Cariosities of Science. IRRITABILITY OF A REPTILE HEART. Prof. Buthcrford, of Kings College, England, is now lecturing on physiolo gy. He narcotized a frog with opium, and then took nut the heart and placed it on a glass plate in a little pool of serum, just to keep the organ moist. Strange to say, it kept on pulsating pre cisely as when iu the body. Alter watching the phenomenon awhile, he cut the throbbing heart transversely in two pieces, through tho middle of the ventricles. The apex was quiescent, but the base continued pul sating as before. Why the death of one part and not the other ? Dividing the eontractilo muscular fibres by which contractions were performed explains the rationale of the experiment in re gard to tho quiet half of the heart. CHROMIC ACID. Asa disinfectant, this article is recom mended on high chemical authority. It is also an antiseptic. It acts in that character by coagulating protean com pounds, a marvellous property, harden ing animal tissues very quickly. Why would it not be a valuable arti cle in tanning? With ten times the coagulating power of carbolic acid, especially with albumous solutions, it seems destined to bo an agent of too much value to bo overlooked in many arts. CLINICAL AL'SCULATION. Dr. Griffiths, of the Royal Irish Col lege of Surgeons, proposes a common tuning fork for ascertaining tho normal or abnormal condition of tho viscera. It is a curious circumstance, quite new, that when tho forks are vibrating, if ap plied to the chest or abdomen, a positive difference of sound is perceived between a diseased or a sound organ over which it is placed. Practice is required to fully appreciate this novel method of internal explorations. PUBLIC HEALTH. At no period in the history of Eng land has bo much scientific attention been given to public health and tho means of promoting it as at present. Even government recognizes the duty of car ing for the masses by giving the poor pure air for respiration, the first demand of their nature, and tho next is whole some food. In most of the large towns, health officers are instructed to bo vigilant. Common sewers give more trouble than very many ordinary nuisances, because there is generated within them the vilest gases. Where they are imperfectly con structed, they become laboratories in which are manufactured the seeds of death. Jio vapors are so noxious, or so charged with poisons as escaping gas from sewers. Our cities should also be equally vigilant—life being a precious boon. INCREASE OF LUNACY. Wherever the strife for position and wealth is most active, there men and women are prone to distraction. Wound ed pride, disappointed expectations, re ligious exaltation, and a determination to rule or ruin, appertain to countries where civilization is most advanced, and the difficulty of procuring subsistence becomes difficult in consequence of a density of population. Everywhere in the oldest centres of refinement in Eu rope insanity is immensely on tho in crease. So it is in the old Stater of this country. Massachusetts has already three large public insane institutions, and another is needed. Boston has one, and then the richly endowed McLano Hospital at Somerville, besides several private asylums, are cited in proof of this opinion. The State of New York is also becoming too much distinguished for insanity. LUMINOSITY OF THE SEA. Prof. Panceri, of Naples, alter a long series of experiments on the phospliores nnce of the sea, is satisfied he has solved that difficult problem. Heretofore the theory of that aquatic lire which gives waves in a dark night the appearance of liquid fire, was an an imation from phosphoric matter in the bodies of very small aquatic mites, so in calculably numerous their combined luminous points gave a volume of bright ness on agitating the water. But Prof. Panoeri says it is not living organized forms that produce the phenomenon, but the dead matter or desquamations of the surface of their tiny bodies, ab sorbing solar light, which is given ont when put in undulatory motion. There is an analogy in this, found in decayed wood and putrescent fish, which becomes wonderfully phosphorescent in a moist atmosphere. NICKEL PLATING. Quite anew art has been introduced to tho world of manufactures by Mr. Isaac Adams, of Boston. Although an art, it belongs to science, and is, there fore, of interest to chemists. Plating with nickel is accomplished by elec trolysis. The process is simple, but un fortunately being patented, the price es a right to use it is too expensive to he extensively employed. A NEW FOSSIL BIRD. Prof. O. 0. Marsh, of California, has discovered the skeleton of a biped in the upper cretaceous formation of Western Kansas, that was five feet high. It must have been extinct many ages. A llockj Mountain Cat. Jim Stewart, sometimes called the ■* Commodore,” is the most noted darkey in Erie. He is a good-natured, shrewd sort of a fellow, somewhat addicted to doing business now and then on the Jeremy Diddler style, as the following incident will testify: Living near the residence of the lion. Morrow C. Lowry, he was frequently employed by the lat ter to do odd jobs around the house and in the garden. One day Mrs. Lowry concluded that the peccadilloes of a worthless tom-cat, long attached to the family, were such as demanded the in fliction of capital punishment, and Jim was called upon to play the part of exe cutioner. After a long chase the victim was captured and put iy a basket, over which an old shawl was fastened. The next move was how to dispose of the prisoner. Mrs. Lowry suggested drown ing, but Jim, with tears in his eyes, pro tested that he could no more drown the cat than he could drown himself; that were he to do so, his conscience, acting on a naturally tender heart, would trou ble him so much at nights that ho was sure that he would never sleep a wink thereafter. Not wishing to ruin Jim’s peace of mind, Mrs. Lowry compromised the matter by giving him a dollar, and directing him to dispose of it any way he pleased, so that she should never see it again. Putting the dollar in his pock et and the basket under his arm, Jim atarted down town. He had not gone out of sight of the house when he met Morrow walking along leisurely toward his home, and tho following colloquy en sued : Morrow—Hello, Jim, what have you got there ? Jim—Ono ob do celebrated Rocky Mountain cats, sah. Morrow—A Rocky Mountain cat ? Why, Jim, where did you get him, and what aro you going to do with him ? Jim—l goby, sah! Didn’t you heah ob de big bunch ob dem oats oum to town yesterday from ICalforny, sah? Best mousors in the wurl, sah, and dis is de biggest and bes’ one ob de lot, sah. Dey are gwine to give me foah dollars for him at do Reed House, sah. Morrow (rccollocting the general “cus sedness” of tho family cat) —Jim, wo want a good cat up home, and I guess 1 11 take this fellow, but—but—don’t you think four dollars is steep for a cat ? Jim—Why, all de res’ sold for five dol lars, sah. This decided Morrow, so he paid tho price asked, and told him to carry the “Rooky Mountain cat” up to Mrs. Low ry. Jim had, however, very important business elsewhere, and he begged Mor row to take tho basket himself, wluch the latter consented to dp. Arriving at homo, he took tho prize into the sitting room, carefully closed the doors, slightly lifting the basket-covering, and smiling benevolently' at Mrs. Lowry'’s apparent astonishment, remarked : “My dear, I’ve bought you a Rocky Mountain cat—the best mouser —” At this moment the cat jumped out of the basket and commenced rubbing him self against his master’s logs. Morrow stopped short, while his wife broke out impatiently : “La me, Morrow ! Why, that’s the same cat I gave Jim Stewart a dollar to drown not more than ten min utes ago.” What followed we know not, but a few minutes later the Hon. Morrow B. Lowry might have been noticed on the streets of Erie, armed with a walking stick, and wondering “ why a man can never find that nigger when ho wants to see him badly!” Housekeepers and Housekeepers. It is a well known fact that many- per sons have very fine and orderly houses, but have, after all, no home, for Horne's not mnrelv Tour squnro walls, > hough with pi ture* and gilded ; H«me is where affection calls, Fillart with shrines the heart has builded. A hoinekeoper is one who makes all the ways and convenience of the house con duce to the comforts of the inmates. She will allow the members of the house hold to build each a shrine, and will treat it as sacred, because it is a shrine to the one who has builded it. The daughter is not called an idle thing be cause sho wishes to know her tune, and gazo wistfully toward the horizon ; nor is the son reproved if he shall slam around, and wish he was anywhere but idling at home. Gradually the house keeper will quietly aid the first to search for beauty this side the horizon, and that boy will find a vent for his activity without seeing he was gently led to it by an overseeing love. A house that is blessed with a house keeper has an infiuenco that even strangers feel. They receive that rest which comes from the “ fitting of self to its sphere.” The order of the house may be mechanical like that of a loom or a harp ; but, like these mochanical things, it conduces to results, and justi fies itself by tissues of more than silken fineness, and music sweeter than that of the spheres. If there is a homekeoper the housework is not in utter confusion, if perchance one rises an hour too late. Servants are not expected to perform miracles, and keep coifee and toast hot and fresh for an hour. Breakfast, such as late risers should expect, is eaten in peace, and not in a flurry of excuses for not having a meal that it was impossible to furnish without inconvenience and discord in the kitchen for the whole day. It is foolish to attempt to keep a restau rant with only tho arrangement suited to a small family. The peace of many a family is des troyed by attempting impossibilities. The breakfast of the late riser need not have an added tirade against servants. Realizing that the guest regrets his tar diness, she lets the cold breakfast suffice, hut does what she can by word, look, and act to make the best of what cannot bo helped, and really so calls out the gratitude of the late riser, and ever after that breakfast is a bright and pleasant memory ; for he feared he was a nuis ance, yet without direct word he felt that his act did not discommode the ar rangement of the house. His best thought was called out, and that house will stand to him in after life as a home, for “ there is where the heart can bloom.” Housekeeping can be done by any ener getic woman. Homekeeping requires that the woman’s heart and wisdom be greater than her house, and that she keeps the house, only that in it life can be lived with love and truthfulness. Lightning Freaks. All Almeda, California, paper, of tho 30th ult., thus describes a recent thunder storm there: “ Suddenly ceasing, ap parently to take breath, darkness came over us again, and in an instant a ter rific crasli was heard, and heforc we could turn our eyes to the street a stream of light, such as we have not seen for a score of years, completely enveloped everything in the vicinity. Almost im mediately after the falling of the thun derbolt, people were seen making their way to the railroad station. Hastily donning our bat, we rushed to the de pot to find that the lightning bad shat tered the telegraph apparatus and en tirely broke the connection. Miss Ellen Babcock (a pupil of Mr. Dicker, the operator) was sitting at the table, facing the instrument, in the act of receiving a message, when the crash came; and, although completely stunned,she escaped uninjured. One-half of tho sheet of pa per upon which she was writing was thoroughly scorched. The presumption is that the bolt struck first a telegraph pole at the comer of Railroad and Buena Vista avenue, which is bent from its position and shattered at its top, throw ing splinters a distance of fifty yards, and then branching oif, sought the oper ating rooms at A. A. Cohen’s residence, and tho business office at the depot. At Mr. Cohen's house the batteries were shattered, as well as a library in tho room where tho children were at play, bnt the lightning made its way out of an open window without damage to an individual. At the business office, after splintering tho polo at tbo end of the building, the lightning made its way into the operating room, when finding no outlet, it demolished everything, with in its reach. The bolt or hall was soon to drop at a dozen different places, as many different persons having assured us that they saw it drop and explode in front of their various localities. AGRICULT URA L. Coen Fodder.—The opinion vre Lava always hold upon tho question of tho value of green com fodder for milch cows has been that when raised from "broad cast sowing it is nearly worthless, but when sown in hills or in drills, and culti vated with access of air and sunlight, it is of high value. During tho presout season wo have made some experiments to test tho correctness of those viows. Stalks were collected from a field whore the seed was sown broadcast, and also stalks growing in drills upon the same field, and they were dried in a drying closet to expel the moisture. Both speci mens wore planted at tho same time, the Gth of May, and it was found that the plants from the broadcast sowing con tained 9J per cent, of water, those from drills S3 per cent. Thus it was shown that the difference of solid matter in the two was relatively' as 8 to 17 per cent. The solid matter was composed of starch, gum, sugar, and woody fibre. There was almost an entire absence of sugar and gum in the stalks from the broad cast sowing, while tho stalks that had grown under the influence of light and air hold these nutrient principles in con siderable quantities. The stalks were collected at the period of growth just be fore tho ear begins to form, a period when most farmers begin to cut the fod der for their cows. Our experiments upon corn fodder have afforded us im portant information upon other points. We find that the stalks out before they roach a certain stage of growth are de ficient in nutrient matter, and therefore it is a waste to feed them too early. The corn plant, like all other vegetable struc tures, has but ono object or aim in its growth, and that is to produce seed. It is engaged during its whole life in stor ing up large quantities of starch, which is to be used when the pressing occasion arrives, or the seed vessels mature, to form by some subtle, mysterious changes, the rich nutrient principles which are found in seeds. As soon as this struggle is over, the corn plant, like aniinals, dies a natural death. It is not necessary for frost to strike it, it dies from simple ex haustion. The proper time to cut and food cornstalks is during the first four or five weeks which succed inflorescence, or, in other words, they should not be cut until the flower is fairly developed, and the car commences to form; and any com that is so planted that the ear can not form and mature is practically worth less for fodder. Farmers may' learn from these facts that corn designed to be cut for fodder should be planted at two or three periods during the season; some fields quite early, others somewhat later, and still others as late as safe. Iu this way, when the hot, dry months of July and August are reached, and the pastures falter, a supply of fodder is secured at a proper stage of growth to afford the largest amount of nutriment.— Dr. Sich ols in Journal of Chemistry. Cisterns for Surface Water.— Each year over considerable portions of the country farmers are put to much an noyance and extra labor, and their stock to considerable actual • suffering on ac count of scarcity of water. Where water from the wells is difficult to obtain, a good cistern is perhaps the best way by which to obtain water. But many farmers in the West have small build ings and tho water from the roofs would be but of limited amount. To such we recommend tho digging of cisterns iu which to collect and hold water from the earth’s surface. In a very large num ber of cases sufficient fall can be found near the farm buildings, for the purpose. The water from the winter rains and melted snow from a half acre of land even, will be a very large amount. A party of wits onee stopped at a tav ern. When the feast was over, one of the members called to tho hostess. “ An golique,” ho said, “I am going to give you a lesson in astronomy. Have y r ou not heard of the great Platonic year, when everything must return to its former condition ? Know, then, that in sixteen thousand years we shall be here again, on tho same day and at the same hour. Will you give us credit till then ?” The hostess, however, had her reply. “I am perfectly willing,” she retorted, “ but it is just sixteen thousand years since you were here before, and you left with out paying ; settle the old score, and I will trust you on the new.” We translate the following notice from the Cincinnati VolksUatt, edited by Fred erick Hassurek: “The Kew York Evening Mail has commenced the issue of a weekly edi tion, to which we desire to call the at tention of such of our readers as wish to subscribe for a first-class literary and political newspaper.

Doran, M. D., of Logan county, Ohio, says: “Allen’s Lung Balsam not only sells rapidly, but gives perfect satisfaction in every case within my know ledge. Having confidence in it, and knowing that it possesses valuable medicinal properties, I freely use it mmy daily practice aud with unbounded success. As an expectorant it is most certainly ahead of any pre paration I have ever yet known.” Nathaniel Harris, M. D., of Middlebury, Vermont, says: “ I have no doubt it will soon become a classical remedial agent for the cure of all diseases of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and the Lungs.” Physicians do not recommend a medicine which lia? no merits; what they say about ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM Can be taken as a fact. Let all afilictod test it at once. Dr. A. L.SCOVILL is the inventor ofsevoral medici nal preparations which have become very popular and have been liberally used. Among his inventions aro “ Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs” and “Liverwort and Tar." For the past ten years a better Lung remedy has been offered to tho public. Read tho following let.er from Dr. Scovill referring to it: Messrs. J. N. HARRIS & CO.: Gents l make the following statement from a per fect conviction and knowledge of the benefits of Al len’* Lung Balsam in curing the most deep-seated Pulmonary Consumption I have witnessed its ef fects on the young and tho old, and I can truly say that it is by far tho best expectorant remedy with wnich I am acquainted. For Coughs, aud all the early stages of Lung complaints, I believe it to be a certain cure, and if every family would keep it by them, ready to ad minister upon the first appearance of disease about the Lungs, there would be very few cases of fatal consump tion. It causes tho phlegm and matter to raise, with out irritating those delicate organs (the Lungs), and without producing constipation of the bowels. It also gives strength to the system, stops the night-sweats, and changes all the morbid secretions to a healthy state. Yours, Respectfully, A. L. SCOV ILL. It will euro when all others fail.

A remedy at hand for the many pains and aches, wounds and bruises to which flesh is heir. In more easily applied than many other remedies, never producing a bad effect, but always relieving pain, however severe. It is prepared by Miss Sawyer, who has used it in her own extensive treatment of the sick, for nearly twenty years, with great success. The principal diseases for which this salve is rec ommended are. Chilblains, Rheumatism, Piles, Scrofula , Old Ulcers , Salt Rheum, Sprains, Earns, Fever Sores, Felons, Pimples, Erysipelas, Sore Eyes, Barbels Itch, Deafness, Roils , Ring-worms, Corns, Rites of Insects, Cancers, Toothcche, Ear ache, Sore Nipples, Baldness, Swollen Breasts, Itch, Scald Read, Teething , Chapped Rands, Scalds, Cuts, Bruises, Croup, Cracked Lips, and Sores on Children It never falls to cure Rheumatism if properly applied. Hub St on well with the hand three times a day. In several cases it has cured palsied limbs. For Piles it has been discovered to be a sure rem edy. Persons that have been afflicted for years have been relieved by a few applications. For Ery sipelas it works wonders, allaying the inflammation and quieting the patient. For ('happed J funds it produces a cure immediately. Let those with Salt Rheum obtain this Salve, and apply it freely, and they will find it invaluable. It is got/d in cases of Scrofula and Tumors.

They are not a vile Fancy Drink, Made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Liqu ovs doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,cnlled “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers, that lend the tippler on to drunkonness and ruin,but aro a true Medicine, made from the Native Roots and Herb* of California, free from nil Alcoholic Siinm lantn. They are the GREAT BLOOD PURI FIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Renovator and Invigorntor of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring thohlood to a healthy condition. No person can take these Bit ters according to directions and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poisoner other means, and tho vital organa wasted beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Purgative no well u* a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam mation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at t he turn of life, those Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Inflnntuialory anil Chronic Rhouma ciwni and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fe vers, Diseases of the Blood. Liver, Kid neys and Bladder, these Bit lers have been most successful. Kuc!i Diseases are caused by V EI inted Blood, which is generally produced by deianiement of the Digestive Organs.

Humors and Diseases of tho Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dng up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of tln-se Bitter*. One bottle in such cases will conviuoo tlni most incredulous of their cura tive eflects. Cleanse tlie Vitiated Blood whenever yon find its fm purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup tions or Sores ; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in tho veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the svstem will follow. Pin, Tape, aud other Worms* lurking in tho system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon tlie healthy elements of tho body that worms exist, hut upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No Sy.st.ern of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. J. WALKEIt, Proprietor. It. H. MCDONALD Ar GO., Druggists and Gen. Agents. San Francisco.
