IS {THE SUN WASTING P / _ During the last twenty years the subjdct of the constitution of the sun has ‘attracted very great attention, not only amongst scientific men, but amongst intelligent readers of I ooks and newspapers. We think it,, therefore, of interest to give our readers a popular account of the different theories upon the sun’s heat, and especially a new one bearing the name of Dr.'Siemens, whose reputation is so well known from his discoveries of metallurgy and electricity, and who filled the chair of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at its meeting at Southampton. Most of our readers doubtless know « ' the chief figures which denote the dimensions of the sun, especially since the transit of Venus eight years ago led to a correction of the distun e of the sun from tlig earth, according to the figure that had for many years been accepted. But perhaps not so many persons have realized the enormous figures that represent the heat of thealolar orb, as contrasted with the figures that we are familiar with on the subject of terrestrial heat. The volume of the sun is about one million three hundred thousand times that of the earth, and its distance from , us, in round numbers, about ninetythree millions of miles. And since we all of us every day see the wonderful effects of the heat and light which even this little world of ours receives, we can form some faint idea of the enormous amount of heat continually given out by the sun and the prodigious waste that must be going on. And if we would form any real estimate of this heat and waste, we most remember that all the light and heat which is received by the earth and other planets is a very small proportion of the amount, that is being continually poured forth. It "might be ^sliown. with a moderate knowledge of geometry, that the amount so shed into space, where there are no planets to receive it, is two thousand two hundred and fifty million times as great as that which is received by all the planets ^ which form our solar system. We naturally ask: What is the condition of a body which is capable of throwing out for thousands, and perhaps millions, of years, so vast an aihoimt slight and heat? Tor0 it has been computed that the temperature of I the surface of the sun would be expressed by eighteen thousand degrees * of Fahrenheit's thermometer, or between eighty and ninety times the tern- ' perature of boiling water. This is about five rimes the highest temperature that man is able to produce by artificial means. Also the light given off from the same surface is computed as being five thousand three hundred times more intense than that of the molten metal in a Bessemer converter, though that is of an almost blinding brilliancy. Or if we compare it with the ovy-hydrogen fiame, the son sheds a light equal to a hundred and forty-six rimes the intensity of the lime-light So intense is the heat of the sun that no known substance could remain in a solid form when subjected to such a temperature. Hence it has been concluded that the entire orb, vast as it is, is an aggregation of gases altogether void of any trace of liquid or solid substance; moreover, that the outside visible surface of the sun tlows like the surface of the sea, or rather like vaporous masses of cloud and misty air. But we must not suppose that this vaporous material is of little weight throughout the whole substanoe of the sun; for in consequence f»f the sun’s vast size, the pressure in the inward portions must he so great through the inlluonce of attraction that the internal mass is believed to be denser than water. And as the late Prof. Clerk Maxwell antf" other's have shown that the viscosity or tenacity of a gas increases fast with the rise of its temperature, it is possible that the vaporous matter of the sun’s interior would resist motion like a mass of pit h

w putuy. ^ When thinking about this enormous amount of heat, philosophers have naturally inquired whether it is being dissipated gradually, or whether it is by some means sustained undiminished; and if so -sustained, by what mean3. '1 here have until recently been put forth two theories on the matter; but recently a third has been broached by Dr. Siemens, and it has appeared in the Nineteenth Century under the title of •‘A New Theory of the Sun”—-that is, as regards the sustentation of its light and heat We will mention the old theories in their natural orders. First, all our everyday experience teaches us that when combustion is taking place the substances which are giving out light and heat are parting with their matter, and causing it to assume different forms, as gas and a residuum of ashes. We see this ip the burning of a piece of wood or coal, or even a piece of paper. We do not say the substance is lost. If we (fould gather up all the products of the combustion we should i nd that they^faad not lost a particle of their weight, but that the form of them was materially changed. This,^ then, we conclude is the case with the sun. As we have stated above, the enormous light and heat which is being continually thrown into space proves that the suu is converting much of its substance into other forms; and, unless the waste be supplied from some external source, the material of which the orb is composed can not fail to be gradually diminishing; though in the cas ; of a body of such large dimensions it must be a long time before there is any perceptible diminution either of volume or heat- But the loss of heat is by some believed to be compensated by the d minution of volume. Prof. Isewtombe, of Tate College, Usif*d States, has

come to the conclusion that with the diminution of the mass the heat augments; and that, by this compensation, a shrinking of the mass m'ghtgo on for five millions of years, and that it would then be eight times as dense as it is now. Ana he concludes that' the present conditions of radiation of heat aud light can not have gone on for more than ten millions of years, and probably can not support life on the earth as now for another ten millions. This theory, then, does not pro ess to provide for an indefinite continuance of the sun's < present powers. And we may add, by the way, that, even if we are led to contemplate the ultimate extinction of ligh and heat iu the sun. it is no more than appears to have happened in the moon, which appears to b3 a dark and inert mass, the rotation of whi h has been perhaps stopped by som> such tidal action a< we know is at work upon our planet, i nd very slowly, but steadily, retarding our diurnal rotation. That the moon does not rotate is manifest from the fact that it always presents the same face to the earth. The tirst theory, then, does not profess to show that the s in’s waste is repaired from

without. The second theory is that the waste is repaired, both in volume and heat, by the continual impact or striking of meteorites upon its surface. This theory is due to l>r. Mayer, of Heilbronn, and was published in' 1848. It was enthusi- . astically received by Sir William Thomof Glasgow, one of the greatest physicists of the day, and who is i specially known for'his successful researches in electricity. It is well known that if a body when moving rapidly 1 e suddenly stopped in its course heat is the immediate result We may see this exemplified when a bullet is fired against a stone wall; the lead becomes heated. ’1 his theory supposes that the sun is being perpetually hammere 1 like a ponderous anvil by falling meteors, and that its heat energy is maintained as a lump of iron is kept hot by the vigorou blows of a blacksmith. Various calculations have also been made as to the amount of heat generated by the impact of a small planet, or pi her mass, the weight of which can be computed. But surely if there were falling continually on the sun such a mass of meteors as would | repair the regular waste, the earth j; wou d meet with a good deal more of I such matter than it does in the periodical meteoric display in November and other occasions; and the orbit of the planet Mercury, which is the nearest known o. the sun’s satellites, would exhibit some traces of this powerful influence. We can, therefore, hardly attach i much weight to this theory. We now come to the new theory 1 started under the powerful name of Dr. S emens. It seems very probable that ! the theory has been suggested by ob- ! serration of the regenerative gas fur- ; nace of which he and his brother, Herr ( F. Siemens, are the originators, wherein the surplus heat, which has not b§en at first utilized for work, is returned through a central regenerative chamber to the gas and air about t> be burned, bo ore the waste products, with which it was previously associated, are sent up the chimney.1 Dr. Siemens starts with the following assumption that all the space between the planets, and even between the fixed stars, is tilled with something of a much more substantial^ < ha acter than imponderable ether, f Many of our readers will know that the phenomena of light have been fofvmany years explained by what is terfped the unduiatory theory of light, tvhjeh presupposes the presence of a very subtle fluid termed ether, pervading ail space; and that the vibrations of this ether produce all the phenomena of light, including the variety of colors in the rainbow, . or as sec-n in a- prism. But Dr. SieI men’s new theory of the sun demand^ I the presence of a much more substantial medium. We can not here go through all the considerations which have led him to his oonolusions, but may briefly state that he considers that the materials thrown off from, the sun by its energetic action are throngh the presence 6f this gaseous medium “dissociated” or resolved into elementary substances; and, when so resolved, burst into l’ame under the influence of the heatrand are turned back into the compounded state, as hydrogen is converted into water upon earth w'th the evolution of flame. Then he assumes that the matter so converted is acted upon by the sun’s attr&etion, and redrawn into the mass of the sun by its enormous gravitating power. Our author is careful to guard his theory from being looked U; on as one involving the idea of “ perpetual motion;” but it certainly presents an appearance of such a principle at first sight We can but briefly discuss the great difficulties that beset the reception of this theory! In the first place, it is needful to prove that this gas, upon the existence of which tne whole theory^, rests has any existence at all. And there are these two main objections to its presence. If this vapor be dense enough to arrest the heat-rays of the sun and to convert them by • dissociation” into materials upon which the stm’s attractive power can have the ordina 'y in uence of gravitation, then the flame, having the nature of a resisting medium, must have the reflect of produoting a retardation of the planetary movements; a result which, if it existed, would long since have been detected. And if it be not dense enough to produce this resistance, it is difficult to conceive that it cun have sufficient coherence to enable it to arrest and de&L-with the heat emanations of the sun. Again, we observe in our own atmosphere that the smallest trace of watery vapor is sufficient to intercept the heat of the sun and, by formation of o oud, to shut the sun’s rays from the earth. Surely, therefore, if the whole of space is pervaded by a gas containing the least amount of vapor, the sun’s rays while passing through that vapor for nearly ninety-three millions of miles would be so intercepted that none of the effect of the sen’s neat which we now enjoy could be felt upon the surface of the earth. T- On the whole, then, w6 find it more easy to aocept the doctrine of the gradual dissipation of the solar heat through the immensity of space, and the progress've exhaustion of the sun as a central power of light and heat than to adopt this new theory, even though promulgated by so eminent a scientist as Dr. Siemens—Chambers' Journal.

A Wolfs Dislike for Music. It is well known that domestic dogs dislike music, but the hatred of it seems to be much stronger ilia wolf. Dogs become familiar with it, and have learned to endure it; but to the wolf it is intolerable. It would be well for those who live in countries infested by wo ves to arm them elves with some loud-sounding musical instrument, as the following anecdote would suggest. A Scotch bagpiper was traveling in Ireland, when he encountered a wolf, which seemed to be very ravenous. The poor man could think of no other way to save his life than to open his wallet and try the effect of hospitality. He did so. and the savage beast swallowed all that was thrown to him with such voracity that it seemed as if his appetite was not in the least degree satisfied. The whole stock of provision was, of course, soon spent, and noUr the'man’s only resource was in the virtue of his bagpipe. This the monster no sooner heard than he took to the mountains as suddenly as he had left them. The poor piper did not wholly enjoy his deliverance, for. looking sadlv at his empty wallet, he shook his fist at the de]tartiqg animal, saying: “Ay! are these your tricks? Had 1 known your humor, you should have had your musio before your supper.”—JHarper's Vcmm People

Soaps.

By tne term soap is commonly under* stood the various commercial products obtained by the action o( caust o alkalies on the fixed oils and fats. The soaps of commerce are divide ] broadly into two classes—hard and soft. Hard soaps are made with solid animal fats or vegeta' le fat oils and soda; for so t soaps, fish oils or vegetable drying oils are used, saponification - being effected with potash. Hard soaps may l>e obtained with potash, provided a solid fat be employed, but a potash soap is always softer than a soda soap produced from the same fat. The hard soaps usually consist essentially of the soda salts of the fatty and resin acids of the materia's, the SXc-.ss of alkali and'the glycerine having b en separated; but in the case of soft soaps no such separation is attempted, the whole being boiled down together. Hence soft soaps are more canstio than hard soaps and contain various impunities. The solid white granulations, often seen in soft soap, consist of potassium stearate, and to produce them a small quantity of tallow is used in the manufacture. As to the granulation, commonly but improper.y regarded as a proof of quality, it is somet imes imi tated by an admixture of starch. Marine soap is made partially < r wholly from cocoanut or palm-nutoil, which contains glycerides of the lower fatty acids. Cold water soap usually contains alkaline carbonates. JSuch soap lathers tolerably well with hard water. Soda soaps are mostly solid and hard alt the ordinary temperature apd in the absence of free a kali are not deliquescent. Both potash and soda soa s are readily soluble in hot water and alcohol; their concentrated solution solidifies to a jelly on cooling. Opodeldoc is this1 jollied soap mixed with alcohol. Copious dilution of a solntion of soap with cold water or the ccol-ng of a hot dilute solution, causes precipitation qf acid stearate and palmitate, while free alkali remains in solntion. It is probably to this reaction that the detergent properties of soap are due. The hardness of soap is not de- endent solely on the base present bit is greater in proportion to the stearine and palmitine pre-existent in the oil, and less in proportion to the olein in it. Soda soaps are soluble in water, but insoluble in brine and other strong saline solutions. When a moderately strong solution of hard soap is precipitated by addition of common salt the compositions of the separated soap is unchanged, but from very dilute solutions acid soaps are thrown down. Po ash soap can not be separated in a similar manner by adding chloride of potassium to its solution. If common salt be added to the solntion of a potash soap the precipitate cons'sts qf a s da soap, an e uivalent amount of chloride of potassium being formed >n the solution. • Concentrated solutions of caustic and carbonated alkalis also separate either potash or soda soap from its so ution, but in weak alkaline lyes> soap is readily soluble. Cocoanut and palm-nutoil soaps require a much larger proportion of salt to separate them from their solutions than is the case with any other varieties. Hence their use on board ships, as they form a lather with re a water. These o Is require a much stronger alkaline lye for their saponiti- < ation than is the case with other oils. The accurate determination of the water of soap requires considerable care. If the soap be a so id one a fairly representative sample shon’d be reduced to line shavings by scraping with a knife. A known weight is then exposed for some time to a tempera,ure ot forty cr fifty degrees centigrade, the heat being gradually raised to 100 degrees centigrade, and i ontinued at that temperature as long as loss of weight is observed. Th.e suapshoqld noti e allowed to melt. A better method is to dissolve about two grammes of soap in the minimum quantity of hot strong alcohol and to pour the liquid on a known we'gbit of clean dry sand, which is then exposed with frequent stirring to a temperature of 110 degrees centigrade. 'Ihe water in soap may also be estima'ed by diTerence.—Clothier anil Furnisher. Weeds—Where l)o They Come From 1 A correspondent inquires: “ Why is it that gardens which have been kept clear of weeds for years will bo, each spring, infested with them. Where do they come from?’’ A good many have asked this question before, and it is one of the puzzling th ngs in nature to those who have never given it a careful study. Now, how many seeds will a single weed produce? Let us see. It 's found by invest'ga? tion that the common mayweed is set down for 45.000, the daisy for 13,5, 0, the dandelion for 3,000, the dock for 13,000, the thistle for 20,0 0, the cockle for 2,600, the mustard for 8,000, the burdock, 26,h00, etc., etc. Each of these seeds is so thoroughly protected by its hard shell that it is possible .for it to lie in the eai th for a long series of years—no one can tell how long—w thout any damage to (he germ of life within. It only needs sunshine and air to develop it. Imagine, now, a field of thousands of separate specimens of any one of the weeds named, or others beside, and see the millions of germs that must be launched on the world each fall, to be scattered by the winds in every direction. Evidently some weed seeds must be indestructible, for varieties not be'ore seen spring up when thb ground has been treshly turned—deposited

tbere no one can ten now long be:ore. A piece or' new breaking will demonstrate this, producing, as it a'most invariably will, the well known “tumble weed,” an entirely new weed to the locality. A year ago last fall we seeded down a field to timothy and clover that had failed to catch in the spring. There had been a patch of smart-weed in a low portion of it which had gone to seed. As every resident of Minnesota will remember, the season was extremely wet It rained almost continuously from the 1st of September till the ground -was froze, and it would seem as if every individual seed of that smart-weed whitjh had l een set a‘’oat had sprouted, for in the spring the whole field was so thickly coated with this post that the grass seed'Could scarcely be seen. As soon as it had grown enouglffso that it could be out it was mowed down, this process ke it up through the summer. The timothy and clover finally got a start, and by fall there was a good stand of it. But the immense quantity of smartweed that had started from the original small patch, jvan a mystery almost unaccountab’e. The wet season had developed them and showed what a myriad had be.en set afloat from a small center. In a field some distance away, the year before, was a patch of “bull thistles.” The air was filled with the downy seeds for days after they were ripe,aiid the ground in every direction was thickly covered with a white carpet of seeds. Wo expected to see about a nillion of new th stles last year, but fortunately they d d not sprout, though the seeds will, many of them undoubtedly lie dormant to spring up at some future time when the conditions are favorable. The moral of all this is that constant vigilance is the price of clean fields. An hour's work on the young shoots is equivalent to a day’s labor Inter on; and tho farmer can take wb’at comfort ho chooses from the thought that there are burled millions of fresh weeds still unspronted, ready to come np smiling, just as soon as he folds his hknds for a rest*-iff.

The Management of Fuel.

The Scientific Commission has rft* ported that of 5.COO.OOJ tons of coal ann ually consumed in London 3,000,000 are combusted and 2,030,000 go off in smoke and gas to create fogs and in u re health and property. Doubtless a like inquiry into the waste of fuel in this country would result in substantially the same conclusion, especially where soft coal is used. Our housewives do not reali o that of every five cords of wood they burn ono Is literally thrown away, and so of coal, but s ch is-the fact. This waste has been going on ever since Prometheus incurred the wrath of Jove by his gift of fire to mortals, and will go on until some se > ond Prometheus shall teach us how to use this subtle element with exact knowledge. The process of combustion is continually go ng on within us and around us. It is simply the union of the oxygen of the air with substances for which it has affinity. In our bodies the oxvgen unites with the waste tissues of the body, and produces heat without visible fame. '1 he rusting of iron is combustion, fameless and without sensible heat Though the supply of o ygen is as exhaustless as the air, of which it forms one-fifth part yet not a surplus atom of oxygen enters into the process of combustion. There are two compounds of oxygen with carbon. One atom of oxygen unites with one atonf of carbon, or two atomsof oxygen unite, with one atom of carbon. Never an atom and a half of oxygen with an atom and a half of carbon. The union ol these two elements, is exact entire and always the same under all circumstances. All this is very elementary, but to those who have not studied chemistry it ma.v be entirely new, and a knowedgaol these i nderhing facts fe essential.to tiff telligent management of fuel. "♦ Tne term fuel is commonly applied to coal and wood, but in burning these substances we burn air also. To every pound of fuel a1.out thirteen of air, er two and two-third pounds of oxygen, must go to make combustion, and unless we burn air we can not burn wood any more than we can burn granite. The oxygen of the air and the carbon of the wood or coal unite, and heat is produced. Where there is perfect combustion only heat is evolved, w th neither illumination nor smoke. If then we should say that air is fuel and so treat it. we should be more accurate. The other constituent of ar, nitrogen, is a neutral presence in combustion, entirely harmless, and passes off with other gases generated in the process, up the chimney. As a matter of fact we burn neither wood nor coal, but gas into which these substances are gradually changed by heat In kindling a fire we use paper, shavings, small bits of wcod that can be easily inflamed. so as to generate heat to change the' more obdurate fuel into gas. As this change goes on smoke diminishes, and when our fuel is well ignited there is very little smoke. Only the surface of the fuel burns or can burn, or rather we should say the fuel can burn only at its surface, s'nee only this portion is exposed to the air and can permit its gas tb unite with the oxygen. Our stoves, then, are gas-gen-erators, and the amount of heat we shall get from them depends upon whether we can pursuade every atom of carbon we put into them to unite with its one or two atoms of oxygen; and whether we furnish just enough oxygen and no more for this chemical union. Ii we have too much air we cool the gas from the coal or wood below the point of ignition, and the draught will carry our neat with the unburned gas up the chimney, where it is lost to us. If we have too little the gas from the wood will escape without being burned, and the fire will 1 e “smothered.” In kindling a tire we expect to nse a surplus of air, and this fact is indicated by the roaring of the fire, but when kindled .the draughts should t o closed until th% fire burns nearly still; not quite, if the fuel be of wood. Probably more than half of green wood is wasted in the burning, for the water it contains when vaporized car^ ries off immense amounts of heat each" particle of steam acting, like a balloon and flying away with its portion of heal up into the outer air, leaving small surplus for the processes’ of baking and boding. Dry wood may be made to go much further if it is heated in the oveq^, before it is put into the fire-box. As the management of i re is one oi the most delicate chemical operations, and exactly the right proportions of air as fuel and of wooa or coal as fuel must be secured to have a perfect fire, it follows that we should not expect or hope to come to it by chance or accident, but by long and careful experience. Each stove re ,uires individual management, certain supplies of wood or coal and certain supplies of air by means of indraughts, and when these two are ex3 a-tly adjusted to each other the best results are secured. She who ‘ “piles on’ithe fuel unnecessar.lv and without securing appropriate supplies of aie tq. utilize all its carbon,, xvastes money as really as though she threw dollar billsinto the stove. It is not too much to hope that invention will before long give us perfect combustion and stop the present enormous waste in fuel, besides freeing ns from cinders, smoke, clogged chimneys and draughts, from dust and the injurious effects of gases that should be consumed in combustion.—N.

Pre-Historie Man, In the skeletons found in caves and rocks belonging to races of men who must have lived thousands of years before history began, are found evidences that the same diseases flourished then that now afliet humanity.

Our savage ancestry must have led dismal lives.

Profitable Farming. Inquiries are often made as to which is the most profitable branch of farming. Now the fact is, this depends upon several eontingene'es. The price of produce and of almost e very product of the farm, as well as stock, depends, in a great measure, upon circumstances. Some seasons, one article—for instance, hops this year, on account of a failure in . Certain parts of the globe—command an unusual and abnormal price; but good judgment dictates that it is not ^rood policy to bam calculations .upon such premises, and to presume because a' certain year pays exceedingly well that therefore the production of this certain crop will be a srn oess in the future For general purposes special crops or employments are rarely suitable, and mixed farming is the best reliance. This implies the culture of roots, grass and grain, chie'.ly for.feeding to tho stock, and only partly for sale. The aim should be to distribute the produce so that a good portion e mes hack as soil manure, and by this means tho soil is kept un proving cons'antly in fertlity an+Ffreedom from weeds. Then immediate advantage can be taken of any exceptional condition of things, and if grain does not pay. meat and wool may oe made to do so, and if grain happens to be high it may be sold and some cheaper feed substituted or tho stock. A sharp farmer, who has a little capital and can turn about on short notice, will never be caught in a poor year, without at least average profit from his business. Hy this we do not mean that every farmer must turn speculator, b„t that he shotdd keep well posted in reference to the supply and demand of all kinds of farm products in his own and foreign countries, for by so doing can he alone be prepared to make the best returns from his farm Year a ter year we see two farmers, side by side, with equal • uality of land and the same facilities and opportunities for sue ess, the one alwa- s prosperous and the other always linder the harrow. This ditlerence can only be aocounted for on the ground of management. The best course to pursue is a straightforward one. Pe not over excited if some par.ieular crop happens to nay unusually well for a time. The world needs but a certain amount of each kind of produce, and it is a fanner’s duty to study that want, and his aim should be to supply it Grow us great a \ ariety as you can, and never depend upon any one article as a general farmer.—San Francisco Chronicle.

What is Land Worth 1 What it will sell for. would bo a short answer, but not exactly a correct one, except when the owner is compelled to dispose of it ht once. Whatever sum it will pay a fair iuterest upon, if . rented, would seem a good answer, but this is not of universal application. In the hands of one lessee land may depreciate in value, and increase under the care of another.* Again, it may be so located as to promise a large advance in the early future, sntlicient to counterbalance a part or the whole of the annual interest. For farm land the first consideration is the character and condition of the soil, and the permanence of its good qual'tie3. If improved land, the cost of buildings, orchards, fences, etc., adds to its value. One hjtndred acres, wi h $2,50 i in needed buildings are worth twenty-iive dollars more per acre than a like farm without the buildings. 14 a farm, thq whole product of which is to be sold, is so far from markets that the hauljug or freightage, orboth on the average inst consume all the receipts above the actual cost of production, the land has no present actual value. If another like farm, by reason of be'ng ten, fifty, or a hundred miles or more nearer to market, aves an average of fivedollars per acre in freightage, it would pay live per cent, interest on one hundred dollars per acre, or ten percent, on fifty dollars per acre. But a man may occupy suen a farm, raise what his lamily consume, concentrate what he has to sell in the form of wool, meat, or butter, whieh cost but a small per cent, of their value for freightage, and wait the future approach of markets, and in time bis farm ma)' become of great value. Millions have in this way secured com'ortablo and valuable homesteads, and the process is being now repeated all over the great West.—American Agriculturist

The Hovering of Birds. The question of the hovering of birds is now under discussion in the columns of Nature. Mr. Hubert Airy seeks to show that a hint can only hover, in an absolutely changeless position, over slantingly-ascending air currents, head from the wind; the Duke of Argyll maintains that horizontal air currents suffice, head to the wind; Mr. David Cunningham believes that cyclonic winds, with vertically-ascending air currents, explain the mystery best; Mr. William Galloway adopts a theory involving slight and therefore imperceptible descent in horizontal air currents; Mr. J. Rae believes that no air currents at all are necessary (which seems to involve the theory that the hovering of birds is miraculous); and Mr. Laraen, pointing out that the lifting power of the air would not exist were‘there no friction (any more than a “frictionless ship in a. constant stream” would be moved “were it sufficiently tapering ”), shows that hovering in horizontal air currents could last but a very short time. This is a very pretty problem as it stands; and the whole question of flight, says Knowledge—at least as birds fly, and as men, by aid of machinery, will fly, if they ever fly at all—is involved in it.

Hard of Hearing. The following bit Of conversation is reported, between a new member and a well-known Senator who is very deaf, at the President’s reception last week: “ The President has slicked up more’n usual to-night, ain’t he?” “ What did you say?” asked the Senator, putting hfs hand up to his ear. i, ** 1 said,” exclaimed the new member, in a loud voice, ‘‘that the President’s slicked up, morn’n-” “I am deaf,” interrupted the Senator; “a little louder, if you please.” “The President,” shouted the new member, “has slicked-" “Yes—yes. Kicked? I thought so. I told the Committee on Foreign Affairs that if they didn’t look out he’d kick. You see, he hasn’t been in Congress very long, and these new members are so infernally green. Oh, I beg your pardon. See yon later.”—National Republican. To Clean Lamp Burners. Kerosene oil is generally used for lights in the country, and the cleanintr of lamp chimneys is quite tiresome, out must be attended to every day. The burners often get out of fix, and it is very vexatious to keep them in running order. When they get clogged and wifi not turn up or down, and are all covered with soot and gum, do not throw them away, but take a little iron kettle and put in a pint of wood ashes and a quart of water; put in the burners and set them on the stove and let them boil five or ten minutes take them out and, with a soft rag, wash them clean and dry them well. They aro then as good as new and will do another six months. It is very little trouble to do it, and saves much vexation. After one has tried it once she will not be apt to forget it. Nice-looking, clean lamps are quite ornamental, while a smoky chimney and bad-smelling burners are not agreeable. — Country Gentleman. f. —A couple were recently married in Goshen, N. Y., after a oourtship extending over a quarter of a century. The lgcal chroniclers say that so far as could be judged the course of their true love has always run smooth, both families being “agreeable,” and there was no visible obstacle to their union years ago, except that they never before were quite ready. Friends first laughed and then tea-ed them, and at last the condition of affairs became so much a matter of course that even gossip forgot to busy itself- about them. The young lady was one of the belles of the town and bad no lack of other" suitors, bat she turned a deaf ear to them all. —At the ropewalk ini Bath, Me., the spinners wind huge skeins of manila hemp aroand them, catch a thread, or two of it upon the hook, and as the spindle whirls walk slowly backward down the length, spinning: as they go, and leaving before them a long twisted strand. Every twenty minutes they disappear from sight, and are seen as far as the eye can reach coming into view down the dimly-lighted walk nearly a mile away. Thirty or more trips a day make a wand, and every wand is a half mile, and every day each spinner walks fifteen miles and spins seven miles of strands. —However joyful parents may be over the establishment of. a daughter, they rarely rejoice so openly as do a German father and mother in a recent number of the Mecklenburg Gazette. The notice runs: *• We bare the honor to announce the marriage of oar daughter I.onlso, with M. Notemaim, of Berlin-Sehwenn: Jan. 8,1883. “ H. Miller and wife. “ She was tho last of ti e half-dozen. The Lord be praised.”

. A Fireman’s Fortune. The San Fr.imttco (Cal.) CAroniefe, in an article on the Fire Department of Sau Francises), eives the following from Asst. Chief Engineer Matthew Brady: “I have been subject to an aggravating pain in my chest for over four years. I resorted to various modes of treatment to obtain relief, I have had my chest terribly blistered. No pbys cian eonl.l tell wh t was the matter with me.

11 ■ 11 -l-ll"”-lSfiJ An Internal Bevene OlBeer laved. 1 ^ Pbotidxxcx, August a, last Editor Boston Herald: D*a* Sn—During my term of service in the Internal Revenue Department of the United States, at the time my office was in this city, 1 was afflicted with a severe attack of kidney disease, and at t!m*s suffered Intensely. I received the medical advice of some of our )>es* physicians for a long time, without being benefited by their prescriptions. Being discouraged by the failure of the doctors to help me, and being urged to wee Hunt's Remedy by afriend who had tested its merits, although reluctant to try a patent medicine, I wan finally Induced to try it. and procured two bottles of It, and commenced taking It faithfully according to the directions. Before I had taken it three days the czcrnciatlnff pains in my back had disappeared, and before 1 had used two bottles I was entirely cared. Whenever, from over-exertion or a violent cold, the pains in my kidneys return, a tew doses of Hunt's Remedy quickly effects* cure. Before closing I beg to mention the remarkable cure of a friend of mine In New York City, to whom I recommended this valuable medicine. He was suffering severely from an attack which was pronounced by his physician a decided case of Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. I obtained two V>tties of Hunt's Remedy for him, and he commenced taking it, and began to Improve at once, and was speedily restored to health, pnri he attributes the saving of his life, under the blessing Of a merciful Providence, to lluut‘8 Remedy. Another friend of mine InNew York, to whom I recommended Hunt's Remedy, was suffering severely from kidney disease, and was entirely cured of it after using this wonderful medicine only * short period. Feeling deeply grateful fori he great .benefits experienced by my friends and myself from the use of Uunt'a Remedy. I feel it to be my duty, as weH as a great privilege, to furnish yon this voluntary and unsolicited statement of facts for the Information of your largo number of readers, many of whom are undoubtedly suffering from this widely-spreadingscourge, and 1 believe that It Is the best medicine now known, and that it will cui e all cases of ktdneydlscases that can be cured.
