SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.
Admiral de Jonquieres.of the French
navy, has called attention to a remark¬
able phenomenon which may be wit¬
nessed at Papeete, in the Society is¬
lands. At this point there is but one
tide a day instead of tlie two which
occur at other places on the sea.
M. Aime Girard, after careful ex¬
amination of the composition aad ali¬
mentary value of the different por¬
tions of a grain of wheat, concludes
that it ia advisable to reject, as far as
possible, tho outer layers and reserve
the farinaceous portions only for hu¬
man food.
Lyell estimated that the gorge of
Niagara river was cut out in about
35,000 years, but, surveys to determine
the present recession of the fails indi¬
cate that tiie work may have been
done in 10,000 years. During forty
one vears the average annual wear of
the rock was 2 3-4 feet
A microscopist, Air Spencer Moore,
has shown that the bacteria which
produce or accompany “sweating of
the feet” are identical with those pro¬
ducing chemical action in the soil. In
the latter situation they reduce the
sulphates to sulphites, and the phos¬
phates to phosphites, and in both situ¬
ations are instrumental in setting free
ammonia.
Captain Trailt, a British navigator,
was surprised to find that an iceberg
encountered in the Atlantic on July
16th exerted no appreciable influence
on the temperature of the surrounding
water, the thermometer standing at
about 57 degrees for several miles on
eit her side of the immense ice mass
and within a few hundred feet of it.
Analyses have shown that thefallen
leaves of maple contain four per cent,
of valuable matter (soda, potash, lime
magnesia, phosphorous and sulphur
compounds), and poplar and willow
live per cent, or more, and that conse¬
quently the trees constantly manure
(he surface soil beneath their branch¬
es. Other leaves examined contained
about two per cent, of fertilizing sub¬
stances.
Lieut. J. 1*. Finley, of the United
States Signal Service, has found that
the West is not, as is popularly sup¬
posed, the peculiar home of the tor¬
nado in the United States, such storms
being much more frequent in the
South QLthe 180 tornadoes which
occurred last year within the bounda
ries of the Union, only 59 visited the
Western States and Territories, while
the Southern States had 105. The
Western gales are, however, usually
'
more severe and destructive than those
of other localities.
Relic Hunters.
The trouble experienced by ihe
guards, at the Grant obsequies and at
his tomb, to prevent the petty thefts of
relic-liunters,is appreciated here, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Budget. Many of the thousands
who . annually lt vi3it . this metropolis are
possessed with an Insane desire to carry
away some souvenir of their visit, ab
stracted from a public building or
work of art, if possible. During the
war one of theso relic-hunters nearly
drove old Major II. B. French crazy,
by breaking off and carrying away one
of the toes of George Washington, as
represented in marble by G reenough.
A marble worker finally relieved the
Major’s troubles by making a new toe,
which was ingeniously a m nted on.
