POPULAR SCIENCE.
"Silotwoe" is a new explosive ten times the strength of gunpowder, exploding without smoke or noise. A Russian invested it. A recent computation makes the velocity of the solar system in space only about 10,000,000 miles a year. By a different method another computer Las determined the rate to be about 025,000,000 miles in a year. To A2D in an analysis of noise, Prof. Cram Brown of the Royal Society of Edinbnrg, hopes to be able to make' a machine to grVe very lond imitations o? vocal sounds. He expects the apparatus to hiss with thousand-man power. , A large piece of meteori; iron has been found in a bed of tertiary lignite, Upper Austria. This is the first find of thatgSort in distinct geologi al periods, a proof that meteoric stones fell alo in former periods of the earth's existence. An inclination of one inch in fifteen miles is sufficient to give motion to water. An inclination of three inches per mile in u straight, smooth channel will give a velocity of three miles per hour, while three feet per mile would . produce a torrent. " A leaf of the giant water lily Victoria fern a) has been known to measure twenty-four feet & inches in circumference, its weight being nearly four
teen pounds. One of the flowers was
four feet two inches in circumference.
with petals nine inches in. length, and
weighed 3j pounds. It has hitherto been supposed that the highest mountain in the world was
Mount Everest, one of the Himalayan range, 29,000 feet high, but this honor is now claimed for Mount Hercules in
New Guinea, which soars to the tre
mendous altitude of 32,786 feet, or five
times that of Mount Wasiiinirton in
New Hampshire.
The age of-the earth has been variously estimated by geologists, astronomers, and other scientific men, the di
vergence of views on this matter being,
in fact, very great. Sir William Thomson, investigating the theory of the
earth's having cooled from a fluid to
solid mass, arrivedtit the conclusion that the period of such cooling should be
placed at not less than two hundred
nor more than four hundred millions of
years, with the prolnbility that a hun
dred million years is the limit of geo
logical history, and that pior to thai time the earth's surface was in a condition unfit for the maintenance of animal or 'vegetable life. According to Buckland and others, it is certainly millions
of rears since the world was created,
the onlv Question being as to how many
millions. The six thousand years of human history form, according to Hugh
Miller, feat a portion of the geological chjepfjieh is passing over us: they do ndrextend into the yesterday of our globe", far less touch the myriad of ygee BprestAwit beyend,

The fire losses in tbe United States during the first seven months of 1887 are computed at 76,028, 100. An analysis of tbo statistics shows that incendiarism is responsible for a larger percentage of fires than any other known cause. Defective fines come next, which speak very badly for American recklessness in the construction of buildings. The ratio of insurance loss to tho aggregate loss from fire during the past ten years averaged 5B per cent Notwithstanding tho prevailing opinion to the contrary, it does not appear that fire waste is increasing more rapidly in proportion than the value of destructible property in tha country. The Massachusetts Democrats have decided to hold their convention at Worcester on September 33. Foun British sealers were seized by tho American cruisers In the Behring Sea.

The awful weight of a beam crushed her chest against the rubbish beneath, and when the relief party reached her she was given up for dead.

The Terre Haute polios arrested three men on information given by a farmer that they . had been to his place and tried to work a confidence came en bim, bat as he was a reader of newspapers he declined to be bled. The men gave their names as Parker, Kerns, and Forbes. There could be no charge made against them at Terre Haute, and they were held to await information from the other localities. It turns ont they are wanted in Jackson County, this State, for swindling a farmer" named Znch Deputy out of $3,0:kl in cash und a note for $000. Mr. Deputy, who ts imite wealthy, was considered a good snb;ect to work upon. One of the men visited the farm of Mr. Deputy, into whose good graces he proceeded to get, which object was accomplished by paying very profuse compliment to bis farm, etc. Finally the visitor iiecame so mueh in love with the place that he determined to bay it.. He didn't care what it cost. His father-in-law, at Fort Wayne, whom be represented to be the President of the bank, was literally reeking with wealth. He won d bring down the old gentleman in a day or ho and let him see the place. Mr. Depaly was much elate.l at the prospect of selling bis farm at a bargain, and the dutiful "son -in-law' accordingly brought down the "old gentleman" tbe next day, Tho farm seemed to please them very muchWith Mr. Deputy they drove ont on the tond. Of course, they met auother man, quite unexpectedly. Would they like U be one of the beneficiaries in the new scheme he is getting np? The "old gentle- -man" and the "son-in-law" were willing. It was the same old story. Mr. Deputy had money in the bank. He drew $3,000, hoping, presumably, to carry home with him three or our times that much. He supposed his money had been returned to bim, because when moving off, in order to keep him from following them, the three swindlers threw back a package much resembling his, with a $10 note on lhe outside and the rest Confederate money and advertisements. The oldest woman in this State is Mrs. Magadalene Boggs, who resides with har daughter, Mrs. Ann Bothermel, at Milton, Wayne County. Mis. Bogus was born on December 'ii,' 178.1, at EiiEbe'htown, Lancaster County. Pa. Her father, Peter Shafer, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He died in 1818 at the age of 97.

It attacks yeang horses mote frequently than old ones, bnt very few of lhe latter have been atVicted yet. The anim il's throat swells to a very large i-ize, so as to make it difficult, if not impossible to swallow anything. Tne" swollen part rarely breaks, bat emits matter freely when 1 meed. Several horses have died of the disease and it is snmatttng continually. It is slow in its effects bnt quite fatal. The water from the artesian well at Martinsville is attaining a wide reputation ror the cure of rheumatism and liver and kidney diseases, and is being shipped to Spencer, Go-oport, Mooresville and other places, on account of its excellent medical qualities All who use it are entbusiastio in praising its good qualities. People visit the well from early morning until late at night, drinking the water and carrying it away in jugs, cans, backets, and kegs. -William Patterson, of Indianapolis,was instantly killed at Lafayette, Patterson stepped fiom an engine on the Lake Erie and Western road to the track of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St, Louis and Chicago. A locomotive on the road came rushing by. He attempted to step off- the track, but his foot caught in the doable rail and held him fast. He was horribly mangled. A terrible murder and robbery occurred near Fredericksburg, Washington County; recently. John Hertel and Daniel Wyninger, long time enemies, met on the turnpike, renewed their quarrel and finally ended it by Hertel stabbing Wyuinger to death with a huge butcher knife. Hertel then robbed the dead man of $2,000 and fled. A stranger was accidentally and instantly killed by the local passenger train, near tbe depot ot the Pittsburgh road, at Fort Wayne. He bailed from Chicago, was apparently a tramp, and probably insane. There was nothing found on his person to lead to his identification. Edward T. Brash, switchman in the yards of the Pennsylvania Cimpany, at Fort Wayne, while coupling ears, fell under the cars and was run over, causing death shortly afterward. Deceased was 30 years of age and leaves a family. Silas Shrayer, Bartholomew County farmer, while driving an ox-team attorned to a threshing engine descending a hill, fell off, the wheels passing over him, crashing bim badly and injuring him internally. He cannot recover. Marshal Ellis, of Wabash, went to Marion in pursuit of thieve , and put up at a hotel over night. He got up in the night and walked ont of a second-story window, falling thirty feet.
