SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

/TOPICS OF PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE AND WIDESPREAD INTEREST.

A Pleasing Trick That Requires 8imple Apparatus. Which Knrnlnhen OpportunJtif« for Several Intcretitin^ and In•troctive Ohwrratlonii an Cauiplior.

Place on thy surface of the water, in a glass or a number of pieces of camphor of various .size*, together representing the form of some animnl, say a scorpion. After a little while the scorpion will begin to stir in the water you will see him more his claws as though trying to awira, •and curl his tail convulsively as if in pain. This amusing experiment is easy to perform 'anil costs practically nothing, for camphor is to be found in every household but in spite of

its

simplicity we may de

duce from it. us yon see. several interesting observations:

THE CAM S'HOIt 8COHPION.

First—Our scorpion floats on the water, but lies almost entirely below the surface. This proves to us that the specific gravity of camphor is nearly but not quite equal to that of water. As a matter of fact, if we regard that of water aa unity, that of camphor is .99.").

Second—The animal does not dissolve. Camphor is therefore iusoluble in water. If we iiad placcd it in spirit we should have found, on the contrary, that it speedfly dissolved.

Third—The different fragments of which our scorpion consists do not separate, but remain one against the other, as we originally placed them. This is because they are held together by lie force known as cohesion.

Fourth—The eccentric movements wo have mentioned depend on a well ascertained but mysterious property of camephor— namely, that when placed on the surface of water it moves spontaneously.

It is a well known fact that a morsel of camphor placed in a glass of water will, after a few moments, begin to move either with a sidelong or rotatory movement, such movement being due, according to gome authorities, to the escape of liberated vapors according to others, to a mysterious force inherent to the surface of liquids, and known as superficial tension.

Tito l.m'iruKt Dynamite Gun.

According to Pall Mall Budget, Messrs. Taunton, Delmard, Lane & Co., of Birmingham, are just finishing the largest dynamite gun which has yet been made.

The gun is to lie discharged by the expanslon of condensed air at a pressure of 5,000 pounds per square inch, the impulse of which is a safer propelling energy than the Ignition of any kind of powder, bccauso it jf,i does not operate so suddenly as to cause a danger of the premature explosion of the missile. The contract with Messrs. Taunton «fe Co. is for a flfteeu inch torpedo projector which will throw a charge of 600 pounds of dynamite a distance of three miles, but it is expected that this contract will be followed by orders for still larger weapons.

The barrel or pneumatic tube of the gun is of Whitworth forged steel, and weighs about, eleven tons. It is supported at the breech end on fixed trunnions fifteen inches in diameter, which are hollowed for the passage of lie compressed air. It is said that the noise of the discharge being small, the projectile might bo dropped into a fort -or on to a ship without giving the besieged any intimation of the quarter from which the attack came. The concussion when the dynamite exploded would in all probability bo violent enough to put a large garriin hors de combat, even if they were not s.vounded by debris, and truly aimedasin[gle shell would destroy an Ironclad.

StutUttcw ut tho Alitor Library. The last annual report of the trustees of Uhe Astor library, in Now York, shows that (during the year ISS9 only 5!8 readers called [for works dealing with agriculture and horticulture, as against 2,748 who called for works on architect on-, and 0,702 who irtesired to study painting, sculpture or larehieolngy. Of students who asked ad[tnisslon to the alcoves for the purpose of niore serious research there were 50 conjeerned with areliitcoliu'e, 40" with paintling, sculpture and archicology, and only with agriculture and horticulture. More than half the alcove readers were interestled in patents, 5,OK3 having applied for this [purpose, while, with a-great gap letweon, 'American history came next with 7SS stndents.

EUSCTntC BEL.

A specimen exhibited some years ago at |the Ixmdon Polytechnic was experimented an by Professor Faraday, who demonstrated the fact that the electricity of the aimal and tho common electricity are Identical. Numerous experiment* were (made, and tho circuit shock and even ijvnrks were obtained from the gym not a*. |ln fact the gymnotns is & natural electric i.ichine. The force of the shock given by the electric eel is* very great, for Faradaj put on rrcrml that a single discharge it the eel i« equal to fifteen Leydeo j*xs ttrgol highly as possible. Its power uw not even end there, tor having shocked jple to that extent it «n capable of ft [second and occasionally of a third shock of vioience.

Interesting Incidents in the Career

euch

Bhoda Ilroaehtoo, the Sovellit.

ftfiw Bhoda Broughton, the creator of

never to be forgotten people as Nancy, Joan and Gillian Latimer, comes of an old Cheshire family, and was born in a picturesque old house on the estate of her father's eldest brother, the then head of the Broughton family. Here, in almost complete desolation from the outer world, save for occasional connty balls, she spent her early years. Here too, perched tip on a ladder in her father's library, absorbed in the fiction of an earlier day, she gained that "experience of life" which her critics declared must have been of so extensive and varied a character when it appeared embodied in the pages of her earliest novel "Not Wisely, but Too WelL"

It appeared in the pages of the Dublin University Review and was followed in a year or two by "Cometh Up as a Flower," which was promptly accepted by Temple Bar, where also "Not Wisely, but Too Well" subsequently appeared after one or two incidents bad been toned down in deference to the feelings of the British public.

Both novels made a considerable stir by the freshness and unconventionality of their treatment of well worn themes but their appearance was hailed by an outpouring of invective from the press, which proved to be bat the commencement of what can onlj be termed a systematic journalistic persecution lasting over twenty years. For a time this hostile attitude of the professional critics did undoubtedly affect Miss Brougbton's rejP utation. But within the last few years the opposition has largely broken down, and she is now almost generally recognized as one of the best of lighter English novelists, a position which several distinguished French critics, and a good deal of more discriminating English opinion, had long ago assigned to her.

The hostility of the press was powerless to affect her popularity, for the public read her books, liked them and asked persistently for more. But in spite of all temptation to overwrite herself, Miss Broughton has remained one of the very few English novelists of the present day with an artistic conscience. Instead of turning out three novels In one year she has preferred to mature one novel in three, and has gained in so doing a distinction which more than compensates tor smaller pe-' cuniary receipts. In 1880 Miss Broughton moved with her sister to Oxford. Here she lias lived for the last ten years, finding time both to gather round her a pleasant circle of cultivated people and to produce "Belinda," "Dr. Cupid" and "Alas."

The Smallest Flowering Plant.

The smallest flowering plant, according I to London Tit-Bits, is wolfflamicroscopica, a native of India. It belongs to the duckweed family. It is almost microscopic in size, destitute of proper stem, leaves and roots, but having these organs merged in one, forming a frond. There is a prolongation of tho lower surface, the purpose of which seems to be to enable the plant to float upright in the water. The fronds multiply bysending out other fronds from a slit or cavity, and with such rapidity does this take place that» few days often suffice to produce from a few individuals enough similar ones to cover many square rods of pond surface with the minute green granules. Small as thesi plants are they bear flowers. Two are produced on a plant, each of them very simple, one of a single stamen and the other of a single pistil, both of which burst through the upper surface of the frond.

African Explorers.

It is told thut the first explorer who crossed Africa expended in so doing nearly ten years, while the last occupied barely a year. A list of explorers who have crossed Africa shows that from 1803 to 1811 the feat was accomplished by a Portuguese, Honorato de Costa in 1838 and '53, by Francesco Coimbra and Silva Porto in 1854 by Dr. Livingstone in 1865 by Gerhard Rohlfs in 1874 by Lieut. Cameron and Mr. Stanley then by Serpa Pinto and the Italians Mattenio and Massari next by Lieut. Wissman, from 1883 to 1884 and recently by the Scotch missionary Arnat, the Portuguese Capello aud Ivans, tho Swede Lieut. Gleerup, who occupied the least time, crossing from Stanley Falls to Bagamoyo in six months the Austrian Dr. Setiz Mr. Stanley for the second time, and finally Capt. Trivier, the French traveler.

"Trifles make perfection and perfection is no trifle." said Michael Angelo. "He jests at scars who never felt a wound," wrote Shakespeare. "Pain must wear itself out if not fuel'd by sin," occurs in Lucile. "This world is but the rugged road that leads to the bright abode of peace above," tells Longfellow.

It is Meredith who says, "Folly soon wears his shoes out. he dances so fast."

siuglo talent makes a very imperfect character," says Aleott.

Cock* ami "Witches.

In the fifteenth century it was popularly believed that cocks were intimately associated with witches, and they were somewhat credited with the power of laying ao cursed eggs, from which sprang winged serpents. In 1474, Bain, a cock waa publicly accused of having laid one of these dreadful eggs. He was tried, sentenced to death and, together with tho egg, was burned by the executioner in the market place amid a great concourse of people.

February's Flower.

February is speeded by the coming of the golden chaliced crocus. This flower is traditionally a token of cheerfulness. The glowing crocus has been sung since Virgil's time, and holds its place of honor today. It comes, as has been written, "be* fore the swallow dares." Light to thy path, bright creature! I would charm Thy being, if 1 coold. that it should be Ever as thou now dimmest, and flow on, Thos innocent and beautiful, to heaven.

Custom of Wearing Hat* ia Charchefc Numbered with stories told is the following When Fox, the first of Quakers, waa sitting in church, and the preacher said anything be did not like, he moved solemnly, put on his hat and kept it on until the disagreeable remarks concluded. Btta arose the Quaker custom of wearing hats In church.

The

Ortffta of T»4dy.

Toddy Is the name given in the Bast Indies to the fermented Juice of various palms from which amuck is distilled. The name was afterward adopted in Britain for a mixture of whisky, sugar and water, which forms the national drink of Scotland ana.1 Ireland.

INSTRUCTIVE AND AMUSING READING FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. 'flriHUKyB 4 Short Chapter on Elephants—How

Ttuiic Animals In India Take a Bath, turnd How They Are Fed Like Little Babies by Their Attendants.

If there is one thing which an"elephant enjoys above ail things else it is his bath. The splashings and gurglings and sport of the great elephants at their morning bath in the frog pond on Boston Common is oue of the favorite sights of Boston children when the big circuses come to town.

A writer for Little Men and Women tells how in India elephants are used to draw the great guns of the heavy batteries. They take their baths in the barracks, at the troughs where they drink, and they behave much better abont it than many children. ,« »-,

THK ELEPHANTS AT THBIIt BATH.

They cannot duck themselves all over as the traveled elephants do on Boston Common. Instead, they have to lie down and be patient while they are washed by their attendants. They turn themselves about very promptly to suit their convenience. The attendant rubs the hide with apiece of stone instead of a sponge, and if the stone slips out of his hand the elephant politely picks it up with his trunk and hands it back. AJter they have been well scrubbed the elephants give themselves a shower bath, using their trunks to dash the water upon themselves, and they can hit any part of their bodies with ease.

After the bath they form into a row, side by side, ready for breakfast. Each elephant has five bundles of straw at this meal, and each bundle has two pounds of rice in it. These bundles are laid down before the elephants. But they are not permitted to help themselves, because they would spill and scatter the rice. At the word "Feed!" each elephant raises its trunk. The attendant then lifts a bundle and lays it in the elephant's mouth. So the great elephants are fed like liitie babies by the soldier nurses. Their supper is of sugar cane and coarse grass.

A Biff Steed with a Small Name.

An English author tells the following:* When my cousin Annie went out to India on the very day she was 14 she promised to write and tell me all about her occupations and pleasures in the new land—new, at least, to her, for she left it as a baby. Her description of the steed she was about to ride would, I think, amuse you, so here is a bit out of her letters:

Did I tell you that my new horse, Exile, turned out too skittish for me to ride, so father sold it, and has since bought an elephant, which, by way of contrast, we call Fairy. It is a very docile creature, eats out of your hand, and bows and'salaams with a kind of polite grunt at the same time.

Before we bought the animal it\had been very ill and dosed with medicine, of which at last it got so tired that it broke away from its keepers when they were asleep, and demolished almost a whole neem tree —a thing so bitter in flavor as to be like quinine, and no animal ever eats it. Fairy got quite well from that hour, however. Yesterday father offered him a branch of neem, but he only looked at it complacently, and then used it as a fan, just as if he would say, "No, thank you, I only take rhubarb and magnesia when I am really ill."

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

interesting Facta About the Mysterious Organisms Called Bacteria.

We hear much nowadays in a general way about bacteria. As many of our readers will doubtless welcome more clear and definite information In regard to these minute but powerful organisms, the following is quoted from Popular Science News:

Bacteria are not insects or "bugs," but plants. They have, however, the power of spontaneous. motion. like other living things they take in matter and potential energy, and give off matter and manifest energy.

In common with all vegetables not possessing chlorophyll they require organic food for the maintenance of life, but they can subsist upon food that contains no proteid, being able to tain nitrogen and sulphur from inorganic sources, and with arboii from organic sources aud with irater they build up proteid material. They chare respiration in common with all living things, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide. Certain bacteria, however, do not require free oxygen, being able to unlock it from the substances in which they exist and certain chemical processes attributable to them evidently depend upon this power of unlocking oxygen from stable compounds. Bacteria are very widely distributed, being present in the atmosphere in vast nVimbers, and alsq existing in earth and water. They cover the surface of our bodies and line our entire alimentary canals fortunately, however, they are chiefly of the benign variety, which will not thrive in living tissues— hence called non-pathogenic.

These micro organisms are among the smallest objects which the microscope reveals. A very common form "of bacteria is that known as the bacterium termo, which is an elongated rodlike cell about 1-25,000 of an inch in breadth and less than twice its breadth in length. It is non-patho-genic, easily killed by antiseptics, and is always found in putrefying or septic fluids hence it is sometimes called the carrion or septic fungus.

Cold (82 degs. Fahr.) suspends the animation of bacteria, but does not kill them —many withstand a much lower temperature. Boiling water kills many bacteria, but those that are in the condition of spores can withstand a much higher temperature, or can withstand the temperature of 212 degs. Fahr. for a much longer time than can the mature bacterium. In general terms extremes of heat have a more destructive action to bacteria than extremes of cold. Heat without moisture does not necessarily destroy the lives of all bacteria, but renders some simply inactive.

Hypnotism and Magnetism.

The experiments of Dr. Charcot in Paris have been cited t6 prove the magnet's mesmemc value. This celebrated specialist did obtain some striking results with a sensitive hypnotic subject under the influence of a magnet. But, according to The American Analyst, Dr. Charcot not long after repeated the same experiments with the same subject, using, however, a dummy magnet made of painted wood instead of thd real one he had used before. He obtained the same hypnotic results, showing very clearly and positively that magnetism ha$"nothing to do with the case."

lllone Thing and Another. !och's experiments show that sunlight cly kills all bacteria growing upon a ire medium, and the tubercle bacilli jm a {eifr minutes to one hour," af_aGerma£^ scientist. ... [e, thin and nervous people should care that the sleeping room is well Slated at night,

I SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

A Pleasant Manner a Characteristic oi the Times.

Tho manners of men and women of the present day toward their servants are invariably marked by consideration and kindness, and by atone of great civility, a tacit acknowledgment of how much the comfort of master and mistress depends upon their servants, and it is now considered the worst possible taste to speak roughly, haughtily, or even crossly to a servant, whether man-servant or maidservant.

Sweetness of manner has a fascination for and influence over all, but.there is the sweetness of manner which has for its groundwork sincerity itself, aud is entirely genuine and there is the sweetness of manner which is only a surface manner, and it requires a knowledge—we might say an intimate knowledge—of an individual to distinguish the one from the other. It is invidipus to dwell upon the value of the former, or to set forth what it is as an example, an influence and a charm, or to trace it to its source but "we may say of the latter just this: Take the society phrase "How d'y do," and go and stand for a few minutes beside one of the leading fashionable hostesses of the day when she is receiving a crowd of guests, and listen to the tones in which she addresses this phrase to each one.

An uninitiated listener on hearing "how d'y do" in a caressing and all interested tone, thinks that the one longed for and waited for has come at last this must be the bosom friend, the sister soul of the hostess but when he hears the phrase repotted with the same charming emphasis some twenty times he begins to donbt the sincerity of the accents addressed to all alike, and to Range the sweetness In which bt was so firm a believer. Still, a pretty manner Is a characteristic of the times, and whether it spring* from love of others or love* of self, it carries all, before it—lot the time being, at least.

Those who travel much, who make use of public conveya&ces, trains, omnibuses, trams and cah^ who frequent places of public resort, theatres, concert rooms, lecture halls, etc., find wbat a broad principle of give and take prevails among all classes, and how much kindly civility la shown by sex to sex and by one sex to another, and when an exception arises, as exceptions will do, well, it is "a thing make a note of," and if ladles occasionally show themselves exacting, overbearing and put themselves too much on an equality with men they cannot complain if tbef have to accept the consequences. But how often in a theatre will a kindly hand be stretched out to help a lady on with her cloak, or in a railway carriage or omnibas a seat be given up to her by an occupant, who will find himself another, or a programme be tatt at a concert, and so on, civility being the keynote of tbe piece.
