Struck by MeteOrs.

Somebody has said it is rather cur
ious that in view of the number of
meteorites that fall to the earth every
year no one has ever been killed or
hurt by one. This Is mistake. In
the year GIG meteoric stone fell in
China, shattering cart aud killing
ten men. 1t may be asserted that the
population of the Mougolinu empire is
80 dense that it would be difficult to
miss Chinese. But other countries
have known similar accidents. About
the close of the seventeenth century a
Captain Willmann reported that two
of his sailors were killed at sea by the
fall of niue-wound meteorite.
Not long after this a monk was killed
near Milan in the same way, while "A
meteor which fell near New Concord
in 1860 broke a railroad tie in two.

The most expensive book that was
syor published in the world is the Off,
,ial history OF the Civil War, which is
now issued by the Government of the
United States at a cost up to date of
b2,334. .S28. OF this amount $1,1S4,-
291 has been paid for printing and
binding. The remainder was ex-
pended for salaries. rent, stationery,
and other contingent and miscellane-
ous expenses, and for the purchase of
records from private individuals. 1t
will require at least three years longer
md an appropriation of perhaps $780,,
300 to complete the work, so that the
.otal cost will undoubtedly reach
100000. 1t will consist of 112
volumes, including an index and an
ltlas, which contains ITS plates and
maps, illustrating the important bat
lies of the war, campaigns, routes of
march, plans OF forts and photographs
Of interesting scenes, places, and per-
sons. Most Of these pictures are taken
from photographs made by the late NJ.
B. Brady of Washington. Several
years ago the Government purchased
his stock of negatives. Each volume
will, therefore, cost an average OF
about S26, 1855, which probably exceeds
the cost of any book of the kind that
was ever issued. Copies are sent free
10 public libraries, and l BAT, 900 have
been so distributed. The atlas cost
300. The remainder of the edition is
sold al prices ranging from fifty cents
10 ninety cents per volume. But there
loes not seem to be large popular
demand, for only I,l9l copies have
been sold, for total OF $50, 154. The
books eau be obtained by addressing
the Secretary of War. The material
used in the preparation OF these his
tories is taken from both the Federal
and Confederate archives, and is
purely Official. The reports Of COM
manders of armies, corps, bIigades.
regiments, etc, are carefully edited
and arranged so as TO give a consecu-
tive accounts OF all engage ments, with
as little duplication AMI unnecessary
material as possible.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

No bird can fly backward without
turning. The dragon fly can accom-
plish this feat, however, and outstrip
any swallow.
Within the last fifty years the rate
of speed of ocean steamers has trebled
and the usual horse power increased
from 700 to 10000.
The difficulty of registering the tenn
perature of the bottom of the ocean is
due to the fact that at great depth
the thermometers are crushed by the
pressure.
In new French method thin nickel
tubes are made by depositing nickel
electrolytically on matrix of fusible
metal, then melting out the latter by
immersion in bath of boili ng oil.
It has been recently established
that the fusel, ETC., in raw spirits can
be removed by the introduction of a
current of pure oxygen. The flavor
of the spirit is not only improved, but
its physiological action is much amelio-
rated.
A new bottle is blown with solid
neck, the opening bein g in the bottom
of the bottle, through which it can be
filled, but from which no liquid can be
drawn, it being necessary to break the
neck to remove the contents of the
bottle.
The nearest approach of Mars to the
sun is l29, 800, 900 miles; his mean
distance, 14I, 800, 900; his ereatest
distance, 154, 100000. Our mean
distance from the sun is about nipety-
three million miles. The nearest ap.
proach of the two planets to each
other is 35, 500, 600 miles.
The electric furnace is now being
used at Oharlottenburg, Germany,
for the production of ammonia and
nitrides. The nitride result from
exposing oxygen compounds Of such
elements as silicon, boron, magnesium,
titanium and vanadium to the heat of
a high tension current, in the presence
of free nitrogen aud carbon. Treat.
ment of the nitrides with steam gives
ammonia and an oxide from which
nitride may be reformed as before.
The Walrand Legenisel steel process.
which has been adapted by quite a
number of European firms and by one
American establishment, is said to
differ from the ordinary Bessemer
process in the addition of ferro silicon
to the metal in the converter at the
time of flame drop, and by an after
blow burning the silicon to solid
Stag instead of carbon to a gas. As
the melted metal is usually fluid, it is
especially suitable for steel castings,
which are made solid and true to
pattern.

HELP THAT COMES roo LATE.

Tls wearisome world, this world OF ours,
with its tangles small and great,
It's weeds that smother the spring flowers,
Aud it's hapless strifes with fate;
And the darkest day Of its desolate days
Soes the helpthat comes too late
AM voc for the word that Is never said
TIL the car is too deaf to hear,
And woe for the lack OF the fainting head
OF the ringing shout OF cheer;
Ahl WOO for the layg Ird feet that tread
In the mourntul wake Of the bier.
What booteth help when the heart is rdmb?
What booteth broken spar
OF love thrown out when the lips are dumb
And life's bark drifteth far,
Oh! far and fast from the alien past.
Over the moaning bar?
pltiful thing the gift to-day
That is dross and nothing worth.
Though II It had como but yesterday.
1t had brlmmed with sweet the earth
finding rose in delth-cold hand,
That perlshed in want and dearth.
Who fain would help In this world Of ours,
Whore sorrowful steps must fall2
Bring help in time to the waning powers
Ere the bier is spread with the pail,
Nor seud reserves when the flags are furlod.
And the dead beyond your call.
For banning most In this weary world,
With its tangles small and great,
Its lonesome night and its weary days,
And its struggles forlorn with fate,
Is that bitterest grief, too deep for tears.
Oh the help that comes too late.
