DEAR GAZETTE:— . .
Only the evening before this long storm
set in we made ready for a visit by night to
the furnace. We were a green looking pro-
cession as we stepped out into the bright
moonlight, our heads covered by hats bor-
rowed from the boys of the house and our
skirts well in hand, for the road is not only
dusty, but the dust is treacherous of depth.
The heavy ore wagons and charcoal carts
which are to be met at any hour of the day
out the roads badly, so we get good footing
only now and then for a few steps. To—
night neither cart or wagon disputes our
passage yet one needs to step lightly in view
of the possibilities under foot. A walk of
half a mile will bring us to the furnace. As
we rise the hill that hides it-,bright flames are
bursting from the huge chimney and' opr
steps quicken with- anticipation. We file In
at the wide doorway, pass between the
charging carts and stand mute before the
great glowing fire. It is so intensely dark
elsewhere we cannot see a yard away till our
eyes have become accustomed to the black-
ness. As we peer about we see here and
there a form with a grim black face, from
which great monstrous eyes look out at us
with a look seeming anything but human.
Stand aside! a charging cart is rumbling
down upon us. On it comes to the mouth of
the furnace, is turned around, the sheet-iron
back is loosed and flies open as the cart is
tilted and out goes thirty bushels of char-
coal plunging down into the pit. A second
cart disposed in the same way meets the up-
coming sparks of the first, cracking and
snapping as they rush out in glittering show-
ers, while flames leap out in many forked.
tongues with hiss and rear. And such colors!
purple and orange, green and blue, white and
red, ever shifting and varying in form and
form and color, making a kalaidescope of
awful beauty. We stand spell-bound at the
sight, and look at each other with long-drawn
breaths. J ust around upon the other side we
see a door that looks like the oven doors we
used to see in the brick ovens of long ago
dwelling houses, slightly ajar. We ask what
that is for? and are answered “ the oven,"
which seems to be ambiguous, but a long
iron rod is reached out to draw the door
open, we forget our question is not answered
and gaze wonderingly at the “ pipes," shaped
like an ox how, new red hot. It is all fire,
fire, fire, bright. dazzling, awful fire.
Leaving this floor we go out, down .10 the
pouring off or casting room. by the roadway
in preference to the long, ricketydooking
stairway, that our friends assure us are “hor-
ribly dirty." The “ molds ” are already set
and look like the blocks and streets of some
miniature city. The light from the fire here
below throws a ghastly glare over us till we
look like corpses stalking around from out
our graves. We peer into each other’s faces
and jest as we hold up our hands to see do
they too partake of the sulphurous glare of
our faces. Sure enough, they do.
Lying upon the ground at our left, on the
side opposite rom the molds, lie great cakes
of "Cinders” or “dress” that has been
drawn in long sheets from the stream as it
flowed out of the furnace, by long iron rods
with hooked ends. Some are nearly cold,
others are cooling with a brisk. crackling
sound. We touch them gingerly in dread of
a burn as we search for pretty specimens.
We are fortunate enough to unearth a large,
beautiful white cinder that looks in its snowy,
polished beauty as though it might have been
cleft from the glittering pinnacle of an ice-
berg so shapely are its little minarets. That
cinder will go to our city home as a trophy
from this weird night visit.
A wooden bench near the “ stack ” invites
rest, but the great heat to which we are un-
accustomed soon drives us away. Borrow-
ing a lantern we look in at the engine house.
Our little light flashes on the water as it drips
from—the great black wheel, then flows sul-
lenly on lost in the darkness. Oh! how dark,
while the wheel groans and sobs till we feel
as if some huge life hidden there must be
going out in its last awful agony. How un-
canny is this low, dark building among the
decaying weeds and tall bushes of the river
bank where hides this groaning monster of
power.
We re-enter the “ floor " just in time to
see the smeltcd iron pouring its glowing
stream from the furnace down the iron
troughs into the molds. 0! what abeauti-
ful sight is this—watching these forming
bands and bars of ficWing fire. Farther and
farther do we retreat,the heat is so fierce, yet
cannot take our gaze away. The iroa soon
begins to cool and blacken, reluctantly we
feel the beauty and grandeur of the sight
have passed away, and We retrace our steps
homeward, our minds filled with the strange,
uncanny scenes we have witnessed and their
strange beauty.
We opened our eyes the following morn-
ing on the softly falling rain. Our plans for
the day were therefore impossible, and we
signified our preference to drop down to the
city for a quiet Sabbath at home, leaving to
some future time to-duy’s intended pro-
gramme. OuI cAiIIched wish calls out the
suggestion, “Chm-l: -~, llcltt-r hitch into the
backboard and ctr/Zr the big umbrella—its just
been ilcd and ’11 run easier ’n quicker ’n the
carriage,” to which Charles dutifully re-
sponds, “all right, We’ll hitch into the big
umbrella.” We are just in time for the train,
and as we settle ourselves for the ride are
glad the rain makes dust 10-day impossible.
We watch the river as we go that we may get
the first possible glimpse of the Canaan Falls,
and for the hundredth time in our lives wish
we were president and superintendent com-
bined that we might level the unsightly bank
(used as a coal shed) that shuts suddenly off
the view just as we have caught a glimpse of
the foaming water. Think of it! a coal
yard backed square up against one of the
most picturesque waterfalls of New England.
Imagine, dear GAZETTE, this beautiful,grace-
ful waterfall, starting out from the still river
above to roll gradually over the natural dam
of rock that here spans the river’s width,
then breaking into numberless falls to go
plunging and 'foaming down amongst the
rocks and fissures in a series of graceful cas-
cades—the rocky sides holding pine, hem-
lock aud white birch in their fissures, whose
branches wave with every [falling shadow
over the hurrying water below—and a coal
yard lying comfortably against it as though
«mail «tillers;~ the most appropriate thing in the
world to "cu. m-, 4 M. H. T.

Alluremelits of Cheap Fluery.
Women shopping is an excelleiit proof that
alarge majority of articles purchhsed are
useless, even in the. keeping up of fashions.
Few women know the true value of a dollar;
somehow money and women slip. Fashions
are seductive and finery is alluring. Flor—
ence, millionaire, wears imported garments,
‘ and Bridget, chainbermaid, spends all her
wages on dress. One of women’s leading
propensities in matters of dress is super-
fluity of garments and toilet embollishers.
Whata number of gewgaws Mrs. Artisan
buys, and the Artisan family live up to ev-
ery cent earned—not so much as fifty cents

Mrs. Artisan’s shopping sweeps away every
chance her husband anticipates of being able
' to possess any surplus money.
merits of cheap finery have impoverished
more than one family. Women alone can
eradicate this evil. Let every woman re-

TEMPERANCE.
Contributodby Ladies of \Norwalk Temp. Union
Temperance and Dlvorce In
Maine. ‘
The virtues and graces go in a train. As
might expect, then, a State that holds high
ground upon the temperance question will
not be found lagging gin respect to other
sins that grow directly out of indulgence of
that which is vile. Accordingly we find
the Methodist Conference of Maine which
met two weeks ago at Portland putting forth
a striking report on both temperance and
divorce. The report held in sturdy Saxon
"that more than two-thirds of the murders
committed can be laid at rum’s door. Fifty
per cent of all the insanity comes from strong
drink. Seventy-five per cent of all criminals
become such while crazed with drink, and
ninety per cent of all the tramps and worth-
less youth of the land swarm from drunken
homes. It costs for the support of 63,000
churches, 80,000 ministers, all public schools
and colleges, all missions, all benevolent
work in the United States, and the support
of the National Government, not over $500,-
000,000 a year. 1t costs for 250,000 dram
shops. 400,000 liquor sellers, over 300,000
criminals, 800,000 paupers, 30,000 idiots,
nearly 70,000 drunkard’s funerals, and to
maintain the orphan asylums, reformatories,
etc., more than a billion a year.” The re-
port boldly asked, who is responsible for all
this waste of money and health and life?
And as fearlessly answered, “The church
of Christ is largely responsible; for the
Master has said to the church, ye are the
light of the world, ye are salt of the earth.”
The Conference also adopted the following
resolutions in reference to marriage and di-
vorce: "Resolved, that we believe it to be
unscriptural and unchristian to solemnize
any marriage where one or both of the con-
tracting parties have been divorced, except
for a breach of the seventh. commandment.
That our presiding elders be requested not to
employ as a supply any person who has been
divorced except for the cause specified by
our divine Master.
mittee to take action with our sister churches
in endeavoriug to effect such a reform in our
laws as shall bring them into comformity
with New Testament. teaching, being positive
that such reform is imperatively demanded
by the highest interests of humanity, pure
morals and our holy religion.
Hon. Henry Wilson years ago took really
the ground upon which the Methodist
Conference has placed itSelf in relation
to the responsibility Of the church. “In
my judgment," he said, “there is but one
way in which the great result of temperance
can be reached. The church must take up
the matter." When the Christian Church
really takes up this matter, a marvelous
work will be done. The church does not
yet realize how all her work is hindered by
intcmperance—how the traffic walks hand
in hand with Sabbath breaking; how con-
science is so benumbed by liquor that the
liquor drinkers care but little for the house
of God; how skepticism and foul infidelity
grow rank among young men in bar-room
and beer-room talk; how the poverty that
clothing of the Sabbath and church expen-
ses. Nor is the church yet awake to the
numbers in her communion who live upon
the profits of the liquor traffic. She must
investigate here and bring to light the bid-
den things of darkness. It was said but
lately with much truth, that the churches of
Cincinnati were supported 'by the liquor
trafilc,—hullt on rum and run by whiskev
and beer! To sustain the churches in this
way is a greater crime than to put the price
of a dog into the treasury, a thing forbidden
in the old law. Each church needs as truly
to look after this temperance work as after
the missionary cause. For a specific good
or evil special means are required. A lecture
or talk on missions from time to time is a
good thing, but the mission circles to educate
the children, concerts for prayer. committees
to give information, collect money, etc., are
required to effect much. . So there must be
organization and persistent work in the
temperance cause, And the church must
lead in this matter. Cannon Farrar well
says : “If Buddhism has succeeded in mak-
ing China a sober nation; if Islamism has
succeeded in making Mahommedan lands
temperate, surely the church of God should
blush that she has not done so much."
The Burlington Hawkeye mingles wit and
wisdom, and inquires: “Does it after all pay
to be honest ?” A disappointed man writes:
No, my son, not if you’r honest for pay, it
doesn’t. N 01; if you are honest merely be-
cause you think it will pay; not if you are
honest merely because you are afraid to be
arogue; indeed, my dear boy, it does not
pay to be honest that way. If you can’t be
honest because you hate a lie and scorn a
mean action from principle, be a rascal that’s
what you are intended for, and you’ll prob-
ably succeed at it. But you cannot make
any body believe in honesty that is bought
and sold like merchandise.
Wine and Drunkcnncss.
To say that the native wine of a vine-
gQOwing country is not promotive of intem-
perance, is to say that the Bible talks non-
sense when it tells of Noah’s being stupidly
drunk on wine from his own vineyard. Even
if men were to deny the Bible story about.
Noah’s wine, I could testify that l have seen
men drunk on native wine, both in Europe
and America, and that I know so lunch of
the danger of wine-drinking as leading to in-
tcmperance that I am afraid to drink wine or
beer, at home or abroad,lest I should become
a drunkard myself, apart from any question
of my example before others who are weaker
than I am—If there are such—Rec. E. Clay

French Marriage Etiquette.
Parisian etiquette makes the marriage cere-
monial differ in many details from that prac-
ticed in America. There the bridegroom calls
for the bride and her friends, and takes them
to the church, just as he does on the occasion
of the civil ceremony at the Maire. The
bride takes the place of honor in the first
carriage, her mother sitting on the left. Her
father and the chief witness sit opposite
them. The bridegroom’s mother takes the
right hand place in the second carriage, the
bridegroom sitting on the left. His father
and the chief witness for his side of the con-
tract sit opposite. The bride’s father leads
her to the altar, the bridegroom following
with his mother on his arm. When comes
the bride’s mother, leaning on the arm of the
bridegroom’s father, followed by four cou-
ples, consisting of the bridegroo’m‘s two wit-
ness, each with a lady of the bride’s family,
and the bride‘s two witnesses, with two It"
dies of thc bridegrdom’s family. Then they
arrive at the altar,a fresh grouping takes
place, the bride’s family and witnesses scat-
ter themselves on her left, and those of the
bridegroom on her right. Before uttering
the “ oui,” which takes the place of “I will.”
both bride and bridegroom turn toward their
relatives, as if to ask their consent.
Christianity and Skepticism.
Philosophy has sometimes forgotten God ;
a great people never did. The skepticism
of the eighteenth century could not uproot
Christianity, because it lived in the hearts
of the millions. Do you think that infidel-
ity is spreading? Christianity never lived
in the hearts of so many millions as at this
moment. The forms under which it is pro-
fessed may decay, for they, like all that is
the work of man’s hands, are subject to the
changes and chances of mortal being, but
the spirit of truth is incorruptible; it may
be developed, illustrated and applied; it can
never die; it can never decline. No truth
can perish. No truth can pass away. The
flame is undying, though generations disap-
pear. Whenever moral trutb has started
into being humanity claims and guards ;the
bequest. Each generation gather together
the imperishable children of the past and in-
creases them by the ncw sons of the light,
alike,radiant with immortality.

“Imperial Palace Dining Cars."
“ The Chicago & North-Western Railway
now has on its line between Chicago and
Council Blufif an institution which has be-
come very popular in the West of late years,
namely, dining cars, not like those of the
Pullman Company, in which the meals are
served d la eerie, and you pay for what you
order, but cars in which a full meal is served
at a fixed price, (which fixed price, by the
way, in all of tlIesO cars, so far as we know
is seventy-five cents). That is, these travel-
ling hotels are conducted on the ‘American
plan,’ and not on the ‘Europeau plan,‘ like
the Pullman hotel cars, which are properly
restaurant cars. ,
“ Experienced travelers, and we may add
experienced diners,usunlly prefer restaurants
to any hotel regular meal, or ‘tabla d’ Izéte‘ ;
and as soon as people have acquired this'
taste (and to all but a few natives of cities
in this country it is an acquired taste). they
are very impatient if it is not gratified; such
impatience being doubtless in due part to
not getting what they really do prefer
but also in part, we are inclined to believe,
to a desire to show their superior taste-it
being experienced diners as we have said,
that usually prefer the restaurant to the ho-
tel table. However that may be, there can
be no doubt that an immense majority of
those who travel, and even of those who can
afford to pay seventy-five cents for a meal
(which is but a fraction of the number who
travel), much prefer to have a regular meal
for their money. The fact is not one Amer-
ican in a hundred knows how to eat at a res-
taurant. The average family traveling can-
not get what it would call a ‘square meal’ at
a restaurant, either in hotel or car without
paying seventy-five cents apiece for it. They
do not like to dine off one or two dishes, and
want tea or coffee, vegetables, and something
for dessert, and they can’t manage it. They
like better to have their dinner set before
them, pay a fixed price, and eat a little of
everything. Your Parisian (or New York)
gourmand may say this is barbarous; but,
(saving his presence), and to say, in matters
of eating, we are a nation of barbarians; it is
his and his fellows’ mission to reform us in
this particular; to teach us to cook and to
eat. But this reform is as yet hardly begun.
“The Chicago SfNorth-Wcstern has issued
a somewhat elaborate bill of fare of the meals
served in its dining cars, interspersed with
sundry rcccipes for some of the dishes, and
foot-notes describing a few of the unrivaled
attractions of the great Chicago 3: North-
Western Railway.
is '* v ’ R s:
“ By the way, they call these dining cars
‘ imperial palace dining cars.’ Isn't this too
much of a compliment to the effete despot-
isms of Europe? Shall we be no better fed
than the subjects of Kaiser Wilhelm and the
Czar. Let us not even have our thoughts
turn to the sauerkraut and black bread of
the former, or the cabbage soup and potato
whisky cf the latter. These are true REPUB-
LIOAN dining curs, wherein the food shall be
modeled after that served in the restaurants
of Paris and Marseilles, in the good French
republic, which, we hope, may long thrive
and prosper and send us cooks and teachers
of cooks until we learu.better than to spoil
the good things which ‘which we have by
bad cooking and serving—and eating.
“The bill of fare at hand is not given as
that of any particular day or occasion, and
therefore holds itself out to be a sample of
the every day bill of fare. If it is, then we,
fear the Chicago & North-Western will nev-
er pay any dividends from its profits on the
meals eaten in its ‘imperial palace cars.’
For breakfast, about everything that is usual-
ly eaten at breakfast, besides apples, pears,
peaches, and plums. Let us have, say. Lake
Michigan white fish (‘delicatest of fish that
swim,’ says Howells, in ‘Our Wedding Jour-
ney,’ and Howells, is not far from the truth
there); and if we don’t eat too much of that
and breakfast late, and are very hungry, a
tenderloin steak with mushrooms will give
us nerve to fight the train peddler all day,
with the chances against him, (unless he too
has one of those ‘imperial breakfasts ’).
Sliced tomatoes, if you please, with one small
sliced cucumber to every slice of tomato.
Cool in hot weather. Eggs. Well not this
hot weather; and besides we couldn’t out
half our meat if we had eggs. Coffee. We
have left nine-tenths of the breakfast; hilt to
breakfast well you must taste but few dishes.
“But we will do best to breakfast light
and save our. appetites for dinner. Turtle
soup and a put-(5e of fowl. If these are made
by the recipes (which are printed in the bill),
we will travel in order to dine. Shad; so
it must have been last spring. Whitefish, too
shad and Whitefish! What ‘imperial’ mon-
arch ever had shad and Whitefish or shad or
Whitefish in his imperial palace, not to say
his imperial palace dining car? Good repub-
lican fish both, not known to the effete des-
potisms of Europe; and if introduced there,
as they talk-of doing, they will cease to be
dcspotisms and cease to be cffete. Southdown
mutton, capons, pigeons. sweet-breads—-but
we shall have to put in the whole dinner bill
to‘justice,and at this rate we shall have room
for nothing else. Countless vegetables, which
the average American likes. He would rel-
ish his dinner better if he took only one, or
at most two; but he doesn’t know it, and it
is best to humor him Long, long list'ofpas—
try and dessert. an’l,but the American likes
it, and the American Women and children
find it ‘perfectly splendid,’ and we must give
them what they want; else what peace shall
we have in trawling (or elsewhere)? But
for your humble Servant, whose desires are
so modest, no pie, no pudding, no cake, no
nuts, but a peach, a little cream, half a' his-
cuit (which you call a cracker), abit of cheese
(not American cheese, he hopes,but Edam,or
Neufchatel, or, better a little soft Brie),and a
little cup of hoticolfec and then he can say he
has dined, whether‘or no he orders anything
from the last page headed ‘Wine List.’
“ Bkt what i Supper! Do you really, ex-
pect me to take supper after that dinner?
It would be an insult to the dinner, and I
hope I know how to pay proper respect to a
good one when I get it. But here isthe bill.
Breakfast all over again, with some other
things. It now your humble servant was a
hunter, say, ravenously hungry, at least three
times a day, what a chance this would be for
himl Can’t a way be contrived for uniting
vigorous out-door exercise and traveling with
imperial dining cars at the same time? Find
one. We know a man suffering from long-
continued sedentary employment and with a
settled prejudice against bad dinners. Res-
cue him 1”
“Ancient and Modern Luxury.”
Some startling instances of extravagance
and prodigality are given by the writer of
an article on “Ancient and Modern Luxury,"
which appears in the new Quarterly. From
the days when Lucullus spent £1,400 on a
supper, and Caligula swallowed jewels to
modern times, when a certain Chinese lady
is said to have rcntcd an island for the special
supply of birds’ nests for soup, the story is
the same. Alcibiades gave £250 for a dog;
and Augustus states, as a title to gratitude,
that he had exhibited 8,000 gladiators and
given 3,500 beasts to be killed. Loillia Pau-
lina wore a set of jewels valued at £400,000,
and Nero’s diadem cost 5,200 gold crowns.
A chauteau for Mme. de Montespan was only
erected for 2,861,728 livrcs. The Due de la
Torres gave 25,000 crowns for a horse. The
household expenses of Louis XVI were
enormous; his sisters were said to have
burned candles costing 215,068 livrcs in a
year. The outfit for an eight days‘ visit to
the. compiegne court of Napoleon III, was
12,000 francs. In England the writer thinks
thereis a growing sense of moderation. It
is true that £3,000 may be spent on flowers
for a dinner, but still their exhibition grati-
fies taste. The conclusion at which the wri-
ter arrives is that if the. fancy and sense of
beauty are never to be advanced the higher
faculties will become torpid.—Pall Mall Ga-
zette.

Mr. Muybridge, the eminent San Francisco
photographer, has exhibited his photogaphic
marvels to Prof. Maurey, in Paris. He is
now able to take a photograph in the hut:-
dredth part of a second. During a clOwn’s
leap he obtained six photographs, showing
different positions. By means of an im-
proved zoetrope, he projects such figures on
a screen, thus exhibiting the motions of a
clown in his somersaults, a horse at gallop, a
bare coursing. and even birds at flight, etc.
—-the pictures of the various positions, as
they pass in rapid succession across the
screen, uniting to form the moving figures-
The value of the new underground tele-
graph system of Germany was strikingly de-
monstrated during a late disastrous gale.
While business in England and on the Con-
tinent was largely suspended in consequence
of interruptions in the telegraph service by
‘prostratcd wires, German cities were able to
communicate with each other as usual.
In experiments with the electric light in
night military operations, made at Chatham,
England, bodies of men were readily discov-
cred at a distance Of more than one thousand
yards.
C(impressed gunpowder, cut in {short
lengths to fit the drill-holes, is found by ex-
periment to have many advantages. among
which is a saving of forty per cent. in
powder.
Several lines of electric railway are pro-
posed by Siemens and Halskc, the Berlin
electricians. They are about to investigate
the problem of electric traction in the St.
Gothard tunnel.
Two Liepsic chemists have patented a pro-
cess for obtaining liquid sugar which does not
crystallize. This result is said to be effected
by adding to a purified sugar solution a
small quantity of crystalized citric acid,
which combines with the sugar and deprives
it of its tendency to crystallize.
Various cases of poisoning from the use of
perfumes have been reported. In one in-
stance some heliotrope perfume applied to
the face of a little girl produced an erysipe-
las which lasted for some time. It was found
on investigation that the scent was not made
with the odoriferous principles of plants,
but with some of the product-3,01? coal tar.
Prof. James Law declares that small pox
is so common in the poultry of Hindostan
and parts of Europe as to constitute a verit-
able plague. ’
“It is a marvellous circumstance,” says
Dr. Bancroft, “that the black man of Aus-
tralia should have dropped upon the same
narcotic principle (nicotine) as the 'red man
of America.” Pituri is a plant of Central
Australia not far removed from the tobacco
plant. The leaves of the plant are chewed
by the aborigines who trade with it exten-
sively. Chemical analysis shows that the
alkaloid in which the peculiar poisonous
properties depend is nicotine, the same sub-
stance to which tobacco owes its effects.
Pituri is eagerly sought by the native Aus-
tralians, not for the purpose of exciting their
courage or combativeness, but to produce a
dreamy voluptuous sensation, such as is ex-
perienced by the opium eater. It is often
taken by the natives on their long marches
to deaden the cravings of hunger and to sup-
port them under excessive fatigue.
Signor Lorin. of Milan, has offered twenty
thousand francs to the municipal authorities
for the purpose of maintaining a mortuary
and postmortem room wherein the bodies
of all persons dying of unexplained causes
shall undergo rigid examination before being
cremated. .
Thomas and Lugel recently exhibited an
apparatus for measuring the rapidity of the
growth of a plant. The plant itself is con-
nected with an index which advances visibly
and constantly, exhibiting the growth on a
scale fifty times magnified. When the index
is connected with an electric hammer, the
current of which is interrupted as the index
passes over the divisions of the circle, the
growth of the plant becomes not only visible
but also audible to the car. In this way it
is now possible, literally, to “hear the grass

M. Plante has succeded in engraving on
glass by means of electricity. The process
is as follows : The glass is laid in a horizon-
tal position, and covered with a concentrated
solution of nitrate of potash, the liquid be-
ing retained by a shallow vessel in which the
glass is placed. A platinum wire is dipped
in a horizontal position in the solution along
the edges of the glass. The wire is attached
to one of the poles of a secondary battery of
fifty to sixty elements. The lines are traced
by hand with the point of an insulated plati-
num wire, connected with the ether pole of
the battery. The parts of the glass covered
with the alkaline solution become engraved
when touched with the end of the platinum
wire, however rapidly this is moved, the
thickness of the lines varying with the thick-
ness of the wire. The current from either
pole may be used in the writing wire.
ARE CEMETERIES UNHBAL'I’IIY.—The de-
composition of bodies in the earth is a real
organic combination ; its products are quite
well known. The principal and most abund-
ant of them is carbonic acid, a substance that
is generated by the slow combustion of the
carbon contained in all organic matter, veg-
etable, or animal, whether it be a blade of
grass, a leaf, wood, manure, or a dead body.
It may be disengaged from the soil in cem-
eteries, and most hygienists have till now
considered it one of the principal causes Of
their insalubrity. This is a mistake. We
have on a recent special occasion made an
approximate calculation of the maximum
quantity of carbonic acid that can be pro-
duced in the cemeteries of Paris. The re-
sults of these calculations, which are based
upon numerous weighings of corpses made
in severaljhospitals and on the most authen-
tic data of the chemical composition of the
human body, show that this quantity is in-
finitely less considerable than has been sup-
posed. The total weight of bodies consigned
each year to the cemeteries in Paris is 3,-V
472,500 pounds. If all their carbon were
transformed (which is not the case) and
disengaged as carbonic acid gas, they would
furnish 3,142,500 pounds of that gas in five
years. Now, according to the calculations
of M. Roussingaut, we may estimate the
quantity of carbonic acid produced in Paris
by the respiration of men and animals and
the different processes of combustion, at
45,000,000 pounds in twenty-four hours-
The combustion of illuminating gas alone in
Paris) 218,813,875 cubic metres) produced
last year a quantity of carbonic acid thirty-
five hundred times more considerabe than
all the dead buried in the cemeteries during
five years could give at the maximum rate
of exhaustion. The Grand Opera House
alone gives out every year thirteen times
more carbonic acid from, its gaslights than
could be disengaged from all the cemeteries
put together, even if all their carbon were
converted into gas—Popular Science Month-

The Bible “By Heart.”
We know a dear Christian woman, for
many years an invalid and great sniferer, to
whom many sleepless nights are appointed,
who many years ago “get by heart”;the
Bock of Psalms; and So she can say with
the Psalmist, “In the night his song shall be
with me;” “My soul shall be satisfied as
with marrow and fatness, and my month
shall praise theelwith joyful lips, when I re-
member thee upon my bed, and meditate on
thee in the night-watches ;” Mine eyes pre-
vent the night-watches, that Imight meditate
on thy word.” How would she spend her
dark vigils without :the midnight lamp?
