SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

INTERESTING SENTED

INFORMATION PREIN BRIEF FORM.

A N«w Appuratiu Invented by a French Scientist 'to Take the Place of Newton's Dirk In IIIuKfriiting the Composition of

White Light.Heretofore the fact tbat white light is really a mixture of the different colors of the spectrum has been demonstrated to the stu dent and investigator of the science of optics by means of the familiar instrument called "Newton's disk," wiOicli is painted with the different colors of the spectrum in radial sections. When rapidly rotated 8CM18 to confuse the colors to the eye, this disk appears white, or, rather, of, a dirty gray color. This difficulty of irnper- recompositjox of light. fection of color, which, to make the result conclusive, should be pure white, has lately been remedied. M. fc'oitevin, a French scientist, has invented an apparatus by which the actual spectral colors themselves are used in place of artificial dyes and paints. La Nature describes this apparatus, of which the plan is shown in the cut, as follows:

It consists of a disk (A), which can bemade to rotate rapidly. Two narrow slits are cut in this disk, before which two direct vision prisms (C and CI Dl) are placed. The apparatus ia placed before a screen, and a beam of white light thrown upon it, so as to pass Virough the prisms, which decompose it in Mch away tbat two spectral images appear upon the screen, showing all the colors in their natural shades and brilliancy, red, violet,, etc. Now, if the disk and prisms are rotated, the colored sections will move over the screen so rapidly that the eye cannot follow them, the image in one position remaining persistent in the eye till another one takes its place. In this way all the colors of the spectrum are recombined in the eye, as it were, and the previously color dl! image on the screen appears.'perfectly white.

The Aurora Borealls.

The remarkable luminous phenomenon of the polar regions known as aurora borealis, northern light or, more properly, polar aurora, is familiar through description to most readers, but it possesses some striking and interesting concomitants by no moans so well known.

Of the aurora it suffices to say that at the close of day an indistinct light appears in the horizon. This luminosity gradually changes into a regular arc of pale yellow, with concave side toward the earth. Finally the rays burst all over the horizon, passing from yellow to deep green and the most brilliant purple. All these rays converge towards one point in the horizon, and then form a fragment of an immense luminous cupola. When the luminous arc is formed it often remains visible some hours then the luster gradually diminishes or is suddenly extinguished.

POLAR AURORA.

The cut represents the aurora in its most beautiful form of a luminous arc. Numerous hypotheses have been devised to account for the aurora boreales. The constant direction of their arc as regards the magnetic meridian and their action on the magnetic needle, suggest that they should be attributed to electric currents in the higher regions of the atmosphere.

Some remarkable circumstances confirm the above hypothesis. During the prevalence of aurora, electric telegraph lines are spontaneously affected in a powerful but irregular manner needles are deflected, armatures attracted and alarums rung. The interference is at times so serious, especially in northern countries, that, according to good authority, it is necessary to suspend the ordinary transmission of telegraphic messages. The discharges are, in fact, occasionally so steady and continuous as to form a true current of electricity, and cases are known in which the telegraphic wires have been detached from the battery, and the discharge has been used instead.

According to De la Rive, the auroras boreales ar© due to electric discharges which take place in polar regions between the positive electricity of tho atmosphere and the negative electricity of the terrestrial globe electricities which themselves are separated by tha action of tho sun, principally in the equatorial regions.

le*icvatiou Takes the Place of I'utrefactlotf Travelers in Africa have found bodies of camels, which bad evidently died of fatigue in the desert, to be so dried and preserved by the heat of the sun that no evidences of postmortem decay were discovered. The atmosphere of our northwest territories is, in some places, so dry that the snows of winter pass off from the ground without leaving it wet, and mummified buffalo have been found on the plains of Colorado.. When freshly killed meat is subjected to a dry summer heat it is rapidly converted into the well known jerked beef oF the plains. Dried apples, peaches and other fruits are familiar examples to every housekeeper of desiccated vegetable matter. This method of preservation is as widely known as it is primitive, and clearly indicates that absence of moistur* prevents decomposition of organic material, or, in other words, desiccation takes the place of putrefaction.

THE CURIOSITY SHOF^j

Are People Burled Alive?—The Bavarian

System of Determining Death. It appears that many bodies have been discovered, years after burial, with their faces turned downward, but from what cause has not been stated, at least not satisfactorily. It is believed that with all the usual precautions, bodies are not infrequently bttried hurriedly which should be kept longer on the surface so as to test the chances of remaining vitality. It was observed in London Notes and Queries, ip 1853, as follows:

It is now above twenty years since this paragraph appeared in the London papers: "A correspondent in The Bath Herald states tho following singular circumstance: 'Having occasion last week to inspect a grave in one of the parishes in this city, in which two or three members of a family had been buried some years since, and which lay in very wet ground, I observed that the upper part of the coffin was rotted away, and had left the head and bones of the skull exposed to view. On inquiring of the gravedigger how it came to pass that I did not observe the usual sockets of the eyes in the skull, he replied that what I saw was the hind part of the bead (termed the occiput, I believe, by anatomists), and that the face was turned, as usual, to the earth. Not exactly understanding his phrase "as usual," I inquired if the body had been .buried with the face upward, as in the ordinary way to which he replied, to my astonishment, in the affirmative, adding that in the course of decomposition the face of every individual turns to the earth and that in the experience of three-and-twenty years in his situation, he had never known more than one instance to the contrary.'"

Mr. William Adams, of this city, states that while in Munich, Bavaria, this last summer, he and his party visited an arcade in which the bodies of the dead rest forty-eight hours bofore final burial. Each body lies exposed, and a cord which hangs from the roof and has a ring attached to its end, which ring is slipped on to one of the rigid fingers, communicates with the porter's lodge. If any body thus arranged comes to life again and the finger with the ring moves, a bell rings in the lodge and the porter at once betakes himself to the arcane to ascertain the cause. Arcades of this description, says Mr. Adams, are located at various points throughout Bavaria. He made inquiry as to whether this plan had ever resulted in the revival of life in any body, and was informed that some years ago a child was laid out in the arcade in the manner described that during the night the bell in the porter's lodge rang that the porter immediately went to the place indicated by the signal and found the child sitting up that she was taken care of, and is now a young woman about 25 years old. This one case was as good as a thousand in demonstrating the utility of the Bavarian system.

Hurtful Occupations.

There are many occupations in which the eyes have to suffer, as very small objects must be critically scrutinized, frequently by artificial light. The objects, in order to be distinctly seen, must be brought quite near the eye. This necessitates great straining of the eye. The eyeball being compressed somewhat by the muscles causes congestion, which is increased by artificial light in which there is excessive heat. Rays of yellow color are very trying to the eyes. Engravers, lapidaries, watchmakers and sewing girls aro subject to affections of the eyes, due to above mentioned causes. They lead a sedentary life, sitting at work in a constrained attitude, with the body bent forward and shoulders rounded, so that the thoracic movements are interfered with. This produces consumption, the cases of this disease among engravers and seamstresses being very numerous. Engravers are also subject to spasms in their fingers, with disease of the skin on the hands and forearms.

Watchmakers who do the repairing have the nail on the right thumb thickened and scaly from thoir manner of opening watches. The nails on tho thumb and index finger of the left hand show at the point where they approach each other, in order to hold delicate pieces, a worn appearance and almost complete destruction produced by the constant rubbing of the file. Seamstresses are sometimes poisoned by the stuffs they work upon. Many instances have occurred of arsenical poisoning in those who sewed green goods which are colored with arsenical salts. A physician of Boston found 8.21 grains of it .ip one square foot of goods. An itching, eczematous eruption has been produced by tissues colored with the bright aniline dyes. Silk thread is also soaked in the acetate of lead to increase its weight, and persons who pass it through the mouth in threading needles, and then bite it off with the teeth, have suffered from lead poisoning. The influence of sewing machines on the health of women has often been discussed by eminent men with conflicting arguments and evidence. The mcft elaborate investigation is by Duchesne. He found that women suffered from muscular pain and great fatigue of the lower limbs, with dyspepsia and other evih while other writers agree that moderate work on the sewing machine is rather beneficial for health than otherwise, and that only where women work from eight to ten hours at the treadle evil results are apparent. It seems clear, therefore, that the chief source of their troubles is fatigue, which, with their habits of life, food, associations, etc., fully accounts for the symptoms. As the health of women is vastly more, important to the national vigor than that of men, special care should ever be taken to guard it.—Boston Globe.

A National Song.

"The Star Spangled Banner" was composed by Francis Soott Key, an American, at the time detained on the British cartel ship Minden, duriug the bombardment of Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Sept. 14,1814. Key and a friend had gone down from Baltimore to the British fleet to obtain the release of a Dr. Beanes. They obtained it, but were not allowed to return to the city because the bombardment was tx begin. Key wrote the song on the back of a letter he had in his pocket as he walked up and down tho deck. On his return he read the song to his uncle, Judge Nicholson, whJ(bad it printed, and Charles Dtirang sang it in a restaurant on Sept. 16, 1814.

The Largest Army.

Russia has the largest standing army in the world, 735,213 men, with 13S,167 horses and 1,734 guns the standing army of Germany consists of 472,383 men, 84,091 horses and 1,374 guns. Great Britain has the largest navy, with some 500 vessels of all classes Italy has the most heavily armed vessels and the heaviest guns yet afloat, but it is possible that the biggest vessels and guns may {rove boomeracgish in war so far, in peace, tfeey have proved pretty deadly to their owners.

TlfPiaoJslP

In Which the Inventor of the Engine, the Copying Press and

Many Other Useful Appliance* in the Man ufactarl ng Arts "Was Born.

The inventor of the condensing low pressure steam engine was certainly one of tho greatest benefactors of mankind. Jtemes Watt was born at Greenock, on the Cly$®, 1736.

The house in which he was born, No. 13 Dalrymple street, in that town, has lately, been pulled down by the Greenock improvement commissioners. A sketch of it was first mndn, which is here reproduced for the benefit of young readers who may entertain some curiosity about the birthplace of one of the world's noted men.

THE BIRTHPLACE OP JAMES WAIT. The position of the building will be tnarke^, by a memorial tablet on the new building to, bo erected on this site. James Watt, in his youth, was apprenticed to a- maker of mathematical instruments. He began, at the age of 20, to make experiments with steam, as a motive power. In 1770 he commenced practice as an engineer, and in 1774 entered into partnership with Mr. Matthew Boulton, of the Soho works, at Birmingham, where his grand inventions ware applied with speedy success and results of amazing magnitude. James Watt retired from business in 1800 and died in 1819. He was the inventor also of the copying press, of improvements in the process »f bleaching and of* many useful appliances fn the manufacturing.arts.

Europe's fair domain.

A Simple Experiment.

Au interesting little experiment or trick is tbat of floating a needle. Get a glass of water and a needle and try to make the needle float. All that is required is a little skill, which practice will give. In the same way an ordinary steel pen may sometimes be floated in water. If you have a magnet and rub it on the needle before the latter is placed in the water, it will point, like a compass, to the magnetic pole when floating, no matter what way it may point when first placed in the liquid.

Two Faithful Dogs.

Little Men and Women tells the very little folks a story about two faithful dogs, of which it gives a picture. The dogs were lost in the show with their master. "The snow was so deep he could go no further, and sank down, quite tired out.

The day passed and he could not go on, and no help came, and by and by he died. But the dogs would not leave him. They sat by him, and licked his cold face and hands, trying to rouse him.

THEY CARRY THE 1CKAT TO THKIB MASTER. Nobody knows how long they staid there. But one day some men found them. They saw them a little way off and called them. The dogs could hardly crawl, they were so lean and weak, for all this time they bad had nothing to eat They would not leave their master to look for food.

But when the men gave them meat, did these starving dogs eat it? No they took it in their mouths and laid it beside their dead master, thinking, I suppose, that then he would open his eyes and speak to them.

Facta and Figures.

Colleges of music for training young bullfinches sing are established in certain parts of Germany as regular institutions. There are twenty^t wo Protestant places for worship open within the walls of Rome. The latest figures of tho Mormon church give 12 apostles, 70 patriarchs, 3,719 high priests, 11,805 elders, 2,069 priests, 2,593 teachers and 11,610 deacons, or a total of 3l,S77 officers for a population of 170,000. In tho section of the Paris, exhibition devoted to the Histoire du Theatre there is a collection of wax models of feet of noted ballet dancers. The British Women% Temperance association has now 400 branches and 35,000 members. Japanese auctions aro, conducted mi a novel plan, by which each bidder write* his name and bid upon a slip of paper, which he places ia a box when the bidding is over, the box & opened by the aoctkneer, and the goods dedared the property of the highest bidder.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Health and Spirits—To Feel ITnosually Well Mot Always a favorable Sign. Whatever may be thought to the contrary, the standard of health is as liable to fluctuations as the weather, says The Lancet. The barometer is, in a meagre, the gauge of the state of the weather, buS we have no instrument for estimating even with an approach to the truth the state of the vitality of any individual. The customary salutation, even when replied to in the usual adverbial manner, is certainly no accurate criterion of the state of the health, since a general paralytic often feels much better than he has any physiological right to do. And, in opposite fashion, a man who does not know how he feds may be in first rate health, or at least in a splendid condition for opposing tho? forces which are constantly tending, like the force of gravity, to bring a man to earth.

Every one knows, in greater or less degree, that which makes for his physical welfare, but it is not always realized to the fullest extent that an improvement in the feeling of health is by no means always desirable in the interests of longevity. To feel extraordinarily well costs much, and the excessive expenditure of mental force may derange a considerable number of corporeal functions, lie desire to want to be in good "form" requires restriction in the case of many nervous individuals, whose powers are not always equal to their appetite for high spirits.

Magnelis a Core for Warts. It is fairly established that the common wart, which is so unsightly and often so proliferous on the hands and face, can be easily removed by small doses of sulphate of magnesia takeu internally. M. Colrat, of Lyons, has drawn attention to this extraordinary *fact. Several children treated with threegrain doses of Epsom salts, morning and evening, were promptly cured. M. Aubert cites the case of a woman whose face was disfigured by these excrescences, and who was cured in a month by drams of magnesia taken daily. Another medical man reports a case of very large warts which disappeared in a fortnight from the daily administration of 10 grains of the salts.

Chloroform for Delirium Tremens. A physician gives an account in The Medical Record of a case of delirium tremens, in which tonic spasms were but partially overcome by the inhalation of six ounces of chloroform. He then gave chloroform internally in teaspoonful doses every fifteen or twenty minutes Six of these controlled the patient, and the next day he was able to go out, though not entirely recovered from his two weeks' spree. He was a large, muscular mem, and there was no question that the con-^ vulsions resulted from excess of alcohol.

Alum in Bread.1

Alum owes its power of blanching the paste of bread not to the alumina which it contains, or to the combination of this earth with the gluten, but to the sulphuric acid liberated by the formation of aluminum albuminate. According to. Nothnagel and Rossbach, the prolonged daily use of alum occasions gastric disturbances not unimportant. The author finds that the artificial gastric digestion of alumed' bread effects the soluticfltof all the alum present. Hence it is possibjH^at a quantity of alumina may enter th^ffrculatiou daily.

Effect of Arsenic on the Skin. Some women use arsenic for the purposp of obtaining a pearly whiteness of skin. Prominent physicians in New York call "attention to the frightfully rapid spread of this custorii among the uneducated class. One of them says: "The cause of the transparent white? ness of the skin is that the ends of the blood vessels are killed. The arsenic also destroys the action of the kidneys, and inevitably brings on a fatal disease of the digestive organs."

Sterilized#MHk for Children. Since Aug. 1, according to Medical News, sterilized milk has been furnished to children under treatment at the Philadelphia Polyclinic. The milk is sterilized by the Visiting Nurse society of Philadelphia, and taken tfe the child by the nurse in attendance in the bottles in which it is prepared. Milk and bottles are furnished the parents at cost. The results'have been excellent.

One Thing and Another.

The principal medical periodicals ,of the world are about 266 in number, of whic^ 174 are published in the United States and 92 in all other countries.

Dr. Walker, of Brooklyn, finds from statistics that the cfemmon belief is not sustained that infant mortality in this country has decreased of late years.

Dr. Hibberd maintains that it is not the insufficiently clothed person who is most subject to colds, but the one who is overclad.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Few Practical

Suggestions for Geb tiemen Callers.

A. that can command his time may make ceremonious calls, in most of the large cities, at any hour between 2 and 5 in the afternoon, and the man tbat has not the leisure to call during the afternoon may make in the evening after half past 8. The careless, ignorant or over eager sometimes call earlier, for fear the lady may be out but this is not considered good usage.

If during your call another visitor should arrive, you should not appear to shun him, bat should wait two or three minutes and join in the conversation before you take leave. Persons-that outsit two or three callers, nniflBs then is some special reason for their doing so, are in danger of being called bores, who are persons that have not sufficient tact to know when they should take leave.

It is often no easy matter either to know when to take leave or how to take-leave gracefully. As a rule, avoid all such observations as "Well, 1 think it is time for me to be going," and do fcot look at your watch. The best way to'make one's exit, whether the conversation has begun to fog

O listen! On the breezes glad voices come toFrom many a wife and mother, and this is what they say: "The 'Favorite Prescription' works cures where doctors fail. Best friend of suffering women, O blessed boon, all hall"!

If every woman who suffers from diseases peculiar to her sex, knew of its wonderful curative properties, what a mighty chorus of rejoicing would be heard throughout the length and breadth of the land, singing the praises of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee lrom the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years.
