SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

THE ACTUAL SIZE OF A FLOWER TOLD BY A SIMPLE CONTRIVANCE.

The Driven Well Patent Cut—Preserving tbe Color ot Flower*—Attraction wd StepnUion by A Magnet of tbe Same

Pleoe of Metal. *V lv w-^5. If apiece of metal is rapidly moved before the poles of a magnet, currents of electricity are induced in it, and, by their reaction upon tbe magnet tend to stop its motion. This principio is by no means new to the scientific world, it is practically made use of in tije construction of delicate galvanometers, where the oscillations of tho magnetic needle are controlled and "dampened by the proximity of amass of cogger. I

MAGNETIC ITOCCTIOir.

The illustration, taken from Popular Science News, furnishes a very simplo and effective way of showing this effect of induction. Atop is constructed out of apiece of tin or sheet iron. When it is at rest, the metal will bo attracted by a magnet In the usual way but if rapidly rotated, and the magnet brought over it, the induced currents will cause it to be repelled by the magnet. The energy of this repulsion will bo proportional to tho speed of rotation and, as this diminishes, the repulsion becomes less and lees, and at a certain point tho attractive influeuce is again exerted. If the poles of the magnet are held to the edge of the revolving disk—that is, parallel to the plane of rotation—the induced currents will neutralize each other, and no effect will bo observed.

This apparent paradox of tho attraction and repulsion by a mapriot of the same piece of metal, is a striking illustration of the effect of induced currents, and the experiment with the top, says tho authority quoted from, is especially well adapted to illustrate it in a lecture room or beforo a class of students.

A Device for Menturing HloMomf. Tho Journal of Horticulture has illustrated a devico by which tho actual or comparative sizo of flowers can be quickly and easil} measured.

DEVICE FOft MEASURING FLOWERS. It consists of apiece of thin wood or postoboard, 0:1 which a series of circles ia drawn, wiUi tho diameter of each marked upon it A slit is nut in this, extending to tho center and to measure tho diameter of a blossom it is only necessary to pass the stem of tho flower to tho center of tho board, when its size can lx measured at once by noting how many of tho circlos are covered by it. We think many persons will bo surprised at the difference betwoeu tho apparent and actual size of many llowers. "i.f 'i 1'renorvln the Color of Flower#.

A method of preserving tho color of flowers, recommendod by a German authority, consists In dusting salicylic acid on the plants as they lie in tho press, and removing it again with a brush whoa the flowers are dry. Roil colors in particular aro well preserved by thin agent. Another method of applying the same preservative Is to use a solution of ono part of salicylic acid in fourteen of alcohol by means of blotting paper or cotton wool soaked in it ami placed above and below tho flowers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly as good results. Dr. Sohonlcuul, in a paragraph contributed to Tho Gardeners' Chronicle, recovtimcuds, as an improvement in tho method of using sulphurous acid for preserving the color, that in tho caso of delicate flowers they might be placed looeely between sheets of vegetable parchment before inuuersion in the liquid, so as to preserve their natural farm.

ProfoMor Maria Mltclicll.

Miss Maria Mitchell, for many years professor of astronomy at Vassar college, has resigned her position. She was born in Nantucket, in 181& In 1847 she discovered acomot, il this mado her fame, tho king of Denmark giving her a gold medal in honor of tho achievement* She has sinco added seven other comets to her lists, being the first discoverer of all of them. 8ho visHod Europe shortly after 1847, and was them the guest ot Sir John Herschel and Sir George Airy, then astronomer royal at Greenwich. She holds thedegreoof LL.D. from three lostitutlw, the last being granted by Columbia r«ge. Her resignation was prompted solely by a desire for reet.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

iw |f« a Nervous People A Variety of Vsefal Snepesfiu The term "American nttTOinerf1 has become almost proverbial, and it is a popular belief that the nervous temperament is characteristic of tbe inhabitants of ther United States that all our affairs are conducted on the high pressure system and that our normal state is one of die highest excitements. To this alleged state of affairs is attributed the numerous "break downs," and cases of nervous prostration and insanity so frequently reported.

Popular Science News thinks that, like many other generally accepted beliefs, there is but little actual foundation in fact forsucb an idea. Tbe average American is well fed, warmly clothed, and properly cared for in every way. His average weight and size are folly equal to those of his transatlantic brother and the tall, sallow, lean and excitable individual supposed to represent the typical American, like the conventional Yankee or Irishman, is only to be found between tho covers of novels or in dramatic representations.

Let any one make a mental review of his acquaintances, and we venture to predict, says the authority quoted, that tho number of those who can fairly be considered as "nervous" will be very smalL

We cannot come to any other conclusion than that the Americans, as a people, have as strong nerves and as vigorous constitutions as any nation on earth. With tho general adoption of -modern comforts and conveniences, and the better sanitary conditions under which we live, tho death rate is constantly diminishing and the average length of life increasing.

Official Advice to Parents.

In certain German towns an official document, which contains, among other items, the following, is handed to every parent when the birth of a child is registered: "Keep the room free from dust, smoke and bad odors dont dry washed linen in it, or cover tho child's head with a veil, clothes or coverlet. The light must be somewhat softened during the first week or two, but care marft be taken not to leave tbe room in total darkness the night light must not smoke or flicker, great care to be taken with petroleum lamps, not to turn them too low temperature little over 50 degs. Fahr. Cleanliness is the condition of health child to be washed once a day regularly, the eyes, ears, nose and mouth as often as necessary. 'Carrying' cushions are to be used during tbe first three months, but to guard against tying it too tightly no tight clothing, no pins, ch^ld to be carried but little, and never 'daddled.' North and east winds to bo avoided. Mattress of horse hair, or hay, and often to be changed. A carefully choson foster mother strongly advised. Very injurious to 'suck the bottle,' rags of any sort, and probably the thumb. Diet—Avoid bread, potatoes or meat. In caso of prolonged crying, sickness or shortness of broath, promptly send for the doctor. Mark any redness of the eyelids, or tho child might lose its sight for life."

7 For Those Who Cannot Use Sngar.

The British Medical Journal predicts that saccharine tabloids—a remarkable product of chemical science—aro likely to como rapidly and extensively into use in laco of sugar, as they are of a convenient form for ordinary domestic purposes.

Ono tiny tabloid dropped iuto a cup of coffee or tea sweetens it most agreeably and innocuously, and thus th« diabetic or glycosuria patient, who has been so long deprived of tho pleasure of sweetening his food, can carry a little glass tube of theso tabloids in his waistcoat pocket, using them as he would lumps of sugar. One tabloid is the full equivalent in sweetening power of aa ordinary lump of white sugar.

Tftc liest Treatment for a Spralrf.

Professor Brinton says mat tno very best thing for a sprain is to put the limb into a vessel of very hot water immediately, then add boiling water as it can bo borno. Keep tho part immersed for twenty minutes, or until tho pain subsides then apply a tight bondage and order rest. Sometimes the joint can bo used in twelve hours. If necessary, uso a silicate of sodium dressing.

=. "Deathly staeptnosa."

Students and othera compelled to uso the brain a great dostl, often complain of a deathly sleepiness, an utter inability to hold the eyes open. This is not at all a disease of tho eyes, but merely nature's demand for her just dues. A physician in such a caso once recommended "a week's sleep," and it suf-

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE,

The Dalle* and Privileges of tbe "Best Man" at a Fanhlonable Wedding:.

A "best man" attends his friend to the altar, holds his hat and keeps tho ring unti' it is needed. He sends the bride a3 hand some a present as he can afford—a bracelet, fan, opera glass, piece of silver, or a pretty bit of furniture, a set of tea cups or a diamond star. He then officiates at the break fast, pays the clergyman (that is, acts as the groom's cashier), and throws the rice and the slipper after tho departing pair be is tho aid, tbe guide, the familiar friend. Thus does Harper's Basar define tho duties of this indispensable personage at the modern fashionable wedding. I $1

YOUNG FOLKS' COLUMN.

A SENSIBLE PLAN FOR MAKING COLLECTION OF BIRDS'. EGGS.

How Every Little Girl May Have a Base Jar of Her Own—All Abo at Toys and the People TPho Hake Then*—Other

Matters of Interest. Germany is famed for its wonderful toy factories and 2suremburg and Furtb are -Teat centers for tbe industry. Switzerland and the Southern Tyrol may safely be classed as toy land. Wood carving* is tbe principal occupation of many a mountain village, but in no place is it carried on to a greater extent than at St. Ulrich.

CHEAP TOTS.

One branch of it, indeed, the manufacture of wooden toys, particularly dolls, may be considered almost a specialty of the district, for the town of St Ulrich is the great storehouse of the toy traders of Europe and of the world. Whole families are engaged in this work, and it is a most curious sight to see them following tbe various ramifications of their Lilliputian industry. They make a Noah's ark and fill it with animals. Some families will cut out lions, tigers, elephants others sheep, oxen and deer still others will miil-B the odd little men and women so familiar with this toy. The coloring of these toys is quite another branch of the industry.

In France the ingenuity of the scientific workman produces the wonderful mechanical and musical toys. Tho finest dolls are made in France. Tho most expensive toys come from that country.

In our own country, of late years, have been made many toys, especially wooden and tin ones. Tho cheapness with, which toyfc— such, for example, as tho old fashioned Noah's ark, with its complement of animals —can be made is amarvel to the uninitiated. In the cut is shown a very simple method of producing objects of any given form in arge numbers and of precisely the same figure. Tho wooden ring shown in the picture looked like anything but a camel before a iece was cut out of it, but on slicing it up many camels will be produced of exactly cho same outline as is to be seen on the exposed end of the ring in tho picture. Other objects than camels, it need hardly be explained, are made in a similar manner.

A Rose Jar.

A pretty ornament, and at the same time a thing of joy, is a rose jar. Every girl ought to have ono in her room, and any girl, big or little, can mako one Golden Days tells her how. Handsome jars may bo bought in almost any fancy goods store, but any non--orous jar will answer the purpose, and its ugliness can be concealed by numerous de-, vices. The best way to make a pot poMgi

Jor

the jar is to put nothing into the jair but leaves and salt. Alternate tho layers of rose leaves and salt, pressing the salt down upQp the leaves. When the scent becomes evident the leaves of any other fragrant flower may be added, such as violet, heliotrope, lemon, ver-i bena, or oven geranium leaves. A jar filled in this way will remain a well of delicious oerfumo for months, flooding an apartment whenever the lid is removed.

Bird*' Effgs.

To those of our young naturalists who propose to make a collection of bird's eggs we will say it is not necessarily cruel to oo this. 3omo of tho kindest and most genial of men :ave been fond of tho pastime. Do not rob cry nest you meet with or take every egg you find

BIBDS' EOOB.

In the first place, you do not want a great number, but specimens of as many different Undo as possible. Two or three of each species will be amply sufficient, except where you meet with very strange specimens, either color, site or shape.

Tho eggs ought to be neatly blown by means of one hole underneath, not at the end. There aro instruments sold for this purpose at many stores. Once relieved of their contents, the eggs should be carefully mounted on a card with gum or glue. On this card should be written the namo of the bird to which the egg belongs, berth its scientific and its common name if you are not a good hand at making neat labels yourself, you can buy printed ones for the purpose. And here let me recommend you to learn tho scientific names of all our birds, as well as the English ones for you will in many cases find the same bird known by widely different ordinary names in various parts of tbe country and besides that, theso English names give you no help in classification. The scientific name is not only a name, but it gives you information at once as to what class the bird belongs. In science every animal has two names—a family name for, more strictly qwking, generic name) and a special name, answering to your suruamo and your Christian name. You know the use of surnames they tell us at once to what family James, Thomas and Mary belong. Thus you may have Smith James, Smith Thomas and Smith Mary. In like manner among birds all falcons are called Falco, and each falcon gets in addition a special name. Tbe peregrins is Fkko peragrinus the kestrel hi Falco tinnunculus. You very quickly get accustomed to these Latin terms when race you adopt tbem.

When you get your eggs thus arranged will be abb to trace tbe family naemt&cees which exist among them. A dull red prevails among tbe eggaof tbe Falonnida whltei. with a peculiar rounded shape, among ti. se of the owls green among those of toe crows peculiar streaks and markings among those :f the bantings, and so on. And thus you will see what order and arrangement run through this portion of nature's handiwork.

A NEGRO OF GREAT AGE*

James James, a Catted States Cltlsen, Living at Santa Koaa, Mexloo. James James, a negro and citizen of the United States, who resides at Santa Rosa, Mexico, is probably the oldest man on earth. He was born near Dorchester, S. C., in 1733, and while an infant was removed to Medway River, Qa., hi the same year that Franklin brought down electricity from the thunder clouda In 1772 there was quite an immigration into Sooth Carolina, and his master, James James (from whom he takes his name), moved near Charleston, 8. C., in company with a number of his neighbors. On June 4, 1776, when 24 years of age, a large British fleet, under Sir Pfeter Parker, arrived off Charleston. The citisens had elected a palmetto wood fort on Sullivan^ Island, with twenty-six guns, manned by 500 troops under Col. Moultrie, and on June 28 the British made an attack by land and water, and were compelled to withdraw after a ten hours'conflict. It was during this fight that Sergt. Jasper distinguished himself by replacing tbe flag, which had been shot away upon the bastion, on a new staff. His master, James James, manned one of the guns in this fight, and Jim, the subject of this sketch, and fonr other slaves were employed around tbe foit as general laborers. Jim followed his m:is ter throughout the war, and was with Gen. Moultrie at Port Royal, 8. C., Feb. 8, 1779, when Moultrie defeated the combined British forces of Prevoet and Campbell. His master was surrendered by Gen. Lincoln at Charleston, S. C., on Feb. 12,1780, to the British forces, and this ends Jim's military career.

He remembers of the rejoicing in 1792 throughout the country in consequence of Washington's election to the presidency, he then being 40 years of age. In this year his first master died, aged about 60 years. Jim then became the property of "Marse Henry" (Henry James), owning large estates and about thirty slaves near Charleston. On account of having raised "Marse Henry," Jim was a special favorite with his master and was allowed to do as he chose. His second master, Henry, died in 1815, about 55 years of age, and Jim, now 63 years of age, became the property of James James, Henry's second son. In 1833 the railroad from Charleston to Savannah was completed, then the longest railroad in the world, aud Jim, with his master, took a trip over the road, and was shown special favors on account of bis age, now 81. James James was 10 years of age at his father's death, and when he became of age inherited large estates, slaves, etc., among whom were "old Undo Jim" and his family. James James lived in South Carolina until 1855, when ho move 1 to Texas with all his slaves. James desired that his slaves should be free at his death, and in 1858 moved into Mexico, so that they could be freo beforo his death. James retained to tho United States and died in Texas, and in 1863, after there were no longer slaves in the United States, Uncle Jim's children and grandchildren returned to the Uuited States. Five years ago, at the ago of 130, Jim could do light chores, but subsisted mostly by contributions from the citizens but for tbe past two years, not being able to wallc. ho remains for tho most part in his little jacal, his wants being sup plied by generous neighbors. The rheumatism in his legs prevents him from walking, but yet he has sufficient strength ill his arms to drag himself a short distance—fifty yards or more—and readily took a position oi} the outside of his cabin to euablo The Globe-Demo-crat correspondent to make his photograph.— Laredo (Tex.)

An Aetress' '-First Night" Delights. The delight of the first night of an actress' career is enough to outweigh all tho drudgery ind tedium of rehearsal. The excitement of dressing for her part places tho novice in an agreeable frame of mind. Then there is the delicious uncertainty of success or failure, which can only be compared to the chances of a horso race. There is tho same sort of ''hurrah" noise and fascinating chicanery about the stage that there is about tho race track. "What if I should miss my cue, or stumble in going on the stage, or forget my lines, or faint from stage fright}" thinks the young novice, all in a tremor and flutter, as sho stands inside tho door, through which •iho i3 to enter upon the new, magic world of tho play.

The fatal word is spoken the trembling girl gathers her courage in her hands, and darts on the stage, to find a sea of faces swimming before her, with a singular effect of vapor upon it, through which tho footlights seem to rise and faU. The electric sensation of being before an audience puts her on her mettle, and, presently recovering herself, sho faces the other characters like a woman of spirit, and takes her place in tho group as if sho had been born to tho boards. There is a great deal of nonsense written about stage fright. It is one of those bugbears by which professionals keep amateurs out of their sunshine. The chief regret of young actresses is that their parts are so scant, and that the heavenly intoxication of impersonation lasts so shortatimeL-r-Charbtte Adams in CourierJournaL
