(An Electric Thermometer. A new thermometer has been invented, designed especially for determining f the temperatures of difficult or inaccessible places, such as the bottom of the sea, etc. Its action depends upon 1 the well-known fact that different con- B . ductors of electricity vary in their re II fiietftnces at different temperatures, ?Dd at different ratios. It has also * been applied to measuring the temperature of steel lapc, nsed to estab- c lish a base line, instead of ascertain- * ing the temperature of the air, as was previously the custom. 1 Edible Snails. c As the German yearns for his pan f sage and the Englishman for his beef- e 1 steak, so the Frenchman, in -whatever t linoe he may be, looks forward to the 1 season for snails.

It now appears, \ however, in this country a<t if the land E snail were coming into favor, as the importations are said to be increasing B every year, and snails, served in t various waye, are growing popular for t, late suppeis. ^ As soDn as the first January thaw is ^ reported in Paris, the.

When the n steamer containing tho first shipment ^ Bails, special private dinners are ar- g T ranged, principally in tho neighbor hood of University place, to take place | as soon as the sDails are received. c Last year a curious thing happened. ? These snails are not common garden , | snails, but carefully selected fellows, well fed and cared for, which in the ? fall are packed in barrels, a layer ^ being placed at tbe bottom so that they quickly seize on the wood, then J3 another layer, who seize on the shell * beneath them, and so on until the * barrel is filled. Then they are placed in cold storage of a modified type, J and kept hibernating until January. "When shipped they are marked as snails, and great care is taken to have e them stowed in a cool part of the hold, d so that they arrive in a normal state. c T.oo+ Hoof n /?nncinrnmpnf. fnr ft O.OTl- f JJUOI/ J UU* M VVklW4gMU>v?v -wa ? ? ? epicuous downtown restaurant was e reported oft Sandy Hook.

Some persons having extraordinarily tiongeyes can see about eight thou land stars. There are believed to be stars ii fxistence beyond the reach of any elescope yet constructed. Through the Lick telescope anc )ther powerful instruments aboui ifty million stars are visible. Observations and calculations hav< ed A. Mallack to conclude that in ects do not see well, especially at a listance. A Missouri rattlesnake at the Masam of Comparative Zoology at Oam>ridsre. Mass.. has been observed to oso his 3kin twice a year and to add a attlo fcr every skin. Dr. Sohott does not think that the aaximum height of the waves is very ;reat. Some observers have estimated t at thirty or forty feet in a wind of he force represented by eleven on the Beaufort scale (the highest number of rhich is twelve); and Dr. Schotfc'f aaximum is ju6t thirty-two feet. The balloon sent up in Berlin with eif-registering instruments to invesigate the atmosphore at high lati ad?s came down with the instruments a good condition in Bosnia. The alloon had reached an elevation oi 3,872 feet (over ten miles). The bermometer had made desperate atempts to tell how cold it was ter liles above the earth, but failed. If id the best it could, but its limit was fty-two degrees. Electric cranes, operated from the ircuits supplying power and light, re used at the Sandycraft foundry, in Ingland.

The upturned eye is typical of de otioD. Wide open eyes are indicative o asfhneBB. The eye is really a self-adjustable elescope. Side-glancing eyes are always to be iistrusted. The eyesshonld not be used in weak tess or sickness. Brown eyes are said by occulists tc >e the strongest. Small eyes are commonly supposed o indicate cunning. Xear-sighted people almost alwayt iave prominent eves. The proper distance betweon thf yes is the width of one eye. There are from four to six grains oi queoas humor in the eye. The downcast eye has in all agei ieen typical of modesty. Many eyes supposed to be black are mly a deep orange brown. Eyes in rapid and constant motion ietoken anxiety, fear or care. People of melancholic temperamen' arely have blue eyes. The eyes of flsh andbirdsare round, rith no ansrlcs at the corners. The chameleon is almost the onlj eptile provided with an eyelid. The deer really weeps, its eyesbeinj >rovided "with lachrymal glands. Whenever blue occurs in the iris it s generally the predominant color. Eyes "with long, sharp corners, in> [icate great discernment and penetraion. Homer attributed a protruding ey? o Juno. He called her the ox-eyec uno. In all nocturnal animals the eyes re placed to look forward, as in the ase of man. The eye of the octopus is said to b( ilaok, large and as vicious as that of a nake. < The white of the eye showing be eath the iris is indicative of nobility f character. The eye of the Berpent seems tc iave an expression of intense hatred nd malignity. A bit of gold leaf l-1125th part cl n inch square can be perceived b} he naked eye. Locomotive Building, 1895.

Wm. J. Carlton, of Elizabeth, N.J., says "I consulted a physician In the country this summer where I was spending my vacation, about a chronic dyspepsia, with which I have been a good deal troubled. It takes tbo form of indigestion, the food I take not becoming assimilated. After prescribing for mo for some time, the physician told mo I would have to be treated for several months with a mild la.-dxtive and corrective?something that would gradually bring back my normal condition without thevio- ' - : lent action of.drastic remedies. I recently sent to the Doctor (Dr. m Thomas Cope, of Nazareth, Pa.) n box of P.ipans Tabules, and wrota him what I understood the ingredients to be?rhubarb, ipecac, pef permint, aloes, nux vomica and BOda. He writes back 'I think thi formula a very good one, and will no doubt just suit you.'
