SCIENCE MD PROGRESS.

THINGS SAID AND DONE IN THE WORLD OF TODAY.

The Phenomenon of Nature's Intermittent! Spring* Explained—Chemistry Applied to "Sleigh of Hand"—An Avulni Kx» periment Borrowed from Chemistry.

In nature springB are met with whose flow is spontaneously interrupted, and which begins again after a longer or shorter interval. This phenomenon depends upon the action of the syphon, and is readily understood by reference to the accompanying cut, which shows a subterranean reservoir fed by series of fissures in the earth. The channel by which the water flown out is on the left of the figure, and on coming to the surface it forms a spring.

AN INTERMITTENT SPRING.

The reservoir is represented as just being filled, and when the water rises to the height of the bend the syphon begins to act. If the fissures by which water is supplied furnish a smaller quantity than that by which it flows out, the reservoir, together with the channel, is gradually emptied and the flow then ceases. The reservoir gradually fills again, but the water cannot flow Out until it has risen to the height represented by the dotted line, and the syphon has begun to work again.

An Electric Locomotive.

Will trains eyentually run by electricity? The electrician is met by this question almost daily, and his only reply is that they will if the problem of their commercial success be finally solved. Science says: "Of course, running machinery of any kind from primary batteries is commercially out of the question. Every one with even the most rudimentary knowledge of the science realizes that it takes a certain consumption of zinc or other metal to lilierate a certain amount of energy, and that this method is altogether too expensive to be practicable. However, there is now being constructed at the locomotive works, Rome, N. Y., an electric locomotive which is to be run on regular railroad tracks from storage batteries. The ordinary rotary type of electric motor will not be employed. Suction magnets are to be located on either side of the piston, and the current supplied from storage batteries in the HID box. The locomotive is smaller than the usual type and has driving wheels of less diameter.

The question will be asked, "How is it possible to ut ilize the energy of storage batteries at such a great loss from the original energy of coal, and still bo as economical as the steam locomotive?" That is the fact that remains to bo proved. It should be remembered, however, that it may bo possible to generate electricity by means of large economical com]Hund condensing engines with a filial loss at the motor not much greater than that which is found in that great wasteful gorumudiror of coal, the steam locomotive.

Nothing »w Under tho Sun. The recent discovery that a "nickol and slot" machine was in use in the ancient Egyptian temples confirms the saying that "there is nothing new under tho sun." It apiwars that in those days tho holy water wan not free to all, but was kept in closed vessel. When the sum of five drachm® was dropped into the top, a valve opened and allowed a small quantity of the sacred liquid to flow out, after which it automatically closed to await tho arrival of tho next customer. This device was first referred to in tho "Spiritalia" of Hioro, published in the Seventeenth century.

An Amusing Experiment in Chemistry. While physics has provided the species of entertainment called "sleight of hand" with many interesting effects, chemistry has offered comparatively few contributions. Robert Houdin formerly made use of electricity to move tho hands of his magic clock, and the electric magnato in making an iron box so heavy instantaneously that no one could lift it Robin has made use of optics to produce tho curious spectacle of the decapitated man, specters, etc. Those persons who are foud of this kind of amusement may, however, borrow from ohemistry some original experiments, which can bo easily undertaken.

The cut illustrates a jttggling feat which has beeu executed before a numerous audienoe by a clever conjuror. The operator took a glass that was perfectly transparent and placed it on a table, announcing that he should cover the glass with a saucer and then, retiring to some distance, would fill it with tho smoke from a cigarette. And this he carried out exactly, standing smoking his

It only necessary to pour previously into the glass two or three drops of hydrochloric acid and to moisten the bottom of the saucer wi'* a flaw drops of ammonia.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

Remarkable Increase in Ballroad Mileage in the United States. Of the total railroad mileage of the world the United Statep now possess nearly one half. At the end of*888 the aggregate length of all lines in the country was 156,082 miles, all built in sixty years, the average mileage per year being nearly 2,000 miles. But this record of sixty years, wonderful as it is, fades into insignificance when compared with -the achievements of the past twenty-three years. The total mileage of our railroads at the close of 1S65 was 35,085 miles. In the twenty-three years since then there have been constructed 12h000 miles of new

T«aa,

an average of 5,2fi0

miles per annum. During these twenty-three years the country has experienced three great waves of railroad construction, which were cbe only by extraordinary financial revuLiuus. The first of these great construction waves occurred within the eight years previous to tl»* auic Of 1873, in which time the mileage iuurtaijd more than 100 per cent. The depression which followed extended through the years 1874-1878.

During 1870 matters began to improve throughout the country, and this feeling was refl»'t*i through the railroads. In that year conjunction increased nearly 100 per cent, over the preceding year. In the third wave of construction, during the years 1886-88, the new construction aggregated 28,140 miles, or wi&hin fifty-eight miles of the extraordinary record of tae three years, 1881-83.

A Great Fertilizer.

Where the Ganges rises, bursting forth from a Himalayan glacier, it is twenty-seven feet wide. It falls 8,500 feet in the first ten miles of its course, and it has an average depth of thirty feet 500 miles from its mouth. Its delta is as wide as the distance from New York to Washington, and hundreds of mouths run from this width back into a sort of parallelogram for 200 miles more, where they unite. The water of the Bay of Bengal is discolored for miles by the mud brought down by the Ganges, and the whole country is fertilized by it. The water is the color and thickness of pea soup, and the silt or mud is so rich that these vast plains use no other fertilizer. In this Ganges valley nature is always giving, but never getting. Every atom of natural fertilizer, save this Ganges silt, is taken from the soil. Still the land is as rich as guano, and it produces from two to four crops every year.

About Calcutta the alluvial deposit is 400 feet deep, and an experiment was lately made to get to the end of it. A well was sunk, but at the distance of 410 feet the auger broke. At this point the end of the rich soil had not been reached. The amount of fertilizing material brought down by the Ganges hab lately been estimated, and scientific investigation shows that some distance above the point where it unites with the Brahmaputra its yearly burden is the enormous amount of 355,000,000 tons. A 1,000 ton ship is by no means small, and a fleet of 850,000 such ships could not carry this burden. The average freight car is thirty-four feet long, and it takes a stronger car to carry fifty tons. Suppose our freight cars each to be sixteen feet longer than they ore. Load upon each car fifty tons of this fertilizing mud, and it would take a train of more that 7,000,000 such care to carry the yearly fertilizing output of this great river.

Munchausen.

Allibone's "Dictionary of Authoro" accords the authorship of "Munchausen's Travels" to Rudolph Erich Raspe, a German, but intimation is made that the question of the authorship is unsettled. Perhaps the following note may bo found interesting:

There have been many conjectures concerning the origin and the authorship of the stories in "Baron Munchausen's Travels." Menael In his "Lexikon" says that Rudolph Erich Raspe "translated into English the well known Munchausen lies." Southey, from coincidences between two of tho tales anil two in a Portuguese periodical published about. 1780, thought that the English fictions must have come from the Portuguese, or that both must be traced to some common source older than either. The "Encyclopedia Americana" says they were the work of Burger, the poet, who published them in 1787 as if translated from the English, when they were in fact the Boron Fried rich von Munchhausen's own stories, and that Burger became involved in some difficulty in consequence. William West, in his "Fifty Years' Recollections of an Old Bookseller," says that "Bruco's Travels" gave rise to "Gulliver Revived, or tho Travels of Baron Munchausen," written by St. John, of Oxford, In a vein of irony upon poor Bruce. Doring, in his life of Burger, speaks in the text of his biography as if Burger were the author of the Munchausen tales, but doubts it In a note, without, however, suggesting who the author may have been.

Sir Charles Lyell, in his "Principles of Geology," while praising Raspe for his treatise "De Instills Nuper Invontis," records him In a note as the author of "Baron Munchausen's Travels." Somebody in The Gentleman's Magazine says they were the joint work of Raspe and Burger. Again. Mrs. Brewster, in her "Letters from Cannes and Nice," exclaims: "Baron Munchausen is here," which she explains by adding that there was a person of that name at Nice, who mid that "one of his ancestors had a chaplain who was famous for drawing along bow, and that bis patron, the baron of those days, wrote a book outherodiag Herod, being a collection of marvelous adventures, for tho purpose of shaming the priest, for which laudable design he was punished by having his own name held up to posterity as the story teller par excellence." And, finally, in the last edition of Lownde's "Bibliographer's Manual," after sundry pros and com, we are told that the authorship has never been settled.

Bright Spots.

Tho most sunny place in England, being the first to complete the registration of 1,000 hours of sunshine since Jan. 1, is Pembroke, which has been followed closely by Jersey, Valentia, Falmouth, Isle of Man, Hastings, Eastbourne, Plymouth, Blackpool and Dublin, in the order given. The other stations of the meteorologioal office, numbering altogether nearly forty, fell further and further behind, the rear bdug brought up with Glasgow, London and Glencarron, in the order given.

A Bis Dinner. &

ThegreatMt banquet ever known to profane history was that to which tin mayor* of France sat down in Paris on Aug. IS, in the palais d,e i'industrie, as one of the feature* of the celebration of the events of 1780l Think of a formal banquet at which 13,000 people were regularly seated, and which required the provision of 80,000 plate*, 63,000 U.lswnii, 37,000 bottles of wine and nearly 1,400 waiters and scullions! It was a feast that paled old Rome and the Csasan.

Touching Story of Moving Day.

In ancient times hawks were the constant companions of people of rank and anesaenSfaJ part of a great man's retinue. A man, however high, thought it no sewn to feed and cure for these birds, which were considered fit presents from one king to another. It was held dishonorable to part with this distinguishing mark of rank. Captives endured imprisonment rather than purchase release by relinquishing their hawks, and the laws of Charlemagne expressly forbade that hawks should form part of a ransom.

A RUSSIAN KAXCOXER.

So inseparable were the birds from their masters that men chose to be represented with hawk on fist, and the ancient English illuminators have uniformly distinguished the portrait of King Stephen by giving him a hawk upon his hand. In the Thirteenth century ladies adopted the sport of hawking, and soon became so proficient as to be considered equal with, if not superior to their lords. The early English kings followed the chase with hawks, and Richard II kept his hawks at the famous Mews, at Charing Cross.

In 1663 the Russian ambassador brought Charles II, in addition to other gifts, some hawks. Covering his hand with a glove wrought with gold, he took a hawk upon his fist to show it to the king. The Russian falconers of that time were attired like the one represented in our cut. The equipment consisted of bow and arrows, a small bunting horn and a knife. On the right hand was worn a richly embroidered gauntlet. This ancient sport has been in some measure revived of late in foreign countries.

Some of the Foreign Capitals.

Great London is the capital of all our English cities, Renowned for many a stirring tale in ancient lays and ditties. Fair Edinburgh. Scotland's pride, thy treasured names we greet Of Holyrood and Caiton Hill and lofty Arthur's

Seat.

And Dublin on the Liffey's shore—the greatest Irish town, Where many a jaunting outside car is driving up and down. And Paris is the city prized by all the land of

France,

Where people love to sit outdoors, and laugh and siug and dance. And Berlin is the capital of all the federation. Which makes the German empire strong, a brave and mighty nation. In Austria Vienna stands, above the rushing wave, Her mansions and her palaces the Danube's waters lave. And grand Madrid's a stately town, the Spaniards love it well. The proud Castilians walk its streets with many a dark eyed belle.

Pitching at a Line.

This capital game may be played by two. three or four boys. A line about two feet )/ng having beeri drawn upon the ground, the players stand at a given distance and pink for turns he whose button falls nearest to the line 16 entitled to the first throw, and the others, when there are more than two players, follow him in rotation according to the position of thoir respective buttons. For the sake of simplicity we will suppose that there aro only two players, and that they each play with .two buttons.

The first player stands at the oiling and pitches one button, and then the other, endeavoring to make them both fall on the nea* side of the line, and as close to it as possible the second player then pitches bis two buttons in precisely the same manner. The player who succeeds in pitching a button nearest to the line and on the right side of it, claims all the buttons that have been pitched over the line as his property the others he teases into the air, and those that fall to the ground with the shank side uppermost he keeps his opponent now tosses up the blanks, or those that lie with their shanks downwards, if there are any left, and he now claims those that fall shanks In this way the buttons are tossed up by the player? alternately, each keeping the shanks, until fcey are all won, who the game begins afresh. When there are more than two players, each pitches knit one button, and takes his turn at tossing up, aooording to the value of hfc throw. The order of tossing up regulates the turns in which the players pitch at the Ifiaa, when a new game commenced, *1

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Facts About Low of Weight In Typhoid Fever—Wees of Nltro-OJyoerine. Dr. L. H. Cohen has published an account of some interesting observations on the weight of the body in typhoid fever, the subjects observed being patients in Cochin hospital, where by an ingenious contrivance a series of patients were carefully weighed every day and the weigbt recorded on their charts, from the beginning to the end of the fever. Dr. Cohen^s observations show that the loss of weight varies considerably for each individual. In reviewing the researches on the causes of the loss of weight he establishes the fast that the febricitant lives at the expense of his own substance. The conclusions arrived at are as follows:

Typhokl fever presents two distinct periods, one of loss and one of gain certain accidental causes may modify them, but cannot affect their general character. 2. The daily loss is due to febrile combustion chiefly, and but little to abstinence. 3. The daily loss varies with individuals. 4. The losses in nitrogen and in weight are almost parallel with the march of the temperature, without always following it exactly. 5. The study of the weight chart may aid in prognosis, a continual rise in the weight being a sign of convalescence. 6. The complications of the disease augment the loss of weight. 7. The study of the loss of weight enables the physician to determine with precision the action of nutritive substances In fevers 1 8. The loss of weight in a typhoid patient takes place each day in a uniform manner.

Doctors g»y»»

Since children never expectorate, the phlegm when raised by coughing in bronchitis or pneumonia, says Dr. A. A. Whitfield, passes into the stomachy where it acts as a retarder of digestion if not ejected or passed into the bowels. The presence of masses of phlegm in the bowels often causes constipation. and sometimes calls for the exhibition a mild cathartic.

According to Prof, da Costa, of Philadelphia, cold applications should never be used in the local treatment, of gout. They may cause retrocession and dangerous symptoms affecting vital organs.

Dr. Squibb calls attention to the uselessness of sulphur or chlorine gas as a disinfectant unless there is considerable aqueous vapor in the atmosphere of a room. Another authority recommends that water be kept boiling in the room to be disinfected by ^ther of these agents.

Saccharin an Antiseptie. Saccharin is reported by a French writer to be a valuable antiseptic. A strength of 1 to 500, as an addition to mucilaginous and other solutions, prevents the formation of low organisms. Thus a valuable, inexpensive dentifrice may be prepared by simply dissolving saccharin in water, to the proportion of 6 per cent. A teaspoonful of this in a half pint of water forms an admirable antiseptic mouth wash. In cases of malignant Or other disease of the stomaoh, requiring the washing out of that organ, a solution of saccharin of the strength of 2 per cent, wiil be found very suitable. ^$

Boil a handful of lobelia in a half pint of water, strain and add a teaspoonful of fine salt Wring cloths out of the liquid, very hot, and apply till the pain ceases, changing as fast as cold, then cover with a dry cloth for awhile to prevent taking cold. Two large tablespoonfuls of cologne and two teaspoonfills of fine salt mixed in a bottle makes an excellent inhalent for facial neuralgia. Horse--radish, prepared the same as for the table, applied to the temple or wrist, is recommended.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

SI* Suggestions for Hostesses in Seareh of the "Soul of Hospitality."

"Don'ts" appear to be the popular form in which many of the rules at etiquette are expressed, and Good Housekeeping furnishes six very important "don't*" for the benefit of hostesses, whioh are, in brief, as follows:

First, and most important, is, "Don't invite company .unless you want thsm to come." 2. Don't give giciiiral lnyitattoSS but if you do, don't recall them.

There is a most admirable custom in some parte of the country of specifying the date and length of time for which an invitation is given. This obviates all doubt as to whether It "will suit," and aD fear of overstaying the time and thus wearing oat the welcome. Moreover, such invitations, sent early enough to be of use, are much more apt to be accepted than those at the "giad-to-see-you-at-any-time" kind. & Don^ make hard work of entertaining.

There is a certain amount of labor involved in every visit received, bat it may, by good management and aright ooooeption of what hospitality is, be reduced to the minimum. If we could once get hold of the idea that what our ttsitors want is not oar fine surroundings nor our loaded tables, but ourselves, it would do much to lessen the work of entertaining. Where the hostess spends her time ooneoeting elaborate dishes that the cook could not manage alone, the guest most have a feeling that her coming has brought labor and weariness, and both will be inevitably though perhaps secretly g!ad,wjbea the visit is at an end. 4. Dont try to manage your guests. 8ome persons are born managers. With the best intentions in the world they no noner hear a {dan than thsy seek to improve en it, perhaps to the upsetting of several contingent plana Bach hostesses are not as agrssabls as a leas active IdndL You promise during a visit to speod a few days with another friend in the same piaoe Your hostess saya, "I can't let yon go now you can go later." You appreciate her pressing hospitality, but you are inconvenienced by it,

A wonderfully mall thing will convey an laipi iwslnn that a wonderfully large amount of argument will not remove. Quests are sometimes made very uncomfortable by little remarks thoughtlenly

in their hear-

dropped

in regard to household affairs. Your hostess speaks of ber immune* weekly washings, and you think at once of your towels and ilieeta that must be added to it. She remarks that "h fa'inara are scarce and dear, and yon remember with dismay taaat you helped to eat one at dinner. & Dont forget that the soul of hoapitality is tiie welcome.

The Best Snake Story of All. A man who kept a garden near the river Euphrates, had an adventure with a snake many years ago, has involved himself and family in trouble ever since. One result of this adventure was the sentence pronounced ogainst the woman that "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children." No doubt this sentence included the many ailments consequent on child-bearing, such as weak back, female weaknesses, tumors, irritations, irregularities, and the like. Best of all is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription—a woman savior—a soothing, sovereign remedy for all suoh troubles. Millions are using it and blessing its author.
