SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

We cannot see the sun itself; we see
only the cloud of vapor that covers 1t,
like the mantle of Welsbach burner.
Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington,
has recently improved the performance
of the microscope, and it is now posi-
BILE for the human eye to see an object
magnifed 100000 times. Heretofore
10000 has been the limit.
The sun consists of three parts, the
central portion, or nucleus, which is
gaseous, but rendered viscous under the
enormous pressure and high temper
allure, the philosophers of incandescent
metallic vapors, and the corona, which
is only observable during the time of
total eclipse.
OF the 100000 square miles of Can
ada there are between 100000 and
100000 of square miles which will
produce neither cereals nor forests of
commercial value. OF this territory
there is tract of 100000 square miles
inhabited by fur-bearing animals, and
known to the Indians as the bare and
treeless plains, or the barren lands.
The working OF plan OF ventilation
of rooms devised by DR.. Castaing, prin-
cipal physician of the French armies,
is highly commended. Itconsists in the
use of double windows, with openings
at the bottom of one and at the top of
the opposite one, through which the
air comes in freely without anyone feel
ing it. The system is said to possess
simplicity, efficiency and cheapness.
According to the recent calculations
of Prof. j. c. Kapteyn, of Amsterdam,
100000 miles day is the velocity with
which the sun and it's planets are speed
ing through space in northerly direc-
ton. The brightest star in that part
of the heavens toward which we are go
ing is the brilliant Vega, in the constel-
lation Lyra, a sun unquestionably much
greater than ours. Every year, by Prof.
Kapetyn's estimate, we draw some 30o,-
100000 miles nearer to that star.

Beatty's Organs ana Pianos.

Hon. Daniel E. Beatty,of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufactures, is building ana shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a penniless
pIow-boy, and by his indomitable will
he has worked his way up SO rs to sell SO
far. over 100000 of Beatty's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his
way, that would have wrecked all ortli-
nary man forever. he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. He was mayor of Washing
ton, New Jersey from 1879 to 1883, five
terms, and recently declined renom'-
nation for tile sixth term. His instru-
inents, as is we'll known, are very popu-
lar and are to he found III all parts of
the world. We are informed that dur.
ing the next ten years he intends to sell
POO 600 more Of his make; that means
business of $2O,OO0,0OO, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in existence.

Washington, New JERSEY, for catalogue.

Experiment with n Sleeper.

Prof Mosso, the italian Psychologist,
constructed a couch SO arranged that
it could be accurately balanced in the
middle when the slightest change of
weight would make either end incline.
A man was laid upon it, balanced in a
horizontal position. AS he went to
sleep his head rose and his feet sank.
AS he awoke the opposite occurred,
proving that the blood left the head in
one condition and returned to it in the
other.-Chicago Chronicle.

Gently by Smoking Out the sprites.
From the New York Sun.
In a village in the west of ireland few
weeks ago child wandered away into the
country and was lost. Its anxious pa
rents after a weary and unavailing
search, reported the matter to the consta-
bic in charge of the village. After care
fully questioning them he told them that
any further search for the child would be
useless without certain prelimlnaries, be-
cause It was clear to him that the poor
child had been carried off by the fairies,
according to their well-known custom. The
constable told them to make a fire and
burn in II as much of a certain herb as
they could find. They did so at once.
Then, according 10 his instructions, they
went again in search of the child. He
had declared that the smoke of the burn
ing herb would force the fairies to bring
the child back and sure enough, on going
over the ground they had previously
searched, they found the little boy asleep
beside stream.
The reputation and authority Of that
constable have now increased hundred
fold in all the countryside, and very few
householders in those parts now have the
temerity to risk offending "the good peo-
pie as they call the fairies (much as the
Greeks used to call the furies the Eumen-
ides,' or well wishing ones), by emitting
TO leave out every night the traditional
bowl of milk and the griddle cake for their
benefit
The constable himself believes his charm
brought the child back. Yet, like all the
Royal Irish constabulary, he has had to
pass a fairly stiff examination in order to
be received into the service
