(otmitlnK Statistics About ttie Coal Production In the (United States—A PleuiDK Experiment with a Coin Illusitrated und Described.

The experiment illustrated in the accompanying cut was recently described in La JJatnre.

It may tluw bo lifted without trouble, and if the upper part be then tdown.-against it will revolt® with great rapidity lietween the two pins as :an axis. The eiigrasang shows the modus operandi.

1!he Borneo Orangr*.

Mr W, f". Hornnday, in Science, «ays regarding the«orang as observed by him in its native forests: "Each individual «f the Borneo crjaig* differs from his fellows, and has as many fccial peculiarities lelongiiig to himself aloneiae can le found in the individuals of any unmixed race of human beings." After rerounthig the many traits of theorang, heretofone raganded as peculiar to man, he says: "Let any «e who is prejudiced against Darwinian views go to the forests of Borneo let him there watch from day to day this strangely huraam form in all its various phases of existence let him see it climb, walk, build its uofft, eat and drink, and fight, like human'rouglw let him see the female suckle her )'Oung amd carry it astride her hip precisely ns do the ooolie women of Hindostan let him witness their human like emotions of affection, satisfaction, pain and childish rage."

Coal Pro«lii«tUia in the United States. The following statistics have been compiled for the United States geological survey and are of general interest: The total production of all kinds of c«il lu 1886, exclusive of that consumed at the mines, known ns colliery consumption, was 107,682,200 short tons, valued at 1147,112,755 at the mines. This may be divided inio Pennsylvania anthracite, 86,G9tt,475 short or IW, 7114,710 luug tons, valued at $71,558,120 all other coals, including bituminous, brown coal, lignite, and small lots of anthracite produced in Arkansas and Colorado, 70.98.1,7 14 short tons, rained at $75,554,620. The total production, iucluding colliery consumption, was: Pennsylvania anthracite, 84,853,077 long or 811,085.448 short tons all other coals, 7a,707,057 short tons making the total absolute production of all coals in the United Btatc* 112.74:S.40S liort tons, valued as follow*: Anihru-ito. i7G, 110,120 bituminous, $78,4S1,05T total value, 8154,000,170. The total production of nil kinds of coal shows a net gain of 1,785.831 short tons compared with UVi*, but a loss in spot value of *4,410,420.

Nickel Crucibles.

It. JM well known that pure nickel is one of the toughest of nil the metals, and that it 1u*es only at very high temperature. It

IIAS

very fine grain, takes a high polish, and is very compact and unalterable. These qualiliesliave led to its being employed for crucibles and evaporating dishes. For many purpose*, nnscrts J. A. U'anklyn in Chemical News, crucibles of pure nickel are quite as •erviceablo as platinum crucibles and they are much cheajter, costiiv: only about oneteuth as much as platinum. They stand the action of alkalies remarkably well there was no alteration in the weight or tho crucible after caustic potash had been fused in it Hydrochloric acid in the cold, whether dilute or concentrated, may be used to clean out these crucible*, and no alteration in weight is the result. Cold oil of vitriol is likewise without action but concentrated nitric acid attacks them, causing rapid loss of weight-

Time Nece*mrjr to Feel Cold and Heat. It is well known that a cold sensation reaches tho consciousness more rapidly than a sensation of warmth. Dr. Goldscheider, of Berlin, whose researches on the hot and cold joints of the skin have gained him a high reputation, h«s, it is claimed, at last accurately measured the length of time necessary to perceive these sensations. The observations were made on jwirts equally sensitive to heat and cold, and with intensities of heat and cold equally different from the temperature of the part Tho time of contact was recorded electncally by means of a metallic button tlxed to the skin. Contact with a cold point was felt oil the face after 13.5. on the arm after 1*. on tho abdomen after 22,on the knee after 25 hundredths of a second. The sensation of a hot jxmit was felt on the same surfaces after 10, 27, (»2 and 70 hundredths of a second, resjHvtivcly. Tliis great difference in time has an important theoretical bearing on the physioUv-v of dermal sensations.

llolm lii Shells Accounted For. Y'»u sometimes see shells along our shores having a hole in their side. This hole is perfectly rum'. aiul is Ooveied or -counter sunk. It seems to have been made artificially and with great caro. How is it to le accounted for? Anoi her shell, the common cockle, which is found iu great numbers all along our shores, lias done the mischief. It has a tongue, furnished with rows of teeth, giving it a resemblance to a tile. When the little creature is hungry, it finds another shell containing a living inhabitant It at once fastens itvlf to it, and by mean* of Its teeth covered tongue commences boring or filing a hole, and continue* at this employment until it ha* gotten through the shell to the living inhabitant within. This what it was after. It has found its food, and can now at its leisure makes its meal

gMMSklng About Alaska's Population Products, Climate, Cost. The United States-census for 18S0 gives the population of Alaska at33,428, of which only 4®6.are White all the rest are native, lit is a mistake to suppose that the temperature of *i««ln is always low, the climate being very much milder .than that -of the corresponding latitude on the east, coast of $orth America. This is owing to the Influence of the3£uro 8i wecr tie gulf stream of the Pacifie and the cnnBght of the long Arctic day in summer. The winter in tbe«onth is by no means verj-oold. At Sitka sound ice is never formed, and the winter tempera tare is about that of Washington, D. C. The rainfall is copious, and foggy weather is common on the coasts and fai«nd« Hence there are many streams, of which the Yukon, Kuskoquim, Tananah and Stikine are worthy of mention. The Yukon is navigable i\ summer some 706 miles. Timber is abundant everywhere, and there is a plentiful supply of fish. The principal revenue, bowerer, is derived from tna fur trade. cr,

The territory was ceded to the United States by Russia in 1867, oa payment of $7,200,000. The United States government derives from the rents of the islands and the tax on sealskins an annual income of £317,000, and has already received from this source alone more than the full faee value of the purchase money for Alaska.

Metal a la the Ocean.

Gold is very widely distributed in nature, and it has revealed itself in many quarters unexpectedly. Late researches have shown that it exists in appreciable quantities in the water of the ocean. A ton of sea water yields, by a simple process, a grain of gold, so that the total quantity held in solution must be vastly greater than all the gold ever yet extracted from the earth. Copper and silver are, however, found in the sea in larger quantities than gold. Copper, indeed, is present in some parts of the ocean to such an extent that clean and polished iron dragged in the wake of a ship during a short voyage has been observed to come np with a film of that metal precipitated on it Silver, too, i* found in combination with the old and worn coppering of ships to such an extent as to make it worth while to ex. ract it It has been computed from some analyses of such copper, compared with the total distance run through by the ship and the time of its remaining attached, that at least 2,000,000 tons of silver are thus held in solution in the whole ocean.

Natural Gas.

Inflammable gas, capable of producing light and heat, is generated in vast quantities within the earth in the vicinity of carbonaceous deposits, and often in connection with beds of rock salr. As yet no way has en devised of limiting the flow of gas, and all that cannot be utilized goes to waste. At Hurraysvillc. Pa., the largest well yields about SO,000,000 cubic feet in twenty-four hour*, and of this only a small portion can be utilized. The surplus escapes through a six-inch pipe, which i* carried up to a height of about twenty feet from the ground. The initial velocity is such that the gas does not ignite withiu several feet of the end of the pipe. Whether the supply is destined shortly to give out, in consequence of the increasing and wasteful demauds at present made upon it, is problematical but the unvarying flow of tho best wells seems to indicate that for many years to come no fears need be enter* tallied of exhausting the supply."

White and lllaek Squall.

A white squall is one which produces no diminution of light This furious and dangerous gust appears in clear weather without any other warning than the white foam it occasions on the surface of the sea and a very thin haze. It usually breaks upou a vessel when she is totally unprepared for such a strain upon her canvas and consequently proves one of the most dangerous forms of tho sailor's existence. A black squall i* far less dangerous, us it is usually preceded by an accumulation of dark clouds and accompanied by heavy rain. Timo ir thus given to trim sails and to avert peril.

The International Tongue. Volapilk, the new international language, was devised by Father Bchleyer, a German priest, and published in 1881. It now has 100,000 students in Europe. Six periodicals are devoted to it and about sixty societies are striving to iutroduco it It- aims to embody what is best in all great languages, with none of the bad points, and as English is more widely spoken than any other tongue, Volapilk is forty per cent. English. There are no irregular verbs and no irregular inflections.

John Bnll.

This appellation as applied to the English people is first found in Arbuthnot's ludicrous "History of Europe,'' a book sometimes erroneously ascribed to Dean Swift In this satire Arbutlmot calls the French Lewis Baboon and the Dutch Nicholas Frog. "John Bull." a comedy, by Gcorgo Coleman the younger, was performed in 1805. The John Bull, a Tory newspaper, supported by Theodore Hook, was first published in 1820.

A Perfumed Stone.

"Violet stones" area species of porous rock found iu the Hartz mountains. The moss known as violet moss, which emits an odor similar to that of violets, covers tfce stone thickly and fills its porous surface. The odor Is said to bo retained sometimes for years, and is increased by moistening the stone. They are much sought after in Europe as a means of permanently perfuming toilet articles.

A Descendant of Washington. George Washington Parke Custie, the adopted son of Georgw Washington, married in early life Miss Mary Leo Fitathugh, of Virginia, and left a daughter, who married Robert E. Lee. After 1S58 he was the sole surviving member of Washington^ family. He was the youngest child of John Parke Costis, a son of Mrs. Washington by her first ho» tand.

The Largest Cities in the World—A Great Mountain of Ice Driven by Wind* and Moved by Ocean Currents—The Effect of Mosie on Animals*

An iceberg Is a great monutain of ice, which, after being -detached from a still larger mass in the Arctic regions, floats away on its lonely voyage, driven by winds, or moved by ocean currents, often crashing against another berg, or against some unfortunate ship which is certain to be destroyed in the en-

An iceberg is often seen by passengers on board our ocean steamers, going from America to England, at ceiotin seasons of tho year, but althongh a dazzling, beautiful sight, sailors always avoid it if they possibly can on account of tbe danger of collision. Great flocks of sea birds nestle in the crevices of icebergs, while seals often rest upon their surface, diving into the water when they wish for food, and returning to the berg as to their home. Polar bears have also been seen in the same situation, having probably been carried out to sea against their will, when tbe berg was first detached from the stationary

Illstorle Origin of a Common Phrase. Tho common saying of "Tho tune that tho old cow died of' was doubtless introduced into this country by early Scotch or Irish immigrants tho phrase is a very usual one in tho mouths of the peasantry of the north country foil:. It arose, so say Scotch authorities, out of an old song: Thore was an old man, and he had an old cow,

And he had nothing to give her So he took out his fiddle and played her a tuneConsider, good cow, consider This is no tiaie of the year for the grass to grow—

Consider, good cow, consider. The old cow, as may be surmised, died of hunger, and when any melancholy tune or song is heard the peasautry say: "That is tbe tune the cow died of."

The Garden Pussle.

Uncle Anthony has a garden in the form of a quadrangle. In it he has planted twelve trees as represented in the picture here given:

He has divided this garden id such a Way that each of his four sons has an equal portion, each portion, too, having a similar form and containing three tree*. How is the garden to be divided so that this result may be obtained?

ainslo and Animals.

Almost everyone has witnessed one time or another tbe power of music over animals. The educated horse of tbe circus owes a great dml to the influence of music he marches, trots, galops, advances, retreats, and even dances to tbe lively strains of the orchestra. On sheep and cattle, music, both vocal and instrumental, has a highly beneficial effect There is a poetic saying among the Arabs, that the song of tbe shepherd fattens the tbeep more than tbe richest pasture of the plains, and tbe saying rests no doubt on a foundation of feet Eastern shc|tberds are In tbe habit of tinging and piping to quicken the action of tbe flocks under tbeir charge.

Deers are delighted with the sound of music and have been known to follow in herds tbe sound of the bagpipes and violin. Even lions and bears come under tbe charm there are frequent instances of bruin's dancing to music. Elephants, too, have good ears and may be trained as music performers. Tbe cheering influence of music is seen in the case of camels. During the long and painful marches tbe conductors of a caravan often comfort tbeir camels by leaving cm instruments. The music has such an effect that, however Catigued they may be by tbeir heavy loads, tbe animals step out with renewed viror.

Monkeys have a keen ear for rhythm, and have bean taught to dance to music on tbe tight rope. DourdekX speaks of a monkey whom all Paris at one time went to see, who, dremn) as a woman, daaeed a minuet is cadence with his master.

PHYSIOLOGY "AND HYGIENE,

The American Hands and Finger Kails. Virtues of Woolen Underwear. "Tho American baud is more delicate than the English hand, just as our feet and our joints are all smaller. V»'e are the race horse—they are the heavy and stout animal.''

But, adds the writer, who makes the above comparison iu Wide Awake, American finger nails arc not so beautiful as the English finger nail, which is a feature by itself. English nails are rosy and ell like, kept clean and cut to a rounded but slightly tapering point in the center. The skin at the base of the nail is carefully pushed back to show the onyx or little white half moon. With persons who take great care of tbe nail tho onyx develops every day more and more. It is always observable in a well kept English naiL

The American nail is apt to be dry and to break easily. Vaseline rubbed ou the nail after washing the hands will do a world of good to dry nails. It is well, if the nails are ngly and grow badly, to follow the English fashion and employ a manicure for a time. These adroit professionals first bathe the hand a long time in hot water, then with scissors and knives clean and cut the nails, remove the superfluous skin about the onyx, then polish the nails with a buckskin and fine powder, washing tbe bands again in hot water with soap then drying tnem carefully, they polish the nails with a fine brash. Again they rub the nails with a rosy unguent to give them a fine tint, and then with the hand to suggest a gem like polish.

Mo girl should ever use bismuth or any pigment to make her hands artificially white, for that fills in tbe pores of the skin, and is dirty and dangerous.

Why Woolen Should b« Worn. A physician who advocates using woolen underwear in place of cotton or linen goods gives an array of excellent reasons why it should be done. Wool, he affirms, exercises a stimulating effect upon tbe skin, unlike linen and cotton, and consequently promotes the proper action of the pores, glands and superficial tissues. It is a non-conductor of heat and preserves tbe normal temperature of the body. It allows a freer escape of the perspiration, and thus lowers, by evaporation, any abnormal temperature of tbe body, and facilitates the loss of excessive heat Also, through its non-conductivity of beat, it preserves the normal measure of warmth. Hence it is a better protection against the extremes of either heat or cold than liuen or cotton.

Beside the above, the doctor adds that wool is electrical, while liuen and cotton are not Wool can excite electricity, but does not conduct it Therefore a body clothed in wool loses less of its animal electricity, while fresh electricity is excited on tho surface. The intimate relationship between galvanic, nervous alul vital forces renders this peculiarity of the greatest importance to tho wearer.

While he does not consider it an infallible cure all, the physician is certain that woolen underwear is of much benefit, and that its zeneral adoption would produce permanent good.

Cream as an Aid to Digestion. '|i Cream is often tolerated by the stomach when other fata would not be. Professor Arnold, of Cornell university, explains its superior digestive quality over butter and other solid fats. This consists, first, in its being not exactly in liquid form, but in a condition allowing of great mobility between its particle*, permitting the gastric juice to mix with it in the most perfect maimer, and with whatever elsa tbe stomach contains, hereby aiding digestion. Its behavior is luite different in this respect from that of he other substauces mentioned. As soon as uheta become melted they grease over tho other contents of the stomach, obstructing, in a measure, tbe contact of gastric juice, and hindering, rather than basteuing, tbe progress of their digestion, L', /A*

Some Kesults of Careless Eating. Constipation of the bowels is the almost sure result of slow aud imperfect digestion, says Dr. EL G. Cook, and from this manifest ills arise. Many women who would scorn to take the trouble to eat properly and keep their digestive organs in good condition, spend money and time upon freckles, moth spots and pimples upon their face, vainly trying to cover with cosmetics that which proper care in diet would entirely remove.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

•&£

|,f^

Manners and Customs Practiced in Polite Society. To a person unfamiliar with the usages of society the visiting card is but an insignificant bit of paper nevertheless, certain fashions attach to it, one of which Art Interchange states concisely as follows: It is not etiquette at present to leave cards with tbo krnei~s turned down. Cards should be left unbent, except when a number of ladies live in the sanra house, when they may bo doublet! to signify that one card is intended for several persons. This saves having a number of cards. For instance, under one roof lives a lady with two daughters, one of them married and who has a friend stopping with her. One card doubled should be left for tho mother and unmarried daughter another for tho married daughter, and a third for tbe friend.

Good and Bad Form In Note Writing. It is generally considered good form to write alternately on tbe first aud third pages of a sheet of note paper, and in tbe days of thin paper there was reason for this practice. Some of our social authorities, however, condemn this as suggestive of the business habit of making copics by letter press.

A maddening affectation in vogue among young ladies is that of writing kcrteontally oa tbe first pag vertically upon the second, and so on. This course pursued through several sheets will invariably produoe confusion, if nothing worn, In tbe reader's mind.

A fancy of tbe day among fashionable women is to write on tbe first and second pages only, repeating oa tbe second page the last word of tbe first, according to tbe way of our ancestors, and signing only a single before tbe surname, no matter bow numerous or fine one's baptismal appellations may be.

A Wedding Invttat!oa Declined. To decline a wedding invitation is not considered polite. No answer whatever Is usually expected.

MANCHESTER MAIDENS.

AWKWARD AND TASTELESS DRES3 OF ENGLISH WORKINGWOMEN.

The Gait or Many a Hello Is Simply Awful—Huge, Shapeless Hats for Headgear—A Mystery of Human Stupidity—

A Remedy.

Looking at the Manchester population as they may be seen in the garden of the exhibition, that is to say disporting themselves in their "Sunday best," the critic, as I have always remarked, will soon be overwhelmed by the fatal prevalence of dowdyism. The women are, for the most part, ungainly and uncouth. Yet they havo not the excuse of poverty, for their dresses are sound, very rarely threadbare or in boles. Some of the dresses are even draped up with some pretension to elegance but belast for the result

The walk of tho wearer is simply awful. The idea that the human figure is capable of graceful deportment, that feelings can bo expressed and harmonies established by the movements of the limbs, the position of the head and the jxise of the lodv- does not seem to have dawned on the young women who compoee the

majority

of the crowd in search

of amusement, flirtation and perhaps husbands. So clumsy was the gait of many a northern belle that the happy thought occurred to me of instituting what might be called a water bucket prise. Let the friends of aesthetic reform club together for the purpose of offering prizes in elementary.schools to the girls who show the greatest proficiency in walking considerable distances and over rough ground with buckets filled with water on their heads. I believe that a great deal of the elegance, and above all of the dignity and stateliuess, of Spanish and oriental women is duo to tho fact that from time immemorial they have been in tho habit of carrying pitchers of water balanced on their beads.

HUGE, S3AFELESS HATS.

In the meanwhile, in Manchester, as in London, the work girls only carry on their heads huge, shapeless hats, with giganiio feathers of gaudy colore that, ramble in an erratic manner round the crown. Why a stunted, little factory girl, with clothes that not fit her and that are of tbe most prosaic cut, should imagine that a cheap and clumsy imitation of a broad Gainsborough or Van Dyke with flowing plume can possibly enhance her appearance, is one of those mysteries of human stupidity which is most diffl cult to explain. A French girl, who has not received half the education our school boards provide, and belongs to an equally humble class of society, would, before attempting to dress herself, carefully study, not the fashion, but ber own jjersonal peculiarities, her individual physical good and bad points. Then she would seek to adopt, from among the current fashions, only those details suitable to her personal charateristics. If she were small, ill shaped, and stunted in her growth, she would wear a modest dress, and U*y and gain in piquancy, hi sprightliness, in vivacity, what, she lacked in dignity and in classic regularity of form and feature. The French girl would be very careful not to draw attention to tho smallness of her figure by tbe contrast of a largo hat only suited to a tall and commanding personage. If her skirt and bodice were plain and unpretending, she would wear a lonnet or a hat equally simple.

The English girl, however, has no knowl•enge of the appropriateness of things. She will go to (lie theatre and imagine that the big feather worn so grai*efully by Miss Florence St. John in tho part of Nell Gwynne, at tho court of Charless II, will suit her equally well, as she drags her cotton print skirts through the mud of aback court or alley in a Manchester suburb or a London slum.— Foreign Letter. t-
