An IHa»ln»ted Description of Simple ApparHtu» by Which Klectric.'ty

ELKCTKICAT, EXPERIMENTS.

If this is done iu the dark, each time that the brush is withdrawn from the chimney a bright electric sfiark will be seen to spring from one piece of tin foil to the other. Many other experiments of this kind can be tried with this simple apparatus. For example, it may be shown that poor conductors can be electrified by rubbing further, that good conductorn can carry tba electricity from an electrified body to one which has not been charged with electricity, and finally the power of I todies charged with the same kind of electricity to repol each other can be illustrated in the following manner:

Bind a woolen thread (or, better still, an iron or brass wire) over the tin foil ring, and on fhe end of this hang little strips of thin paper. If the interior of the chimney is now rubbed, the silk covered brush being intro duced at the opposite side to that in which it was formerly plac?d, the ring of tin foil is charged with electricity, which is conducted by the thread (or wire) to the strips of paper which fly apart. As in all such experiments, the loss of electricity through dampness must be avoided. This can be done by thoroughly drying the brush, the dilk and the chimney at the Are leforo trying the experiment.

The tlnest and beet sponges iu the world are now obtained along the Florida Keys. Native Kloridiansdo the principal gathering There are some Bahama Islanders also. The sponge fishers are called conks. They do not dive, but tear up tho sponges with three fcined forks on long poleo. A Greek came down from New York a year or so ago, and tried gathering them by (living, using a regular diver's suit, but he made a failure of it. The sponges grow rapidly a bed which has been fished clean will lite covered with a new growth in six months. The product amounts to nearly half a million dollars annually.

Way by Which

Spiral Dottle May Be Made. 'f'

The apparatus shown in the accompanying cut, and described in The Elektronisehen Echo, can hardly foil to be of interest. By means of this apparatus an electric spark can be obtained in the simplest way imaginable by aoy one, with very little expense of time or trouble. At tarip of tin foil is fastened around the center of a common lamp chimney, and then a straight strip of the same material is pasted on the chimney from one end of the same to within a centimeter of the ring. Then piece of silk is wrapped around a l.ni'is, the chimney, nnd the interior of 'I.J chimney is rubbed briskly, but the fingers must not iotich the tin foil.

Put-tlcles.

An ingenious method, devised by Mr. John Aitkcn for counting the dust particles in the atmosphere, is described 'is follows by Popu lar Science News:

It WiU round that, when the moisture is cm deused in ft rarefied atmosphere, each raindrop has a dust particle for its nucleus, so that by sweeping a measured portion of the air into an exhausted receiver, by means of pure nir, and counting the number of deposited droits, it is easy to calculate the iium ber of dust particles in a given volume of the impure nir. The counting is managed by haviugthe silver plate in the receiver divided into millimeter squares, so that it is only nocrrmry to count the drops on one square millimeter. Mr. Aitken showed that the air of a hall contained 400,000,000 particles to the cubic centimeter, while a specimen of air taken near the roof of the hall gave 3,500,000 to the cubic centimeter. Iu Edinburgh, on a fine day after snow, the number of dust par tides in the cubic centimeter was 75,000, but in puro country air In number is often as low as 5,000.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

bXcllnloiJ ftolng-to Ti*ke the Place of Silk? An article In The American Analyst gives iome information as to anew use of oaButoid.

Man is gradually developing an ability tc dispense with the familiar old time proces of manufacture iu supplying his wants, which is fraught with startling suggestivonesB in relation to the future advancement vf the race: The latest illustration of this fact that has come to our attention is afforded by a French savant named de Car bonnet, who, it is claimed, has discovered how to make silk without worm He began his experiments some time ago with the guiding idea that the peculiar appearance of silk was the result of the spinning of the liqnid. After many months of repeated and unsuccessful trials he produced several yards of silk in this wise: Ec poured a collodion solution into a copper receiver, which emptied intoasystem of small glass tubes. These tubes terminated in capillaries which carried off the solution in fine, threadlike streams. In the second system of glass tubes, filled with water, the fine streams became fine threads, which, before leaving the neater, were caught mechanically and wound round tiny rollers.

After being heated and cooled in an acid of special gravity and temperature, the threads were made less combustible than cotton by being saturated in a simple chemical preparation. The quality of the silk goods manufactured from these threads is fine. The threads are cylindrical, and are from one to forty micro-millimeters in diameter. They sustain a weight of 25 to 85 kilograms per square millimeter. Ordinary silk bears a weight of 30 to 45 kilograms per square millimeter. Do Carbonnet's silk is much more brilliant than ordinary silk, aud absorbs and holds coloring matter more satisfactorily. As yet only a few pieces have been produced by the new process. Several of them are shown in the Paris exposition. De Carbonnet is confident, however, that further experiments will enable him to manufacture silk cheaply aud in large quantities. In fact, he thinks that, a few years hence, the silkworms may as well go and die, as machinery will then be doing their work much better than thev can do it themselves.

Old Utundford Church.

Hie author of this little poem was Tyrone Powers, the famous Irish comedian who perished with the steamship President. The verses were inscribed on the wall of the "Old Blandford church," near Petersburg, Va., in 1841. The church was built in 1735.

Thou art crumbling to the dust, old pile! Thou art hastening to thy fall, And round thee in thy loneliness,

Clings the ivy to thy wall The worshipers are scattered now. Who knelt before thy shrine And silence reigns where anthems rose

In days of "Auld Lang Syne." And sadly sighs the wandering wind, Where oft, In years gone by, Prayer rose from many hearts to Him,

The highest of the high. The tramp of many a heavy foot, That sought thy aisles is o'er, And many a weary heart around I

Is still forever more.t "J Vv How doth ambition's hope take wings How droops the spirit now 1 We hear the distant city's din,

The dead are mute below. The sim that shone upon their paths Now gilds their lonely graves, The zephyrs which once fanned their brows,

The grass above them wave*

Oh! could we call the many back^A Who've gathered here in vain, w* Who've careless roved where we do now,

Who'll never meet again! 'How would our very hearts he stirred/ To meet the earnest gase Of the lovely and the.beautiful—

The lights of other days.

tTnlted States Naval Pennauts. The size of pennants In the United States navy is as follows: The narrow pennant is described as follows: Head-6.24 inches to a length of 70 feet 5.70 inches to a length of 55 feet 5.34 inches to forty feet 4.8 inches to 30 feet, and 4.2 inches to 25 feet. As to the commodore's or broad pennant, whatever the size adopted a proper proportion must be observed, as noted in the following description:

Swallow tailed, the angle of the tail to be bisected by a line drawn at a right angle from the center of the depth, or hoist, and at a distance from the head of three-fifths of the length of the pennant the lower side is to ba rectangular with the head or hoist the upper aide is to be tapered, running the width of the pennant at the tails. 1 tho hoist.

A Short Talk About the Trees that Furnish India Robber—How the nice Is Caught and What tlie Collectors Do with It—A

Modem Little Jack Horner. j-

Indis ru aoer, or caoutchonc, as it is also called, front which balls, shoes, dolls and a great nutnoer of useful articles are made, is the hardened juice of several quite different tropical trees. In the East Indies and Africa it is obtained from some specie® of the fig family, to which the banyan or true Indian fig belongs.

The India rubber of Brazil comes from trees of quite a different order. One of these is called the india rubber or caoutchouc tree. It grows in the lowlands of the Amazon or on the swampy parts of the mainland, and is not remarkable in appearance. Its bark and foliage area good deal like those of the ash. but it generally grows quite erect to the height of forty or fifty feet before it sends out any branches.

COLLECTING INDIA RUBBER FROM A TRUE. The Portuguese learned the use of the gum from the Indians, who used it in the form of bottles and syringes. It was their custom to present an India rubber bottle to each guest at the beginning of their feasts but it was also so much used for making syringes as to be commonly called the syringa tree. The trees do not belong to auy one, but in August, when the floods are over, people come and encamp near them and stay till January or February collecting the gum. A gash is made iu tho trunk, and a little clay cup shaped by hand is placed underneath to catch the juioe, which is like thick cream, white or yellowish in color.

The collectors have with them a number of wooden molds of various shapes—shoes, bottles. toys, which are coated with clay. The gum is poured over these, and is then smoked in a fire made of the nuts of a palm tree, which hardens and colors it. This is done over and over again, the coating each time being very thin, until the right thickness is obtained. .•

The gum, which is collected in great quantities, is sent to Europe in the liquid state, where it is manufactured into all sorts of articles, Including water proof garments for men, women and children. We have also in our country large manufactories devoted to the making of India rubber goods,

Nine Taller* Make a Man.

Everybody has heard of the saying that it takes nine tailors to make a man, and the general supposition is that it reflects upon tailors in some indefinite manner, and no one knows where the saying originated. Now the troth is, explains Golden Days, that the saying is misquoted, and the proper word is "tatters," or "tellers," not "tailors," as often written, and its origin can be traced back several centuries.

It was one of the customs w'jeti a person died in the parish tc toll the church bell once for every year of the deceased's Ufa But nobody from tVtis could tell the sex of the departed,«» Hi.- sexton, to gratify public curiosity, after ringing: in the u-ual way the auinW of rial*, would give eight quick strokes if the deceased was a woman and nir." if it was a man.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Interesting Facta froiua Professional Sources. Popular Cares and Notions. After a thorough trial of the tannin treatment for consumption, at the Hospital St. Jean, Brussels, Dr. Houze reports excellent results iii all stages of die disease, especially in cases where cavities existed. Of all the different methods of treatment he has ever tried, Dr. House considers that this has given the most satisfactory results. He uses ordinarily a dose of fifteen grains, taken three times a day. Where it is not well borne (which seldom occurs), be directs that it be taken with meals. After a few days, expectoration and sweats diminished, the cough decreased mid generally the appetite improved. Many of the patients had some constipation while others had diarrhea, bnt, after these effects of the tannin were regulated, the general symptoms improved, the sputa becoming white and frothy, instead of green ami firm, and the hectic present in ^:anv of the cases vanished.

The Eel kin Cure for Rheumatism* The eel skin cure for rheumatism, though savoring of sii|»eitition, is nevertheless undoubtedly a good deal indulged iu and many complete cures are accredited to it. Among the English it would seem to be very popular, if one may judge from the following conversation of-ftne of the largest eel dealers in the London fish market: "Well, you know," he said, "we dont skin eels here. We sell them in quantity and alive. All the same, I have heard a good deal about the employment of eel skins for the cure of rheumatism, and though I have never used them myself, for I am thankful to say I do not suffer from the complaint, I do know of numbers of cases in which they have been used with complete success. Our men are often asked to get a few skins for customers." "Can you tell me what is supposed to be their special virtue

No except that they are effectual. Hundreds of London cabmen wear them, and swear by them, and I have a number of gentlemen customers in the country who ask me to send them eel skins to give away to the poor people of their districts. Persons who have once worn them will never be without them if they can help it. But I cannot tell you what medicinal property they possess. Perhaps after all it is only warmth, for, of course, they must form an almost air tight bandage, like apiece of gutta perchaor gold beater's skin. Perhaps it-is only fancy, and that goes a very long way, as you probably know. Why, have heard that a skein of silk tied round the waist will cure lumbago, or round the knee will cure rheumatism in the leg. Now, what earthly medicinal property can there be in a Bkein of silk? Of course, the skins are generally considered as refuse or offal, and are consequently thrown away.'

EflV-tf^of Dust on tlie

Dust of various kinds is regarded as an en emy of the lungs, its effects being dependent, however, not so much on the quantity in haled, as on the greater or less power of different sorts to injure the tissues. Science tells that Dr. Kunze, of the University of Kiel, after observation and experiments, has arrived at the following conclusions on this subject:

The least serious alterations in the lungs resulted from the inhalation of lamp black, the particles of which are very fine and little injurious the most serious, from the dust inhaled by earthenware manufacturers and stonemasons. The lungs of a locksmith showed only a moderate hyperplasia of connective tissue, the dust consisting partly of the finest particles of iron. In a worker in oxides of iron the lungs were found full of small granules, and the morbid changes in the tissues were very considerable. The luugs of gold miners were generally indurated and atrophied the dust in these cases is exceedingly fine. Sand pro duced numerous circumscribed hard nodules and thick indurations. In cloth manu factures the lungs, in spite of their contact with an enormous quantity of organic dust, presented but few indurations. La the lungB of two stonemasons, induration and tubercu lous disintegration were observed all the other luugs werA entirely free from tubercles of any kind.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.1

Good Breeding In the Small and Familiar j, Circle of the Household. It is a difficult matter for several people ot perhaps totally dissimilar tastes and disposi tions to live day by day in the neosssarily in timate relations of one household and not feel their ties sometimes pressing very sorely upon them. Commenting on this subject, at writer in Good Housekeeping asks: "Who has not sometimes known the utter abandonment of a family where every one does what seems good to himself, without thought of the rert. and where delicacy aad tenderness are counted bnt fit for the outside world to seef And who, remembering the daily struggfealbeit good natured—does not contrast such a home to disadvantage with the most formal, the most ceremonious of bis acquaintance?

Little civilities are so easily taught a child they so inevitably cling to him hereafter, it is a burning shame that parents of sense and taste allow the simplest rules of politeness to be gathered from a later social intercourse, or to be donned and doffed like ttu# Sunday dress. To the first lessons not to put his knife to his mouth can be added further injunctions just as important, which must be taught some time, with no real reason why they should not be taught now. The only objection can be that too many roles bewilder and perplex, and that the most important are those of principle, not behavior. But principle should guide behavior. And object teaching is said to be wearisome. If one sees and knows only the right way, how will be learn the wrong? "A tendency to cleanse but the outside "of the cup and platter has always to be guarded against. I have seen," says the writer already quoted, "children with an exquisite air of begging pardon, atul askiug permission, who were selfWi. intolerable little pigsas well as prigs. I ii-u-p *een dear, i^h boys and awkward gis werep-n -va and honest. and thor" '_*l.iy lovable good, But these mstan•- not alter the fact that, iu each case, the pm -it had labored ts ad1 vantage, uor thai rb small people might not have been still if improved.
