Ono ol the greatest rock blasts ever
known was made u few weeks ago nt
Lime Point, the site of the new fort be
ing constructed by tho government for
the defence of tho harbor of Sun Fran
cisco. To prepare the ground for the
fort it was found necessary to rettmvo a
bill of rock BfiO feet in bight. A small
tunnel wns pierced in the hill, near its
base, to n depth of sixty feet, nnd a
chamber sixty loot long excavated it
right angles with it, nnu pnrnllel to the
fuoe ol the hill. In this chamber wore
placed two charges of powder, one of
4,000 pounds nm] the other of B,600
pounds separated by forty-five feet ot
clay ntid sntid but both fired nt the
same moment by means of a wire and a
galvanic battery. A correspondent of
the Han Francisco hvrnmg lUtUttin thus
describes! the result.
"There Was no crplomn in, tho popu

and flams were h'cen to escape through
the moving mass ol rock, and tho whole
f«co of the hill in front of tho charges
wus seen to move- forward, falling down
Into the sen. And then was seen n sight
rarely witnessed—u hill without u foun
dation giving way and tumbling into
tho depth below.
“For about half a minuto of time
tho manat of rock above entno rolling
down the face of tho hill, to seek their
watery grave below, presenting to the
mind such n prolonged period of insta
bility that ono involuntarily loosed bo-
uenth him to seo if he too were r.ot in
motion. When the rock above had
broken away to the bight of about 17o
feet above the water, llie motion coased,
being renewed, however, from time to
tiino for several hours, dh still other
masses above, finding themselves un
supported, broke away and rolled into
the deep."
The amount of rock displaced by the
blast wn* 40,000 cubic yards, or HO,000
tons, and its total cost $‘2,000.

Now York ( mudeun interesting experi

held in Hochestor. Itt investigating the
onuses nnd hnture of crttptiVu diseases
he made the following experiment: He
took n piece of fresh beef and pul it un
der pure water, whore he let it remnlii
seventy hours. Hy this tlltlo the meat
hud begun to decompose, and wns far
from being agreeable cither to the ti.sto
or sinull. Tile doctor then took a sin
gle drop of thu water and uxumined it
under the mierosenpo. lto discovered
in it numerous minuto animals, nil in n
lively stale. Ho estimated that a cubic
inch of the wntor contained oVtsf twenty
tlimisoml of theso beings.
The doctor ut this stugo, deliberately
swallowed four ounces of tlic water, nnd
soon ufturwatil opened u vein in bis uroi.
In lira blood that issued forth ho discov
ered n number of living organisms pre
cisely similar to those In lira water lie

1* no fact more clearly established in tho

theso are recuperated during sleep. If
the rooi'peration does not equal tho ex
penditure, tho brnjn withers—this is in-
minify. Thus it is that, in curly English
luHtory, persons wlm wero condemned
to dcutli by being prevented from sleep
luff, always died raving manines; thus
it is also, that those who arc starved to
death become insnno. Tho brain is not
nourished, arid they cannot sloop. The
practical inference* afo three: 1st.
Thoso who think most, who do most

sleep they can take, by compelling them
lo go to bed nt tomo regular hour, nnd
to uriso in tho morning the moment they
nwnkc; and within a fortnight, nature,
with almost the regularity of tho rising
sun, will unloose the bonds of sleep thu
moment enough repose has been so 1
cured for tho wonts ot tho systoin.—
This is tho only safe and sufficient rule.
And an to tho question, how much sleep
any ono requires ? each must bo n rnlo
for himself. Great unturo will never
fail to write it out to tho observer un
der the regulations just given.
Tub Heated Tkhm.—Every summer
we have n season of extremely hot weath
er, which is sure to increnso the record
of death; but tho mortality from this
cause during lira week, ouding July 18th
han no parallel. By examining the
statistics on this subject, for tho city of
New York, wo find that in August, 1802
224 persons died from sunstroke; in
1868, there were 135 deaths from tho
surne cause; io 1866 there were 230
deaths from sunstroke, and during the
present year, up to Saturday lust, there
were no lues than 883 deaths from boat
alone, and most of those doaths occurred
during the last week—Brooklm Union.
Good Biscctf.—Two tensnoonfuls of
cream tartar, ono of soda, half teuspoon- (
ful salt, rubbed ftno and well mixed «itb '
one quart of flour. Hub iu a piece of
butter the size of an egg, mix up soft
with thick sour milk or buttermilk, and
bake quickly. !
Resuscitation of DroYvucd
Person*.
The rules adopted by tho Metropoll-
tab Board of llculth for New York City
for saving tho drowned are given belotV.
Tho mothnd that received the snnctltJH
tir the Sanitary Committee is known ns
11 Sylvester's Method for Resuscitating
Drowning Persona,” and has been prac
tised in Great Britain successfully for
many years. These Instructions will
bo furnished to tho police nnd others
w hoso business koeps them about the
wharfs, und will also bo widely distrib
uted, by means or printed slips or cards
for the purpose of popularising this
knowledge us much as possible.
Hulks and Methods nm Savino thb
Dsownld.—Remember that tho patient
must bo treated instantly, nnd on the
spot where rescuod. Ho must he freely
exposed to the open sir. and all persons
not needed for saving him should avoid
crowding about him.
1. Lot tho throat nod mouth be
demised, by placing the patient's face
downwards, with ono of his wrists ull*
der his forehead. Quickly wipe and
demise tho mouth, und if the pntiunt
does not breutho, immediately begin the
following movements :
2. Poetxtre.—Pluco the patient on his
buck, with shoulders raised mid support
ed onsily on a folded coat, or some kind
of pillow.
8. To keep up a fret entrance of air into
the wiTu/pipe.-~Lvl otio person grasp tho
tongue gently and firmly with his fin
gers, being covered with a bit of hand
kerchief, aud drawing it out beyond thu
lips; then either hold it or press thu un-
der jaw (chin) up so us to rutuiu the
tongue protruding from tho mouth; but
it is better to hold it in tliut position
with tho hnnd.
4. To produce and imitate the movemente
of breathing,—Boise the patient’s extend
ed arms upward to the sides of his head,
and then pull them steadily, slowly nnd
firmly outward nnd forward. Nontturrf
down the arms by the patient's sides
and bring them closely nnd thinly across
Iho pit ot the stomach, nnd press them'
and tlm sides und front of tho chest
gently but strongly for n momont; th'erf
quickly begin to repeat tho first move
ment. Let those two kinds of move
ments be made very deliberately and
without censing until the patient
breathes, and let tho two movements bo
rcpeuled about twelve or fifteen times
in a minute, but not more rapidly, re
membering thut to thoroughly till the
lungs with air is the object of the first
or upwurd movement, and lo expel as
much air n» possible, is thu object of fbo
second or downward motion nnd pres
sure. This artificiul respiration should
be steadily kept up for forty minutes or
more when the patient appears not to
breathe, and after the natural breathing
brgins let tho sarno motions be very
gently continued, nnd lot the propor
stimulants bo given in the intervals.
lFhat elite ie to be done and what ie not to
be done while the mocemnte are being made.
—If help nnd blankets nro nt baud, have
tho body stripped nnd wrapped In blank
et*, but not allow the movemouts to bo
stopped. Byitnnders cun supply dry
clothing. Apply hartshorn, on a fea
ther, within the nostrils occasionally,
und sprinkle or lightly dash cold water
upon tho factl of Heck. Tho legs and
feet may ho rubbed and wrapped io hot
blunkuts if blue or cold, or if the weatb-
or is cold.
What to do when the patient bey in t to
breathe.—Give brandy by tho touHpoon-
full, or but sling two or tlireo times a
minute, until the beating of tho pulse
can be felt at tho wrist, but bn careful
and not givo more of the stimulant than
is uccossury. Warmth should be kept
up in tlm loot nnd legs, nnd as soon us
tho patient breathes nnturally, let him
bo carefully removed to a house, and bo
placed in bed Under medicul care.
If there in help enough at hand whon
the patient is taken from the wulcr or
afterwards, lot the nonrest medical offi
cer in the catalogue (or any othor phy
sician near by) be oAllod, but let thare
bo no wuiting for n physician. Do tho
best thut enn bo done methodically nnd
deliberately according to the foregoing
rules.

IIatti—Another Neobo
Our advices from Port au Prince ore to
tho effect that President SnlnnVe has
proclaimed himself Emperor. The res
olution is not put down j the foreigner's'
nro as little satisfied and as tnuuff in

tho final result of tho present strug^e Jo
to be, has made up his rnind that, hut
will must be supromfl In Hayti. u, is
further roportea that the Picos of tho
South Wore arming; that the lazzsronr
were threatening the foreigner^ ipi Ithd
streets of Port uu Prince, and that ATifi-
ratcr Hollister was indignant with the
government of Salnavo bedause pf flra
