ABYSSINIA, ETC., ETC.
LONDON, January 25.--The excitement occa?
sioned by the Fenian movements still con?
tinues. The authorities are exceedingly wake?
ful, and arrests are made every day. Infor?
mation has reached the government that
Thomas Simon, the sheriff of the Island ot
Alderney, was identified with the Fenians. He
was yesterday promptly apprehended and sent
to prison to await trial. Considerable feeling
was created by the recent resolutions of the
United States House of Representatives, de?
claring tho sympathy of the nation with the
Fenians. The journals of London have edi?
torials on this subject, and severely criticise
this expression of unfriendly feeling toward
England.
A dispatch from Madrid says : News has
been received from the provinces of Arragon
and Catalonia that a speedy rising is antici?
pated in favor of the eldest son of Don Juan.
The widow of Don Carlos had sent forty mil?
lions reals to aid the insurrection.
The Journal of St. Petersburg has an article
in reply to assertions made by some of the
Paris newspapers relative to the attitude and
intention of the imperial government, particu?
larly toward the East. The Journal says tho
Empire of Russia is great and powerful, and
as strong in its resources as is France. At
the ?ame time it is neither her wish nor her
policy to seek to extend her frontiers, but, on
the contrary, to endeavor to maintain peace so
as to insure a continuance of her progress.
She bears no ill-will or hate to the other pow?
ers of Europe, but does not wish to see any
one of thee: claim particular preponderance in
the influencing of its affaire, nor will Russia
allow others to arrogate such a position. The
article concludes with the assertion that what?
ever power precipitates war in Europe just now
will insure for itself and deserve the execration
of history in future.
The latest advices received from Amnesty
Bay and Sanafe show that the British forces
have as yet made no advance beyond the latter
point. Intelligence of the coalition of the
British captives has been received in camp at
Senafe. They were at Magdala, alive and well,
and were carefully.guarded to prevent escape.
, It was feared by many that they would bo mas?
sacred as soon as Ring Theodoras heard of the .
approach of the expeditionary force. No
threatening demonstration against their lives
has been made, and their treatment aa prison?
ers remained unchanged.
PARIS, January 25.-The Imperial govern?
ment has issued an official note, addressed to
the prefects of the several departments of
finance, announcing the new army law, and
arguing tint, instead of being a wax measure,
it is a pledge of continued peaoe.
Ten of the public newspapers of this city
have been fined a thousand francs each for
printing illegal reports of the proceedings of
the Corps L?gislatif.
COPENHAGEN, January 26.-In the lower
House of the Bigada?, the special committee
appointed to consider tho provisions of the
treaty and to examine the details of the nego?
tiations between the Danish and American Gov?
ernments, made a favorable report, which was
debated during the. latter part of the week in
secret session. On Saturday thu doors were
thrown open, and after a speech from the Pres?
ident closing the debate, the treaty of transfer
was ratified without a dissenting voice. The
treaty now goes to the upper House of the
Rigsdag for the final action of that body.
PAMS, January 28.-The Minister of Finance
Bays that tho expenses of the Luxembourg
complications and the possible liability for
Mexican bonds necessitates a loan of four hun?
dred and forty million francs. The report con?
cludes by stating that the "object of this
* heavy sacrifice is to secure peace for France,
which is the great aim of the Emperor's
policy."
LIVERPOOL, January 28.-The bark Wapello,

on the coast ol' Wales. Only three of the crew

THE CONVENTION,
CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE
RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS,
TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
The convention yesterday was chiefly engag?
ed hi di80ussing the tax and per diem ordi?
nance. Tha first was found to be snrroi nded
with so much doubt that it was referred back
to the Committee on Finance for reconsidera?
tion. The other, after considerable d?bale and
many suggestions, was finally ordered to a
third reading.
It is evident, however, from the expressions,
that few outside of the committee appreciate
the financial condition of the State.
A careful computation of the cost of debate
-not including the pay of officers, cost of
printing, rent of the hall, Ac-has enabled us
to fix the same at about tie dee dollars per
minute.
To make a motion, o fife-, A resolution, or
raise a point of order, to say nothing of the
groat amount of useless discussion on irrele?
vant subjects, is, therefore, a somewhat costly
undertaking.
Men who undertake to make the laws of the
people should accordingly be prepared to say
something either vory wise or very valuable
to off-set this fearful outlay which go rs from
the people's pocket with every tick of the
clock.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONTENTION.
F.TiF.VENT'H DAV.
The convention assembled at noon. Prayer
by Isaac Brooker ton. a colored delegate. The
roll was called and the journal read.
AN APOLOGY.
E. W. M. Mackey said he desired to express
his regrets to the convention for having as?
saulted, on the floor of the hall immediately
after its adjournment yesterday, the represen?
tative of one of the papers of the cit v. The
excuse he had to offer was the public at ion of a
libel upon his father in the columns of a dirty,
scurrilous and infamous journal; bt.t while
apologizing to the convention, he said, he had
no regrets to offer to the low individu tl whom
he had so justly chastised.
L. J. Langley (colored), moved tha; the ex?
planation be accepted and laid upon the table.
QUAUFTCATTONS OF VOTEBS.
Air. J. M. Rutland, Chairman of the Commit?
tee on the Legislative part of the Constitution,
reported back a resolution that all pen ?ons pos?
sessing certain qualifications shall be entitled
to vote, and asked leave to ?fer tho. same to
the Committee on Franchise and Elections.
So referred.
THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU.
B. F. Randolph (colored), from the Commit?
tee on tho Miscellaneous Provisions of the
Constitution, to whom was referred a resolu?
tion praying the Congress of the United States
to continue the Bureau of Freedmen, Refugees
and Abandoned Lands until the restoration of
the civil government, and then to establish a
Bureau of Education, reported that thev had
the same under consideration, and recom?
mend-first, that this convention petition Con?
gress to continue the Bureau of freedmen,
&c, until the restoration of the civil govern?
ment, and secondly, that a Bureau of Educa?
tion be established as soon as practicable.
Mr. L. Boozer (white), from the tame com?
mittee, submitted as a minority roport that
they were not able to perceive either the ne?
cessity or propriety of the proposed applica?
tion for the continuation of the Freedmen's
Bureau bevend the time Limited, to wit: July
16, 1868.
THE TAX ORDINANCE.
The special order {of the day beirg the ordi
j nance introduced and laid over yesterday, levy?
ing taxes for the support of the convention, J
In all probability a constitution and civ
eminent would be adopted before that
and after such a result had been accomp
the Bureau would be unnecessary. Si
least was understood to be the opinion o:
Scott. Should this effort to establish
government, however, fail, Congress wot
course provide for the emergency.
On motion of Mr. Boozer the two r<
were ordered to lie over until to-morrovi
o'clock, and t e made the special order o
hour.
RESIGNATIONS.
The President read the letter of resigt
of John K. Terry, of Colleton. as a me
of the convention, reiterating his full 83
thy with the purposes of the conventioi
stating that official duties compelled h
absent himself permanently from the SCE
of the body.
A member stated that Mr. Terry was
nected with the Internal Revenue Bureau
resignation was accepted.
The President also read a telegram fron
rocently elected sergeant-at-arms, thai
the convention for the honor conferred,
for family reasons, declining the same.
Propositions were made to supply the VJ
cry, but, on motion of N. G. Parker, the ser
of a aorgeant-at-arrns were dispensed with
thc financial business of the conventio
trusted to the Finance Committee.
FEINTING.
D. H. Chamberlain (white), of Berk
offered a resolution that one hundred and
copies of the journal should be printed
laid upon the tables of members every rr
ing.
C. P. Leslie (white), of Barnwell, opp
the proposition on the ground both of
necessary expense and uselessness. He c
see no reason for printing, when in nine c
ont of ten the convention voted that it was
nocess ?xy even to read the journal, espec
when it added so greatly to the expense
the people.
J. J. Wright (colored), abu argued that
daily publication proposed was not only
necessary but ridiculous. They had a jon
and a reading clerk, and every day could bi
formed of the proceedings of the day previ
and since the people were to pay for this e
expense, and not to derive any benefit fros
he thought it entirely unnecessary.
Mr. Leslie again urged that this thing ou
to be demolished. If the people were so
of money that they could afford to spas
portion of it for pnbhnhing the proceeding
the convention, he thanked God for it; t
nevertheless, did not believe it would be eit
a prudent or a popular measure.
C. C. Bowen said that having elect?
printer, although he was opposed to him,
thought it was due to that printer thal
should have as mnch of the work of the c
vention as was his right, and this being an
di nary practice of legislative bodies, be
vored the proposition.
The quostion bein ? taken, the motion 1
agreed to.
Lit may be remarked here that the disc
sion which decided this very important subj
cost the State just $600, according to
closest calculation; or at the rate of ten c
lars a minute.]
J. M. Bunion (white), of Greenville, mc
to strike ont the "entire dog" tax, alleging t
the p. opie were not able to pay it.
Mr. N. G. Parker (white), of Barnwell, Chi
man of the Committee on Finance, replied tl
the tax on dogs was expected to yield ten th
sand dollars, and if it was removed the conv
tion would be obliged to increase the lax
some other species of property in order to si
ply the deficiency. He, however, moved ti
the tax of fifty cents be levied on every dog
excess of one to each family. Mr. Parker a
suggested that many verbal errors had occn
ed in printing the ordinance, to which he cal
attention, ana changes were made according
W. McKinlay, of Charleston, supported
motion to recommit the ordinance to the ]
nanoo Committee, but it was not agreed to.
J. E. Jdlson moved that one dollar por di
be imposed as a tax.
Mx. Rutland, of Fairfield, raised the queati
whether d jgB were property.
Alexander Bryce (white), of Pickens, want
to know whether the gentleman would not
willing "to take dogs for tho amount of V.
tax." [Laughter.]
The question was taken on tho motion
Runion to strike out the dog tax, and decid
in the affirmative.
E. M. Mackey moved to strike out the t
of two and a half cents on every hundred dc
lars cf the value of buggies, carriages, gold ai
silver plate, Ac, and insert ten cents.
The amendment was laid upon the table.
B. F. Whittemore urged tho propriety of i
sorting a tax of "fifty cents on all dogs exce
one in a family. '
A long and rambling discussion followed
to the correctness of the several amounts nai
ed as taxes, and it being evident from calcul
tiona made by various persons, both delegat
and outsiders, that a serious error existed
the ordinance, tho whole subject was recor
nutted to the committee, with instructions
report to-morrow.
THE PEU DIEM OF 3OUBEBS.
The next subject in order was the ordinani
reported by the Finance Committee regnlatin
the pay of officers and members.
T. J. Robertson, of Richland, thereon mac
a speech, in which he demonstrated that thei
was no national currency in the treasury ; thi
if the members were to be paid at all ? mm
be in bills receivable; that although the bil
receivable were at present at a discount <
twenty per cent., the endorsement of the cot
vention would in ali probability cause thom t
appreciate in value; that the amount of taxe
levied and to be collected in the State wa
greatly in excess of the issue of these bilk
of which only $99,000 are outtanding, and ac
cordingly that by or before the middle of Apri
when the first payments were all made, the
would be absorbed.
The per diem named in the ordinance wa
nine dollars, bat the sum to be paid to ead
delegate was in reality only about seven dollar
aod twenty oente, there being at present a die
count upon the money. There was, howevei
no other available means of paying the ei
penses of the convention. It bad been pro
posed to issue bonds, bat he had consultei
with the most prominent financiers in tho Stat
and felt satisfied that no bonds authorized b;
that convention would be worth ten cents oi
the dollar. Consequently they must fall bac;
on the currency of the State, and by their owi
action in pledging the faith of the State fo
their redemption, make them good.
Gilb-srt Finsbury (white), said that whethe
three or five dollars was the per diem he wantei
greenbacks.
Mr. Robertson said he would givo th
speakor five dollars io greenbacks for bis billi
receivable.
Mr. Pillsbury, however, did not accep
the offer, and proceeded to say that if hi
worked for pay he wanted something definiti
-much or little, he wished to know the sum
of his earnings in money that ho could use
He thought, furthermore, that any action ol
i he convention with reference to the currency
would be prejudicial.
N. G. Parker strongly and forcibly insisted
-.hat the hills receivable of tho State could bc
made available f >r thc purposes of tho conven?
tion, although temporarily at a discount. The
taxes to bo paid, the inoomo of the State to be
secured under the orders of General Can by,
would more than balance the small outlay of
$75,000 required by the convention, and the
outstanding sum-amounting to less than
$100,000. He therefore saw no valid roason
why the convention should not adopt the ordi?
nance and take its'pay in this the only curren?
cy which could be had, and which in fact
would, in all probabilility, appreciate largoly
in value, much to the convenience of the mem?
bers.
J. J. Wright (colored), moved that they be
paid in bills recoivabie.
L. S. Langley moved to amend by substi?
tuting twelve dollars per diem instead of nine
dollars.
C. F.Leslie, of Barnwell, said the first thing
they knew tbafc resolution or something like it
would be adopted, and he wantod it on record
that for one he was willing to take three dol?
lars a day in greenbacks for such service as he
rendered in the convention. It was all they
were worth, and il' ho got any more, it was eb
much more than he was in tho habit of getting
that possibly he should go on a aproe and lose
the whole of it. Seriously speaking, he was
here to do lawful justice to His people, and
while appealing for justice he thought it
neither honest nor wise to ask an unreasonable
price for his labors. If any man in the house
should hire tue delegates he would probably
not offer them more than a dollar and a half a
day, and he would stake his reputation that on
an ordinary occasion more than a majority
would accept it. Ho desired to be put upon
record as opposing this measure. The sum
demanded was enormous and out of propor?
tion to the service rendered, and the people
were too poor to bo taxed moro heavily than at
present to meet the unnecessary expenses of
the hour.
Mr. Whittemore offered a resolution that the
amount named in the ordinance-nine dollars
per diem-should be the amount paid to the
delegates, and that the equivalent of the same
in billa receivable should be paid to them by
the Finance Committee, who are hereby in?
structed to negotiate the same for the purpose.
Considerable discussion followed, and many
motions were made, naming twelve, eleven,
ten dollars as the per diem, but the delegates
were evidently bent on securing the value of
the suma named in greenbacks. Finally, the
sum of eleven dollars a day was decided upon.
lt was then explained by Mr. Whittemore
that if the report went abroad, as it undoubted?
ly would, that the members had voted them?
selves eleven dollars a day, in the present im
Sovorished condition of the'State, there would
e a general feeling of dissatisfaction, unless it
was understood that this sam was explicitly de?
scribed as representing the bills receivable of
the State. He therefore insisted on the adop?
tion of at least the spirit of the resolution he
bad offered, and, on motion of F. J. Moses, Jr.,
it was agreed to receive the per diem-eleven
dollars-in bills receivable: and, in this amend?
ed form, other changes of the officers of the
convention being increased in proportion, the
ordinance was ordered to be engrossed for a
third reading.
The convention then adjourned.
EBBATA.-In our account of the disturbance
in the hall o the convention day before yester?
day, the reporter stated that he had been in?
formed that Dr. Mackey was seen with a horse?
whip in his hand. Ho is since informed and
satisfied that such was not the fact, and as a
matter of truth and justice the correction is
made.
In speaking of L. S. Langley, we wrote of
him as a Michigander. He is from Vermont.

POLITICAL.
TEE RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME OF CONGRESS
KOT YET COMPLETE.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti?
more Sun says :
It was fondly supposed that the supplemen?
tary reconstruction bill now pending in the
Senate, and which is the fourth of the series,
would be a finality. It has been discovered,
however, that the regal powers which are there?
in conferred upon General Grant eau be swept
away by a single breath of tho Executive. The
law whi ch revived the grade of general express?
ly provides that the officer appointed to fill that
position shall command the annie a of the United
States "under the direction and during the
?iloaauro of the President." By this law, poseed
esB than two years ago, the President can at
any moment designate another general-in-chief.
The military committees of the two houses are
hard at work to devise some plan to meet this
new difficulty, and in a few days we may, in
the language of Fernando Wood, expect another
monstrosity to be revealed to the gaze of the
conutry. The truth is, the whole reconstruc?
tion policy of Congress is very much like a
leaky vessel, for every hole that is patched up
two new ones are discovered.
SENATOR DOOLITTLE'S SPEECH.
Washington correspondents speak of Senator
Doolittle's late speech on reconstruction as one
of the most remarkable events of the session.
The vast crowd in the galleries, and the si?
lent attention of Senators on the floor of the
House, reminded old visitors at the capitol ot
the afternoon when D?nelas, also the cham?
pion of tho groat principles held in bis time by
a minority of American citizens, commanded
and won the sympathies of all men of every
political faith who could crowd into the Senate
chamber and liston. So mumpeachable were
many of the argumenta employed by the Sena?
tor, and so pointedly put forward wore the
more decisivo at a tem ea ts of facts, that Radi?
cal Senators often moved uneasily in their
seats, and applause in the galleries could
hardly be suppressed. At times the spoaker,
whose voice and frame and dignity of
manner were more fascinating than they had
ever bet?re boon, startled the whole Senate
into manifest admiration, and even when he
uttered hie most stinging accusations and sar?
casms against the party and the mon who are
trying to imitate Samson by razing the pillars
of constitutional government, his bearing was
too manly and his accent too free from any?
thing more personally offensive than the
honest indignation ot a patriot to cause a Bin?
gle Senator to protest. The Radicals who one
year ago, when the star of Radicalism was in
the ascendant, would have been confident
enough of their power to quit the chamber and
pay no attention to whatever Senator Doolittle
or any other Conservative might say in it,
exhibited a trepidation and demoriiization
which they have not shown to suoh an extent
at any time during the past memorable fort?
night.
THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS Di NEW ENGLAND
THE DEMOOBATS SANGUINE OF SUCCESS.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes:
Advices received here by Democratic politi?
cians from various parts of New Hampshire
and Connecticut give a large share of encour?
agement to the Conservati ves, and induce
them to feel sanguine of victory in the ap?
proaching elections. It is invariably repre?
sented, in these aocounts, that a wide schism
ia manifesting itself in the Republican ranks
by reason of the Radical Congressional policy,
and thal it needs only a statesmanlike exposi?
tion of doctrines on tue part of tho Democrats
to secure the votes of a considerable element
of dissenting Republicans, and give the coup
de grace to no insignificant portion of New
England fr.naticism. The Republican National
Committee, it is said, has been summoned to
con", ene hero on Monday to consider ways and
means of carrying New Hampshire. The Cen?
tral Republican Committee of thatrState cry
aloud for funds, demanding- $25,000 to savo
them from destruction; but the National Com?
mittee are said to be minus the needful, and
therois "a weeping and wailing and gnashing
of toeth" in viow or the dreaded Democratic or
Conservative uprising.
THE LATE SPEECHES IN THE SENATE ON THE
RECONSTRUCTION" BILL.
The speeches in the Senate on the Becon -
struclion bill still furnish much food for conver?
sation, and equally much for censure or com?
mendation. Morton's receives no undue meed
of praise from his party; but Doolittle's must
be accorded the merit of having boen directed
with all the preoision and efficacy of a bomb?
shell right into the Radical camp. It was a
natural sequence that the speeches in reply
should have been made with all the elaborate?
ness that eloquence and argument could
supply, for the damage done needed the
largest and most skilful repairing. It is con?
templated by tho Domocrata to print one hun?
dred thousand copies of Air. Doolittle's spooch
and use it as a campdgn document.
THE EETN3TATEMEXT OF SECRETARY STANTON
MERCENARY MOTIVES ATTBIBUTED TO CERTAIN
RADICALS.
It begins to leak out that the Radicals had
some other motive in reinstating Secretary
Stanton besides that ot placing him in th J
Cabinet as a thorn in tho side of President
Johnson. It appoars that a good many old
chima in tho War Department, dating from
tho period of the rebellion, and rejected from
time to time as being of too outrageous a
oharacter to bo recognized, are being urged
upon him now for payment by some of the men
who helped to reinstate him. His predecessor
ad interim did not venture to assume their re?
sponsibility, but the present incumbent, judg?
ing from the way in which his reinstatement
has been eflected, may bo thought impelled by
gratitude to liquidate the claims, even though
they relate to impositions of shoddy which
could only be tolerated during the war epoch.
CONCERNING CHEESE.-I will tell my readers
why epicures eat cheese first. "Cheese," says
Grimod de la Reynioro, "has the property of
taking away from' the mouth and palate all
taste that may have been left there by the pre?
ceding dishes, and thus prepares them (mouth
and palate) for the appreciation of the succu?
lent and delicate things of the desert, and thc
flavors of the wines." After cheese, there is
no order for tho other platos of desert; they
are partaken of according to taeto. A pluto of
desert that is always relished, especially by
gentlemen, ia the quatre mendiants. It is
composed of dried grapes, figs, hazlcnuts and
sweet almonds. It is not eschewed by the la?
dies either, and more than one pretty face may
be seen looking attentively and very earnestly
at the effect produced by a berry at the bot?
tom of a glass of champagne.

SCIENTIFIC ITEMS.
-Janssen, by spectroscope analysis, has
found that the flames of the volcano at Sonto
rin give evidence of the presence of sodium,
hydrogen, copper, chlorine and carbon.
-A ve y delicate arrangement has been in?
vented to determine with accuracy the color of
various stare. The question is regarded by
many astronomers aa one of considerable im?
portance.
-The sale of mother-of-pearl visiting cards
has been forbidden by the municipal authori?
ties of Munich, it having been shown by
chemical analysis that they contain a soluble
salt of lead, which, being poisonous and sweet,
would be dangerous in the hands of children.
-A Boston newspaper says a good way to
preservo cut flowers is to put a pinch of nitrate
of soda into the water every day when it is
changed. This, it says, will preserve flowers
for a fortnight. Nitrate of potash in powder
has nearly the same effect.
-Dr. Stone, au EDglish physician, writes to
tho London Times that cooked potatoes are as
efficacious against scurvy os raw ones; a fact
not generally known, but ascertained beyond
doubt b v Dr. William Baly, late physician to
the Millbank Penitentiary, where scurvy at
one time was not uncommon. The disease
wholly disappeared on the addition of a few
pounds of potatoes to the weekly dietary.
-Mr. Alvergniat, of Paris, has constructed
a new apparatus for proving that electricity
cannot pass through an absolute vacuum. Two
platinum wires ore inserted into a tribe so that
their free ends aro within about an eighth of
an inch cf each other. The air is then ex?
hausted from the tube bv means of a mercu?
rial column, after which the electric spark will
not poss from one platinum wire to the ocher.
-The gathering of sponge among the Ba?
hama Islands for conversion into bedding,
cushions, Ac? or for use in general upholstery,
is becoming a business of much magnitude.
The Nassau Herald, of the 8th instant, speaks
of no less than fifty-seven vessels engaged in
the trade, and says there hos been recent soles
of 12,500 strands of sheep-wool sponge at $1
per strand. This trade originates in the suc?
cess of a new American patent, and its growth
would be still more rapid ii adequate machine?
ry for manufacturing were in readiness.
-Anatomical and other animal specimens
may bo kept in an excellent state of prepara?
tion after immersion in a liquid composed of
fourteen ports glycerine, two of brown Bugor,
oed one of nitre, the addition of sugar and
nitre being discontinued as Boon os o slight de
?osit begins to forra. After remaining some
ays in the liquid, dependent upon its size, the
specimen may be removed and allowed to dry,
after which it can be kept in the open air o
long time. The addition of a soluble salt of
arsenic, and possibly a few drops of carbolic
acid, might perhaps be an improvement.
' -(Tod liver oil, which has now become an
important element in mutet ia medico, it is
well known unfortunately possesses a taste, the
repugnance to which many patients cannot
overcome. A physician of Pons has endeavor?
ed, and not, it seems, without success, to re?
move this obstacle by ridding the oil of its
characteristic taste. His recipe is as follows :
Cod liver oil, 21 drachms: alcohol, at 40 degrees
of Bourne's aerometer, 12? drachms; essence of
peppermint, 45 grains. By mixing these in?
gredients au emulsion is obtained, which is
administered at the rate of three tablespoon?
fuls a day. The proportion of these ingredients
may be vori9d according to the taste of the
patient. The physician referred to soys that
he has obtained very satisfactory results from
this mixture.
-The inhabitants of Lee County, Virginia,
were lately quite excited at the simultaneous
appearance of three rising suns, which some of
the more ignorant regarded as an omen of
coming evil. The true sun was surrounded by
a beautiful colored halo: above this was another
partially developed halo, beneath which two
mock suns were visible for a short time. The
phenomena of colored halos are due to the re?
fraction of light by frozen particles floating in
the atmosphere at a great height, while the
white or uncolored parhelic circles arise from
reflections. They are never seen unless the
cirrus or cirro-slralus cloud intervenes between
the sun and the observer.
-An instrument, it is said, oan bo con?
structed to measure the transparency of the
atmosphere. It is a matter of common obser?
vation that there is au almost invariable con?
nection between the transparency of the air
and the state of the weather. For an explana?
tion of this fact, Professor de la Bive, of Go
neve., adopts the views of Pasteur, who believes
that the atmosphere near the earth is full of
myriads of organic germs, which, when dry,
form a light fog and intercept light. When,
however, they are saturated with moisture they
become transparent, and a heavy rain washes
them to the earth. So, again, the atmosphere
is clearest dtuing the winter season, the cold
being fatal to tho life of these germs. If, now,
this explanation is the true ono, Professor de
la Bive argues, then any contrivance for rela?
tively- measuring this transparency moy be of
great importance m a sanitary point of view.
Such an instrument tho Professor constructs
by using a double telescope with a single eye?
piece, by means of which the images of two
objects of different but known distances con be
compared, and tho transparency of a measured
stratum of air readily determined.
-The action of salt water upon cast iron hos
become a serious study, now that BO many iron
structures aro exposed to such deteriorations.
Besides the "rusting" which everybody knows
of, there is a process of "rotting" in this act?
ion of sea water; and to a less degreo this pro?
cess goes on also in the air. The rotting of
cost iron, os engineering oxploins, is o loss of
strength or cohesion without a loss of volume
or size, whilo in rusting the iron loses no
strength, except in proportion to tho diminu?
tion of tho material itself. Tho former is the
more dangerous manifestation, from its not
being recognized easily externally. An Eng?
lish chemist, by applying certain acids, and
particularly acetic ?cid, to cubes of cost iron,
effected, after some months, a complete change
in the metal, substituting a soft carbon com?
pound for tho original iron, without any alter?
ation in bulk or in tho appearance of its sur?
face. A less marked chemical action of the
same nature goes on between sea water and
cost iron; but it if suggested that a coat of
impervious paint might lessen or prevent th*?
action. Thia, howover, experiment hos not
yet cstablisherl.
-Dr. H. Volgel of Berlin 'rives in the Phila?
delphia Photographer Swan's process for trans?
ferring carbon prints. A solution of gelatine
ono part, water eight parts, nnd glycerine one
fourth of a part, ii first made, in which the pic?
tures aro completely immersed along with a
piece of tine tissue paper. They aro taken
together out of tho solution, when they will
adhere quito firmly to each other. They are
now dried; and with benzine it is easy to sepa?
rate them from the fine paper and paste them,
or else paste the wholo on card-board and
then separate. Dr. Vogel has also made some
successful attempts to transfer carbon prints
to gloss. For this purpose the developed
carbon print which still rests on the caoutchouc
paper, is floated ou a solution, consisting of
gelatino twelve parts, glycerine three parts,
and water one hundred parts. Next on the
worm plato of glass a little of the above solu?
tion is poured ; the picture is laid on this, and
the surplus of the gelatine is removed by pres?
sure with the fingers ; when nearly dry the
picture is brushed over in order to tan it, with
a solution of one part of chromate of iron in
three hundred parts of water, after thia it ia
allowed to dry completely, and is then, by
means of benzine, dissolved off. On opal gloss
these pictures are very pretty, particularly
wbon the tissue is of a brownish tone. These
positive carbon prints on glass may become
important in the future, for it is easy to make
from the positive carbon print on glass a nega?
tivo carbon print on glass also, und thus we
would havo the means ol supplying negatives
and giving the latter o permanence equal to
tho carbon print.
Half a century ago, tho Now York Postof?ce
establishment was run in a single room of a
private dwelling corner of Garden and William
streets, by one man and a boy besides the post?
master.
It has been ascertained by recent experi?
ments, that a bullet passim through o glosa
at a very high velocity, shatters tho pane as
much as at a low velocity. Between tho two,
there is o point where the bullet makes a round
hole of the same diameter as itself.
