Sensational Science.
A Startling Theory—Hydrogen and Source
of Life—Also of All Matter—Cosmogony
Simplified—Loves and Hates of Atom
Souls—Dreaming Plants and Pietures on
Dead Eyes.
[From the New York Mercury.]
Every newspaper reader is aware
that Mr. Joseph Norman Lockycr, the
celebrated English astronomer, has an¬
nounced the discovery that there is but
otie form, of matter truly elementary.
This primal element is introduced to
us in the shape of hydrogen. reduced French
chemists have recently hydro¬
gen from its gaseous form to a liquid
condition ; and almost simultaneously
the English scientist, by means of the
spectroscope, arrives at the conclusion
that “hydrogen can no longer be re¬
garded as a simple element.” He goes
lurther. He declares his conviction
that hydrogen is the one body of which
ail the elements in the chemist’s cata¬
logue is composed. So romantic ail arid the
startling an interpretation of
phenomena of animate and inanimate
nature—of all we can see or imagine
in the azure star-depths the of our own
planet—almost paralyzes imagina¬
tion. That the substance we have
hitherto known as one of the sixty odd
elements of great cosmical laboratory
should be endowed with such
PROTEAN CAPACITIES
of form is a conception which utterly
eclipses the wildest dreams of mytuolo
gists or alohe threshold mists. While demonstrating Locyker is
on the very of
that there is but a single element, the
great German scientist, Haeckel, boldly
enunciates the theory that there exists
in nature but a single lorce—the me¬
chanical. See, now, how cosmogony is
simplified governed ? Molecular by the simple atoms mechanical of hydro¬
gen attraction and repulsion
motions of ex¬
plain the universe. Henceloith there
is no more difficulty in accounting for
the phenomena of life than for the fal¬
ling of a stone to the earth. "Ail the
natural bodies with which we are ac¬
quainted aie
EQUALLY LIVING.
Every atom of matter has a soul—-the
atom-soul ”
Query—“What (by is the ‘atom-soul ?’ ”
Answer Prof. Lockyer)—“Hy¬
drogen.” “There is difficulty,"
no continues
Haekel, “as regards the central soul,
mind or spirit of man. All snuLlife or
middle-life which you will, is ultimate¬
ly referable to the two simple func¬
tions of sensation and motion. The
simple simple sensation of like and dislike, the
motions attraction and repul¬
sion, make up all the complicated com¬
binations of the mental faculties.’ The
love and hate of hydrogen ; the attrac¬
tion and repulsion of hydrogen mole¬
cules-the flirtation of hydrogen atom
souls—these constitute creation and the
glories thereof. The psycologieai prin¬
ciple is the same in plants as in aui
maK t is long since plants were
.iiu-fit napping. Recently it has been
d'.-covered i hilt they dream. Mr.
Prahofi Dc win, M. B., says: “I have

tomed to term poetic inspiration. Ten- j

these remarkable lines:
One God, one law, element,
And one far oft' divine event.
To which the whole creation moves.
Prof. Huxley has remarked that the
“pathways of seience are strewn with
the murdered myths of antiquity.”
While this is uudeniable, it is equally
true that science is iastumental in re
suscitatiug many a previously rejected
superstition. From comparatively an¬
cient times we derive the superstition
that the last object visible to the dying
eye is imperishably photographed readers upon
the dead retina. Most will le
call to mind tales of retributive justice
based upon the identification and con¬
viction of a murderer througli the
agency of his photograph
IN A DEAD MAN’S EYE ;
and within the last decade the plot of
a play, not to mention half a dozen
stnsation novels founded upon the same
thesis, has been constructed to turn
upon the terrible witness of such s
rogue’s gallery. The fact has been
authoritatively denied over an<3 over
again by physiologists of established re¬
putation, sneered at as a relic of meta¬
physical speculation reinforee by mor¬
bid fancy, and finally committed to the
limbo of utter impossibilities. Bat of it
turns out that this grim conception
poetic justics was founded on fact.
A RESURRECTED MYTH.
The much discussed question of
spontaneous combustion, since Lo<k
yer’s discovery of all-prevailing and ail
prevading hydrogen, promises to be
another.
Since Lockyer’s discovery of the
hydrogen will atom-soul, however, no one
be likely to call in question the
great fact of spontaneous combustion.
Physiologists henceforth will cudgel
their brains in a probably vain attempt
to account for the very small percentage
of cinerating calamities of the spotane
ous kind.
Tried ’Em AH.
One of the editors of this paper has,
for several days—three days we believe
—been suffering with a severe sore
throat. During different this period remedies he has on y
tried eleven with the
hope of effecting a cure, but at this
writing he remains unimproved. At
first, some one suggested a gargle of
acetic acid and salt, and he gave it a
test without any visible change. Then
a friend told him that alum dissolved in
the mouth was a guaranteed cure, but
this also failed. A chlorate of potash
gargle was prescribed by a physician,
and that didn’t do any good; then bit¬
ters and potash with the same result,
And then some motherly adviser told
him a few whisky toddies would soon
make him ferget he ever had a sore
throat—he tried this too, with pleasure,
but the disease stuck to him, and “no
better” resulted again. Night before
last he went to bed with a neck satu¬
rated with turpentine with a rag
around it, and the morning found him
the same sick editor. Four successive
doses of laudanum, the four more of
paregoric, and still no improvement.
day, Yesterday, he ate potash straight all
interspersed between times with
draughts and of sage tea and alum gargle,
closed the struggle by devouring a
lemon—still no change! We are dis¬
heartened ourselves, and if we didn’t
feel like we’d discourage our brother,
we’d merely suggest that he have tne
tonsils punctured with caustic, cut off,
or, some other painless (?) operation
performed. His case is getting serious.

Our brother should have simply put
a wet towel around his neck aad
several dry ones over it, and he would
soon be all right. We do not cha v ge

Christians anti Israelites.

misfortune to be remembered by
both minister and people; but it has
served to give yet another proof of the

gregation had scarcely realized their
loss before they received messages of
condolence, often accompanied by offers
of material aid. Nor were they con
fin ®d to the adherents of the special
tenets and observances of the Baptist
creed. Lutheran, Methodist and Epis
copalian ministers and a Catholic priest
were foremost in the good work of
saving valuable books and papers from
the flames, and the smoke of the ashes
was hardly laid before another congre
gation set another example of warm
hearted and generous liberality. It
was one not included in the Christian
ranks, but composed of a people who,
in all cases of distress, have been
the first to answer to an appeal
for aid. As soon as the President at d
i Trustees of the Israelite Temple Share
Emeth heard of the ioss, they held a
meeting, and, with the full concurrence
and support of their rabbi, offered the
Baptists, who were thus left without
a church, the free use of the Temple
until they could rebuild their own
house of worship.

How Frank Pierce’s Secretary of war Could’nt
Take a Joke.
[Jerome’s Letter to Indianapolis Journal.]
"But there’s one thing about him,”
said Mulford, “that I don’t believe has
ever been published—a When Frank pratical Pierce joke,
of course.” was
President Jeff Davis, then Secretary of
War, issued a general invitation to the
officers of the army who were skillful
draughtsmen to send in suggestions for
the new uniform which it hau been de¬
cided to adopt. One such invitation
was sent to each officer.
Lieutenant Derby was very ready
with his pen—a really ingeoi !1c artist.
In reply he sent to the W>.r Depart¬
ment a design for a new uniform—or
rather a peculiar addition to the old
uniform—the amendment consisting
merely of a ring attached to the seat of
the trousers of each private soldier.
Each officer was to carry, instead of a
sword, a long pole, with a hook u the
end like a shepherd’s crook. r i ■ *-• pole
and the ring enabled officers to keep
privates from running away in battle.
Fugitives could be easily caught by it
and brought back. Stragglers could
be kept in line. Moreover t he ring
would be very useful in the cavalry
service to fasten soldiers to the Baddle
to prevent them from falling off, and
in the artillery service the rings were
to be used for draught purposes in the
absence of muels.
These specifications were accompanied
by the most grotesque pictures, back cowardly repre¬
senting officers hauling ring, caval¬
recruits by the serviceable
ry securely fastened to the top of their
steeds by the same device and artillery -
men harnessed to cannon, drawing
them through narrow defiles or up an
acclivity inaccessible to mules by cables
attached to the posterior staples.
On another sheet of bristol board was
an illustration in gaudy colors of Der¬
by's Rotary Mule Howitzer,” accompa¬
nied by the following description :
“Upon the back of a young and vigilant
mule strap a mouutain howitzer, the
muzzle pointing towards the tail. A
similar piece of ordnance is fastened
with iron bands under the animal’s
abd- men, the muzzle aimed between
his forelegs to the front. There are
four gunners—two to each piece—and
a ‘persuader,’ as he is called, whose
business it is to persuade the by mule to
stand firm and not retreat stuffing
him with oats after each discharge with
a tin sausage stuffer. When Indians
or other legitimate game appear in
view, the mule is, by a crank move¬
ment on the tail, limbered to the
It don’t make any difference which way
the mule faces (and here is where my
patent comes in) one gun is always
pointing towards the front. At the
command ‘Fire '’ the top howitzer is
discharged. The recoil throws the
mule on his back, bringing the second
gun into position. This is discharged,
which suddenly throws the mule to his
feet again, when the gunners swab out
the mule’s throat with hay and reload.”
The accompanying illustrations (in
brown, red, blue and gold, are still on
file in the War Department) represented
the rotary mule in seven different atti
tildes, looking contented and happy all
the time.”
