well which yields over 1,000,000 gal
lons of water daily.
Divers who could stay under water
aot more than two minutes, are being
driven out by men in regular diving
armor, who can work by the hour.
A human subject without collar-bones
has been met with in a St. Louis dis-
Becting-room. This structure is that of
most, of the vertebrates, such as lions»
bears, etc.
1 The French aro acknowledged to
have the finest guns and projectiles in
Europe. Their Ferminy shell has been
shot through an armor plate 20 inches
thibk, and come out with its steel point
unjnjured.
The remarkable operation of trans
planting the nerve of a rabbit to a
human subject has been successfully
performed by Dr. Gersung of Vi-
Bnna, and the graft promises to, per
form its ordinary functions satisfac
torily.
> The ancient therapeutic method of
licking the cornea, as dogs lick the eyes
Os their puppie’, is still a popular
remedy in Greece. Dr. Costomiris of
Athens, was lately induced to try it in
I number of serious cases of eye disease,
Ind reports marvelously successful re
mits.
Professor Carvill Lewis finds in a
fragment of a meteorite that fell in
Siberia in 1886, two small oval bodies
resembling Brazilian “bort,” which led
lim to believe the report of Professors
Latchinoff and Jerofiel, who have found
traces of true diamonds in meteorites.
Professor Carvill Lewis says that a form
of carbon, harder than ordinary grapli
te, has been found in an Australian
meteorite. t
The method of Dr. Freiro, of Brazil,
for preventing yellow fever by inocula
tion seems to be establishing a favora
ble reputation. The mortality is only
about one per thousand for the inocu
lated, and one per cent, for others. For
the first time in thirty-five years, Rio
Janeiro has this year escaped an epi
demic of yellow fever; but how much
be credited to Dr. Fraire’s sys
tem for this, cannot be told.
» Whether planetoids are, as Professor
‘Young once described them, parts “ox
ft planet, spoiled in the making,” or not,
is unknown, and perhaps may never be
Bolved. But certain it is that there are
jdways numberless little celestial bodies
of this character, whoso revolutions
around the sun are performed as un
erringly as those of the larger planets.
They are called planetoids, from two
Greek words, which meun resembling a
planet or wanderer.
British authorities have boon testing
a new smokeless gunpowder, the com
position of which is a secret. Among
the claims of its inventor are greater ve
locity, flatter trajectory, less fouling
and less recoil than with ordinary gov
ernment powder; while it will keep
bettpr, is safer to manufacture and to
handle, and is lighter than the common
powder. It is known as the Johnsou-
Bafland powder, and the experiments
made are said to have fully justified sev
eral of these c'aims.
Copper Becoming Fashionable.
“Copper is coming into fashion.
? What do 1 mean? Well, look at this lot
of canes and umbrellas that I have just
imported. You will notice that each
One has a piece of ordinary copper wire
around the handle.
“Gold and silver have become so
cortmon as heads for these articles that
people demand something new for a
change, and you see the result before
you. Jud now great simplicity is af
fected in this respect, but I haven’t the
slightest doubt that when this metal
'becomes popular, as I believe it will, we
shall see very elaborate personal orna
ments mi le of it. ’
“Indeed, I have often wondered why
copper was not more generally used be
fore this among civilized people as a
material for ornaments. Its peculiar
color harmonizes perfectly with dark
materials and complexions, and it is
comparatively free frem oxidization.

their persons, and in that showed ex

SHOOTING THE CASCADES.
The Perilous Run of a Steamboat
on the Columbia River.
i
All was now in readiness, and a hush
of breathless expectancy hung over the
great crowds that lined both sides of the
river and blackened every available point
of lookout. Not a word was spoken,
and nothing was heard but the loud
roaring of the angry, seething, tumbling
mass of waters, tearing ever the rock- ;
ribbed channel.
Six loud, sharp whistles were given ;
from the locomotive as a signal to the
Hassalo that all was ready. These vig
orous, shrill notes were heard above the I
thunder of the crashing waters. Capt. |
James W.Troup was not slow in respond- ;
ing to the signal. He gave six whistles !
and tapped the engineer’s gong. A j
moment later the Hassalo’s wheel was ■
seen beating the water into foam. She j
moved gracefully from the wharf, swung ;
round deliberately, just as if she was ;
going to make a smooth, quiet, little !
trip. Interest now became intons ■, and i
thousands of eyes were bent with a
strained tension on the steamboat. Now I
she backed behind the little island mid- 1
way of the channel, swung clear, and
steadied herself for the fearful plunge.
For a moment the boat seemed to
halt, like an eagle poising for a long and
lofty flight, then, with her. sharp and
glistening prow aimed at the great roar
ing breach, she shot toward the green,
rolling masses. From shore to shore
the first line of the rapids stretched like
a oordon of breakers, and thundered like
the tumultuous surf. With a full head i
of steam, the Hassalo entered the upper :
break in the waters, and here receiving
the first impulse of the mighty current,
made a plunge that thrilled the crowd I
as if touched by an electric shock.
“There she goes," exclaimed a thous- I
and voices, in low, subdued tones. '
Crossing the break the steamboat rose i
pointing her bow upward at a sharp
angle, and then blindly plunged down
ward as if going to the bottom, but she
came up with the buoyany of a cork, and
nqw having committed herself to the
mercy of the rapids, flew with the speed
of an arrow through and over the surg
ing, Ixiiling waters.
Less than thirty seconds elapsed from
the time the Hassalo entered the crest of
the rapids until she had passed from
view around the abrupt bend in the
river, going with a tremendous rate of
speed. Soquickweretherapidsshotthat
the feat was accomplished almost before
the crowds could realise it. After pass
ing from view the steamboat flew down
the shining course at locomotive speed,
and never paused in her wild career un
til the Lower Cascades were reached.
This distance was made in less than
seven minutes. Capt. Troup deserves
great credit for the cool, steady and
courageous manner in which he made
the perilous run. We say perilous, for
the passage was made at the lowest
stage ever made by any other boat, ex
cept the Okanogan, many years ago.
Baron Reuter, the telegraph king of
Europe, keeps a secretary whose sole
business it is to investigate and relieve
cases of distress.

The Agonies of Lumbago.
East River National Bank,
Ni:w York, March 10,1886. i
It gives me great pleasure to add my testi
monyin favor of Allcock’s Porous Plas
ters. Last October I had a very severe attack
of lumbago and suffered untold agony; could
not turn in bed or get in any posit ion without
assistance, and with pains almost unbear
able; the folks suggested Allcock’s Porous
Plasters. As soon as possible I had one ap
plied to the small of my back.and to my great
surprise lex j erionced almost instant relief; I
continued wearing it until entirely cured, and
am hap yto say that 1 have not had the
slightest symptoms of Lumbago since. They
are a wonderful and valuable Plaster for
Lumbago, and 1 take much pleasure in recom
mending them W. S. Phillips.

FOR OLD PEOPLE!
In old people the nervous system is
■weakened, and that must be strengthened.
One of the most prominent medical
writers of the day, in speaking of the
prevalence of rheumatic troubles among
the aged, says: “ The various pains, rheu
matic or other, which old people often
complain of, and eh materially disturb
their comfort, . from disordered
nerves.” There ,t is in a nutshell—
the medicine for old people must be a
nerve tonic. Old people are beset with
constipation, flatulency, drowsiness, diar
rhoea, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia.
% Oftwit
1 ! These diseases are of nervous origin.
Paine’s Celery Compound, that great
1 ! nerve tonic, is almost a specific in these
disorders, and by its regulating influence
> | on the liver, bowels, and kidneys, re
moves the disorders peculiar to old age.
Old people find it stimulating to the
vital powers, productive of appetite, and
(• a promoter of digestion.
J Sold by druggists, fi.oo. Six for $5.00.
. Send for eight-page paper, with many testi
monials from nervous, debilitated, and aged peo
ple, who bless Paine’s Celery Compound.
