SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
From experiments upon dogs, Lewis,
chew and Klikowitch have concluded
that the sffect of ordinary natural min
eral waters is to increase the quantity
of bile and to make it more fluid and
waterv —Thia increased flow is benefi
cial in freeing the gall-bladder from
stagnant file. The action of artificial
solutions of alkaline salts, as well as of
hot water, was found to be similar to
that ol the natural mineral waters,
A novel and interesting application

feet of swarms of fireflies flitting about
a tropical forest in a strikingly realis
tic manner by the plan ef suspending
tiny incaodeseent lamps by fine swing-'
ing wires, the flashes of the artificial
fireflies being caused by rapidly switch
ing tho current on and off.
Tn an attempt to trace invention to
its origin in the mind of primitive roan
Col. F. A. Seely, of the U. S. pat.
ent office, remarks; “Obviously,
archaeology can find no trace of a re
moter age than that of stone ; but I
mistrust that the thoughtful anthropo
logist will accept the evidence of ear
lier ages, one of which, taking one of
its perishable materials as the type of
all, wo may call the age of wood.
S'ill farther back roust lie an age, as
indefinite i . duration as any, when
man existed in his rudest condition,
without arts of any kind, except such
as he employed in common with low.r
animals; and this is the truo primi
tive period.
Two of the known comets of short
period arrive at perihelion in 1884
D’Arrest's on January 13, and Bror
son’s about Septemb r. For several
months astronomers have been unsuc
cessfully watching for the former, and
it is prebable that it may pass unseen
at this return.
Among the scientific results of bis
Gieenland expedition Baron Nnrdensk
jold mentions the discovery that,, cen
trary to the general belief, the west
enast of Greenland ii wished by cold
water, while a greatly heated current
coining from the south runs along the
east coast at a short distance only from
the shore. This current must exercise
a great influence on the climate of the
east coast, which may be more moist
but, in the Baron’s opinion, sot colder
than that of the west coast.
In a preliminary paper read beforo a
recent meeting of the London Patholo
gical Society, Mr. Sutton and Dr.
Heneage Gibbes described an investi
gation now being made by them into
the tuberculosis of birds. They find
that the disease is very prevalent
among birds, and that it sometimes
becomes epidemic. ‘The effects do not
exactly correspond to those produced
in man by consumption, but the para
site present in both cases seems te be
the same. The disease virus appears
to be introduced with the food, and the
birds most liable to be affected are
ccDimon fowl, peacock, grouse, and
other graia-caters.
A remarkable feature of the two
satellites) of Mars, which were discov
ered about aix years ago by Prof.
Asaph Hal!, is the proximity of the
inner one to the planet, its distance
from the center of the latter body bo
ng about GOOO miles, and from the
surface loss than 4000. “If”, says
Prof. Newcomb, “there are any as
tronomers on Mars with telescopes and
eyes like ours, they can readily find
out whether this satellite is inhabiled,
the distance being less than one-sixti
eth that of the noon from us.”
At certain seasons a kind of fish
eaten in Bombay is liable to contain
very small worms, to which the na
tives often ascribe cases of cholera,
and several eases of the disease among
Europeans have followed a fish supper.

Mr. R. W. Jenkins, Nof Ceylon,
reports that in the mountain dis
tricts ef that island the volsaaic
explosions of Krakatoa were dis
tinctly heard, although 2,000 miles
distant. The sounds resembled
these of heavy cannon at a distance
of a few miles, or of dynamite rock
blasting a mile or so away. Prof.
R. A. Erector supposes that the
sound-waves were convoyed thro’
the earth’s crust, and not through
the air
A kind of timber found buried in
yellow clay in China, neartho bor
der ef Thibet, is stated by Mr. E
Calbeme Baber, of the British le
gation at Pekin, to bo held in high
esteem ae a material for coffins, on
account of the resistance it offers
to decay and insect ravages. A
single coffin made from its planks
is valued at an equivalent of 300
pounds sterling. Unfortunately
Mr Baber has been unable to give
any information concerning the
botanical character of the subter
ranean wood.
It seems that ibe injurious ef
fects sometimes resulting from the
use of canned foeds are not always
due to the presenco of lead in the
cans. At a late inquest near Lon
don, medieal evidence was given to
the effect, that death had been
caused by eating salmon which had
been poisoned through decomposi
tion by nitrato of tin formed by
the action of the preserved fish on
the tin of the can containing it.
A Girl’s Strange Powers.
The Cherokee section of Georgia
is greatly excited over the manifes
tations of Miss Lu! .Hurst, the fif
teen year-old daughter of Mr. Wto .
B Hurst, a substantial farmer of
Polk county. Tho stories told
were of such a strange character
that Colonel Freeman, of the C#a
dsrtown Advertiser, Dr. F. M,
Liddell, and several other promi
nent citizens wsnt out to Mr.
Hurst’s rosidenco for tho purpose
of investigating them. They found
the young woman te be the picture
ef health and of modest manner.—
Upon a request to manifest some of
ber newly developed powers, she
arose and placed her hands upon
the back of a commeu chair, which
soon began to move, first slowly,
then violently. The doctor was
requested to bold tbe chair. Be
ing unable to do so alone, two.
then three men, with no better #f
feet. Apparently there was not a
particle of physical force used by
the lady, her hands merely resting
carelessly on tbe back of the chair.
On a previous occasion four of the
stoutest men of the neighborhood
had found it impossible to held tbe
chair. A Urge old fashioned bed
stead steed with its head back in
the corner of the room. On the
foot of the bed, Miss Lula placed
her bands lightly, and it arose t vo
feet in the air ancl moved swiftly
around tbe reem.
Miss Lora Wimberly, a cousin
ef Miss Lula, while in bed recently
heard a thumping noise on the
headboard, which she thought was
produced by ber cousin with her
fingers, and she requested her to
stop and go to sleep. Miss Lula
protested innocence, yet the sound
grew mors audible. A playful re
•ark that it should strike ber
caused a sensation like a slight
shock, felt by Af i9B Wimberly
about the face. The sound was
then called to manifest itself, when
commanded, about the bed, and the
bed was finally commanded to
move, and, to the wonder of the
occupants, rolled briskly around
'the room. This is the circum
stance which led to the subsequent
experiments. On a recent occa
sion while Miss Lula was in bed
she thought of somo favorite air,
when its music emanated strangely
from the head board of tha bed,
and was heard by more than hall
a dozen present sitting in the room
On another occasion an uncle, a
man above the ordinary weight,
sat in a chair, his feet on the
rounds, while the lady placed her
hand with an under grip on the
upper back of the chaii and lifted
him across the room. These pea
pie k now nothing of spiritualism,
and are sorely troubled by mani
festations which thov deem the
work of an evil spirit. —[Ex.
A Washington correspondent of tie
Atlanta Constitution says; “Nine
miles from this place, on the Duoburg
road, a small oak tree was blown dowD
by yasterday's storm. Mr. John Frank
saw something shining as he was pas
sing and examined the rests ol tin
*auie. In the holo left by the tree h>
olaims to have found almost a p"ck ol
gold. The jewels were diamonds, rubies
and pearls, and parties who have seen
them say they are worth 815.040 or
f20,000. The belief expressed by the
few who have been fortunate enough
to see them is that they are a ol
the lot lost by tha Confederate CabTF
net, as they were on that road when
they were lost. It is supposed that
the party that buried it was killed
soon after, and consequently they were
never unearthed”

Messrs. Warren, Wallace &C0.,--ln answer to your inquiry ss to my opinio of
the Hall Gin, I think 1 can safely say, that 1 have never used a better (lie ibae the
Hal'. I have never socn anything to equal it in cleansing the seed of lint. 1 have
ginned ahoiit 40 bales of cotton on tire Gin, ami have saved half enough to pay fer it be
th way of clennPlig tge seed. It makes a good sample, equal le the best —as to durabil
ity it has no superior. 1 think the feeder is a goed thing. 1 have never used the eeiv
denser, therefore I cannot say anything as to its use, but it is highly recommended by
those that have used it. There is no Gin belter than the Hall, its capacity is geed
enough. On a4O saw Gin 1 can gin ti bales of cotton a day, making a good soneple,
with a four horse engine. Yours most respectfully, J W. MOO&kE.
