SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM OF ANTHROPOLOGY.

Snccessfal Experiment with a Nickel Plated Lightning llod—A Peculiar Combination of IJridge, Cable Car anl Ferry

Boat, Known a* the Traveling Dridsc.

In the hnrbor of «St. Mnlo, France, a pecu-! liar combination of bridge, cnble car sfiid ferry lxat lias Iwen for fifteen years successfully usel to convcy passengers nnd vehicles •cross to the town of Saint-Servan.

A TRAVELING BRIDGE.

1

The illustration here given represents this traveling nriilgo, as it is termed in Popular Science News. At high tide the water reaches nearly to the top, and the bridge presents a strange tipjt'o ranee as it travels across tho water like some gigantic insect. The structure is about thirty-throe feet high, nnd moves ujwn rails laid 011 tho bottom of the harbor. It i* built n» lightly as is consistent with safety, so ns to avoid friction in passing through the water. The motive power is applied by wiro cables, connected with a stationary engine. The distance traversed is about 275 feet, and tho trip is made in a minute and a half. No accident has ever occurred, and communication has never been interrupted by wind or weather. Tin's system of transjMrtntion is specially adapted to small harbors or streams, where an ordinary bridge is impracticable on account of expense or interference with navigation ajid there are doubtless many localities 111 this country where a Bimilar institution would be a public convenience if ml paying investment,

Ilnnk AVorinw anil Their Food.

Tho bo )U worms—that is, the larva that cats book and binding—is named, according to Mr. Sydney Klein, tenebrio mollitor, and Is a coleopter. It is attracted by the gluten in tho paste employed in binding the books. The* tenebrio find rich jm-stures in the books of today, when these are not medicated.

Light is afforded on the subject of medication by Mr. Ilusscl Gabbins. Ills tcnebrios showed a decided preference for dark colored paper, wliilo light yellow paper, almost without exception, cscaijed. One of the papers that escaped was a light green—an arsenical paper. Popular Science, commenting on the ubovo, suggests that tho light yellow paper was probably colored with chrome yellow, chromite of load. So it appears that the inflect may bo fought by exercising judgment in coloring the pajcrs which are to receive the paslo.

Abnormal Growth of Ilalr.

Tho abnormal growth of hair over the entire body of individuals of tho human race, of which instances are not rare, is caused, according to tho statement of Professor Mason, by tho poisistenco of tho prenatal, downy hair, or rather tho non-development of the hair follicles. This persistence of tho embryonal cotet ing fs shown,

APRIEN TKSTICIIKW.

A correspondent in Science recalls tho case of Adi ion Testichow, the Ilussion "dog man," whose picture is here given, as a remarkable illu«tMitiou of this abnormal growth of the hair. and explains that this hair is not always wift mul downy but may, through pathological conditions, bo coarso like that of the udult Toe animal or dogliko appearance of Teetichew is also probably as striking as any evi l- observed. A family of the Sixteenth century, however, presented a very similar aspect. In this family, tho father, son and daughter were all covered, according to descriptions now extant, over the entire body with long Imir, with tho exception of a space below tho eyes.

Tho notable case of Julia Pastrana, of Mexico, may also bo cited. She was a most repulsive looking person, tho hair of the head, forehead ami face Iteing coan» like ordinary hair, and her cheeks and nose nearly bare. Another (mint of interest in these abnormal cases is tho tendency shown to heredity. Thrice has the anomaly leen developed in the second generation, and once, in the Birraan family, in the third.

It will be placed 4,441 feet below the summit of tho mountain, will bo 35,000 feet long and will give direct communication between the valleys in the Atlantic slope and those of the Pacfle side, with a shortening of some 300 miles in the transmontane distances.

A Nickel Lightning Kod.

It is reported that the experiment of placing nickel plated lightning rod on a building has been successfully tried in Dresden. The advantages claimed by advocates of this metal aro that, being non-corrodible, it will last longer than iron, and will also keep bright at the points, which latter is very essential to the efficiency of rods as conductors of electricity.

How to Determine Death.

IL IVyrand affirms that one of tfae best means of determining the death of an individual is cauterisation by Vienna paste. If the eschar forms slowly, and is of a yellow color or transparent, death may be positively declared, while if it red, brown or black, life still exists. ________

Cnriotis Queries from Every Department Answered In this Column. Wfll yon p'.ease state the best time made by any ocean steamer in crossing the Atlantic? X.

In December, 1884, the Oregon, a steamer of the Cunard line, made the trip from New York to Queenstown, a distance of 3,230 miles, in 0 days, 6 hoars and 41 minutes. This record was beaten in August, 1885, by the Etruria, also a Canard steamer, which made the trip from Queenstown to New York in 0 days, 5 hours and 44 minutes. Formerly these trips were reckoned from Liverpool to New York. Now they are reckoned from Queenstown to Sandy Hook. The old time— twenty-live years ago—was about ten days. Sailing vessels made it in from about twenty days to two months.

Please state through your columns whether there Have been any theatres burned in the States Bince tho Brooklyn theatre, where lives were lost. If so, where and how many lives were lost A

SUBSCRIBER.

There have been several theatre fires since the Brooklyn theatre burned. Accurate information on this subject can only be obtained, if at ail, from tho superintendents of firo patrols of the large cities. At the bin ning of tho Temple theatre at Philadelphia recently two firemen's lives were lost. A curious circumstance occurred at this fire. A number of wax figures wero destroyed, leaving only two unharmed. These were the figures of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.

Au Unfrocked Priest.

Seeing a statement that Dr. McGlynn. the Roman Cntholie priest in New York wlio advocates Henry OeorgoV land theories, has been "unfrocked I would like to, know what i3 meant by tho term "unfrocked." M. O.

An unfrocked priest is ono who has been deprived of the privilege of performing his priestly functions, such as saying nrtss or baptizing, marrying or giving communion to the jwople. Cut lie remains always a priest, and can in a great emergency perform these duties. Pgr instance, in case of danger of immediate death, he can hear tho dying person's confession and give absolution.

Tl»o Story of Santa Claim.

Under the head of "Questions and Answers," will you ba kind enough to inform me what is the origin of t'.io story of Santa Claus? II. Y. Z.

Tho cm lo:n originated in Ilolland. St. Nicholas is said to have been bishop of Myra, nnd to have died in tho year JJ2G. IIo was fond of children, and became their patron saint. IIo is said to have supplied thrco destitute widows with marringo portions by secretly leaving money at their windows. This occurred just Leforo Christmas, and all the children in Flanders and Holland eamo to believe that Santa Claus, or Knecht Ciobcs,' as they called him, would put a prizo in their shoes nnd stockings for good conduct on Christmas night. From Ilolland the custom spread to other parts of Christendom.

Non-Transparency of Steam.

Why is it that water is transparent and steam is not, though st am is only heats water? E. Steam only bocomcs non-transparent when it coincs in contact with tho air. It is claimed that steam within a boilor is gaseous. The reason why water is transparent and free steam is not is that pure water at rest is of uniform deusity, and tho light rays, though refracted, pass through it. Freo steam is vapor of different degrees of density, so that tho rays entering it aro not uniformly refracted. r.nd therefore neutralize each other. A good illustration is cross seas making the water smooth. 1

The First Settlement.

Can you settle a point of history I want to know when and where tho first settlement was made on the continent of America. HISTORY.

The first settlement was made at Darien, by the Spaniards, in 1510.

British India.

What are tho British possessions In India? Who established tho British power thejp. L. British India is a tract of country lying south of Afghanistan, Turkestan and Thibet, and jutting between tho Arabian sea and the Gulf of Bengal into the Indian ocean. It extends over an area of 1,525,540 square miles and has a population of 257,000,000. Within its limits arc the Himalaya mountains, including Mts Everest, the highest mountain in tho world. Its plains are watered by the Indus and the Gauges, two rivers mentioned in the earliest histories of tho world,

The first Bast India company was established by Queen Elizabeth in lflOO. The French and Portuguese also made settlements. The rival companies of England and France came into collision in 1740 and a young Englishman named Clive commenced a brilliant scries of successes which resulted in the expulsion of tho French and the establishment of tho British empire.

Basket and Stones. ,i. •,

None of our native birds seem more domestic in their nature and to confide more readily in their friendship of man, than does the swallow. Other species of birds often disappear as a country settles up, but swallows, on the contrary, abandon their original habit of attaching nests to cliffs and rocks, in order to come closer to human dwelling places, building their nests inside of chimneys, attaching tbetn to projections of the house, to the roof of an open died, or inside of barns. There are many species of swallows, and they are found over a large part of the world.

gWALL

OW.

One of the most interesting specics, says The American Agriculturist, is the eavts or cliff swallow, which constructs its nest under the eaves, cornice or any other projecting part of a house. It is very entertaining to watch these swallows in nest building and tho care of their young. The nest is made of bits of tnud or clay united with the bird's own jaliva, which is of a sticky nature, and it is compared in shape to a Florence flask or ourd. The nests are lined with dried grass and feathers, and larce numbers of them are sometimes built in close proximity.

Another species that is a great favorite in ?ur country because it is hailed as the harbinger of spring, is tho purple swallow or purple martin, as it is variously termed. Its color is a shining purplish blue with black wings and tail. It will even frequent the streets of towns and readily makes its nest in loxes or other shelters provided. The nest itself consists merely of feathers, leaves, moss and tho like.

Swallows feed entirely upon insects, catching them in the air and when on the wing, circling and darting swiftly hither and thither,they seize upon their prey. Our native swallows and such as appear in the colder parts of the world are summer birds of passage, migrating to warmer regions when winter

approaches

anil insects disappear.

Though exceedingly graceful and strong on tho wing, most swallows are possessed of such short and Weak legs as to make their attempts at walking very awkward indeed. -p

The Basket and Stones.

If 100 stones aro placed in a straight line, a yard distant from each other, how many yards must a person walk who undertakes to pick them up ono by one and put them into a basket, placed also a yard from the first stone?

Answer: It is clear that to pick i^p the stone and put it into tho basket the persoii must walk two yards, on6 in going for the stone and tho other in returning with it that for the second stone ho must walk four yards, and so on, increasing by two as far as the 100th, when he must of necersity walk 200 yards, so that the sum total v. ill be tho product of 202, multiplied by 50, or 10,100 yards, which amounts to more than flye niiles .ftnd a

An Amusing Shadow Play.

sf"L*

An entertainment that will cause young folk much sport and many a hearty laugh, may be found in tho play called shadow buff. Though oven more amusing than tho well known blind man's buff, it differs from the latter, because among other points, the. chief player, "Buff," is not blindfolded.

SHADOW BUFF.

As may be seen in the cut, a large piece of white cloth is fastened neatly up at one end of the room, so that it hangs perfectly smooth.

Buff seats himself on a low stool with his face to the cloth, a table, on which is alighted candle, is placed four or five feet behind him, and tbe rest of the lights in the room are extinguished. BufTs playfellows next pass in succession between the candle and him, distorting their features in as grotesque a manner as possible, hopping, limping and performing various odd antics so as to mako their shadows very unlike their usual looks. Buff must then try to guess to whom the shadows belong and, if be guesses correctly, the player whose shadow he recognised, takes his place. But one guess is allowed for each person, and Buff must not turn his head either to right or left to see who passes.

The Philosopher's Puzzle.

The philosopher, Pythagoras, being asked how many pupils received instruction from him replied: "Compute the number thyself one-half of my pupils study mathematics, one-fourth natural philosophy, one-seventh observe silence, and besi.la those I have three female pupils." The question is to find oat a number, the one-half, one-fourth and oneseventh of which, plus 3, shall be equal to that number.

TERRE HATJTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

TJIE LAND OF BURNS.

TOURIST'S ACCOUNT OF A TRIP FROM DUMFRIES TO AYR.

A. Nation of An^lomaniacs—Change of Accent—A Land Where Everything is Kept in Order—ltobert Burns* Cottage.

The lilg Relic ltoom.

The accent began slowly to change as we swept north. By the time we were bundled out of our beautiful red velvet coupo at Carlisle it had hardened very perceptibly. When we had landed in Liverpool the effect of hearing the Engish accent everywhere was peculiar. Coming fresh from the land where it is a matter of derision for tho small wit?, and oven the native English who employ it are suspected of affectation, a whole nation seemed to be struck with an attack of Anglomania. But it was more curious still to hear the soft English give way before tho rude gales of tho north, and change most perceptibly hour by hour, till at last, at Dumfries, it was thick enough to tell us that wo were in Scotland.

Wo were in the land of Burns—for at Dumfries his monuments begin—and the mere mention of his name sets the Scotch tongues a-wagging. Burns died at Duratries, and there is a beautiful monument to his memory in the yard of St. Michael's. But though Dumfries claincd him at his death, Ayr claimed him at his birth, and Ayr is forty miles away—a very considerable distance in Scotland. So long a journey involved another change of train, for though Ayr is known the world over in letters, from a railroad point of view it is on obscure place. So we were whirled to the market town of Hilmarnock, to catch the littlo branch railway. Our beautiful red velvet coupo had degenerated to gray corduroy at Carlisle, and at Kilmarnock we had another drop to blue felt.

There is scarcely a man from Dumfries to Ayr who cannot recita you almost every poem that Burns ever wrote, and tho tinicct lad or lass will point out to you the braes of Balloclimylo, tho castle of Montgomery, or tho banks o' Doon, and tell you which ono of Bobbie Burns' many sweethearts lived there.

EVERYTHING IN ORDER.

Everything seems to be in order in Scotland, especially in the west countree. We went through miles of swelling land where the fields wero newly plowed, and every furrow was as straight as an arrow. The hedges wore as trim as in England. There was not a blade of culivated grass awry, and the humble, simple little cottages, plain to the last degree, all alike and without one single attempt at architectural ornament, wero ^cch and all as clean, well kept and iresh as a good housewife's dresser. Even the moors at tho edge of tho horizon, not yet purple with the August heat, looked trim and swept, and anything but wild.

The train pulled Up with a little snort abbut 8 in the afternoon, and we found ourselves at Ayr. Another change of accent. The man of Ayr speaks as differently from the man of Dumfriesshire as Dumfriesshire is different from tho man of Carlisle.

One does not wonder so much that Bobby Burns became a poet when one gets into his pretty, fresh, green little country. It is the most inspiring little land in the world, with its tricksy skies, its blue moors, its moist greenness and its world of traditions. One looks at the hardy peasants toiling in the fields, and it all soems very poetical indeed. One can easily pick a "Highland Mary" or a "bonny Joan" from among those large limbed peasant women at a distance, since distance 'tis that lends enchantment to the view.

But the wonder of it all, the marvel of this peasant poet's soul only comes home to you as you bend your head to enter the door of his lowly dwelling, his cottage hut—no name could be too simple for its simplicity. As you pass through the inevitable turnstile you find that it has but the two rooms of every Scotch peasant's home, "but the hoose" and "ben the lioose." "Ben the hooso" is what the old time Yankees used to call thekeepin' room. "But tho hooso" is where all tho living seems to be done. For the mother's short bed with its cotton curtains stands in one corner, tho tall, old eighV day clock stands silent at its foot, as if, having ticked at the death and birth of Bobbie Burns, it had done its life work and stopped. For these old Scotch clocks never wear out. There was a well filled dresser in another corner, and from the crane i:i tho great open fireplace somo black pots still hung. There wero some old tables and chnirs which Bobbie had mutilated with his own unconscious poet's hand, and the sinking sto:io f.eor was the same over which his baby feet toddled long before any one could kno-v of his divine gift.

THE BIG RELIC ROOM.

The big relic room is filled with mementos of Burns, many of them so slight that only the most loving hand would have collected them, for what mementos could there be in the short and simple annals of a peasant's life? Being a poet, his manuscripts are his chief relics, and many of them are here under glass. There are quantities of poems to Burns, many of them—the best of them, indeed—by American poets. Srangely enough, the poem by Fitz Greene Halleck— one of tho best Burns poems over written, though it seems to be an unfamiliar one—is not in tho collection. The chairs occupied by Tarn O'Shanter and Souter Johnny upon that melancholy occasion when they "boozed at the nappy," occupy a raised dais at the end of the room, and no one less immortal than this worthy twain has ever been allowed to occupy them since these gentlemen passed into verse.

The cottage keeper, ashrewd,' rosy Scotchman, with as merry an eye as ever twinkled, finding us an enthusiastic group, read "Tam O'Shanter" to us from the original manuscript. How deliciously it sounded, rolling freshly from the lips of a native Scotchman there upon its very own ground and with the very own handwriting of the poet before oqr eyes, with Alio way and tbe banks o' Doon just out the window, and all the pretty country that be enchanted rising up around as. He lufti a turn for humor, our Scotch reader, and when-he came to those passages which in these days would be called Swinburneian, but in thpse days were only Burnian, he rolled his merry eyes drolly, to see if, being but stupid Americans, we took tbe point.—"Betsy B." in The Argonaut.

Fifteenth Army Corps Badge. Gen. Logan was responsible for the adoption of the "cartridge box and forty rounds" ss the badge of the Fifteenth army corps. At tbe battle of Missionary Ridge the Eleventh and Twelfth corps had adopted badges, the fanner a crescent and the bitter a star. A member of one of these corps sarcastically inquired of an Irishman belonging to the Fifteenth corps: "Say, Paddy, wbars is our corps badge?" The Irishman replied, slapping his cartridge box: "There, be jabers is me badge, with forty rounds in it." Logan heard at it, and by an order formally promulgated ordered the adoption of the cartridge box marked forty rounds as the fodge rf his corps.—Philadelphia Times.

The Charm of Wearing Gems. One of iie charms of wearing a gem is a consciousness of its indestructibility, its permanency, and, if ono may say

EO,

of its per­

sonality—the mystery of nature's methods in its slow crystallization in dark telluric -lepths, of the glance of imprisoned powers shut up within its walls, a remembrance of tho vaguo old idea of their potency—all this and more, to many minds, has cs much forco as tho inherent beauty of the thing itself. Who knows what spirit, what one of tho genii, what cabalistically commanded sprite is shut up in tho fiery depths of the ruby, with its purplo blue corners, of the pigeon Llood tinge, in tho heavenly color and brilliancy of tho sapphire, in tho sea green water depths of emerald or beryl?

There is always a fascination in its sparkle, both when we wear it and see another woar it., or when we lift it from its dark hiding place in tho casket where wo keep it, as it looks up at us with its lidless, deathless glance of beauty. But a bit of glass, however prettily colore!—what spirit is there in that, mndn by ft man, according to a formula— what spell can the most vivid imagination conjure up in its ray—what mystery lurks in a thing that any clown can put togothor? Nothing of tho poetical or romantic attaches to the wearing of the colored glass, the artificial gem—mere lovo of show und glitter and ostentation enter into that.—Harper's Bazar.
