SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

8ILICIFIED WOODS THAT RESEMBLE JASPER AND AGATE.

The System of Cremation by El«e trlcity—Interesting Experiment* with Coins l)a«ed Upon the Principle of Inertia— Entertainsiig Fact*.

Experiments upon the principle of inertia are numerous and some of them vastly entertaining. The cuts here given illustrate two interesting experiments described in \A Nature, and so simple aa to lie easily repeated by any reader.

FIO. 1—KXPBRIKK5T WITFI COINS. Pile up a down different coins on a plate and propose to the persons round you to deposit them in the same order upon the table atone swoop. The uninitiated will try in vain. In order to succeed in doing this lift the plate twelve inches alxive the table, lower It quickly eight inches nnd pull it toward you, and the coins, losing their support, will fall upon the table in their original position.

no. 3—EXPERIMENT WITII COINS. This experiment recalls another of the same kind and one that has found favor with youthful experts. It consists in bending the arm as shown in Fig. 2 nnd placing a pile of coins upon the elbow, and then quickly throwing the arm forward nnd catching the eoin« in the hand. With a little practice and skill a ierson can thus catch with his hand a dozen of the superimposed coins without a singlo one of them dropping to the floor.

Jnspcrlsml nnd Agatlsed Woods. Tho pi'trillinl woods of Arizona, resembling jasper and ngate to a wonderful degree, have of late attracted much attention from scientists and others. The remarkably large seotionsof trees that furnish these jasperized nnd agatized woods has led to a desire to utilize the same for art objects such as havo never before been seen. Many attempts, both here nnd abroad, have been made to produce perfect sections of these silicifled trees, and the nttempt as regards the |xlisbing of Inrge sections was about given up when American ingenuity and perseverance at last conquered.

Mr. George F. Kunz, at the New York meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, exhibited some of the finest sections of slliciilod trees that havo ffcr been seen—finest, not only for their jSkuty of coloring and jmlisli, but also for yjftr Inrgo size. Tho following objects were •fejplhited: One column cut. transversely across ftte treo, so that the heart was visible on two Ikfes of the column, the rings radiating from ftpi all directions. It is ll# inches wide and '""ppit inclios high, and is a most remarkable piece of lapidary work. Five sections measuring 85, 1»K, 34, \~X and 18 inches respectively In diameter, with such a high polish thnt when turned with the back townrd the light a perfect mirror was formed. The color of all was unstirp:iwd. They wore cut by a gang of seven saws nnd polished on wheels 14 feet

In diameter, at Sioux Falls, Dak., the power being rumished oy wnter from the falls.

Prevention of Noise.

To those who carry on any operations requiring much hammering or pounding, a simple means of deadening tho noise of their work is a great relief. Several methods havw been suggested, but the best are probably these: 1. Rubber cushions under the tegs of the work bench. Chambers' Journal detcribes a factory where the hammering of fifty coppersmiths was scarcely audible in tho room below, their benches having under each leg a rubber cushion. 3. Kegs of sand or sawdust applied in the same way. A few Inchcs of sand or sawdust is first poured Into each keg on this Is laid a board or block upon which the leg rests, and around the leg and block is poured fine dry sand or sawdust Not only all noise, but all vibration and shock, is prevented and an ordinary anvil, to mounted, may be used In a dwelling house without annoying the inhabitants. To amateurs, whoso workshops are almost always located in dwelling houses, this device affords a cheap find simple relief from a very great annoyance.

Curious Fact in photography. Dr. John Vnusant, of the United States Marine hospital at St. Louts, claims to l* the first to have token photographs by the light of flreflie*. Ho placed twJve fireflies in a three ounce bottle, covering its mouth with fine white bobinet. The average duration of the flash of each insect was half a seoowl, and tbe luminous area on the abdomen was about one-eighth of on inch square. Tho time of exposure was fifty flashes.

How Fishee Influence One Another. In a Icoturv on "Marine and Fresh Water Fishw" Mr. W. A. Carter said thnt fish haw the power of influencing one another by pounds and action. He had observed a shoal of carp following the lead of a single one which conducted them to a quantity of food at a considerable distance away. He rad alsc nvii«*l that certain -h water fish, nucha* trout, were subservient to rater, which might l* swn shimming at the head of his tribe.

The kernel of the future edifice was raised on the limestone soil of the desert in the form of a small pyramid built in steps, of which tbe well constructed and finished interior formed the king's eternal dwelling, with bis stone sarcophagus lying on the rocky floor. Let us suppose that this flrst building was finished while tbe Pharaoh still lived in the bright sunlight. A second covering was added, stone by stone* on the outside of the kernel a third to this second, and to this even a fourth and the mass of tbe giant building grew greater tbe longer the king enjoyed existence. And then at last, when it became almost impossible to extend the area of the pyrt amid farther, a casing of hard stone, polished like glass and fitted accurately into the angles of the steps, covered tbe vast mass of the king's sepulclier, presenting a gigantic triangle on each of its four faces. More than seventy such pyramids once roso on the margin of the desert, each telling of a king, of whom it was at once the tomb and the monument."

The Barber's Pole.

Anciently barbers performed minor operations in surgery, particularly when bleeding was performed. To assist this operation tbe patient used to grasp a staff or pole which was always kept by tbe barber-surgeon. To this staff was tied a tape which was used in bandaging tbe patient's arm. When not in use the pole was bung outside as a sign of the duties performed inside. Later the identical staff or pole was not so used, but instead a stick painted to represent the pole was left in tbe doorway. At flrst surgeons'poles were painted red and white striped, with a brass knob or basin at the end, while mere barbers were required to have theirs white and blue. This statute was still in force in England in 1797. The last barber-surgeon died in London in 182L

Diamond of the First Water. This expression donotes a stone of we utmost purity and whiteness. The vnluo of diamonds is established by their weight, clearness and color hence, a diamond of the first water, whatever its sizo, is worth, obviously, more than one of a corresponding weight and of lesser parity. There is some appropriateness in tho phroso because of the resemblance of the purest of diamonds to the sparkling of water, as in a dewdrop. Talbot is of the opinion, howevor, that the expression originated in a mistake. He supposes that the Anglo-Saxons spoke of "the finest or purest hue," or color (Anglo-Saxon hiw, color). The Normans supposed this word to be their own ewe, water, and applied it in that sense.

The Scotch Robin Hood.

Rob Roy was to Scotland what Robin Hood was to England. His rule of life, for part of his career at least, was:

That they should take who havo the power, And they should keep who can. He was professional robber of the old school. We have nothing just like him, unless, perhaps. Jesse James may be regarded as in some sense his counterpart. Walter Scott writes of Rob Roy as "the dread of the weulthy, tho friend of the poor, and possessed of many qualities, both of head and heart, which would have graced a less equivocal profession than that to which his fute condemned him.'* ______ llefrnetors and Ketlectors.

Finding the Points of the Compass. Says old Allen Thompson: "When I am in the woods I never use a compass in fact, I don't need any. There are three sure ways that I have for finding the points of the compass. You will notice that three-fourths of the moss on trees grows on the north side the heaviest loughs on spruco trees are always cm tbe south side and, thirdly, tbe topmost twig of every uninjured hemlock tips to the east You just remember those things and you'll never get lost." fg

HOW IMPUDENT BLACKBIRDS STEA"L CORN AND BUILD NESTS.

A Candy Han Much Liked by French Boys and Girls—Story of Some Kind Hearted Children—A Rabbit and Two.

Fox Terriers.

While out on an exploring expedition one day during tbe summer just past, some kind hearted children found a tiny baby rabbit that appeared to be quite lost, and brought it home with them.

THE KISS OF PEACE.

They fed it with milk from a spoon, and succeeded in keeping it alive. It was put for safety into the waste paper basket (one of tbe tall Japanese sort), and when let out for a scamper in the drawing room it would come to call like a dog. Now, in the house were two fox terriers it was rather a question as to how the little bunny would be received, but they were at first very cautiously nnd judiciously introduced and now tho'tables are quite turned, for the rabbit drives away the dogs from the hearth rug in tbe bravest way when it thinks they have too good a place. Not only that, bat it sleeps on tbem when they are curled up, and actually licked the face of one of them—kissed it, in fact—an operation the terrier could hardly understand, and didn't perhape quite like. This bunny is the most delightful little creature in every way, and unless any unforeseen accident occurs, it will thrive, for it seems quite happy in its new homo.

A Perplexing Problem Solved. Three Moslem brothers were heirs to their father's oxen, seventeen in number. By the Mohammedan law of inheritance the eldest brother was entitled to one-half, the second to one-third and the youngest to one-ninth of the whole number. As tbo animals could not be divided without destroying them, the subject was referred to the decision of AH, tbe commander of the faithful. The caliph added an ox to tho uutnber and then made tbe division. This gave each brother more than his share—the eldest nine, the next six and the youngest two—and yet left to the prince th* ox which ho had added.

Egg in a Bottle.

It is a peculiar sight to see a hens egg in a bottle with a narrow heck. The wander is how came it there? Would you like to know! Well, then, soak an egg in vinegar for four or five days—tho longer the better—and the shell will dissolve in the vinegar,-leaving a brownish film instead. It will b^ soft, and you can pinch it as you can a rubber ball, and slip it into tbe bottle. When in, poor cold water on it, and tlieu drain off the watic, nnd in a day or two tbe shell will harden again, and people will wonder bow it got in there. jj

Origin of tbe Word Picnic. The word "picnic"bas been in use for more than a century as an English word. It was borrowed from our language by the French as early as 1740, and by the Swedish before, 1788. Its origin is obscure. Pic is probably' from pick, in the sense of nibble or slang English peck, food peckish, hungry. Nic, if not a mere rhythmed ending, may stand for knick, a trifle, such as knick-knack or nick-nuck. Hence, picnic, to peck at, pick up or eat trifles.

The Curious Candy Tender. There have been automatic puppet shows, automatic scales—the latter, especially, have become a familiar object in railway stations and other public places—but to Paris alone, at present, is due the glory of tbe automatic candy vender. By dropping a ten cent piece into the box, a package of lozenges is immediately passed out through an opening. There is little fear of this interesting candy man not being kept busy by the children.

About Blackbirds.

A noisy, wide awake, impudent fellow is tho blackbird, which comes from its winter home at the south, to tho north, quite early in the spring. The blackbird feeds eitbeit upon seeds or insects. He is much disliked by our fanners, because he steals their grain. When the corn is in milk tbe blackbirds descend upon tbe fields like a block, sweeping tempest, strip off the husks, lay bare,the corn and leaves little bat tbe coba.

rax BLACKBmn.

Most small birds are afraid of larger kinds. The blackbird, however, is a curious exception. It often builds its nest in company with tbe fish hawk*' nests. Of course ail blackbirds cannot boiki in fish hawks' necta Many occupy tall trees, generally in companies of from fifteen to twenty. Tbe nests are made of mud, roots and grass, and are lined with fine, dry gran and horsehair they are ohoot four inches deep and contain five or six dull green eggs, spotted with olive.

The Ghastly Flame.

Nwnbercd with easy experiments in chemistry fat tbe one by which a ghastly flame is prodaced. Barn in a saucer half gill of qprit to which has been added two or three tmatpoonfuls of salt and apinctoof saffron. Put out all other lights, and tbe faces of the company a nam bled round the small caldron will aanmea ghastly aspect.

PHYSIOLOGY ANO HYGIENE.

Salicylic Achl Condemned as a Food Preservative—Why Men Snon Grow Bald. Salicylic acid in various forms, purlieu-1 -larly salicylate of soda, has been extensively used in the preservation of food within tbe last few years.. Many recipes for preserving fruits and food, wliich have been peddled through tbe country, contain salicylic acid. The impression has prevailed that in the small quantities in which the drug is used it is quite harmless. Good Health states that recent investigations show the contrary to be true. This substance has been used in France much more extensively than in this country and the matter was finally brought to the attention of the central committee of hygiene. A thorough investigation was made, which resulted in the recommendation that the government should prohibit absolutely by law the use of salicylic acid or its compounds, even in small amounts, in any article of food or drink. This would seem to set the matter finally at rest.

Too Frequent Shampooing. It is tbe opinion of tbe senior editor of The Science News that the practice of frequently washing the head in warm or cold water, at home, with or without the adjuncts of soap, alcohol, ammonia or perfumery, is deleterious, and promotive of early loss of the hair.

Men are continually washing the head. Many do this night and morning under the false notion that it is necessary to cleanliness and promotive of a vigorous growth of hair, and when alarmed at its rapid disappearance in early life they are at a loss to understand the reason. Women do not shampoo or wash the hair as often as the other sex, and consequently they are, in a large degree, exempt frein baldness iu middle life.

A Poultice for Poisonous Wounds. A slice of raw salt pork is an old fashioned poultice. An improvement upon it now suggested is raw, fat salt j»ork and onions, equal parts, chopped up together, and applied in a thick layer to wounds made by rusty nails or tbe teeth of dogs or other animals. Such wounds are not only very painful but dangerous. Tbe above poultice is said to extract the poison, allay tho pain and inflammation and heal up the flesh in a way superior to drugs, and in a wonderfully short time..

The Normal Gait of Man and Woman. Dr. Gilcr de la Touretta finds tbo average normal locomotion in persons whose gait is unaffected by nervous disease to be, for men, twenty-five inches length of space for women, twenty inches tbe step with the right foot somewhat longer than that with the left the lateral distance between the feet in walking, about four and a half inches in men and about five inches in women.

Antiseptic Month Wash.

Most of the damage to the teeth by fermentive and putrefactive processes in the mouth takes place at night during sleep. A physician recommends that the mouth be rinsed well, before going to bed, with the following mixture, which completely sterilizes the mouth, cavities in carious teeth, etc.: Thymol, 4 grains: benzoic acid, 45 grains tincture of eucalyptus. fluid druclmis water, 25 fluid ounces.

rt/'.'-f A Test for Sewer Oa». A simple test for sewer gw»: Saturate tinglazed paper with a solution of one ounce of pure lead acetate in half a pint of rain water. Let it partly dry, then expose in the apartment where sewer gas is suspected. If the latter is present in any considerable quantity the paper darkens or turns black.

A Healing Snbstanee.

A drop of warm mutton suet applied to cold sores, at night upon retiring, soon causes them to disappear. Mutton suet is also an excellent remedy for parchod lips and chapped hands. For cuts aud bruises it is equally good. Its healing properties make it useful in these little accidents u: ailments so common to children.

Cocaine for Whooping Cough. Dr. Richard, of Hallo, is reported as having treated whooping cough with remarkablo success by penciling tbe pharynx three times daily with a 5 per cent, solution of cocaine.

A Simple Nervine.

Cream of tartar water, sweetened, not only cools tho blood but is a wonderful nervine, as the French know, who always sip sweetened water.

', Kemedy for Hiccoughs. The application of a bit of ice to the lobe of the ear is one of the remedies in vogue for hiccoughing.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Manners and Customs Practiced Polite Society. When a lady leaves home for the season, as usual, or for a short trip, she sends p. p. c. cards to such of her friends only as she is indebted to for unacknowledged civilities, accompanying them with her temporary address, if she sees fit. Upon her return, mere acquaintances are not supposed to show any consciousness of her presence until she if rmdy to resume social life, which she does by am ding oat her visiting card with her reception day engraved upon its left band corner. Sach is tbe convenient etiquette of largo dies.

After a prolonged absence, strict etiquette requires that the card be left by a lady in p«-son upon all acquaintance* and friends with whom she wishes to resume her former itiimacy. But, instead of this wearisome

aionsmayan

ind, the broken threads of social interim be taken up by trading out invifor afternoon tea.

About Weddings.

is the place of the bride's parents to furtbe wedding invitations. Tbe groom is to furnish his ushers with gloves, and sometimes scarf pins. For an after wedding tbe groom's dress should be a bkfek frock coat, a white four in-hand tie and

At a home weddkg, as church, tbe minister faces the cortpeny, which brings the bridal couple widi their bocks to the guests. Tbe groom generally presents some soavenir of the occasioa to each of tbe bridesmaids. Fans, rings, baqgies, miniatures, prayer books and lamps have laVed when nothing else could be thought of.

SHARK AND DEVILFISH.

Commissioner Ulackford Says That They are Excellent Eating. "Have you ever tasted the flesh of a shark, or reveled in devilfish stow? If not you are only half an epicure."

So said State Fish Commissioner Eugene G. Blackford to a reporter. •'AH fish are edible," be, continued, "but popular prejudice adjudges some to be unfit to cook. Who would ever dream of eating a '.oadflsb? The appearance of the creature, with its hideous head and brown, spotted skin, is sufficient to take away any man's appetite yet the flesh of a toad fish is tender and palatable. When fried it tastes very much like a porgy. Sharks are also excellent eating. They are very plentiful in these waters, and if people could be brought to believe that their flesh is wholesome and agreoable to the taste, an excellent fish would be sold in the market at prices so cheap that the poorest man could buy it. Shark's flesh is firm and iu taste is hardly distinguishable from halibut A delicious soup cau be made from the fins. The meat is best when boiled or fried in oiL Tho devilfish or giant squid is the same creature of which Victor Hugo writes in his novel, 'The Toilers of the Sea.' It is known to scientists as the octopus. In appearauce it is a horrible monster with a huge head nnd body furnished with snakeJike feelers, which sometimes grow to be thirty feet in length, and are as powerful in their grasp as the folds of a boa constrictor." "You do not mean to tell me that the flesh of such a creature is ediblef "It is simply delicious when properly prepared. It should be cut into small pieces and stewed with herbs. It becomes then a jelly like substance of delicate flavor that melts in the mouth. I regard the flesh of a devilfish as a delicacy. There is another species of devilfish which resembles a skate or rayflsh. The largest or them weigh from 100 to 160 pounds. It is excellent eating when boiled, tasting like a turbot On the banks of Newfoundland and off tbe Massachusetts coast, where codfish are caught, some hideous sea monsters are captured by tbe fishermen. The most savage is the wolfDsh It bos a largo head and wide, vicious jaws armed with fang like teeth. Iu weight it averages twelve pounds. Fishermen regard it as a dangerous creature' to handle, for with one snap of its jaws it can snip off a man's finger or hand. When boiled the wolffish is almost as palatable as a haddock. Another caught with tbe cod is the cusk. It closely resembles the cod size, appearance and flavor, but it is not regarded as a good fish on account of tbe remarkable thickness of its skin."— New York Mail and Express.

A Star Route Mail.,,

In one of the gulches stood the ruins of a cabin and a "star route" refuge. No possible need had existed for a mail carriage aci06s here, but a few years before my date contractors had found it profitable to institute thorouto and a sack holding a half dozen letters and perhaps a few copies of The Congressional Globe was carried back and forth on horseback. One man brought it 150 miles or so from Missoula and delivered it here in tho wild woods to a second man, who carried it down to Lake Pend d'Orielle, rowed forty miles across tho fir circled water and handed it over to a rider at the western end. This middlo man was utterly alone. Not a single soul lived on his route. In the winter be traveled on snow shoes, for months together saw nobody but tho carrier who brought him his pouch at each end, and .coukl tell you stories of adventures with wolves and bears, and of wonderful visions of elk, sheep and mountain goats. Robinson Crusoo led a less secluded life.—Ernest lngersoll in The American Magazine.

Casts of Distinguished Men. Tbero arc three plaster casts of distinguished men hanging in John Rogers' studio that at» tract attention—William Lloyd Garrison, the great anti-slavery agitator, Henry Ward Bcecher and Robert Collyer. The cast of Mr. Beecher's face was taken nearly eighteen years ago, when Mr. Rogers was fashioning a group of anti-slavery agitators. Mr. Bcecher had been sitting for him at intervals for two or three weeks. One day Mr. Rogers suggested that he might have saved all thosittings by taking

a plaster cast of his face, when tbe great preacher replied: "If it will be of any service you can take the cast now." Mr. Rogers set to work at once and soon finished the cast. I asked him if Mr. Beecher was much annoyed by the operation. "No," said Mr. Roger*. "He told me afterward that he nearly went to sleep." A peculiarity of tbe cast is its marked resemblahce to that of Robert Collyer which hangs beside it. Tbe faces are of tho same type, and friends of Mr. Beecher in looking at the two have taken tbem both for casts of Mr. Beecher.—New York Tribune.

inflamed condition of tho mucus lluIngof the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed, you havo a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed DeafIs the result, and unless the tnflam-

matlon can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condlon, hoarwill be destroyed forever nine coses out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surface. ..
