SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS CONSIDERED IN A PRACTICAL MANNER.

The Mutmnm Density of Water—An latemllng Experiment Adopted for Leotare Illnrtnttlou—The UfbUnK of Train* by Rlcetiicll/ PrMtlMblc.

Water presents the phenomenon that when iU temperature sinks it contracts np to 4 degs. but from that point, although the cooltax continues, it expands up to the freezing point, so that 4 respreeenta the point of greatest contra.', ucm of water, or what is sailed its point of maximum density.

TUB MAXIMUM- DEXSITY OF WATER. Hope used the following method to determine tbe maximum density of water: He tixk a deep vessel perforated by two lateral apertures, in which ho fixed them: .neters ttee cut), and having filled the v» I with water at Odeg., he placwi it in a room at a temperature of Hi degs. A* the layers of liquid nt the side* of the vessel liecame heated they sank to the tiortom, and the lower thermometer marked 4 dogs., while that of the apixT one was still at »ro, Ho|w then made the inverse experiment having filled the vessel with water at 15 deft*., he placed it in a room at sero. Tho lower thermometer, baying sunk to 4 dept., remained stationary for »omo time, while the upper one cooled down until it reached zero. Both these experiments prove that water is heavier at 4 degs. than at Odeg., for iu both cases it sinks to the lower part of the vessel. This experiment may be adapted for lecture illustration by using a cylinder containing water of 15 degs. C. iwrtially surrounded by a jacket containing cracked ice, as'shown in the cut.

This phenomenon is of great importance in tii« economy of nature, In wintor the temperature of lakes and rivers falls from being In contact with the cold air, and from other cause*, such as rati in ion. The colder water sinks to the bottom and a continual succession of currents is formed, until the whole has a temperature of 4 dog*. The cooling on the surface still coutlnues, but the cooled layers, being lighter, remain on the surface and ultimately freeze. The ice formed thus protects tho water below, which remains at a temperature of 4 degs., even in the most sewere winter*, a temperature at which fish and other Inhabitants of the water are not destroyed.

Why Klxty Second* Make Minute. W'liy Is our hour divided into sixty minutes, each minute into sixty seconds, otc. Simply and solely, replies Max Muller iu Fortnightly Review, because in Babylon there existed by tho side of the decimal system of notation another system, the sexagesimal, which counted by sixties. Why that number should have been chosen is clear enough, and It speaks well for tho practical souse of those ancient Babylonian morclmuts. There is uo number which has so many divisors ns (X). The Babylonians divided the sun's dally Journey into ii parading*, or TJM stadia. Koch parnsnug or ht ur was subdivided into (10 minutes. A |tarasnng is about a German mile, and Babylonian astronomers compared tho progress made by the sun during one hour at the time of the equinox to the progress made by a good walker during the same time, both accomplishing one pnraiaug. Tho whole course, of tho sun during the 'J4 equinoctial hours was fixed at &i para*angs, or WQ stadia, or .'WO degrees,

Tlds system was handed on to the (Meks. atul lllpparchus, the great Greek philosopher, who lived about l.W B. C., introduced tho B11 iv Ionian hour Into Europe. Ptolemy, who «mte about 140 A. D., and whose name still lives in that of the Ptolemaic system of astronomy, gave still wider currency to the Babylonian way of reckoning time. It was carried along on the quiet strain of traditional knowledge through ttie Middle Ages, and, sirunge to say, It sailed dowu safely over the Niagara of the French revolution. For the Frouch, when revolutlonl*ing weights, measures, coins and dates, and subjecting all to the decimal system of reckoning, were induced by some unexplained motive to respect our clocks ami watches, and allowed oar dials to remain sexagesimal, that lis, Babylonian! each hour consisting of sixty minutes.

Lighting Trains by Electricity. The experiments now being conducted on tho trains of the Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, according to Popular Science News, l^ive substantial evidence that electric lighting of trains is not only possible but practicable. Four main conductors extend the whole length of the train, and the circuit is so arranged that the dynamo* the storage batteries ami the lamps may be handled collectively or tepnrately, as oceasim tvquirea. Tlie engine is coupled dliveUy to the dynamo, and drives the armature at a speed of tWO revolutions a minute. When the locomotive is detached front tho train, the storage batteries are brought into service and the lights are mtaifceted. Any car or cars may be separated frwm the tr.Un without iaterfert'tg with the light oi either the train or the ile-tache-l cars as t.ie storage bstterM amply supply all the la.n «. By mean* of switches In ho esul of ir, the lamp« iu the midtile, at either e:»l. or on either side of the car may be cut out of circuit without affecting the remain Vr The couplings between csin are with cable* placed over the do»r* suul under the injecting roof*.

How Far Sonnd Zlmj Be Ueard—Tl»e JS»* dlam mould Be Dense. Ill refereaoe to the quortioa as to tike distance at which sounds may be beard, both of the voioe and of cannon, it may be observed that the conditions under which the sound at cannon or even the sound of a human voice can be beard are various. Atmospheric currents unquestionably hare something to do with it. bat there are local circumstances which favor or disfavor the bearing of soonds at great distances. However, the distanoo at which ar can distinguish sound depends both lu tbe intensity of tbe sonnd, the medium through which it is transmitted and other causes. In tbe polar regions Sir John Franklin said he "conversed with ease at a distance of more than a mile." Sound has greater force iu water. Colladen, by experi tnents mode in the Lake Geneva, estimated tiint a bell submerged in the sea might be heei.i *ta distil.-« of more than sixty miles.

Pr-rHlin also *ay* he heard the striking -tber of twn in the water half a mile away. The report of a cannon travels very far, because it communicates a vibration to the soil. The cannonade of Florence was beard beyond Leghorn, about fifty-six miles off, and that of Genoa 100 miles off. In 1768 tbe cannon of Mayenoe was heard at Tlmbeck, a village 14S mile* off. When the English landed in E?pyt tbe firing was distinctly heard 130 miles off. Iu ISOOtbe bobming of tba cannon in Heligoland reached Hanover, a distant 157 miles. The greatest distance at wLich artificially produced sounds are known to have been beard was on Dec. 4, 18552, when the cannons of Antwerp were heard in the Erzgebirge mountains, 370 miles distant. The noise produced by an intense eruption of Mount Cotopaxi, in South America, in 1744, was beard at a distance of eoo miles.

Origin

of

Language.

The subject of the origin of language, more than any other perhaps, lias been fertile of speculation and attended with .less satisfactory results than most other topics. The Jews positively insist that the Hebrew tongue is tho primitive language aud was the oue spoken by Adam and Eve. The Arabs, however, dispute the point of antiquity with tbe Hebrews. Of all the languages, except the Hebrew, the Syriac has had the greatest number of advocates, especially among eastern authors. Mauy maintain that the language spoken by Adam is lost and that the Hebrew, Cbaldee and Arabio are only dialects of the original tongue. Goropius published a work in 15S0 to prove that Dutch was the language of Paradise. Andro Kemp maintained that God spoke to Adam in Swedish, Adam answered in Danish and Eve spoke in French (very liko satire!, whilo the Persians believe three languages to have Iwen spoken in Paradise: Arabic, the most persuasive, by the serpent Persian, the most poetic, by Adam and Eve, and Turkish, the mo^t threatening, by tbe angel Gabriel. Erno claims Basque as the language spoken by Adam, and others would make the Polynesian the primitive language of mankind.

Dnrwin says what must be admitted throw* no more light on this subject than is in the fancies already named: "With respect to the origin of articulate language, after having read on the oue side the highly interesting works of Wedgwood, Farrar and Profowor Schleicher, and tho celebrated lecture* of Professor Max Muller on the othor side. I cannot doubt thnt language owes it*origin to the Imitation and modification, aided by wigns and gestures, of various natural sound*, the voices of other animals ami inau's own iuHtiuctivecries."

The fjnrvent Moon.

The "harvest moon'" is the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox. Sept. '•£. It usu ally occurs in September, though in IS&3 it fell on Oct. .V The peculiarity of thi* moon Ik that durlug the time thnt she is full, and a few day* liefon* aud after, iu all about a week, there is lew. difference betweeu the time of her rising on any two successive nights than when she is full in auy other month in the year. By this menus an immediate supply of light is obtained after sunset during the continuance of these harvest moons which is beneficial to the hushauduiati. In order to gain an insight into this phenomenon, it must l»e borne in mind that the moon is always opposite to tho sun when she is full that *ite is full iu the signs Pisco* and Aries, thes* leltig the signs opposite to Virgo nnd Libra, which the sun (tossee through iu tSepteiulier and October. Thus, although whenever the moon enters these two signs and she doe* ho twelve time* iu a year), the same circumstance takee place with regard to the time of her rising, yet it is not observed on these othor occasions. Just liecause she Is not full at the time. The ivasoti of there being little difference in the time at which she rises on several consecutive nights i* that at tbeee periods her orbit Is nearly parallel with the horison.

Antiquity of Electricity.

Tholes, a Greek philosopher, who lived 000 years before Christ, is said to have known the electrical properties of rubbed amber Otto von Guericke, In l«W7, constructed the first electrical machine. Fmuklln, hi 1743, killed a turkey by electricity, and roasted it on an electric Jack before a (Ire kindled by the electric spark. Pe 1 this was the ear lieet actual use of ekci: tcity. As long agn a* 1747 electric shocks were sent over short distances. Kelson, In I AM, by using thirtysis wires, one for each letter or character, sent mewagee ova- small distances. Morse simplified the telegraph, osing only oue wire, instead of from thirty to thirtr 1x wire*. Ills first public message was "ffbi hath God wrought This was on May 9t, l&*4.

Jkn Entertaining Aeeount of Pearls and Pearl Oysters—Pearl Fisheries and tba Brave Divers VTho Bisk Their Lives for the Precious GOTO*.

Pearls are formed inside of the oyster shell by a secretion of tbe oyster, and, unlike other precious gems, are of rapid growth, only a few years being required for their formation. Pearl oysters are not oonfined to any one part yf the world, but the places are few in which pearl fishing is a settled industry. Diving for pearls is a dangerous occupation, and few pearl divers live to be old. These divers practice their trade from early childhood, and, when expert, can remain under water several minutes.

TDK PKABX. OTSTKR.

The most noted pearl fisheries are near the coasts of Ceylon, Japan, Java, Sumatra and the Persian gulf. Tbe pearls found near some American coasts are usually of very fine polish but of irregular shape.

A pearl diver carries a net bag for holding xers, places his foot in a stirrup, to which is fastened a stone weighing nearly thirty pounds, then, taking a long breath, he derends rapidly to the bottom. He tears the oysters from the rocks, and when he feels his breath failing, pulls a rope as a signal and is very rapidly drawn up. Seven or eight divers descend at the same time. When the oysters are dead the shells are examined for pearls. One shell may contain several pearls or none, and there is no way of telliug which hold prize except by destroying the oyster.

In addition to the pearls it yields, the pearl oyster, explains Golden Days, which furnished the foregoing description, is valuable for its lining. This lining is called "mother of pearl," aud from it are made knife hand\es, buttons, card cases and many other articles.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Katal Iro£ That for the Moment Makes Life a Draun of Happlneaa. An English authority gives tbe following graphic description of the action of morphia and tbe experience of those who are known as "morphia fiends:*"

Imagine an ins Tument about the sixe of a peacQ case, constructed somewhat after the model of a wasp's sting, and fitting into a tiny case that will go with ease into tho waistcoat pocket or the bosom of tbe dress. This is the injector, and a slight puncture of the skin with the waspish point is sufficient to enable the required quantity of the magic fluid to be discharged into the system. There are three distinct stages of morphia absorption, all of them brief in duration, tbe last oue briefest of all.

During tbe first stage the results are purely pleasurable, they bring a draught of fresh life into jaded limbs. The faculties rei«ci*fl a sudden stimuiu-s the callous sense of pleasure is sensitive once more, the vision of the world cast on the mental eye is drawn in rosy lines, the whole appreciation of things earthly is that of one who is prepared to drain tb? cap of life to the bottom and enjoy it to tUe full The subject lives in a glamourous sense of vague happiness, her half closed eyes reveal the state of exquisite lassi tude which laps her limbs, she feels that her one enemy is exertiou, she, is too happy to trouble about auything.

In time, however, a change comes oer the spirit of this mie colored dream. Its continuity becomes broken by dreadful tervals of reactiou, during which the victim is oppressed by all tbe horrors of Intense melancholy aud weakness, aud from which relief can only be obtained by continual repetition of the process of injection. It i« so easy to drive away the blue devils thnt are making themselves apparent, to check the reaction which has begun to set in, to change the dark shadows which are clouding over the vision of life into the rainbow hue# of the morning, to transform tbe victim of melancholy, the prospective suicido, into the laughing child of pleasure. So easy, but Duly by coustaut use of the fatal drug: and is the former slight injections have lost their power, larger doses of the stimulant must, be aunched into the system.

The result, however, oi' the increase of the quantity injected is to develop the feeling of lassitude until in time—such a brief jeriod! it completely overpowers the senses, aud the victim becomes practically lost to the world. She lives in a rose colored world of her own, in which happiness reigns supreme and which she would not leave if she could for her reentry into the life she has forsaken can only accomplished by passing through a period of intense mental aud bodily torture. She knows that she is slowly dying, that she is slipping to extinction in a soulless, mechanical way, like a clock which inevitably runs down when its motive power is exhausted but her appreciation of abstract ideas has become binn ed: life has lost its meaning, death its terrors, fetter it is, she thinks, so far she compares her condition at all, to fude slowly nud happily out of life without a thought or care to checker tbe last brief period of existence than to face the struggle which alone she could be saved. has been reserved for modern science to "j? into existence and use tlu dreams of ]ucient p&et8—the drug which conferred unoteckered and unalloyed.

W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippu^ ^Ind., testifies: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold Has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of two years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:

The importance of purifying the blood cannot be overestimated, for without pure blood you cannot enjoy good health.

At this season nearly every one needs a good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich the blood, and Hood's Sarsaparilla is worthy your confidence. It Is peculiar In that it strengthens and builds up the system, creates an appetite, and tones the digestion, while it eradicates disease. Glvo it a trial.

Hood's Sarsaparilla Is sold by all druggists. Prepared by C. I. Hood St Co., Lowell, Mass.

We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a groperly nourished frame."—(Civil Service
