Late measurements of the carbonic acid existing at conshlarable heights above the earth's surface appear to show that the gas is pretty evenly distributed i throughout our atmosphere. . Violent atmospheric disturbances are always attended with electrical manifes-, tations; anil, in a recent paper. Dr. Rogers.is disposed to consider the prevalent theory of wind as, erroneous, and be- ; lieves the real cause of air currents to lie electricity. ° In 188, r ) a prize of twenty-five thousand frames, offered by the King of the Belgians, is to be awarded for the best workon means and measures for making the , study of geography general and furthering instruction in that science in educational institutions. Dr. Born, of Breslau, has found that when young tadpoles are fed exclusively 1 upon certain articles of diet an astonishing preponderance of females is developed. The proportioned! the case of 1140 tadpoles thus reared reached ninety-five percent. The experiments of M. Yurg also show that special food has a remark.

On entering a forest he suddenly found himself in the midst of a ; great number of reindeer which were digging through the snow for the moss j of which they are so fond. All except I the younger ones were working lustily, evidently being very hungry. They dug | first with one fore-foot, then with the i other, the holes gradually becoming larger and larger, and the bodies of the j animals becomiugynore and more hid- j den. The snow was about four feet in depth, and some of the holes had been dug ; so far that nothing save their swaying tails could lie seen of some of the reindeer. I In every direction these busy creatures ! wen- to be seen toiling with the sole object of reaching the moss covered by the snow. How greatly would human knowledge be narrowed had the mi sc rope never existed! This wonderful instrument hast not only revealed the magnitude and importance of the unseen world about, us, aiid shown us many hidden marvels, but it has furnished a means of studying disease which will never cease to be an jnestimable boon. It has shown that i the animal body is preyed upon by a variety of organisms, producing diseases ! whose cause would have never been sus- 1 peeted without its aid. The knowledge ; thus gained has in several instances led to the discovery of methods of rendering the attacks of the minute parasites comparatively harmless, thus .conquering ! certain dreaded maladies. Observations of this kiqd arc only of,a every recent date, bu.t the progress made has been very remarkable. AU epidemics or contagious diseases are now believed to Indue to microcopic organisms in the blood, and it appears ipiite probable that M. Pasture's plan of vaccination may ere 1 long Vie successfully applied to all ailmerits of this kind with the result of greatly reducing their ravages. It is liopcd'that these new ideas concerning I disease may soon lead to a material lessening or the death-rate from such wide- 1 spread disorders as scarlet and typhus fevers and diphtheria. Truly great is • the work of the microscope. Considerable interest is now being felt | in ballooning, and the lovers of aeronautics are evidently determined that something shall be done to increase the usefulness of this department of science. The balloon society formed in England some months ago is now" followed by tr-

f similar-association in Berlin which intends to hold an aeronautical exehition at i some time during 1882. Among.the plans proposed to the British Balloon Society is that of a balloon to be kept ; under control by means of compressed j gas. The gas would be stored in a suit - able tank", uuder, pressure, ami the balloon would be reduced in size or enlarged • at pleasure by admitting or withdrawing gas whieh might hns-th-eled-by simply; turning a crank. The balloon would of ; course fall when reduced in size and rise as it became expanded, so that ballast and waste of gas would be rendered iinncssary. Improvement in annotber direction is still sought by aeronauts who are striving to travel considerable distances in predetermined courses. Little success, has attended these efforts. The most important ballooning scheme now; before the public is Commander Cheyncs project for reaching the North Pole. He - proposes to travel by sea as far as practicable, and to complete thepßalanee to J the poles in immense bamsons7Tle is very sanguine of success.- It is to be sincerely hoped that the thought and money now being devoted to air navigation may lead to useful results. Pro- ' gress thus far has been very slow, and it must be confessed that little material ad- ] vanee has been made since the lime of Montgolfier. Annoyance Avoided.

Editor of tin: Times: —l have been | watching the correspondence in y our pa- ! per for the past, few weeks with much j interest. Having been in the practice j of medicine for many years, I have j learmHt to have no confidence in the | many proprietory medicines which arc on the market and it was through I,lnexcellent recommendation given by Dr. Bates, and the knowledge I had of liis veracity and ability as a physician that ever led me to lay aside my longexisting prejudice, to try the only wonderful remedy, named Kendalls .Spavin Cure whieh I find so many of your readers have also found to be so valuable. Rheumatism has afflicted me for years, and with all the skill 1 have professed to have in treatingDthers 1 found my self unable to -lo anything to cure my-elf entirely. After suffering for years tin- difficulty became located in my hip and nothing that I could do seemed to affect it until I.began to use Kendall's Spat in. Cure, which has cured me completely. In all my experience as a physician 1 have never been able to make any compouml which" penetrates* so thoroughly amr Works so admirably in removing old standing ailments, and at the same time hardly product* "any irritation of the skin. It has done such wonders 1 with me that 1 have the utmost eonti- I deuce in its efficacy, and can reemn- j mend it with the 'confidence that tinproprietors do not claim too much for it.* Respectfully. ,f.

A Horrible Mormon Crime ” ’l] —o— One crime, which was committed here only a short time ago, I must it*?- i scribe, Mrs. Maxwell came to Salt Lake City with her husband in 1869. Two years afterward her husband took another wife, and one year subsequent lie j was sealed to a third. Mrs. Maxwell had two sons, aged respectively 14 anil 16 years. Their father urged them to go through the Endowment house and become mormons, bound by ail the oaths of the church. Mrs. Maxwell objected, and in order to prevail over her sons she told them the secrets of the Endowment ho use. The penalty for revealing thesis,secrets is dismemberment of the body, cutting of the throat, and tearing out of the tongue. Mr. Maxwell overheard bis wife, being in an adjoining room, and forthwith he informed the elders, who sent for the unfortunate woman and her two sons. They were taken into what is called the “dark pit,” a blood-atoning room under Brigam Young’s house. The woman was then stripped of all her clothing, and then tied on her back to a large table. Six members of the priesthood then performed their damable crime; they first cut off their victim’s tongue, and then cut her throat, after whieh her legs and arms were severed. The sons were efimpelled to standby and witness this dreadful slaugnterof their mother. They were then released and given twenty-four hours to get out of the territory, whieh was then impossible. The sons wept directly to the house of a friend to whom they related the butchery of their,mother, and, getting a package of prdvisions, they started, but on the following morning they .were dead —they had met the Dantes. One other ease similar to the above occurred about live years ago in the city ball. These are truths, and the lady to whom the sons told their story is willing to make affidavit lit the facts if she can he garenteed immunity from Morman venganee.— Salt Luke Cor.

Living Witnesses.

Some curious phenomena—electrical shadows so called—have been lately described by Herr Holtz to the Gottingen i Academy. They are obtained by fixing to one rod of an electrical * machine a eoncave disc having a piece of silk i without wrinkles adhering to it; at the j point of the other discharge rod—placed 1 opposite—appears, when the machine is I worked, a small, feeble luminous star, j and on the disc a circle is seen. When ! objects are interposed the shadows ap- : pear on the luminous circle. They are \ not optical shadows, as is proven by the 1 fact that all opaque objects do not give them. They are produced in general only by conductors of electricity, and insulating bodies give little or no shadow. A gla s roil with one end made conducting by heat gives a partial shallow, which gradually disappears on cooling. “Live in my heart and pay no rent,’’ says and Irish song. “Sure it s Boycottin’ me ye angiiarlm , and if the landlord ot that' heart, yer father, comes alo ig wid unuy of his nonseijse, sure I'll sh—no, begorra, that won’t do—lll take the oiild man along wid us to Auiei-tky.

One who sells on trust must have larger profits than lie who sells for cash exclusively. Byselling for cash, Mr. Walters will reduce his price to the lowest figures compatible with his business, and thereby make his customers the gainers. He does not take this step to run other driiggists.ljuf resorts to it simply as a mutter of business. He hopes to gain a good patronage, and promsies to do all he can to accommodate his customers for cash. Wake up! And take your medicine, when you need any—and, in the course of human events you will.
