What Injuries a Man may Receive and Live. Recently the people resident in Astoria were startled by the report (two reports, in fact), that one William Scheever, a German shoemaker of that vicinity, had shot himself once in the mouth and once in the ear with a "bulldog" revolver, and was dead. Inquiry showed that he was not yet dead, but the physician hastily summoned said he must speedily die, as he had two bullets in his brain. He was brought to New York and placed for treatment in the Roosevelt Hospital, and after a few hours was sufficiently composed to arrange for his coming death by signing over all his property to his daughter. He then went to sleep, and on the next day asked for some Frankfurter sausage and lager, saying that he was hungry. The next day he said he was sorry and walked away from the hospital, apparently in pretty good condition. One bullet was found to have glanced off outside his head, but there is considerable doubt as to where the other one is. "It may be in his brain, it may be lodged in one of the nasal bones, or he may have swallowed it" said the physician who attended him in the hospital. Time, it thus appears, may or may not show whether William Scheever's name is to be added to the long list of persons who have recovered from what are ordinarily mortal wounds. Whatever the truth may be in this case, the circumstances are sufficiently striking to SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. The soy bean (soja kikudda) approaches more nearly to animal food in its proximate composition than any other known vegetable production, being singularly rich in fat and in albuminoids. This bean forms an important article of food in Japan and China, where a dozen or more varieties are known. Of late numerous attempts have been made to acclimatize it in several European countries, some of the experiments having been reported quite successful. The great red spot on the planet Jupiter is reported by some observers to be growing fainter, with the prospect of an early disappearance. Others can detect no change. This remarkable object, nearly 30,000 miles in length and more than 8,000 in breadth, which has for more than three years maintained its size and shape without material change while moving across Jupiter's surface, is still a source of much perplexity to astronomers. Philosophers have told us that all energy upon the earth must have been brought into existence by solar influence. Prof. Milne has, however, called the attention of the Sciamological Society of Japan to the fact that one vast reservoir of energy quite independent of the sun, has been overlooked—viz., the earth's internal heat. It is not impossible that the surfaces outcropings of this inexhaustible supply of force—found in volcanoes, hot springs and the like—may in the near future be used to generate electricity for transmission to neighboring cities, PAT. HOLLAND'S MISFORTUNE. A Reputation for Fine Work Spoiled by an Accident. Years ago, in the early days of the Comstock excitement, Pat. Holland, now Postmaster and Coroner in a little town in Cachise county, Arizona, was the most respected man in the State. He had the reputation of being a dead shot with a pistol. Of course this accomplishment made him feared by everybody, and there was no man in Virginia so bold as to cross him in public. Pat. acquired his reputation by shooting on the stage, and could knock an apple off his son's head with an accuracy and carelessness which combined to impress the public far more than the manner in which the painstaking William Tell performed the feat with an arrow. Finally Pat. secured a young lady who would allow an apple to be shot off her flaxen roll, and when Pat. executed the feat he would throw his keen eye at the girl and then poll his orbs up into the gallery, and without looking at his mark, send a bullet through the fruit. This was put down on the bills as "Pat. Holland's psychological feat of shooting from memory," and drew crowded houses. One night he advertised to shoot apples from twelve young ladies' heads in succession and only take one look at the crowd. Piper's Opera House was packed with men at a dollar a head, and when the curtain rose twelve immaculate ballet dancers were in line along the wings, each with an apple on her head. Pat stepped to the footlights and bowed pretty good condition. One bullet was found to have glanced off outside his head, but there is considerable doubt as to where the other one is. "It may be in his brain, it may be lodged in one of the nasal bones, or he may have swallowed it" said the physician who attended him in the hospital. Time, it thus appears, may not show whether William Scheever's name is to be added to the long list of persons who have recovered from what are ordinarily mortal wounds. Whatever the truth may be in this case, the circumstances are sufficiently striking to recall the other cases, many of which are truly marvelous. It is easy to tell that a man is dead, but it is very seldom that he will die, since there are cases of recovery that no same man would think of predicting. For example, no person would have supposed for a moment that the man in Massachusetts whose case has so often been quoted would have lived twelve years after having a taming-ron blown directly through his head, entering under his jaw and coming out through the roof of his skull; yet he did live for that time, and even enjoyed good health. And it would not occur to any ordinary man that he could live long with a hole in the side of his stomach, yet if St. Martin had not done that very same thing the physicians agree that comparatively little would be known to day of the marvelous processes that go on inside the laboratory of the body. On the other hand, one who is accustomed to seeing the enormous strains and shocks the human frame withstands, is often surprised at seeing how little a thing will "loose the silver cord." A man steps on a bit of orange peel, or his friend sportively pulls away his chair, with the idiotic idea that he is joking, and the victim sits down too far, fractures his spine, and is picked up dead. A strong man scratches his finger, and dies of lock-jaw. A large man, bending sideways in his chair, trying to button his shoes, loses his balance, rolls over on a carpeted floor and breaks his arm. Gangrene sets in and he dies. Subcases are on record, and go to show how slight the real hold on life is. Yet slight as is the tenure by which men stay in this world, there are innumerable cases on record far more marvelous than that of William Scheever, even supposing that he has a bullet or even two in his brain. The inevitable death that was formerly supposed to attend upon any serious accident to the main organs of the body does not always come. Men live not only with bullets in their brain, holes in their stomach, dislocated spines, and actual wounds in the heart itself, but even with open wounds clear through the body itself. General Henry A. Barnum, of Brooklyn, wrote while President Garfield lay dying a letter to the press in which he told of his own wound which he received in battle during the civil war. It remained at open aperture through his body and has never healed, and for years his treatment of it has been simply to wear in the hole a roll of prepared lint. This is renewed daily, and the suppuration philosophers have told us that all energy upon the earth must have been brought into existence by solar influence. Prof. Milne has, however, called the attention of the Seismological Society of Japan to the fact that one vast reservoir of energy quite independent of the sun, has been overlooked viz., the earth's internal heat. It is not impossible that the surfaces outerruppings of this inexhaustible supply of force found in volcanoes, hot springs and the like may in the near future be used to generate electricity for transmission to neighboring cities, where it may be put to practical service. A new substance, estimated to possess from twenty to thirty times the sweetness of cane sugar, has been described to a German society by Dr. Constantine Fahlberg. To chemists the new body will be known as "anhydro-sulphamin-benzoic acid." Microscopic vision has separated ruled lines as fine as 113,600 to the inch, but, according to Prof. Rogers, the evidence that finer lines than that have been resolved under the microscope is not conclusive. Mons. Toussaint has shown experimentally the serious danger of eating meat nearly raw as is now generally done. If the meat is unsound, the germs of disease must pass into the system unless they are destroyed by heat before the meat is eaten. The most frequent and dangerous malady with which animals slaughtered for food are affected is consumption, and even if the animal is only slightly diseased persons eating the uncooked meat are liable to infection. The raw juice pressed from a slightly affected cow's lung was used to inoculate healthy rabbits and young pigs, and all the subjects died in a short time from the disease. The experiment was repeated with a portion of the juice which had been partially cooked, and the result was the same. Thorough cooking of meat to be used for food is recommended as a precaution unsafe to neglect, as only this ensures the entire destruction of the disease germs. Herr Gruber has been studying the sense of hearing in insects, and finds that cockroaches, beetles and certain aquatic insects are very sensitive to sounds, while grubs, ants and various water larvae appear to be unaffected by them. Recent evidence seems to indicate that vegetable matter may, under certain conditions, be converted into coal much more rapidly than many geologists have believed to be possible. At least an approach to such conversion has been discovered in the mines of the Upper Hartz, in Germany, where some of the timbers originally used as supports have been changed into a substance which appears to be a genuine lignite, or brown coal. It is believed that the process cannot have extended beyond four centuries—a very brief period compared with that usually assigned to coal formations. A committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science has ascertained that the maximum pressure of the girl and then poll his orbs up into the gallery, and without looking at his mark, send a bullet through the fruit. This was put down on the bills as "Pat. Holland's psychological feat of shooting from memory," and drew crowded houses. One night he advertised to shoot apples from twelve young ladies' heads in succession and only take one look at the crowd. Piper's Opera House was packed with men at a dollar a head, and when the curtain rose twelve imaculate ballet dancers were in line along the wings, each with an apple on her head. Pat stepped to the footlights and bowed amid tremendous applause. He had a six-shooter in each hand, and the stage manager announced that he would shoot the last six apples with his left hand. Casting his eye along the line, he took a long breath, a steady position, and then faced the audience. Lifting his revolver he began to shoot in rapid succession, and the apples began to fly out of sight amid the breathless silence of the audience. The curious part of the performance, however, lay in the fact that by the time Pat had fired six shots all the apples had disappeared, and he kept right on banking away with his second weapon from his left hand, amid roars of laughter and derision. To cap the climax, two apples got tangled together and remained dangling from the edge of a scene in plain sight of the audience. The trick was at once apparent. Each apple had a fine thread attached, and at the shot was jerked quickly out of sight. The supes behind the scenes who pulled the strings got confused at Pat.'s rapid firing, and half the apples disappeared before time. Two were snatched off simultaneously, and the strings overlapping in the air brought the apples together, where they hung to the edge of the scene; the strings being on each side. This ended Holland's career as a public soloist on the pistol; and the public gradually came to look upon him as an ordinary mortal. Soon after this he got into a street row in Pocha and fired twelve shots in a densely populated portion of the city without killing a man. But for attempting to do too much at once he might have gone to Congress from this State years ago. The Skye Crofters. The Skye crofters have for some months past been holding a place in the eyes of the world quite out of proportion to their numbers and importance. They are but a few thousands, and occupy a bare, bleak rain island on the western coast of Scotland which is barely twenty miles in length but one third as many in width. The soil of this island is heavy and poor, and its products limited. When potatoes, which are staple crop, fail, the poorer inhabitant was reduced to the verge of starvation. The crofters occupy turf huts like those of Irish peasantry, and in some cases, instates of money, pay their rent in service to their landlord. There is little wood except to bushes, the chief fuel being peat from th Men live not only with bullets in their brain, holes in their stomach, dislocated spines, and actual wounds in the heart itself, but even with open wounds clear through the body itself. General Henry A. Barnum, of Brooklyn, wrote while President Garfield lay dying a letter to the press in which he told of his own wound which he received in battle during the civil war. It remained at open aperture through his body and has never healed, and for years his treatment of it has been simply to wear in the hole a roll of prepared lint. This is renewed daily, and the suppuration of the wound is constant, sometimes greater and sometimes less, but never entirely ceasing. General Shields, of Missouri, has a similar wound extending through his body and open in front and behind. His wound, it is said, was received in the Mexican war, and he wears, not lint, but a silk handkerchief in it. This he can draw directly through his body. Some three or four years ago a boy in Paterson, N.J., picking up shavings in a carpenter's shop, fell backward against a brazz-saw that was revolving with immense rapidity. Recovering his equilibrium he walked unaided to a drug store near by and asked to have his wound dressed. He complained of having a terrible headache, and this was not doubted when it was found on examination that the saw had divided his head almost in two. One end of the cut was half-way between the forehead and the crown of the head, and the other end was just at the base of the skull. A right line from one end to the other would have passed almost through the middle of the head, but the saw was a small one, and its outside edge had beyond a question cut far beyond such a right line. Yet the boy lived several days, and retained his consciousness to the time of his death. It was supposed that the saw had passed between the two lobes of the brain, but the point was never settled positively, as the boy's father refused to allow a post-mortem examination. The squabble between Joe Howard and the Court because Joe is bald-headed and his scalp gets cold if he doesn't wear a skull-cap, raised the trial of the Malleys almost to the level of the Guiteau circus.—Boston Post. A correspondent of the Burlington (Vermont) Free Press, writing from Anaheim, says among other things: "Trees grow very rapidly, and a place five years old has the appearance of an old set-tled country, with large shade trees, an abundance of fruits, and all the home comforts. With two or three cows, a few pigs and chickens, a vegetable garden and economy, a man may support a family of six persons. Ten acres of good land with water will enable him to do this, and live with comparative ease. On the 25th of last June I stood under the trees in a fruit orchard and picked ripe peaches, apricots, figs, apples and pears; we can have strawberries for the table nine months of the year; peaches are not gone before we have apples, pears and grapes, and these are succeeded by the citric fruits, such as oranges, lemons, etc. There was an exceedingly fine exhibit of the so-called Northern fruits at the Los Angeles horticultural fair; as fine apples and as great a variety as can be grown anywhere, along with fruits supposed to be especially adapted to the climate. A succession of fresh vegetables can be supplied from your own garden, the entire year, or if you do not choose to take the trouble to raise them, the Chinese vegetable peddler, for half a dozen eggs, will give you peas enough for dinner, with a head of lettuce, a bunch of radishes and a few turnips thrown in." A horned trip through Anaheim Sunday showed us that sterling old colony, the original and archetype of the many which have since added to the wealth of Southern California, is still, as of old, self-sustaining and prosperous. There are few spots on the American continent in which such homelike comfort and independence may be noted as in Anaheim. The vineyards all look well and the bank accounts of the Anaheimers will this year be heavily recruited.—Herald. At least an approach to such conversion has been discovered in the mines of the Upper Hartz, in Germany, where some of the timbers originally used as supports have been changed into a substance which appears to be a genuine lignite, or brown coal. It is believed that the process cannot have extended beyond four centuries—a very brief period compared with that usually assigned to coal formations. A committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science has ascertained that the maximum pressure of the wind on small plane surfaces exceeds ninety pounds to the square foot. The pressure over large areas is a matter of much uncertainty. A correspondenent of the Burlington (Vermont) Free Press, writing from Anaheim, says among other things: "Trees grow very rapidly, and a place five years old has the appearance of an old set-tled country, with large shade trees, an abundance of fruits, and all the home comforts. With two or three cows, a few pigs and chickens, a vegetable garden and economy, a man may support a family of six persons.

There have been seven small riots, and on one occasion the Glow police went over to enforce order aid in the collection of rent. A request for similar assistance recently was met with police refusal from the Glasgow authorities. There was some talk of sending a military force there for the purpose of restoring order but this was made unnecessary by the government, a few weeks ago, to the landlord's all arrears of rent. This practically ended the disturbance. No serious trouble could have come from the Skye riots, except that island proprietors and that caused sympathy felt for them in Scotland which might have led to similar acts of lessness. They could have been displeased ed of their "wee bit'of'land," and compelled to emigrate to America, which would abate the best thing that could happen them—if not to the present, at least to rising generation.—Bulletin.

A new and very simple method of training vicious horses was exhibited at West Philadelphia recently, and the manner in which some of the wildest horses were subjected was astonishing. The first trial was that of a kicking or "bucking" mare, which her owner said had allowed no rider on her back for a period of at least five years. She became tame in about as many minutes and allowed herself to be ridden about without a sign of her former wildness. The means by which the result was accomplished was by a piece of light rope which was passed around the front of the jaw of the mare just above the upper teeth, crossed in her mouth and thence secured back of her neck. It was claimed that no horse will kick or jump when thus secured, and that a horse, after receiving the treatment a few times, will abandon his vicious ways forever. A very simple method was also shown by which a kicking horse could be shod. It consisted in connecting the animal's head and tail by means of a rope fastened to the tail and then to the bit, and then drawn tightly enough to incline the animal's head to one side. This it is claimed makes it absolutely impossible for the horse to kick on the side of the rope. At the same exhibition a horse, which for many years had to be housed on the ground to be shod, suffered the blacksmith to operate on him without attempting to kick while secured in the manner described. been poll his orbs up into the without looking at his mark, through the fruit. This was bills as "Pat. Holland's shot apples from twelve aids in succession and only the crowd.

The writer, after quoting the income of several fruit growers to establish a fair average says: "Now let us return to our 40 acre lot. Reserve 2 acres for a house, garden, chicken yard and the necessary out buildings. Set out 20 acres in grapes and divide the remaining 18 acres equally between oranges and olives. 1. At the end of three years the grapes will bring $1000 if sold raw to the wine-makers, and at least $4000 if turned into raisins at a profit of $200 an acre, which is about 20 per cent. lower than in case (a) mentioned above, and 54 per cent. less than the profit in case (b). 2. At the end of 7 years the olives will be bearing largely and bringing in a profit of not less than $500 an acre, which in nine years the trees being then in full bearing will be at least $1000 an acre. 3. At the end of 10 years or at most 12 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16. Charles Pape, a saw flier working for Emanuel & Co., near the corner of Fourth and Bryant streets,and his wife recently lived at the Rapier House." A few days ago they quarrelled.His wife left him and had him arrested for taking away two of their three children.During his examination he indirectly threatened his wife. This forenoon Pape was found dead in the yard,near the shop of Emanuel & Co., with a bullet through his head and a revolver with two chambers discharged,near the body.Soon after his wife who was temporarily stopping with Mrs.Campbell on Cleveland street,a few blocks distantwas found lying on the floor,Livingbut with a ball through her head.She survived about an hour and a half,but never spoke.Mrs. Campbell had left Mrs.Pape alone in the house,and no one had been seen to enter it.The presumption is that Pape shot her and then committed suicide,but there is no evidence to that effect.

Farming in England has readily out of gear by the imgrain, flour, meat, butter and America. Many English farms, profitably worked, have been same preserves. Many farmers ordered bankrupt and have been the Sheriff, while thousands who staring them in the face have Canada and the United States.

This total is made by taking amounts per acre very much less than the actual receipts of well-known persons—fully one-half less in the case of oranges and olives; but in order to allow for any possible ill success, let us reduce the estimate still further by one-third, and we shall still have a total of $11,666 as the average annual profit from and after the 10th, or at least the 12th year. At the full rate of profit made in case (b), the return in the 34 year from the 20 acres of grapes would be $7400, and taking the low rate of $200 an acre, it would be $4000, or one and one-half times the amount spent in purchasing the whole 40 acres, supposing the price to be $75 an acre. Taking the orange and olive profits at the rate given by the receipts of the gentlemen quoted, we have at the end of the above period an annual income from the 40 acres as follows: Raisins, 20 acres @ $ 370 an acre ... $ 7,400 Olives, 9 " @ 2000 " ... 18,400 Oranges, 9 " @ 1000 " ... 9,000 If this were regarded as interest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, it would represent a capital sum of three hundred and forty-four thousand dollars." Every truth has two sides, look at both before committing yourself to either." Kidney-Wort challenges the closest scrutiny of its ingredients and its grand results. It has nothing to lear from truth. Doctors may disagree as to the best methods and remedies, for the cure of constipation and disordered liver and kidneys. But those that have used Kidney-Wort agree that it is far the best medicine known. Its action is prompt, thorough and lasting. A serious fire occurred early this evening in the railroad yards west of this city. A spark from a locomotive set fire to the Missouri Pacific local freight house, which was totally consumed, with its contents. The flames spread to the State line elevator, which was also destroyed. The elevator contained 70,000 bushels of grain, valued at $40,000, nearly all of which was lost. Nine freight cars, containing merchandise, were also burned. The total loss will reach $60,000; insurance, about $65,000. New York, Dec. 14. General Walker, in the Census Bulletin just issued, furnishes a tabular statement of the manufactories of twenty principal cities, showing that San Francisco is the tenth in the aggregate gross product, but first in what he calls individual product, that is the average product per hand employed. It also stands tenth in the amount of wages, and eleventh in the number of hands employed. Kentucky is indulging in quilting bees and cat shaking. After the quilting a cat is put upon the quilt. The young folks take hold of the corners and toss the animal till it jumps off upon one of the young ladies, who is then crowned queen of the bee.
