SCIKNCE AND PROGRESS.

INTERESTING KNOWLEDGE PRESENTED IN BRIEF AND POPULAR FORM,

AH Entertaining Experiment with a Broken Lamp Chimney and a Whistle, for the Purpose of Showing That Vibrations of Air Csiuae Sound.

A simple experiment, originated by Professor Ktaiilt, utilizes a broken student lamp jcbimnoy and an ordinary wooden whistle in such manner as to show that sonorous vibrations may be originated by the vibrations of a column of air—the principle upon which musical wind instruments are based. A student lamp chimney generally breaks across the narrow neck, just above the bottom portion. The remaining cylinder of glass is used in the experiment.

To show that the vibrations of the air nlone, and not those of either whistle or glass, produce the sound, hold the two solid bodies firmly with the hands to prevent their vibrating, then blow again, and the sound and the movement of the silica, which is its visible expression, will remain the same.

Flien In the Snow.

A correspondent of a Glasgow journal tells of a curious discovery made by himself and a friend while ascending the Benmore mountain: "We found the cono well powdered with snow, which got deeper and firmer as we ascended, and when we had reached within, say, 500 or 600 feet of the top we came upon a solitary fly, quite dead, but which hud evidently been very recently in the full enjoyment of life and health. A few feet farther 011 wo found five or six more, some alive and some dead but, higher still and within a very short distance of the top, we were surprised to find hundreds, all alive and apparently enjoying themselves, though few of them seemed able to use their wings. At this elevation the ground was pretty deeply covered with snow and all the rocks thickly crusted with ice, and we noticed that it was particularly where the ice was thickest that tbe insects were most numerous. On the south side of the mountain, where we descended, we saw none of our little friends. I am not li naturalist, and Benmore may perhaps be the ordinary winter resort of the fly, but it appears curious that an insect which is so generally associated with the idea of -trarmth should be found in such numbers in winter at an elevation of 3,800 feet above sea iOVel."

VIBKATION'8 OF 80U-VD ILLUSTRATED.

This portion of tbe chimney is sealed up tight at the broken end with wax. The other end has a cork fitted into it and in the cork is a bole, previously bored through the center, into which Is tightly flitted the upper part of a common wooden whistle. The whistle, which, together with the completed instrument, is here illustrated, is cut in two at the point indicated by the dotted line and only the upper portion is used.

Inside the glass tube is placed a small quantity of very fins) precipitated silica, a powder remarkable for its lightness.

Now, if the tube bo held horizontally and the whistle blown the silica powder will spring up into a number of thin vertical plates, forming groups separated by portions of powder that remain motionless.

The apparatus, as will bo seen, consists of a cord fastened to the ceiling and floor. In tho centcr of tho cord is ilxetl an inflated rubber bull with a cover to protect it from rings, etc. It is easily put in place or detached when required, and the cords havo an arrangement for readily raising or lowering tho ball to the required height, and for increasing or decreasing the tension.

Crude Coca! no.

It is stated .that, since lSx, crude tweuino has been sent from Peru in largely iacroasiug quantities, and that its importation is likely to supersede that of coca leaves, which have hitherto boon largely imported for manufacture, .There are now reported to be at least four manufacturers In Bern, with tho chief market for their product at Hamburg, from which, curiously enough, their products can be had bother, cheaper and in shorter timo than from Peru. Another curious circumstanc® connect*.*! with this young industry is that one of the largest and most successful makers is by trade, and was by occupation. a bricklayer when Dr. Squibb's processes were published, and simply took them up as a better and more promiamg tmd® for making money. Tho advantages of exporting the crude*alkaloid rather thau the coca leaves are many and important. As cocaine is transported in the treasure chests of the steamers, the difference ia freight is about as one-half pound to 100 pounds of the leaves.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

The Canal of Joseph—A "Work Six Thou-

Band Year8 old*

How many of the engineering works of the Nineteenth century will there be in existence in the year 0000? Very few, we fear, and still less those that will continue in fee far off age to servo a useful purpose. Yet there te-at least one great undertaking conceived and executed by an engineer which during the space of 4,000 years has never ceased its office, on which the life of a fertile province absolutely depends today. We refer to the Bahr Joussuf—the canal of Joseph—built, according to tradition, by the son of Jacob, and which constitutes not the least of the many blessings he conferred on Egypt during the years of his prosperous rule. This canal took its rise from the Nile atAsiut, and ran almost parallel with it for nearly 250 miles, creeping along tuuder the western cliffs of the Nile valley, with many a bend and winding, until at length it gained at eminence, as compared with the river txkl, which enabled it to turn westward through a narrow pass and enter a district which was otherwise shut off from the fertilizing floods on which all vegetation in Egypt depends.

The northern end stood seventeen feet above low Nile, while at tbe southern end it was at an equal elevation with the river. Through this cut ran a pereunial stream, which watered a province named the Fayoum, endowing it with fertility and supporting a large population. In the time of the annual flood a great part of the canal was under water, and then the river's current would rush in a-inore direct course into the pass, carrying with it the rich silt which takes the place of manure and keeps the soil in a state of constant productiveness. All this, with the exception of the traditions that Joseph built it, can be verified today, and it is not mere supposition or rumor.—London Engineering.

Some Rivers.

In Colombia there is a river so exceedingly sour to the taste that it has been very appropriately termed the Rio de Vinagre, or Vinegar river. The bitterness of the water is caused by an admixture of sulphuric acid. Many varieties of fish aboun.d in the large Orange river of South Africa, until the river passes through a rocky region containing copier ores, below which the water ia said to be poisonous and to kill the fish that venture into it, China's Sorrow is the name that has been given to the great Hoang Ho, which rises in the mountains of Thibet and follows a wonderfully circuitous channel for 3,500 miles to the sea. The waywardness of this mighty volume of water makes tbe river a source of constant anxiety and danger to over 170,000,000 of people inhabiting the central plain of China. It is known to havo suddenly changed its course nine times, each time emptying its floods in a different direction, and sweeping towns and villages away in its irresistible onrush. It has completely changed the physical character of a wide area, turning fertile tracts of couutry into a sandy waste on which nothing will grow, or else making shallow lakes on which nothing will sail.

Stanley's Last Trip.

Henry M. Stanley started on his last expedition early in 1S8G. He was then in Amer ica giving a course of lectures, when an association was formed in England with Sir William Mackinnon at its head, the object of which was to rescue Emin Bey from a perilous position. This philanthropist and statesman was lost sight of after the fall of Khartoum and his life

was

despaired of,as after Gen.

Gordon, tho governor general of tho Soudan, was killed, Emitf* W|ts thtj ^object of intense hate to tho Mohammedan!,.4 "P, 3 call for duty as leader of the expedition reached bim while in the midst of a lecture tour, and was immediately accepted all other engagements leing canceled at once. The king of the Belgians, the khedive of Egypt and the English promoters of the expedition all agreed that Stanley was the best person for the journey. On Juno 28, 18S0, Stanley started up the Congo with 375 Indians and three English ofHcers, and in three years traveled over 5,000 miles of swamp, impenetrable tropical forest, through Jpudly malarial regions and incessant finding Emin Bey atLake Albert Nyaifflr

Fifty Years Ago.

Fifty years ago the population of the United States was only 17,697,420. The census cost tho government $833,437. There were slaves in all the states except Maine," Massachusetts, Vermont and Michigan. Iowa bad 16 slaves, Wisconsin 11, Ohio 3, Indiana 9, Illinois 331 total in all the states and territories was 2,486.228. Fifty years ago the first railroad spike machine was put into use, making fifty a minute, forming both point and head. Henry Burden, of Troy, N. Y., was tho inventor. It ranked among the best paying inventions of modern times. Fifty years ago the Whig party held its first convention at Harrisburg, Pa., nominating Gen. William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, as president of the United States, Fitty years ago Joseph A. Adams, for the first time, made use of tho idea now embodied in the art of ele.ctrotyping by reproducing from wood cuts. Fifty years ago the first power loom for weaving carpets was used.—Current Literature.

OluJ^rjr Carving.

The earlier records of ivory carving record tho ivory throne of the wise Solomon, the curiously carved coffins of the Chaideans, the .Ethiopian carvings of Sesostris, tho Ethiopian carvings, principally in ivory obtained from the narwhal, and the fine work of the Etruscans and Greeks. Homer speaks of the ivory decorations of the palace of Merielaus, and other old historians of a dead past of the famous statue if Jupiter at Epbesus, and the Venus of Mugard, carved by Praxiteles. In the caves of La Madeline carvings of animals Mid gods were found, but of all these only thp history remains, no trace is left, the most andent relics being those in the Vatican, which were brought to Rome from Byzantium, at a date so remote that tho record is lost.

The area of the United States, including Alaska, is &0O3,99O square tuiles that of British North America, so called, which include the present Dominica of Canada and Newfoundland, is 3,510,592 square mites. The whole area of the states and territories, including water surface of lakes and territories, is nearly eqoal to 4,000,000 square miles* The surface of the Dominion of Canada is inch in tbe area'given above.

ENTERTAINMENT AND INSTRUCTION FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. mm$: [•iEiifck The Handsome Tropical Plant from Which

Castor Oil Is Blade—A Curious Specimen in Natural History—Good Games for the Winter Evenings. The castor oil plant is probably familiar to some of our readers who have seen it growing in gardens as a handsome annual much admired for the bi illiancy of its foliage but few have any idea of the size it attains in Africa and other warm countries of which it is a native. In those countries it lives several years and becomes a tree fifteen to twenty feet high. The accompanying picture shows one of these tropical castor oil trees

THE CASTOB OIL. PLANT.

The leaves of the castor oil plant are large and beautiful, and the coloriug of plant and fruit is very rich. One variety has blood red stalks and scarlet fruit another is in differ ent shades of purple. Its seed vessel is covered with spines, and contains three large, flat seeds, from which castor oil is made.

The best and most tasteless oil is obtained by merely pressing the seeds but in Jamaica they are first bruised in a mortar and then tied in bags and boiled in water, the oil being skimmed off as it rises to the top, and then strained. In the West Indies it is used for burning in lamps as well as for medicine.

Games for the Long Evenings. Those who are fond of drawing will find the game of "Positions" a pleasant pastime for long evenings. Any number can play the game—the more the merrier. All the players seat themselves round a table, and each one must be supplied with small pieces of white paper and a pencil. All the players except one then silently think on some position in life which it is possible for them to fill, and each makes some sign of their "position" by sketching a little picture of some,, article conuocted with their or business on their blank piece $r' name of each sketajher should-Oe SVi their paper.

All the illustrated papers a^9 t^p sfent round the table, so that each "may" see the other's pictures, but no one criticises them all. Lastly, they are handed to the "guesser," the player Who has taken no part except keeping the time, who ranges them on the table. The "guesser" then looks at the pictures and proceeds to guess the intended "position" of each artist. If she fail to guess any of the "positions," the first at whom she stops is chosen guesser for the next time if there has been no failure, the player on the right hand of the guesser takes the privilege. The principal object of this game is for each player to try who can make the best sketch in five minutes, and the next object is to puzzle the

The game of "Names" is played in a similar manner to that of "Positions," the playel's being all seated round a table, and being provided with paper and pencils. The time— five minutes—must likewise be kept by one of the party. One commences by calling out, "Girls' names commencing with A then each player writes down all the girls' nainds that she can recollect beginning with A during the five minutes allowed. At the expiration of the time, tbe oldest player reads from her slip all the names she has written down. All the other players, as the names are read out, cancel any name on their lists mentioned. When the marks are allotted for the names, only those are given to names which have no duplicates on any of tho other lists. Then another player calls put, "Names of all rivers beginning with B," and so on through the alphabet, different names of places, court-' tries, animals, etc., being given for the various letters. This game causes much amusement, owing to the difficulty often experienced in thinking even of well known names quickly and in the five minutes allowed.

"A« Intelligent HorM*.

That a horse can think and reason has been more than once fully proven, says Golden Days, which relates this incident in support of the assertion. One day in Chicago, recently, a big fine looking horse attached to a grocer's wagon fell down in the middle of a slippery pavement. The driver did not jump down and belabor the animal with a club, most drivers would have done. He alight from the wagon and quickly loosened thi harness upon his horse. Then he took from the wagon a lap robe and spread it upon the slippery pavement near the fallen horsed feet. Tho intelligent animal did not mistake the mute suggestion. He eyed* the robe for a moment and then ho edged around until his feet were planted on it. Thea, with an effort, he rose to an upright postaou, aad then lifted his feet while the driver picked up the robe. Then the driver readjusted the harness, nvJlmted his ssat on the box and drove oa. Is it not evident that the horse that he could not slip on the robef

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Alleged

the

Spontaneous Combustion of Human Body.

While the theory of spon tan eons- combustion. of the human -body is pronounced by some medical authorities to be as yet without convincing proof, it is conceded that there occasionally occurs an abnormally increased combustibility of the body, which may account for cases of alleged spontaneous ignition. It is interesting to note, however, that in a work on spontaneous combustion, Dr. F. Ogsten asserts that out of [thirty-five authors who have treated of this subject, five were entirely skeptical on the whole matter, three believed in increased combustibility only, and twenty-seven believed in spontaneous igmtabdity as well. ,^V

From time to tim¥ mstiances of apparent spontaneous combustion are reported. The Therapeutic Gazette mentions two cases in 1889. One of these was an old woman addicted to the excessive use of whisky, of which she had drunk a quart the day she died. She had always been the last of the household to go to bed, and so always extinguished the tallow candle (their sole means of illumination). There was also a fire in the kitchen stove. The inner walls of the house were covered with greasy soot, and the two old men who were the only other occupants were both asphyxiated. A hole was found burned through the kitchen floor about two and onehalf by three feet square. Upon examining the opening in the floor a mass of cinders was discovered on the ground beneath. 'Upon removing them, the skull, the cervical and hal^the dorsal vertebrae were found reduced very nearly to a cinder, also about six inches of the right femur, together with part of the ilium in about the same state as the vertebrae. The feet were found in the shoes the left foot was reduced to a cinder, the shoe being partially calcined the other foot and shoe were reduced to a complete cinder. On removing, the entire remains of a woman, who a few hours previous had weighed one hundred and sixty pounds, Were placed in a box that would hold less than one bushel. The entire remains weighed twelve pounds. The pine joint against which the remaining cinders lay was slightly, charred, but not burning when found.

To burn the hurhan body, under ordinary circumstances, is well known to be no easy matter. What, then, is it that occasionally imparts to it so abnormal a susceptibility to flame? Here, according to medical authorities, theories are at fault. We may safely say that it is not, as has been claimed by some, alcohol deposited in the tissues for Liebig found that flesh saturated in that liquid would burn only until' the alcohol was consumed. The hydrogen theory is also fanciful and the best explanation, namely, an abundant deposit of fat in the cells of the body in such cases, fails to account for the fact that not all fat people a\*e subject to this fate, but that it is only the fat, elderly, alcoholic subjects that have been shown to manifest abnormal combustibility. Possibly the alcohol in such cases has the double effect of laying up fat and stupefyihg the subject, so that he is unable to save himself when he does take fire.

•M The Care of the Teeth. At a meeting of dentists, Dr., Richter, of Bresiau, had the following to say about the best means of preserving the teeth: We know that the whole method of correctly caring for the teeth can be expressed in two words, brush, soap. In these two things we have all that is needful for the preservation of the teeth. AH the preparations not containing soap are not to be recommended and if they contain soap, all other ingredients are useo^w^oftnt for the purpose of making their

Among the soaps, the white

*y€astile soap of the English market is espe"cially to be recommended. A shower of tooth preparations has been thrown on the market, but very few of which are to be recommended. Testing the composition of them, we find that about 90 per cent, are not only unsuitable for their purpose, but that the greater part are actually harmfUl. All the preparations containing salicylic acid are, as the investigations of Fernier have shown, destructive of the teeth. He who

Will unceasingly preach to his patients to brush their teeth carefully shortly before bedtime, as a cleansing material to use castilesoap, as a mouth wash a solution of oil of peppermint in water, and to cleanse the spaces between the teeth by careful use of a silken thread, will help them in preserving their teeth, and will win the gratitude and good words of the public.

Venomous Wounds.

"I have treated more than one hundred cases, in Texas, of bites of venomousreptiles,". Writes a physician to Medical Briefs, "and have found that potassium permanganas, in one or two grain doses, hypodermically, and chloroform locally and by inhalation, are certain remedies. Have never seen a case treated with these two remedies result fatally."

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Private and Public Ball* —What Good Form Exacts from Young Men. Gentlemen who have not selected partners before tbe ball come to their hostess and ask to be presented to ladies who will dance with them. As a hostess canuot leave her place while receiving, she generally asks two or three well known society people to take this duty off her hands, for she wishes all her young people to enjoy themselves and does not like to see wall flowers at her ball. After dancing with a lady and walking about tbe room with her a few times, a gentleman is at perfect liberty to take the young lady back to her chaperon and plead another engage* ment. ,.

It is not hecessafy to take leave of your hostess at a ball. All that she requires of you is to bow to her on entering and to make yourself as agreeable and happy as po®ible.

Young men are not always as polite as they should be at balls. They ought, if well bred, to look about and we if any lady has left unattended to supper, to ask if they go for refreshments, to lead a lady to a it, etc. It is not an impertinence for a young man thus to speak to a lady older than himself, even if he has not been introduced the roof is sufficient introduction for any such purpose.

The first persons asked to dance by young gentlemen should be the daughters of the house. To them and their immediate relatives a^fl friends must the first attentions .be paid. «4

It is proper for intimate friends to ask for invitations for other friends to a ball, particularly for young gentlemen who are dancing men. More jsradefiCSBhooM be exercised in behalf of ladies, bat the bostess always baa the privilege of saying that her list is full, if she does not wish to invite her friends' friends. No offense should be taken, if the refusal be politely given.

Mrs. Sherwood, whose "Manners and Social Usages" is authority for the foregoing, also says in relation to public balls that titers AnnM be managers, ushers, stewards and, it possible, a committee of ladies to receive. It is much more conducive to tbe elegance of & ball

A Remarkable Letter.

The following letter from Mr. W. A. Thomosn, of Columbus, Wis., is peculiarly interesting: "My wife," says he, "has been treated for her head, stomach and nervous prostration by three doctors in New York, two in Chicago, one in Philadelphia, one in Cincinnati, and at the large institute in Buffalo for sixteen months. They all failed. But one bottle of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine helped her wonderfully."
