Snow Melting Machine That Dlapoees of the Snow In the ltoads Where tt Fulls—Dimensions of Animalcules Fonnd in Stagnant Waters.

A method is described in The Scientific American which has proven useful in giving students of tho microscope tome adequate idea of the dimensions of animalcules found In stagnant ^water.

FIG. 1—DRAWHTO THE TtTBB.

A drop of apparently clear water placed on a glass slide and put uuder the objective, will cnuse wonder and astonishment when tho multitudes of animaloulai* life are brought to view. There they arc, swimming, twisting, standing, but how large ure tbcyf Don't know, because thero is nothing to compare then with. Take piece of soft glass tubing and Mftcn it in the flame of a gas or alcohol lamp, and then draw it out into a very line thread, which will be a capillary tube (see Pig. 1). That it is a tube may be proved by inserting one end in water and blowing into the other end, when minute bubbles will rise.

Now insert this tube in a cup of stagnant water, and the water will readily enter it, rising, perhaps, several inches above the surface of the water in the cup (A in Fig. 2).

Snow Moltlngf 'Apparatus. ,\- A fiyatem of snow molting h"i been devised by Mr. F. Lyon, London. When it is considered that a fa.ll of snow 0 inches deop, over ono mile of road 60 feet wide, ninounts W:, cubic yards, the impossibility remov' ing it promptly by horses and carts is at apparent—tho more so when it is rememlxhV that some metropolitan vestries havo from & to 100 miles of road, and thus would havo to deal with from 800,000 to 600,000 cubic yards of snow, assuming a 0 inch fall to occur. The principle of Mr. Lyon'% invention, according to ticiontidc American, is that the snow can be dealt with in the roads on which it falls, when it is in light and fleecy condition, and therefore easily melted.

Tho apparatus consists of a wrought iron tube about 35 feet long, having a furnace at one end nd a short length of vertical pipe for a chimney at tho othor. The tube is made in lengths of 0 feet, and oach length is tapered so that they all fit into oach other and are closely packed for transport on wheels. When a fall of snow occurs the apparatus is to be laid along tho gutters of the roads to IKScleared, the width occupied being atout 4 foot. Afire i.« then to be lighted in the furnace, tho heat from which will pass along tho horizontal tube, which has a flatly arched ton. Tho snow in then to bo shoveled on to the neated tubo, which will melt it, the resulting water flowing away to tho nearest sully. A trial of this apparatus took place in the 8t Marleybone district in February, 1885, on some snow which had fallen long previously and hail been twico carted. Notwithstanding tho solidified condition of the now and tho imperfect condition of tho experimental apparatus, it is stated that 31

Sinls

of the consolidated snow, weighing 10 ns 8 cwt. 3 qra., and equal to 1H8 yards of ffathly fallen snow, were melted in ten hours with a consumption of coko of tho value of U. 7d., or under l^d. per ton.

A Remarkable Salt Bed.

One of the most remarkable salt beds in tbe world, says American Naturalist, is located on the isle of Petit Aran, southwestern Louisiana, 133 miles due west from New Orleans. Tbe deposit is pure crystal salt. So far as it has Iteen traced there are 150 acres of unknown depth explored 140 feet down. The surface of tho l*xl undulates from one foot above to six feet below tide level. By analyses the salt is 90.83 per cent pure. Tbe position of the salt shows it to be older than the coal and sandstone which lie above it.

Seal** in a Steam Boiler.

The very best way to prevent scales in a •team boiler, says ono who has tried it, is to use a feed water heater that will lr 't the scale by raising the temperature of tht» water in the heater high enough to liberate the soluble matter before tbe water gets into the boiler. Nobody ever heard of "bagged sheets" on a heater. We see one every day on boiler*. Don't let the scale in and it won't trouble you.

Drilling Holes tn Glass Plates. An experimenter tells of his successful experience in drilling boles three-sixteenths of at) inch in diameter through giant plates aboat one-eighth of an inch thick, by the use of an ordinary bow drill, with spirits of turpentine as lubricant Tbe botes were drilled from one side until tbe point of tbe drill just punctured the opposite side of the glass: then the glass was turned over and the holes finished by drilling from tbe opposite side.

The New Remedy for Cholera. "I see," said George W. Sloaii, the druggist, "in this afternoon's papers a dispatch from Panama which says that Pr#«nt»n and (Chilian papers are recommending cocoa as one of the best remedies for cholera and claiming that the leaf was used with marvelous success during the Paraguayan war. Tb-s is not the cocoa of commerce, but the leaf of a shrub something like the laurel, and is chewed like tobacco, with the addition of wood ashes or lime, either of these being added in no stronger proportion than salt is with meat. The fact is this is the leaf of the erythrozylon coca.

This leaf has been mentioned by travelers as used by Indians in South America while mountain climbing, with great burdens upon their shouldera or engaged in other heavy labor. The Indians carry a pouch of leaves, which they sprinkle with lime when they chew it, and by means of which they undergo great fatigue and go without food for many hours. Tho leaf is so powerfully stimulating that it is even found that persons who lie down in the vicinity of bales of the leaves are occasioned severe headache. The leaf has been used as a substitute for tea. It is four to five inches long and an inch and a half wide. Two or three leaves are sufficient to make tea for a half dozen persons. Tho alkaloid, cocaine, is made from this leaf, and while the leaf has been long known the peculiar anostbetic qualities as shown by the alkaloid have been of recent discovery.p— Indianapolis Journal. r&i* v-

In the Streets of Mexico.

In tho streets were burros laden with produce and merchandise, quaint looking country carts and Indians carrying loads to market on their backs. At every step one meets a peddler, and a very persistent peddler he is. Beggars are also to bo found, but they are not pleutiful. The streets are paved with stone. As the ground is very soft, each stono is cut so that it intersects the other. They aro laid closely and form a very smooth surface. The streets aro straight and inter sect each other at right angles, and are well lighted.

The sidewalks are laid with large slabs of cut stone and are very comfortable to walk on. Prisoners sweep the street daily and each property owner sprinkles daily in front of his residence or place of business. Altogether the principal streets of Moxico present a cleanly appearance and the atmosphere is free of smoke, as charcoal is used for fuel by all classes. The system of street lighting is quite novel. An oil lamp is suspended on wire reaching from house to house across the street at intervals in each block. At the corners are iron lamp posts supplied with gas. Every morning one can see a man and his assistants carrying a ladder from corner to corner. It is a hugo ono and shaped like an invoiced V. The servants place this at the postund tho lamplighter runs up and clean.1tho lantor.:. Tho oil lamp3 are gathered up cach morning to bo eleaned and refilled and aro replaced upon tho wire for their nocturnal duty.—City cf Mexico Cor. 8an Francis co Chronicle.

Portraits of tbe Speakers.

In the house corridor on tho south side of tho chamber, known as "tho speaker's lobby," aro hung a number of photographs and crayons of the various gentlemen who have lieen chosen to preside over tbe house. Most of these are indifferent pictures, those representing the earlier speakers being enlarged photograph?, copied from such pictures of the subjects as were obtainable. Information has been received from the governor of Massachusetts to the effect that an appropriation has been made by that stato to supply oil paintings of such citizens of the Bay state as have been speakers of the house. This is an example which will bo doubtless followed by the legislatures of other states, and in a few years, it is hoped, a valuabio and creditable collcction of oil paintings of all the men who have boon chosen to preside over the house will tako the place of the indifferent pictures that now hang upon the walls of tho speaker's lobby.—Cor.

USEFUL AND VERY ENJOYABLE ATHLETIC EXERCISE.

Carious Facts Aboat Babbits That Few People Except Old Hunters Understand—How a Gray Babbit Protected

Her Young—The Luminous Glow Worm

Decayed wood, and especially peat, has occasionally been observed to evolve a faint light, and even some flowers have been remarked to give out brilliant flashes of light during a warm summer's evening. This light, emitted without apparent neat, termed phosphorescence, as the younger readers of this column may not know, and is produced by several distinct means. ...

MALJS AND FEMALE GLOW WORM Various substances become luminous before putrescence has begun, and especially the flesh of certain fish, of which the most remarkable are carp and sole. Herring, lobsters und crabs often emit a phosphorescent light Most familiar of all phosphorescent objects to boys and girls is, however, the phosphorescence of living animals, such as the firefly and glow worm. The latter, represented in our cut, will bo recognized as an old and familiar friend by many readers. Tho hundred-legged worm found in decayed poplar wood or under lime, bricks and pots in the garden emits flashes of light when irritated by a little water. It may bo well to ex plain that the so called glow worm is not a worm, but a beetle.

Curious Facts About Babbits. Few people besides old hunters understand the position of a rabbit's feet in running.

Young sportsmen are astonished upon examining rabbit tracks for tbe first time to find, as they think, that they always run backward. The explanation of this unusual position of an animal's tracks is that as the rabbit springs tho foro feet strikes the surface near each other, whilo the hind feet are spread apart and brought to the ground some distance in advance outside of them. As these strike, tho fore feet, which have touched the surface but lightly, are lifted and the spring is again made with the hind legs alono.

Though naturally timid and unresisting, the rabbit will fljliD to protect its young. A naturalist tells in Golden Days how a gray rnbbit attacked a black snake wbich was molding ono of her young in its coils. She .'ought by springing over the snake and striking back her hind legs, delivering her blows vrith such force, precision and rapidity that che snake was struck every time. As she passed the snake aimed at her with his fangs, but only scratched oft a mouthful of hair now and then, and was getting the worst of it when the naturalist interfered.

Pole leaping is not only a useful but a very enjoyable athletic exercise, and requires no apparatus except a pole of some tough, hard wood, not liable to snap, and adapted to the height and strength of the young gymnast and to tho length of tho leaps he is to undertake. Begin with a short pole and practice leaping without a run. Rest ono end of the polo on the ground, holding it by both hands placed near each other a little above the head. Then spring up evenly on both feet, manag' ing tho arms so that the elbows are bent when the body passes the pole.-

Mpp 1

POLS LEAPING.

Push yourself forward at far as possible, leaning all your weight on tbe polo, and continue this practice, gradually increasing the distance of your leap.

For a horizontal leap with a run, stand at some distance frora the ipaco you wish to clear. Hold the pole with tho right baud abovo your head, thumb upward, and with the left hand at the height of the thigo. thumb downward. Then start with a run, keeping the lower end of tbe polo in front of you. On reaching the edge of the ditch or space you wish to jump stick the end of the pole into the earth, and by a sudden and powerful spring raise the body, leaning the weight on the arras as you rise, making a half turn as you clear th« space, and alight on the balls of the feet on the other side, bending the knees to break theforce of the dement The longer the distance you hare to leap the nearer tbe top must you grasp the pole, tbe distance between your bands and tbe lower end of tbe pole being in bet tbe radius of a half circle, of which your feet, in leaping, dascribe tbe circumference.

Low walls and fences tadf be jumped by means of tbe leaping pok. Hers becomes necessary to lift tbe feet high as you rise, so as to clear the wall, an-! as you descend bring the upper hand smartly down, so as to jerk tbe lower end of the leaping pole upward, that it may clear tbe walL

A FRENCHMAN'S MANNERS.

His Squirming* and Twin tings tho Poetry of Contortion—An Artistic Swindle, Many years ago 1 witnessed a leave taking on tbe platform of tho railway station at I Rome, Italy, which I never think of without associating it with the triumphant art of a

Frenchman's manner. The gentleman was a member of tbe French legation at Naples, lady and her daughter had come to see him off. He made his adieux inimitably expressive. His squirmings and twistings were the very poetry of contortion. You felt it was insincere, that he had perhaps gone through the same motions a thousand times before, but you couldn't deny that it was graceful and effective. The cheeks of the younger lady were pink with the emotion produ ed by the exuberance of his manner. She blushed, not because she was embarrassed, but because she liked it The subtle art of the fellow's demonstrations made you forgive him for being such a professional humbug. ,V

And this reminds me to say that no other man can maneuver his backbone in making a bow as a Frenchman can. He perfectly illustrates the idea expressed by tho dictum that a curved line is the line of beauty. An Englishman rarely inclines tho body in saluting a lady, and when he does, if your taste is exacting, you wish be hadn't. The American considers it enough to take off bis hat. saves his spine and it is the conventional thing to do. But when a Frenchman salutes his entire anatomy is absorbed in the act. Every joint in his body is brought into play, Every muscle feels the tension of the demand. Fvery nerve center recognizes tho importance of the occasion. Viewed simply as a pantomime it strike your admiration. The effect is most impressive, and when the object of it is an imaginative and sensitive woman you are disposed to pardon her betrayal of satisfaction.

Nevertheless, there is a disillusionizing ^ense that the the whole thing is an artistic swindle. His affections are no keener, bis sympathies no deeper, his perceptions no liner than those of other men. He may havo more quicksilver in bis blood, more of the monkey in his suppleness, find more attraction in outward form and take greater delight in mere ceremonial, but at heart and in truth he is not the incomparable chevalier The master of mode and the knight examplar nt etiquette is not tho genuine expositor of real gallantry.—Brooklyn Eagle. -i f.

Ingersoll on Ella Wheeler Wilcoi.i "You have written won-der-ful lines. You make won-der-ful poetry. It delights me to read it, and I am truly glad to meet you."

Such were the words of gracious, honest end earnest greeting to Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the fair poetess, by the great iconoclast, Mr. Robert G. Ingersoll, on the occasion of one of his late receptions at his home in New York. It was a social incident of no ordinary intercut, this bailing each other of these two ships of genius as tbey passed by on the ocean of time, each bearing its precious cargo of human heart food the coming together of the very extremes of strength and tenderness of the most beautiful and soul stirring eloquence of the age.

He held ber hand some time in his, and gased earnestly down into tho fair, childlike, happy face so eagerly searching his, very much as if he were going to stoop and kiss it, "Ut be did not, you know—be only looked so. Mr. Ingersoll was born looking so.

The gathering was a large and brilliant one, and Mrs. Wilcox was the center of attraction throughout the evening. Sho woo treated with marked distinction by her distinguished host, who sought her frequently, and together they carried on little duets of converse not often.excelled in charm, ,even in New York parlors. One little strain, for in •stance: "I hold you to be mistress of rhythm," he «aid, "and I am a great believer in rhythm, «ouplcd with thought, of course. Do you know," he continued, "what rhythm is? It is •he riso and fall, the swish and swing of tbe blood in the human frame, produced by omotlon, whether in poetry or music whether grave or gay, courageousorfearful, malicious or loving whether the surging tides of passion, the dancing ripples of innocent joy, or tne placid calm of satisfaction flowing on under tho clear, bright 6kies of a cloudless conscience."—New York Journal.

Hot Water In Northern China. There is a curious custom practiced in northern China of using hot water every morning to wash tho facc and hands. Men, women and children must havo a basin of clean hot water when they get up. or before they cat their breakfast, in wbich to bathe L'eet and bands at least. Even beggars have hot water or use none at all. Seaso..s do not affect tho custom. In summer, when one would think a cold bath would be grateful, hot water is used all the satno. No oue would insult his guest by offering cold water to wash in. The water is almost scalding hot, and the towel for wiping is first used as a wash raj,*. City people use little cakes of soap, which removes dirt better than foreign soap. Councry people aro often too poor to buy it, or it not convenient to get. Foreigners think this hot water bathing weakens tho eyes. Certainly no one can live in China without noticing the number of sore eyes which he xtos.—The Argonaut.

THE STORY OF A WIG.

A Funny Incident Which Occurred at the Theatre in Pari*—Humiliation. The mention of Cambridge reminds me, although the connection is not very close, how a party of Americans were taken through a European tour last summer by a professor living in that classic town, from whoha, it may be well to state, I did not hern* this story. In the party was one Mrs. A., a sort of an authoress, who did not have tho good fortune to make herself popular with her fellow travelers. One evening several of the company attended the theatre in Paris, and Mrs. A, conspiculously arrayed with a splendor somewhat more youthful than her years warranted, rather rudely insisted in putting her-, self into the best place. Another lady ventured mildly to protest that Mrs. A was taking up the room of two, and that she, personally, was very poorly placed, but nothing was effected by this remonstrance. Mrs. A, conspicuous and triumphant, sat and plumed herself in the box, until by some dreadful chance she leaned too far forward, and down into the box below went the wig with which she was accustomed to cover her scanty locks.

The unhappy woman uttered a shriek and retreated to the back of the box, where she covered her head with a handkerchief and wept bitterly. Miss B., the lady who bad shortly before tried to induce Mrs. A. to be reasonable in ber claims on the space in the box, now came gallantly to the rescue. She suppressed her laughter, and began a mental review of her French, so that by the end of the act she felt compensated to grapple with the situation iu the tongue of the land. Leaniug over she managed by calls, coughs, and more or less intelligible exclamations to attract the attention of the gentlemen in the box below. The wig had fallen back of their chairs, so it was some time before the Frenchmen could comprehend what was the desire of the brigliteyed American lady who, with her face wickedly full of mischief, was addressing them from the box above.

An understanding was at last arrived at, however, and with all the politenes and grace of his nation one of the strangers elevated the wig on the point of his cane, and in the face of the whole opera house it rose from one tier of boxes to the other. The audience applauded, the unfortunate owuer of the head gear moaned in the corner, while with the air of a goddess of liberty, who stoops to rescue a nation from a depth of slavery, Miss B. leaned over and secured the truant tresses. Tbe incident is, of course, less funny in the telling than it was in the acting, but it may be inferred that at least for a few days Mrs. A. was somewhat subdued.—Arlo Bates in Proyl^enco Journal.

Analysed the Ashes.

Two 1 Minis said to be filled with unthrashed wheat were rocently bumod in Germany. They were insured, but it was impossible to collect, bccauso tho claim was made that tho contents of (ho barns wero simply straw. When tho uilair got into the courts, chemical experts were called to analyze tho ashes. Wheat contains a large quantity of phosphoric acid, almost ten times as much as docs straw. Naturally, in the burning of these barns, wood ashes, cement, and other mineral substances were mixed with the ashes submitted to the chemists, but none of these admixtures contain phosphoric acid. The experts found that of two samples placed in their hands one contained 10.2 per cont. and the other 19 per cent, of the acid, thus proving conclusively that the farmers were iu the right, and tbe insurance companies in tho wrong.—Fireman's Herald.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefitted the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Especially is this the case with Green's August Flower and Boschee's German Syrup, as tbe reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of tho bottles'containintr these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in tho 75 cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and tho German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sal® of any medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries.
