i SCIENTIFIC SCRAV'S. _— ~ Philosophers of our own time assert gf%*conn&tion between the spots on the Tgm of the sun and terrestrial weather. . Boston scientists have discovered jlfirhy trees do not flourish near electric - Dghts. They need the repose of dark f?;wf; The heliograph is used ‘o flash sig - mals between stations in New Mexico %mfl Arizona that are seventy-five miles A man with @ penchant for statis &fldfl has computed tha: more than 5?%4,000,000 miles of blood pass through Q?‘t’be veins of an ordinary human being %;dnring the lifetime of 70 years. @“\A Russian inventor secems to ques ~ tion the vaunted perfection of the wman body, and has patented an ar " rangement of springs and harness to be worn to faciiitate walking, running - and jumping. e A prominent English electrician af ~ firms the value of lightning conductors - although they are not always reliable. - He said that there is almost as much - danger of being hanged for murder as being struck by lightning. - In Northern Africa has lately been discovered a river that has worn a bed through the rock 300 feet deep, and - then makes a perpendicular leap 65) feet, while all around are deep, yaw ~ ning chasms and gigantic peaks. It has been proved that fish that live near the surface of water can only de ~ scend to a comparatively slight depth: _ under an increased pressure they die, and—this is very lemarkable—the _ifiyater being forced into their tissues, their bodies become rigid and brittle a 3 glass. ‘ Lake Chelan, in Eastern Washing ton, never freezes, although in latitude 48 degrees north. The reason given is that it is so deep and the warm wa ter always rises from the bottom to supplant the cold, which goes down to warm itself. The Indians fish in the lake at all seasons and use salmon eggs for bait. A professor in the University of Klausenburg claims to have com pounded a solution which completely . neufralizes the poison introduced into the system by the bite of a mad dog. This solution consists of chlorine _water, salt brine, sulphurous acid, ~ permanganate of potassium, and eu ~ calyptus oil. - Mr. Stejneger of the Smithsonian éfistitution al Washington in 1882 found on the northwestern extremity _of Behring Island the bones of Pallas’s cormorant, the extinetion of which in ~ the North Pacific corresponds to that ~of the great auk in the North Atlan tlc The eggs are unknown and only éf&mr specimens of the skin are to be %;}_itound in Imuseums. ' The electric headlight, which has %baen tested on railway engines dur ~ ing the past three months, is declared )aperfect success. It throws the light from half to three-quarters of a mile _ ahead—far enough to stop a train _ running sixty miles an hour in time to e event an accident. Another advant fi‘a the light has is that it 18 thrown _directly in front of the locomotive ;gmd does not illuminate the side of é‘fi\g track to any extent. ég Edison’s Simple Ways. Edison is a Count, a millionaire and . the most famous living inventor. His . present wealth, which amounts to “*py millions is as nothing to what it ~ will be in the next few years; but he ‘;' works away in his laboratory, and . comes forward to greet youm in just ‘,‘.?asuit of clothes as he wore twenty ' years ago. As compared with Edison’s (igingy little shop of twenty years ago, {‘h.é;'i‘kt Menlo Park, in which he used }'g.his bread and cheese seated on -an old packing-box, talking over the _ work in hand with his two or three ¥’; en, the present surroundings / lously luxurious, Everything unbounded means, which may be the case when we remémber that his * famous laboratory costs $200,000 a 3 "sh: ' But the master SR L the samo. . When be S Weng work for us men. - In L N R sl tncommon thing for him to remain st e e B G L ) g SoTane mfi g e *‘ fi Insect Superstition. Insect superstition is very ancient. The l Koran says all flies shall perish save one —the bee fly. It is regarded as a death warning in Germany to hear a cricket’s cry. The Tapuya Indians in South Amer ica say the devil assumes the form of a fly. Rain is, in some parts of the coun try, expected to follow unusually loud chirping of crickets, Flies are regarded as furnishing prognostications of the | weather, and even of other events. Span- { inrds in the sixteenth century believed that spiders indicated gold when they were found in abundance. Although a sacred insect among the Egyptians, the beetle received but little notice in folk lore. It is unlucky in England to kill one. In Germany it is said to indicate good luck to have a spider spin his web downward toward you, but bad luck when he rises toward you. The grass hopper is a sufficiently unwelcome visit ant of himself in this country, but in Germany his presence is further said to announce strange guests. A Welsh tra dition says bees came from paradise, leav ing the garden when man fell, but with God’s blessing, so that wax is necessary in the celebration of mass. The ancients generally maintained that there wasa close connection between bees and the soul. Porphyry speaks of ‘‘those souls which the ancients call bees.” It is said that upon the backs of the seven-year locusts there sometimes appear marks like a letter of the alphabet. When this looks like a W it is thought that war is imminent. German tribes regard stag beetles as diabolic, and all beetles are de tested in Ireland, more especially a bronze variety known as ‘‘goldie.” It is also believed that to see a beetle will bring on rain the next day. Henry Grady’s Youth. The first school that Mr. Grady at tended was taught in an humble little ivy-covered, one*room frame building by a lady who came to Georgia from New England several years before the war. Young Grady was nine years old when first put under the tutorship of this esti mable and cultivated lady, and continued under her training and guidance for two years, But about this time the first guns of the civil war were summoning fathers of both Southern and Northern children to the front; and among the first that left Athens was Major W. S. Grady. He was ordered to go to Asheville, N. C,, where he was placed in command of sev eral companies that were mustering for the great conflict. Here he was in camp for many months, drilling his companies and schooling them generally in matters of warfare. While thus occupied Major Grady was often visited by young Henry Grady and his mother; and it is said that even then, while but a ten-years-old boy, his sympathies were so evenly balanced that he gave utterance to similar senti ments to those which in after days were so characteristic of his great speeches. In fact, all through his boyhood he was known among his schoolmates to have been, while a loyal lover of his native South, always seemingly thoughtful of the nation’s welfare, as truly as on the night when, as has been said, ‘he plan ed the standard of the Southern democrat in Boston’s banquet hall, and discussed the problem of the raccs in the home of Phillips and of Sumner.”—New England Magazine A Greenhouse Turtle. The species of turtle which is the sub ject of the following item from the American Garden is very common .in Florida and might in many instances be made useful. ‘ln looking through a private greenhouse a few days since we made the acquaintance of a box-turtle, a species common in this section. We asked what his duties were, and found him invaluable in clearing out snails of all denominations, woodlice; in chort, every variety of creeping, crawling in sects. The gardner assurel us his ser vices were of more value than those of a man.” Miss Gippings—‘Oh, papa! What can be more brilliant than a diamond?” Mr. Giddings—‘‘A girl's wits when she wants one.” . Machinery. Joe S. Nix and Thomas Camp are engaged in the sale of Steam Engines, Saw Mills, Cotton Gins and other machinery in the city of Atlanta, and since they have been in business have sold over scven hundred engines in Georgia. ‘lhe relation steam power bears to the development and civilization of our country is wonderful. e et . e Men would not care to be wicked if women did not look on naughtiness with mingled dread and admiration.

It does everytime what is ex pected of it, If used for chills and tever it cures as certainly and completely as water ‘ quenches thirst. In many localities it has al most altogether taken the place of quinine. It has surer effect on chills and fever than quin ine, for it has cured many cases where quinine did no T:)od whatever, and then it never pro duces the after effect quinine frequently has on the system, such as nausea in the stomach, headache, dizzy sensations, etc. When a per son has once used it in place of quinine they will ever afterwards prefer it.
