Royal Row.
Last night, in the Market saloon, a mill
occurred between Thos. Bohle and Nelse
Peterson, which lasted some ten minutes
and was characterized by trhe greatest
equality of muscle. The keeper of the
saloon, with the other spectators, enjoyed
the amusement, which was suddenly and
summarily brought to a finish by officer
Jim Tierney who jerked the pugilists asun-
der and duly recorded their names on the
police docket.

Yesterday mayor Leonard signed the
commission^ of those patrolmen who had
qualified and signed an agreement to ac-

trary notwithstanding. The same agree-
ment fixes the pay of sergeants of police
at $75* Almost all of those whose names
make up the police rolls had signed and

the new fprce early in the morning re-
garding the. advisability of scratching
their names from the agreement.

The Shootists Return.
Messrs. A Cannon. L. B. Da Ponte, A.
R. Mabrv and J. C. Walker have returned
from Waco, where they entered the lists
against the gun clubs of the state. Mr. H.
Da Ponte, who completed the Galveston
delegation, did not return, having some
business of a private nature which de-
manded his remaining in Waco. The Gal-
veston gunners are not well pleased with
the result of the contest, as they were
practically ruled out of competition in all
but the few first matches. After these it
became evident that the Galveston delega-
tion were too able for the other con-
testing clubs, and consequently there
was no wish on their part to
meet the Island City boys. A number
of objections were made to Mr. L. B. Da
Ponte on the grounds that he was a non-
resident of the state, that he was a profes-
sional, etc.; but these were met first by a
general denial, and an offer to put up the
required forfeit in case the objections were
sustained. However, as the majority of
the gun clubs were unwilling to compete,
Mr. Cannon, who represented Galveston
team, withdrew them from the matches in
the interest of harmony. By next year
the objectors may be able to draw the
bead sufficiently fine to allow them to ad-
mit the Galveston gunners to a full and
free contest.
Doss and Their Doings.
A gentleman, whose name could not be
ascertained, was on Thursday evening set
upon by a savage dog, on Winnie street,
and bitten severely in the leg.
A dog, supposed to be suffering from hy-
drophobia, created no little consternation
on Postoffice street, between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth, this morning, snapping at
everybody and everything he passed, until
he met a man with a hammer in hand,
whom he attacked and by whom he was
killed.
Yesterday morning Mr. W. F. Seiffert
was pursuing his business of furnishing his
customers with bread, when he was at-
tacked by two does belonging to Mrs.
Marinas, on Market, near Eighteenth
street. While one set upon him in front,
the other downed him from behind, and
he weald ixi all probability hart been torn
ordinance of this city is susceptible of im-
provement. The existing cjfy law merely
requires that canines shall be taxable and
shall not run at large. Dangerous dogs
are of no earthly account against tUe de-
predations of thieves, as night-workers are
sufficiently adept to dose the animals be-
fore opening operations. For the purposes
of protection a loud-mouthed, cowardly
fice or a hunting dog is the very best breed
of canines, and it is suggested that such an
ordinance be framed and passed at the
next regular meeting of the council.
Securing Sand and Bisposlnc of
Garbage,
The arrest of Theodore Hess on Thurs-
day opened afresh the great sand war. He
was arrested by Capt. Atkins for taking
sand from the beach between 12th and
loth streets. Mayor Leonard, upon the
trial, testified that he had ordered the
overseer of streets to take the sand from
the beach in order to fill some other place,
and recorder Brosig, upon the merits 01
the case being heard, dismissed the charge
against Hess. The mayor thereupon in-
structed Mr. Hickey, overseer of streets,
to prosecute the orders already given him
ana take the sand from the beach.
A reporter was sent yesterday evening
to the beach to see the modus operandi of
removing the sand. He found a man near
the foot of loth street engaged in digging
a trench behind the salt cedars which
were lately planted on the gulf-shore. His
dual duty seemed to be to dig the trench
and bury what 'garbage is being brought
to that locality by the city carts. No sand
was being taken away at the time the re-
porter was on the ground, but several
garbage carts made their appearance and
dumped their loads in the trench. Most of
the garbage is of a dry and inoffensive
character, but there is nevertheless a per
rentage of the same which is composed of
noisome slop and an occasional dead
chicken.
This is the carrying out of a plan which
the mayor some time ago presented to the
board of health. In the discussion which
followed its reading the members of the
board were unwilliag to indorse the plan,
and threw the responsibility of carrying
it out upon its proposer by resolving that
the garbage should be disposed of as the
mayor might direct. Mr. Leonard has
taken the matter in hand, the inaugural
ditch has been dug. the first cartload of
sand has been hauled, and the first casW'
has been tried and decided in the mayor's
favor.
The reporter found Mr. Hickev, the
street overseer, and asked him if he had
received instructions from the mayor to
have the sand carted away. He replied
that he would have been unwilling to take
the responsibility of the action himself,
but in this matter he oonsidered that he
was a merely executive functionary. The
mayor had taken the responsibility of or-
dering him to have the sand removed, and
he, as overseer of streets, certainly in-
tended to carry out his instructions. He
further stated' that he would order the
work to begift this morning. He admitted,
upon being questioned, that he had heard
some loud complaints in that section of
the city from a number of citizens, but he
did not conceive it his duty to consider
these, as the complaints should be made to
the mayor and not to him.
Alderman Wegner, of the eleventh ward,
and from the front of whose ward the sana
is now being carted, was found by the re-
porter at his store, corner K and Fifteenth
street. He said that he was much aston-
ished at the decision of the recorder, and
believed that that official would, upon the
hearing of a similar case, and after a more
careful review of the law, decide other-
wise. The plan was of the most danger-
ous character, and senseless in the ex-
treme. In the first place, the city had no
right to take tho sand away. Neither had
it any right to bring the garbage. Any
citizen who would bury upon his own pre-
mises garbage or debris of any kind would
be amenable to the city ordinances for so
doing. He did not see that the city should
exercise a ri^ht which wa9, by its own or-
dinances, strictly prohibited. This trench
of decaying vegetable matter is laid along
the south front of the city. The prevailing
winds of summer are from tne south,
and if any stench is emitted by
this buried garbage, the whole
city will be treated to its delectable efflu-
via. This will cause gjfreat annoyance if
not disease. Carting away the sand is go-
ingj to be a most disastrous experiment.
It is contended that the garbage will fill
up the trench and the sand, whose place is
supplied by the garbage, can then be taken
away without injury to the beach. This
is a mistake. The garbage will sink and
become compressed in a very short time,
leaving a hole or ditch where there is now
a solid bed of sand. The people of his
ward were resolved to fight the scheme to
the bitter end. The reporter suggested
that a rumor was current that
chief of police Atkins had said
it was his duty to carry the existing ordK
nances into effect, and that until the re-
moval of sand was plainly justified by the
authority of council, he would continue
from day to day to arrest every driver of
every cart that attempted to brine sand
away from the beach. Alderman Wegner
said he hoped the rumor was true, for it
was plainly against not only the ordi-
nances, but the very safety of the city.
The News had been for years supporting
a scheme to establish a natural break-
water on the gulf shore. The neces-
sity of some protection on the
gulf side of the city was some-
thing universally conceaed, but until
within a short period ago nothing had
been done. Finally the matter had been
taken in hand, and now from the eaet to
the west end of the city a green cordon of
salt cedars is flourishing. Already the
little cedars have begun to catch the grains
of sand and are day by day, almost imper-
ceptibly, building a long line of sand
banks. The sole object of this experiment
was to get more sand on the beach. Then
why turn around now and proceed to cart
away what we already have, when we are
trying to get more# He again expressed a
hope that the chief of police would follow
out the strict construction of the ordinance
«and arrest all parties taking away the
sand. If the chief did not do so he (Weg-
ner) intended to take up the fight for his
ward, and would make the requisite affi-
davit.
After this conversation the reporter
talked with several residents of the ward,
and they all expressed a determination to
resist the taking of sand, even if the mat-
ter would end in force.
While accompanying alderman Wegner
to the center of the city the reporter came
across alderman Collins, of the ninth
ward. The two aldermen engaged in a
discussion of the same question, and alder-
man Collins expressed himself very clear-
ly and very forcibly upon the plan as being
carried out. He would let alderman Wegner
take up the war, which had originated
in the eleventh ward by the digging of the
trench, but he wanted it understood that
he would represent the citizens of his own
ward to this extent: that that trench
should never be extended into the ninth
ward. He regarded the plan as unwise
and unwarranted. Alderman Wegner
stated to him that the defense made in the
case was that this bed of sand was two or
three feet above grade. Alderman Collins
responded that he did not believe it was
one inch above grade; but even if it was
above grade that did not alter the case in
his mind. He wished it was 5, 10 or 25 feet
above grade, and if it was he would
vote to let it stay just that much
above grade, so that the city might be
properly protected from the gulf.
As the case now stands, to-day will wit-
ness the second act ia the sand tragedy.
Overseer Hickey will order out his men,
and they will be arrested either hy the
chief of police, by virtue of his office, or
by virtue of affidavit made out by alder-
man Wegner.

Syllabus of the Decisions
Of the Court of Appeals or Texas-
Austin Term, 1870.
Manchack Ware vs. State. Appeal from
Travis. In the absence of a statement of
facts and bills of exceptions, this court
can only examine the record' to ascertain
if the indictment and charge of the court
will sustain the judgment of conviction.
In this case the indictment is a geod one,
and the charge of the court is full and un-
exceptionable. Affirmed. White, jud^e.
Bill Davis vs. State. Appeal from Cald-
well. 1. Placing the state's witnesses un-
der the rule will not deprive the district
attorney of the right to confer with them
in a proper manner; this is his privilege,
and, morever, may be regarded as his du-
ty. On this question see 35 Tex., 855; ^
Tex. Ct. App., 150; 4 Tex. Ct. Ap». 645;
and 3 Tex. Ct. App., 294. 2. In the absence
of a statement of facts, we are authorized
to presume, in support of the judgment,
that all the material averments in the in-
dictment, were proved which could be
legally proved under the. See Longley vs.
State, 3 Ct. App.; affirmed; Winkier,
judge.

lam of mm, p. 831,»tinder whtab till mm
was prosecuted. The information in this
case was treated as embracing two counts,
one apparently charging accused with
unlawful practice of meclicine without a
certificate from an authorized board of
medical examiners, as required by the act.
and the other, and opon which accused
was tried, as set out in the indictment * * *
" did then and there engage in the practice
of medicine without first having furnished
the clerk of the district court his certifi-
cate of qualification, said county being the
county in which the said A. did then and
there reside"—following with nega-
tive averments that accnsed was not
within the provisos. (5. Sec.) No question
was raised as to whether the information
contained two counts, but the record shows
that it was so treated, and that the county
attorney, elected to try upon the second
count, and from the record it appears that
the defendant acquiesced in the election.
The motion in arrest of judgment called
in question the sufficiency of the informa-
tion in which it was claimed the violation
of no law of this state was committed, be-
cause it specified no particular branch or
department of medicine practiced. 1. It is
sufficient in indictments for offenses cre-
ated by statute, if the exact language
laid down in the statute is followed.
It was not required that the particu-
lar branch or department of medi-
cine practiced should be set out.
2. As to the necessity of the information
containing negatives of the exceptions
(sec. 5,) see BlasdellJ vs. State, 5 Tex. 263;
Logan vs. State, Id. 306; Smith vs. State.
Id. 319. 3. The court did not err in refus-
ing to charge the jury that '4 a person
who, attending a single case, can not be
adjudged guilty under the law of prac-
tising medicine, even though he held and
filed no certificate as required by law."
Affirmed. Winkler, judge.

Recorder's Court.
removing sand from the beach.
Theodore Hess, arraigned for removing
sand from the beach, was proved to have
taken sand from between 12th and 13th
streets, on the gulf shore. Mayor Leonard
testified that he had ordered the street
commissioner to remove sand from this
place to fill up a hole on the wharf. The
)lace whence sand was taken was three
!eet above the Beauregard grade; and, as
there was no city engineer, he took the
responsibility of giving the order. Capt.
Atkins said he considered it his duty to
make the arrest, as he had no engineer's
certificate in his office showing that the
place from which the sand was taken was
above grade. The recorder thought that
the authority of the mayor was ample, and
dismissed accused.

C. W. Adams admitted violating the fire
ordinance, of the existence of which he
had.no knowledge until his arrest, by re-
ring a wooden building within the fire

Languille. The recorder fined Mr. Adams
$100, but suspended judgment to 26th inst.
to give him an opportunity of petitioning

John Davis was arraigned for assaulting
and striking his wife Svlva Davis. The
striking was proved. John said it was
nothing Vut prejudice. He said he would
no more hurt his darling wife than he
would pull down a house on his head. To
keep him from doing the latter he was
fined $3 or five days in jail; also to fur-
nish a peace bond of $50, or ten days ad-
ditional in jail.

How They Get Ready for Dinner
[Chicago Paper.]
• My dear." said Miss Clara Morris to
Mr. Clara Morris, at the Palmer house
the other day, " are you quite ready fo;
dinner?"
" Awfully quite, my love."
" Have you laid out the paste diamond
for the chambermaid to steal?"
" Yes, ducky."
" Amd written the usual note to the
chief of pel ice readv for mailing?"
4< Everything ready, my pet"
" And ordered a nice, gentle horse to
run away with me to-morrow?"
•' Yes, dear."
"And aent those marked copies of

''Certainly." *
" And did you tell that reporter I in-
tended to buy a $200,000 banana plan-
tation somewhere?"
" All attended to, sweetest."
"Then lit us look unhappy and go
down."
Memories of the Old Kitchen.
Far back in my musings, my thoughts
have been cast
To the cot where the hours of my child-
hood were passed;
I loved all its rooms to the pantry and
hall,
But that blessed old kitchen was dearer
than all.
Its chairs and its table, none brighter
could be.
For all its surroundings were sacred' to
me—
To the nail in the ceiling, the latch on the
door,
And I love every crack in the old kitchen
floor.
I remember the fire-place, with mouth
high and wide,
The old-fashioned oven that stood by its
side,
Out of which, each thanksgiving, came
puddings and pies,
That fairly oewildered and dazzled my
eyes.
And then, too, Saint Nicholas, slyly and
still,
Came down every Christmas, our stock-
ings to fill:
But the dearest of memories I've laid up
in store, ^
Is the mother that trod on that old kit-
chen floor.
Day in and day out, from morning till
night,
Her footsteps were busy, her heart always
light;
For it seemed to me, then, that sha knew
not a care,
The smile vras so gentle her face used to
wear;
I remember with pleasure what joy filled
our eyes,
When she told us the stories that children
so prize;
They were new every night, though we'd
heard them before
Prom her Hps, at the wheel, on the old
kitchen floor.
I remember the window, where mornings
I'd run
As soon as the daybreak to watch f.r the
sun;
And I thought, when my head scarcely
reached to the sill.
That it slept through the night in the trees
on the hill,
And the small tract of ground that my
eyes there could view,
Was all of the world that my infancy
knew;
Indeed, I cared not to know of it more,
For a world of itself was that old kitchen
floor.
To-night tlios. old visions come back at
their will.
But the wheel and its music forever are
still;
The band is moth-eaten, the wheel Jaid
away,
And the fingers that turned it lie moul-
d'ring in clay;
The hearth-stone, so sacred, is just as
:twas then,
And the voices of children ring out there
again;
The sun through the window looks in as of
yore,
But it sees stranger feet on the old kitchen
floor.
I ask not for honor, but this I would crave,
Then when the lips speaking are closed in
the grave,
My ^children would gather theirs round
by their side,
And tell of the mother who long ago died;
'Twould be more enduring, far dearer to
me,
Than inscription on marble or granite
could be.
To have them tell often, as I did of yore,
Of the mother who trod on the old kitchen
floor.
THE GHEAT AMERICAN CA.HA.L.
Pretty "Women and Ambitlou* En-
gineers Rent on Beating Suez in
tile New Vorld.
[London World, April 16.]
There is a very pretty scheme on foot
in Paris just now for floating a Darien
Canal company, which 13 to do for the
Atlantic and Pacific what the Suez canal
did for the Mediterranean and the Red
sea. Mme. Ratazzi and her relations,
the Napoleon Wyses, are said to be in-
terested in it, as well-wishers, and their
good wishes ought to bring a blessing to
any undertaking. The engineers are to
cut clean through the isthmus and unite
the oceans; the rert va saw dire—it
would revolutionize the trade of the
world. They have obtained a concession
from the local government, and arc only
awaiting the result of a congress, to
be lield next May, at the Geographical
Society of Paris, to b^gin operations
by putting their shares in the mar-
ket. M. de Lesseps will preside, and
the congress will sit in judgment
011 this and an alternative
French scheme, the piercing of the con-
tinent, by way of the lake ot Nicaragua,
some few degrees further north. This
is the project of a certain M. Blanchet,
who worked under M. de Lesseps at
Suez and who has been maturing the
idea of a mightier work than his mas
ter's for many jvars. He is a declared
enemy not only of the Darien plan in
question but of all otheT Darien plans,
and there have been many of them. He
declares that, in spite of appearances on
the map, the American continent can
not be pierced at that point, on any esti
mate of outlay likely to come within the
means of shareholders who expect a re-
turn on their money. His Nicaraguan
scheme,he maintains, is cheaper,as being
more feasible according to the configura-
tion of the ground. He has found a
number of influential people ready to
take him at his word; a Nicaraguan
company is in course of formation,
chiefly with French capital; a Nicara-
guan concession has been obtained, and
M. Blanchet, like the others, only
awaits the verdict of the congress, as to
which he seems thoroughly confident, to
set to work.
The Napoleon Wyses are said to be
moving heaven and earth to get the con
gress to pronounce for their project,
and they are a powerful clan. M. de
Lesseps is lielieved to be in some dan-
ger of losing his freedom of judgment
on the question through female influ-
ence. He is peculiarly susceptible to
the fascinations and flatteries of pretty
women of the world, and there are many
such specially retained on one side of
the case. His good word would almost
be enough to float the Darien or any
other scheme. He, however, wants to
be altogether out of it as an advocate,
and he lias called the congress as a judge.
He has had enough of canal-making and
enough glory. With all this it may be
thought he can have no weak side;
but the Darienites have found one—a
horror of canal locks. There are no locks
at Suez; it is a level passage from
sea to sea. " Why should there be locks
in any other maritime canal says M.
de Lesseps. " Why, indeed ?" say the
Darienites ; and they accordingly propose
to drive their channel for miles through
'he solid rock. The Nicaraguans have
another answer. " The Darien is not
Suez : it is rock instead of sand ; eleva-
ted ground instead of land on the sea-
level. To cut sheer down to the sea
level through the Cordilleras would be
a labor of Hercules. It would cost a
thousand million francs. There must
be locks, then, even at Darien. and since
locks there must be, it is better to make
them at Nicaragua, where the ground is
more suitable tor their formation."
"Granted," says M. de Lesseps, "if
only the must is absolute, there is no
lock plan so good as the one for Nicara
gua ; but the congress alone can settle
the question." Here, then, is the turn-
ing point.
In support of their contention that
there must he locks, the Nicaraguans
point to the fact that all tha schemes
hitherto proposed, even for Darien, that
have borne the test of serious examina
tion, have included this arrangement.
At the isthmus the two oceans are sepa-
rated by a great ridge miles in breadth,
the tapering point of the Cordillera
range. You must carry the water over
this or through it; the first is tremen
dously difficult, the last nearly impos-
sible The most plausible Darion
scheme, that of Selfridge, the Ameri-
can, provides for no fewer than twenty-
two locks, and even with this there is
to be a jreat ship tuanel, of such inv
men-e height and width that the work
of Mont Oeais would be a mere sewer
to it. all wrought foot by foot out of the
rock. You would never come to the
cad of such au undertaking, it is argued,
except by eoaiiiij to as ea<i of tke pa-
tience of your shareholders aa« the gul-
libility of the Jpublic. A M. de Go-
gorza did, iadeed, propose t« do with
out the tuanel, hut it was only by sink
ing a channel ia the rock deep enough
t. h.ld tw. t.wers of Notre Dame piled
one sn the other. The very Pharaohs
would have winced at such a lah.r. Ne
matter what y.ur proposal .f a channel
by Barieii. tht.ref.re. it is held to be
vitiated hy the nature of the ground.
If you tarry it over the rock hy locks
you have still the r.ck to w.rk in; if
you carry it through hy tunnels .r an
open cutting, you are almost'overtask
ing the capacities of man.
N.w f.r the alternative Nicaraguan
scheme of M. Blanchet. The neck of
land is thicker there, but the cutting
through it involves . far less lah.r, fer
the work is more than three parts done
by nature herself. Look on the map,
and it will be seen that there is a large
lake of Nicaragua in the middle of it,
and that a river (the San Juan) flows
from this lake to the Atlantic ocean.
Here, then, with a slight diversion of
the mouth of the river, so as to bring
the entry to San Juan del Norte, is your
canal ready-mads. Your ship leaves
the Atlantic ocean for the river, the
tint tot th* ltOu, and coiiiog the Ukt
there is but a mere wall of land to sepa-
rate it from the Pacific on the other
side, which wall is to be pierced at Port
Brito to form the canal pepper, nearly
all the rest being natural route. The
route, however, will bear improvement;
and tliis, says M. Blanchet, can easily
be effected by flooding the San Juan
valley from the lake, so as practically to
extend the broad lake route still further
toward the ocean. The lake is some
thirty-two metres above the ocean level,
and "fourteen locks will be required to
regulate the various depths and to carry
the canal waters properly from
sea to sea. The estimatrti
cost is 190,000,000 francs, or within
10,000,000 of the estimated coBt of the
Suez. Double it for eventualities—and
they had to do something more than
that in Egypt—and we have a total of
about £15,000,000. These are the main
issues of the great argument which is
to be held in Paris on the 15th of May
and the following days, weeks or
months before the savants of the world.
Invitations are being sent to all coun-
tries, and some of the English ones are
already in hand. The geographers, the
engineers, the financiers and the friends
of humanity, may all find their account
in it: but it is perhaps most taking to
outsiders in its financial aspect. Cer-
tain drawing-rooms of Paris are now
perfect nests of stock jobbing intrigue
on behalf of one of the projects; which,
though it may not result in the union of
the two oceans, may reasonably be ex-
pected to yield diamonds for a good
many women and snug offices for a
eood many men. The idea makes a
very strong appeal to patriotic senti-
ment; there is a general feeling that
it can be done, and France ought to
do it." _
SCIEXCJX y OTEH.
The Scientific American says the paint
mine at Reno, Nevada, comprises a ledge
42 feet wide and of unknown depth.
The material is saii^ to mix well with oil
and not to settle on standing. The min-
eral contains a small quantity of silver
and traces of gold.
Dr. Percy Smith has made a spectro-
scopical investigation of the cause of the
blue flame given off by common salt and
other chlorides when thrown into a hot
fire. It is not due to neither carbon or
sulphur, but simply to hydrochloric acid.
Experiments conducted at Cronstadt
have shown that an explosion of two
grammes of nitro-mannite placed in a
capsule produces a full detonation of
damp gun-cotton, containing at least 25
per cent, of water. The nitro-mannite
was exploded by-means of 0.2 grm. of
mercury fulminate.
Corks are made both air-tight and
water-tight if plunged in melted paraf-
finc and kept there for about five min-
utes. Thus prepared, they can be
easily cut and bored, and may be in-
serted in, or withdrawn from, bottles
without any difficulty.
Austrian manufacturers of ultra-
marine are said to adulterate their colors
with three parts of gypsum, and, lest the
color should appear too pale, they also
add glycerine or glucose, or a mixture
of both. The effect of the latter is to
keep the powderdamp, and impart to it
an appearance of greater depth of
color.
Kundt and Roentgen have succeeded
in proving experimentally the electro-
magnetic rotation of the plane of polari-
zation of light in gases—a feat which
had been tried in vain by Faraday and
others. At least they have shown that
saturated sulphide of carbon vapor at
about 100 degrees, in the magnetic field,
rotates the plane; and thus stimulated
they are constructing an apparatus
which will enable them to examine
other gase'i at high pressures, in order
to prove the rotation in their case and to
measure its amount.
Mr. Grant Allen thus sums up what
he endeavors to set forth in detail in his
work on "The Color Sense: its Origin
and Development." Insects produce
flowers. Flowers produce Are color
sense in insects. The taste for color
produces butterflies and brilliant beetles.
Birds and mammals produce fruits.
Fruits produce a taste for color in birds
and mammals. The taste for color pro-
duces the external hues of the humming-
birds, parrots and monkeys. Man's fru-
givorous ancestry produces in him a
similar taste, and that taste produces the
final result of human chromatic arts.
Oak may be dyed so as to resemble
ebony by soaking it for forty-eight hours
in a hot saturated solution of alum and
then painting it with a decoction of one
part Campeaehy wood in eleven parts
water. This decoction should be first
filtered and slowly boiled down to one-
half its value, when ten to fifteen drops
of neutral indigo tincture should be
added to every quart. After the appli-
cation of this solution the wood should
be rubbed with "a saturated solution of
verdigris in acetic acid. The operation
is to be repeated till the desired tint is
obtained.
Mr. Francis Galton is not inclined to
consider consciousness as capable of
much useful service in intellectual labor.
"The more." he says, "I have examined
the workings of my own mind, the less
respect I feel for the part played by
consciousness. I begin, with others,
to doubt its use altogether as a helpful
supervisor, and to tuink that my best
brain-work is wholly independent of it.
Its position appears to be that of a help-
less spectator of but a minute fraction
of a huge amount of automatic brain-
work."
M. de Lesseps, of Suez canal fame,
has announced that a committee, ol
which he president, appointed by the
French geographical society to consider
the most advisable means of construct-
ing a canal through the isthmus ol Da-
rien, has decided on holding a congress
of engineers, delegated from *ii the
states in any way interested in the pro-
ject, to meet in Paris on the 15th of
May next. He states that he lias no
doubt that the invitations will b> ac-
cepted. He had already received from
Dom Pedro the assurance that Brazil
should be represented at it, as his ma-
jesty has for forty years taken the great-
est interest in every scheme proposed
for the junction of the Atlantic and.
Pacific oceans.
Bottles of port wine from 45 to 100
years old have been analyzed by Berthe-
iot with the view of ascertaining the
changes which time effects in that
liquid. He found that in the 100-year
old wine the cane-sugar had entirely
disappeared, aua that there was very
little of it in the 45-year old bottle.
About a fourth of the acidity had been
lost through etheritication. The amount
of cream of tartar was much under the
normal solubility. There was little or no
change in the alcohol; the old wine con-
tained the same proportion of it as new
port. The gases contained in the wine
corresponded to the normal saturation
of it by the gases of the air.
It is a common impression among
electricians that a telegraph conductor
can be withdrawn from the inductive
influence of neighboring conductors by
metallic envelops which are connected
jvith the ground, but II. DeManex tried
some experiments in the month of
February, 1878, preparatory to the es
tablishnient of the toiegntphie service of
the French exposition,^ which led him
to the discovery of a new law. In elec-
trostatic action the induction may be
prevented by the proposed method, but
the law relative to electrodynamic action
is thus stated; In a" cl.sed circuit the
intensity of the current, which is deter-
mined by the induction of a cylindrical
conductor upon another of the same
form, can not be changed even by sur-
rounding one or both of those conduc-
tors by a concentric metallic envelop
communicating with the ground through
its entire length.
It ia, indeed, a fact worthy of remark,
land one that seems never to have been
noticed, that throughout the whole ani-
mal creation, in every country and clime
of the earth, the most useful animals
that eat vegetable food work. The all-
powerful elephant, and the patient, un-
tiring camel, in the torrid zone; the
horse, the ox, or the donkey, in the tem-
perate; and ths reindeer in the frigid
zone, abtaia all their muscular power
from nature's simplest productions—the
vegetable kingd.m. But all the flesh-
eatin« animate keep the rest of the ani-
mated creati.n in dread of them. They
seld.m eat vegetable fo.d until some
other animal has eaten it Srst, and made
it int. Mesh. Their »wi flesh is unfit
for other animals ts eat, having heen it-
self made out of f esh, and is mast foul
and offensive. Great strength, fieetnes?
•f foot, usefulness, cleanliness and do-
cility are. then, always characteristic .f
vegetable 8esh eaters.
A water-level indicator has been in-
troduced at the Leamingt.n new water-
w.rks. England, that serves te show at
the eugine-h.use the level of the water
in the reservoir, which is half a mile
away. Xuturt says that it may be made
serviceable for automatically announc-
ing the condition of large rivers, etc.
The indicator has a dial, on which are
divisions corresponding to the rise and
fall of the water to be registered, and a
hand on the dial points to that division
which denotes the height the water may
stand at any time in the reservoir. A
Single line of telegraph wire communi-
cates between the indicator in the en-
gine-house and the apparatus at th«
olacs whan tin watsr ia aocumulatad.
This apparatus is so constructed that for
every foot of rise of the water one pole
of a battery is brought into connection
with the line for a certain space of time,
and the current from the battery, actu-
ating the indicator, causes the hand to
move the requisite distance round the
dial. When the water falls, the oppo-
site pole of the battery connects with
the line, an*l this is made to move the
hand on the dial in a contrary direction.
The apparatus at the reservoir is con-
trolled by an ordinary float and weight
placed in the water. A modification of
this indicator might bp employed with
advantage by the signal service.
The employment of the spectroscope
in the comparative measurement of high
temperatures has been described by Si.
Crova, of Montpelier, France, before
iho-Academie des Sciences. According
to his description, this instrument can
be employed to measure temperature
hitherto incalculable. The process which
he recommends is thus described: Hav-
ing first adopted some arbitrary stand-
ard, he proceeds to examine the flames
of incandescent bodies with the instru-
ment, and reduces them, by the interpo-
sition of obstructives of known value,
to the same level as that of the stand-
ard. To this combination of devices he
applies the name of spectrophotometer.
Prof. Crova adopts as his standard the
heat emitted by an ordinary moderator
lamp burning oil, which he fixes at
1000 0. In making his comparisons, he
finds the heat of a piece of platinum
heated to redness to be 524° ; the same
at white heat. 810° ; a regulation stear-
ine candle, 1102 °< an Argand burner
of common coal gas, 1373° ; lime light,
oxygen and coal gas on lime, 1806 = ;
the eleetric light, sixty Bunsen elements,
30600, and the light of the sun,
4049 3.
At the recent meeting of the Franklin
institute. Philadelphia, Mr. T. L. Young
described an ingenious and novel ar-
rangement of the microphone. The new
instrument has the form of a small box
with the usual telephonic mouthpiece
on the top.! iAttached to the under sur-
face of the diaphragm is a small piece
rubber holding a carbon cup. A similar
cup is fixed on the inside of the brass
ring used for holding the ferrotype plate
diaphragm in its place. A rod of car-
bon rests lightly on the cups, and is
covered with rubber, a small watch-
spring bearing upon it in the middle.
The spring is adjusted by means of a
screw. This arrangement, it is claimed,
does away entirety with the grating
sound in other forms of the microphone.
The instrument is arranged so as to be
placed against a wall or other support,
the carbon rod being then a vertical po-
sition.
The Russian government is about to
send an expedition to Central Asia un-
der the command of the grand duke
Nicholas. The aim of the expedition is
to select the route of the Central Asian
railway, to examine the navigability of
the Oxus. and to decide the possibility
of diverting it into the Caspian. The
route will be from the river Ural to
Karasugal, on the Syr Daria, thence via
Tashkend and Sf.mareand to the Oxus
at Kunduz (Afghanistan); afterward
along the river to Khiva, and across the
Kara Kum to Ivrasuovodsk. The work
of the expedition will be: 1. To collect
information as to the cost of the rail-
way, the ability to obtain materials for
its construction, whether fuel exists on
the route, and the amount of labor ob-
tainable. 2. To investigate the speed
of the Oxus. the height, of its banks,
the population of the nearest towns and
settlements, acd the existing commerce
on the river. 3. To examine the Khiva
oasis, the floods of Sari Kamisli, and
the ancient bed of the Oxus, commonly
known as the Uzboe. 4. To carry out
astronomical observations all the way
along the route, to make military plans,
to sketch the features of the country,
to collect objects of mineralogical, zoo-
logical, geological and archaeological in-
terest, and to keep a journal of daily
events. Finally, in collecting informa-
tion respecting the ancient course of the
Oxus, to decide whether it can be di-
verted afresh into the Caspian without
detriment to the Khivan oasis. It
seems possible, however, that in case of
certain eastern complications the expe-
dition may develop into a military one
against Merv.
"VVliy Garibaldi is in Bone,
[London Truth.]
The true motive of the journey is
perfectly known to the friends of the
general, and is of the most private de-
scription possible. It has reference
solely to the disposal of his property
among his children. The circumstances
of the case are curious enough, and they
are too much a matter of history not to
be stated plainly. Garibaldi, as is
generally known, had three children by
Anita, the faithful companion of his
Italian campaign, to wit, a daughter,
Terestia, now liunora Canzio, ana two
sons, Menotti and Riccioti. By another
woman, Francesca. he has two more
living children, Clella and Manlio. On
the other hand, he was married to a
signora Raimondi, who after the wed-
ding made a confession, in consequence
of which he left her at once and for-
ever. Now it results from the above
circumstances, under the Italian law,
that the only lawful heir to any prop-
erty left by Garibaldi is a child which
is not his own, but signora Haimondi's.
The said property, by the way, is com
posed of the 50.000 lires a year voted by
the Italian parliament in perpetuity to
Garibaldi and his descendants in thJ di-
rect line. The jouruey of the general,
therefore, to Rome is for no other rea-
s in than the advisability of contriving
s mie legal or extra legal arrangenunt
bv which liis family should profit by the
revision of tho annuity to the exclusion
of the strange child. An act of parlia-
ment giving the annuity in trust to the
executors of Garibaldi will most proba-
bly be resorted to.
