,
writes DIR. Andrew D. White, in Popu-
lar Science Monthly; yet even At .
comparatively recent period. we find it
still lingering, and among leading di-
vines in the very heart uf Protestant
Germany. In IT'S cellar-digger hav-
ing been stified at jena, the medical
faculty of the university decided that
the cause was not the direct action Of
the devil, but deadly gas. Thereupon
Prof. Loescher, of the university of
Wittenbcrg, entered solemn protest.
declaring that the decision of the med
ical faculty was ''only a proof of the
lamentable license which has SO taken
possession of us, and which, if we arc
not earnestly on our guard, will finally
turn away from us the blessings of
God" But denunciations of this kind
could not hold back the little army of
science. In the last half of the cigh-
tcenth century Black, Priestly, and es-
pecially Bergmann, rooted out the very
foundations of the whole thcologic the
DRY. and one m ore phantom which had
long troubled the earth was at last

An Old statute Asairst Profanity Put In
Force an England.
Some time ago the suggestion was
made in one of the London newspapers
that a society should be formed 10 sup
press the growing evil and scandal Of
street profanity. II was generally adj
mitted that English towns were dis
gracefully preemincnt in the matter of
cursing and swearing in public places
and that English street loafers pos
sessed probably the foulest mouths in
all christendcn- The proposal earae 10

which was that il would be as unpopu-
lar and dangerous To interfere with the
English worhmcn's privilege To curse
whenever he felt that way inclined as
20 meddle with his right to get drunk.
Ii has been tardily discovered that the
statute book actually contains an act
passed in the reign of George ii. 'for
the suppression of profanity" and the
law was put in force the other day at
Wehbech. The act is delightfully."- com
prehensive, the only defect being the
absence of schedule of oaths and an
appraisement of their comparative
wickedness. Penalties are imposed &C.

er and under the degree of gen
tleman, and FIVE shillings wher
spoken by anyone above the de-
gree of gentleman. The punishment,
is applicable whether the offense bt
committed in the public street or in 6
mans own house. which seems some
what restrictive of the liberty of the
subject and opens possibilities of do
nestle complications. The Wehbecf
case, however, was perfectly simple
The prisoner uttered four wicked word,

One of the recent medical applica-
tons of electricity is in the treatment
of deafness The apparatus for this
purpose comprises battery, belt, an
electrode supporter on the belt, and
shaped to rest on the ear, and connec-
tons between the electrode and bat
terry. This provides convenient and
Efficient mode of receiving the current,
which can be applied in finely graduated
strength. Superintendent johnson, of
the deaf and dumb institute at Indian
spolis, is reported as having found in a
series of experiments that the phono-
graph concentrates the sound at the
drum of the ear in such way that
many of the pupils, otherwise deaf. arc
thus enabled to hear. Out of fifty-six
boys and girls, says the New York
Telegram, only three girls were unable
TO hear anything at all, while forty
could hear music and twcnty-six could
distinguish spoken words.

DISTRESS IN ENGLAND.
The Army Getting Rapidly Filled with
Men Out OF Work.

The Army Getting Rapidly Filled with
Men Out OF W. rk.
Nine-tenths OF those who enlist in
the British army are driven to do SO by
extreme want. 1t is the last resource
against starvation or the workhouse,
and they take the oath to defend her
most gracious majesty and Illustrate her
enemies as the only means of securing
food and shelter. The magnitude of the
present distress in Great Britain may
therefore be realized when the off,
cial returns show that recruiting for
the army has not for many years past
been so brisk as at the present moment;
that all the cavalry regiments are over
their strength, and that the line regi-
ments are fast filling up. The supply
is SO great, indeed, that doctors and Off
GERS are steadily rejecting the weakly
lads they were glad enough to secure a
few months ago and are picking out
just the sturdiest of the applicants. The
residuum sink back to the slums and
join that other great army, the uncm-
ployed.
The harvest of England's Christmas
charity has failed to adequately relieve
the multitude of destitute during the
late bitter frost. Painful stories
of patient suffering under the
most distressing conditions are daily
made known, and more than one cor
oner's jury has of late returned YER
dict of death from restitution.

Navigating the Polar Ocean NO Longer .

The experience that has been brought
down from the various Arctic expedi-

different whalers which every year
traverse much of the northern icy seas.
has infused an element of certainty into
Arctic navigation which could hardly
have been realized by the heroes of a
period twenty-five or thirty years ago,
SAYS DR.. Angelo Hciiprin in an article
on Tho Perry Relief Expedition" IN
Scribner. The capture of the Melville
bay pack of McChntock's Fox in the
latter part Of August, 1887. could scarce
ly be psralleled to-day. except as the
outcome Of ignorance or disregard Of
everyday knowledge. In an average
season Melville bay can be traversed
about as readily ss almost any large
