Andoyer,s Indian Ridge Is Safe.

Not Andover alone, but the country
Mt large-yes, and students of geology
the world over-are to be congratulated
ON the saving of Indian ridge, its rock
and its trees, from an invasion with
spade and ak, says the Boston Tran
script. 1t was the sentiment Of woman-
kind that brought this to pass, and the
names Of the four women Of Andover
who have so earnestly, energetically and
systematically worked for this end for
so long a time are Alice Buck, Salome
]. Marland, Susan NJ. Blake and Emma
]. Lincoln. The owners of the ridge,
five heirs to an estate, proved them
selves to be equally public spirited by
their united action in reducing their
urice set upon the tract from $4,000 to
SO, 500.
Indian ridge will henceforth remain
as a beautiful park for the town, as an
inspiration for its people and for every
visitor to its great pine woods, as a liy-
ing chapter in the geological history OF
the continent. for nowhere in the land
can the phenomena caused by the an
cient ice drift be so conveniently studied
as here. and these 20 acres just pur-
chased, together with an adjoining tract
of nine acres previously owned by the
town. will stand for what can be ac-
complished in this country with o self
sustaining communal woodland.

The Weight Of Brains.

Some interesting facts bearing on the
size and weight Of the brain were given
recently by Sir William Turner In the
case of Europeans the average BRAIN
weight is from 40 ounces to 90 ounces
in man and from ii ounces to 40 ounces
in woman. 1t is interesting 90 note that
even in newborn children the boys have
bigger heads and heavier brains than
the girls. Tie brains Of number OF
men Of ability and intellectual dlst'nc-
ton have been weighed aud nscertained
TO be from - ounces TO 90 ounces. IN "a
few exceptional cases, Us in the brains
Of Cuyier and Dr. AleIcrombie' the
weight has Leen more than 80 ounces
but it should also be stated that brains
weighing 60 ounces and upward have
occasionally been Obtained from persons
who had shown no sign Of intellectual
eminence. On the other hand it has
been pointed cut that if the brain falls
below certain weight it cannot prop
eriy discharge its functions. This mini
maD weight fer civilized people ex-
peyts have placed pit 81 ounces for men
and 81 for women, PUBLIC Opinion.

surprising Facts about Alcohol.

Scientific investigators in Germany
and Russia recently have been conduct
ing an inquiry respecting alcohol IN It's
relation to dietetics. They have obtained
data which seem to point to the very
surprising conclusion that alcohol Is
actually food, Notwithstanding the
belief which has long existed to the
contrary. Both men and women were
employed in these experiments, doses Of
alcohol llciont to induce slight intox-
ication Long given to them
1t is found that alcohol takes the
place of fat as fuel, furnishing heat
for the body. In small quantities it in
creases the appetite and helps digestion.
But il overstimulates the action Of the
heart and decreases the power Of the
man to do work. 1t diminishes the re-
ouirement Of food by lessening the
waste Of tissue. These experiments were
tried with brandy, claret, koumiss and
kephir. The last is a fermented beyer'
age from cows milk prepared with a
peculiar ferment called kephir yeast

A new method Of decorating surfaces
with color has been devised by NJ.
Charles Henry, which promises to have
an extended development. Every one
knows that if a drop Of oil or of spirit
of turpentine is allowed to fall on wa
ter it will spread over the surface Of the
water, showing iridescent colors as the
pellicle extends and becomes thin
enough to cause interferences in the light
reflected from the upper and lower sur
faces. Sometimes these iridescent col
ors are very brilliant, particularly with
turpentine or essential oils, but they
disappear, of course, with the eyapora'
ton of the volatile substance. NJ. Hen
rvs invention consists in adding to the
volatile spirit some substance which as
the spirit evaporates will remain fixed
at the same time that it retains the
properties Of the spirit pellicle. For
this purpose he employs bitumen or
resins of certain kinds, dissolying them
in turpentine and allowing a drop OF
the solution TO ldll Ou Nnt natSAs -H~
solution spreads, as turpentine alone
would do, but as the turpentine evapo-
rates a thin permanent film Of rosin Is
left, which exhibits the iridescent col
ors of the original liquid. This perma-
nent film is then taken up on paper to
which it gives beautiful iridescence.
Either black or white paper may be EN-
ployed, the former giving greater bril-
liancy and the latter greater soitness'
While the liquid solution Is spreading
over the paper the colors may DO arti'
ficially modified by blowing on the film
or By whistliLg near it or III other
WAYS. and these variations will be per-
petuated in the finished work. 1t Will
occur to the scientific man that there
might be possibility of producing such
variations by the action Of colored light,
as is done by the Lippmann process on
film of bromide Of silver and gelatin,
and experiments are likely to take that
direction. -American Architect

A curate in south London confides 10
rs a terrible dilemma in which be has
leen placed and asks whether it Is fair
that such burdens should be thrown on
men like nina master Of arts and
bachelor of divinity. His case stands
thus: Two days ago The reverend gem
tleman received letter informing him
that the vicar and his wife had been
suddenly called away from home, and
would be take charge Of the services on
Sunday? There was postscript from
the wears wife telling him 10 please
call in at the yicarage at least twice
every day just to zee that poor, dear
Fido" - her pet poodle - was being
properly looked after by the maid of all
work, the other servant having to ac-
company her master and mistress. The
ourate plaintively says that, although
it is un Christian to hate anything, he
must confess to entertaining as much of
that feeling toward dogs as is compati-
bic with his sacred calling. He is afraid
that he may do something to the animal
which may cause it to snarl at him the
next time he takes tea with the vicar
and his wife, and if the lady takes it
into her head that the pet has not been
duly fondlod in her absence he may
soon be out of situation. 1t is indeed
a sad case. Some time ago the world
rang with Indignation over the story Of
a curate who felt constrained to resign
his place because the rector's wife asked
him to buy her some butter, but the
new case seems even worse. Cannot the
Curates' Protection society do some
thing in the matter?--London Telo-

O'BEIRNE AND BELL.
Meeting After Many Years of the Colonel
and the Major.

A tall. handsome gentlenan, with
mustache and hair tinged with gray,
walked through the lobby Of the Ebbitt
and stopped in front Of the newsstand.
He was about to pick up a newspaper
when little old man, with gray, shay
gy burnsides, got up from his seat in
one corner of the lobby and walked over
TO him.
"Isn't this General James r.
O'Beirne?" the little man asked.
Il am General O'Beirne, sir, T." was
his reply, land who are you, may l
ask?''
"Do you remember Major Bell Of
New York;"
"Do remember him? Well, / have
cause to remember him. He saved my
life once"
"Well, 1 im that person." said the
little man.
Tears came into the eyes of both as
they grasped each other hands and ad-
iourned to convenient seat to talk over
old times.
At the battle of Charlottesville
o 'Beirne, who was then colonel Of tho
Thirty seventh New York regiment,
was shot through the breast by a bullet.
1t made q hole clear through one lung.
Bell, who had been in the same regi-
ment. called to his assistance one Of his
comrades, and they carried him off the
field Of battle.
O'Beirne was sent to his home in
New York, and it was supposed that he
could not live long. But under good
nursing he recovered and Weng back
into the Union service again. At the
time of President Lincoln second in
auguration he was provost marshal in
the District Of Columbia
During the ceremonies on the east
side Of the capitol Bell, who was in
Washington on a leave of absence, de-
tected pickpocket pursuing bis WORK
in tbs crowd. tie called thu attention
Of policeman to the man. The police
man arrested the pickpooket and took
Bell along for witness,
The hearing was delayed for several
days, and IN the meantime Bells leave
of absence expired. When he presented
the outlawed ticket at the steamer
wharf, no was placed under arrest fog
having disobeyed the order. Bell tried
to explain, but the rules were fixed and
relentless.
The case was brought TO the attention
Of General O'Beirne as provost marshal,
and as soon as he saw tho name ho had
Bell brought before him.
General, | wish you would let me
90, as | am anxious TO join my regi'
ment," said Bell.
lyon will be dealt with as man
should be who has dared to disobey the
injunction Of his commander, o Beime
replied sternly.
lie then issued a new order extending
Bell leave Of absence two weeks and
accompanied il with command that be
appear at his home in this city. Bell
visited the man whose life he had saved,
spent a week, and later joined his regi-
ment. w Washington Star.
