Riordan, according TO the story told

FOR STAMP-COLLECTORS.

On August the United States gov
errment destroyed all the plates used
in printing postage stamps from 1847
to 1894, by melting them in the navy
yard furnace. Not only the regular
postage stamps, but also the depart
ment, due, and newspaper stamps were
included. The original dies and rolls
are still kept in Washington, but it
is very unlikely that any of the
stamps will be reprinted for many
years, if ever. The destruction of the
plates will tend to maintain and prob
ably to increase the values of all un-
used United States stamps issued be-
fore the current set.
The English postal laws allow the
tt ansmission through the mails of
live animals The Philatelic Chron-
icle of Birmingham states that work
irg-man took advantage of this regula-
ton, and rendered his three-year-old
child as an express parcel. The child
bore a tag with address, nine pence
was paid as postage, and in due course
the child was delivered to the address
given.-Harper's Round Table.

SCIENCE GLEANINGS.

Hypnotism is taking such an import
ant part in public affairs abroad lately
that it is rather startling. 1t has been
used in the place Of chloroform for
some time in surgical operations at
Paris, and when, in a recent murder
case, it was charged that the murderer
had hypnotised the victim and forced
her to kill herself, public opinion &C
cepted the possibility of the fact in a
way quite remarkable.
Prof. Angel of Michigan university,
furnishes the following as fair test
Of the purity of water for drinking:-
Dissolve about half a teaspOonful of
the purest white sugar in a pint bottle
completely full of water to be tested
and tightly corked;; expose it to day.

grees Fahrenheit. After a day or two

Something black, for whitish floating
specks, which will betray the presence
Of organic matter in considerable pro-
portion.
According to the Progressive Age, a
French electrician, M. G.. A. Tabourin,
has invented a novel and practical
method of lighting the streets which
will do away with Underground mains
and permit the rapid extension of
electric lights in the city of Paris with
out interfering with the gas companies.
In this most wonderful proposal each
gas lamp is to be furnished with a
small rotary gas-engine ten inches in
diameter, with a small dynamo and
these small installations are to supply
lamps on the top of the lamp-posts,
thus burning gas at the bottom and
producing electric light al the top of
each post. The inventor offers to run
at his own cost, for several days,
opposite the Theatre Francois one Of

poison, which in its turn protects the
body from fresh attack. An analogy
car be seen between this naturally pro-
duced immunity and that which is
pr esented by the treatment of diphth-
eria with the antitoxin OF the disease
One writer told his experience to the
effect that, being a bee keeper, he
had never suffered from stings after
he had once been severely stung by a
swarm. Probably his system had be-
come thoroughly inoeulated by the
big dose of poison he then received.
Of mosquito bites the same experience
has been related. But what will be of
interest to biologists is the recital of
yet another correspondent, that such
freedom from mosquito bites is not
invariably met with as a consequence
of frequent bites 1t is an illustration
of a law | have never been weary of
pointing out when unreasonable people
have argued that because a process of
treatment did not act invariably and
IL all cases the same way it was
therefore of no value at all The law
| refer to is that which teaches us
that when we are dealing with living
beings we cannot ex. yect to find math-
ematical certainty in our results. Life
is very different thing, in all its var
liability, from mathematical and exact
calculations.

AN AWFUL TRIP.
To the Gold Country via Edmonton
and FIT. Mcpherson.

w A. Foote and B. F. Huff left
Duluth for the Klondyke by the way
Of Edmonton and the Hudson Bay
company's route. A Hudson Bay COM
pany expedition will leave Edmonton
for Fort Mcpherson, and Messrs. Foote
and Huff will go with that party.
They will Join Charles Hall and Philip
Bellevue at Edmonton and the four
will make the journey from there to-
gether.
The distance from Edmonton to Fort
Mcpherson is 1882 miles, and all of
it, with the exception of a 40-mile por-
tage, can be made by water The Hud-
son Bay company has a steamer that
runs up the Athabasca river to Atha-
basca lake, through Slave river, Slave
lake, Great Slave lake and the Nc
Kenzie river to Fort Mcpherson. 1t
is expected that by leaving Edmonton
at once the party will be able to reach
the Klondyke between Oct. Is and Nov.
1. From the Mckenzie the party will
be compelled to cross the northern
Rocky mountain divide into the Yukon
country, an awful journey in the most
favorable season, which is July.
If on his arrival at Edmonton Mr..
Foote is convinced that the route is
feasible, and that he will be able to
get through as now seems probable,
he will purchase his stock of goods
there, where they can be bought as
cheap, il not cheaper, than in Duluth,
and continue his trip to the land Of
gold
