SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

BERNARDOS' PROCESS OF WELDING METALS BY ELECTRICI'

The Relation Between Beafnett mad Sfnteneu Not a XeceMiiry One—Deafo«M Compared With mindnes*—A Simple

Way of rrodncing a Mercurial Shower.

A very simple way of producing a mercurial shower was recently illustrated and explained in Scientific American, and is here reproduced for the benefit of our readers.

MERCURIAL SHOWER.

In the neck of an Argand chimney (see cut) is inserted a plug of Malacca wood, which is sealed around the periphery with wax or parafflne. In the top of the chimney is inserted a stopper, through which projects a short glass tube, having its upper end bent over, or capped with a small test tube. To the outer end of the glass tube is applied a rubber tube. When the chimney is in an inverted position, as shown in the engraving, a quantity of mercury is placed in the larger part of tho chimney, and the air is partly exhausted by applying the mouth to the rubber tube and sucking. The mercury readily pai«e« through tho porous wood and falls in a shower. By employing an air pump for producing tho partial vacuum, tho mercury may be drawn through a plug of pine. These experiments show in a striking jwnner tho porosity in a longitudinal direction of these pieces of wood.

Sold or hue by Electricity. The procesK described by M. Von Bernardos, of St. Petersburg, of welding or soldering metals by electricity, appears to be a success. American Artisan, in a report on tho subject, describes how a carbon roil is used, one pole of which is in connection with a dynamo clectric current and the other connected with the piece to bo soldui-ed. The manipulation is not only simple, but metals can be perfectly soldered which hitherto were quite obdurate. Bernardos not only welded wrought iron with wrought iron, but wrought iron with cast iron and with steel iron was soldered tocopiKraiid brass, etc., and wrought iron coated with load, tin and copper and to a thickness of ten millimeters.

WJSLMXO HHKBT lllOX BY KI/KCTRrCtTT. Fig. 1 shov.-u two pieces of sheet irou that are to bo welded or soldered together. If tho soldering is to bo specially strong it is batter to lay tho two sheets with their edge somewhat over another and join these last with the shoot as shown in Fig. 12. A stronger junction is shown in Fig & Those joinings ai-o especially useful for kitchcn utensils and large sheet iron work. It is generally reckoned that a good riveted ream is only seven-eighths as strong as the whole iron, but welding by tho clectric current shows nine-tenths. Fig. 4 shows a soldering for bottoms of vessels of japanned sheetwaixs. The sample is taken from tho lxttom of a petroleum vessel Another combination has the soldering running zig-Kig and tho Russian technical men say that it is the best.

Interesting Facts About Deaf Mutes. Tae probable average ratio of deaf mutes to the population at largo is 1 to 1,500, and this would give about a million deaf mutes in the world and yet (in tho United States at least) the doaf form the smallest element of tho defective classes, includiug under this term the blind, deaf, idiotic and insane. Deafness is a disease of childhood, and the number of deaf persons of school age is double that of the blind. There are about six deaf males to five deaf females, and tho notion that tho deaf have an immunity from other diseases of the sense organs is not borne out. Among the causes of deafness tho intermarriage of near relatives is regarded as a serious on®. That the intermarriage of deaf mutes is a fertile source of the increase of doaf mntw is now generally admitted, and some regard one-third of all cases as duo to this origin. A very large number of deaf mutes are deaf from their birth and of those who become deaf a very large percentage lose their hearing in the fl?*t, second or third year of life. After this tho liability to deafness rapidly decreases. There are about 33,000 deaf mutes in the United states.

The relation between deafness and muteness i* not a necessary one it is because the oar educates the vocal mechanism that doaf persons become mute, not because their vocal organs are not correctly formed. This fact makes it possible to tench the deaf to vocalize and the system by which they nrr tanVt to read the sounds on the lipscT

'THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

gome, Information About ifjaeen Victoria'*

5MM »W

to Molt Readers.

Now comes one who throws discredit on all previous stories as to the queen's family name:

Queen Victoria has no other name* than flint, given her in baptism. Her name is not Guelph. That was the baptismal name of an ancestor./ To say that her name is Guelph because she is a descendant of Guelph of Bavaria, or a member of the house of Guelph, is as ridiculous as to say that the name of a descendant of or member of the house of William the Conqueror is Williams. Nor is her name Wettin. That supposition is more ridiculous still than the "Guelph" superstition. 8he married a descendant of the counts of Wettin, but no descendant of the king of Bulgaria will ever be Mr. Bulgaria, and no descendant of the counts of Wettin ever be Mr. Wettin. It has not been necessary for all people to assume surname^ and very few royal or princely families have taken them. Louis XVI was indicted as Louis Capet, but he informed the court that it was mistaken, as he had no surname, and on his authority it may safely be assumed that neither the house of Orleans nor the house of Bourbon enjoys that distinction. Charles Stuart of TCngiand came from the Stuart family and hwd a family name (changed to Stuart from Fitzalan), and so did Henry VII, grandson of Owen Tudor. The duke of Modena has none, and the duke of Bedford is Mr. Russell the duke of Birkenhead has none, and the duke of Montrose is Mr. Graham.

The Beginning of Printing. It is probable that the earliest impressions were taken by a mallet and planer (a smooth faced block of wood used for leveling the type before printing), as proof slips now often are, or by a brush, in the Chinese manner but presses were soon invented for the purpose. There are engravings representing the press as it existed about 1520. It was large enough to print two folio pages, and for this two pulls were required. The force was applied by a simple screw and lever. About 1620 Blaeuw, of Amsterdam, produced a greatly improved press, which, with little alteration, continued in use for more than a century and a half. The press upon which Benjamin Franklin worked in London, in 1725, is preserved in the patent office at Washington. It is a clumsy structure, almost entirely of wood, known as the Kamage press, of which many were still in use more than a century later. Iron was subsequently used for some of the parts, until the beginning of tho present century. Printing machinery, now brought to such a high degree of perfection, was not much ahead of Franklin's time lifty years ago.

Tho First American Abolitionist. Samuel St-.vail, chief justice of Massachusetts from 1 TIN to 17C8, when ho resigned o% nccou of ago :d infirmities, seems to have been tho flrst outspoken abolitionist in our country, having written a tract against nlavery, in which ho gave it as his opinion that thcro would be "no progress in gospeling" until slavery should bo abolished. Jud' Sewf.11 was born at BisbopsgatQ, England, Mar 1052, graduated at Harvard university in lri, and died January, 1730. Ho studied divinity, preached awhile, came into the pes^siou of wealth by marriage, by viarryiug the daughter of a Boston goldsmith, and was aiu.ua!ly chosen a member of the ouiicil from 10tX) until 1725. He was judge from II12 until 1718, when he became chief justice. Judge So wall shared in the general belief of witches and witchcraft, concurring in tho condemnation of many of tho accused, but he afto*ivarM«riuUi«ly big. error.

Cremation.

Tho first furnaco for tho cremation in America of bodies of the dead was erected at Washington, Pa., in 1S7((, by Dr. F. J. Le Moiue, at a cost of $1,(KK). Tho first cremation (that of Baron do Palm) took place Dec. 0 of tho same year. The process occupied about two hours, and was very successful in its results. Tho ashes weix placed in an urn. The process socrned objectionable- to many, ind sonic excitement wns caused throughout the couutry. Since then crematories have been erected in several largo cities, and the process of cremation is not regarded with much curiosity.

A Suggestion for liulcpenocnce. Alter tho proclamation of ICing George III, in 1775, Joseph Huwley, ono of tho stanch patriots of New England, wrote from W atertown to Samuel Adams, in congress: "The eyes of all tho continent are on your body to too whether you act with firmness and intrepidity, with tho spirit and dispatch wjiich our situation calls for. it is time for your body to fix on periodical annual elections, nay, to form into a parliament of two houses." This was the first proposition for the establishment of an independent national government for tho coloniesL

Tlio Game of "Birds Fly."

"Did you ever play 'Birds Fly? so asked ono of Golden Days readers, and at once the rest were ready.

Tho leader laid the palms of his hands on his knees, and then lifting them suddenly exclaimed: "Birds fiyl You must all follow me," he said. "Now then, birds fly, crows fly, bees ay,

He lifted his hands as ho mentioned each animal, and the company did the same. "No, no," he cried, "cats don't fly. Ton must only lift you hand when it is'something that flies. Try again. Birds fly, geese fly, hawks fly, brickbats fly."

W' wero cautious this timo and did not lift our hands at "brickbats fly," so we had to pay forfeit, for brickbats do fly. Again we tried "Birds fly," swallows fly, hdrsc-fly."

Again wo wero caught, tho smart young man declaring that ho only mentioned tho creature's name, and did not say it flew. Ho was bound to mnko it wrong whichever way wp did. Thero was very little to do. It was short but merry. t,

A Handkerchief Trick.

Tho trick illustrated in the cut and described not long sinco in Golden Days, is an old one, but will bo new to many of our youug readers, and is furthermore an easy one to perform.

The performer borrows a handkerchief with which to play a'trick. He asks permission to mark it so that the owner may know it again, but does this in an unexpected manner and to tho distress of the owner, by apparently snipping apiece out of the center with a pair of scissors.

Perceiving the owner's anxiety, the performer says: "Really, I am extremely sorry to have alarmed you, but there is no occasion for distress, I can easily repair the damage done," so saying he gives tho handkerchief a rub between liis hands and spreads it out a it in re

THE HANDKEREXPLAINED.

The

beautiful city of Naples is at ono horn, and at the other, nine miles to the south, rises the well, known volcano Mount Vesuvius. Vesuvius is a solitary mountain, rising majestically from the plain of Campania,

having

the base a circumference of about thirty miles and dividing at a certain height into two summits. The height of Vesuvius is about 4,000 feet

VESUVIUS IN ERUPTION.

The first eruption recorded in history occurred in the year 79 A. D. Previous to this Vesuvius was not suspected to be a volcano. Its sides were covered with famous vines, and its ancient crater, partly filled with water, formed the stronghold of the rebel chief, Spartacus. It was at this eruption that the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried in ti^B torrent of wind and ashes which was ejected, and that the elder Pliny was suffocated in the sulphurous vapor. Since that famous eruption Vesuvius has been an active volcano, and has been frequently in eruption, some sixty great and numerous small ones having taken place. Numbered with the most remarkable eruptions is the one that occurred in 1779, when Vesuvius, not content with rumbling noises and puffs of smoke, began to pour forth lava, then jets of red hot stones and ashes made their appearance, and increased in number and intensity until great volumes of white clouds rose from the crater to a height of four times that of the mountain. Following these clouds came columns of fire and streams of burning lava. A brilliant eruption, but one much less destructive than that above, occurred in 1878^ i:

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Poivoned by Eating Nutmegs—The Increasing Use of Sforphla, Chloral, Etc. Foreign medical journals have reported several cases of nutmeg poisoning during the past summer In four or the cases a whole nutmeg was taken, and in the fif^h case five whole nutmegs.

The following instance is particularly noteworthy, first for the small quantity (rather over half of an ordinary sized nutmeg) which produced the symptoms, and secondly, for .tho very marked effect on the heart and circulation. The patient, a strong, healthy woman, grated the nutmeg, and mixed it with a glass of hot ale, which she drank at bedtime. An hour after she felt some nausea, but got to deep. Awakened about 2 a. m., feeling very cold and with a sensation of pricking in the skin, and with her "heart beating at a racing speed." When a physician, Dr. Pinnock, of Victoria, Australia, caw her, two hoars later, the surface of the body was everywhere cold and pale pupils dilated, respiration sighing, and pulse almost imperceptible and uncountable. The doctor gave her hot brandy and water immediately, and mustard applications to epigastrium and extremities also a mustard emetic, As this did not act, he gave her, about fifteen minutes subsequently, onetenth grain apomorphir,, which produced free vomiting in a few minutes. The vomited fluids contained nutmeg unmistakably. After this the pulse strengthened, became more steady, and warmth returned to the surface. Much drowsiness continued and, after taking some more hot brandy and water, she went to sleep. Next day she was much better, and the day after was fully recovered, and able to attend to household dutiea

Dr. W. T. Dodge, of Michigan, reports in Medical Record that two children, a girl about 4 years of age, and a boy about 8, who had been left at a farm house alone all day, were discovered acting strangely on the return of the family in the evening. An investigation discovered pieces of nutmegs about the house, and the little girl stated that she had eaten one, but had vomited, and that the boy had eaten two. He was in a semi-comatose condition, and in spite of all that could be done by the physician the little fellow died early the next morning.

The Habitual Use of Sedatives. Every little while occurs some sad instance of the folly of a reckless or careless use of narcotics. It is almost to be regretted, says London Lancet, that so many agents capable of producing mimic, or poisoned, sleep ore known to the profession and to the public. It is now the exception, instead of the rule, to find a man or woman of middle age who is not more or less addicted to the abuse of morphia, chloral, bromide of potassium, or some of the many sleep inducers or pain relievers which the Nineteenth century has distinguished itself by evolving for the care and comfort of our less enduring and increasingly sensitive and excitable humanity. It is nothing to the purposo that the deleterious effects of these potent drugs, when taken habitually, even in small quantities, have been again and again exposed. Those who have learned to purchase unconsciousness or ease at what seemed to be a very small price, are only too ready .to renew the experience when any fresh cause of sleeplessness or pain arises.

The victims of the abuse must n6t simply be counted by those who die of it, but by those who are left to drag out miserable lives, tho victims of "cravings" and nameless and numberless sufferings which morphia, chloral, bromide—now cocaine—and a uow vi

in producing. Sooner or later some strong measure will need to be taken with the view of arresting this really serious' 'habit" of taking sedatives, which is extending its influence and gaining strength year by year. Meanwhile, we do very earnestly counsel our readers to refrain from having recourso to these drugs.

Flannels for Day and Night.

"Never sleep in tho same flannels that have been worn during the day," is an oft repeated picce of advice, as ofton unheeded. Tho habit of wearing tho same undervest day and night is an unhealthy one and .repugnant to a nice sense of cleanliness.

Care of Perspiring Feefe1-

To remove the odor of porspiring feet, wash them daily. If something more is required, take ono part of salicylic acid and five parts of powdered starch, and sprinklo on the soles of the stockings. (S»T«S^

W SOCIAL ETIQUETTE^

•M

In going into society an unknown young man, who receives an invitation to a ball, must seek an introduction to a young lady through her chaperon. In our crowded ballrooms, where there are often three ladies to one gentleman, the chaperons are generally very happy to accedo to this request.

Nothing can excuse a young man for the absence of good manners, and he should remember that a ballroom introduction means that, he is intended to dance with tho young lady, and that womanhood should always command respect, although ho may bo somewhat annoyed, perhaps, by the persistent efforts of some ambitious wall flowers that he should "take her out" whether he will or no, he must never forget his good manners.

While it is considered very proper to ask for invitations for gentlemen to a dance, it is not considered proper to ask for invitations for ladies. The hostess, however, has alwajj the refuge of saying that ber list is fulL No offense should be taken if this request is refused.

At all public balls there should be a committee of ladies to receive. The elegance of a ball depends very much upon the presence of a reoognized hostess.

FOR GROWING MINDS.

THE NEEDS SUPPLIED BY KINDERGARTEN SYSTEM.

Creative Powers of the Young.

A great deal is done for the children of the well to do in Ibis country, and their interests rule in many households, but the training of the little ones is not systematic, and tends largely to selfishness. They must all speak French or German, and this is well, but there is no mental, moral or physical training to be gained from a foreign nu.se. They walk in the streets in an orderly, uninterested fashion, and return home to their toys, which are real works of art and ingenuity, lenving no i-oom for invention or imagination on the pare of tho child, and yet mora joy and growth comes to a child from playing cars with plain blocks than from playing with perfect models of the real article. With the blocks thtj fancy, the imagination, the real inventive power is at work, and this is what the child wants for his proper development.

The families of our richest citizens are often very small, so that the social element is lost for the little one. There is a keen pleasure in playing with others of their own age and intellectual development. All children over 3 years old quickly measure their physical and mental ability with that of a littlo stranger, and soon learn that what one lacks the other has, so that after all it is a fairly even distribution of power. The littlo tot who has been flattered at home for his French accent finds that Bob speaks German equally well, and Mary can sing, and Katie repeats little bits of poetry. The egotism thus melts away and the petted darling realizes that it is from affection that the flattering words have come, and not on account of his or her being "so smart"

WHAT IS MOST XftXDfiD.

Tbo kindergarten supplies much that is most needed for the quick witted, but often superficial or spoiled, American child. Th« systematic training in accuracy and consecutive thought, the thorough elementary training in form, numbers' and color, not from book knowledge, where ideas are like "prepared food," but from tangible blocks, bits of wood, paper, sticks, rings, etc., placed before the child, so that by consiant handling of these simplest forms the great ground principles of geometry and numbers inevitably grow in the child's mind as an evolution of bis own brain this is practical education, and as planned by the wisdom of the child loving Froebel is a joy and no task. Spend an hour with these little ones, whose nurseries are crowded with elaborate mechanical tojg go then into their kindergarten and seo thdfr interest in a simple bundlo of little plain sticks. They lay them in perfect squares, and one little ono looks up all aglow. "Why, my handkerchief is a square," "And so is my big picture book," chimes in another. And so they talk of things present and things in memory until the form is fixed uid familiar. They are growing stronger and better than they would be playiug with a wound up top. Then they aro busy they weave, and realize that it is work they ftol tho labor of making a paper mat, and often recognizing tho snmo pattern in curtains or dress goods have a sense of respect for the labor.

The occupations of the kindergarten touch upon all knowledge and trades, giving deftness of fingering with and without tools.

03 charming to tho child, and the pie will keep. Ono boy was so charmed with his work of modeling in tho kindergarten that he melted his sister's old wax doll and made a neat littlo tea set out of tho wax, which quite compensated his sister for tho loss of the eyeless doll. Thus tho crentivo power is encouraged instead of tho destructive, and the ve«ilt, is an added power, which is a pleasure at tho moment and of positive and lasting advantage.

V-

Manners and Customs That Prevail at Balls and Dances* Balls and dances being now in full sway, as good authority as Mrs. Sherwood notes, in The and Express, a few points that may bo of assistance to those not quite familiar with the social requirements of such occasions:

GRADUATE'S EXPKRIENCB.

A Harvard graduate once told the writer that ho felt the lienefit of his kindergarten geometry all through his college mathematics. Things were clear to him that other fellows found much difficulty in understand ing. Professor Hill prepared a geometry for his own children, to bo used from 5 to 7 yearn of age, saying, "It will bo found that children of this age are quicker at comprehending first lessons in geometry than those of 15. I wish to teach him to conceive of forms. The child's powers of sensation aro developed before his powers of conception, and these come before his reasoning powers. This is, therefore, the true order of education. Geometrical facts are fitted to arouse a child to the observation of phenomena and to the perception of forms as real entities." A professor in a German university stated publicly that in his classes in mathematics he could pick out tho kindergarten trained students.

Drawing and painting of the most elementary kind form an important part of this play work, and when the time comes for the three R's tho power of observation has been so quickened that reading is no work at all, the fingers aro so used to drawing and working that writing need not begin with pot books, but at once ra a symbol of an idea und it. aritbometic, the child having counted with blocks, etc., added, subtracted, multiplied and divided, ho needs only to have explained to him how to put it all on paper for con-' venience and it has lost its tedium. Time t» not lost. It is a gain in every way to give the little ones from 3 to 4 until they are 7 years old a thorough kindergarten training. The games give healthful exorcise, very unlike the tedious promenade. To fly about with arms extended, on tiptoes, in imitation of a bird, with a pretty song directing tho movements, is exhilarating. What child would not rather play so than to walk up and down alone with ite nurse? The selfishness of the spoiled or only child is cured by seeing how impossible it is to play happily unless all the children take an equal part. It is much easier to teach the golden rule by playing together than by years of precept.—New York Times. "V-T'fiSi

To-day yov look ever so much better, and it is very evident from your beaming face that your low spirits have taken flight." "Yes. indeed," was the reply: "and shall I tell vou what drove them away? It was Dr. IPierce's Favorite Prescription. I was a martyr to functional derangement until I began taking tho 'Prescription.' Now I am as well as ever I was in my life.
