During Home experiments iu the pro* ductlon of excessively low tempera [lures Pletet, the KVench investigator, burned himself with cold several time*, and the effects were so re markable, nays Hurper's Weekly, that he deemed them worthy of description to a body of scientific men. It appears that (here are two kinds or degree* of cold burn, In the cane Of Out less severe "burn*" the skin nt first turns fed, but becontes \jpio the next day. ' Tho inflamed spot swells, and a period, varying from a 4Wonth to six weeks, elapses before the wound -heals. *> When tho contact vVlth the cold sub stance is longer and more complete, a burn of the second degree Is pro duced. A malignant, and stubborn wound ia formed, and the process of healing iu very slow. A drop of liquid air falling on Pic* tot's hand, produced a cold burn which did not completely heal in six months, while a scorch from heat, accidentally inflicted on the same hand and nearly st the name time, was healed in ten or twelve days. MARVELOUS GIFT OF SPEED Fsats of Old-Time Runner Make Pres ent Day Performances Look Insignificant* Have you ever heard of Ernest Men sen? Years ago his renown spread all over Europe. His exploits made the pedestrian feats of tho preHent day look insignificant. He was a man who first came under notice by running from Paris to Mos cow, a distance of 1,760 miles, in 13 days and 18 hours. In 1836 he ran through Central Asia from Calcutta to Constantinople, bearing dispatches for the East India company. The dls I tance was 5,615 miles, and ho accom plished it in 60 days, one-third of the lime taken by the swiftest caravan. A favorito employment for him waB as tho messenger extraordinary of sov erelgns. He ran from' country to -Country, bearing letters and dis patches of tho highest importance, and always beating mounted couriers matched against him. He never walked. Invariably he took the direct route to his destination, climbing mountains, swimming rivers and guid ing himself through forests In a way known only to himBelf. His food was a small quantity of raspberry sirup. Emerson's Trumpet Call. In that unceasing march of things, which calls forward the successive generations of men to perform their part on the stage of life, we at length are summoned to appear. Our fathers have passed their hour of visitation- ? how worthily, let the growth and pros perity of our happy land and the se curity of our firesides attest. . . . The turn has come to uh. The trial of adversity was theirs; the trial of prosperity is ours, l.et us meet it as men who knew their duty and prize their blessings. Our position is the most enviable, the most responsible, which men can fill. If this generation does it duty the cause of constitu- , tional freedom is safe. If we fail ? if wo fail, not only do we defraud our children of the Inheritance which wo reeeired from our fathers, but we blast tho hopes of the friends of liberty throughout our Country, 1 throughout Europe, throughout the j world, to the end of time. ?
