JAPANESE THEATRES»
The entrance and exits to and from the
stage of a Japanese theatre are all made
through the audience by a longnraiaed plat-
fOrm down one side, corresponding with one
of our side aisles, and introductory remarks
are made from it. Prompting is not so nicely
.done. is with us. An attendant in black
squats behind the star, book in hand, and
reads every word of his part to him in full
view of all but those who sit directlyin front,
since lights are not used, but each actor is‘nc-
companied by an invisible, (a. man with his
face covered by a black cloth.) who holds a.
candle at the end of a long'pole just under
his face. The attendant must be well up in
the action of his part, for he is never in the
way of the action of the principle, but nim-
bly manipulates his candle so as to avoid in~
torcepting him. -
Women do not not, but men represent
them, and it is noticeable that men who are
above the average height are always chosen,
and whose natural voices are anything but
,efi’eminate. Stars are well-paid, the best at,
the best theatre getting one thousand dol-
lars a month. The dressing is quite as ex-
travagant as oilrs, and he requires no less
than forty servants, so that his expenses, like
those of all high-salaried people, are large.
Tho‘stage has a thirty feet turn-table in the
centre of it, by which scenes are changed
quickly by turning the table around. All up.
right post a foot in diameter is the pivot of
the. turn-table, and the periphery rests on
well greased wood bearings, and the power is
that of a couple of coBlics applied to a stick
attached to the rim. - The curtainis a light
cotton cloth hung on a wire. The lights are
large candles. with thick paper wicks, which
require snuffing every few minutes, and are
snuffed by an old fellow who handles the
snuffers with a professional flourish, occa-
sionally dropping a rod end into a box with-
out stopping to apologize. The foot and fly:-
lights he snufis while the play is in progress,
going in and out among the players, regard- .
less of the situation.
The play lasts all day and all night. A box
for four costs two dollars for a whole day or
a whole night. Parties go and stay all day,
lunching and smoking at pleasure. It is an
extremely social sight. The Chinese theatres
do not give any idea of it. The ventilation
is good, odors are not offensive. and the gay
dresses of the people in the boxes are pleas-
ing, as well as their glad faces and bright
eyes. That they are asympathetic people is
proven by the fact that .during the melo-
drama, while a poor, blind orphan was re-
citing his tale of sorrow, heads were bowed
all over the house, and women had “real
good cries," such. as might flatter Clara
Morris, were she on the stage. The streets
in the vicinity of the great theatres are filled
with peep shows, monkey shows, low-priced
FEATS OF TELEGRAPHY:
We have often heard of the wonderful
line between this contry and Teheran,
the capital‘s-of. Dersias, a distance of .3, 800
miles, but" we sharcely realized the fact
that 3006. signals were obtainable through
so great a. length of wire until recently,
when we availed ourselves of an invita-
tion from Mr. W. Andrews, the Manag-
ing Director of the Indo-European
Telegraph Company, to make a tour of
inspection. It was between '7 and S on
Sunday evening, April 13,. when he
reached the office.
In the basement of an unpretentious
building" in Old Broad street, we were
shown the Morse printer in connection
with the main line from 'London to
Tehel‘llll. The comteous clerk in charge
that we were through to Emden, and
with the same case with which one
“ wires" from the city to the West End
we asked a few questions of the tele-
graphist' in the German town. When
we had finished with Emden, we spoke
with the same facility to the gentleman
on duty at Odessa. This did nOt satisfy
us, and in a few seconds we were through
to the Persian capital, Toheran. There
were no messages about, the time was
one countries seemed anxious to give us
an opportunity of testing the capacity of
this [wonderful line. .
T. H. N. (Teheran) said, “Called
Kurrachee‘,” and in lesstime'tllan it takes
to write these words we gained the at-
tention of the,Indinn town. The signals
were good, and our speed must have
equalled fifteen words a minute. The
operator at Kari-aches. when he learned
that London was speaking to him,
thought it would be a good opportunity
to put us through to Agra, and to our
astonishment the signals did not fail,
and 'we chatted pleasantly for i a few
minutes with, Mr. Malcom Khan, the
clerk on duty. To make this triumph of
telegraphy‘complete, Agra switched us
on to another line, and we were soon
talking to a native telegraphist at the
Indian Government Cable Station, Cal-
cutta. At first the gentlemen ”at the
end of the wire” could not behave that
he was not reallyin direct communica-
tion with the English capital, and he ex-
claimed, in Morse language “Aro'you,
really Lbndon?” Truly, this was a
great achievement. Metallic communi-
cation without a break from No. 18 Old
Broad street, London, to the telegraph
office in Calcutta! Seven thousand
miles Of wire! The signals Were excel-
lent, and the speed attained was not less
than twelve, perhaps fourteen words _

DIVORCE UNDER run ROMANS. glance’ but are not gene y
In ancient Rome, under the republic,
divorce became more frequent with the
decadence of manners. But Caesar, Oc-
tavius, Antony, etc, contracted. marriage
even three, four and five times. Indeed,
matters were so bad in Rome thatit was
considered an honor during the lifetime
for a woman to have but one husband.
A model epitaph on the grave of ‘a Ro-
man matron set forth that her life was
“pious and exemplary, and that she had
only one husband.” Juvenal tell us how a
lady could change her husband eight times
in five years : and St. Jerome relates the
spectacle could bg witnessed at Rome of
a woman who died, having had twenty-two
husbands. The good father might have
added, her last bridegroom was a man
who had been divorced twenty-one
times; the state paid the expenses of this
curious marriage, and when the woman
died, she was decreed a public funeral.
The conquest of Gaul by the Romans in-
troduced the institution of divorce.
Basins quitted' the King of Thuringia,
for Chilperic, who marriedher. . A Chil-
peric, King pf Soissons, divdrcedE-his '
wife, Andovor, because she so forgot
court etiquette as tO present herself her
baby at the baptismal font to be.
christened. And Charlemagne divorced
his, Theodora, because she was not a
Christian. In Russia, when a husband
and wife cannot get. on... together, they
take sulphur each shuttling an end, and;
having broken a cake in two, proceed to
a cross-roads, and there, in the presence
of some people, fear the napkin to tat-
ters, till the smallest morsel remains in
the fingers, incapable of further sub-
division. If after this mutual tearing
process they are not reconciled, each
takes a different roadand the tribunal

MONSTROOS FUNGI.

coal-pits are sometimes astonished by the
curious fungi which drape the walls with
gruesome tapestry; but every instance of

GREAT \VILHELM BEUKELZOON.
The amphibious Dutch are bad to beat on
land or water, but. particularly on the water.
Two or three centuries ago they were the
boldest, most ingenious, and most successful
fishermen .in the world. Amsterdam, their
great trading port, was said to have been
built on herring bones. For their export of
salt herrings, and the wealth it brought
them, they were, indebted to one Wilhelm
Beukelzoon, a native of Biervliet. What he
discovered was a method of so salting the
herrings that they might be packed in bar-
rels for exportation, for, of course, it was not
to him first of all men that the idea of salting
herrings occurred. Three centuries before
his day the herring fisheries of the Baltic are‘
mentioned, and in some way or other their
produce must have been salted; and in 1290 '
dried herrings, which must have been pro-I
viously salted, are mentioned among the
articles used in victualing a vessel sent from
Yarmouth to Norway. What the immortal
Beukelzpon hit upon appears to have been
the happy idea, not to dry them, but to
. pickle them in moist salt, and so pack them
- in bulkin barrels, with the certainty that
they would remain untainted. This was a
speedily effected and cheap procesa'and the
result was a much cheaper and much better
article. The great man died A. D. 1449,
and was buried in his 'native town- of Bier-
vliet,‘ and a grateful country decreed a statue
.to his meson... Nearly .8 993m..§flerwd

herrings had done for the Netherlands, wont

But we. . cannot suppose that he went so far.

Beukelzoon’s discovery had had upon his
country with the effects his own ambition,

WHY HE TURNED TEETO’I‘ALER.
When the Indians near Cape Madge saw
the steamer Grappler in flames they speedily
launched their canoes. and put. 03- to the'
burning Vessel with the object of "plunder.
As already known, they succeeded in break-
ing open the strong box and obtaining a
large sum in silver. . An occupant of one of
the canoes, while paddling around noticed a
bottle floating in the water. ' The savage's
eyes glistened, evidently thinking he had
found a prize. Without saying a word to
his comrades he approached the bottle and
picked it up, and an exultant grin spread
over his face. The bottle contained muriatic
acid and in lifting it into the canoe the noble
red man unfortunately spilled the contents
over his legs. With a yell like a Comanche
war-whoop, poor Lo leaped to his feet, and
frightened the life‘out of his comrades. Ut-
tering another yell more fiendish and blood-
whioh, apparently, has no parallel in the
regions of the sunlight and the upper air.
In general they are all of n snowy whiteness,
and some of the hooded masses rise up sev-
eral feet from the ground like sheeted
ghosts. Others, in the distance, take the
form of bearded goats or sleeping owls.
Here great bunches of long, white hair hang
down from the roof ;_and there huge, pulpy?
masses encumber the floor like brainstone
col-a1. The latter appear to have sprung mi-
raculously from something spilled upon the
rocks in past days, while the former seems
to have crystaliaed lik‘o hear-frost from the
atmosphere itself. Some of. the rounded
masses have actually lifted up from the floor
a hundred pounds, to d height of three feet.
In the higher levels of the mines, where the
.air' is drier, the fungi are far less bulky than
below, and much firmér in texture. The
shapes hero are, however, more elaborate
and beautiful. One kind grows in a twisted
spiral like a ram’s horn, to a length of five
feet, 'and hangs from the rafters like a
trophy of the chase, or rather, like atser.
pent suspended by the .tail. Another sort
sends out a stem the thickness of a pencil to
a height of one or two' feet, where it blos-
soms into a bulbous knob something like a
flower. Nothing like the toadstool or the
common mushroom is to be found, and the
wondrous growths have alLtho aspect of
being called into a special being by the
peculiarities of their environment.
WOBIEN CLERKS.
Of late years the employment of women
as clerks has greatly increased in England as
well as in France, and in both countries it
is generally agreed that the system works
salisfactorily. At the Bank of France there
are now 160 female clerks, whoreccive three

cases to as much as 4,000 francs, or $800 a
year. In both establishments the hours of
attendence are frOm 9 to 4 on six days of the

it was found that the acid ‘had burned the
flesh on both logs into the bone, The In-

the burn. As for the victim, he. swears he

A DRAWING-BOOM omen. ILLvson.
A very striking illustration of what may
be called " optical reaction," is afforded by
the colored gas glasses that are now rather
fashionable. If a room is lighted with the
red glasses that have outspreading open
tops, all the lower part' of the room and
everything in it is tinged with red, while the
ceiling, which is lighted directly by the gas
flame, is white. This, however, does not
appear to be the case to the spectator who
has been a short time in the midst of the
red light. The white ceiling, appears green,
and of the tint which is just complimentary
to the red light transmitted by the glass. _ So
decided is this green color that a person un-
acquainted with the room, and the phil-
osophy of this illusion, has a difficulty in
beleiving that" the ceiling is not painted

SONGS OF rm: PEOPLE. .
‘f Stephen C. Foster, the author of ‘Old
Dog Tray' and IOld Folks at Home,
was. a genuine American, a farmer's. boy,
who '-had but limited opportunity for
musical instruction; still of his ‘Old
Fonts" fully 1,000,000 copies have been
sold, and of his ‘Old Dog Tray ' 600,000.
Besides these, his "Uncle. Ned' and
‘Susanna’ are favorites: The reason of
the popularity of Foster's songs lies in
their easy flowing melody, the adherence
to plain chords in the accompaniments,
“and the avoidance of intricacy in the
llarlnony‘or embarrassing accidentuls in
the melody. I was present when they
' buried this sweet singer in Pittsburgh in
1846, to the strains of his own song,
‘Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming.’
It is the simplicity and sweetness of tune

_ HOUR-GLASSES IN CHURCHES.
When the Chapel Royal, Savoy, was re-
stored in 1867, an eighteen-minute pulpit-
glass was placed in the church, and some of
the newspapers of tho day regarded this as
the Queen's protest against lenthy sermons.
It was Daniel Burgess, the celebrated Non-
conformist divine, who, when preathing
against thesin of drunkenness, turned up
the hour-glass at the end of sixty minutes,
and, with the remark, “Another glass—
and then !" set its sands again running and
continued his sermon. An adapatation of
this pulpit joke was made by the Scotch
minister who,’ ha'ving been compelled by the
Earl of Airlie to join in a Saturday night’s
carouse, retaliated the next morning by
preaching athima long sermon from the
text, “ The wicked shall be punished, and
that right airlie ;" and, after an hour's
diatribe, turned up the glass and, quoting
his lordship’s oft~repeated command of the
previous night, said, “Another glass—and
then i" and pursued his discourse. Sir
.Joseph Jekyl says that when Bishop Burnei
was preaching against Popery, at the Rolls
Chapel, inthe first year of James II., the
sand in his hour glass ran out ; upon which
he held it up, turned it around, and set it
"runningagain, Continuing his sermon for
another hour, to the great delight of the
congregation, “ who.almost shouted for '

suns Wrrli I'rs WINGS.
There is a singular property with which
.lhc bat is endo'wed, too remarkable and
curious‘to be passed altogether unnoticed.
The wings of these creatures consist of a
delicate and nearly naked membrane of
great size, considering the sizé of the- body ;
but beside this, the nose is, in some varieties,
furnished with a membraneous foliation,_
andin others the external membraneous
_ears are greatly developed. These mem-
braneoua tissues have their sensibillity so
high that something like a new sense is
thereby developed, as if in the aid of the
sense of sight. The modified impression:
which thoair inv'quiesence or in motion,
however light, communicates, the tmmuloui
jar of its currents, its temperature, the in.
descrlablc conditions of such portions of air
as are in contact with different bodies, are
all apparently appreciated by the bat. If the
eyes ofabat be. covered up, or if he be
cruelly deprived of sight, it will pursue its
course about a room with athousand ob-
stacles in its way, avoiding them all, neither
dashing against a wall nor touching the
slightest thing, but-threading its way with
the utmostvprecision and quickness, and
passing adroitly through apertures or inter-
spaces of threads placed purposely across
the apartment. This endowment, which
almoatcxcceds belief, has been abundantly
demonstrated.
THE RAILROAD STATION WAFER.
Of all the loafers, the railroad station
loafer is the most loaferish. no" sits down,
and compels the passenger, the patron of
the railroad, to stand up. He kicks your
valiso as he passes it. He is never seen
without a mouthful of tobacco, and he
always cxpectorates in the direction either of
your miles or your feet. He stands in your
way at the ticket-office, although he is never
known to go anyvlere. He looks. over your _.
shoulder at the telegraph window while you
writeamessage. Ho spars and “rattles"
with other-hoodlum. Ho loudly calls the
attention of his fellow-loafers to your per-
sonal appeal-nape, and makes “ stage aside"
remarks for you to hour as you pass by him.
He is utterly useless, infiniton worthless,
and a wholesale nuisance. When he is under
and compelled to go to school ; between the
, ages of fourteen and twenty-one he should
be sent to the hbuse of correction or a re-
form school, and after reaching the age of
twenty-one he should be hanged. Off with
loafer.
The best life has both length and
breadth—intense personal devotion to
our own line of thought and duty, and a
glad recognition of the relations we bear
toothers. So far‘from these being‘in-
compatibl , they turn the symmetry pf
life. He who is energetic and erneat in
the Ono direction best, suited to him. and
also alive to the joys, sorrows, and ex-
periences of his fellow. men. is a living
exemplificution .of the truth that the good
of the individual are identical, and that
loyalty‘to both; is the surest path topsi-
fection in either.
that makes the popular singer, and tho

now GLOBES ARE MADE.
This has no astronomical meaning; it
refers to mechanical minipulation. Our
library and school educational globes
have perhaps been a puzzle to many an
inquisitive minds-they being so light,
so easily turned on their axis, and so
smooth as to appear more like natural
exact productions than mechanical con-
structions ‘
The material of a globe is a thick, pulpy
paper like soft straw board, and thisis
formed into two hemispheres from disks.
A flat disk is cut in game, or radical
pieces, from center to circumference,
half of the gems being removed and the
others brought together, forming a hem-
ispherical cup. These disks are gored
under a cutting press, the dies of which
are so exact that the grim come together
at their edges to make a perfect hemis-
phere. The formation is also done by a
press with hemispherical mould and die, .
the edges of the gates being covered with
‘glue. Two of these hemispheres are
'then united by glue and mounted on a
wire, the ends of which are the two axes
of the finished globe. 'All this work is
done while the paper is in a moist state.
After drying, the rough paper globe is
rasped down to a surface by coarse sand
paper, followed by finer paper,-and then
receives a coating of paint or enamel that
will take a clean smooth finish.
The instructive portion is a map of the
world printed in twelve sections, each of
lozenge shape, the points extending
from pole to pole, exactly as though the
pool of an orange was cut through from
stem to bud in twelve equal divisions.
These maps are obtained in Scotland
generally, although there are two or
threecstablishments otherwheres which
The paper of these maps
is very thin but tenacious, and is held to
the globe by glue. The operator-
generally a woman—begins at one pole,
pasting with the left hand and laying the
sheet with the right, working along one
edge to the north or other pole. coaxing
the edge of the paper over the curvature
of the globe with an ivory spatula, and
working down the entire paper to an
absolutely smooth surface. ‘
As there are no laps to these lozenge
sections the edges nmst absolutely meet,
else there would be a mixed up mess,
especially among the islands of some of
the great archipelagoes and in the ar-
bitrary political borders of the nations.
This is probably the most exact work in
_ globe making, and yet it appears to be
easy because the operators is so expert in
cooking down fullnesses and in‘expand-
ing scanty portions, all the time keeping
absolute relation and perfect joining
with the other sections and to their
edges. The metallic work—the equators,
meridians, and stands—are finished by
machinery. A coat of transparent
varnish over the paper surface completes
the work, and thus n globe is built.
BEER DRINKING AND HEART DISEASE.
Thellabitual consumption of beer in
excessive quantities tends to hypertrophy
by the direct action of alcohol upon the
I‘llefil'l}, by the enormous amount of fluid
introduced into the body, and by the
easily assimilated nutritive constituents
habits are often associated with great
bodily activity and at the least relatively
luxurious manner of life. The average
weight of the normal heart in men is
relatively greater in Munich than else-
where, a fact, without doubt, dependent
upon the excessive consumption of beer
in that city. The characteristic changes
in the form of hypertrophy under con-
sideration consist in the participation of
both sides of the heart and in an enor-
mous increase in the volume of the primi-
tive muscular elements, with enlarge-
ment of the nuclei. Whether or. not
actual numerical increase in the muscular
fibres takes place cannot be known.
Many individuals addicted to such excess
attain an advanced age, nothwithstaning
cardiac hypertrophy, by reason of con-
stitutional peculiarities, as active open-air
life or tin-enforced moderation, but the
greater number perish after brief illness
with symptoms of cardiac failure. At
the postmortem examination are dis-
covered moderato drbpsy, pulmonary
oedema, brown induration of the lungs,
bronchitis, congestion of the lung, liver,
spleen, kidneys and other organs. Fatty
degeneration of the muscular wall of the
head is absent in most of the cases and
death must in the absence of adequate
anatomical lesions be looked upon as due
to paralysis of the cordial nerves and
ganglia. The condition of such subjects
not rarely amounts to a true plethora of
-the most typical kind, such as is seen
among the drivers of beer wagons and
workers in breweries in this country.
i The excesses in beer are' common in some
parts of Germany, as in the New World,
but that such excesses are attended by a
direct and grave danger, hitherto little
suspected, should be generally under-
stood. '

Paris. A fashionablofifgdressed young
man walked into afiwell-known cafe;
then, having managed to attract some at-
' tention, he sauntered up and down the
garden; finally seating himself at a small
table. To him came a person who, from
his conversation proved to be a tailor,
and who accused him in warm wordl of
being ungrateful, stating that he had
dressed him on credit for five years.
The young fellow fired up and declared-
himself insulted A crowd gathered and
eager eyes listened to the high words.
Finally, to convince his -quondam tailor
that another house was cheaper and bet-
ter, the late client pulled out the bill for
the garments he wore. The name, price,
address, etc, were read aloud, and the
open-mouthed crowd drank it 'in. The
enterprising tailor who got up this little
drama found his profit.

A CURE FORr sum.
Among the most. .troublmomo and..often
noticed eye affections are what are known as
hordeolum, "or .wmrDon.itye. ‘.Dr 'Ibms
Fitzpatrick, in the La _ ‘ _‘difi_‘ers from some
of his profeSsionalbr" '1' who prcsist gin;
ordering the application‘s: poulticeé, bathing
with tepid water, etc.. These, no doubt, do
good in the and, but such applications have
the great disadvahtage of prolonging the
career of these unsightly sores, and en;
courage the production of fresh ones. Dr.
Fitzpatrick has found, after many trials, the
local application at tincture of iodine or-
ertaa well a yell-marked influence in check-
ing the growth. . This is by far preferable
to the nitrate of silver, which makes an un-
sightly mark, and often fails in its object.
The early use of the iodine acts was a prompt
abortive. To’ apply it, the lids should he,
held apart by the thumb'nnd index finger of
the left hand, while the iodine is painted
over the inflamed papilla. with a fine and.

Ought young children to begin upon'small-
sized violins? All murals Sayer“ ;"patub
rally, for they supply the new 'viollna of all
sizes. But I emphatically say " No.” The
sooner the child gets accustomed to the right
violin intervals the better ; the small violins
distances, which he has successively to’ un-
learns the. violonccllo ‘or tenor. Few vio-
linists survive that ordeal, and most people
who take to the tenor or ’oello after playing
the violin keep to it. Either they have not
been successful on the violin, or they hope ,
to become so on its larger, though le'u bril-
liant, relation, but they have a perfectly true
instinct that it is difilcult to excel. on both,
because of the intervals. Yet in tho flu of
sizes into the pupil's hand on the? ground
that, as his hand enlarges with years, the
enlarged key-board will .suit his fingers '
better, but that-is not , the .way the. brain
works—:tho brain learns altar-vols. c.7214; does
not bother itself about the size of tho-fingers:
that have got to scratch them.“ A child . of
even 7 or 8'can scratch {all the ordinary in-
teryals on a full-sized ‘yiolin finger-board. .
He may not be able “held—tha'fiom to his -
chin, but he can learn his scales and pick
out tunes, sitting on a "stool and holding his
instrument like a violmcollo. Before the
age of s I found no ~me in doing this.
but the greater the, difliculty the better the
practice. The tendpns cannot be too, much
stretchedshort of spruining and breaking.
Mere aching is to be made no account of;
the muscles can hardly be too much worked.
A child will soon gain surprising agility,
even on a large finger-board. Avoid the
hateful figured slip of paper that used to be
pasted on violin finger-boards in my youth,
with round dots for the fingers. I remem-
ber tearing mine of! inn fitof‘ uncontrollable
irritation. I found it very difioult, with the
use of my eyes, to put my fingers on the
dots, and even then the note was not always
in tune, for of course the dot might be cov-
ered in a dozen ways by the finger_ tips, and
a hair's breath one way or the other would
vary the note. But the principle is vicious.
A violin-player’s eyes have no Indra business
with his fingers than a billiard-player; eyes
have with his cue. He looks at the ball,
and the musician, if he looks at anything,
should look at the notes, or at his audience,
or he can shut his eyes if he likés. It ishis
ears, not his eyes, have to do with his
fingers.
THE CLIFF DWELLEBS.
Fifty miles west of Winstow, A. T., is a
little station called Cosnino. It is suddenly
lifted into importance from its proximity to
a vast canon, once the abode of chi dwellers.
An hour's walk from this station and we
stand upon the blink of a chasm 80 deep
that the eye can hardly see its bottom. Ac-
tual measurement makes it 2,000 feet deep.
The width varies from 200 feet atthe bottom
to 1,500 feet at the top. The sides are solid
rock, but in layers of perhaps thirty feet in
depth, each layer having a projecting or
shelving edge extending from six to twenty
feet. It is under the shelving work that the
cliff dwellers built their abodes. Some wise
men say that the projections are excavations
for the purposes of building made by these
same cliff dwellers, but to my mind the
work is too vast to admit of such a theory.
On the opposite side from where we stood
we counted seven tiers of these dwellings. It
is notable that none are low‘ than two
hundred feet from the bdttom. The canon
is irregular in its formation, but, from our
stand-point, we could count more than two
hundred of these dwellings, and there can
be no doubt that this was a City of maiiy
thousand inhabitants. To what age of the
world this race belonged, or the character
of the people who built these cities, neither
history nor tradition gives a trace. We made
a perilous descent, visiting several tiers of
these houses. The front and side walls are
of solid masonry, and in a state of good pre-
sel‘vution. Doors, three feet by eighteen
inches, still remain, showing that these
houses were for the accommodation of a
very small race. The opening was small, a
that it could be quickly closed b‘its inmates cl
against an invading enemy. The canon was .
once, no doubt, filled to the depth of a .
hundred feet by running water, for no houses
appear below that level. The approach and .
retreat of these dwellers were in boats or ..
(”111063. ‘
All my theories are guess work, but a. '
company of learned gentlemen from the .
Smithsonian Institute are to pay their re-
spects to this newest wonder, and their re-
port may make everything clear as to what
age or race this people belonged.
HOW
SENSA'I‘IONS OFA BLIND MAN.
An interesting account has been lately fur-
nished by M. Plateau, the eninent Belgian .
physicist (who has been blind nearly forty
years), of the sensations he expcriaces in ‘
his eyes. He has no sense of objective light I,
even when directing his eyes toward the
sun. But his visual field is always divided 5
into spews, some of which are pretty bright,
and others sombre or nearly dark, and which
merge into each other. Their general tint
alternates, intime, between gray and red-
dish. The relativc arrangement of those _,
difierent spaces is always the same, but the
intensity of their tints varies The central
space seems now rather bright, now very
dark; above and~below,,und on the. left to s;
the limits of the'fi'eld, there is sometimes
brightness, sometimes darkness, but on the
right there is generally a vertical band,
nearly black, and beyond. this a space which
is nearly always bright and reddish. These ‘
appearances follow all the movements of the
eyes, which probably do not participate in
the same way in the tints, but M. Plateau
cannot distinguish what belongs to one from
what belongs to the other. No connection,
of the general tint with the work of di-
gestion is observed The author states that
he became blind through looking fixedly at
the sun for some time, with a view to ob-‘
serving his after sensations ; it was not till
about fourteen years after this that inflam~
motion of the choroid set in, destroying. ;

assertion ho‘ mentions the following facts :
He was recently called-upon to examine an
equal number 'of German and French Swiss
recruits, the former being in the habit of
reading and writing Gannon, the latter
admits, surprised him, for twenty-two per
cent. of the Germans were afiliotcd with do-
. fcctive or short sight, while only “M
percent. of thoFronch 'sufi'ered. from this
infirmity. His deduction,:thereforo,,i§. that
asboth the German and French-speaking
Swiss live preciselyintlie in... way, in the
same climate, and so forth, :the short-sigh" ‘-
. edneslsof the Germans. must be due to their
.,,habitually reading and writing the: German
characters. Any one, he urges, must have
. remarked the difficulty which children 9x1
pericpce‘in disfinzuiflling the difference be-
tween certain German letters, so closely do
they resemble one another, and the. strain
thus put upon the eyes weakens the sight at
an age when it needs strengthening. More-
.over, he hammade a calculation, and has
ascertained that to write 500 words in Gore
man characters, 2,500 motions of the builds
are required, whereas, to write\the same
number of words in Latin letters, only.
2,000 are necessary. In short, he warmly
advocates the suppression of German . char.
actors, to save the eyes frOm being over.
strained, and confidently predicts “that, were
his advice adopted, thopercentage of weak-
sighted or short-sighted adult ' Germans
would be considerably less than 'at present.
A MODERN SAMPSON.
Prof. R. A. Proctor has discovered in No-
vada, albeing who claims to be the'strongest
man in the world. His name is Angela Car-
delia. He is an Italian aged thirty-eight,
and stands five feet ten inches in Light,
weighing one hundred and thirty-eight
pounds. Hisstrqnsth was born with him.
for he had no athletic-training. He differs
from other men chiefly in his ossebus struc-
ture. Although not of unusual" size, his
spinal column is double the ordinary width
and his bones and joints are made 'on a
similarly large and generous scale. He can
lift a man of two hundred pounds with the
middle finger of his right hand. The man
stood with ono foot on the floor, his arms
outstretched and his hands grapscd by two
persons to balance his body. Cordelia then
stooped down and placed the third finger of
hisright hand under the mans feet, and
with scarcely any perceptible effort raised
him to the hight of for: feet and deposited
him one table near at hand. Once, two
powerful men waylaid Cordelia with intent
to thrash him, but he seized one in each
hand andhammered them together till the
life ,was nearly hammered out of them. He
is of a quiet and peaceable disposition, and
hisstrengthis inherited, for he, states his
father was more powerful than himself.
SINGULAR. AND CURIOUS PRACTICE.
A Simla (Hindostan) correspondent writes :
I do not think that I have ever told you of a
most singular and curious practice which
obtains among the villagers at “.Annandale.’
There is a stream of water which perpetually
flows down from the hill-side, and which
serves to keep the gardens well watered.
The water, when once it reaches the level of
Annandale, is carried to a small reservoir by
means of long, narrow troughs. Beneath
these troughs you may any day see a tiny
little infant lying .t on its back, so as to
admit of the rill of water flowing gently on
its head. The little creature, after being
subjected to this strange process for a. few
minutes, 'falls fast asleep and remains so for
about an hour. If you were to ask the
mother of the child why she treats it in this
manner, she will tell you with an innocence
and earnestness that is not without its
attractions, that it is good for the child, and
that it is calculated to impart health and
vigor to the constitution. I should fancy
just the contrary, but there is no doubt that
natives have great faith in the practice, and
still persevere in it.
THE TITLE MANIA.
Perhaps the best abused word in the lan-
guage is “ professor. ’,’ There appears to be
a mania for attaching it to all sorts and con-
ditions of men. Time was when the word
carried with it a certain significance, but
nowadays that significance is found only in
its insignificance. A fledgling of one-and-
‘twenty, who, to use the expression of Eph-
raim Smooth, “rubbeth the hair of the
horse against the bowels of the ca ," or, in
in other words, plays the fiddle, is dubbed a
professor ; the bruiser, whose only ambition
it is to knock out of all semblance, of hu-
manity the face of his opponent, is a “pro-
fessor of the manly art ;" the negro who
polishes your boots for the munificent re-
muneration of 3 cents is perforce aprofessor; '
the collector of the city‘s garbage and the
driver of the street-sweeping machine are
professors; and so also isthc operator to
whose tender mercies you submit your chin
to be reaped, with serious misgivings con-
earning the safety of 'your filroat, and so on
atflnfinitum This maybeall right, for it
isaloveling age, and what right has any
man, no matter what his moral or intellect-
ualstnnding, to possess. and enjoy a title
which his fellow-man, ‘no matter how far
down in the social scale he may be, has not
the same right to appropriate? But, for all
that, the indiscriminate. use of the word .
borders on absurdity, and if there is any
significance whatever in the use of the title;
if it carries with it any particular honor, or
if it is symbolical of any especial fitness as
applied to the teacher of any of the liberal
arts and sciences, then it should be applied
only to those who are entitled by high intel-
lectual standings to rightly Wear it.

English papers relate how the signal man

fate. The signal man at the junction re-
ncivcd a message from the slgnalmadat Con-

signal man, knowing that the Irish mail: was:

accordingly put up all. the signals against the

ment the engine came straightinto the junc-
tion at full speed. swept round the corner,
«lashing past all the danger signals and dis-
appeared from view down the line toward

lhc signal man that both driver and stoker
must- be asleep. Ho accordingly wired to the
Colwyn Bay Station signal math—“Engine
coming; driver asleep; put fog signals 'on
line." The man at ColwynBay was finally
prompt, for-running out of his box, he had
hardly-time to lay a number of signals when-
lhe engine came thundering along and an ex-
plosion followed which effectually awoke the
men. The engine was stopwd’aud run back
into a siding. when it was disoovccd that the
tire had gone out, that. the water had disap-
.peared from the boiler and that the men had
been asleep some time. Enquiry resulted in
their immediate discharge. They had'been
fifteen hours on duty.

Fourteen years is along time in which to suffer,
yet Mr. Peter- Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, had led a,
miserable life for that period through the essence
