health and vigor to the entire system and

from all danger and from most of its
pain; gives recuperative energy to the
mother and insures a healthy supply of
nourishment for the child.
Any special weakness or disease of the

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Railroad builders say the building
this year will be mainly for the pur-
pose of developing lumber tracts, coal
mines and other freight-maling dis
| tricts.
-Laborers are fiocking to Liberia to
work on the great Liberian railway.
This is the route that will play havoc
with the eastern question, destroy the
usefulness of Constantinople as the key
to Europe and enable Americans to go
to the japan sea in II days.
"A very low temperature, 400 de-
grees below zero, has been shown TO
have a remarkable effect upon the color
of many bodies. The brilliant scarlet
of vermillion and mercuric iodide is
reduced, under its influence, to pale
orange, the original color returning
with the rise of the temperature. Blues
are unaffected by cold, and the effect is
comparatively small upon organic col
oring matters of all tints.
The movement for the industrial
education of the southern negroes is
about to be advanced by the building
of a cotton mill at Concord. N. c., for
the special employment and instruction
of negroes in this line of work. 1t is
being built by W. C. Coleman, a wealthy
colored man, and will be the first cot
ton mill in the country to employ col
ored operatives, although there is a
spinning mill at Columbia, S. c., where
they are employed.
In so dry a region as central Austria
liza frogs are found in fair numbers,
creeks and claypans "swarming" with
them. AS the waters dry up the frogs
disappear in their burrows, remaining
till the rains come again. Certain spe-
cies of Them" says Spencer, george
themselves with water before they go
into their retreats, and in times of
drought the natives dig them out and
obtain enough water from their bodies
to satisfy their thirst.
1t appears that as the earth be-
comes overpopulated all men must be-
come Yegetarians. A recent estimate
shows that % acres of land are neces-
sary to sustain one man on fresh meat,
while the same area, if devoted to wheat
culture, would feed AZ people; if to
oats, IS; potatoes, Indian corn and rice,
176, and if to plantain or breadfruit,
over 5000 people. Ere the dire prophecy
of Nautilus is fulfilled, however, we may
reasonably expect the chemist to pro-
vide artificial food for the multitude.
AS to the age of the Niagara falls,
biologists differ widely in opinion. At
first it was estimated that the Niagara
river came into existence through
changes in the level of the land around
the great lakes, about $4,000 years ago.
Later this was reduced to only 1900
years. The celebrated geologist, Sir
Charles Lyell, increased the estimate
again to $4,000 years; but more recent
~ others have lowered it to about 5000
years. The latest estimate is that Of
DR.. J. w. Spencer, who, basing his con-
illusions on the most recent investiga-
tons, places the age of the river at 32,-
900 years and that of the cataract at 81, :
900 years. At one period, many thou
sand years ago, the height of the falls
WAS 400 feet

BOSToN'S NEGLECT OF POE.
No Fitting Recognition OF His Fame in
in the Whole Country.

No Fitting Recognition OF His Fame in
in the Whole Country.
l have mentioned the circumstance
that it has never occurred to the town of
Boston to erect a monument to Poe,
who, next 10 Franklin, probably has the
most worldwide fame of all the men of
letters native to that town, and Poe was
connected with Boston not alone by the
important accident of his birth, but
by the commencement there of his lit
erary career, itself an event worth COM
memorating. So far as I am aware,
Boston never awarded to Poe the honor
which, in the case of her dead literary
men of eminence, she sometimes deems
worthy to be taken in lieu of any fur
Their monumental attention, napely,
the calling of public meeting by the
mayor, at which addresses are made and
complimentary resolutions adopted.
The name Of Poe is, indeed, carved on
the outer walls of tho public library
at Boston; so are several hundred other
names. Their purpose is chiefly deco
Tative.
However, Boston's neglect in respect
of Poe was but the neglect of all the
rest of the country. His kindred left
his grave at Baltimore unmarked and
a fund of about 1000 had to be raised
by public subscription to place above
his ashes the unbeautiful mortuary
monument which now bears his name.
II an enterprising commercial person
had not hired the cottage in which Poe
lived at Fordham, just out of New York,
and put up above its door the large
sign "Poe's Laundry" surrounding it
with the figure of a raven, thereby
arousing the wrath of many people, in.
GLIDING the owner of the cottage, and
shaming them into a protest, it is prob
able that the poets fame would still
be quite destitute of any public memo

MADE A MANIAC BY FRIGHT.-A dis
patch from Gilberton, Pa, says: "Peter
Softka was the victim Saturday night
Of most thrilling experience, which
he is not expected to survive. Peter
was employed in the Draper mines
saturday evening he was sent i'll
breast TO do some work. The starter bad
placed stick of dualin under body OF
coal in battery, TO cause an explosion
On his way TO work Sofitka failed to
hear the cry of warning for his bentti
before firing the blast. When he was
close TO the charge the explosion oc
Cured, but none of the flying debris
struck him. Then followed remarka
BILE and unusual circumstance. Softka
stood as though paralyzed from fright
His eyes and mouth were wide upon
and figure rigid. He would neither
move nor speak. A few moments later
blood gushed from bis nose and mouth,
collapse followed and he dropped to the
ground. Several of the unfortunate
mans companions tried to get him to
his feet, and while thus engaged Soitka
became a raving maniac and fought
with the ferocity of s. wild beast, six
men being unable to hold him. After
considerable difficulty Sofitka was
bound hand and foot and conveyed to
his home. A physician stated that the
rupture of blood vessel in the head had
caused the trouble. He is in critical
condition.

SILVER NEAR ROANOKE.

Considerable excitement has been
caused by the reported discovery of a
cave on Tinker mountain very rich in
silver, and which, if true, promises TO
draw the attention of the people of the
entire country to that sec ion. 1t seems
that 10 the tarly history of that locality
an old man lived on Tinker mountain,
about four miles north of Roanoke who
meDded iron and tnware, and who
went by the name of thinker" From
him the mountain aud the creek near
Roanoke, which empties into the
Roanoke river, took their names. Ac-
c1rding to the legend, he was always
known to have plenty of silver, and
it was common report that he had dis
covered cave on the side of the noun
tain, whose location he would not re-
veal, and from which he drew his stock
of the precious metal as occasion re-
quired. About two years ago, it is fur
found keg ofsilver coins on the noun
tain under ledge of rock near where
the cave was supposed to be located.
He afterwards had the land in that To-
cality layed of and surveyed, and it il
aid he paid for the work with
money obtained from the keg.
Sam Burger was county surveyor
at the time, and this survey is said to
have been ordered by Patterson and a
man named Jerre Starr. Lately it has
been reported that James Riley, resi-
dent of that locality, hard working
farmer, has found the entrance to this
cave. 1t is said to be under ledge on
the side of the mountain, and it is SAID
that rock has been cut to exactly ii
the opening Riley, so the rumor goes,
removed the rock and explored the
cave, finding in it solid column OF
silver ore inches square, which is sup
posed to have been thrown up in the
general upheaval in that section, and
then ran down between the crevices OF
the rocks. The column shows that
silver ore has been taken from it in days
gone by, and some Of the ore in Riley's
possession is said to have as. aged 90
per cent. of pure silver. Riley has
SHOWN the cave to only one man, whom,
it is said, he took with him to corrobo
rate the truth of his story. What his
plans are no one seems TO know, but
that remarkable discovery of silver
ore has recently been made in that To-
cality seems to be borne out in the ru-
mors which have been in circulation
there for two weeks or more, in regard
10 The matter.
