SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.

Aside from errors of refraction, w. II.
Rivers finds the eyes of all races and
classes of men to be practically the
same. The apparent superior sight of
savages is attributed entirely to prac-
tice and education, with familiarity with
the surroundings.
The melting of glaciers in winter has
called for explanation. DR.. r. Won Len
denfeld of Prague believes that the
earth's interior heat cannot account for
more than three to six per cent. OF the
effect, but that the principal cause OF the
melting is the heat from the work OF
the ice in descending. The pressure OF
winter SHOWS would probably somewhat
increase the internal melting.
Whether matter undergoes any
change of properties OF being charged
with electric current has been subject
of experiment. The results have been
practically negative. Mr.. Paul K. Heyl
states that when carrying heavy cur
rent the change in the tensile strength
IF iron cannot exceed half of one per
cent, and the melting point of tin can
hardly be changed two degrees.
Some new and simple radium expert
ments have been described by Prof
Orazio Rebuffat, an Italian physicist.
On rubbing a glass tube with wool IN
medium containing radlum salt,
luminous glow followed the wool. and
a glow also appeared when the finger
was brought near the excited glass Us
ing a vacuum tube brought into connec-
ton with a tube of radium salt, bril-
liant glow appeared inside when the
outside of the glass tube was rubbed
with wool. This experiment, it is be-
lieved, makes it possible TO demonstrate
the production OF emanations from
radium mixtures OF low grade or feeble
activity.
The action OF water as an anaesthetic
is illustrated in some recent cases
brought TO notice by Joseph Clements.
In one case five hemorrhoids were in
jected with distilled water when they
were removed in Is minutes without
pain, and the patient at once returned
home In another case two fistules were
opened and scraped. one after the in1ec-
ton of water, and the other without it.
The last operation was exceedingly
painful. The action Of the water is de-
clared to be the same as that OF solu-
tons of cocaine or other drug-a filling
of the interspaces of the tissues, thus
temporarily suspending intercellular
respiration and paralyzing the local
nerve centers.

glass cylinder closed at one end, about
eight inches high and four inches in
diameter, and partly fill it with go per

binary china saucer, and immerse it
in bath of hot water until the whole
becomes warm, but withou1 allowing
the alcohol to boil. Then take the yes

notice a marked change taking place
in the contents of the glass. Thick

Then you viii perceive the upper sur

rain will then descend in torrents and

Making Trees Into Newspapers.

A trial was recently made in Austria
to decide in how short space of time
living trees could be converted into
newspapers. At Essential, at 1885 in
the morning three trees were sawn
down; at 9:34 the wood. having been
stripped OF bark. cut up and converted
into pulp, became paper. and passed
from the factory to the press, whence
the first printed and folded copy was is
sued at ten o'clock. So that in 145 min

SCHOOLS IN
4 CONCERT.
Madame Scott and Fred
Butler PIeaes
Audience.

Three hundred voices of school chill
dren singing in unison to the accom-
paniment of the Hawaiian Government
band and under the leadership of stan
ley Livingston filled the Opera House
last evening with melody. Strong,
vibrant, clear and youthful, the music
was an agreeable feature of the Con
gress of Song which was given under
the auspices of the Kamehameha
schools.
The concert also introduced Madame
Ida Gray Scott, who came from Chi
cago to be the soloist. She made a
most agreeable impression, both in the
quality of her vocal notes and an ex-
cellent stage presence. Her voice is
smooth, clear and sweet, though it is
not particularly strong in the upper
notes.
Madame Scott's first selection was
Gounod's Cavatina from the Queen of
Sheba," which was we'll suited to her
voice. She responded with pretty
ballad.
In Joclyn- Godard's Berceuse. with
violin obligato by Mrs. ingalls,,
Madame Scott showed her versatility
and there seemed 70 be an added
sweetness to her notes. This impress
sion was more than confirmed in her
splendid rendition of Henschelfs
Spring.
Those who have already heard Mr..
Fred. Buffers voice in the revival
would have been more than agreeably
surprised in listening to his superb
rendition of the "Armorer's Song from
robin Hood His magnificent basso
voice sang the operate masterpiece in
a manner which caused the audience
to applaud and applaud until the
singer appeared again. For two en-
cores Mr.. Butler sang a pretty selec-
ton from the Shotgun and an Irish
ballad
The 300 school pupils sat upon the
of the stage was reached, and so great
was the demand for space that the
rear wall had to be left exposed to all
it's glaring defects. Berger's band was
perched on a lofty platform in an al
cove. The volume of music rolled out
over the audience like a>-tidal wave,
and was a credit to the talent being
developed in the schools.

ROSA BONHEUR'S HElRESS.
How Miss Anna Klumke Came to Be
Presented to the Great An
imal Painter.

Miss Anna Klumke, who has inherited
Rosa Bonheur's fortune, is about TO
publish a paper, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. which shows how it came about
that the great artist made her will in her
favor, and you will be surprised to hear
that il was John Arbuckle, the man at
the head of the great coffee industry,
whom all Brooklynites know, who was
instrumental in having Miss Anna
Klumke make the acquaintance Of Rosa
Bonheur This is the way it came
about:
John Arbuckle was great admirer OF
Rosa Bonheur and having, some ten
years ago, fine wild horse in his stud
farm. he sent it to Rosa Bonheur. A
year later. going to Paris, Mr.. Arbuckle.
wanting TO know whether Rosa Bon
heur got the horse all right, asked his
friend. Miss Anna Klumke, to go to the
chateau with him to act as interpreter,
because he spoke no French. They did
not see Rosa Bonheur; she was out, but
the maid showed the horse to its former
owner and said that no one Was able to
tame him; that he was let out in the
fields and came back to the stable Of his
own accord when he wanted feed.
Mr.. Arbuckle was bent on making
Rosa Bonheur's acquaintance and, on
writing to her, she invited him and Miss
Klumke to luncheon, saying they would
be most welcome, but would not get
much more than fresh eggs. Delighted
with his visit, Mr.. Arbuckle made sew
eral calls upon Rosa Bonheur and each
lime he wrote asking the liberty to go
to see her she wrote back to be sure
and bring his charming interpreter with
him.
Anna klumke, who always had the
greatest admiration for Rosa Bonheur's
work, was delighted to have the ocea
sion to see the great artist A friend
ship grew out of these visits and when
Anna Klumke came to America to fill
orders for portraits she and Rosa Bon
heur correspondent. When Anna Klumke
went back she painted Rosa Bonheurs
portrait for the Salon and during the
poses the artist asked Miss Klumke if she
would not like to live with her, that she
would give her lessons in painting and
that it would be pleasant to spend the
winter evenings together talking about
art and literature. Anna Klumke's
mother was appealed to by the artist and
gave her consent and Anna was Rosa
Bonheur's constant companion the last
two years of her life.
Miss Klumke venerates the memory
Of her friend and benefactress and she
spends the greater part of her life col
lecting notes. remembering what the
artist told her, to get up biography of
monument to her memory In the mean
while, she is about to publish Rosa Bon
