ANAHEIM VOL. 7. Achilles over the Trench. 1220 XVIII. 202 So saying, light-foot Iris pass'd away. Then rose Achilles dear to Zeus; and round The warrior's pulsant shoulders Pallas flung Her fringed sails, and around his head The glorious goddess wreath'd a golden cloud, And from it lighted an all-shining flame. As when a smoke from a city goes to heaven Far off from out an island girl with foes, All day the men contend in grievous war From their own city, and with set of sun Their fires flame thickly, and aloft the glare Flies streaming, if perchance the neighbors round May see, and sail to help them in the war; So from his head the splendor went to heaven. From wall to dyke he stept, he stood, nor join'd The Achaeans—honoring his wise mother's word— There standing, shouted; Pallas far away Call'd; and a boundless panic shook the foe. For like the clear voice when a trumpet shrills, Blown by the fierce beleaguerers of a town, So rang the clear voice of Akides; And when the brazen cry of Akides Was heard among the Trojans, all their hearts Were troubled, and the full-maned horses whirl'd The chariots backward, knowing griefs at hand; And sheer astounded were the charioteers To see the dread, unwearable fire That over the great Peleion's head Burnt, for the bright-eyed goddess made it burn. or of its civilization. Near the upper end of the canyon are its "big falls," a triple cascade of seventy-five or eighty feet, of no special note in this country fall of similar and greater wonders, but nearer home well worth fame and a visit. Out of the canyon, and through "Jone's Park," a clearing of several acres, where, at an elevation of 10,000 feet, a cattle ranche and summer resort are projected, the trail is easy and comparatively level. The four miles after passing the canyon might be readily traversed by a good wagon-road, easy of construction and cheaply kept in repair. The Lake House, five miles and four thousand feet below the summit, was reached just at sunset, and here we all found comfortable quarters for the night. Moraino Lake, on the bank of which this lofty hotel of logs is located, is about eleven acres in extent, clear and pure, fed by springs, and so far as is known, without surface outlet or inlet. Here we found Sergeant Hobbs, of the Signal Service, and the station at the summit, and as the events of the next day proved, it was very fortunate for us that we did find him. We allowed four hours to complete the ascent, and under the effect of this calculation the vote for a start the next morning in time to see the sun rise was small. One impatient lawyer, however, breakfasted and was in the saddle at 4:30 A.M., and the rest of us followed at 5. The morning was chilly, and from our starting-point, we could see that the top of the Peak was wrapped in fog. After leaving the Lake House our ascent was rapid, and progress though steady, slow and laborious. The trail was at times obstructed by the fallen timber, which in places nearly covered the ground, and hence found their way upward once a week results Washington. The point is rather experimental practical, and its work which can only be observed inhabited point of view the observer and his wife of the present season is never as intense as ton, or in many lower north; 28 degrees below the lowest last winter May are usually throught nearly all the mountain fell on the house in which these upper air live is of stale feet thick, and corp Wood is used for fuel supplies for six months be packed to the sun ing the early fall and the air is the purest, Sergeant says that he his place of residence opinion which will perfect on the real estate cynity.

A clear day and a sharp eye are necessary to discern Pike's Peak from "First View," the Kansas Pacific station, 168 miles east of Denver, and considerably more than 100 in an air-line from the mountain, at which the Westward traveler is told he may get his first glimpse of this lofty summit of "the Continental divide." We saw it, however, 100 miles away from Denver—a dimly defined triangle of white against the clear sky; and from the city itself it looms up, grand and distinct, by far the most conspicuous object in the Southern horizon. For three days we had gazed upon the Peak from afar off, and when the order came yesterday to leave for Manitou, the ascent of Pike's Peak seemed to be the fixed purpose and highest ambition of the greater number of our entire party of thirty.

The obstructions thrown in the way of the youth "who, through the Alpine village passed," were not more numerous and insuperable than those which the local guides and gossips cast in the way of our proposed ascent of the mountain. The distance was twenty-five miles; the snow was six feet deep; the trail had not been shovelled out; one party tried it last week and failed; the half-way house was not opened, and no food or comfort could be had during the night, which we should be compelled to spend on the mountain, and much more of the same sort, all contradictory and much untrue.

"Do you think they I do," said she clutching considerable The mountain party numbered six and the boy. Four of these were newspaper men, and the other two Boston lawyers. The ascent was to be made on horseback as far as possible, and the remainder of the distance on foot. Our plan was to reach the half-way house, two-thirds of the distance and one-half the elevation to the summit, before dark, and complete the journey as early as possible the next morning. Our "mount" was rather indifferent, but at last we were all off, amid the cheers and jeers of the prudent majority of the party, who from the hotel piazza bade us good-bye. The first three miles of the route lay along the main highway to Colorado Springs—an excellent road, as they all are in this country—and at the deserted village, once the territorial capital, Colorado City, turned off sharply into the fields, and skirted along the range of foothills—"hogback" in the vernacular—to the gate of Bear Creek canyon. At the canyon we struck for the first time the trail proper, and leaving the wagon-road lost in the under-brush, followed the path, just wide enough for our horses in single file. The canyon is perhaps three miles long, and includes the steepest and most dangerous part of the entire ascent. Lofty walls of red and distorted granite rise on either side, and in many places the trail, scarcely visible, lies along the face of loose drift, on which a foothold is apparently impossible. Far below, sometimes entirely hidden from view, and dashing among enormous loose boulders, the creak plunges, roaring down its rapid descent. In some places the rocks above are apparently so nicely balanced that a breath of wind would overturn them, and in other places the overhanging precipice seems certain to give way beneath one's weight. The ponies are sure-footed, however, and the best way is to trust them. Indeed, it is the only way, and accidents are extremely rare. Going up the canyon, an occasional turn of the path discloses beautiful glimpses of the wide, rolling plains below, to the east and north, and Colorado Springs, with its surrounding country, spreads out clearly and distinctly. A thwart the canyon, fastened to trees and rocks, the single telegraph-wire flashes like a silver thread in the sunlight, and is the only visible sign of the outer world. The correct elevation of Pike's Peak, determined by a series of levels last year, is 14,150 feet—a little less than is usually given in guide books. Manitou is 6,000, so that the actual ascent of the mountain is about 8,000 feet. The signal station at the summit is occupied all the year round, and there is some prospect that the Coast Survey will this season establish a station upon the Peak. Sergeant Hobbs, who has had nearly two years' duty as observer here, is one of the most competent and intelligent men in the service, and has had some interesting and dangerous experiences. The telegraphic connection with the outside world is maintained, but daily reports are not forwarded. Regular observations are taken and recorded of all the meteorological conditions, and CIM GAS SUPPLEMENT. ANAHEIM, CAL., SEPTEMBER 29, 1877. once a week results are transmitted to Washington. The purpose of the station is rather experimental than immediately practical, and its work is to gather data which can only be obtained at this highest inhabited point of the globe. Though the observer and his assistant still speak of the present season as winter, cold here is never as intense as on Mount Washington, or in many lower localities further north; 28 degrees below zero having been the lowest last winter. March, April and May are usually the severest months, though nearly all the snow now on the mountain fell on the 7th of June. The house in which these two hermits of the upper air live is of stone, with walls two feet thick, and contains three rooms. Wood is used for fuel, and, with all the supplies for six months of winter, must be packed to the summit on mules during the early fall and winter. Though the air is the purest, and usually dry, the Sergeant says that he does not consider his place of residence "healthy"—an opinion which will probably have no effect on the real estate market in this vicinity. The average elevation of the barometer here is only 17 7-10 inches, and in the light and rare atmosphere the pulse is accelerated, the amount of sleep is diminished, and the human machine wears out faster. The average rate of the pulse in healthy visitors at the summit is from 115 to 126 per minute. For the benefit of those who may have the inclination and opportunity to ascend Pike's Peak, permit one or two suggestions. Don't try it unless you have good lungs and good legs. If these, either or both, are weak, go up Gray's Peak or Mt. Lincoln, which may be ascended nearly to the top by wagon-road. If you are sound in wind and foot, a guide may Second-Hand Air. There are some things that are almost as good at second-hand as when bought new. Furniture, for instance, that has been carefully kept, is more prized by many people than that which is fresh from the shop. Diamonds do not lose their lustre or their value by being handed down through generations of fair women. Fine laces are treasured as the most precious of heir-looms. Even food served up the second time may be quite as savory and nutritious as when first brought on the table, and a nice garment made over new is not despised; but second-hand air—is it to be for a moment tolerated? What is second-hand air? It is air that has passed through one, two, or more pairs of lungs, to which it has largely given up its most precious element, and from which it has received a load of effete animal matter in the shape of carbonic acid gas, one of the most poisonous of gases. It has also received the exhalations of the body and has become to a greater or less extent loaded with excrementitious matter, and more fitted to fertilize barren land than to sustain life. During the summer, when our windows and doors are wide open, it is easy in a healthful neighborhood to obtain continual supplies of fresh air; but so soon as November skies are above us, we begin to close doors and windows, and tighten their joints with weather-strips to exclude the least entrance of the outer air. Then we set up caft-iron stoves and keep our room at a high temperature, as though a sufficient degree of heat was the chief thing to be secured. Very soon the debilitating effect of this regime is felt in the diminished circulation of the Cerro Gordo. Previous to the brilliant American victory of Cerro Gordo, the engineers both of the attacking and defending armies had carefully surveyed the highest of the eminences that bristle about the place, and had reported it inaccessible. It overlooked the whole Mexican army, but the Mexicans were confident it could not be occupied, and the same belief prevailed in the American camp. The night before the assault was a very dark one. Gen. Shields was in his tent, when toward midnight a number of soldiers of his command came to him and asked permission to put a 6-pounder gun on the top of this cliff. I was astonished. 'Don't you know,' I asked, 'that the engineers say that it can't be climbed? to say nothing about placing cannon up there.' They insisted, however, they should like to try it. 'Try it, then, boys,' I said. 'No harm will be done, even if you fail.' They then went away, and in two hours they were back again with the amazing news that they actually had a 6-pounder in position on the summit of that almost perpendicular height. 'And if you'll consent, sir,' said one of them, 'we'll put a 12-pounder there, too.' 'Go ahead,' I replied, 'I'll believe you can do anything now.' And long before daylight they reported that the 12-pounder was up there beside the 6-pounder, ready to open on the Mexicans in the morning. I thought the news too good to be kept, so I went to Gen. Twiggs' tent and roused him up. He heard my story, and looked at me as though he did not believe a word of it."

June is the month of love, joy, and August that of its agony. In June two hearts knit together and become one. In August two bodies separate. She goes away to see her mother's aunt in the country, and he stays at home, working the treadmill of duty. This comes hard on all men, but its weight is the heaviest on the grocery clerk. His heart is not in his work. How can it be? Where the treasure is there will the heart be also, and the treasure is far away. He cannot smile on the customer. He cannot counterfeit successfully that expression of all-absorbing interest which makes a clerkship a thing of beauty. Certainly his is a most critical task. The variety and diversity of the articles in which he deals requires that he should keep his wits about him. In this particular he is in almost as much danger as the drug clerk, while the opportunities for shipping are a hundred fold. A Danbury man who went to a drug-store to have a prescription prepared, seeing nobody but a clerk present, said: "Young man, are you keeping company with a girl!" "Yes, sir," answered the clerk with a blush. "Do you think the world of her?" "I do," said the clerk firmly, although blushing considerably.

Then we set up cast-iron stoves and keep our room at a high temperature, as though a sufficient degree of heat was the chief thing to be secured. Very soon the debilitating effect of this regime is felt in the diminished circulation of the blood in the hands and feet and its concentration in the head. Great susceptibility to taking cold is the next step and toward mid-winter and spring the system is just ready for typhoid pneumonia, which carries off its victims by the scores and hundreds. If our dwelling houses are badly ventilated, our schools and churches are immeasurably worse. Into a room that can comfortably seat forty scholars, twice that number, and more, are often crowded. Many of these are imperfectly fed, clothed, and cleansed by daily or weekly ablutions, and the added impurity of air caused by this state of things is greatly multiplied. The teacher accustomed to this atmosphere does not perceive how unwhole some it is, and the only remedy is in the hands of the parents who, as they care for their children's welfare, should visit the school and see to it that this evil is corrected. Rarely does one see a church in winter with open windows during either Monday or Saturday. On both these days, unless a storm is raging, the air should have free access to the interior on Monday to remove the unwholesome exhalations it has received, so that they be not absorbed by the cushions and the plastering, on Saturday that the still dead air be reoxygenated and made fit for the soul to mount up to heaven on. How can one mount to the upper air, much less to heaven, on carbonic acid gas? Most of the teaching and preaching of Jesus Christ was in the open air, by the sea-side, on the mountain top. Even He, except by the performance of a miracle, could not have held his hearers as he did had they been shut within the close walls of a synagogue.

In this particular he is in almost as much danger as the drug clerk, while the opportunities for shipping are a hundred fold. A Danbury man who went to a drug-store to have a prescription prepared, seeing nobody but a clerk present, said: "Young man, are you keeping company with a girl?" "Yes, sir," answered the clerk with a blush. "Do you think the world of her?" "I do," said the clerk firmly, although blushing considerably. "Is she in town?" pursued the customer anxiously. "No, sir; she is away on a visit." "That will do," said the man decisively. "You can't fool around any prescription for me." And he went away. But it is the grocery clerk who has to struggle from early morn till late at night with a flood of annoyances. When he dips into the sugar barrel he thinks of her lips and sighs. In cutting the cheese he is reminded of the strength of his devotion to her, and when he looks into the butter firkin his thoughts stray to her hair. When he would go away by himself and give expression to his emotions he is obliged to help lift a barrel of corned beef, or roll a cask of salt or open a cask of lard. It is only when he is among the mackerel that he feels as if he had a companion in his sorrow, a sympathizer in grief. There is that softened, subdued light in the eye of a salt mackerel which touches a responsive chord in the heart of suffering and awakens it to plaintive melody. How tenderly he lifts it from the kit; how lovingly he lingers in wrapping it up. Poor fellow! He may put up washing starch for baking powder, draw molasses in the kerosene can, and even attempt to palm off various things for tea. He may do this. It is more than likely that he will. But the expression of a mackerel's eye will not change. The soft, subdued light of sympathy still remains.—Danbury News. The Boston Young Men's Christian Union are giving carriage drives into the country to invalids mostly women and children. Last year 357 persons, selected from the hospitals and charitable institutions were taken out in this way. Why are heavy showers like heavy drinkers? Because they usually begin with little drops. FRICASSEED BEEF.—Take any piece of beef from the fore-quarter, such as is generally used for corning, and cook it tender in just water sufficient to have it all evaporate in cooking.. When about half done put in salt enough to season it well, and half a teaspoonful of pepper. If the water should not be done out soon enough, turn it off and let the beef fry fifteen minutes, turning it often. It is very good and preferred by some to the best roast beef. Make the gravy of the water turned off, or add water from the tea-kettle and one or two tablespoonfuls of flour. Serve with vegetables and salad, or apple-sauce. STEWED RABBIT.—Wash and soak the rabbit thoroughly; then wipe it quite dry, cut it into joints, roll in flour, and brown it slightly in four or five ounces of butter, with some bits of lean ham; then pour on by degrees one and a half pints of gravy, and stew the meat very gently an hour and a half or two hours; add salt if needed. When it has stewed a half hour or more, put in half the rind of a lemon, cut thin, and ten minutes before serving stir in a large dessert-spoonful of rice flour, mixed smooth with two tablespoonfuls of mushroom catsup, quarter of a teaspoonful of sauce, and less of cayenne. HOLIDAY CAKE.—Place one pound of fresh batter in a pan; keep it near the flour till melted; stir into it one pound of powdered loaf-sugar, a good tablespoonful each of beaten allspice and cinnamon; by degrees put in the yelks of ten eggs and their whites separately, whisked to a froth; add one pound of candied citron-peel, sliced thin, two pounds of currants, cleaned and dried, two ounces of blanched sweet almonds, a pound and a half of flour, and four ounces of brandy; mix all well together, add lastly the grated corn; if not thick enough, a little more flour may be added; fry in hot butter, or bake in a pudding dish. You may make half this quantity. GREEN CORN FRITTERS.—Grate a sufficient number of ripe ears of corn to make a quart; rub together quarter of a pound of butter, quarter of a pound of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of flour, a pinch of salt; stir into this one quart of rich milk, eight eggs well beaten, add lastly the grated corn; if not thick enough, a little more flour may be added; fry in hot butter, or bake in a pudding dish. You may make half this quantity. ORANGE ICE.—Six oranges, the grated rind of three, juice of two lemons, one pint of sugar, dissolved in a pint of cold water; mix and freeze the same as icecream. There is plenty of money here for the small capitalist. One of the wells, which cost only $13 to sink, inside a day and a half, has pumped twenty barrels a day since last Saturday.—Titusville Herald. STOLEN GOODS AT PITTSBURGH.—Detectives at Pittsburgh are actively engaged in recovering the goods stolen from the lootee cars and depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The property forms a singular collection, embracing boots and shoes, an immense wood-carving, cushions, mattresses, spitoons, framed time-cards, an encyclopaedia, forty barrels of flour—each minus a baking or two—a tierce and twelve barrels of lard, 300 hams, kegs and barrels of whisky and highwines, glassware, hardware, shovels and picks, bales of wood, a complete Jersey wagon, leather, rope, bundles and barrels of leaf-tobacco, block-tin, beeswax, oatmeal, boxes of foot-rules, lamp-chimneys, coffee-mills, gas-stoves, palace-car furniture, sewing machines, carpets, oil-cloths, muslin, ready-made clothing, yarn, harnesses, whips, flags and the like. Seven Saratoga trunks full of clothing were found in one house and eleven barrels of flour in another. Eye-witnesses of the riot tell of auctions where circular saws three feet in diameter sold for 50 cents, and a carload of sewing machines brought from $1 down to 10 cents apiece. In the Black Hills country the ground squirrels are so numerous as to be a pest to the miners. They live under every log, stone and bush pile; they will invade a miner's sanctum by day and by night; they will come in tens and fifties and hundreds and bring their families with them; they cut open the flour sacks and spill all the flour; they will steal your sugar, pack off your coffee, nibble your bread into crumbs, defile your beefsteak, tear your letters, hide your own pair of socks, take all the starch out of your Sunday shirt,and make themselves generally disagreeable. The miners first adopted the plan of shooting their heads off,and found for every chipmunk that was killed one day,the would be ten hungry relatives applying for his situation before dawn next morning. An old citizen in a country village.on having a subscription list handed him toward purchasing a new hearse for the place,h thus excused himself: "I paid five dollars for a new hearse forty years ago,and me and my folks hain't had the benefit of it yet." GAZETTE. NO. 50. A Courting Couple and a Live Ghost Badly Scared. It is said that Jordan, the New York Greenwood drummer, recently met with the following rather amusing experience in his extensive travels. On going to a hotel in one of our large cities he was assigned to a room previously partly occupied. After being shown the way by the polite and accommodating clerk, he went to his apartment, found the door open, a candle dimly burning on the center-table, and the only bed in the room occupied by the stranger who was to be his room-mate for the night. The unknown man seemed to be taking his rest, and not wishing to disturb him. Jordan quietly disrobed himself, said his prayers, blew out the candle, and went to bed. Before he had quite fallen to sleep he was somewhat startled by the entrance of a young gentleman and lady, who relighted the candle and soberly seated themselves in a corner of the room in full view of the hero of this incident. The intruders chatted away in a suggestive and affectionate manner, just as lovers always do. The novelty of the situation seemed to have its effect upon them, and after sundry comments upon the weather, the latest gossip and small society talk, the pair settled down to "business." All this time Jordan was an interested listener, and he was prepared for the kisses which fell upon the willing lips of the fair inamorata. He hunched his bed-fellow with his elbow, but the stranger slept on. Then followed a scene of affectionate demonstration between the couple in the corner. Jordan determined to wake his unknown friend so that he might see the fun. Raising his hand, he laid it upon the face of the unconscious sleeper, and then his hair in holy horror, stood on end. The face was cold and Educational Notes. The highest salaries paid county superintendents in Pennsylvania is $8,000, the lowest about $700; the average being $1,250. The per capita cost of the A class in the public schools of Cleveland, O., was last year $31.79; in the High schools $48.91; and in the Normal school about $80. The Wesleyan University and the Wesleyan Female College at Delaware, Ohio, have been united, and the University thus offers practically co-education. The property of the consolidated institution is estimated at $252,000. FISK UNIVERSITY for colored people in Nashville has projected a training school for African Missionaries, and requires funds to complete it. It is thought that its students may be prepared to do excellent work among the untaught members of their race. In Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta, Macon and Columbus there are good schools open to white and black alike. In the country districts of the State the schools are generally inadequately supported and poorly attended. But there are indications of a change for the better. It is suggested in Great Britain that Governments might make payments for practical instructions in cookery in the same manner as for the teaching of elementary sciences; and Sir John Lubbock has asked in Parliament, "Why should not boys learn about cleanliness and ventilation, the management of income, expenditure and saving?" In the Grand Duchy of Baden a new State law ordains the establishment of Middle Schools for Girls, with a seven I'll believe you and long before that the 12-pounder, Mexicans in the news too good to Gen.

Jordan determined to wake his unknown friend so that he might see the fun. Raising his hand, he laid it upon the face of the unconscious sleeper, and then his hair in holy horror, stood on end. The face was cold and clammy—he was sleeping with a corpse! Shooting up straight through his canopied couch Jordan appeared before the startled pair a veritable ghost. The young man and lady disappeared down the stairway in wild affright, closely followed by the unwitting author of this startling escapade. The clerk of the hotel had perpetrated a practical joke on the "commercial traveler." The scene in the office is said to have been very ludicrous when the three parties appeared before the bar. Jordan en dishabile! Can you imagine anything more spirituelle? Two hundred and fifty pounds avoirdupois make up a tolerable vigorous ghost.—Abbeville (Ga.) Medium. How the British Soldier Suffers on Parade. Perhaps, all things considered, it is as well the British soldier was not sent to Constantinople the other day. The march from Aldershott to Windsor and the hardships he underwent while being received by the Queen were too much for him. Too much if it be true, as stated, that the casualities of the day amounted to near one thousand out of the fourteen thousand men engaged. The corps might have gone through a tolerably brisk action without losing a greater percentage. Heat and fatigue were the cause of the gaps in the ranks, and there are the usual explanation that the men were overmarched and kept needlessly long under arms. Probably that is true, but there is no reason to suppose it would be less true if the troops had been in actual service. It is affirmed also that the Queen had been expected to go to Aldershott and review the troops there. Disliking to expose herself to the heat and dust, she ordered her little arny to Windsor. It may appear to the impartial outsider that the heat and dust were not likely to be less for 14,000 men marching from Aldershott to Windsor, than for one elderly lady driving from Windsor to Aldershott in a carriage. But there can be no doubt that the army ought to have been able to do what was asked of it; and if it were not, the sooner the fact was ascertained the better. It will not do for staff officers to complain of "short notice." It might happen that the Russians would some day be so forgetful of good manners as to give them no notice at all.—London Cor. of the New York Tribune. A TAME GORILLA.-A young gorilla now in the Berlin Aquarium is attracting a great deal of notice. He is very human. He nods and claps his hands to visitors; wakes up like a man and stroches himself. His keeper must al- It is suggested in Great Britain that Governments might make payments for practical instructions in cookery in the same manner as for the teaching of elementary sciences; and Sir John Lubbock has asked in Parliament, "Why should not boys learn about cleanliness and ventilation, the management of income, expenditure and saving?" In the Grand Duchy of Baden a new State law ordains the establishment of Middle Schools for Girls, with a seven years' course of tuition. The very best teachers will be employed. These new Higher Schools for Girls are to receive subvention from the Stats Exchequer, like the corresponding institutions for boys. Seminaries for the training of lady professors are to be founded in connection with these new educational establishments. The laboratories for women which were established six months ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology appear to be successful. Some of the pupils are fitting themselves to teach; two have made special study of some subject, for the purpose of assisting their husbands in business; others take the course as a part of their education, without definite plans for applying their knowledge, and others still take some subject that will enable them to understand and make collections at home, and to give their children an intelligent interest in some form of science. At the St. Louis Public School Board meeting last June, it was agreed to put colored teachers in charge of the colored schools of this city, if a sufficient number could be found able to pass the necessary examination. Within a week about twenty colored men and women arrived, from different parts of the country; seven of these passed a satisfactory examination and will receive commissions. The colored people there are highly delighted at the success of the trial so far. A large number of teachers is necessary, and further examinations will be made. The average teaching in the higher schools does not please the editor of The National Teachers' Monthly. He says: "If to sit behind a table, and ask convenient questions year after year in almost the same way, is teaching, we confess our ignorance of its science and art. The writer of this article happens to be a graduate of a New England college, and will say, if any one wishes to find hearing of recitations, delivery of stereotype lectures, assigning set lessons and a rigid marking system, put in place of genuine teaching; let him go to our best old-fashioned colleges. How many under-graduates ever perform half a dozen chemical experiments? How many are taught to become independent investigators and thinkers in either the physical or mental sciences! Our college courses of study are rigidly inflexible. This requiring all people to pursue exactly the same course is scarcely bearable in a graded school, but is unbearable in the highest schools." Electric Candle. Jablochkeff's electric candle, described last week as a success in Paris, has also A TAME GORILLA.—A young gorilla now in the Berlin Aquarium is attracting a great deal of notice. He is very human. He nods and claps his hands to visitors; wakes up like a man and stretches himself. His keeper must always be beside him and eat with him. He eats what his keeper eats; they share dinner and supper. The keeper must remain by him till he goes to sleep, his sleep lasting eight hours. His easy life has increased his weight in a few months from thirty-one to thirty-seven pounds. During an attack of inflammation of the lungs, his physician treated him with quinine and Ems water, which made him better. When the doctor left the gorilla the latter showed him his tongue, clapped his hands, and squeezed the hand of the doctor as an indication, the latter believed, of his recovery. Apparently he means to support, by every means in his power, the effect at a hot-house development of the apo to the man. A large glass house has been built for him in connection with the palm house. DULL BOYS.—Don’t be discouraged. Slow growth is often sure growth. Some minds are like Norwegian pines. They are slow in growth, but they are striking their roots deep. Some of the greatest men have been dull boys. Dryden and Swift were dull as boys. So was Goldsmith and Gibbon and Sir Walter Scott. Napoleon at school had so much difficulty in learning his Latin that the master said it would need a gimlet to get a word into his head. Douglas Jerrold was so backward in his boyhood that at nine he was scarcely able to read. Isaac Barrow, one of the greatest divines the Church of England has ever produced, was so impenetrably stupid in his early years that his father more than once said that if God took away any of his children, he hoped it would be Isaac, as he feared he would never be fit for anything in this world. Yet that boy was the genius of the family. A DOCTOR was asked to dance the Lancashire. He declined, but expressed a willingness to lance the dancers. Electric Candle. Jablochkeff’s electric candle, described last week as a success in Paris, has also been equally successful and in a simpler form in London. A yard, 150 feet by 75, surrounded by buildings on three sides, and covered with an awning, was perfectly well lighted with four candles, pearl type being legible in any part of this area. Its applicability for lighting wharves, warehouses, ships’ decks, etc., as well as its portability within a limited space, was also demonstrated. The light is white and soft, but brilliant, resembling the limelight or the bright moonlight of southern Europe. The power was produced by a magneto-electric machine, with 32 horseshoe magnets of seven plates each, and worked by an engine of eighth-horse power. The amount of heat given off was comparatively small. He has succeeded in doing away with the carbons; his latest form consists of a plate of his kaolin composition, 1½ inches long by 1 inch wide, and 1-20 of an inch thick; the sides of the plate are inserted in grooves cut in the wires, forming the electrodes of the battery, which project very alightly above the top of the plate. To light this form a bridge of black lead is carried along the top of the porcelain plate; the graphite becoming incandescent causes the porcelain to melt, which then becomes a conductor; the porcelain vaporizes at the rate of a millimeter (about 1-25 of an inch) an hour. The light given out by the porcelain alone is softer and more steady than that given by the carbon and porcelain. The experiments were entirely successful, and will inaugurate a new era in the practical use of electrical illumination. Boston Herald. Ur in Rutland, Vt., a man has just had a piece of window glass, more than two inches long, taken from his leg, where it had been for eighteen years. It may be truly said that during that entire period he has never been absolutely free from pane.
