ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.

At the present meeting in Columbus,
Ohio, of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, an at
tempt was made by A. r.. Wallace to
classify the discoveries and inyen-
tions to which the progress of man
kind is mainly due. Two groups
were formed, the first containing the
epoch-making advances achieved pre-
yious to the present century and the
second embracing those of equal value
that have had their origin in the pres
ept century. In the first group are 10
items, in the last "a, the progress of
the world in the nineteenth century
appearing to exceed that of all pre-
vious centuries put together. In the
first place are alphabetical writ
ing and Arabic notation. Both orlgi-
mated in prehistoric times, In the
fourteenth century comes the mari
ner's compass, and in the fifteenth the
printing press. The seventeenth cen
fury gave us the telescope, the barome
eter, thermometer differential calcu-
lus, the recognition Of the attraction
of gravitation, the laws of planetary
motion, the knowledge of the circula-
ton Of the blood and the measure
ment of the velocity of light. The
early steps of the evolution OF the
steam engine and the foundation OF
modern chemistry and electrical sci
ence belong TO the nineteenth century.
Since 1900 the doctrine of the correla-
Il ,f
been established and the nebular the
DRY has been set forth. The spectre
scope and the germ theory of diseases
belong to this period. To be added
are the electric telegraph, the tele-
phone and monograph, the Bessemer
process of making steel, the use OF an
esthetics. the railway and the steam
ship. Mendeleef's periodic law in
chemistry the molecular theory of
gases. Lord Kelvin's vortex theory of
matter, the discovery of the glacial pc
riod in geology and the establishment
of the origin and antiquity of man
these also belong to the nineteenth
century. The light might be extended,
hut this imperfect enumeration indi-
Gates that what has been accomplished
In physical science alone has been very
considerable II Is. however. hardly
just to primitive man not to give him
fuller credit for the invention of Ian
guage, the use of fire. the discovery of
metals, the tanning Of animals, the
discovery and discrimination of useful
grains herbs and fruits. the utilza-
tion Of tools and the arts of building
and navigatlon, Some of these things
look easy now, but they were not so
obvious to our remote ancestors

the theory so far as to make some eff
fort toward attaining the blissful
state. 1t is usual to represent Handel
as cold-hearted misogynist because
he was a bachelor. But Handel was
certainly more than once engaged to
be married. First it was to an Italian
lady with whom he fell il love while
young man in Venice. Afterward he
would almost certainly have married
an English lady but for the rude way
in which the mother interposed; and
finally he was engaged to lady or
large property, who insisted as con-
dition of the union that he should give
up the practice of his art, which Han
del would as soon have thought OF do
ing as of going without his dinner 1t
is indeed curious to note how ire
quently the musicians have escaped
matrimony owing to the absurdly
mean view taken of their profession
by prospective fathers-in-law. Belll-
nj practically died of broken heart
because the father of his inamorata,
Neapolitan judge, declined his suit on
account of his social position. Beet
hoven, again, certainly had desires
toward matrimony. "Oh, God!" he
exclaimed, "let me at least find her
who is destined to be mine and who
shall strengthen me in virtue" But
Beethoven had none of the arts and
graces of the lover, and to the end he
remained welded only to his art
which was perhaps just as well, both
for the art and the woman.
Gluck, the founder of the modern
opera, had also to contend with the
Philistine father, in the case of rich
banker and merchant who had no very
high opinion of the financial resources
of musicians. Fortunately for Gluck,
however, the banker died while the
composers love was still fresh and
consequently there was Nine. Gluck
left to mourn him when he said fare
we'll to the world Chopin's "senti-
mental amenities" with George Sand
have been the subject of more specu-
lation than the love affairs of any
other musician who has ever lived.
1t was heartless business altogether
on the side of the lady, who not only
left the composer to his cough and his
piano after winning all the affection
he had to give, but represented him
to the world as consumptive and ex-
asperating nuisance.-Cornhill Maya

company wired back, "Seventy-six
thousand dollars" and the express
messengers hair stood on end
The first thing he did was to get a
"lay-off" and take the first train for
the station nearest the place where he
remembered the package disappearing.
He went out to the exact spot, and
after hunting for some time found the
missing package in the weeds by the
side of the track, exactly where 1t had
blown.
He had had the car door open on ac-
count of the heat, and Kansas zephyr
came along and whisked the package
out of the open door. The messenger
did not think it worth stopping the
train for, but he will never make such
a mistake again.-Youths Companion.

SETTING UP THE BIBLE.

The first step in printing a new edi-
ton of the Bible is to take two COM
mon text Bibles and separate them in
10 single sheets, so that each. if neces-
sary, may be given to a different COM
positor. The whole Bible has to he
mapped out page by page to the very
letter. The references have to be plan
ned out in the same way. Specially
prepared slips Of paper are attached
to the copy for this purpose. and on
these the references are placed with
mathematical exactness. There ara M
Hnotypes at the Oxford Press. Every
letter in Bible represents a separato

THE BREAK UP OF CHINA.

Lord Charles Beresford has struck a
note in his book which will appeal to
the better sense of the English-speak-
ing world. although the money-mong-
ers and cosmopolitan fianciers may
ridicule, as is their wont, the higher
plane of thought and feeling from
which Lord Charles discusses the
whole China problem. The work
Is a most laborious, interesting, and
successful effort to bring together all
the information obtainable. The in
terviews with the various viceroys and
the expression of the opinion of the
educated Chinese, which are reported
in Lord Charles's book, give quite a
new idea of the moral and intellectu-
al possibilities of China as a nation
After reading all the contemporary
literature on the subject to which |
have been able to obtain access,
have no hesitation in saying that Lord
Charles Beresford's book on China
contains more Informative and inter-
esting matter than all of them put to-
gether. In the words of japanese
writer, he has lever been bluffy
straightforward, but withal a prudent
politician. We therefore rejoice at
his outspoken belief in the potential
qualities of our Chinese neighbors,
and are ready to enter into any
compact having for its object the
maintenance of the integrity of the
Chinese Empire. Arnold White in

TO GET GOLD OUT OF SAND.
Miner Who Thinks He Can do Better
at it Than Most People.

There's millions of gold in black
sand" said Fl. A. Frederick, Seattle
man of experience in the Klondike,
land | believe | have hit upon a plan
to get it out. You know this black
sand is about as heavy as the gold,
and in panning, as ordinarily done
with cold water, the gold and the
sand either go out of the pan together
and are lost, or they stay in the bot
tom and are of no more use than if
they were lost. On a claim | had in
the Yukon country we got only S32
out Of the black sand for whole sea-
son, and | knew that we were losing
whole lot and that there ought to
be some way of getting at it. So I
experimental with hot water, which
was not unusual, but | added some
salt TO it, and found an improvement.
81 took an iron bucket holding two
gallons, filled it about one-third full
of sand, put in a double handful of
salt, filled it with water and set it on
the fire to boil. AS it boiled l stirred
it, like you would stir apple butter,
or as we stir dog feed in the Klondike,
and then poured it off into the pans. I
don't know what effect the salt had,
but when l put little quicksilver into
the pans I'll be blamed if | didn't get

ounces for one days work by three
men. This gold was worth about $50,
or, say, SIG an ounce. I'm going to
Cape Nome in the spring, where there
are tons and tons of this black sand
that cannot be or has not been worked,
and I'm going to utilize the salt sea
water and get rich. You see if I don't"

HUMAN BoDY's PECULIAR DOOR.
Enables Animals to Trace Men
Through Densest Jungles.

The fact that certain animals, and
especially the dog, will recognize the
propinqutty of their masters or
friends, although it may have been
impossible for them to have seen
them or heard their voices has long
since suggested to PSYCHOLOGISTS and
others the idea that every human be-
ing has a distinctive odor peculiar 10
himself and which remains more or
less constant. Otherwise, how would
IL be possible for the bloodhound for
instance, to take the trail of an in
dividual and follow it for miles
through crowded thoroughfares. as
well as through open country. and
unerringly pick out the individual
from among hundreds of others?
This idea has recently received a
signal verification, as we are told nv
DR.. Bett in the Archiv der Gesammten
Physiologie. The doctor states that
friend of his, with bandaged ewes
and every precaution against collu-
sion, was enabled by the sense of
smell alone to recognize persons with
whom he was acquainted, and to call
their names the moment that thew
came into the room and at the distance
OF several PAGES, The experiments
were varied in number of ways. but
with the unerring faculty of the blood
hound this man detected the identity
of every individual present. Other in
stances of a similar keenness are cited
by DR.. Bett. According to the man
who gave the exhibition, every family
has characteristic odor common to
all the members thereof, but the in
tensity of which usually varies suf-
hclently among the various members
to enable him to distinguish each in
dividual.-Indian Lancet.

LOST PACKAGE OF BONDS.
1t Flew Out of the Express Car and
Was Found.

Seventy-siX thousand dollars lying
in an open field for two days, and no
body stopping to pick it up This is
what happened a short time ago in
Kansas. The state school fund COM
missioners had arranged to purchase
that amount of Reno county bonds.
The bonds were sent to be approved.
hut on the appointed day they were
not returned. The Kansas City Times
tells the res. of the story:
superintendent Nelson received a
telegram from the Reno county com
mssioners asking why the bonds had
not been sent Nelson replied that
they had been. The Reno county peo-
pie wired back that they had never
been received. and that they had no
trace OF them Nelson called ON the
express office for an explanation. The
express people searched their books
and said that package answering
that description had left the Topeka
office for Hutchinson on Saturday.
The matter began to look serious
ana the express company investigated
its records to ascertain what messen-
ger was on that train. A telegram
was sent to him asking II he knew
anything of certain package bound
for Hutchinson from Topeka.
He replied that he didn't know fol
sure. but that a little package blew
out OF the express car door as he wa:
bound west on Saturday. and might
have been the one wanted. He further
told the company TO ascertain the
value OF the package. and he would
pay for it out of his salary The

A Merchants, Association.

The membership list OF the St.
Johnsbury Merchants association has
become so large that the petition to
which all the members names are at"
tached is quite curiosity. This doc
ument is of ordinary legal cap paper
and has reached the length of 81 feet
and inches. Up to date it has 9ol
signatures. This association has out
grown the local character which
marked the first years of its existence
and is spreading over all the New
England states, having members IN
100 different cities and towns.
The Merchants association was or
ganized in 1890 for the purpose OF
protecting retail merchants doing a
credit business. Later il was merged
with the Board Of Trade and for a
while was part of that organization.
In 1896 it was recognized and since
that time has grown steadily until
now it is one of the most successful
collection agencies in existence. The
secretary, c. il. Bagley, has held this
position from the first and is thor
oughly acquainted with every detail
of the work.
