Won’t it be gay when everybody looks like a piece of pemmbulating up- holstered furniture ? A female infant‘was found on the porch of a house in Germantown,1’a., and carried to the poorhouse, where it was registered as “Dolly Varden.” The best Dolly Vntdcn story yet. is told of a young lady of Lime Rock, Arkansas, who had a very small kitten she named Dolly Varden, but as it progressed in age and other developments she discovered that it was not that kind of a cat, so she rc-christened it Thomas Vardcn.

In submitting to spectroscopic examina- tions a. certain residue left by the distillation of some impure selenium, Mr. Crookes, early in 1861, recognized in the spectrum before him a brilliant green line, from which he inferred the presence in the above residue of a new element; and by the end of the same year he had succeeded in establishing the tolerany wide distribution of this ele- ment, to which he gave the name' thallium ; in procuring it, though but in small quantity, in a separate state; and in" satisfying him of its metallic character.

Within a. few days he had stood there again, but what he snw did notanswer to the image his mind had carried for ten years. The rim of the precipice is more indented. Here and there a mass of rock has fallen, leaving a notch, the beginnings of a little horsrshoe. The great'horseshoe ltselt has changed. At the point of deepest water and deepest green the curve is deeply notched. Any observer whose knowledge of the falls covers only a few years will see that they are receding. The recession has been very slow, the speaker thought not more than six inches a year. At the present rate of recession it would have taken 75,000 years to cut the channel from Lewiston to the present site of the horseshoe. The speaker drew a section of the river bank from Lewiston upwards, and showed the seven groups of strata come to the surface between 'Lewiston and the falls. The rate of recession would depend on the character of the rock at the base of the falls. At the whirlpool a very hard, flinty sandstone appears on the water’s edge. Through this the tall would cut its way slowly. Here for ages the cataract was almost stationary. Above the new suspen- sion bridge the Clinton group dips to the water’s edge. These rocks are compact, and here the falls made another halt, Several thousand years are not enough. We can only approximate, but perhaps 150,000 would he a closer approximation to the age of the channel than 75.000 years. This is not all. We find an old river bed, filled with dritt, be- tween the whirlpool and St. David‘s. The fall began not at Lewiston, but at St, David’s. Perhaps 200,000 years for the entire history of the fall would not be above the demand. We think of this as long, and our wonder is that the falls are so old. But he who looks with a geologic eye thinks of the time as short; and his wonder is that the falls are so young. The upper lakes are old. Geo- logically, the lake era is very old. It was dry land long before the Alleghany moun- tains were lifted up. The river which drains it should be old. And yet the Niagara, perhaps, is only 200,000 years old I How shall we account {or the drainage of the lakes through so many millions of years not registered in the channels of Niagara. The speaker showed that the Niagara River at the head of the rapids is only thirty feet lower than the fees of Lake Michigan. A barrier more than thirty feet high, across the Niagara plateau, would throw the waters oi Lake Erie back on Lake Michigan, and the drainage would be through the Mississippi to the‘Gulf of Mexico. Western geologists have found an old river channel from the lake to the Illinois, and the speaker drew sections of a great barrier which once reached across the plateau. The old river bed in Illinois and the broken bridge across the Niagara plateau account for the extreme youth of the falls.

Falls. cent. by weight of the dust. Independently moreover of its occurrence in iron pyrites, thallium, though never forming more than a minute constituent of the dif- ferent minerals and mineral waters in which it occurs, is now known to be capa- ble of extraction from a great number and variety of sources. But from no other source is it so advantageously procurable as from the above mentioned fine deposit; and so early as the autumn of 1863, at the meeting of the British Association in Newcastle, the then mayor, Mr. I. Lowthian Bell, exhibited l several pounds, and Mr; Crookes no less than aquarter ofa hundred weight of thallium obtained from this comparatively prolific source. In one respect the discovery of thallium presented even a greater degree of interest than attached to the discovery of caesium ‘ and rubidium. For whereas these two elements were at once recog- jnized as analogues of the well-known metal potassium, :tballium can hardly be said, even at the present time, to be defi- nitely and generally recognized by chemisor as the analogue of any particular metal, ts as a member of any particular family of ele- ments. With each of such difi'erently char- acterized elements as potassium, lead, alu- minium, silver, and gold, it is associated by certain marked points of resemblance; while from each of them it is distinguished by equally well-marked points of difl'crence. Hence the necessity for subjecting thallium and its salts to a thorough chemical exami- nation, so as to accumulate a well-ascertained store of tacts with regard to it. And thanks to the careful labors of many chemists, more particularly of Mr. Crookes, in London, and of Messieurs Lamy and Willm, in Paris, our knowledge of the properties of thallium and its salts may compare not unfavorany with our similar knowledge in relation to even the longest known of the metallic elements. Still, it was not until our knowledge of indium had cul- minated in the determination of its specific heat only last year, that the position of thal- lium as an analogue of indium, and member of the aluminium family of elements, became unmistakably evident. ‘ -â€" There is a story of a grocer who is so economical that he sends home the bundles Lhi’sjcnstomers buy, and when they arrive at the-houses has the boy empty the paper bags afidrb'ring them back with the strings they were tied up with. That’s what’s you call a careful grocer. Indium was first organized in 1863, by Drs. Reich and Richter, in the zinc blende of Freiberg in Saxony, and by reason of the very characteristic spectrum affordedâ€" consisting of two bright blue or indigo bands, the brightest of them somewhat more refzangiblc than the blue line of strontium, and the other of them somewhat less refrangible than the in- digo line of potassium. Since. its first disâ€" covery, indium has been recognized in one or two varieties of wolfmm, as a not nnfre- quent constituent of zinc ores, and of the metal obtained therefrom, but always in a very minute proportion. Indeed, indium would appear to be an exceedingly rare ele- ment, far more rare than its immediate pre- deccssors in period of discovery. Its chief scource is metallic zincâ€"that of Freiberg, smeltcd from the ore in which indium was first discovered. contained very nearly half a. part of indium per 1,000 parts of zinc. Acon- siderable quantity on indium extracted from this zinc was exhibited in the Paris Exhibi- tion of 1867. _ This wx iter rechmends driving hal f-al-dozen nails into the trunk. Sevezai experiments of the kind have resulted succesfuily . A chemical writer on this subject says; “The oxidation or rusting of iron by the sap, evolves ammonia which, as the sap rises, will of course impregnate every part of the foliage and prove too severe a dose for a delicate palace of intruding insects!” Marseilles correspondence gives an account of one of the most startling and extraordinâ€" ary murders ever committed in France, the particulars of which have just been brought out by the trial of the assassins. Grego, a young and wealthy merchant, was the man murdered, and his murderers were two naâ€" tives of Tunis, Sitborn and Toledano, and their porter, one Nissim. They rented a warehouse in a silent and deserted street. Grego was invited to the place to meet some women, and he went. The room was dimly lighted. While he was chatting and wondering why the women did not arrive, one of the party gave a whistle. Nissim seized Grego by the throat, Sitborn quirkly threw a rope around his neck, and Toledeno smashed in his head with a life preset-yer. The victim never uttered a cry. The assassins gave him several more heavy strokes andlthen went to Sitborn’s house, where they washed the blood stains from their clothes. They then Went to Grego’s residence and took 500,000 francs from his safe. Toledano kept the lion’s share. After a division of the money, Sitborn discovered that he had mistaken the murdered man’s hat tor his own. He went out and bought a hat, and then calmly played a game of bil- liards. During the day the assassins con- sulted as to what to do with the body. They finally decided to put it into the sea. Nissim bought a. large trunk, and left it . at a butcher‘s door, asking the butcher to look out for it until his return In the afternoon Nissim drove up to the butcher’s door, picked up the trunk, and car- ried it to the warehouse. Meanwhile Sitbon and Toledano had bought a. large sack. They drew the sack over the body, and attempted to pack it into the chest. The corpse, how- ever had become stiff, and was too long for the trunk. Sitbon then went out and bor- rowed a saw, and Toledano sawed the legs off the corpse. They then jammed the body into the chest, emptied a bottle of coirgne upon it, and locked it up. They threw the corpse into the sea, whence it was afterwards washed ashore, and the assassins discovrred and ar- rested. On the trial the accused made effort to disprove the evidence. They displayed the most reckless, heartless conduct. Teledano’s servant testified that he saw blood spots on his master's pantaloons. Fearing that his evidence might be iatal to his master, he went home and cut his throat. Toledano’s mother and aunt have gone crazy, and are now in the lunatic asylum, and his father is not expected to live. They were all present- during the trial, where the most heartrending scenes were witnessed, All three of the prisoners were convicted ; Sitborn and Tole- dano were sentenced to death. and Nissim to the galleys for life. When sentence of death was pronounced upon 'l‘oledano, he fainted away, and was carried from the court ona stretcher. Nissim also swooned when his sentence was pronounced. A singular fact, and one worthy to be re- corded, was mentioned to us u. few days since by Mr.Alexandcr Drake, of Albemarle, He stated that whilst on a. visit to a neighbor, his attention was called to a large peach or- chard, every tree was totally destroyed by the ravages of the worm, with the exception of three, and these were the most thrifty and flourishing peachy-cos he ever saw. Theonly cause of their superiority known to his host was an experiment made in consequence of observing that those parts of worm-eaten timber into which nails had been driven were generally sound. When his trees were about a year old, he had Selected three of them, and driven a tenpenny nail through the body, as near the ground as possible. Whilst the bal- ance of his orchard had gradually failed, and firmly yielded to the ravages of the worms, these three trees, selected at random,‘ treated precisely in the same manner with the excep- tion of the nailing, had always been vigorous and healthy, furnishing him at that very pe: riod with the greatest profusion of the most lucious fruit. It is supposed that the salt of‘ iron furnished by the nail is offensive to the worm, whilst it is harmless, or perhaps ben- eficial, to the tree. A Chest 'l‘mgcdy in Frmwe. Nails in Frult Trees. We have mentioned one precautionary measure adopted by the ancients. Tho no- tion that lightning does not penetrate the earth to any considerable depth, was in an- cient times, awide-spread one. It is still prevalent in China and Japan. The Empe- rors of Japan, according to Kaempler, retire into a grotto, over which a. cistern of water had been placed. The water may be de- signed to extinguish fire produced by the lightning; but more probably it is intended as an acditional protection from electrical efl'ects. Water is so excellent a conductor of electricity,that under certain circumstances, a sheet of water affords almost complete pro- tection to whatever may be below ; but this does not prevent fish from being killed by lightening,as Arago has pointed out. In the year 1670, lightning fell on the Lake of Zirknitz, and killed all the fish in it, so that the inhabitants of the neighborhood were enabled to fill twenty-eight carts with the dead fish found floating on the surâ€" face of the lake. That mere depth is no protection is well shown by the tact that those singular vitreous tubes, called iulguri- ties, which are known to be caused by the action of lightning, often penetrate the ground to a depth of thirty or forty feet. And instances have been known in which light- ning has ascended from the ground to the storm-cloud, instead of following the reverse course. From what depth these ascending lightnings spring, it is impossible to say. Still we can scarcely doubt that a place un- derground, or near the ground, is somewhat safer than a place several stosies above the ground floor. Another remarkable opinion of the ancient was the belief that the skins , of seals or of snakes afford protection against 1 lightning. The Emperor Augustus, before mentioned, used to wear seal skin dresses under the impression that he derived safety from them. Seal-skin tents were also used by the Romans as a refuge for timid persons during severe thunder storms. In the Cevennes, Arago tells us, the shepherds are still in the habit of collecting the cast- ofi skins of snakes. They twist them round . their hats, under the belief that they there , by secure themselves against the effects of ‘ lightning. Whether there is any real ground r for this beli. fin the protecting eifects due to seal-skins and snake-skins, is not known; but there can be no doubt that the material and color of clothing are not without their importance. When the church of Chateau- neuHes-llloutiers was struck by lightning during divine service, two of the officiating priests were severely injured, while a third escapedâ€"wire alone were vestments ora- mented with silk. In the same explosion, nine persons were killed, and upwards of eighty injured. But it is noteworthy that several dogs were presentin the church, all of which were killed. It has also been ob- served that dark-colored animals are more liable tobe struck (other circumstances be- ing the same) than the light-colored. Nay, more ; dapplcd and picbald animals have been struck ; and it has been noticed that, after the stroke, the hair on the lighter parts has come 011° at the slightest touch, while the hair on the darker parts has not been at- fccted at all. It seems probable, therefore, that silk and felt clothing, and thick black cloth, afford a sort of protecticn, though net 8. very trustworthy one, to those who wear them. The notion has long been prevalent that metallic articles should not be worn during a thunderstorm. There can be no doubt that large metallic masses, on or near the person, attract danger. Arago cites a very noteworthy instance of this. On the 21st of July, 1819, while a thunderstorm was in progress, there were assembled twenty prisoners in the great hall of Biberach Jail. AmonIst them stood their chief, who had been condemned to death, and was chained by the waist. A heavy stroke of lightning fell on the prison, and the chief was killed, while his companions escaped. it is not quite so clear that small metallic articles are sources of danger. The fact that, when per- sons have been struck, the metallic portions of their attire have been in every case affect- ed by the lightning, affords only a presump- tion on this point. since it does not follow that these metallic articles have actually at- tracted the lightning-stroke. Instances in which a metallic object has been struck, while the wearer has escaped,are more to the point, though some will be apt to recognize here a protecting agency rather than the re- verse. It is related by Kundmann that a stroke of lightning once struck and fused a brass bodkin worn by a young girl to fasten her hair, and that she was not even burned. A lady (Arago tells us) had a bracelet fused from her wrist without suflering any injury. And we frequently see in the newspapers accounts of similar escapes. If it is conceded that in these instances the metal has attract- ed the lightning, it will, of course, be abund- antly Clear that it is preferable to remove from the person all metallic objects, such as watches, chains, bracelets and rings, when a thunder-storm is in progressâ€"Chamber’s Journal. â€"Jeremiuh Fitzgerald drowneu at Paisley on Thursday. â€"A Mormon missionary in Germany, who had converted quite a number of Germans, and was preparing to send them over to Utah, was arrested by the authorities, and sentenced to receive fifty lashes and be imprisoned for six months. â€"A case occurred the other day‘in Chica- go showing how hardly the rule of ‘law re- specting the competency of witnesses some- times works.
