Nerwalk Gazette. . Tuesday, September 5, 1882K- An Art and Industrial Exhibition in the Capitol at Washington. Under the auspices of the Society of the Anny of the Cumberland, for the benefit of the Garfield Monument Fund. The Board of Directors, composed of some of the most prominent names in public life, including members of the Supreme Court, Senators, Members of _Congress, Armyand Navy ofiicers of high rank, and the first cit- iZens of Washington, send the following to the press: | A National Bazaar, Art, and Industrial Exposition will be held in the rotunda and adjacant halls of the National Capitol ati Washington, D. 0., November 25t h to De- cember 3d, (inclusive), 1882, as authorized by joint resolution of the Senate nnd House of Representatives, August 7, 1882. The ob- ?“ of this undertaking is to raise funds with which to erect a statue in this city to the memory of General James A. Garfield, late President of the United States, which work is in the hands of a committee of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, who have alceadgcollccted for this purpose some twenty thousand dollars, and expect, with the results of the exposition, to have a suf- ficient sum with which to erect a work be- fitting the great name it is proposed to com- memorate. The art exhibition will be under the direc- tion of the leading artist resident in Wash- ington. It is hoped that artists throughout the entire country, professional and amateurs will aid the work by contributing some one work—as a gift to the fund—to bc'sold for its benefit, and be willing to exhibit others, under such rules and regulations as may be determined by the Board of Direction. All persons desiring to contribute in any way to this great work are cordially invited to do so, and to proceed in such manner as their judg- ment may indicate. Contributions from the ladies in the way of needle and fancy work are especially in- vited and anticipated as one of the more prominent feature of the exposition. To manufacturers this exhibition offers opportunities second only to the Centennial Exposition. Occurring on lhecve of the assembling of Congress, and at the season of the year, when all the foreign represen- tatives are at the legalions, every exhibit will have the attention, not only of our—own representatives, but of the representatives of all the clyilized nations, as well as the representatives of the Press, who will gladly malt full mention of. all worthy exhibits; this, with the fact that each donation or , exhibit contributes so much to a work that must commend itself to every patriotic citizen. All exhibits will bear the name of artist, manufacturer, etc, and will remain in place until the close of the exposition. Arrangements for transportation of exhibits are being made, and details will be given on application to the Board of Direction, rooms 90 to 96, Ebbitt House, Washington, D. D. —-———=-: The Courtesies of Travel. . It is common ll.) say, that in losing the stage-coach, we have lost that comfortable sociability which once made travel so great a charm. We have lost humane instinct which, in the olden times, made all travelers considerate of one another. Travel—travail; the derivialion of the word is suggestive. It was work, and hard work, in the old days and out of the common strain and the cem- mon hardships came a co-operative and fraternal spirit which transformed its hard- ships into pleasurable memories. But the Pullman car is a refrigerator. In transport- ing fruit from California, the first condition is that there shall be coldness, and then- ' isolation. The nectarines must not touch each other. In like manner, as we multiply the luxuries of travel, we multiply barriers between the travelers. It is not merely that there are parlor-cars: it is that in these, and in the ordinary American railway carriage, also, the first consideration comes more and more, to be personal comfort, and not mutual consideration. The grudging answer, the reluctance to impart information, the almost brutal struggle for the best which increas- inglyldisregards weakness and age and woman—these are things which one sees now more frequently and unpleasantly than of old. We talk of the ga'rrulous and inter- rogalive American. But where is he? Vanished as utterly as thejMassasoit Indians. An English gentleman, who lately traversed the continent, said that he never traveled in a country in which his fellow-travelers were so reserved. It is. a mistake, if it is no more. There is ‘no one whose horizon may not be widened if he will only avail himself of the wholesome education of the fellowships of travel. It is easy to be too much ;upon one’s guard. All travelers are not swindlers, and courtesy is not necessarily familiarity. As it is, one is reminded of that countryman of ours who, having crossed the Atlantic with a room- mlttc who, from'the beginning to the end of the voyage, had not addressed to him one word, parted from him, saying airly: “Well, good-by! You will now proceed. I sup- pose, to your home at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum l”—-Centurg/. Borrowing Trouble. Ionceheard a story of the great railroad king, Vanderbilt, It is so long ago that I cannot give it exactly as I heard it, but it wuiolhcthing in this wise: ,‘ Mr. Vanderbilt was one day eonversing ' ‘with'a friend, who was not, as the world goes, wealthy, but had some means whereby he could live comfortably. Says the friend to Mr.‘lV.: “You must. be a very happy man?” . . , _ “Why so ?” inquired Mr. Vanderbilt. “Because," continued the friend,"‘you are very wealthy. You have everything that money can buy. You have railroads, fine houses, fine carriages and the best of horses. ‘ Your house is grandly furnished, you have ‘ ', everything to eat and wear that you can ‘ pcisibly desire, your health is good, you can go. and come when you pleas —” . , . - “Step, stop!” cried Mr. Vanderbilt, fat you only just think so, you are just as rich ' ..‘sir.” ‘ ’ a . ,“How so 'r" says the friend in surprise.- “My dear sir,” continued Mr. Vanderbilt, "10% me‘ ask you a few questions and I will . convince yen. First, you say I own rail- .. roads. True; but can Iride on more than . one at a time, and have not you the same privilege F I own finelhouses, but can I live in more than one at a time, and do you not do the name? I have fine carriages and valuable horses but is not one carriage at a time all that I can occupy, and do not you do as much? , I have the choicest viandsl at my tables, but if I eat more than is good for me will I not suffer, and have you not sufil-_ cient to eat '1’ and so on to the end. ‘ So you see, my friend, that I am no richer than you after all. You are just as wealthy as I, if you will only think so.” ————-_-.-.-_-=:=-_—.‘ Third part—lbs spring up sometimes in almost unaccountable way . Washington Irving gives the origin of one of the earliest: “From this fatal schism in tobacco pipes we may date the rise of parties in the Nieuw Nedcr- ' lands. The, rich and self-important burghers who had made their fortunes and could af- ford to be lazy adhered to the ancient fashion and formed a kind of aristocracy known as the long pipes ; while the lower order, adopt- ing the reform of William Kieft asmore con- venient in their handicraft cmployments, were ' branded with the plebeian name of short pipes. A third party sprang up, head- - ed bythe descendants of Robert Chewit, the companion of the great Hudson. These dis. carded pipes altogether and took to chewing tobacco; hence they were called quids, an up pellation since given to those politieial mon- grels which sometimes spring up between two great parties, as a mule is produced be- tween a horse and an ass." .4 The Faithful Wives of Welnsberg. Weiusbcrg is in the northwestern part of Wurtembcrg, about thirty miles from Stutt- gart. It is early mentioned as a capital city of the bishoprie of Wurzburg, and later we read that in the year 814 Emperor Louis I. established the Freiherrshaft of Welnsberg. About 1129, Freiherr Wolfram von Weins- berg transferred the castle to the Rhenish Palgravine. Gottfried of Calcd. The latter gave it as a marriage gift with his daughter Uta to Duke Welf VI., who regarded it as a part of the allodial estate of his wlfc, and re- fused to deliver it to Konrad Ill. when this emperor claimed it as a rcversionary fee. An intense hatred existed between the Honor.- staufcns and Wells. It began in the time of the unfortunate Emperor Henry IV., and culminated when in 1079 Henry sent for Frederick of Hohenstaufen, and, in a solemn speech in which he acknowledged his loyal- ty, gave him his daughter Agnes in marriage, and tho Dukedom of Suabia as dowry. The death of Henry in 1139 brought new compli- cations and feuds, and Konrad welcomed any event that might make the Wolf feel his power. He accordingly appeared with his army before the castle, having in the mean time defeated the forces of Wolf at Esslingen as they were hastening to the help of the be- sieged Weinsberg. The attack upon the castle was begun. After a determined strug- gle, Welf fell, wounded, and the surrender seemed now inevitable. “Without grace or mercy" were the words of the emperor, and the town was to share the fate of the castle. The greatest terror prevailed. Then the high-born duchesses and the wives of the town'ofilccrs held a council, and determined to go in procession to the emperor, implore him to let them escape, and also allow them to carry away their must precious possessions. The emperor, who had no wish to wage war with women, received them kindly, gave them permission to leave the besieged town, and to take with them all that they could carry upon their shoulders. The women went away, night passed, and the morning came. At an early hour Konrad’s army was drawn up in file, the gates were opened at command of the emperor, when Duko Fred~ eric, the emperor's brother, turning, espicd down in the village street and along the steep path that led from the castle, a long line of women, carrying on their backs, not clothing, jewels, and silver, but each her husband; and, behold, Uta, the stately duchess of the eas- tle, leads the procession, the wounded Well upon her back! Had not the emperor dis. tinctly said, “Take with you all that you can carry upon your shoulders 1” When Duke Frederic beheld this sight, the like of which had never before been witnessed since the world began, he cried out angrily to the em- peror, “That was not in the compact!” but the emperor, whose face showed quite plain- ly that he was net displeased by this exhi- bition of womanly faithfulness, answered, “A king's word is not‘ to be broken ;” and while the emperor and his army looked on in mule surprise, the strange procession wend- ed its way, patiently and silently, down the steep hillside, out into the country road, car. rying away the men, and leaving the castle and town to the troops. The emperor gen- erously ordered that all the treasures of the women should at once he collected and car- ried out to them. To perpetuate this instance of womanly fidelity, theOruins have ever since born the name “Weibcrtreue”—-woman’s faithfulness. —Harper’s Magasz‘nc for September. American Discovery by N orthmen There are scarcely two interpreters who precisely agree as to the places visited by the Northmen, and those who are surest in their opinions are usually those who live farthest from the points described. Professor Rain found Vinland along the coast of New Eng- land; Professor Rusk, his contemporary, found it in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, or Labrador.‘ The latter urged, with much reason, that it was far easier to discover wild grapes in Nova Scotia than Eskimo in what is now Rhode Island, and that the whole story of the terror of the Skraelings before the hull indicates an island people like those of Newfoundland or Prince Edward Island, and certainly not the New England Indians, who were familiar with the moose, and might have seen the buffalo. He might also have'addcd, what was first pointed out by Mr. J. Elliot Cabot, that the repeated voy- fect facility with which successive explorers found the newly discovered region, indicate acme spot much nearer Greenland than Mount Hope Bay, which would have required six hundred miles of intricate coast nav- igation, without chart or compass, in order to reach it. Again, Rafa finds it easy to place the site of Leif’s bootlg at Bristol, Rhode Island; and M. Gravier, a French. man, writing so lately as 1874, has not a doubt upon the subject. But a sail from Fall River to Newport, or indeed a more study of the map, will show any dispassion- aleman that the 'description given by the sagas has hardly anything in common with the Rhode Island locality. The sagas de- scribe an inland lake communicating with the sea by a shallow river only .ccssibla at high tide, whereas Mount Hope Bay is a broad- expanse of salt-water opening into the still wider gul’f of Narragansett Bay, and communicating with the sea by passage wide, and deep enough for the navlcs of the world to Clitci‘. Even supposing the Northmen to have found their way in through what is called the Seaconnet passage, the description does not apply muehbetler to that; and if it did, these hardy sailors must have recog- nized, the moment they reached the bay it- self, that they had comc in at the back door, not at the front ; and the main access to the ocean must have instantly revealed itself. It sufilces to say that the whole interpretation which seemed so easy to'transatlantic writers is utterly rejected by Prfisscr Diman, who (was born and bred in Bristol, and lived all his life within easy reach of it. Having my- self lived for fourteen years in that region, I may venture modestly to indorse his conclu- sions; 9nd they have the weightier indorse- ment of Professor Henry Mitchell, of the Coast Survey, in a manuscript report which lies before me. And the same vagueness and indefinileness mark all the descriptions of the Northmen. Nothing is more difficult than to depict in words with any accuracy in an unscientific age the features of a low and monotonous sea-shore; and this, with the changes undergone by the coast of south- ern‘ New England during nine hundred years I think, renders the identification of any spot visited by the Northmen practically impossi- ble—Harper’s Magazine for September. Why Egyptians Lack Patriotism. During my visit to Egypt— some seven or eight years ago—there was certainly no national feeling among the Egyptians. two thousand ye‘ars, had known native rulers. During all these long centuries they had been the spoil of Roman, Arab, Turk, and Mameluke in turn; from none, since the Roman lime,had'they received prblec- tion of life and property, or any national benefits. and it was impossible that patriot- ism should exist among them, for there is no patriotism save in a country worth loving. The conduct of the Egyptian! troops in the late Russian war is a proof of this. The few battalions I saw in Egypt were fine- looking troops—well armed, instructed, and equipped, with intelligent faces and excellent physique; yet they proved utterly worth- less, as it seemed to me, because they were destitute of that pride which is inspired by patriotism; for them their flag had no meaning, its honor was no concern of theirs. Their conduct in Abyssinia and the Soudan was similar, and no doubt from the same cause. How can valor and patriotism be expected from men whose only knowledge of their government is that derived from the tax-gathercr, the bastinado, and forced labor? The achievements of that great soldier, Ibrahrmd’acha, were not in contradiction with this conclusion, because few of his troops were Fellaheen. His conquering armies weremainly, composed of Arabs, Syrians, Nubians, Arnauts—in fact, of fight- ing men from all the neighboring parts of the East, who were reduced to discipline by his stern will, and guided to victory by his reat military genius—Gen.

SPECTACULAR EFFECTS. As a spectacle, even if the climate were not so fine as it is, Saratoga is well worthy repeated visits. Everything is done here to make the scenic effects enticing. The shops on both sides Broadway, between Congress Park and the United States hotel, are fairly dazzling in the display made of their wares in windows and on the sidewalks. There are always a number of dealers in Japanese, Chinese andPersian goods here, and this year Egyptian articles are also proffered, and all these make brilliant displays. The shops keep open until 10 p. to. But the triumph of spectacular effects-is only to be witnessed in the garden of the Grand Union hotel on the occasion of a lawn party there. The second of this description for this season tuck place there yesterday, and has rarely been equaled in brilliancy. The weather was all that could he wished. Several new features wrrc introduced in the decorations, and mine Chinese lanterns of different sizes and shapes were used than heretofore in the illumination. There were nearly five thousand of these hung on frame- works, forming stars and crosses, and on re- volving hoops of varied size, one above the other, between the avenues of clms, forming chandeliers beneath the green archways,wilh Others hung on bars. As is customary, the big electric light and hundreds of gas lamps were also. lighted in the garden, and on the two beau- tiful fountains colored lights were thrown, making their spray seem brillliant, irrides- cent jewels. - The dancing floor measuring ’over 100 by 55-foot, was Surrounded by a railing entwined with red, white and blue bunting. Separat- ing it from the adjacent platform for the mu- sicians was a large horse shoe covered with yellow gauze reeling on pedestals, and on either side were columns draped with bright colors bearing painted red silk banners. Other banners and shields and flags with crossed slaves were on the large trees imme- diately around the dancing floor, while just above it were streamers of red, white and blue tarletans forming a canopy. An electric light hung over the center of this. The children danced from 4-t07 in afternoon, and the growu folks from 9 to 12 in the even- ing. Lillie Julia Grant'and little Conella Wctherell, Mrs. H. T. Stewart’s great-great. neice, attracted much attention by their beau- ty when dancing legether. They were ex- quisitely dressed. Little Julia is six years old and Cornelia is three. nnnnonn'rn oos'ronns‘. General Grant escorted Mrs. Stewart, and Mrs. Grant was with Judge Hilton, Colonel Grant with Mrs. Bloomfield Welherell and Mr. Bloomfield Wctherell with Mrs. Fred Grant. This party, after walking through the garden, took seats on one of the cottage balconies overlooking the dancing floor. Many others of distinction attended, and more elaborate dresses are' thought to have been worn than at any time heretofore at these parties and a great number of them were seen.

Mass" farmer planted a field of corn early last spring, and put up a “scare crow." This was blown down, and lay 'on the ground for weeks. Some boys found it, brought it near the edge of the field and set it up again. The farmer coming to town saw the effigy, and notified one of the police that a man was stealing his corn; he saw him in the field, and could hear him break off the ears. The officer got in, and the farmer pushed homeward at a rapid rate. On arriving at the field the officer saw the man just where the farmer left him. He felt for his handcuffs, found everything rill right, and creeping within a few. rods of his victim could see him through the dense dark- ness of the night. Making a rush he was as- tonished to grasp old clothes stuffed with buy. The farmer brought the officer back to town, made him a present of $1 for his trouble, and offered him another not to say anything about it.—Fitehbnrg Sentinel.

The Colonel was a lad twelve years of age at the time the famous satirical allegory was written, and had the honor of carrying the author’s dinner to him daily, while serving his sen- lence in jail. Salem at that time was one of the leading sea-port'sof the country. From its crowded wharves. vessels set sail for every clime. The same ships often bore missionaries and rum to the same port. Yankee ingenuity copied Greek art: Ceptaur,. half man, half boast, the other bound the Bible and the rum -barrcl together; the Castor’and Pollux of the modern my- thology was the minister of the Gospel and the rumscllcr. In imitation of the early dis ciples and the Master, they Went and were sent out two by two. ‘ The rum element ruled in the churches. People born and bred in this malarious at- mosphere were accustomed toit. Young Cheever came to the church as Moses came from the' Mount to the idolatrous camp—- from hélghls of communion with God,—-aud' determined to destroy the relation between the cup of devils and the Church of Christ. The result of the decision came forth to the world as "Deacon Giles’s Distillery,” and a parody on “Hohenlinden,” - “On Salem, when the sun was low, All bloodlesslay the. untroddqmnow, And dark as winterylas thefiov‘g' >~ or Deacon Giles'sDistillery.’_’_. ', In Salem, at the time, ‘there, lived a wealthy man, unloading member .in the church that Cheever served—a distillerond a Bible ‘agcnt. His building carried signs of both businesses—distilling liquors and..- distributing Bibles.‘ The description was: so close and accurate that all know the sub- ject. , ‘ . ‘ a Congregational clergyman, editing a paper called the Landmark. To him Cheever carried his allegory and parody, and he print- ed them. The little pamphlet was a red rag to the beastly lrafilc. A mob smashed in the doors and windows of the Landmark olllcc, scattered the type on the street, and put an end to the paper. The foreman of the distillery, meeting the reverend author on the street, publicly horsewhipped him in open day in the pres- ence of about a hundred citizens, whose verdict was, “Served him right." The author was then tried, conuictcd and sen- tched to thirty days’ imprisonment in the jail; which he served, being like Paul “in bonds.” The man who horsewhippcd him was rewarded by being made chief con- stable. After his release the clergyman re- earned his pastoral charge, and the little chapel became the chief attraction of the town. . This was in 1835 less than fifty years ago. :Surely, there has been great gain in temper- ance sentiment since then. Whatever of t c trafilc is on board .lhe good ship Zion now is a stowaway—houselcss,~frlendl_ess, dc- spised. Father Mathew’s advice, “We must cry down the vice, and make it odious in the eyes of society,” has been followed in letté’r and spirit. Slowly but surely, the traffic from dining-rooms; liquor is no longer stored beneath churches; the church member engaged in the traffic is the exception, not the rule; the whip is no longer in the hands of the distiller, to be laid on the back of the preacher, but the scourge is in the hands of the (preacher, to be laid on the back of the dealer. The ape of a varicc;thrusts the cat's paw of poverty into the hot ashes of the re- tail trade to pull out- the profits. and wears gloves to cover his own sears, that he may keep good company. The old Gadarene story finds a new meaning when the devil is cast from the manhood of the country into the more brutal part, on its way to the deep sea and destruction. I assert says Richard Smith, editor of the Cincinnati Gazette; that eighty-ans per cent. of all the crimes in Cincinnati is lreaceable to the use of intoxicating liquors; also, that one-half of all the crime is caused by the intempcrate use of intoxicating ;liquors fen Sunday. Out of one hundred and twenty- .threc saloon-keepers on one street in Cincin- nati sixty-one pay no taxes, and none of this rest pay more than a thousand dollars each. Eighteen brewers in Cincinnati pay $7,055.- 26, and 3,000 saloons pay-$6,222.19, making an aggregate of $13,274.55. The dry goods houscavof John Shillito 8.7 00. alone, which closes on Sunday, pays over $59,000 more than all the saloon and breweries. I think they do not pay their share of the taxation. On what ground, then, can these gentlemen claim the same treatment as other business men? They now say they are going to destroy the Republican party for passing the Smith and Pond bills. I have been a Republican ever since there was a Republi- can parly. I love that party. But if it istb be made the-tail of the kite which the men who want free rum and no Sunday intend to fly, then it is time there was no Republican party. If the Democratic party is to'bea tail to the liquor traffic, it will die. We are bound to go to the people, and we shall win. 'If wage to the people on the question, we will defeat the opposition two to one. ."_—-_____—___== “Turns and Corners" of Mission- ary Life. A Western missionary of the American Sunday-School Union mentions it, as “one of the turns and corners of missionary life,” that recently, when worn and weary, at night, he was denied entertainment at a certain house ; found out the house to which he had been di- rected, closed; was dismissed at a third house; and in scekinga fourth became irre- trievably lost in the darkness of a solitary place, until finally his despairing eye caught a ray from a distant light and his shouts brought" help to creating-place for the night. On the marrow he visited. all the families of his way to that first man who rudely shut the door in his face, and got him interested in his work, so that the house became his home during his tarry in theineighborhood, and on Sundaytho man and his family attended the meeting for organizing the Sunday-school; and they have attended it ever since. 80 the turning away that seemed an evil turn be- came the corner of a return that brought a blessing.—.—0bureh Union. . m . Sold Out Cheap. 0" . For the paltry sum of $30,000 the leaders of the Ohio Democracy have sold their party to the brewers. lightly valued, or sold so cheaply. In 1880 the Democracy of this State polled 340,820 votes for their Presidential candidate. They probably have that number of voters to-day. The brewers have agreed to purchase the en- tire lot at 8 and 8-10 of a cent per head. Any schoolboy can cipher it out. If 340,820 Dem- ocrats are worth only $30,000, then one Dem- ocrat is worth in the market 8.8 cents. or less than the retail price of two glasses of lager. In some cases, perhaps, even this price is too high, but in thousands of others it is “dog cheap.” Just think of it, the whole Demo cractic party of Ohio has been sold to the brewing interest for a sum equal to the retail, price of 600,000 glasses of beer. What have. the: high-toned men of the party to say; to this? Will 'the Christian men, the moral men, the temperance men, who usually vote sheep in the shambles for only 8.8 cents a head.f0kcobznd LaaderCRep) m ‘ A Kansas story is fabout three mice that rolled an egg down a stairway without breakage.

Here’s a story of blood, and a moral, too, Which, the moral isgood, and the story true. A little mosquito, athirst for gore, Came up one day from a. Stratford shore, And, whirling in at an editor’s door, Erected its derrick and ’gan to bore For the gore— I suppose— Of that editor’s nose: Which__ the editor, dropping his hand, ker- slap! Found his spectacles broken and in his lap; While the luminous part of his luminous head, Came out of the conflict bruised and red. . “Did he harm the mosquito ? I tell you nay, For it floated away, Sauclly singing, ‘Some other day. Ew-w—w,-ew-you had better try it some other day.’ ” ' \ Now this is a moral that I would draw For such as in band would take the law : It is better to let small grievances go, Then to punish yourself for to fight the foe. —Anson:'a Sentinel. fiu—______F_ SCIENTIFIC ESCELLANY. German statistics concerning the vitality of children under different methods of feed- ing have shown that 18.2 per cent. of the infants nursed by :their mothers have died the first year; of those nursed by wet nurses 29.33 per cent. died; of those artificially fed, 60 per cent. died; and of those reared in institutions, 80 per ‘ cent. died. Further statistical comparisons show that poverty has a smallcrfchancc for life than compet- ence. Taking 1,000 well-to-do persons and 1,000 poor persons. there. were living at the end of five years 943 of the prosperous and only 655 of the poor; after fifty years 557 were left of the prosperous, and only 283 of the poor; at seventy years of age 235 of the prosperous remained, and but 65 of the poor Among the well-off class the average length of life was found to be fifty years, and among the poor only thirty-two. . _ According to Prof. F. 0. Phillips, healthy plants may absorb through their roots small quantities of lead, zinc, copper and arsenic. The lead and zinc may enter the tissues in this way without harming the plants, but the compounds of copper and arsenic exert a distincrly poisonous influence—tending to kill the plants when present in the soil in consid- erable quantities. immigration of insect pests, like that of men, is chiefly from east to west. Noxious insects of innumerable species have crossed to America from Europe. those of the East- ern States have found their. way to the Pa- cific coast—but very few have traversed the opposite course, the only considerable pests which have crssed the Atlantic from America being the grape phylloxcra and the Colorado potato-beetle. Throughout the universe are scattered myriads of star-systems, each appearing to the unaided eye as a single point—so great is the distance from us—but each consisting of two or more great blazing suns, widely sep- of gravity, and doubtless attended by planets traversing bewilderingly complicated orbits. Of the double slats many systems have components of different colors, the colors being complimentary. This peculiar feature must produce a striking effect open the planetary attendants of the colored suns. “What,” says Mr. Doberek in a recent paper on double stars, “must be the 'nature of those worlds illuminated by two different suns, [one yellow and another purple? Now rises the one and all is clothed in yellow, now the other, and illuminated from complimentary sources, every object appears in its natural color._ Then sets the yellow sun, and what must be the diversity of the effects as .it approaches the horizon! And, behold na- ture puts on a purple mantle. Then also that‘sun sets, and in the darkness of night, though there is seldom night where there are two suns, the starry heavens are seen there much the same as here, except perhaps for moon’s reflecting light from the differently colored suns. But stars that seem large to us are hardly visible there, while our sun is perceived in the telescopes of the mysterious beings that inhabit those strange globes as only a faint star, and metaphysieians there prove a prion' considerations that no life could bask in the feeble glare of a single sun —how all would famish but for the opposite effects of the two suns, And no deubl life there is heightened, seeing how glorious is the creation on this poor orb that is'kcpt alive by but one sun.” Polished silver absorbsdess than three per cent. of the- rays of light striking it. and is the most perfect rcfieéting metal known. An experiment by Mr. John Eilel of Sac- ramento chemist, proves that only an ex- ceedingly small supply of 'oxygen is neces- sary to the life of a toad. After being kept for three or four days under the receiver of an air-pump fromjwhich the air_had been ex- hausted as nearly as practicable, one of these reptiles appeared to have suffered no injury. A mouse, put under the same receiver, was quickly suffocated at the third or fourth stroke of the pump. Recent evidence seems to indicate that, ‘ under certain condition, vegetable matter may be converted into coal in much less period than any geologists have believed to be necessary. At least an approach to such conversion has been digcovered in the mines of the Upper Harlz, in Germany, where some of the timbers originally used in tim- bering have been transformed into what ap- pears to be a genuine lignite, or brown coal. The time occupied by the“ process cannot, it is believed have extended beyond four centuries—a very brief period: compared with that usually assigned to the coal forma- tions. ‘ ' ical analysis is remarkable. Swan found that the, sodium lines are visible when a solution employed containg less than a two- millionth part of a grain of sodium.
