POPULAR SCIENCE. Fisn as Food.— i'liose nations who eat fish with one meal, each day, are undoubtedly the most active in intellect, and the most capable of brain labor without exhaustion or fatigue. Not only is such phoflphatic food conducive to the activity of the brain, but it pro motes fecundity and increases the abil ity to endure cold, fatigue, etc., and, while the facilities for obtaining it are constantly increasing, it would be well for the rising generation were they made to partake of and realize it as sec ond only in many respects to the staff of life; and the husband and father who occasionally takes half a day from his le gitimate business to fill his basket with delicious fish, should not be considered as a mere “sportsman,” but a “good provider” for his family of those things which are of vital utility. Street Sprinkling, —An improved method of sprinkling streets has been patented in England, by means of which almost five-sixths of the expense of wa tering may be saved. An experiment made in Hyde park warrants the conclu • sion that, with the nevmanent system referred to, the services of one man would be amply sufficient for laying the dust over the whole of the drives and rides in that park—a task which at pres ent engages twenty men with as many horses and cart's. It is to be hoped, however, that before long deliquescent salt"! will be employed lor this purpose rather than water. The use of water in summer hastens the decay of organic matter, and thus is objectionable from a sanitary point of view. Deliquescent salts will not only lay the dust, but will also disinfect the streets by checking decomposition. HEAiiTHFTTii Dwellings. —Among the indispensable requisites ot a healthful dwelling are, that it shall be absolutely freo from damp ; because a damp house is a most potent, and active, and ever present cause of disease, especially of rheumatism, neuralgia, colds, coughs, consumptions and such like. The site, therefore, if not naturally dry, must be rendered so by means of asphalt or ce ment, throughout the foundation, and tlio roof, and gutters, and drainage must be perfect. All the house-drains should terminate outside the house on an open grid or trap ; that is, they should bo cut off from the street drain, and they should be ventilated by having a pipe run up from every soil-pipe and every bend in the house. And sec ond, that the house shall be so placed that the direct rays of the sun shall have free admission into the living ap artments ; because the sun’s rays im part a healthy and invigorating quality to the air, and stimulate the vitality of human beings as they do those of plants, and without sunlight human beings, as well as plants, would sicken and die. The aspect, therefore, should be south east. Utilizing the Magneto-Electrio Light. — A citizen of St. Petersburg, Russia, is said to have overcome the difficulties in the way of applying the magneto-electric light to the purposes •of general illumination. He has con structed a machine, rotated by a three horse power engine, which, he declares, can keep several hundred lamps going, the lights being regulated by a simple contrivance. Hitherto, the want of steadiness has been objectionable, and was caused by its dependence on the uniform proximity of two carbon points, which, when heated by the current and to tho air, were rapidly -burnt J away. In this invention, only one piece of charcoal is necessary. This is con nected with the electro-magnetic ma chine, and enclosed in a glass tube from ■extracted. The tube is gas which will not com arcoal at a high temper etieally sealed. On the et in motion the char- and equally its soft, steady light, at the bottom of a mine, bottom of a river, as fcreet lamp, and at about cost of coal gas.

Now, Cochran of the Alabama writes a long communi the Mobile Registet, in which of carbolic* acid is question ed—nay, more, condemned as being conducive to the spread of disease rather than its suppression. The professor says, after watching the effects of its xise in tt& hospitals of Mobile and New Orleans: ‘‘Not only do the facts and examples adduced in proof fail to es tablish the efficacy of carbolic acid as a prophylactic against yellow fever, but without any violence, and without any sophistical interpretation, they go very far toward the establishment of the sus picion that influence has been the NEW GRANGE SONG. It is an ancient farmer, And he is one of three; He said unto the middle man, “ We have no need of thee. “ This man here makes his cloth, And sells it unto me ; He huys my wheat, and thus we save The slice that went to thee.” “ Your eyes too dim are growing; Get spectacles,” said he, “ That you may see some higher grade Of wheat than number three.” The cunning middle man Laughed out, “ Ha-ha ! te-he! Upon your back I’ll stand and fill My pockets from tne tree!” Then turned that ancient farmer The middle man about. And, with some words of kind advice, He gently kicked him out. COUNTERFEIT NOTES. Home Incidents lie the History ot the Bank of England. “ How is it,” asks some person in the query-column of a Sunday paper, “that the bank of England notes are never counterfeited ? In comparison with our gorgeous bills, they are simplicity it self. ” The question and statement both imply misapprehension. Bank of En gland notes are counterfeited—have been counterfeited ever since they be gan to be used—and in the numerical proportion of the two are as often suc cessfully counterfeited as our own bank notes. In spite of every precaution adopted by the bank of England—of the manufacture of its own paper with in the -walls of the great building ; of the printing, water-lining, numbering, marking, registering, signing and coun tersigning under the vigilant eyes of ev er-present officials; in spite of the most perfect machinery, peculiar ink, pre cise cutting, methodical adjustment of parts of every note to its whole, letter ing. private indenting, stamping and im pressing, the public is continually de frauded by counterfeits. Nothing ’shows this more certainly than the common English custom, well known, of the holder of a bank note indorsing his name on its back. As to the simplicity of the stiff bank of England notes wh ii compared with pur flexible bank-bills, I submit that the question admits of two opinions. I class the former with the lumbering wheels of English vehi cles, the ponderous carriages of English railways; the cramped accommodations of English river and channel steam boats, the cumbrous make of English harness,the droning responses of English parish clerks and the terrible dullness of English sermons. The day on which a forged note was first presented at the bank of England forms on era in its history. It was in 1758, and from that day until now, du ring this period of 115 years, there has passed no decade in which more than £30,000 have not been refused payment at the bank on the plea of forgery. Sometimes the amount greatly exceeds this. In the first ten years of the pres ent ceutury it rose to £101,661, and from 1850 to 1860 £78,440 were stamped “forged” at the bank counter. In fact, the losses occurring to this institution from forged notes are, and always have been, commensurate with the greatness of its transactions. Some of the more curious of these forgeries are perhaps worth narrating, John Mathison was a man of great mechanical capacity, who, becoming ac quainted with an engraver, unhappily acquired that art which ultimately proved his ruin. A yet more dangerous qualification was his of imitating sig natures with inconceivable accuracy. Tempted by the hope of sudden wealth, his first forgeries were the notes of a country bank. Scorning, however, to confine his talents within so narrow bounds, he came up to London, and in less than one month had engraved, fabricated, forged, printed and nego tiated several £2O notes of the bank of England. When he had made a suffi cient number, he traveled from one end of the kingdom to the other, disposing of them. Having been in the habit of procuring notes from the bank, the more accurately to copy them, he chanced to be there when a clerk from the excise office paid in 7,000 guineas in gold, one of which was scrupled. Mathison, from a distance, said it was a good one. “Then,” said the bank clerk on the trial, “I recollecte i him.” The frequent visits of Mathison, who was very incautious, together with other circumstances, created a suspicion that he might be connected with forged notes that were being continually pre sented. One day he was detained, taken to the bank parlor and confronted with the directors. To every question put to him he had but a solitary an swer : “ I decline to reply. I know not how I came into this world, nor how I shall go out of it.” Sir John Fielding then read a des cription of his (Mathison’s) appearance from a country newspaper, when the fellow broke down immediately and confessed. He offered to explain the secret of his discovery of the water mark, provided his life was spared; but his proposal was rejected, and he paid the penalty of his crime. Some nine years ago, Solomon Bacon, a well-know merchant in London, re ceived a letter from his correspondent in Hamburg, which grieved and trou bled him. It stated that the writer had been defrauded by his nephew, son of a widowe I sister, out of £IO,OOO, and had fled to London with the money. Them Was a reluctauce to make the matter public, and Mr. Bacon was de sired to keep silence; “ but,” the letter went on to say, “if you invite John to dinner, and when alone tax him with the crime, he might, perhaps, refund the money. Should he do so, you may give him £500.” The ijondon merchant found the young German, took him home, and when the ladies had with drawn from the dinner table, he ac quainted his visitor with his knowledge of the fraud. Alarm was depicted on the countenance of his guest. “You will not make this public, Mr. Bacon ?” he asked. “Not if you return me the money now and here.;’ “But I lost £I,OOO last night at Crock ford’s, and have not the power.” “ Well,” said the merchant, “return me then £9,000, and, though Ia little ex ceed my instructions, I will neverthe less give you back £500.” “My uncle is very good,” remarked the young man, and he forthwith han ded "from his pocket-book nine £I,OOO notes to his host.” “I cannot change one of these,” said Mr. Bacon; “will not my check do as well ?” “ Quite,” replied the German ; and, havipg received the £SOO check, hastily The following notice appeared in the Times, of August, 1868: “ On the 17th inst., £lO were paid in to the bank, for which the clerks, as usual, gave a ticket to receive a bank note of equal value. This ticket ought to have been carried immediate’y to the cashier, instead of which, the bear er took ic away, curiously added an 0 to the original sum, and presented to the cashier a note of £IOO. In the even ing the clerks found a deficiency in the accounts ; and on examining the tickets of the day, not only that but two others were discovered to have been obtained in the same manner. In the one the figure 1 was altered to a 4, and in an other to 5, bv which the artist received near £1,000.” During the hurry attendant upon a proclamation made in front of the Roy al exchange last winter when the gor geous costume of the herald, and the caparisons of the he rses, and the proud bearing of the garter-at-arms, and the sound of the martial music, and the re ports of the tower artillery, and the noise of trumpets, arrested attention, fourteen forged notes of £SO each were presented at the office and cash paid for them. Of course, there was no possi ble way of discovering from whence they came. These cases are outside of other classes of forgeries to which the bank of England is peculiarly liable~of pow ers of attorney, by which Fauntleroy defrauded the bank of £36o—of checks, of exchange bills, and of other govern ment debentures. Taking the amount of paper in circulation in this country and England, we believe the compara tive loss from forgeries alone to be greater than here. The Horse Bit. The question of the bit, and of the hand that rules the bit, underlies the consideration of the whole subject of man’s dominion ovei the horse. The intelligence of mankind lias hitherto invented but two principal forms of bit; the snaffle, the simple piece of iron which lies acr ss the mouth, subject to endless modifications, such as being twisted, jointed, and so forth, and the curb-bit, a more powerful implement, which has likewise undergone innumer able variations. The curb-bit is an adaptation of the principal of the lever, and the lengthening of the check-piece allows a very powerful pressure to be exercised upon the jaw of the horse. The snaffle is, so to say, a natural bit, and the curb is an artificial one. The snaffle was used by our ancestors, and by the ancient Greeks ; the curb is an Asiatic invention, and was probably brought into Europe with the Moors. In the famous mosaic found at Pompeii, representing, as is supposed, a battle between the Greeks and Persians, and which, at any rate, is the picture of a battle between Europeans and Asiatics, the eastern horsemen ride with curbs, and the Europeans with snaffles. The difference in the bit modifies the whole style of riding; and as there are two sorts of bits, so there are two quite dif ferent styles of schools of horseman ship, which may be called the eastern and the western styles. The type of the eastern is best seen in the Bedouin Arab, with his short stirrup, peaked saddle, and severe bit; and the west ern type in its simplest form is beauti fully exemplified in the Elgin rrarbles, where naked men bestribe bare-backed horses. To ride after this fashion is an athletic exercise ; the strength of the man is set against the strength of the horse with little adventitious aid. The rider restrains the horse’s impetuosity by the sheer force of his arm, and he maintains a seat on his back by exercis ing the muscles of his legs. It is the equitation of athletos and of heroes ; but it is clear that the balanced seat of the Arab, and the more complete com mand over his horse—which follows from the 'greater security of his seat— would make him infinitely more formid able in war than the European, in spite of the superior strength and size of the latter. Additional Taxation. The secretary of the treasury has written to the chairman of the ways and means committee, recommending additional taxation, so that the revenues may meet the expenses, and inclosing a bill for that purpose. The restoration of the duty on tea and coffee, which will yield about twenty million dollars per annum, is included in the recom mendation. The secretary also inclosed a letter from Commissioner Douglass, making the following recommendations: An increased tax of ten cents per gallon on distilled spirits, which would yield annually $7,000,000 Four cents additional per pound on to bacco, which would yield 4,003,000 On illuminating gas 2,600,000 On gross receipts of railroads from pas sengers and freight 6,000,000 On steamboat gross receipts from passen gers and freight 600,000 On insurance companies 1,300,000 On telegraph receipts 250.000 On express companies’ receipts 600,000 Making in the aggregate $22,150,000 Tax on tea and coffee 20,000,000 Slaking a grand total of $12,150,000 The commissioner says if more re venue is wanted, it could be obtained to the extent of ten millions by restor ing the taxes formerly in schedule B, which includes stamps on all legal in struments, deeds, mortgages, etc. Bradlaugh on Royal Salaries. That very outspoken man, Charles Bradlaugh, in a speech delivered re cently at Cincinnati, appeared to enjoy his little ironical tribute to the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburg. “We pay thelprince,” said he, “£50,000 a year for being Prince of Wales, and £63,000 a year for being Duke of Corn wall, but we have the benefit of him as a military man. [Laughter.] We pay his salary as general in the army and as colonel of two regiments, which he nev er sees. At his majority he received $6,500,000, the accumulations of the duchy during his minority, and year be fore last we paid £7,600 for repairs to the house he lives in. We pay the Duke of Edinburgh $75,000 for being duke. We pay him his salary as a naval officer. Recently ne visited the colonies, and we voted him .£3,400 to enable him to be generous there. The colonial % papers say that although he took the' money, he left the colonial committees to pay fer many of the presents. I have been recently reading our blue-books, and in the portion devoted to irre coverable balances 1 find an item of £450 borrowed by the duke from the pay chest of his ship and never returned.” Disinfectant.—Permanganate of pot ash may bo used in disinfecting cloth ing and towels.

The Star of Empire —During the past two years, San Francisco, Chicago and St. Louis have made considerable progress in the import trade, and the enterprise which they have exhibited in the matter of direct commerce bids fair to assume large proportions in the fu ture. Especially is this the case with San Francisco, whose imports, last year, amounted to $39,422,604, and whose ex ports exceeded $38,000,000. It is said that the hold of New York upon the tea trade is failing, and that the trade is fast concentrating to the Western cities by railroad. Under certain conditions, the whole Asiatic trade will take the same course. But the leading interest in the foreign trade of the Atlantic ports is and always will be the commerce with Europe, and therein lies their greatness.

THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known to require any extended recommenda tion; but the reasons which have already given it fifty thousand subscribers, and which will, we hope, give it many thousands more, are briefly as follows:. It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it. con densed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always presented in a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner. It is a first-rate family paper, full of entertaining and instructive reading of every kind, hut containing nothing that can offend the most delicate and scrupulous *as'e. It is a first-rate story paper. The best tales and romances of current literature are carefully selected arid legibly printed in its pages. It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresli and instructive articles on agricultural topics regularly appear in this department. It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no col lar. It fights for principle, and for the election of the best men to office. It es pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions that now weaken and disgrace our country, and threaten to undermine republican, institutions altogether. It has no fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their supporters. It reports the fashions for the ladies, and the markets for the men,especially the cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention. Finally, it is the cheapest paper published. One dollar a year will securest for any subscriber. It is not necessary to get up a club in order toliave THE Vt EEKLY SUN at this rate.
