MONT BLANc's OBSERVATORY.

The highest permanent astronorni-
cal observat tory in the world-on the
summit of Mont Blanc-was at last
struments q. few days ago. There has
been temporary station there for
some years, but the instruments have
been small and of little power COM
pared with those now in place.
The establishment of this observa-
tory was task which ait the outset
seemed impossible, and the obstacles
which NJ. Jansen, who headed the
quartette of French astronomers had
to overcome was unparalleled. Mont
Blanc is nearly 5000 feet high, and
its ascent, even under the most favor
able conditions, during the summer
months, is difficult as well as danger
Gus. The transportation of many
heavy and delicate scientific instru-
ments to the top Of this Hottest noun
tain of the Alps was, therefore, a
labor so great as to seem beyond the
range of possibility, yet it was accom-
plished without the loss of a single
life. The telescope and the other in
struments had to be taken to pieces
before being carried up the precipitous
mountain sides; even them some of the
packages weighed a hundred pounds,
and the most of them about fifty.
One of the guides who assisted in
the work holds the record of having
made the ascent more than 500 times
since the beginning of his professional
career and it was he who found re-
Gently the bodies of the Austrian pro-
lessor and his two guides who lost
their lives not long ago.
In place of being entirely movable
about a pivot, like ordinary telescopes.
the telescope on Mont Blanc is fixed
and directed towards the polar star
A movable mirror placed near the
lower opening enables the observer to
study whatever star he wishes, its
image being thrown upon the glass.
This makes necessary a protective
cupola of comparatively small dimen-
sionS.
The particular advantage to astrono-
mers in having an observatory at such
high altitude as this one lies in the
transparency and purity of the atmos-
phere. The study of the stars, how
ever, will not be the sole task of the
observers, for Some of them will de-
vote themselves especially to meteor
ology as on the summit of Mont Blanc,
says Professor Jansen, they will be
in the very origin of atmospheric
phenomena

LONGEVITY OF ANTS.

Sir John Lubbock. the naturalist,
who has done more to popuilarize the
study of insect ways and habits than
all the other modern entomologists
combined has been experimenting to
find out how long the common ant
would live If kept out of harms way.
On Aug s, 1888, an ant which had
been thus kept and tenderly cared
for died at the age of fifteen years,
which is the greatest age any species
of insects has yet been known to at
tain. Another individual of the same
species of ant formica fusca) lived to
the advanced age of thirteen years,
and the queen of another kind Qasius
niger laid fertile eggs after she had
passed the age Of nine years.

ELECTRIC ORE SMELLING.

The advocates of electric smelling of
refractory ores claim that while in Cana
da, which contains almost the entire
supply of nickel known to the world. II
takes four months to produce a, nickel
matte of 21.25 per cent, ton of nickel
ore can be reduced in the electric fur
mace in about forty minutes The sub
sanitation of this claim would mean q
great deal for Canada. Some years ago
the United States government sent a
commission to that country to investi-
gate and ascertain the visible supply of
nickel ore. with a view to it's use for
naval armor. The commission reported
to the government that there were 60. 600
600 tons of that ore in sight in Canadian
territory. With an efficient electric
smelling system the abundant water
powers of the Canadian nickel district
could be used, and nickel. which is now
about IS cents a pound, could be reduced
it is estimated. to Is cents a pound
which would permit of it's being used in
many new ways. Coal, which is so diff
cult to obtain at many mining camps,
could be entirely dispensed with. When
picks, axes, drills, or any of the mining
tools required to be drawn to a. fine edge
or point, the heating could be done BY
the current and solution used in the
electric process.

MARkETING FOR OTHERS.
An Odd Way of Making Money by
Experienced Women.

One of the most novel and valuable
employments for women in some cities
is that Of professional marketer. There
can be no doubt that here is a genuine
opening for a woman who is thorough
ly capable of fulfilling the require
nlents of the position, for this work is
no Sinecure.
To become a successful marketer "a
woman ought to have a thorough
knowledge of markets and know when
various articles are in season and the
best qualities to buy for various pur-
poses.
She must know when it will do to
buy an inferior brand; and in short
she must have a scientific knowledge
of cooking as well as Of markets.
She must know when the season of
each article is at it's height and what
is in season at any particular time.
All large establishments keep stew
ards, who dc substantially this bust
ness for them, and it would be the ex-
ception when an outsider would be
employed. The greatest drawback TO
the work of a professional marketer
in families is the practice of keeping
running account at the most conve-
nient grocers' and butchers shops.
where the requisite supplies can be OBJ
ia lined.

WHAT Ais THE PEOPLE?
The True Cause of Most Physical

The True Cause of Most Physical
Troubles Made Perfectly Clear.
What are the principal ailments of
the American people?'
This question was recently put by
reporter TO DR.. Ephraim Cutler, whose
name stands foremost in the ranks of
the medical profession. His answer
was:
"Brights disease"
THE great increase of this fearful
malady is attracting universal atten-
ton. Everyone is anxious to know how
it is brought on. What causes it, doc
tor?'
The physician paused for few min
utes before replying, and then said: Il
can best explain that by a simple illus
tration. Anyone who eats beefsteak
knows what is fat and what is lean
Now, If the muscles of the steak IS par
TALLY changed to fat, it is called fatty
degeneration. In the same way, with
the human body, if the kidney sub
stance changes into tat, it is called
| Bright's disease Bright's disease is
fatty degeneration, and not one person
II twelve is free from some form of
ki0Eav or pver disease"
May 1 ask if there is any cure of
these complaints?" the reporter in
quired.
Yes" replied the doctor, there is, if
people will only take the right remedy
at the right time. AS a rule, it is only
when they break down, lose appetite,
find their compilations sallow, a con-
slant white coating on the tongue, and
inflamed eyes, that they suspect any
thing is wrong. American genius has
found it possible to arrest diseases OF
the liver and kidneys and to positively
cure Bright's disease. The discovery of
Warmers Safe Cure has been a God
send to the world. There are thousands
of men and women who are alive today
and are kept in health entirely through
it's use. This fact is now known and
admitted by physicians in every por-
ton of the globe
The words of the doctor are true and
they demand the serious consideration
of everyone who reads these lines
Bright's disease is, undoubtedly, the
most alarming of all our modern dis
eases 1t often comes without warn
ing, has few symptoms Of its own, but
shows the signs of almost all other COM
plants. Any man or woman who is at
all ''out of Sorts should not hesitate
for it is a well-known truth that ode
lays are dangerous"

Mrs. n. Buckner and Miss Eustis, of
New Orleans, friends of the family in
this city. The body was conveyed to
Cave Hill cemetery, where the inter

Among the many beautiful floral
tributes placed on the grave were sew

'MONGST THE CHEROKEES.
Much Excitement and Intense Feel
ing is Now Manifested.

KANSAS CITY. Nov. S.-A special to
the Journal from Vinita. l. r, says:
A message from Tahlequah states
that much excitement and intense feel
ing between political factions in the
Cherokee nation are prevailing, and
bloodshed will result unless compro-
missed. The conditions are similar to
that of eight years ago, when many
men were killed. The National party
is contesting the election of Sam
Myers, as chief on the Downing ticket,
and the Indians are collecting in the
capital armed to the teeth, determined
to aid their friends.

THE DUKE OF HEssE.

Like His Cousin, Emperor William,
He Likes to Crate.
The young Grand Duke of Hesse
who processes the most profound ad-
nliration for his cousin, Emperor Will
liam, and tries to initiate him in every
thing, has lately developed a craze for
public speaking, which is a source of
great concern to his relatives, especi-
ally those in England. Like the en-
peror, he seizes upon every Imaginable
Hretext to crate, and the speech which
he delivered the other day at the meet
ing of the veterans of the war of 1870
was worthy in every respect of the
kaiser.
Whereas the latter however, possess
ses a, considerable amount of clever
ness and even Ibrilliancy, no one would
ever. ascribe any such attribute to the
Grand Duke of Hesse who has never
had any taste for study knows very
little and is devoid of experience AS
usual with such people, he is excess
sivey obstinate, very arbitrary and
will not suffer the slightest opposition.
He resents advice and insists on al
ways following his own devices, which
as rule are not commendable
The only thing to be said in his
favor is that he is manly young fell
low, frank and straightforward, if
brusque and blunt; besides which he
possesses a great fund of Tboyishness,
being just as fond as Emperor William
of boisterous forms Of amusement
Fortunately, his young wife, a daugt-
ter of Duke Alfred, of Saxe-Coburg,
has developed into a very serious and
womanly kind of woman, who acts as
ballast to her impulsive and impetuous
husband, and has hitherto prevented
him from exasperating his subjects

OLD LOVE FOR THE FLAG.

At the Grand Army encampment in
Cleveland one night recently, General
Leggett related an incident which was
vouched for to him as authentic. 1t is
anybody else than the general, it would
hardly be believed. During the war a.
squad of confederate soldiers under COM
mand of a captain captured a Humber
of United States soldiers, and with them
an American flag. The confederate officer
was delighted with the capture of the
flag, and to show his contempt for it
dragged it behind him in the dust and
wall Jackson's camp with his prisoners
confederate soldier, seeing the Stars
and Stripes trailing in the dust, raised
his musket, took aim at the confederate
officer, and in language more forcible
than polite, tolG him to lift the flag out
of the dust or he would blow his brains
out
eye hs and 9iff lifted the ag out in Of the m d
but took the name of the private soldier
who had .'insulted,' him and reported the
asked what he had done to excite the
wrath of the private and the captain told
him that, he was dragging the Stars and
Stripes through the dirt.
HE did not shoot you?' said the gen
eral.
NO." said the officer, che did not shoot
me-"
The general made some remark which
indicated that he would not have dealt
harshly with the man had he done so,
and said to the officer: THAT soldier
was born under the Stars and Stripes,
and his father was, and he still retains
a respect and affection for it, and an
officer of our army who has no higher
appreciation of the sentiments of our
people than you appear to have is not
fit to be on my staff" and he dismissed
the officer
General Leggett remarked that this
showed that there was in the confederate
army q strong undercurrent of affection
for the old Stars and Stripes, and he
added that a prominent officer of the con-
federate army once made the remark that
the mistake the confederates made was
in adopting a new flag; that they ought
to have stuck to the Stars and Stripes,
and insisting that that was their flag
