SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

ONE SCIENTIST'S VIEWS ON THE CRUELTY OF BOYHOOD*

The Employment of Electric Clocks la Towns Where Earthquake* Are Frequent—An Amuiing Application of Photography by Means of a Plato Holder.

It is well known that all light Calling upon perfectly black surface is absorbed, and a photographic plate exposed in a camera pointed toward such a surface will be entirely unacted upon. The most intense black is produced simply by absence of light, and the entrance to a cave or the open door of a perfectly dark room forms a photographic background, suitable for the production of some very amusing pictures. &

Fl(5, 1—PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATE HOLDER. If a person stands before such a black background and is photographed, only that part of tho plato will be affected which receives the lipht reflected from himself. If he then change* his position no that his image falls upon another part of the plate, loth images will appear in the same picture when developed and a photograph can thus be made in which a person is app&tmtly shaking hands with himself, playing a game of cards with his double, of offering him refreshments, etc.

Ah a perfectly dark lmckground is not always available, a French photographer, M. Due, has invented a form of plate holder by which two opjxjsite side* of the same plate can bo exposed nt different times. The construction is evident from the engraving (Fig. 1). Tho doors, B, B, aro opened by the piece*, of motal, A, A. is a strip of sheet metal which is only used to cover tlie crack lietween the two doors, nnd is drawn out after the holder is placed in the camera. A line exactly corresponding to the division in the plate holder is draw:i on tho focusing glass to ixBittro accuracy hi adjusting the different positions of tho sitter.

rid. 2—AMI'SINO RK80LT TW PHOTOGRAPHY. Fig. 3 shows one of the results obtained by M. Due with this plate holder. La Nature gives tho following explanation of how the picture was made: The painter, easel and stool were first photographed on one-half of tho plate theu, putting on his coat nnd hat, tho artist transformed hinviolf into a model and was again taken on the other half. The portrait on the easel is still the same person, but was afterwards added to the proof and not dirertlv photographed.

The Savagery of Boyhood.

Mr. John Johnston, in Popular Science Monthly, brings home the forcibleness of tho analogy between the traits of savages and that of developing civilised mankind. He cites a case of wanton cruelty recorded, by a boy without any apparent feeling for the cruelty of the act. Mr. Johnston, opposing the sentiment that pervades much of tho literature that is supposed to bo written for boys, does not predict for this boy a life of sin, but gravely contemplates the trait as a step in the normal development of youth. Pity is late factor in moral evolution, and a really "good" boy is morally precocious or disensnl. This viow does not lower one's estimate of lioy's virtues, but accents those that aro suited to his yeirs, as well as the importance of the gnwlu.il and timely appearance of the several instincts and emotions without which civilization would be impossible.

Serviceable Orate Bars.

To remove one troublesome complaint that frequently causes grato bars to warp, says American Engineer, have suitable space or ctaironce at each end of the bar.

Grate bar bearers will prove more serviceable if thov are placed a short distance from the end of tho grato bar, leaving space so that whatever falls at the end may not lodge there. Some grate bar bearers are placed up to the bridge wall at one end and join the dead plate at the opposite end. As then places are most likely to accumulate ashes tbey speedtly choke up, if openings are not provided for their eecspe.

Two New Alloy* of Aluminum. M. Bourbouae has, says Revue Scientiflque, formed an alloy of forty-five parts of tin and fifty-five of aluminum, which answers for soldering aluminum. This alloy poanrwri almost the same lightness as the pure aluminum and can bo easily soldered. M. Bourbouao has invented another alloy containing only 10 per cent of tin. This second alloy, which can replare aluminum in all its application*, can tic soldered to tin, while it preserves all the principal qualities of the pure metal.

Klfctrif Clock*.

An export house in Stuttgart. Germany, has wcentlv supplied to the town of Caracas, in Venezuela, a number of clocks for the public streets. On account of frequent earthquakes dock towers are not advisable, and since the clocks must be placed low, a comparatively large number Is required. Amoaj the clocks sent out is ooe with the dial thirteen feet in diameter. All the clocks will be worked electrically and illuminated at night with the electric light.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

President Uneote's Celebrated Getty»» bat Address. The following is fresideat Lincoln's cd^ tested Gettysburg speech, delivered Nor. 10, 1888. It will probably live as long, If not longer, than any oration of the present century: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. "Now we are engaged in a great civil -war, tfting whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and deed, who straggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or to detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what tbey did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for ns to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the lost full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain, that the nation shall, under God, have anew birth of freedom, and that the government of the people, by the people and for tho people, shall not perish from the earth."

The bank which receives and cashes a check raised from a lower to a higher amount becomes responsible for the money paid in excess of the original sum named on the check by the drawer. Judge Daniels says: "When money is paid by a bank upon a 'raised' or altered check by mistake, the general rule is that it may be recovered back from the party to whom it was paid, cs having been paid without consideration, but if either party has been guilty of negligence or carelessness, by which the other has been injured, tho negligent party must bear the loss. Tho doctrine is clear and is sustained by authority. The bank is not bound to know anything more than the drawer's signature, and in tho absence of any circumstance which inflicts injury upon another party, there is no reason why the bank should not be reimbursed." This decision was subsequent to one by the court of appeals in 1874, which excited at the time a frrcHt deal of criticism. The general practice seems to be nowadays that the bank rv. bear the brunt of any frauds perpetrated upon it.

Madison's grave is at Montpolier, not far from Monticello Monroe's remains lie in the Richmond cemetery Jackson's grave is in front of his old residence, "The Hermitage," near Nashville, Tenn. Van Buren was buried at Kinderhook, N. Y. Harrison at North Bend, near Cincinnati Polk at Nashville Taylor's remains aro near Louisville, Ky.

Garfield's at Cleveland Grant's at Riverside, N. Y., and Arthur's at Albany.

Old Fortifications.

In Centrr.l park, Now York, near the northwest cornet*, is an old brown stone building known as tho "block bouse." On a bluff on One Hundred and Seventy-third street, oast of Tenth avenue, are the ruins of a similar building. On another bluff further west are the remains of an earthen fort, and west of "Tenth avenue, near One Hundred and Ninetythird street, are still more ruins. These are the remains of the fortifications thrown up against the British during the Revolutionary war. Tho whole north end of the island was fortified.

Tim Victoria rom.

Tho "Victoria Cross" is a Malteso cross of bronee, with Queen Victoria's crest in the renter, underneath which is an escroil bearing the inscription "For Valor." It is awarded to officers nnd men of the British army who show conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy. The order was inaugurated in June, 1856, at the close of the Crimean war. British soldiers possessing the decoration are entitled to write V. C. after their names. ...

A University Term.

A wrangler, in (English) college phrase, is me who has obtained a place in the highest mathematical tupos. The first man of this clan is termed the senior wrangler the rest are rated each according to Ids respective merit, as second, third, fourth and so on. In the Middle ages college exercises were called disputations, and those who performed them were disputants. Hence the idea of wrangling.

Who fomraamii?

There is frequent question, "Is President Cleveland or Gen. Sheridan commander-in-chief of the army of the United StatesF The president is by virtue of his office com-mander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. Gen. Sheridan is also styled commander-in-chief of the army of the United States. The one to "ex-officio," the other "de facto."

An English Word.

The word "boodle*' is to be found in either of the dictionaries spelt "bodlc." It has been used in its present sense over thirty years, and it is to be found in the "Thieves' Lexicon," published in 1858. "Boodle: counterfeit money. Boodle carrier: one who carries the counterfeit money and hands it oak one bill at a time, to those who pass it." ,'

BIRO TALK THAT IS UNDERSTOOD BY COCKS, HENS AND CHICKS.

Interesting P*e*s Aboat Dwsto Haaka, Abraham Uneote's First Tatar, and the Pnpll Who Afterward Beea»* President of the United States.

Not long ago there appeared i^Golden Days a picture of Dennis Hanks, the man who taught Abraham Lincoln to read, witfesdneincidents connected with the lives of these two men. The picture Is here i^produced togetyr with some (rapt* more interewg facts,for the benefit of our young folk.

HIS FIRST STORY BOOK.'

"Webster's Speller" was Abe's first favorite among school books. His first story book was the "Arabian Nights," which he would read and laugh over hours at a time. Mr. Hanks thinks that tho faculty for story telling that marked Lincoln's late years can be traced back to that work.

After Lincoln became president of the United States, hfs old friend and teacher Dennis Wank* made him a visit at the White House, where, to use the lather's own expression, he was treated "as a royal guest."

How Fowls Talk.

As an example of bird language Mr. C:' F. Holder says in Wide Awake that the ordinary domestic fowl presents the most interesting and perfect songs. Half an hoar inK barnyard will demonstrate that ceftain sounds are the equivalent of words. The crow of the cook is a challenge to oookan^ is not noticed tiy.the hens him find A delikate tborsel and ing to utter a succession of short notes: "Tuck, tuck, tiSck, tuck!" at which the hens gather about him for their share of the dainty.

The different notes, or "baby talk," of the mother hen, are of great variety and mean quite different things. Every biddy understands that "chuck, chuck, chuck!" means "Come home to your mother," just as the quick call, "tuck, tuck, tuck!" means "come to your supper." Mr. Holden gives the following brief chapter of domestic fowl language from a dictionary too extended to present in unabridged form:

Ur-ka-do-die-do-o-o. Challenge of male. Tuck, tuck, tuck. Food call. K-a-r-r-e. Announcing presence of hawk. Cut, cut, ca-da-cut. Announcement of egg laying.

Clock, cluck, cluck. Call of young. Kerr, kerf, kerr. Song of contentment of ben. C-r-a-w-«-«-e. Quieting young chicks. W-h-o-o-i-e (whistle). Expression of apprehension at night.

C-r-a-i*a-i-o-u. Terror and protest at capture.

The City of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is the largest city of Holland. It is a city of canals, and yet travelers are not impressed so constantly that it is a water city ns when in Venice. The town lies at the end of tbo Y,whichis agulf of theZuyder Zee and there are several great canals, shaped like segments of concentric circles, intersected by some 300 smaller canals and yet there are many streets and squares where one can drive about as freely as in any other city. Most of the houses are very tall and very narrow and stand with their gable ends to the street, presenting to strangers a very odd appearance.

One of the great industries of this Dutch town is the catting and polishing of diamonds, and many of the finest gems in the world are brought here to be cut into shape. It was in this city that the celebrated Koh-i-noor was cut and polished.

"'A Game Peenllar to Italian Boys. Italian boys have, at least* one game peculiar to themselves. The game they play is this: The lad who is "it" kneels down and buries his face in the lap of ooe ot his companions. While in that position one of the boys who stand in line several yards distant ran over and hit him a light blow, running instantly bads and taking his place with the others in line. The boy who was "it" then tries to discover who hit him. He walks up to the line, singles out the lad he suspects and carries him pick-a-back to the goal where be knelt when struck. If he carries the right ooe that boy becomes "it," but if he carried one who had not hit him, be has to ride the boy beck to where be found him, bury his face and begin again.

If there is no stove in the room, a few coals on a shovel or other convenient utensil may be carried into the room sm the sulphur dropped on the coals, a little ^experience soon enabling anyone to determine how modi sulphur to born in each

room.

Dennis Hanks was born in Kentucky in 1T99, and although 80 years of age is still a hale, hearty gentleman. He is known in the

DENWI8 HAirn.

vicinity of his home by all the boys as "Uncle Dennis," and he never tires of telling them about his tutorsliip of Abraham Lincoln. He is nine years older than Lincoln would have been had he lived, and remembers well when his pupil was born. It was in Spencer county, Ind., that Lincoln grew to manhood, and in his early days there were no schools. Lincoln's mother partly taught him his letters, but died before he had acquired the entiire alphabet, and Dennis TTanlrs, who was quite a scholar for those times, taught little Abe not only to read, but to write and spelL The pupil learned rapidly, and it was not a great while before he was far ahead of his teacher as regards literary attainments.

It is not necessary to fill the room so

full of these fumes as to cause suffocation, and if a little too much sulphur is used, cansiilg offensive fumes, the doors and windows may be opened for a minute or two. The writer affirms that this is the most practical ind effectual method of disinfection against foe spread of disease that can be adopted that it is useful in the house infected and in neighboring houses.

People-of Low Vitality^

lie flannel band is the most important garment of batftee and young children, and now an authority on health urges that it should be worn daring the entire year by persons, young or old, of low vitality, who live in se•epe and uiangeable climate* It may be made of three grades of flannel, to suit all —ton'i. Properly made, gored over the hips an4 carefully pinned from the sternum down, it Often does away with the need of a flannel petticoat with its tight band. Furnishing stores now afford bandages of red or white wool knitted on a machine in lengthwise ribs like stocking legs. These cling closely t? the body without fastening and are superior in convenience to the flannel band. Tbey come in different sixes tor children and grown peopleand are much worn as aprotection for the bowels and. kidneys.

When to Bathe.

$a the matter of taking a h&th there are certain important conditions to be observed. A^full bath should not be taken immediately eating, or when the body is overheated le suffering from temporary physical

Ion. The temperature of the water is it. Adults are apt to have it warmer it need be, and as the tendency is to relong in a worm bath, the best physical are not Obtained. In some respects time to take a bath is just after getSutvof bed in the morning. Other contimes which are also healthful are 10 an$p2 in the morning, 4 and 6 in Afternoon or just before getting into bed.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Who Bows First—Graceful Introductions. Addreulng Invitations. "A great deal of nonsense has been talked," says Louise Chandler Moulton, "about whose place it is to bow first when a lady and gentleman meet on the street or in any public assembly. It is very absurd to say that a man should always wait until a lady has recognised him. In this, as in most matters, common sense and mutual convenience are the only guides. Many ladies are near sighted others find difficulty in remembering faces. Are they because of these drawbacks to be always debarred of the pleasure of a chance meeting with some agreeable man! The important thing, of course, is that a man shall not presume. "When two people meet who are really acquainted, it is not the man who should necessarily bow first or the lady—it is simply whichever is the first 0 perceive and recognise the other. If a lady is walking and meets a man whom she knows well and who desires to speak with her, be will not, of course, commit the awkwardness of keeping ho* ahmdfag in the street, bat if he has time will beg permission to join her for a few minutes and walk beside her long enough for a brief chat."

Agreeable Manner of Introducing. It is well for a lady in preeenting two strangers to say something which may break the ice and make the conversation easy and agreeable, suggests Mrs. Sherwood as, for instance, "Mrs. Smithy allow me to present

Fall Dress

Full evening dress for a gentleman consists of a dress suit, a self tied bow of white cambric or mull, lavender gloves and patent l-ft* shoes. With the latter it is the correct thing to wear black silk half hose, with or without embroidered docks of same color.

A Badge for the Veteran.

For special bravery upon the battlefield the French soldier receives the Cross of the Legion of Honor, the Prussian the Iron Cross, the British the Victoria Medal, and so on throughout the armies of the world. Oar own government, however, permits no official medals, excepting a very limited few provided by act of congress. The Grand Army of the Republic has devised a metal button, and the Loyal Legion one of red, white and blue silk, which are worn in the upper buttonhole of the left lapel of the coat. The right to wear either of these badges was won on the battlefield by weary marches and faithful service in the Union armies during the late war. It may be vanity, bat the men who are entitled to this distinction are proud of it I dont know that I deserve any special credit for doing my duty under fire, as well as elsewhere, but you know a fellow is naturally proud of the fact that when the rub came he had the nerve to stay ucre like a man.

I have noticed of late a great variety of devices worn by people said to be members of various secret societies precisely in the same manner, and to the casual observer identical with the button of the Grand Army. To the outsider doubtless these men are veterans of many battles, while to old soldiers they are people sailing under false colors, and are regarded with that contempt which morally follows snch knowledge. I am not aware of any law forbidding the wearing of major general's shoulder straps by any civilian, but public opinion would scarcely tolerate such an act If a man in Europe should wear as close an imitation of the medals referred to as exists in thi3 instance he would be arrested and severely punished.—G.
