troling interest in the manufacture of
nearly all the explosives that were made
in the United States and Canada. cast of
the Rocky ' Mountains. Ten million
pounds of these materials were consumed
in the country in 1 the Bepauno
Company's works at T pson’s Point
producing one third of this anooant. He
is creditedwith having organized a com-
bination of all the makers bf high explo-
sives. When negotiating with the Pan-
amu’ Canal Company for, the 'powder to
beizsedin that work be guaranteed to
supply twelve tons of Atlas powder daily
if that amount were needed. One of_ the
most daring achievements recorded in the
history of the present century is one of
which he was the central figure. During
the Crimean war the Russian Govern-
ment ran short of powder, and the ex~
plosive was required to continue thc‘ de-
fence of Sebastopol. A cargo W89 pur-
chased from the Duponts in this country,
and was placed in a. steambip lying 0‘1
Baltimore. The British had frigates
posted in waiting outside the Chesapeake.
After seven fcints the watchers were
eluded and a chase began across the At-
lantic, through Gibraltar, and up the
Mediterranean sea. With remarkably
good' fortune the vessel passed through
the Bosporus and into the Black sea un-
checked; but when nearing the place of
contention the English wai- ships‘hailed
the stranger. Young Dupont was at the
helm himself, and insisted that the ves-
sel proceed, not heading the signals from
the war ships. Two breadsides were
fired into the vessel, but she was able to
steam ahead and steer through the rocks,
and was'beaohed inside the Russian lines.
This daring adventure saved the cargo,
for which the Russian Government paid
thesum of $3,000,000. Throughout the
civil war the family rendered distin~
guished services to the Government, and
at the very beginning of the rebellion,
Mr. Lammot Dupont was placed in a po-
sition by which, through his energy and
genius, the country was supplied with
the means of defence for the ensuing

When the poet Robert Browning and
his sister were in Switzerland they began
to talk in a lonely spot of what /they
would do in case they should suddenly
find the corpse of a murdered person, as
in that ocuntry it would be treated as a
suspicious and ugly circumstance. With-
out coming to any conclusion they re-
turned to the hotel, where the next mom-
thau was necessary in that place, but sub-
sequently coming back there, were
pointed out the place where the body was
found. The murder had been committed
afew minutes after they had been talk-
ing, and almost an the exact spot where
they stood. The man who found the
body was arrested, but killed himself in
prison, being unable to bear the thought
of a trial, but the murderers escaped. It
was the first crime of violence happening
in the valley for one hundred years. A
gentlemen who heard the story said that
one. day, traveling to the town of Don-

what be supposed was an error committed
in the office of the paper-that is, the
double announcement of his wife‘s hav-
ing given birth to a son, the name and
date being the same in both notices. 0n
getting out of the train he was introduced
by a friend to a gentleman who had just
ridden in the same car or carriage with
him. He was the other gentleman of the

birth to a son, as announced, and had,
been equally amazed and puzzled ‘by the

fixed over this suit, and the long sleeves
are attached to a cord which passes round
the thighs, so that he cannot lift his
hands beyond a. certain height, and is al-
most helpless to perform the most drdi-

awooden spoon. A warder and a. gen-
darmc, both unarmed, who are relieved
every two hours, keep perpetual watch
over him. He may sleep or smoke or
eat when he chooses, but visitors from
outside are not adufitsd; tidings from
outside do not enter. His solitary exer-
cise is permnbulating a corridor round a

Every chineso trading-vessel is obliged
to have its name painted or ntlgmvisc dc-

plain indication on its sides of the prov-

is usually the color which the bulwarka
are painted. As this paint must, by law
be renewed every two years, it is a fairly
easy matter, in passing a junk at sea, to
determine from what part of the empire
she hails. Instead (if naming their ves-

Pratt’s Astral Oil.
In a circular issued Junc_30th, 1882, by the Newfork State Board or
Health, there appears the astounding statement, “It is estimated that upwards of
thirty thousand lives have been destroyed by the explosive qualities of peh'oleum."
The introduction of PBATT’S ASTBAL 01!. was the first prac-
tical check given to this wholesale destruction of life.
Itwas the first um and reliable mm. ell ever made;
and, although many mllllons of gallons have been annually sold since its intro-
duction, no person has ever suffix-ed by an accident tho- it-
use, nor- has any Insurance Company paid a dollar- for
loss occasioned by it.
Why, then, should any risk be taken in the choice of a burning oil when
PM'I‘T’S “THAI. can be obtained at the present low price?
Be sure to insist that dealer-e fhnlsh you with the
genuine article, as immense quantifies of inferior oils are sold annually

While examining the discoveries made
"a tlzc atrium of Vesta in the Roman Fo-
rum, Mr. J. H. Middleton finds that in
many cases where the block had not been
large enough for the whole figure of a
statue limbs or folds of drapery were at-
tached with bronze dowels.

From determinations made of the pro.
portion of carbonic acid present in the
atmosphere at Cape Horn, as affected by
the members of the French Mission, it
appears that the quantity of that gas there
is only about 2.56 in 10,000 volumes of
air, as compared with 2.84, the average
quantity in the atmosphere over Europe.
According to the Scientific American, the
cable railway at the Giessbach in Switz-
erland is operated by water. 0n the ar-
rival of a car at the upper station, itis
weighted with a sufficient quantity of
water from a reservoir, supplied by a
spring, to draw up the other car; so that
each car alternately acts as a. motor at a
very small cost.
An international competition is invited
by the Second Teyler Society of Haarlem
for a gold medal worth 400 fiorins for a
critical study of all that has been said for
and against spontaneous generation espe-
cially during the last twenty-five years.

At the temples of Kroto, Japan, is the
great bell cast in 1633. It is,18 feethigh,
9 feet in diameter and 95- 'inches thick.
Its weight is nearly 74 tons. About 1,500
pounds of gold are said to have been in-
corporated in the composition. Its tone
is magnificent. When struck with the
open hand its sound can be heard at a
distance of a hundred yards.
M. Gustave Trouve has successfuuy ap-
plied a system of incandescent electric
lighting to brooches, bracelets, hairpins,
gentlemen's breastpins, knobs of walking-
sticks, etc., and the current, which can
be turned off or on at will by means of a
switch, is supplied by a small battery car-
ried in the pocket, and it supplies a good
light for half an hour at least.
Prof. Silvanus P. Thompson has in-
vented a new form of electric “meter
bridge." Thewire is two metres long,
and there are two wires, ope having a re«
sistancc of .25 ohm and the other 8.21
ohms. Contact is made withone or other
with a sliding contact with vernier at-
tached. A special switch-board with an
arrangement of mercury cups avoids the
necessity of transposing the coils.
Capt. Le Vallois and three other engi-
neer officers at present engaged in M0-
rocco in making military surveys accom-
pany the army of the Sultan this year on
the annual mission of collecting tribute

is expected that this will result in giving
to the world some new and interesting in-
formation of parts regarding which little
or nothing isknown with certainty at pres-

There is a movement on foot to develop
the oil-fields of Canada this year. Oil
taken from a place 150 miles north of Ed-
monton. gave, according to an analysis by
of. Chapman, of Toronto, the follow-
ing result : “ Infiammable volatile mat-
ter, 94.53 per cent. and fixed carbon and
ash, 5.47 per cent. The volatile matter
consists of hydro-carbons. The gum pre-
sents the usudl characterand composition
of crude petroleum.”
A note on a sudden earthquake-wave
observed on Jan. 14 has been read by M.
Beuf before the Academy of. Sciences,
Paris. . At Montevideo, at 7:30 o’clock in
the morning of the day stated, the water
suddenly fell several feet and then rose in
two successive waves about 1.5 metres
higher than the ordinary sea level. This
phenomenon seems to have been of a
strictly local nature, as nothing of the
kind was noticed at Buenos Ayres on the
opposite side of the estuary.
Pasteur, Chamberland and Roux h'ave
reported to the Academy of Sciences,
Paris, results of further experiments on
dogs, rabbits, poultry, sheep, monkeys,
and other animals which were inoculated
with the virus of rabies, by trepanning
chiefly. The object of the operation was
ionscertain how far immunity from hy-
drophobic communicated by mad dogs
could thus be secured. As many as
twenty-three dogs have by the process
been rendered absolutely safe from the
effects of the virus proceeding directly or
indirectly from mad dogs.
Although the head-quarters of the man-
ufacture of articles of amber and mom'-
schaum must be considered to beVienna,
this industry, which has risen from small
dimensions to enormous proportions, is
pretty well distributed among several of
the large cities of the Austrian Empire.
The amber is imported from Dantzig, and
themesrschaum is brought in blocks from
Asia Minor, where the meerschaum is
quarried. Imitation meerschaum, intro-
duced into the market of late years, is
made of the chips of the genuine meer-
echaum. '
