Applying certain measurements to < scarcely visible film of silver, Hen Wiener arrivos at the conclusion that no less than 125,000,000 molecules of silvci must be laid in line to measure an inch. In a collection of poisonous fishes non on exhibition at Havre is a very pecu liar Tetrodon from the Japan Sea, which is sometimes used a means of suicide.

Having 300 times the sweet ening power of cane sugar, this remarka ble product is adapted to many uses. It is expected to be especially valuable in medicine on account of its absolute . harmless ness. In addition to supplying crops with necessary moisture, rain has a distinct manured value. At Hothamstead, the well-known farm of Sir John B. I.awcr, it has been shown that, with an annual rainfall of a little less than 32 inches, each acre of land receives every year in the rain water over 14 pounds of pure chlorine, and between two and three pounds of ammonia. An English inventor proposes to im Erove, by condensation and hardening le uarrtns Os small arms, tunes anu tlie like in their finished state; this to be ac complished by subjecting them to a pres sure of 500 or more tons while they are immersed in water in a strong vessel, the operation being performed by hydraulic pressure caused by a heavy hammer fall ing on a piston which closes said vessel. Artificial refrigeration is proving of great economic value. Besides its appli cation to the manufacture of ice in warm countries, the principle is well adapted to the cooling of air, and rooms arc fit ted up with coils of pipe by which any desired temperature can be continuously kept up, cither just above the freezing point or many degrees below it. Ocean steamers arc now supplied with this ap paratus, and the temperature of the hold is fcept so low that fresh meat and pro visions can be transported for the longest voyages without injury. The equilibrium of the air is frequently such that the under surface of the clouds is like a ceiling. It is a fair weather sign, whether upon the sea or upon the land. One may frequently see it in a mountainous district, when the fog clouds settle down, and blot out all the tops of the mountains without one fleck of vapor going below a given line which runs above every valley as uniform as the sea level. It is probable that in fair weather the atmosphere always lies in regular strata in this way, and that it is the displacement and mixing up of these by some unknown cause that produces storms. The economy of superseding horses by electricity on street railways is still some thing of an open question, but it is not likely to remain so long. Much that has been claimed in this direction, says an eminent electrical authority, has hardly been based on practical fact. Professor Keckcnzaun says that in the present rnn/lit.ion of tlw* filnraop* bnttory eystfim not more than forty per-cent, of the power collected from the steam engine and applied to the dynamo can be recov ered in work. But this, he says, makes the storage system cheaper than horse traotion. Professor lieckenzaun, like many others, is a believer in the future of the so-called storage battery. It is yet in the state of experimentation, and there are those who believe that the present compares with that of the future scarcely more favorably than did Watt's kettle with the steam-engine of fifty years later. Tortngas Island. Commander Ullmann, a retired oflicci of the Hungarian army, who is now trav eling in this country, is the owner of the Tortugas Island, about which the Hay tian and British Governments had quitea controversy some time ago. Tortugas Island is considered valuable for a naval station, as it has the best advantages for the large ships of war and several natu ral harbors. Great Britain, it was said, wanted the island for this purpose, ami the United States were also interested in it for this reason. The British Govern ment threatened to seize the island on ac count of a claim of $1,000,000, but this was settled by the payment of SIBO,OOO. The ilaytian Government owned the island, and was in need cf funds. When they were pressed for the claim they speedily raised the money in Paris, and the next thing we hear is that the island was purchased by Commander Ullmann. He regards his purchase as a valuable one, as it commands an easy mode of travel to the Panama Canal. The new owner of the island is anxious for the United States to assume the dominion of the island. He has offered the island to this •fiflMlWMfonvCT^ easy terms. _ The tracts of timber land.

Half a century ago seven humble shoe makers in a shop in Hamburg undertook the work of evangelization on the principle of individual responsibility. In twenty years they had organized fifty churches, gathered ten thousand converts, distributed four hun dred thousand Bibles and eight million pages of tracts, and preached the Gospel to fifty millions of people. As they went from place to place, the work grow, and now con verts, inspired with similar zeal, became helpers; so that a population as great as that of the United States, or of the Congo Free State, heard the Gosjiel within those twenty years. If any are distrustful of mere arith metic as applied to the problem of missions, here is a practical proof that it is perfectly feasible so to organize the work as to reach a hundred millions of people every year, and that, too, with only an insignificant Gideon’s band.—[Rev. A. T. Pierson, D. D. From Africa to Glory. Mrs. De necr, writing of the (for the present disbanded) Bemta School, says: Nearly all the girls we dismissed hnd re ceived sufficient education to fit them for any position they will be called to occupy. Since our last cojpiraunion six of the members of our church have been called to the church above; all died in the faith, and some of them in full triumph. One was a younger sister of Ulunda (in tho group of* Benita women, June Woman's Work), and hail been accustomed to look up to her for eounsel, but when near tho end, sho said: “Now you can teach me no more, Jesus has sent for me to come, and he will lie my teacher.” Another said: “This room is full of glory; they are coming for me,” and so she passed away. Wo can but rejoice that they are safely over, for their lives hold much of temptation and little joy. Our Mis sion is weak in numbers, and wo hardly know what the near future holds for us, but One knows, and we can trust Him.— [Woman’s Work for Woman. To the Christian Public. Thoughtful men are convinced that the closing years of the 19th century constitute a momentous crisis in the history of the nation. There is a march of events which will not tarry. The necessity of planting Christian iuetitutinnu in the formative west, and of strengthening them in the older states, the duty of overtaking the rapid growth of our cities with adequate church provision, the importance of closing the widening chasm between the church and the multitude, and of bringing tho regenerative flower of the Gospel to bear upon every character and life, demand the instant attention of the Christian church and the full exercise of all its ener gies. Popular education has multiplied wants and created tastes which wealth nas not l»een sufficiently distributed to gratify; hence a growing discontent among workingmen, which in prosperous times is an ill onion, sug gesting grave questions concerning the next financial panic and the consequent industrial depression. The conii ct with the saloon drawing to a crisis, and the manifest deter mination of the liquor power to accomplish its ends by fraud, corruption, or violence: a wide-spread spirit of lawlessness; tho apathy of the popular conscience; the alienation of the masses from tho churches, ami increasing immigration—all these point to growing com plications in the near future. Under monarchial governments, men have thought that if power could be popularized the ills of life would mostly disappear. In this country, until recently, by reason of abundant public lands, a sparse and sub stantially homogeneous population and an almost limitless demand for labor, wo have been exempt from many of the evils suffered by European peoples. But we are now be ginning to approximate European conditions of society. The existence of great cities, severe competition, an unemployed class, increasing pauperism and crime, are the oc casion and evidence of a widespread discon tent, for which tho ballot affords no remedy. Has not the time come for us to make dem • onstration of tho truth that tho Gospel can do what popular suffrage cannot do? Is not enis the nation, and is not this the generation providentially called to make such applica tion of tho Gospel to the life of the people as has never ‘yet been made? Will not'those who have enjoyed “government of the people by tho people, and for the people” lie the first to loam that the essential evils of society aro caused not by misrule, but by sin, and that the Gospel, therefore, must tarnish tho solu tion of the great social problem? The Christian Church has not yet fully recognized its relations to the. entire lif<?&( Christian men, preoccupied with private con cerns and overburdened by the demands on their time, are prone to neglect the public welfare, and are loath to accept any reftpon* Ability for existing evils. Denominations and local churches, each in tent on its own good work, have fallen into a harmful competition instead of engaging in an intelligent and comprehensive co-opera tion. Our marvellous material growth and the progress of invention have produced new conditions to which business has been quick to adapt its methods. Do not important changes in population and in the habits and temjier of the people require some changes in tho methods of Christian work? The undersigned, therefore, unite in calling a General Conference of all Evungelical Christians in the United Btates, to be held under the auspices and direction of the Evangelical Alliance for the United States, in the city of Washington, December the 7th, nth, and 9th, 1887, to study in effect the fol lowing questions: Ist.

Bungay, in National Advocate, Why Neal Dow Hates Rum. If a man wishes to engage in a business that insures long life let him become a mild-man nered apostle of prohibition, writes tho Port land correspondent of the Boston Herald. Here is General Neal Dow, now nearly eighty four, us youthful and ns fresh as at forty. Whether you are a Prohibitionist or not, you would enjoy an evening with him. Hitting in his study the other night he told mo how it happened that he first undertook the big task of abolishing the liquor traffic. 1 have never told the story in public, he said, nor lias it ever been printed. Jt was a goo<l many years ago. I was sitting in this same house ono evening Quite late. In answer ing a knock at the door l found a lady whom I knew very well as tho wife of a Govern ment official in this city. He was a peri odical drunkard, and on this very night was down town on a spree. His wife wished me to get him home quietly, because if ho was drunk the next Jo)- 1« mifthf. loco ki« pouitinn I stftrtod out and found him in the back room of a down-, town saloon. That was in the days of li cense in Maine. I said to the keeper in a quiet way: “I wish you would sell no more liquor to Mr. Blank.” “Why, Mr. Dow,” ho said, “this is my business; 1 must supply my customers.” “That all may be,” I replied, “but here is this gentleman with a large fam ily depending on him for support If he goes to his office to-morrow drunk he will lose his place. I wish you would sell him no more.” He liecanie somewhat angry and told me that he, too, had a family to support; that he had a license to sell liquor to whoever he pleased, and that he didn’t care to have me meddling in his business. “Ho you have a ’"cerise, have you?” said I, “and you support your family by destroying that man’s. We’ll see about this.” I went home thoroughly determined to devote my life to suppressing the liquor traffic in the best way possible. The Maine law originated in that rum shop. There is a good deal that is remarkable about this old gent leman with but one idea. Through business, through the war, and now in his retired life, it has tieen prohibition and nothing but prohibition with him. “I eat well, sleep well, and never fret,” ho said in explaining his youthful old age. “There is lots of youth for the man who doesn't fret,” and he lives up to his doctrine. His daily life is very regular, and by sunset he ends bis work for the day. He invariably rises at five o’clock, and spends about two hours with his papers, being careful not to miss anything touching on his favorite topic. By this time breakfast is ready—a simplo meal, without coffee; but he does drink tea. lie then clears up his correspondence, which amounts to ten or fifteen letters a day. Then comes the regular drive down town. After that he spends a couple of hours with his pen. 1 Just now he is writing a history of the Maine law, which is soon to bo published. He sj tends about four hours a day on this, and after dinner be takes another drive and spends the rest of the day in the library with his family. Nine o'clock finds him dreaming of prohibition.— New York Graphic. The Results of Persuasion. Years have been spent in persuading men to stop drinking intoxicating liquors, says George R. Scott, in the Witness. Inebriate Homes have also been started with the hopj that tho influences there exerted, and the good food there given, might lead to a better way of living. One by one these Homes have close 1 ! their doors. Thegin-milis outside have proved too powerful a temptation; and the doctrine of an appetite taken away has oft n failed the victim in his hour of need. While on a visit to one of these institutions a gentle mau informed me that lie had no doubt of the reformajon of his friend. “In this estab -1 slinient he has spring chicken in-tend of scolding from his wife.” After listening for about fifteen minutes to the history of tho young inebriate and the way he had treated his wife, employer and children, [ could not help remaining:” “I don’t think spring chicken will cure your friend; if this institution had a cat-of-nine tails aud a strong man to apply it to his l*ack there would be more hope of his reform.” Spring chicken as a premium for wrong-doing ougfit to lie “played-out” by this time. Look over the list of drunkards that you ere acquainted with; think of the mean acta they have committed, and tell me if you think they deserve spring chicken for break fast. Home of that delicious dish for the poor afflicted wives and uoglected children would be more in kieping with common sense. i know many will say: “But, Mr. Scott, the men arc sick?” Those who are afflicted with the same disease, and have no friends, aro sent to Blackwell s Island, where there are no luxuries; but they soon get well ami trim tho scales with ten or twenty pounds added to their weight on tho day they first put in ap pearance there. There has been enough of persuasion (good as it is) to convert every drunkard in Uiit country years ago. it rolls off them like water from a duck’s back. They drink to get drunk, and drink to get sober. In a ma jority of cases u pale, sick, dying wife has no power to change the course of the majority of them. The toes sticking out of tho shoes of their children on a cold Novem ber day is an argument that they will not heed. I once heard a drunkard tell his little girl to keep her toes warm by putting them in her mouth! Ought he to have chicken meat or a kick from the t*»o of the first strong man wearing a No. 10 cow-hide boot? lYnmasion has been the rage for years, ami stiil brute-making goes on—the manufacturer and manufactured drunkard both laughing to scorn the public attempts to stop the fac tories. dogs to lie quietly in their kfiinelg?'' mljl don't people seek to protect themselves from burglars oy persuasion? Because they have too much sense in these matters. Temperance Nows and Notes. The three Grand Lodges of (food Totnplan in Houth Africa have each a lecturer in the field.
