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 of electricity has been introduced at the Court Optra at Vienna, The ef. 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. The work af the municipal labo ratory at Pari* in testing food sub stances results in some 'interesting disclosures. It has lately rersalsd Devoted to the Cause of Truth and Justice, and (he Interests of Ihc People. GREENESBORO’, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1884, the fact, that spurious fruit flavors are extensively made and acid in that city, the flavors of the straw berry, pineapple, melon, apple, pear, cherry, plum, apricot and peach being successfully imitated by artificial chemical compounds. Aso called gooseberry jelly was examined, and prered to have been made freon sea-weed. 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” jjjijlj POWDER Absolutely Pure. This Powder never varies.
