Enail M tzger mentions that he once saw, with some difficulty, Keizer- spickt, in Sumatr.a, when distant 110 English miles; and he also made out (lug Merapi, in .Tava, when ISO miles away. From the Piz Muraun, near Dis- sentis, E. Hill has seen Mont Blane, tVie iaterveninir sp.ice measuring al>out 110 mlli-m. J. ettiirkio Oirdnor atatem ttoit Mont Blanc Is visible from the Piz Laii- gard, though d'slant about three degrees. In Greenland, Mr Whyinper beheld a mountain from which he was separated by 150 miles; and from Marseilles, Zuch saw. Mount Canigon at a distance of 158 miles. The whole range of the Swiss Alps has been looked upon by J. Hippisley while 200 miles away, while Sir W. Jones has affirmed that the Him alayas have appeared to view from the distance of 224 miles.

A cargo which recently arrived at the E ist India docks in London consisted of over 30, 000 frozen carcasses of mutton in excel lent condition. This contribution to the food supply of London came from the Falkland Islands, where there are now more than 600,000 sheep. The Lon don Timss says: “The curctisscs brought over are described as being those of sheep of prime Canterbury type, well fleshed, and with no supoi fluous waste ful fat, and they average from si.xty to seventy pounds each. S lies have been ( fleeted of portions of the cargo at over 5d. per pound.” The colonists have hitherto contented themselves with what they could realize from the wool, skins and tallow to be obtained from their sheep, bat now, in consequence at this most recent development in refrige^ing machinery by means of cold,dry air,fhey will be able to send their mutton to the English market, not only to their own advantage, but dlteo to that of the con- Bumf.rs over there; and there appears to lie every reason to expoct.tU-.it tUo enter prise which has been entered into in so practical manner will result in a com plete success. One of the striking peculiarities of the earthquake is the terror with which it inspires human creatures as well as brutes. There is no other fear which resembles it known to the human mind. When the low rumbling is heard from the depths of the earth all animation seems suspended for a brief instant. The very heart seems to cease to beat, and the intellect becomes paralyzed-. This condition of mind and body lasts but a moment. It is followed by a terrible, but vague fear of some awful danger, the nature of which is quite incomprehensi ble. The mind jumps rapidly and with out reasoning to the conclusion that flight offers the only safety, and the body acts upon the conclusion at once. Men, women and children rush headlong into the street, by the stairways, and doors if they happen to be convenient, by plunging from the windows if they happen first to attract the attention. And it is in this wild rush for imagined safety that the real danger of the earthquake lies, but no experience in the past has been sufficient to enforce this lesson, and the probability is that no experience in At theag-- of twenty-six I went to live in a graveyar'l, and 1 offer this circuni- slancu 1>» proof tliMt 1 w«» not « norvou* itr Bupt-rstitiouv iM-rson, Ifo'l I l>ccn eilht-r, I would h ive -.elected a leis grue some dwelling-place 1 do not pretend th:it I preferred a graveyard to any other place of re-i- ylence. Gn the contrary, if 1 had lieen questioned on the subjCit, I would have said that a cemetery was a uood eno-jgh place for a dead man, but that it was not good enough for a live one; neverthele.«s tiwro were considc ation* strong enough ! to induce me to to go there to live. I knew the sexton of the village church. This man aud his good wile lived in a cottage in the cemetery, and they suggested that I should have uiy board and lodgings under their roof. I was a young barrister then with .iitiiiuch practice or inc -me. and I was obliged to economize. I owned a very large lilirary, and required more room than the hall- bedroom that is the usual habitation of the “single gcntl man” in lodging- houses. The sexton offered me two roomy apartments aud my board at .so low a figure that I was glad to acciqit his terms. 1 had an almost ovcrwhelmir.g dos re to save money. IS’ot that 1 was naturally penurious, but I had a st:ong incentive in Aliss Ethel Hartley. I had he m en gaged to .Mi-s Hartley for many months, but had not yet been able t'O o Icr her a home. Allot my energies we;edevoted tooneob;e(t—i. c., to (aniiiig a home for the w oman who was to b ■ my wife. I reflected that my cheap l-idgiiigs would help me accomplish this objei t. and 1 would have cheerfully con.sciited to live in a charnel-house, if by -so doing I could have haitened my wedding day. It was the .sexton’s duty t > d'g the graves, to k 'cp the g ounds in order, and to protect them from vandalism. In order to facilitate his labors, his cottage had been built in the middle of the ceme tery, and was on a little knoll, from which lie could cominaud a view of the surrounding premises. It was built of gray stone, and externally was so like a mausoleum that it would be d llicult to till! onu ft-om the other. It was cerlil'niy not a cheerful place, and th-r S’aults and graves about it gave it an air of lonesome solemnity that 1 will not attempt to describe. I had a suspicion th.at Ethel would dis approve of m;.' removal to the sexton’s cottage, so I did not mention the matter to her until all my. arranucmouts had been made. I did not wish to be per suaded to abandon it. The sexton had .assured me tliat 1 would find Iris “a nice, quiet place, ’ where 1 could read and study without being disturbed by any noise of any visits from my neighbor.-;. He made an effort to he jocose, ami ar sun'd me that I would “tind ’i m a hcaji le.^s trouble some than any other ncigUb'^r;. ’ I was indisposed to be ( riiieal of my new quarters. .My ro ms were hirge, clean and airy; my food was abundant and wholesome, and mine host and hostess were thoroughly respectable. But there w as one thing about the cot tage that I seriously disliked, and that was its name. 1 do not mean its repu tation, for tl.at w.is above reproa'-h . but it had been name ! “Heath’s l.odge.’’ I cannot imagine why tliii name had been given to the only place in the cemc:ery, where Heath was not )ire c.d and where living creatures existed.

While I was wondering I wit- nc.sscd a sight that almost cau.scd my heart to cease beating. I saw a head rise slowly out of the grave and stop above it. I stood motionless for a mo- ! inent, while my eye; were fixed upon this object. I could see that a ghastly face was turned tow-ard me Then I for got that I was not superstitious. I for got that I had laug’ned at Ethel’s fears. I forgot that I had bean willing to face any glios. of my si :c that could be jiro- duced. I f.irgot everything but the .staring countenance that arose from th;^‘ new-made grave. I had always been counted a strong man aud courageous, but I confess that on this occasion I was very weak. I did not wait to intervi -w the apparition. I turned like a cowaid, and ran from it with all the blind fleet ness of fear. I h,ad not run far when I was brought to a full and sudden stoji.

For some minutes I stood thinking of what I had seen, and was undecided whether to advance or to retrace my steps. I confess that I was tempted to leave the graveyard to sleep th-it night at tha village inn. But upon reflection I decided that this would be a foolish proceeding. I had still some effects at the Lodge, which I would have to pack and carry with me on the morrow. I thought of making a wide detour around the new grave, but I did not like to be driven out of my path by an intangi ble thing tl at I did not understand. I began to have a suspicion that I was the ! victim of a practical joke,or of an optical ; delusion. I resolved to continue in my ■ former path, and to force myself to pass very close by the new grave. I further resolved that I would never tell Ethel that her prophecies conc.rnlng my superstition had come true. I fixed ray eyes upon the grave, and went slowly toward it. Even after all this deliberation my heart beat furiously, and my head swam until I could scarcely control my movements. My nerves were most ])ainfully alive to ray melancholy surroundings. But I went forward until I was " ithin twenty pac-cs of the grave. Then I stopped, for slowly and mysteri ously rose up that horrible head that had driven me back Lefore. It came, as be fore. out of the grave. I saw its ashen countenance, its sunken eyes, its wi’d, dishe; eled ha r, aud I could not face it.

The ma h u- and in' us, the little mallet and anvil shaped bones in the middle ear, after an open ing to them li'id been made, were found to be held in position, a though there were evident mark' of caries or dcconi position, and the tensor tympani muscle was severed. From the condition in which these bon s were found it was c i , dent that they would have to b" re moved, as they would oiil. c ntinue to decay and nullify whatever else might be don •. The little nerve wliich give- the sharp, darting iiam wlien tie-drum head is touched from the o .Iside by a foreign substance was then severed, and this brought into full view the i-mg pro cess of the malleus. Tiny foreejis. which looked like a plaything, were put into the ear and the end of the malleus wai seized.

A M a'hington scientist has discovered a remedy for mosquitoes- two remedies, in fa t. He has found that if the pre dacious in-ects have a cha icj to sting a tender infant, they will not trouble them- selve? about adult humanity. If the in fant is Ddt available, a sliced apple is equally, fciheacious. The mosquito, it seems, is pissionately fold of apple juice. The experiment is easily tried, and is perhaps w orth trying, but if there is any virtue in. it. how happens it that the land of appiejS' k and mosquitoes beyond the Delaware 'lij not discover the antidote long Inquirer^ pended at this point, ping the bleeding wa* long an.t tedious. | “iin in go( For a time it ap;«ared as if it could not , satisfy the be checked and that the patient woul 1 ‘ ' bleed to death.

A numb r of .students wh'» were present were invit-d by the surgeon to take a look at the ear. .-everal of t lem looked through the speculum, and one of them asked the surgeon what a bright shining point was that apt eared near the Eustachian tube The surgeon ha*! never known of the jircsence of sm h a thing, and had h - ey at the ear in a second.
