In St. Louis, says one of- its news- papers, four-fifths of the inhabitants have taken to chewing gum. . . Twenty-one thousand widows of soldiers of the warof 1812 are stated to be still drawing pensions from the Gov- vernment. ' ‘ , It'is reported that a ruby found in Clay county, N. 0.. was sold by the finder for $15, then for $3,000. and, after being cut by a lapidary, for $18,- 000. The project of having policemen de- tailed daily to weigh coal delivered 'to the customers at retail, and see that the fullweight is given, is now agitated in SanFrancisco. . A Detroit telephone got out of order 311d the man who was sent to fix it up discovered that a hole had been punched in the instrument by somebody 'who had innocently thought he could hear better through it that way. It is said that by the following simple method almost instant relief of earache is -'fi‘orded. Put five drops of chloroform on a little cotton or Wool in the bowl of a clay pipe, then blow the vapor through the stem into the aching ear. , Church bells from a Baltimore foundry are in demand in England. Already China, West Africa, Nova'Scotia, New- foundland, the West Indies 'and parts of South America have drawn upon the same establishment for its silver-toned bells. -A California newspaper recently con- tained an article on the subject of the increase of insanity in that State, and the writer’s explanation of the increase is that a free use of flesh meat by im- migrants previously used to a vegetable diet causes the trouble. . Prejudice against, educating the female sex is always great in Mohamrhedan and Hiudoo countries; but the persistence and zeal of the self-denying female mis- sionaries have 'finally broken through Eastern custom and tradition, 'and there is now a growing demand for girls' schools in British India, at least. The usual remedy for snake bites in India and Australia is ammonia injected into the veins of the arm. After this is done the sufferer is kept moving about until the effects .of the poison have passed ofi‘. This treatment has been used in cases of rattlesnake bite .with the happiest results. A Powhatan (Ohio) woman gave a warm reception to railroad surveyors who attempted to lay out a line through her yard contrary to her wishes. The first surveyor escaped with-his hat rid- dled with shot from her revolver, while the second man” was driven into a mud pond at the point of the pistol, leaving all his tools, which she captured. An‘orchardist at Santa Barbara, C:Il., according to the Independent of that plnm‘, has over 20,000 fruit trees under cultiva- tion in a single fruit ranch, including 1,000 olive trees, 1,200 orange, 500 lcmon. 500 lime, 10,000 almond, 4,000 walnut, 2,- 500 apricot, apple, peach, pear, cherry. nectarine, and plum, with 200 Japanese ' persimmon, besides figs, loquats, and plums. The beg peat of Mexico is now being used on a considerable scale as fuel for locomotives, stationary engines, snlclt- ’ ing purposes, smiths’ fires and lions..- hold use. The peat is mixed with ll proper proportion of bitumen, and is said not only to burn freely, and without smoke in much quantity, but to gin; a higher dynamic equivalent of heat than the same amount of wood. ' Apoor woman, in Paris picked up a parcel which contained human flesh that some medical students had thrown into the street as a sort of “practical joke.” Discovering the nature of her “find," the woman was quite frightened, and sought to dispose of the slices of flesh by stuffing it down a grating.I Tile police took her in custody,-and but for the safe shelter of a' prison the poor creature would have been lynched by the mob that, mob-like, refused to accept her explanation. William H. Vanderbilt is not the richest . man in the world ; the colony of Victoria has a man whois worth $200, 000,000, and his wealth j rapidly increasing. This lucky man is a Lord Rupertswood. By his father’s will he fell heir to 2,500,000 ' merino sheep, 300,000 cattle and 3,000,000 . acres of freehold lands, beside a lease- hold of crown lands in England of equal area. By care and thrift he has doubled his inheritance, making it considerably over $200,000,000. His residence in Mela bourne is said to be the most magnificent in the world. It cost $4, 000,000. The town of Selma, Ala, claims to have the most wonderful artesian well in the world, and it would seem with good reason. The remarkable feature in the case is that two separate streams of water, of entirely different properties _fiow from this well. The singular effect in question is produced, it Seems, by the simiile insertion of a two-inch pipe within a four-inch tube. The large pipe 'descends to a depth of some four hun- dred feet; the water having no mineral qualities or character, and being very cold, the inner pipe descends seven hun- dred feet; the water is strongly impreg- nated with sulphur and irl‘, and. com- pared with the temperature of the twin stream, is quite warm. - BIOZART. A great many. curious anecdotes are told of this wonderful composer. Among others related by his biographer, it' is said that his charity was once appealed toin the street by an old acquaintance who had seen better days. Mozart put his hand into his pocket, but found nothing there; the discovery way em- barrassing and painful under such cir- cumstances, but immediately an idea oc- curred to that great genius ; he requested the man to wait—stepped into a coffee- room, and there instantly composed a minuet, folded up the paper and gave it to the applicant, recommending him. to take it to the music-dearler in the city, who, when he saw the contents, would give him something. The man received- five louis (1'ch. It is needless to observe that the minuet is considered a master- piece, it being the production of an artist who composed nothing but masterpieces. ——.._...,._. FAMILY TIES 0F COMETS. ___b There is a family of comets attending in. a sense on Jupiter, and another family attending similarly on Saturn, precisely as we should expect them to do if originally expelled from these planets. After such expulsion, though free to pass away forever from their parent planets, they would not be free to pass away from the solar system. They would be thenceforth attendant on the sun, but with this peculiarity, that no matter what perturbations they underwent, their paths would always pass near to the path of their parent planet.‘ Even if in some future circuit a comet of this sort came quite close—as it very well might—to the planet it originally started from, it would still, though very much disturbed, follow - a path possessing this characteristic, however difierent from the path which it had before traversed. After many mil- lions of yams, indeed, it might happen,' perchance, that resistance encountered, in its movement around the sun, however ineffective to affect its orbit appreciably in a few thousands of years, would re- duce the span of its circuit. But even then it would still be possible to cluesify 'a comet whose orbit had been so changed with the family of comets to which it had . originally belcnged. __ p _ .

Mr. J. A. Pond, of the New-Zeland In— stitute, has given an account of the rare. discovery of platinum in a vein. It has been found in octahedral crystals in a. What ought to be a very durable paint has been made of very finely powdered :zinc, mixed with oil and sicative. A var- uieh is thus produced which may be 0P' .plied with a brush in the ordinary way. A stalactite cavern is salt! to have been discovered in the neighborhood of Cer‘ doll, in the Department of Aiu, France, neur’ the 'road connecting Lyons with Geneva. Only a few country people are alleged to have entered it for any con- siderable distance. ' Gladysz, of Marseilles, crystallizes a solution of aluminum chloride by evapo- rating it to 25° or 30° 13., and then con- tinuing the continuation in a closed vcs- sel in which the pressure of the atmos- phere has been reduced to 20 or 22 inches of mercury, where the solution can- be evaporated to dryness, or the crystals be separated [from the mother liquor in .a _ Centrifugal machine. M. Durand has published an important paper on spontaneous combustion in col. lieries. As the engineer of the Doyet collieries, in the Department of Allier, France, he has had great opportunities of examining all ,the conditions under which subterranean fires occur. He re- fers spontaneous. combustion to three causes—the oxidation of iron 'pyrites in the coal, friction from slipping, and heat of air current. Vaccination performed once does not act as a preventive of smallpox after a certain length of time has dapsed. An examination of the statistics of this dis‘ case shows that of those who had taken it and had been vaccinated in infancy, 90 per cent. are oyer 10 years of age, while only 10 per cent. are under 10 ycarsbf- age. Re-vaccination at intervals, say, of seven years, is the only known effective measure for protection. I The manager of the gasworks at De- venter, Holland, has had recourse to this plan for preventing stoppages in his as- cension pipes : Heinserts in the mouth- piece end of the retort, immediately after charging, a sheet of' iron .which fits the retort as closely as possible, and has‘in, the middle a hole equal in area to the as- cension pipe. The tarry 'vapors, heavy oils, and carbon dust are for the greater part arrested by. this plate, and are there- by prevented from rising ,a few feet higher and condensing on the interior surface of the ascension pipe. I Some laborers taking clay Out of the Ancholme Valley at Brigg, Lincolnshire, England, came recently upon a very an-V cient wooden way at a. depth of about. seven feet from the surface of the earth. It consists of heavy beams of oak laid transversely and fastened 'to the underly- ing glacial drift - by oak pins. It is thought that this way extends nearly across the valley, and that it was built by neolithic men. At any rate there are six feet of clay on the top of it, depOsited by overflows of the Humber; above the clay there is about a foot deep of peat, and on the stratum of peat the Romans had made roads. Mr. Reckenzaun, the Engineer is in- formed, is endeavoring to. overcome the various difficulties connected with the use of secondary batteries, and has worked out a system for working street car mile. than is possible either with horses, steam, or compressed air. The rails laid down for horse traction are sufficiently strong for his car, and the load is distributed in such a way that with near loaded ‘toits maximum num- ber of 46 passengers the pressure upon any pair of wheels will not exceed two and one-half tons. The motor, whicl! was exhibited at the Society of Arts, London, is light in comparison to the power it deve A process for nickel plating without the battery has been described by Stolba, who claims that by means of it he is able to coat satisfactorily small articles of zinc, cast and wrought iron, steel, and copper. A concentrated solution of chloride of zinc, diluted with twice its volume of water, is boiled in a copper vessel, adding a few drops of muriatic acid should there appear a precipitate of basic chloride of zinc. When the in- troduction of a small quantity‘of pow- dcred' zinc causes a deposit. of zinc upon the vessel, enough chloride or sulphate 0f nickel is added to the bath to give it a distinctly green color, and then the pre- viozlsly cleansed articles are plunged into the liquid in contact with zinc,‘ about 15 minutes, the boiling tempera, ‘ ul-e. being kept up mmwhfle. If the lbjects are not at first coated sufficiently, In: immersion is repeated until the , ire-ll thickness of deposit is obtained. ' ' THE firm: on A EEKDER. Fora life of labor in .the service of others, says a writer in the San FAnciso , chronicle, sheepherding is the most indo- p ndent in the world. Everything per: taming to the immediate welfare of the flock is left to the discretion of the her- der. This is necessarily the case, as the “range ” is usuallyremote from the home “of thevowner, who. visits the camp as sel- dom as is consistent with a proper supply of. provisions and an eye to the ultimate profits. The successful herder, there- fore, takes 'an interest in the property intrusted to his care. He must possess considerable judgment and staying quali- ties, and, in crowded ranges, sufficient. combativness to enable him to “stand railways electrically at a smaller cost per ' where they are allowed to remain for . moofifi DANBURY a NORWALK R.‘R ‘ Commencing June em, 1884. nAILr,TnAINs South- ~Lv; Norwalk, Lv .80.
