Effects of Cave Air.

The remarkable physiological effects
of cave air are well known. A traveller
who visited the Mammoth cave in Ken
lucky says that on emerging the sense
Of smell was intensified to such an ex-
traordinary degree that most common
objects such as trees, plants, animals
and even people had strong individual
odors, mostly unpleasant. One tree
could be easily distinguished from an
other by its characteristic odor. The
effect lasted about half an hour and
then passed off. The guides say that
this is a usual experience. Other
writer's have noticed a similar effect
from the sudden change from the pc
culiar oxygenated air of the cave to
that of the outside world. The sense
of smell is greatly intensified In almost
every case. This intensification of oil
factory perceptions is explained by the
rarity of olfactory stimuli in the cave.
On emergence, in accordance with a
physiological law, the perceptive pow
ers for these particular stimuli having
rested, are intensified, SO that odors
too delicate to make an impression I'M

opinion, save that do not see any rea-
son whatever to think that such a body
should exist. But we may feel practic-
ally certain, according to all rational
grounds of proba ability, that even if
there were a central sun in the universe
it would not lie within our ken. Sup
pose that in the wide extent of
the Atlantic ocean there was one indi-
vidual diatom of a specially interesting
character; | do not mean one species
with its myriad individuals, but one
solitary specimen of particular micro
scopic organism, which happened to
flourish somewhere or other in the
north or south Atlantic ocean at some
depth or other from the surface
Suppose that absolutely nothing fur
Their was known as to the whereabouts
of this individual object, it might, for
ANYTHING we could tell, lie beneath a
mighty ice foe in the Arctic regions; it
might be miles deep in the Caribbean
sea: it might be basking on the surface
in the equa torial regions; it might be
tossed in the surf on the shores of st.
Helena; it might be floating at the
mouth of the Amazons; it might be OFF
the Cape of Good Hope, or amid the
Antartic icebergs.
Would any reasonable man who de-
sired to obtain that unique and extra
ordinary specimen for his collection
imagine that if he went down to the
coast of Cornwall and lifted single
drop from the Atlantic he would have
such inconceivable good fortune as to
find in it this rare diatom of which but
a single individual existed throughout
the millions of cubic miles of water
which compose that mighty ocean? OF
course the mere statement of such a
case is sufficient to show its absurdity.
But the improba bility that the ardent
naturalist would secure the prize in the
way have described is not one whit
greater than the improba bility that,
even if there were central sun, it
should lie within the domain of our
scrutiny.-Sir Robert Ball, in Fort

TABLE-cuTLERY.
Some Things to Be Considered In the Care
of It.

Some Things to Be Considered In the Care
OF 1t.
Table-cutlery, as the designation was
formerly understood, included all the
knives and forks, nut-picls. etc. To
day, among well-todo people, all the
forks, except that which belongs to the
carving-set, are either sterling silver or
silver-plated 1t is astonishing how
the table appliances have multiplied in
this luxurious age. For the fish course
there are sterling-silver knives and
forks of special shapes, and broad
silver knife and fork for serving the
fish Oyster-forks of another shape are
considered Indispensable when raw
oysters are served. Knives and forks
of medium size are used for entrees.
the forks being silver and the knives
having silver, silver-plated or steel
blades. For the meat course the
forks are silver and the blades of the
knives steel The dessert knives and
forks are silver-plated; the butter
knives that are placed by the little
bread-and butter plates are silver. So
1t will be seen that the cutlery of to-
day does not mean for fine tables what
1t did formerly. II will be necessary to
consider the combinations of materials
that enter into the makeup of the cut
lery of to-day before the care of it can
be treated intelligently. Common
knives and forks are made with fiat
tangs, to which pieces Of wood or
bone are joined for the handle. In fine
knives the tang is made round and is
pressed into round groove made in
the handle. Sometimes this is fastened
with rivet, sometimes with spring,
and again with some cement. Ladies'

many is perspective map, thirty-three

tenn at six O'Clock on the morning of Co.

With regard to the arrangement of the
exhibits in the cases. and the swinging
frames, considerable care has been exer-
cised to carry out the fundamental ideas
of grouping and contrast. One corner
has, therefore been given up to those
features which have especially to do with
motive power, another is devoted TO en-
gineering and maintenance of way,
third relates particularly to the relief de-
partment of the company, and in the re-
naming quarter of the spacious room are
general relics.
A feature OF much interest to the WISH
tor is the Bureau of Information, which
will be maintained in the building. Ex-
perienced employees will be placed in
charge, who will not only answer ques-
tons concerning the exhibits, but will
give information relative to train sched-
ules in current use, and other matters of
interest to the traveller.
Complete as this exhibit of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company would seem,
it is lacking in one or two essentials; but
this lack is made up, the visitor Will find,
when the General Transportation Build
ing comes in for inspection. There the
company has deemed best to exhibit its
finished products of 1892, In the shape OF

and accordingly shows three specimens OF
most excellent workmansnip-a standard
passenger coach, standard refrigerator
car. in which dairy products are trans

and a track indicator car, which shows
graphically the condition of the track,
such as is used annually by the company's
officers in making a tour of the lines
prior to awarding prizes for the best
pieces of road-bed, etc. Altogether the
exhibit reflects abundant credit upon the
company in general, and in particular up-
on Theodore N. Ely. Chief of Motive

and J. Elfreth Watkins, who, with years
of service as civil engineer in the en-

FLAVOR OF EGGS.
1t Depends Largely ON the Food Given to
the Hens.

1t Depends Largely on the Food Given to
the Hens.
The flavor of eggs depends very much
on the kind of food given to the poultry.
When hens are fed largely or almost
exclusively on milk, the yolk is lighter
in color, the white has milky look,
and the whole egg is watery and less
firm in texture than those laid by grain
fed hens. The taste of the egg Is also
affected, being insipid and unsatisfac-
tory when boiled or poached, and less
fine for ordinary cooking purposes
even. There is no use in saying that
the idea of the quality of eggs being
influenced by the food of the hens is a
mere within; since it is a well-known
fact that the eggs of fowls kept in the
neighborhood of the sea and fed almost
entirely on fsh-taken as they come,
embracing the strong and oily as well
as the more delicate sorts-have ''aD
ancient and fish-like" taste, if not
s'smell," and eggs coming from those
regions sell for less in the market, in
some instances, than those coming from
districts farther inland.
The reason why hens fed on ''slops"
of milk, etc, are able to give no better
eggs to their owners is because the
"old, old story" is repeated in their

Sebasteum, whose site stone mason's
yard and Ramleth station probably

with the notorious queen is now quite
exploded. No one who has stood be-
side that still mercifully left at On can
but feel anger and regret that they
should have been removed to lands
where no surrounding is in keeping,
and where their rapid destruction is
certain; that remaining where those

Those at Alexandria had been re-

would have been far more scientific
and shown far better taste to have sent
them back for future ages to value

have taken them to lands where they

THE UNCOMFORTABLE PROBLEM
Faneies and Coniectures Concerning Linn
itless Space.


The volume occupied by this stipend
GUS globe Iof ours which includes with
in it all possible visible material, must
be but speck when compared with the
space which contains it. Think of the
water in the Atlantic ocean, and think
of the water in single drop As the
drop is to the Atlantic ocean so is the
sphere we have been trying to conceive
in the boundless extent of space. As
far as we know, it would seem that
there could be quite as many of such
sph eres in space as there are drops of
water in the Atlantic Ocean. And, in
all probability, these other spheres
throughout space are tenanted by stars,
systems and galaxies just as grand in
themselves, just as imposing in their
collocations, and just as overwhelming
in their myriads as are those which lie
within that one particular sphere which
alone we know anything with GER
tainty.
Provided with this conception, we
see ut once that the doctrine OF Wis
ible central sun is an absurdity. As to
whether there may be some central sun
somewhere or other can EXPRESS no
