OUEIOUS l^W?IENTIPIO. j Effects of Tobfeboes.?Experi ments aro.uow being conducted atCher bourg, JT?aSs^^order to- determine the effects of submarine torpedoes. An apparatus oborged with 8.800 lbs. pow der was sunk to a depth of CO feet. On explosion a column of wator 600 feet in height was thrown-into* the air, and a hulk anchored at a distance of 18 feet from tho spot iwas broken completely in two. The earth at tho bottom was torn up, making a hole 40 feet in diameter und about 5 fcot deep. n VaiiUE of Walnut Timber.?Ab an illustration of tho increasing value of walnut lumber, the Indianapolis Jour nal notes thntpthe standing walnut trees on a half section of land en Eel river, in Miami oounty, Indiana, wero sold to a lumber dealer for $17,000.

Walnnt lumber is eo^iVig^ rh?re*' - and 'more into uso throughout this country and Europe, nnd at present a very large business is done in preparing and shipping it irom Indiana. _ New GiiAzm? :fok Poxteby.?A hind of lead glazing is used upon common pottery, the employment of which often causes eases of lead poisoning among the workmen. M. Const ant in, of Brest, Prance, has recently devised a substi tute, which is'said to be much superior, and to. possess the hardness and inalter ability of glass. He uses silicate of BodaT-pnlTeristed-'-truartz; -chalk, and a small proportion of borax. This glaz ing may bo colored green by popper, and brown or violet by manganese. It is already coming into use in many of tho largest Frenoh potteries.

On rais "l*"r$rtfJ3ift> J?e.4i oftniason work was re vealed, m which was placed a stone sar cophagus covered with a marble lid. Within t he receptacle were the remains of a human .skeleton, some portions of whioh were yet perfect/ ' Beside the body lay a sword, lance, helmet, spears, a gold clasp* and ring, a piece of very beautiful gold tissue, and a flask of wa ter .which -was still remarktbly clean. Tho removal of olay from the bottom of the gravo bronght out the letters Gisvl ?from whioh archaeologists have de cided'that the remains aro those of Gi Bulf, duke of the Lombard marches of Friuli, who fell ijf battle in iBU, while repelling an invasion of tho Avars. Coating Oast Iron with Oofpeb.? The society of forges and foundries of Val d'Osne has recently opened in Paris mi exposition of their curious products, consisting of objects of art in oast iron, some of considerable volume, whioh are covered with copper by the Gau (loin Srooess. This operation admits of tho eposition of copper upon, oast iron without necessitating any previous coat ing of tho latter. The:difficulty of ac complishing this has been the scouring of the iron, tho baths of chemicals hitherto used being incapable of thor oughly cleansing the metal. M. Gau duttt&BS -found, that Srery acid solutions are necessary to remove the oxides of iron whioh escape the scouring ; but at tho same time the acids do not attack the subjacent metal. Snob a solution nets continually 9h tho points upon whioh the copper is not deposited, and endB by dissolving tho oxides and allow ing tho deposition to .take place. A ? large number of organio acids have buAB^OJin?Usuitable for the purpose. The Oxalates of copper combined with tb p.qu ad ri-Oxalates of soda aro said to giwhsefloavresults.

Receipts for Makinc Br. Sage's Oa tarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Something over a yoar sines, & periodical la ened in Berlin, Prussia, and laying claims to a eclontffio charoctor, published what was rep resented as being tho fonnulro or rocoipts for making Dr. Sage a Catarrh Bomody and Dr. riorco^B Goldon Medical Diacovory. The poo SIo were loft U Infor that those had been de noted from a careful chemical analysis of the medicines, which are rapidly growing in popular favor in that as well as in this aud moat other civilized countries. The receipt? wore evidently invented by those jealous of the roputation and largo sale which those modi ein ca aro rapidly acquiring and who are pecuniarily JutoroBted in endeavoring to check their ntdo. So ridiculoualy propoBtarous aro thoflo receipts that modicinos compounded after ihnm <y>"M never have galnod any repu tation or Balo in any country, for they would t o so eaustio, poisonous, immediately and pos itively injurious, as in ovory coso to bo prompt ly con do in ned by the people on the first trial aa mlBorablo. dangorona and wiokod humbugs. Whereas, it is a well known f act that alt my medicines enjoy the reputation, honestly earned, of being not only efficacious, but per fectly mild, pleasant ana harmless .in effects. Notwithstanding, however, that tbo bogus re ceipts were so ridiculoualy proposterons as scarcely to have been believod by the moat uneciontiflo, thoughtless and uuBUBpoctlng pooplo, yot strango and incredible as it may Boom, a paper of high aclontlfio protontiouB, published in this country, copied tbo fictitious rocoipts from the Gorman paper. This they evidently did without a moment's rcllootiou, for that much consideration, given by an in telligent mind, to the receipts and tbo propor tioa and effects of the mixtures that would re oult from such a compounding of well known eaustio and poioonous chemicals and drugs, would bavo condemned thorn as bogus fabri cations, and tlio protontiouB pnbliahers of tho ?apor that originally inaortod them, as either naves or fools. On my atttontlon boing called -to tho matter, in order that aomo thonghtloss and ovor credulous pooplo might not bo deceived and mislod by Boeing such an announcement in a paper laying claim to a scientific character, as woll as to clear xayaelf of tho imputation of being guilty of perpe trating a wicked fraud upon tho people, as Buch announcement, if uncontradicted, would imply, I, as proprietor and manufacturer of tho aforesaid celebrated medioinoa, went be fore a maglBtrato and mado oath to tho fact that tho eaid rocoipts were uttorly false. My ' affidavit was sent to tho publiahers of the pa porn into which the bogus receipts hod been copied, and in a subsequent issue an editorial notice was given of my denial. But, not withstanding BUOh correction and denial, made under oath, certain individual!", who lounge around and infOBt our largo cUiob, gaining a livelihood by perpetrating all kinds of catch penny f roods upon tbo credulous, woro thereby given tho hint that, aa my modicinos woro uni versally popular, by advertising for Bole bogus receipts for making them, they could get lots of ignorant peeplo to bite at their bolt. Ono Frank M. heed, of 139 Eighth street, Now York, who publishes "Love and Courtshin cards," a "Fortune Tollor and Dream Book." "Tho Myatorioa of Love Making," "How to Woo and Win," and various other uwindloa, send? hin dupes tho following in oxchongo for their stamps. It is copiod from tbo papers alluded to and is as follows: " For Dr. Sago's Catarrh Bomody, tako eight grains carbolic acid, soven grains of camphor, and two and a half grains of common salt, the whole to bo colored with a little Fruaeian blue." This makes a powerful cauatio mixture as unlike Dr. Sago'a Catarrh ltomedy (which is perfectly unirritating, mild, soothing, and pleasant') as light ia from darkness. As "a burnt child, droada tbo lire," if any have boon ao foolish as to have burned their nosos sore with tliis oaUstio compound, thinking that they woro using the samo aa Dr. Sago's celebrated Cli ter rh Remedy, they will it is to bo hoped, profit by tho loason thoroby taught thorn and not be ao ready next timo to bite at ovory .Catch-penny advertising dodge that swindlers may offer them. For Dr. Plorco's Golden Modical Discovery tho bogus 'rocoipt reads: "Tako four drachma purified honey, fifteen grains extract poisonous lettuce, thirty grains of opium, three and a fourth ounces, dilute Sirits, three ounces water. Mix." Of the lieuloua bogus formula I will say, as I did under oath, not ono of the medicinal or poi sonous ingredients therein givon enters into tho composition of my Golden Medical Dis covery ! And furthermore, I will Bay that I defy all the chemists in tho world to ascertain, by chemical analysis, tho composition of any of my family nie die in es, as they cannot be an alyzed so as to determino their ingroJiemu, many of which are now in medicine, and, like nearly all vegetable extracts, tboro aro no known reagents or chemical tests by which their presonce can be determined. If any further proof is wanted to satisfy any person that tho receipts given above are utterly false lot that person have tho mixture as given, compounded, and, not only will it bo seen to bo entirely unlike my Discovery in appear ance, but if a further test is wanted, by taking a doBO of it, it will bo fomid to produce drowsi ness and stupor, whereas my Discovery, in over BO largo doses, produces no auch effect. Others, located in different citios and engaged in advertising for sale bogus rocoipts for making my medicines, Bond those that bite at their bait other and various ridiculous for mula;. Ono sent ont by a villainous knave, located in Chicago, gives tho chief ingredient of Dr. Hugo's Catarrh itomody aa being blno vitriol, which is only equaled in absuraity.by another issued by parties in Philadelphia, who say that the ingredients composing Dr. Sago's Catarrh Bemedy aro "burnt alum, whito vitriol, sugar of load, and prus aiato of iron," and that my Goldon Modical Discovery ia " simply syrup and ti net uro of ginger." In refutation of all the various and ridiculous bogus receipts for making my medi cines that have ever been, or may hereafter bo pubUahod Mid circulated, I would say that I have, in dealing with tho people, ovor boon governed by tho maxim that "honeBty is tho best policy," and that "success makes suc cess;'for it is becauuo some sufferer has ob tained roliof and euro, that that BUfforcr has eont anothor to mo; and it is bocauao thou sands have been cured that they havo recom mended mo and my superior rcmodios to other thousands of snfforora. In this way I .am constantly making living advertisements for myself and modiclnoa. It ia a common thing to hoar pooplo aay that plonty of advertising will mako a success out of anything, win -t I mi it has any merit or not. Nothing could bo farther from tho truth. It ia with tbis delu sive idoa actuating them that thousands havo rushed headlong into advertising, only to find themselves bankrupt in a littlo while. Not more than ono in fivo hundred, who engago? in advertising modiclnoa, over makes a finan cial success out of tho undertaking, for tho reason that a modioino to bo successful must possess unusual and extraordinary merit. It is not enough that it should bo a remedy of fair ofllcocy i It must poBbOBS Buperior and wonder ful remedial properties,, for if it does not, thoBO who use it with tho most sanguine ex pectations will condemn it. Thoy wul oxpoot much of it, and it must bo equal to tho toat, or it will provo minouu'to tho propriotor. For, although a groat display of advertising will, many times, croato a considerable immediate demand for tho article advortisod, yot if that artieio does not possess real merit, t ho demand will bo only temporary ; tbo fraud will be de tected, and' tho reaction will upaot tho proprio tor and all his high oxpootationa, long boforo lie ia able to recover tllO a mount of mono v already expended. With this viow of tho sub ject, I havo felt warranted in contracting for Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of advertising in tho nowspapors of thin and other eon n tri es, fooling perfectly assured that tho merits of my remedies were'so great OS to iilMiro a financial success out of such a bold undertaking. And hi this I havo not boon disappointed, for my sales have increased steadily year after year, until thoy will this year largely exceed half a million dollara worth of my modicinos Thia grand succoea. ,1 am eortoin, could never havo been attained bod tho medioinoa not poasesaod Buporior and wundertul merits. The Toledo Blado, in an editorial article, has tiuly said, aiiuding tc my business, that "groat 'success |? never achieved without mrrit. An articlo that holds tho field yoar af ter yoar, and tho sales of which increase regu larly and rapidly, must havo absolute morlt." Thoartiolo continues: "Dr. R. V.

Ilcr pre cious metals have enriched thousands of our folio v? ollizcuo, and have proved the main stay of Amor ica in times of nation al pecuniary embarrassment. Her min ing industries have given employment to myriads of mechanics and laborers. She is the land of promise to the fortune seeker. But the golden state has lately Bent us a new treasure. Her last nug get is Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters. The health-giving principles contained in this ourative are a more precious boon than gold. In all affec tions of the liver and stomach, remit tent and intermittent fevers, rhoumn tism, and pulmonary diseases, it may bo relied upon. As a blood depnrent and invigorant it is unequalled, purify ing the circulation and infusing new vigor into the debilitated frame. It conquers that most unyielding of all complaints?r'yspepsia, and we know of no other remedy that can accomplish this. Its entire freedom from nicoholio spirit, which retards and neutralizes the effect of any medicine, and whioh forms the basis of many of the psendo bitters and tonics, doubly enhances its value to .the sick. The papers of the United States vie with one another in doing honor to Dr. Walker.
