SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Over thirty thousand specimens of fos-
sill insects have been collected from va
rious parts of the world. OF these, but
terhies are among the very rarest, as less
than twenty specimens all told have been
found
Photographs are now printed by the
hundred by machinery. The roll OF SEN
sitized bromide paper is unwound in a
room illuminated by red light, fed under
two or more negatives to which it is au-
Dramatically pressed, and at the same time
exposed by the flashing of incandescent
electric lamps above the negatives, then
moved along the proper distance for a
fresh section to be exposed and finally
wound up on another roller The roll of
exposed film is next removed to another
room and automatically developed, NOV
ing from one roller to another through
the different developing baths, fixed,
alumed, washed and dried, the finished
pictures being wound on a final roll,
ready to be cut to size and mounted on
cards the usual way. Its capacity is

Experts report that it is impossible to
send Geographic dispatch through the
Hoosac Tunnel. 1t has been tried with
all kinds of wires and with ocean cables,
but in vain. Consequently the wires
have been carried over the surrounding
mountains. A careful exploration of the
tunnel has been made, but no magnetic
or other ore has been found to inter
ere with the transmission of message.
1t is announced that the great Bruce
Photographic telescope, the largest in the
world, will soon be shipped from the

the branch of the observatory in Are.
quipa, Peru The instrument is of great
power, and it is expected that many i'm
portant astronomical discoveries will be
made with it. The chief work which will
be done with it will be to make an accu-
rate and systematic photograph of the
whole heavens.

The latest triumph of Yankee inventive
genius is an India rubber fish-worm. 1t
is said to be remarkably good imita-

alluring to the fishes as the genuine arti-

Oh Ye Fools!

Tho this earth produces plenty,
And not one should lack for bread,
Is there, pray, one man in twenty,
From whose heart Hope hath not fled9
Do the sons cf men all flourish?
Are they housed, and clothed and fedi
Do the gods each wee one nourish?
Does no starveling wish him dead!
Free men do ye boast OF being?
Do you fancy you are braves?
Were your eyes but fit for seeing,
You would learn you are but slaves!
Cringe before your frowning master,
Willing and subservient tools,
Gold would bind you fast, and faster,
With your aiding, oh, ye fools.
Tho the weight of bondage crush you,
And We cry aloud with pain,
Little does it take to hush you,
And ye bend your necks again.
Do not claim that manhood fits you,
While you bow to Mammon's rule;
Only when disaster hits you
Can you rise above the fool!
Call reformers visionaries,
If with them you can't agree.
Tho your wisdom never varies,
IT'S fact none else can see.
Could experience but teach you,
In her hard, tho useful schools,
Heaven on this earth might reach you,
But, alas, ye are such fools!
