SCIESTiFIC SCRAPS. - . A stroke of lightning at Loitcn, Nor^ K tvay, recently cut in two a tree so smoothHh [y that the upper section seemed to have fieen sawed from the lower. Some photographs of a recent thunW tier storm in Franco are said to indicate that the normal form of lightning dis[ charges between the clouds and the earth is that of an irregular spiral. A new motor for running light machinery has been discovered in Germany. Petroleum in its fluid state is used, and the cost is put at about three cents p?r horse power an hour, and half a cent per hour for lubricating. hi a | iijicr laieiy reau ueiore n ljonaon engineering society, it was mentioned as i the result of many experiment; that 1000 ] feet of gas used to producc incandescent eleetric lighting by means of a gais en- j gine would give twice as much light as it would if employed as an illuminant in the ordinary way. Most dream impression*-, according to "Wundt, emanate from actual, though 1 weak, impressions on the nerves during j sleep. Thus an inconvenient position excites visions of laborious or painful experiences, difficult respiration produces the agony of nightmare, flying is suggested by the rhythmic movements of breathing, nudity by a fall of clothcs from the bed, crawling things by skin irritations, etc. The reproduction of past memories is associated with events which have left a profound mental iin pressiou. Those who would preserve the best relation between height unci weight may be interested in the formula of Dr. Brocn, the eminent French anthropologist, whieh provides tha the human body should weigh as many kilogrammes as it measures in centimetres over a metre. Thus n man measuring one metre eighty centimetres (70.87 inches) should weigh eighty kilos (170.37 pounds). Should his weight be more or less, he is too thin. As men grow older they lose their weight, but as a compensation they diminish in luijht also. Various trials of the new French horseshoe, which is made entirely of sheep's liom, are said to show its particular adaptedness for horses employed in towns, and known m't to have a steady foot on the pavement. The results of the experiments are therefore regarded as very satisfactory, horses thus shod having been driven at a rapid pace on such pavements without slipping. Besides this advantage, the new shoo is spoken of as more durable, aucl, though a little more expensive than the ordinary kind, seems destined sooner or later to replace the iron shoe. A Wllty It< joinder. George Curran is a Calais lawyer, famed for his wit and talents all through Eastern Maine. Not long ago a banquet ' of some kind was given in St. Stephens, i New 13runs\vicK, opposite Calais, ut which Mr. Curran was one of the invited guests and speakers. A pompous Englishman responded to the toast ''Great Britain" in the most glowing j terms, in which he used tlio well-worn expression, "the empire on which the ? sun nevor 6ets," nnd indulged in some comparisons which were not pleasing to the Americans present. Mr. Curran responded to "The United Slates." He remarked that he did not know as ho could say of his country, what tho gentlemc.i who preceded him had claimed for Great Britain, that it is "an empire on which the pun never sets," but he felt like thanking God that He is not afraid to let us stay in the dark! At a banquet iu Woodstock, Now Brunswick, once a learned big-wig of the Provincial Bar devoted a long, dry, and dreary speech to exj atint'nig upon the virtues and abilities of deceased celebiitics ia his nrnfpsfiion ill t Prnirin/>n 1 Curran's turn came, he observed that be- ] ing a lawyer himself ho realized that ia ] his profession as well as in others all tho i able members seem to be dead.

They wore a delightful change , from the seal and reindeer meat on which we had beon living, or at least an acceptable addition, for we had no trouble finding them everywhere in the greatest abundance shortly aftor the first one was discovered. The suddenness with which they became addled was almost startling.

That we may emphasize and clearly o: plain tho relation tho kidneys sustain to th< general health, and how much is dependen upon them, we pro|>o?et metaphorically Bpeukinz, to take one from tho human body place i#in tho wash-bowl before us, and ex amino it for tbo public bonofit. You will imngiue that wo have before us i body shaped liko a I ea:>, smooth aud glisten ing, about four inches in length, two in width and one in thickness. It ordinarily weigh in tho adult male about five ounces, but i: somewhat lighter in the lemale. A smal organ? you say. But understand, the bod} of the average size man contains about ter quarts of blood, of w!ii :h crery drop passe, through these Jitters or sciurrs, as they maj be called, man;/ times a day as olten a through tho heart, making a oorupleta revo lutiou in three minutes. From the blooi they separato tho waste material, working ?.way steadily night and day. sleeping 01 wakiug, tireless as the heart iuself, and fullj of as much vital importance; removing im purities from sixty-five gallons of blood eacl 'iour, or about forty nine barrels each day or !?, 125 hogsheads a year! What a wondei that the kidneys can last any length of tim< tinder this prodigious strain, treated anc aeglected as they are! Wo slice this dcMii ate onron onen length tvise with our kuii'e, and will roughly de>cril o its interior. We find it to be of a reddish-brown color >oft aud easily torn; filler! with hundreds o( it.tie tubes, short and thrca l-Iike, starting from the arteries,ending in a little tuft about midway from the outside opening into e avity of considerable size, which is called ihe pelvis or, rough y sneaking, a sac, v? h ct s for the purpose of holding the water tc further undergo purification before it passe; iown from here into the ureters, and so ot :o the outside of the body. These little tut es iro the filters which do thoir work auto matically, and right here is where the dis :a.tf of tht kidney Jirst begins. Doiug the vast amount of work which they are obliged to, from the slightest irrog ularity in our habits, from co'd, from higt living, from stimulants or a thousand ant] 5ne other causes which occur every day, thej become somow hat weakened in tueir norv?

The pelvi< sac goes on distending with this corruption, pressing upon the blood vessels. All thii time, remember, the blood, which is entering the kidueys to bo filtered, i3 pa3<in</ Ihrougf this terrible, disgusting pus, for it cannot take any other route! Stop and think of it for a momont! Do you realize the iinportaui'e, nay the vital necessity, of having the kidneys in order/ Cat you expect when they are diseased or ob structed, no matter how little, that you car have pure Hood and escape disens'f I would be ju^ as reasonable to expect, if i pest-house were sit across Broakway ant countless thouanls were compiled to gt through its pestilential doors, an aspjms frnn contagion anil disease, as for one to expeci the blood to escape pollution when con tantlj running through a diseased kidney. Now, what is tbe result? Why, that thi blood takes up and deposits this poison as i sweeps alonjr into every organ, into eve;] inch of muscle, tissue, llesb and bone, fron Sour head to your feat. And whenever, Iron ereditary influenc e or otherwise, some pan of tlw bidy is weaker than another, a count le>s train of diseases is establiBbed. such a consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia when there is a delicate stomal; rer^ousuess, in sanity, i arulysis or heart disease in thosi who have weak ner\ es.

It increases its stroke ii number and force to compensate for th< natural stimulus wanting, in its endeavor t< crowd the impure blood thro.igh this ob Btruction, causing pain, palpitation, or ai out-of-breath feelinjr. Lnnatural as thi forced labor is. tho heart must soon falter becoming w aker and weaker until one da^ it suddenly stops, and death from appaien "heait disease" is the verdi't.

This, too, thi kidneys have to separate from the blood witl all other de 'oinroMn" mntter. Hut you Fay: "My kidneys are all right, have no pain in thj back.
