SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

A VEGETABLE PHENOMENON WHICH HAS PUZZLED NATURALISTS.

Is There a Diamond Field in Kentucky?

Remarkable

Memento of the Late Henry

Ward Beechen—An Interesting Experiment for Scientist*.

The experiment here illustrated shows the Interesting fact tbat a free sphere will remain in equilibrium, and actually revolve around another, making a rapid rotary motion. A spindle is fixed in support of an angle of fortyflve degrees, which seem» to offer the greatest difficulties, and on it is mounted a sphere formed of eight or ten rings.

BALL MCVOLVIHQ ABOUND A SPHERE. When this is rapiply rotated the hand can feci a strong stream of air issuing from the equator on every side, and bits of paper when presented are blown away. If, however, a balloon, such as alight rubber ball, is used, it is strongly attracted toward the sphere, and will describe orbits around it in the plane of the equator until it receives a blow from one of the rings, and is then sent too far away to I*) recaptured by the rotating sphere. To avoid tlmt a wire guard is placed round the sphere in its equator, an1 held in place by three wires connected to the support. This guard keeps the balloon from touching the rings forming tlio sphere, and the former revolves round the latter so long as the sphere is rotated.

Kentucky'M Keputed Diamond Field. The report of the two scientists, George F. Kunzand J. S. Diller, who were sent by the directors of the United States Geological survev to make an examination of the reputed diamond fields in Kentucky, furnishes food for speculation. Says The Jeweler's Weekly: "Although the arbonaceous shalo of the Kentucky iiekl contains only .681 per cent, of carbon to nearly 88 per cent, of the same element in the Kir berley shale, the remarkable similarity of ilie peririotite and the residuary di'jHjsitx, which so closely resemble the diamantiforous material of the South African mines, hold out a strong prospect that patient and diligent search may yet force the reluctant blue grass soil to yield up nature's gems."

Memento of Henry Wnrd IJeeclier. A remarkable memento of the late Rev. Henry Ward Beoclier exists in the mansion of Mr. Edison, tho electrical inventor. Mr. Edison has utilized his phonograph by making a collection of famous voices. When visitors of note came to his workshop, he took ft sample of thoir voices by inducing them to talk into his phonograph. He has kept the soft metal plates from which these utterance* nro recorded and occasionally ho recalls again, by a simple turning of the crank of the machine, the words spoken months or years lie fore. Mr. Belcher was one of his visitors, and left a memento of himself in tho form of a few sentences recorded in the phonograph. Mr. Edison is probably tho only man who can recall tho silenced voice of tho great preacher.

An Anomaly in I'lant Growth. A correspondent in Popular Science Montb«y describes a vegetable phenomenon which has puzzled tho vituralists who have seen it. Two beech trees, some six inches in diameter, grow withih a foot of each other. Alout eight feet from the ground a lateral branch of one of them, growing tightly athwart the trunk of the other, hail becomo incased by tbat trunk, so as to present the appearanco of being thrust through it. Some one had cut off the absorbing stock two or three feet above the surface soil, so that it hung by that lateral branch, and might be easily swung to and fro (see cut).

A VEGETABLE PHKXOMKNOW.

The severed stock continued to live and grow, not only above the supporting limb, but between the limb and the severance below.

It was manifest that the top of the sundered tree was supplied through the transverse branch in the ordinary method of upward growth but not so apparent how the lower portion continued its existence. The correspondent who described it says that be wiw the tree during tho third or fourth season after the separation, and testifies to life therein, though uot the vigor of a thrifty young tre*. The supporting trunk had in creased much more than its mutilated comjvtnion. This shrinkage of vitality might have resulted in ultimate death bad not further experiment been precluded by the thoughtless removal of both for firewood by an ignorant chopper.

Arsenical Wall PA per*.

The clinical evidence adducevi in this ami other countries establishes beyond doubt the fact that arsenical wall papers will, iu many irotancvs, produce symptom* of poisoning by arsenic in peram* occupying the room* where the walls are covered with sttch paper It iimy. therefore, be well to give one or two of Uk» simple t^t» for sa.i«ctal papers, deby K.

THE CUROSITY SHOP.

Color Bllndneee—The Three Varieties Under Whleh People 8nftor. Color blindness is: 1. Inability to discern any color properly so called, so that black and white—namely, light and shade—are the only variations of tint perceived. 2. Inability to discriminate between the nicer shades of the more composite colors, such as browns, grays and neutral tints. 3. Inability to distinguish between the primary colors, red, blue and yellow, or between these and the secondary and tertiary colors, such as green, purple, orange and brown. The first sort of color blindness would appear to be very rare, but well marked cases of it are on record. The second variety, where the nicer shades of the more composite colors are mistaken, would appear to be very common—the rule rather than the exception in the majority of persons, at least of the male sex, in this country but it is a matter of doubt how far it may not be referable to imperfect cultivation of the sense of color. The third form is the most important variety of the affection. In extreme cases, although colors are occasionally quite correctly named, there is no certainty as to any color in less severe cases, two colors, at least, as red and green, and generally four, as red, green, olive and brown, are not distinguished from each other. Yellow wonld appear to be that which gives least difficulty to those not absolutely unconscious of color while blue, if pure, and well illuminated, is readily recognized by the color blind, a few of whom, indeed, describe it as the color which they see best.

Tlie Itlght of Sanctuary. I Sanctuary was a place of refuge and of safety for offenders of various kinds. All churches and church yards were, down to the time of Henry VIII invested with this protective power. The possible stay in sanctuary of any fugitive was.strictly limited to forty days, at the expiration of which time he was bound to quit the (British) realm by the nearest port assigned him by the coroner to whom be had communicated the circumstances of his case. During his journey to the seacoast for the purpose of carrying out this self banishment, the claimant of sanctuary privileges was guaranteed immunity from molestation as h? journeyed on, cross in hand. By Henry VII's time the custom of sanctuary was very much abused, having become the means of shielding criminals of all kinds from justice, and at his request Pope Innocent VIII made three important alterations in it. First, that if a man, while enjoying the privileges of sanctuary, should take advantage of his position to commit some further offense against the laws of bis country, he should at once and forever forfeit tho benefit of sanctuary. Second, that the benefit of sanctuary should be strictly limited to a man's personal safety, and in no degree apply to the protection of his private property. Third, that where treason was the motive for seeking sanctuary the king might have the offender specially taken care of. Until the twenty-first year of James I the custom still obtained and criminals continued to seek refuge in the places to which the privilege of sanctuary was attached. At that time, however, a statute was passed abolishing sanctuary privileges altogether.

Fast Trains.

It is commonly supposed in this country that in England sixty miles an hour is not uncommon time for railroad trains. While this rate'of speed may bo often attained between stations, it does not hold for long distances. Great Northern trains make the distance of 807 miles from Londou to Edinburgh, via York, in 0 hours, the average speed being 44.1 miles an hour. From Euston square the distance is 401 miles, and London and Northwestern trains make the run iu 10 hours, or 40.1 miles per hour. The fastest train on the Great Northern makes tho trip to Leeds from London at un average speed of 4fi.4 miles ntt hour. The Great Northern trains fro-n London to York make 188 miles at 48 miles an hour, nnd at least one train runs to Poferboro at 51 miles an hour. The run from London to Grantham has been made repeat* wily at 51 miles an hour. The Flying Dutchman, broad gauge, is the fastest train in the world, making the run to Swindon at 53}{ miles an hour. On ono occasion the distance of 15 miles was run in 13 minutes, or 73 miles an hour. In this country Jumbo, one of the Pennsylvania railroad locomotives, drew a train from Philadelphia to Jersey City, 00 miles, iu 80 minutes.

Lincoln's Favorite Poem.

The poem "Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proudr which was so frequently copied and quoted some twenty years ago from having been much admired by President Lincoln, was written by William Knox, a native of Roxbury, Scotland, born in 17M), died in 1823. Knox is perhaps better known through tho mention of him iu Sir Walter Scott's diary than by his own poetical productions— though the poem mentioned is widely familiar. Scott, Professor Wilson and,. Sou they thought highly of Knox's poetical abilities. His first collection of verses was entitled "Tho Lonely Hearth and Other Poems."

Gambrinus.

Brockhaus' "Conversations-Lexikon" says of Gambrinus: "A fabled king of Flanders to whom is ascribed the invention of beer. The BBme is derived from Jan primus. Jan I, Duke of Brabant, at the request of the Guild of Brewers of Brussels, accepted the honorary presidency of the guild. On account of his condescension bis portrait, with a foaming glass of beer in his hand, was hung in the hall of the guild. Gradually the name Jan primus was changed into 'Gambrinus,' the duke of the story was made a king, and to him the invention of beer was first ascribed."

Currency of the United States. On June SO, 1880, the amount of currency in the hands of national banks was $255,306,65S.49 in other banks and individual hands, $590,033,555.15. The "American Almanac" bearing date 18S7, states the amount of monej actually in the hands of the people Nov. 1, 1885, to be approximately $$29,732,777 and adds: "No later estimate than this bos been made at the treasury."

First Use of Forks.

Forks were used by the Venetians in the Sixteenth century, and were made at Sheffield, England, about 1600 or 1610. The Italians were the first people of modern times to use forks but they seem to be mentioned in the Bible (I Samuel H, 13), and a bronze fork was foubd among the rnira of Koayunjik, the site of ancient Siih-reh.

HOKE MADE HUMMING TOP.

As it happens that a good loud bumming top can be made without expense, and we feel certain that some of our young readers will want to try their hands at it, we give an illustration with directions, which appeared originally in Golden Days:

The materials are an empty baking powder canister, or any wooden box, and two pieces of firewood. The plan of operations is to cut a slit in the side of the box answering to the hole in the toy, making it half an inch square or round, as the case may be, and making a hole in the lid and bottom of the box for the spindle to come through. To make a good job of it, the bottom hole should be square &nd tho top hole round, and the spindle should be cut to fit, pushing it in, of course, from the bottom.

When the holes and spindle are cut, put a little glue round the lid to make the box tight, and insert the spindle with a little glue at each hole. For the usnal fork or handle with which the top is spun, a plain slip of wood with a hole at the end will be found to answer. Very simplo preparations all these, and yet everything is ready except the string. When the top is dry, wind round the string, passing it through the hole in the handle, as shown, and spin. That is all we need say about the homemade humming top.. .,.

'l The Wasp and the Spider. While sitting one summer's day on a piazza near two large trees, something dropped upon my bead and rolled into my lap, wh I saw a large white bodied spider in the clutches of a small wasp. Hastily brushing these unceremonious visitors upon the floor, I watched to see if the wasp would succeed in flying awny with his huge enemy. After a struggle the spider lay quiet and the wasp ran around, seizing first one part, then another, b^t finally went away, as I supposed, for help. In about a quarter of an hour he returned, still alone, and began trying again, ns 1 thought, to find some place by which he could seize the round body, and carry it awny. A§niu he departed without his spider. This time I watched him, and saw him disappear at the edge of the lawn, under a pear tree, and, following, found him, after some searching, diligently at work, with another wasp, in enlarging a hole in the ground, having already thrown out quite a little mound of earth. I was surprised, for did not then know that any kind of wasp lived in the ground.

I returned to the piazza and soon, when the wasp came back, I was convinced, by more cnrcful watching, tlfrit he was measuring each |art of the spider's body, instead of trying to get hold of it The antennae seemed to be the organs mostly employed in this operation. When he went home again, I was before him, and saw him meet his coworker, put his head close to his, and evidently inform him that the doorway was not yet big enough, for they fell busily at work enlarging it. Then more measuring, more digging, until, after three long hours, he returned, this time with his friend, and they carried away their prey, and bestowed it in their underground home. fW

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Ill Health of American Women—Kfffcct •f Arsenic on tha Blood and Skin. The ill hedlth that prevails to so great an extent among American women has grown to be a subject of much consideration. Virginia Penny enumerates various causes for the weakness and early breaking down of her country women, who, in this respect, compare ill with Kngjirfi women. Much of the insanity among her sex she attributes to the lack of out door exercise in childhood and precocious development of mind. American girls have a fairer, fresher appearance from 16 to 18 years of age than foreigners, but they fade earlier. Tlie lots of health and dejection of spirits among the middle and higher classes of society are mostly from the want of regular occupation some definite aim, some high and elevating pursuit.

The health of women that work in the fields is generally excellent because of their exercise in pure air. According to Miss Penny, moderate exercise in the open air will give vigor and freedom to both mind and body.

The early entrance into society of most American ladies has its bad effect. The unsettled state of mind it engenders, the intense love of excitement, are certainly disadvantageous.

American women, according to our authority, marry too early and live too secluded. Many are scarcely out of school before they settle down as wives and housekeepers, the cares of a family devolving on them before they have the strength and nerve to perform them. Most women do not know enough of the laws of health. The majority of married women, with families of small children, need more relaxation and greater variety of recreation.' Many become so chained down in body and mind by household cares and labors that health and spirits sink beneath the load and they grow prematurely old. Some housewives suffer from bad servants some perform drudgery for which they are unfit Theiudoor labor performed by American women is prodigious. What affects the body influences the mind. When one is worn the other is irritated. English women have more and better servants. English women walk and ride more, marry later and have better constitutions by nature.

Miller's Cough.f

This distressing complaint is caused by the constant inhalation of dust laden air in a flouring mill. In case of lungs naturally weak it runs at last into the ordinary symptoms of pulmonary complaint. When due only to the dusty atmosphere of the mill, a change to pure air is usually an effectual remedy. A practical miller affected with miller's cough has been obliged to quit the business. He finds that, while perfectly well so long as he keeps away from the mill, a return for a few hours' time will start his cough afresh, and medicines are of no avail. Pure air alone is, in bis opinion, the only core for miller's asthma.

How to Administer Gaator OIL Of all nauseating agents employed by physicians, castor oil stands near, if not at, the head of the list It is not quite so bad when taken in strong coffee or lemon Juice. In the form of an emolsion it is far less objectionable, according to The Bostoh Herald. To prepare it, beat up the dose to be administered with the white of an egg, and then add the juice of a lemon or a sufficient quantity of strong peppermint water by this means the offensive taste is completely disguised.

Effects of Arsenic Eating,

Herald of Health affirms that the exact state of things brought about by arsenic eating I a diminution of the strength of the blood tho capillary blood vessels are stopped from working, the ends of the blood vessels are killed, no blood is supplied to the skin, and the real reason for its white, transparent state is that it is practically dead. &

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Manners Practiced (n

md Customs Polite Society.

The terms "gentleman" and "lady" become in themselves vulgar when misapplied, and the Improper application of the wrong term at the wrong time makes all the difference in the world to ears polite.

Socially, the term "gentleman" has become almost vulgar. It isoertainly less employed by gentlemen than by inferior persons. The one speaks of "a man I know," the other of "a gentleman I know." As regards the term lady, it is qnite in accordance with the usages of English society to speak of your acquaintance, tho duchess, as "a very nice person." People who say "a very nice lady" are not generally of asocial class that has much to do with duchessea. "There is a kind of pin feather gentility," says a masculine observer, "that seems to have a settled aversion to the terms 'man' and 'woman.' Well bred men, men of culture and refinement—gentlemen, in short—use the terms lady and gentleman comparatively HttK and they ore especially careful not to eall themselves gentlemen when they can avoid it gentleman, for instance, does not say, with some other gentlemen, went,' etc. be is careful to leave out the word other."

The Way to Overcome Shyness. Shyness cramps every motion, dogs every word. The only way to overcome the fault is to mix constantly in society. The habitual intercourse with others will give yon the ease and manner tbat shyness destroys.

BOYS TAUGHT TO RIDE.

HOW YOUNGSTERS ARE TRAINED TO RIDE RACERS TO VICTORY.

To be a Jockey a Boy Needs Nerve and a Cool .Head—The Koad to Fortune or a Broken Neck—The Pay and

Other Matters.

"Do you want a boy t" "A boy? What for! What can yon dof* "Ride horses, sir." "How much do you weighf' "Sixty pounds, and I'm a good rider." This was the conversation overheard in the paddock at Monmouth park the other day, and then the writer began to ask some questions of one of the trainers about the boy jockeys, bow they begin, the work they have to do and how they are paid.. To be a good jockey requires a great deal of hard work, nerve and patience, and those who are popular now have worked hard for yenrs to earn their reputations. All the big jockeys have commenced to work when very young, and those who are young now and just beginning to ride in races all hoj-e that some day they will bo as good riders as McLaughlin, Garrison, ILiyward nnd others. If a boy wants to becomo jockey be must be very fond of horses nnd not at all afraid of them, and he must become attached to a racing stable when he is very young, alwut 13 years old. When he first enters tho stuble bo will be put to work as a stable boy and have to carry water to the horses, make up the bedding, clean harness nnd lead the horses nbout for exercise. He will find that the work is not easy. He will be at the beck and call of every one in tho stable, and, if ho wants to succeed iu the profession he has chosen, must be willing to work.

DURING THE RACHTQ SEASON. During tho racing season the boys are all in bed by 8 or 9 o'clock at night at tho latest, and they are all on the track with their horses by sunrise the next morning. All the work done iu training the horses is done at dawn. The next movo a good boy will get is to have a horse given him to rub down and to keep clean. In this position ho is callod a rubber. After this, if he is a bright boy, he is ullowed to ride a horse in his exurcise gallops. This is ns far as many of the boys over rise because tho next position is that of a jockey.

To ie a jockey a boy must have lots of nerve, a cool head, nnd bo a good rider. He must be a good judge of pace and know very nearly bow fast the horses are going along. If a trainer thinks a boy could be trusted with a horse in a nice, he gives him a mount iu some unimportant race and then if the boy does well lie will soon rise to tho top of the tree. A jockey's pav is good. McLaughlin gi'to $10,000 a year from the Dwyer Brothers, lsucc Murphy gets 810,000 a year from l.neky Baldwin. Fitzpatrick gets $8,000 a year from tho Fairfax stable and Onrrisoti gets $fi,000 a year from Capt S. S. lhown others get paid in proportion according to their abilities. All these riders are allowed to accept outside mounts that is they are allowed to ride for any one when they are not wanted by the stable to which tbey are engaged. For these outside mounts tbey are paid $25 if they win and C10 if they lose. But very often when they win a big race they get much larger fees. McCarthy got $3,000 for winning the Brooklyn handicap on Dry Monopolc, and last, year Fitzpatrick was paid $5,000 for winning the Suburban on Troubadour for Capt. Brown. Somo of the jockeys xpend the money they make aa fast «ib tbey get it, but others save it, and many of them aro very rich men. '/1

A. FOKTCNR OH A BROKEN NHPK The dangers of a jockey's life are very great. They may Ite thrown in a race at any time and be trampled to death by horses l»ehlnd them. The horse they are riding may fall down and by rolling on them kill them. V»:ry often tbey get so crowded in a race against other horses or against th« rails that their legs are broken and sometimes the horses they handle are xo savage that they kick and bite tho boys. When a l»oy decides to become a jockey lio must make up his mind either to make his fortune or to break his neck. (ne of the best, trainers for jockeys in this country is Father Bill Daly. He taught McLaughlin and Garrison to ride and was making a good lightweight of little Mo*an wlii'ii he. wa* killed at Brighton Beach last. year, lie is now teaching Palmer to ride. In »ome of the tablet, the loys are treated very well. They nil h«v» to live on the track, ami some of the large «tables like the Fairfax, Haggins ind the Dwyers have rooms fitter! up for the Uy«, where they, can learn to read and writ*, mxl have a library of good txjoksfor them reed in their leisure time.

In addition to other things a jockey mnst have a strong constitution. When they have to ride in races tbey must not exceed the weight that the horse has to carry, and to get to this weight they have to train. There are several ways tbey have of getting off flesh. One is by taking medicine, but that is not a safe way. One is by taking Turkish baths, but the most popular way is by taking lots of exercise with heavy clothes on.—New York Mail and Express. »11-1 1—a-
