Hear txtml—Secret of Bop* Dsacliif.

It Is a well known fact that t&e wider the base on which a body rests the greater is its liability, for then, even with a considerable inclination. Its center of gravity fall* within It* base. Hie well known leaning towers of Pisa and Bologna are ao much oat of the vertical that these seem ready to fall at any moment, and yet they have retained for centuries their present positions, because the perpendiculars let fall from their centers of gravity are within the bam. In the cases alluded to the position of the center of gravity is fixed, lids is not the case with men and animals, whose center of gravity is continually varying, with their attitudes and with the loads they support.

XODOTYIXO ATI 1 ruing TO KJCEJ» CE3TZR OV GRAVITY. When a man stands upright, without any burden, his center of gravity is between the two thigh bop's. This, howover, is not the case with a man carrying a load, for, his own weight being added to that of the load, the common center of gravity is neither that of the man nor the burden. In this case, in order to retain his stability, the man must so modify his attitude as to keep his center of gravity directly above the bass formed by his two feet Thus a porter with a load on his bock is obliged to lean forward (Fig. 1). while a man carrying a load in one hand leans his body on the opposite side (Fig. 2).

In the art of rope dancing the difficulty consists in maintaining the center of gravity exactly above the rope. In order more easily to accomplish this, the performer holds in his hands a long pole, which, as soon as he feels himself leaning on one side, be inclines towards the opposite one, and thus contrives to keep the center of gravity common to himself and to tho polo in a vortical line above the rope, and so preserves bis equilibrium.

A broad wagon is more stable than a narrow ono and in loading a wagon, tho heaviest goods should be in the bottom of the wagon, so that the center of gravity of the whole may be as low as possible.

A boat Is more easily upset when a person stands up In it than when be is seated.

Bv far the greater number of theee report* have been received from merchant vessels, very many of which have undoubtedly been saved, with all on board, by the use of a few gallons of oil in the manner recommended by the United States hyvlrographic office.

THE CURI06ITY 8HOP.

Coooerolpg Cobwebs—PW»I« of A Coateet of Weaving. Every one has noticed the cobwebs which h«ng upon each shrub and bush, and are strewn in profusion over every plat of grass on a fine morning in autumn. and, seeing, who can have failed to admire! webs, circular in form, are then strung vWk with tiny pearls of dew that glitter in the sun. No lace is so fine. Could any be wrought that would equal them in their filmy delicacy «iwl lightness, it would be worth a prince's ransom. But for such work man's Coach is all too coarse. It is possible only to our bumble garden spider, known to scientific people by the more imposing name Epeira diadema. These spiders belong to the family of Arachnids, and the ancients, who were great lovers of beauty, observing their webs, invented the pretty fable of Arachne.

Arachne was a maiden who had attained to such expertnens in weaving and embroidering that even the nymphs, leaving their groves and fountains, would gather to admire her work. They whispered to each other that Minerva herself must have taught her but Arachne bad grown vain as she grew dexterous, and overhearing them, denied the implication with high disdain. She would not acknowledge becself inferior even to a god dfM, and finally challenged Minerva to a trial of skill, saying: "If beaten, 1 will bear the penalty.** Minerva accepted the challenge, and the webs were woven. Arachnets was of wondrous beauty, but when she saw that of Minerva she knew that she was defeated, and, in her despair, went and hanged herself. Minerva, moved by pity for her vain hat skillful opponent, transformed her into a spider and she and her desosndants still retain a portion of her marvelous gifts of spin ning and weaving.

Venus aod the Earth.

In the fundamental element of sim, Venus and the earth are almost alike, our earth being 7,000 miles in diameter and Venus 7,600 The force of gravity co the surface of the latter is very nearly nine-tenths of what It is with us. Its density is almost the same fraction of that of the earth. These facts show that if transported to the surface of Venus wo should feel more at home, so far as some essential features of experience are concerned, than on any other planet known to na. We should weigh just about nine-tenths of our weight, and should And distances much the same ratio to our muscular power of walking that they do in this world, while in all probability the surface rocks and earth, if such be formed there, would be compacted and constructed like those we daily see around us. This would not be the case on ilanets so much smaller than the earth as ercury or Mars, or so much larger as Jupiter, Saturn or Neptune.

Again, the year on Venus would be about 225 days in length, a good deal more like what we have on the earth than is the case on any other planet In the length of the day we should find a still more homelike experience, as the difference would be imperceptible except to careful observation. Venus rotates In 23 hours 21 minutes 28 seconds, and the earth In 28 hours minutes 4 seconds. The day, of course, depeuds a little on the motion of the sun In the sky, but the difference between this as seen on our earth and from Venus would not appreciably affect the similarity of the days in each. These likenoswes to the length of our day and year and to our world's density would causo a similarity, in all probability, In mountain form and vegetation. In fact, so far, V.onMjswneartv the twin sister of our world. i" l,l I I- 1

Making the Almanac.

Tbe ahnanac, in some form, has beoti not only a convenience but a necessity since time began. The moment that any occurrence became a thing of the part it became Indispetmhfr that it should be classified according to its relation to other events that bad been contemporary or had preceded it, to prevent confusion of memory, or, if the period had become one of written record, of history. For this classification the son for aished a convenient means by its disappearance and reappearance at regular hours. Tbe primitive man, as savage tribes do still, counted bv sons and moons to tbe extent that his feeble knowledge of figures permitted. A more advanced state of civilization brought a recognition of tbe fact that tbe solar year contained a certain number of day*, that is. W&X, divided into thirteen moons or months. On this basis tbe almanacs of modern Christian people are based. As the extra six hours cannot be counted every year, a day is added every four years, that tbe beginning of the yr-tr may m~r-rr as to commence all tbe M"...*"0*sft Uv* vv:v» epoch.

Tbe ancient Greeks, instead of this qoad--ronlal adding of a day, added a month from mp to time, which brought tack tiMirsae«s to tho normal condition. Ttds is rtlll toe t$n-r.i -f tbe Chinese aod ft* 8a» tadtemk a. -tmcs based on these qyMus are solar in their

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

lee Water a Healthful and Iniigorattiif Drink When Temperately Used. This is tbe season when warnings against the use of ico water abound. The beverage, however, finds an advocate in tbe Sanitary Volunteer, tbe official organ of tbe New Hampshire board of health, which expresses the following opinions:

There is a great deal of sentiment and many opinions regarding the use of ice water that vanish when tbe light of reason and experience is turned upon them. Tbe fact is that ice water, drank slowly and in moderate quantities, constitutes a healthful and invigorating drink. There is no doubt that ice is a great sanitary agent, and every family ought to he provided with it during the wanner months of the year. It is true that the inordinate uw of ice water, or its use under some special conditions and circumstances, is attended with great danger so is the improper use of any other drink or food.

The assumption that ioed water is dangerous, and that ioed tea, or ioed coffee, or ionl lemonade, is a harmless substitute, is simply a delusion. As the source of danger feared by some is the degree of oold, we fail to see -clearly bow flavor modifies the effect of temperature. There are some individuals, undoubtedly, who cannot drink ice water with out injury, and who ought never to use it. but to a great majority of persons it is refreshing and healthfuL Its use, temperate and discreet, is in no way to be condemned, which cannot be said of some of its substi tutsa

The New and Popular Drag, Antlpyrln. Among drugs that have appeared in medical practice and have also become popular remedies within a few years past is antipyrin. This first attracted the attention of physicians on account of its power of subduing fever. After a time it was discovered that it would relieve neuralgia and bead aches and had a general sedative effect upon the nervous system. Hie latter quality, as soon as well known, commended the drug to popular use, and tbe devotee of antipyrin is liable to get into tbe habit of taking it and recommending it to others for every ache or pain whatsoever. Such a practioe is, however, reprehensible, for antipyrin is a powerful drug, seriously affecting the action of the heart and the circulation. Dr. H. C. Wood says that numerous cases have been reported in which cyanosis, disturbed respiration and circulation and oollapse have been produced by antipyrin given in doses of from thirty to thirty-five grains. Antipyrin has also sometimes occasioned a rash.

Dr. Grace Peckham, after affirming that smaller doses than the one mentioned above have occasioned fluttering and irregultyity of the heart, gives the following advice:

First—Not to recommend the drug in a wholesale manner to your friends.

1

Second—Not to take it yourself unless your physician recommends it to you and has told you that your Iteart will not be unpleasantly affected.

Third—It Is a depressing remedy ht best, id some stimulant (brandy, two teaspoon'uls should always be taken with it

A 8urce of Dyspepsia.

Eating heartily when tbe system is tired and jadod Is assigned as one of t!ie commoncauses of dyspepsia. When exhausted by either mental or physical work, we are usually ravenously hungry and naturally turn to food as a restorative. Tbe stomach, however, shares in the depression caused by over-

f}rk,

and, hence, at such times, is unable to rform its ordinary duty. Tbe food taken en is but very slowly digested, and before tho process is completed fermentation often Jtakce-jpiacfr If it .does, the consequence Js Jfhad not been taken, for the fermentation generates acids and gas, which in turn not only Interfere with digestion, but excite other disturbances.

In a very strong and healthy person the 111 effects of eating when the system Is much fatigued would not be so marked as in one below the standard of health. Very nervou* Individuals invariably suffer from the habit, and if debilitated they are quite wire to grow more so If It Is persisted la When very "tired ami hungry" It is always best to rest for a time before eating, or take some soch simple "pick up" as hot milk, which should be slowly sipped. That Is very refreshing, Indeed, and usually meets tbe requirement* quite as well as an alcoboDo stimulant

Wben to CMve Medieines.

Tbe time of administering medicines has tn many cases a considerable influence on their action In tbe system therefore, the following rules for taking medicine, for which The Medical World Is authority, arc of intereat:

Iodine or the iodides should be given on an empty stomach. If given during digestion, tbe adds and starch alter and weaken their action. Acids, as a rule, should be given between meals. Acids given before meals check the excessive secretion of the acids of the gastric juice. Irritating and poisonous drags, such as salts of arsenic, copper, sine aad iron, should be given dtrsctty after meals. Oxide and nitrate of stiver should be given after tbe pibcuws of digestion is ended if

given

during cr dose after meals the chemicals destroy or impair their action. Potassium permanganate, also, sboakl not be given until the prooess of digestion is ended, Inasmuch as organic matter decomposes it and rrniders it inert. The active principle of the gastrio Juice is impaired and rendered Inert by corrosive sublimate, tannin and pure alcohol hence they Trixrald be given at the dose of digestion. MaJt extracts, ood liver oU, tbe phosphates, *c., should be given with or directly after food.
