SCIENCE AlfB PROGRESS.

DEVICE SHOWING THE CONDUGTIVITY OF METALS FOR HEAT. r*S

Mention of Some of the Small Things t. that Kill—Experiment* of a Pleasing and Simple Nature That Furnish Scientifle Uecreatlon.

A pleasing experiment can be made, acoording to La Nature, as follows: Take a wooden penholder with a metal top and paste apiece of paper upon it so that it cov£otb apart of Ijoth the wood and the metal.

A PLKASIKO EXPERIMENT.

Heat the paper over a spirit lamp, or an ordinary lamp or gas flame will answer, if it be held far enough away to avoid smoking the paper. By heating carefully, that part of the paper attached to the wood will become charred, whilo that against the metal will remain white. The metal, bring a good conductor, carries tho lirat away from the paper, whilo the wood, being poor conductor, allows it to remain, and the paper becomes charred.

The conductivity of metals for heat is admirably shown by the simple device represented in the cut reproduced from Scientific American, in which journal also occurs the following description:

TRANSMISSION OF IIKAY BV METALS. To a strip, A, of iron are attached ntrips, C, of brass nnd copjscr. Tho ends of all tho strips ore bent upward and inwnrd, and tho ends of the strips nro split and curved to form loojw for loosely holding matches, the sulphur ends of which rest. upo:i the strips by their own gravity. The junction of tho strips iahented oa shown. The match on tho copper strip ignites ilrst, that on tbc brass next, and that upon tho iron last, showing that, of the three metals, copper i:» tho best conductor of beat and iron 1)19 poorest.

Small TIiIntf* Thai Kilt.

The newspapers have wariunl the public against swallowing tho seed oft 'igrrtpeB^ oranges, etc., because of tho danicor of such substances getting into a small intestinal tag or cul-do-sac, oalkvl by doctors tho appendix vermiformis. This,exphiinsa correspondent in Tho Hartford Times, ia a receptacle formed at tho junction of tho large and small intestines, but its use or object no physician knows. It has boon thought to bo a rudimentary or incomplete formation or poaiibly some meaningless survival of a lost anterior type. At any rate, its existence, whilo presenting no apparent "reason for being," as the French say, is, on tho other haud, a positive and constant source of danger, because of tho liability of its becoming tho receptacle of some undigested seed or other indigestible substance. Iu that case it produces a state of inflammap*atlon, which, in nearly all cases, proves fatal. Fortunately, but few seeds among the great number bo heedlessly swallowed seem to get into this little death trap, although any ono seems likely to lodge there. Perhaps moro oases of inflammation of the bowels than the doctors mtspoct may be, in reality, duo to this obscure and di«rogar«|pd cause. -, ^4

Height of Chlmti*?*.

A well proportioned chimney of neat dosign, from 200 to 300 feet high, says Locomotive, is always an imposing structure, and an omit 110111 to a largo manufacturing establishment, but it may well be questioned if it is over worth whilo to build them over 1150 feet high. Where cost is no consideration thore is no objection to building them as high as ono pleases but for tho purely utilitarian purpose of steam making, wo have yet to find a case where it was necessary to build a chimney more than ISO feet high, and in many eases where this height has beeti reached equally good results might bave been attained with a shorter chimney, at not much more than one-half the cost. After a sufficient height has been reached to produce draught of sufficient intensity to burn fine, hard coal, provided the area of the chimney is large enough, there seems no good mechanical reason for adding further to the height, whatever the slse of the chimney required.

A Boost unusual phenomenon, which occurred in the laboratory of the University of Virginia, has been described by Mr. Mallet, the professor of chemistry of (hat establishment. During a severe storm toe was formed in lbs glass vessel of a gaxogene, the familiar apparatus for charging water with carbonic add gas. The expansion of the k» burst the vessel, after which the ice itself exploded repeatedly, and throw off fragments, with a crackling sound.

PHYSIOLOGY AND CVGIENE.

Tea a

Slow Poison to Not few People* Belief for Acute Bhru ustiim.

The assertion that tea is a poison Is received with incredulity by majority erf readers, and tea drinkers as a class express doubts as regards the correctness of alleged poisonous properties of tea. Popular Science News, in discussing the subject, cites numerous instances of individuals of this class who were themselves suffering from tea poisoning. Their nerves were in a terribly abnormal condition, the heart and brain were functionally disturbed, and the sleep lens in quantity and lees refreshing than it should be.

Tea contains much tannin and an alkaloid principle remarkably akin to cocaine, says the authority quoted. Theine and cocaine both, wten internally administered, produce exaltation of the nervous system and increased powers of physical endurance. The brain is largely influenced in its functions, and long periods of wakefulness are induced. Continued use of strong infusions of either coca (Mr tea result in great disturbance of nervous centers and functional offices, and either will produce fatal results by persistent use of inordinate quantities.

A cup of tea as served at tea tables contains usually but a trace of the alkaloidal principle, but infinitesimal quantities are capable of exerting baneful effects upon some tea drinkers. The tannin found in tea does not differ from the agent found in oak and other barks which the tanners use to convert the raw hides of animals into leather. It is a powerful astringent, and consequently, taken internally, is apt to produce constipar tion and its attendant evils. Confirmed tea drinkers are usually troubled with constipated bowels, and hence with dyspepsia, the king of evils. Not all tea drinkers are thus afflicted, but the number is by no means small.

Mild infusions of tea are undoubtedly serviceable to many, when not used to excess and it may be further stated that a cup or two of tea taken during the day, at meals, rarely influences unfavorably vital processes in any one, unless they are confirmed invalids. It is rather the abuse of tea, than its use, that causes serious physical evils. Four or six cups of tea taken during each twentyfour hours will in time produce tea poisoning and greater or less evil results.

Acute llhenmatlsm of the Joint*

For external applications in acute articular rheumatism, Journal of Health regards mustard poultices as the most efficacious. The uso of these should be commenced at once, as soon as tho joints become painful. If only a small number are affected, poulticoa can be applied to each simultaneously, or in succession until all are treated. When new joints become involved, renewed applications are demanded in fact, the disease should bo ''chosen-' from one affected portion to another. The poultices may be applied twice daily, and after their use the inflamed joints should ba wrapped in dry cotton wool, and then bandaged neatly and lightly with flannel. Some authors claim that these coverings are useless, but all who have suffered from the disease can testify that exposure of the joints, even to the warm air of the sick room, aggravates tho pain.

The Krat Medicines.

Sunlight and pure air are the very best medicines, especially for children and elderly people, and the moro hours they get of these tho better are their chances for life and health.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Gifts That

Gentleman May Appropri

ately Send to Feminine Friends.

Flowers are an appropriate remembrance upon every occasion, whether of joy or sorrow, illness, recovery to health, taking leave for a distant part or arriving hops.

At all times a man may send flowers to a girl friend, and she may accept them with propriety. They are always safe and complimentary, assorts feminine authority. Indeed, arranged with the consummate skill of a modern florist, who must be something of an artist in color harmony, and placed in a gilded basket, fringed with maiden hair and tied with a lovely wide satin ribbon, they area fitting tribute to offer to beauty and sweetness.

Beside flower*, the same authority suggests for anniversaries and cither days presents of dainty boa bon boxes that come in all degrees of luxury, that are so pretty on mantels or table after the contents have been enjoyed. They make pretty work receptacles.

Music is suitable and acceptable, or any of the handsomely bound poets a new novel or magazine are desirable gifts.

Pets are allowable, when not too extravagant-* rare kitten, a toy dog or singing bird. If a man is clever and paints, a j. tel or black and white makes a charming sw *re» nir. In fact, any pretty article that be can fashion by his own handiwork is cure to be pleasing. A pretty little whip can be givea a girl who rides. When any of these gifts are received it is incumbent upon the recipient to acknowledge them within a reasonable time in a pleasant little note, sfejfev* I ..." 1

How to Act Rhymes

Fresli Air nt Night.

Jenny Juue tells of a lady who for years, during the winter months, rose at night after her husband was asleep, and noiselessly opened a window about two inches, top and lo( torn. If he knew of it he would dcclarc it gavo liini cold if he did not know of it ho was not affected, except that he would get up particularly bright and well, and frequently l-emarked to his wife: "You see it is nil nonsense, your idea about opening tho wiiulows such weather as this. I have no headache, never felt better in my life, and if you would tell the truth you would say tho same." His wife always rose first, closed the window as noiselessly as she had opened it, and turned on the register.

Rub frequently with a bit of alum slightly moistened. Cut the end off an Irish potato, and rub the potnto 011 the wart two or three times a day, cutting a slice from the potato each time used. Surer than any of these is to touch the excresence every day with one of the convenient little caustic pencils to bo obtained at a drug store.

Some Movement,

Grimace or Inarticulate Sound—A Tragic Chapter from the Kn^lish History of Long Ago.

The tragical fate of Lady Jane Grey is well known to readers of English history. Shewas the granddaughter of Mary Tudor, sister of Henry Till, and of Charles Brandon, Daie of Suffolk. She was born at Broadgate, Leicestershire, in 15S7.

LADY JAHK GRBV.

Being educated as a Protestant, and possessing talents and accomplishments which rendered her one of the ornaments of her sex, the Duke of Northumberland, by his intrigues, prevailed on- JBdfoard VI to name her his successor to the English throne, thereby excluding his sistert, Mary and Elizabeth. Having secured hfy purposes with the king, Northumberland lporried, in 1553, his fourth son, Lord Guildford Dudley, to Lady Jane Grey, then only 16 yeajs old. On the demise of Edward VI ^ady Jane was proclaimed queen at Siori ho&se against her will. After a phantom royalty of nine days, she and her husband were taken prisoners by Queen Mary, and both beheaded on the 12th of February, 1554. All contemporary writers agree that Lady Jane Grey was singularly gifted and accomplished, and of most.engaging disposition.

Lady Jane reigned only ten days. Sho met her fate with remarkable firmness, making a brief address in which she confessed the justico of her sentence, but said: "I only consented to the thing I was forced into."

FIRST RULE IN WRITING A CODE OF GOOD MANNERS.

Give Tour Whole Attention to Whoever May Be Talking to Too—A Useful Habit to Form—An Unspoken Compliment* a

Our little village has been full of strangers lately, and a friend and I started off the other day to make around of morning calls. At our first stopping place, a young lady, with a fair sweet face lighted by the brightest and bonniest of blue eyes, was brought in to see us. I was delighted when she took a seat near me, and turned with considerable vigor to open the conversation. She met my advances languidly, looked down at the embroidered initial of her handkerchief, or studied my card case, or, worst of all, seemed distracted by the group at the other end of the room. My indignation rose steadily, and as soon as politeness allowed, I made my bow and said "Good morning."

Or HIGH GOOD HUMOR.

Two or three more visits brought us to a house where there was another strange girL The guest fell to my share again. Drawing her chair toward me with a friendly little hitch, she seemed to forget that there was any one else in the room, and gave me (not my clothes) her undivided attention as long as we stayed. It was refreshing, and I went off on my rounds again in high good humor. She was not nearly so pretty as the other girl, but I Soon found that I was not the only one whose heart she had completely captivated.

Perhaps in writing a code of good manners this rule should be put first: Give your whole attention to whoever may bo talking to yon. I once heard a little child say of a famous b&V), "Oh, she's awful nice! She loves to hear about my dollies." There it is. We like the people who like us, who are interested in our pet project, or, at any rate, will listen to our rhapsodies over it—really listen.

I do not think a pretense of attention is ever safe. It may be the merest commonplace that is doled put to you but fix your mind on it, and bipsides saving your companion the chagri? of finding himself unheeded, you form a most useful habit. Many persons miss a largepart of the sermons and lectures they attend,.simply because they are unused to concentrat^ their thoughts. When a laugh runs round the audience at some 6ly hit of the speaker, ^r a burst of applause greets his flash of eloquence, these listless friends of ours are' roused to nudge their neighbors and whispfr, "What was thatf1

GIVING HONEST ATTENTION.

Then there is scarcely anybody (is there a single person?) who,tin his best vein, cannot say something of interest and there is no surer way of bringing out his best than by this unspoken compliment of honest attention. The most of us are probably not so overstocked with information as not to wonder a little at that assertion which Carlyle made after spending months in London: "Do not find a single creature\that lias communicated an iden to me.n & lesser mortals we could easily say whoso fatdt that had been but we must not meddlo with the judgments of the great Mr. Carlyle. 1

I know a young man, ugly, awkward, and with absolutely none of the so called "small talk." A most unpromising subject for a ladies' man, and yet this is the opinion given of him by a befrizzled, beflounced, bright eyed young miss, who has half the boys of the village running aft$r her: "Do you know Mr. McDeant Isn't he lovely? Tremendously learned, you know, but not the least bit 'scary.' Actually listened to every word poor little I said, and seemed to expect me to talk sense. I felt dreadfully funny talking aboat books and that, buMt was awfully entertaining. I begin to think I have one or-two ideas, really." —"Sajum Sarjum" in Deniorest's Monthly.
