SCIENTIFIC SCRAM. 1% has boon shown that the strength of the lion in tlio fore-limbs is only 00. i per cent of that of the tiger, and th< strength of his hind-limbs only 05.0 pe! cent. Five men can easily bold down i lion, but nine men are required to control a tiger. At Summer IIill, eighty-eight milci from Pittsburg, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, an iron bridge weighing 1&0 tonei was moved thirty-two feet m forty-cigli' minutes to permit the erection of a ston< arch bridge. A similar substitution wil be made in the case of all the iror bridges on this road, in order tha1 heavier engines can be used with safety. Two German physiologists have calculated the relative liability of injury t< the eye, finding that, if all parts of th< body were equally exposed to injury, wounds of the eye would bear to woundi of other parts the proportion of about one in six hundred. As a matter oi fact, the actual proportion is more that fwonftr timno ne rrmnf - i ? ,( ?iU4v,o ua v<?(| Ui l/ill 1 l/J *OiA 1 LI one thousand. In climates having a difference of 70 degrees in temperature between the hoi and cold seasons, a railway track 40( miles is 838 yurds longer in summei ^ than in winter. Of course the length ol road remains the same, but expansior forces the length of metal closer together, making an aggregate closing up of space between the rails of nearly a yard in each mile. According to the calculations made bj a scientific writer lately, it requires f prodigious amount of vegetable mattei to form a layer of coal, the estimate being that it would really take 1,000,000 yean to form a coal-bed 100 feet think. Thp United States has an aroa between 800,000 and 400,000 square miles of coal fields, the quantity being sufficient t< supply the whole world for a period oJ 1,500 to 2,000 years. About 100,000,00( tons of coal are mined from these fieldt in one year, or enough to run a ring around the earth at the equator five and one-half feet wide and five and one-hall feet thick. "The light of the future" is to bi seen at the house of two sisters in Westminster, England. This new light it nothing but a gns-jet surrounded by 8 glass vessel containing water. The funn} part is to told: The glass vessel containing water Furrounding the gas-jet so operates on the light that its brilliancy is magnified threefold, and the practical consequence is that a room may be lighted with one-half to one* third of the gas that would be required under ordinary conditions. If by surrounding a flame with water we could increase its luminosity, then wc might expect it to be about ten times as light at the bottom of the sea as it is at the surface. A Desperate FIglit with a Snnke. Jake Beiman, an employe on Cohn'a ranch, went up into the hills to get some cattlc when he cncountercd a snake. The reptile was close to a lari/ft mrk ? D when he found him, and the rock wai flanked by a log. Bc-iman noticcd a large hole at an angle of the rock and log, tor which the snake made on being surprised. Seizing a large rock he cast it atf the snake, grazing its body. On receiving the blow it turned like lightning and sprang at its antagonist. Beiman stumbled over some bushes, and the snake coiled about him in an instant. A piece of wood was close to the man's hand, and reaching for it he struck the snake several sharp blows on the head. Tye latter turned and ran his head into thfe hole, dragging Beiman close to it. / The man braced his feet against the spake, but could not extricate himself, 4b the snake had twisted half his body Around his left leg, and, as he afterward /aid, "Was just squeezing the life out of /it.** Beiman was nearly an hour in thia I predicament, until he finally thought i of his knife, and getting it out of his / pocket, jabbed it into tho snake's body. } After a few cuts tho snake became en/' raged, and began to wriggle its head out of the hole. Beiman saw that his time \ was short, and made a lively attack on the snake's neck, severing it. The 1 instant it was severed the ncck roso con- 1 [ vulsively in the air and a spout of blood / came full in the frightened man's face. At this point he fainted away, and he thinks he must have remained in that condition over an hour. When he came to the snake was still coiled around his Ileg, butdond. He brought it home, and it is now on exhibition at tho ranch. It measures ten feet eight inches without the head.?Oar son (Nee.) Appeal. Endorsed by the Slate.

A Smart Rat. About a week ago writes a Brad fore (Iowa) correspondent of the St. Lou Globe-Democrat, a farmer living near hei named John Mick, while feeding b horses late one evening, heard a n squealing as though his life depended \i\ on it. Upon investigation Mr. Mic found a great grizzly fellow, apparentl the ancestor of the whole tribe, busil engaged in rolling an egg from tho nei to tho edge of the manger. Anxious t see what he was going to do, Mr. Micl remained quiet and watched the pro ceeding. What happened can be bes told in Mr. Mick's own language: "Th old fellow kept a-squallin' and a-rollin the egg at the same time, till finally h got it to the edge of thamanger; then a to oncthe took, that egg between^ hi forepaws and held it chock up under hi chin and doubled himself up liko a ba and whopped himself clean over egg an all. and fcl. kr>Hl?n on hip nn tli i r ?

It is not often, snys an Exchange, tha the pear is grafted upon the apple, am perhaps it is questionable whether it i advisable to attempt any thing of th kind, except as a matter of curiosity Tho pear and the apple belonging to th same family of fruits may be grafted on upon tli2 other. "NVe have recently ob served an apple tree, which was mado sort of curiosity by the grafting upon i of some five or six different varieties o apples, one to each branch, witl one branch devoted to tho Flem ish beauty pear. The pea was growing and doing well and wa bearing fruit when we saw it, but th pear portion was not especially promising being very email and having an appear ance that would indicate a poor qualit; of fruit.

A great many people are afflicted with Ca >r tarrh who do not know what ails them; and i great many more continue sufferers wh( j. might be cured. Thickening of the membrane which lines tlu ie nasal passages, thus making breathing dlfXl< 0- cult; a discharge from the nostrils, more oi loss copious, watery or thick, according to th( Buigo or Uie disease; a sense of fullness in the head; a constant inclination to spit; and, In advanced cases, a dropping of Intensely dis1, gusting matter into the throat, are a few of the 13 prominent symptoms of Catarrh. Deafness, inflamed eyes,neuralgic pains, sore > :hroat and a loss of sense of smell, are very IS often caused by Catarrh. it All theso troubles are curcd by PIso's Remedy for Catarrh, Relief is had immediately after beginning its use, but it Is important that it be continued without intermission until the y catarrhal virus Is expelled from the system and healthy secretions replace the diseased acuon or cue mucous membrane. Manifestly it iu unreasonable toexp>ct a cure in a short 0 time of a disease that has been progressing for _ months or years. This question of time is provided for in the putting up of Piao's Remedy for Catarrh. It Is t so concentrated that a very small doss if 0 directed. The quantity in one package is ?ufflcient for a long treatment, consequently the ? expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse c for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulne-ts.
