MORTALITY IN ENGLAND.
The mortality of men in towns demands
a careful investigation. At 45-55 the
mortality of London men is not far from
double that of men in the healthy districts
of the country. It is much higher at
every age than the mortality of women in
London. 111-ventilated workshops may
have something to do with this, and so may
indulgence in spirits and other stimulants.
The workmen in . all large towns suffer as
much as, and often more than, the workmen
of London. For instance, at the age 25-
35, and again at the age .35-45, and again
at the age -45-55, the workmen of Liver
pool, Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle
upon-Tyne, die at a still greater rate than
the men of London. In the ten years
1851-60, the deaths in thirty large town
districts of England, with an 'aggregate
mean population of 2,541,630, comprising
seven London districts and the principal
provincial town districts, averaged 71194
a year, while the deaths at the rate in
healthy country districts would have been
only 38,459 an annual loss of above
32,000 lives in much less than a seventh of
the population.
If the mortality of all England is arran
ged in five great groups, the following re
sult appears. Where the mortality was
fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen, per 1,000 per
sons living, the population was only eighty
six to the square mile ; where the mortality
was seventeen, eighteen or nineteen, the
population was 172 to the square mile;
where twenty, twenty-one or twenty-two,
255; where twenty-three, twenty-four or
twenty-five. 1,128 ;■ and "where twenty-six
and upwards, 3,399. Yet there can be no
doubt that mere proximity of dwellings
does not necessarily involve a high rate of
mortality. . If an adequate water supply
and sufficient arrangements for drainage
and cleansing are secured, the evils which
make dense districts so fatal may be miti
gated. It is remarkable that some of the
dense districts of cities are already com
paratively salubrious. The mortality of a
district is by no means bound to its density
of population. B'ermondsey is less densely
inhabited than St. James, Westminster, but
the mortality is considerably greater. Next
to each other in these tables stand West
minster District (St. John’s and St. Marga
ret’s) and the district of St. George, Hano
ver Square, with equal density of popula
tion in each, taken as a whole; but the
former has a mortality far heavier than the
latter. It is also to be noted that in Lon
don the mortality fell from the annual rate
of twenty-five per 1,000 in the decennial
1841-50 to twenty-four per 1,000 in 1851—
60. Ibe mortality of Lancashire and
Cheshire also declined from twenty-seven
to twenty-six. Taking all England, though
the growth in numbers, of course, increased
the density of population, the rate of mor
tality did not increase, but continued at
twenty-two per 1,000. — London, Gazette.
THE FROZEN WELL.
One of . the noat remarkable facts known
aoCjooiuuwt^v.— - :--
in Brandon, Rutland County, Vermont, m
which ice is found all the year round. The
writer .visited it in the summer of 1860,
and learned that in digging tor a farm well
in the fall of 1858, before cold weather
commenced, frost was found in the ground
about twenty feet below the surface, and
the ground was frozen .to the depth of forty
feet, where water was found in sufficient
supply. The well was stoned, or walled up
in the usual way, and the frost manifested
. itself immediately on the stones from the
surface of the water about twenty feet up
ward. Very soon it was seen that a well
of ice was formed, adhering to the stone
wall all around, and from the surface of the
water to the bottom of the well, several
inches thiok—and this has remained frozen
ever since, summer and winter. In the
coldest part of the winter the water freezes
over the whole surface, and frequently so
hard that it is necessary for some one to
go down and break it to procure water. The
last winter almost the entire water in the
well froze solid and remained so some time.
The writer has visited this well three
different summers, the last time but three
or four weeks since, and each time saw the
ice (which is plainly seen by oasting the
sunlight down the well by a mirror,) and
was well informed of all the facts by the
family residing on the same premises and
by friends in the vicinity. The only devia
tion from the facts as stated is that some
times, about the first of September, the ic.e
has disappeared, but for a few weeks only.
It has been found, by digging several
rods from it, that the same frozen condition
of the ground exists at about the same
depth. But none have yet given any satis
factory solution of the phenomenon.
In this same town, and within a few miles
of the pleasant village of Brandon, are
quarries of the purest white marble, iron
ore, kaolin or porcelain clay, and large
quantities of ochre of various shades of
color, all of which are worked and sent to
market, and coal of a peculiar kind, not in
large quantity, of chocolate color, solid, hut
in in it are found embedded the remains of
nuts of a kind not known and the form of
limbs and branches converted into coal.
MANUFACTURED ICE.
It was published last winter that a Cap
tain Girarde, of Augusta, Ga., had invented
an engifie by- which he could rapidly manu
facture ice of the finest quality. A distin
guished Kentuckian, just from Augusta,
called on us yesterday with a pleasant mes
sage from Captain Girarde, and confirmed
all the latter had published. He visited
Captain Girarde’s establishment, where he
saw a small engine, about six feet long,
turn out in ten minutes a solid cylinder of
ice of twenty or twenty-four inches in
length, and from eighteen to twenty-four
in circumference, as transparent as the
finest iee from the Northern lakes. The
inventor now supplies the city of Augusta
with the cooling article, and he says that,
when he shall get his establishment in full
operation upon the scale he contemplates,
he will be able to furnish ice at one cent a
pound. We congratulate the South that
she can hereafter grow her own ice. That
is an independence that she has an un
doubted right to assert. —Louisville Journal;
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1865
ANCIENT AND MODERN ENGINEERS.
In some respects the ancients certainly
eclipsed ns conceited moderns. Our engi
neers gape at their monoliths, their Cyclo
pean walls, their pyramids, and the ruins
of such temples as those of Luxor and
Baalbec, and ask each other how they were
reared. What contractor of our time
especially if debarred the use of steam
power, would undertake to quarry those
obelisks of hard red granite, to carry them
for vast distances, and to set them up
without chip or flaw, in the market place ?
What masons now could build such giant
walls, without mortar, lead, or iron clamp,
every monstrous stone accurately polished
and fitted so closely that a knife cannot
pass between the blocks ? Above all, how
were the dolmen and menhir reared by the
rude Celtic nations, untaught by Borne or
Greece ? And by what prodigy of toil or
adroitness did half-clad barbarians set up
the astounding monuments of Stonehenge
and Karnac ? It is probable that we under
rate the amount of science possessed by
the priesthoods of old, by- Druids, hiero
phants and Magi. The relies of what their
serfs did under their direction sufficiently
prove that the clerical architects knew their
business thoroughly. In turning a river,
in cutting navigable canals, in opening
mines, they showed no mean knowledge of
statics. Their principal undertakings were
such as we cannot approve; but of their
jealously guarded acquaintance with sundry
of the exact sciences, there can be little
doubt. By dint of rollers and pulleys, of
guys and cranes, by harnessing crowds of
men and oxen to the lumbering slabs and
shafts, by digging away the earth that had
supported solid scaffolding for the support
of the stones, they erected the granite
Anakim, at which we can but marvel.
THE LEVEL OF THE DEAD SEA ASCER-
TAINED.
A party of royal engineers, under the
command of Captain Wilson, set out in
September last to make a survey of Jeru
salem, and to “ level” the country from the
coast to that city, and thence to the Dead
Sea valley. The levelling from the Medi
terranean to the Dead Sea has been per
formed with different instruments by inde
pendent observers, and with such nicety
that the result can be relied on to within
three or four inches. Meanwhile bench
marks have been cut upon rocks and build
ings along the line followed, and traverse
surveys have been made, so that the work
done may become the basis of more extend
ed geodesical examinations of the interest
ing country toward which Christendom is
turning with new and serious interest. The
issue of these careful observations is to
show that on the 12th of March, 1865, the
Dead Sea lay one thousand two hundred
and ninety-two feet below the Mediterran
ean level; which, if it proves that our old
estimate was slightly in excess, singularly
confirms the calculations by barometer of
the Due de Luynes and Lieutenant Yignes,
who set it at one thousand two hundred
and eighty-six feet on the 7th of June,
1864. At this season of the winter, fresh-.
of 'three ’feet higher, and in the
fiercest heats of summer they are again
lowered six feet by evaporation. Thus the
greatest depression of the Dead Sea is now
fixed at one thousand two hundred and
ninety-eight feet; and as we know that
Lieutenant Lynoh found a depth of one
thousand three hundred and eight feet
opposite the Wady Zerka-Maia, we are
now sure that the bottom lies some two
thousand six hundred feet below the coast
at Jaffa. This is a depression of surface
beyond comparison with anything of the
kind, and undoubtedly it is due to some
tremendous natural convulsion, the memory
of which is preserved in the legends of the
buried cities, and in the dreadful and ac
cursed aspect of the sea itself. —London

INTERESTING DISCOYERY AT POMPEII.
‘ Abundant details have been received from
Naples respecting the freshly uncovered
temple of Juno, among the recent excava
tions at Pompeii. Three hundred skele
tons were found crowded within that sanc
tuary, a propitiatory sacrifice being evi
dently held in the hour they were over
whelmed. The statue of the goddess, with
attendant peacock, the tripod in front of
the altar, the golden censer, the jewels on
the person of the priestess, the rich vessels
holding a deposit of animal blood, are the
main particulars dwelt on, no chapter in
that awful story being more instructive or
interesting. The eyes of .Juno were of the
most vivid enamel, her arms and her whole
person richly decorated with gold trinkets,
her gaudy bird resplendent with a cluster
of glittering gems. -Aromatic -ingredients
lay calcined within the censer, while gor-_
geous lamps and bronze ornaments ilrewed
the tesselated pavement. — Globe.
CHOLERA ATMOSPHERE.
It has long been a question among scien
tific men, says the Opinion Nalionale ,
whether the immediate causes of cholera ex
ist in the atmosphere or not. Experi
ments recently made in Egypt seem to
favor the affirmative. Two balloons were
sent up, one of them over Alexandria,
the other over a village in the isthmus
where cholera had not made its appearance.
Prom each of the balloons was, suspended a
piece of fresh beef cut from the same ox.
After the balloons had remained up for
some hours they were both pulled down,
and the beef suspended over Alexandria
was .completely tainted, while that which
had been suspended over the village was as
sweet and good as ever. — Galignani.
An Enormous Steam Hammer is being
made in England which will strike a blow
equal to seventy-five tons. The anvil for
this hammer has just been cast, and will
weigh two hundred tons; it is pyramidal
in form and measures twelve feet square at
the base, and twelve and a half feet in
depth. Three months will he required for
it to cool before it can be worked. Some
idea may be formed of the blows this enor
mous casting will receive when we are told
that it is to rest on a bed formed by a cylin
der eighteen feet in diameter and twenty
feet in depth, filled with concrete.
A cut recently made for the Bighton
and Somerset Kailroad, through a quarry in
North Kaynham, Mass., struck a . layer of
peculiar white rock and lots of antediluvian
trees, shrubs and vertebra of extinct mon
sters. One of the trunks of the trees bore
plain marks of an axe.
The French correspondent of the New
York Times, in a recent letter, mentioned
that there had been quite a panic in the
southern part of France, about the develop
ment of silk manufacture in the United
States. It was reported that American
agents had lately been making arrange
ments with a' number of the best silk-work
ers of Lyons to go to the United States, to
put looms in operation. *“ This announce
ment,” we are told, “ shook the empire, to
use a strong phrase, to its very centre, for
if there be any one industry more than
another on which the French pride them
selves, and on which reposes the wealth of
the country, it is on the manufacture of
silk. To touch this manufacture is to
touch a vital point; and if the nation which
buys the largest proportion of silk of any
other should enter successfully into com
petition in this important industry, the
blow would be a most fatal one.”

A MINISTER AND THE BEES.
Dr. Cumming, of London, spends his
summer vacation in a country cottage, and 1
finds recreation from mental toil in a care
ful study of nature. He has interested
himself in watching closely the habits of
bees, and in a recent lecture in London
gave some of the results of his observa
tions. We find these extracts in a London
paper:
The lecturer commenced by explaining
why he had chosen this subject, and how
he had acquired his information. He was
in the habit, with his wife and children, of
going down to a cottage in Kent, in the
summer months, and as it had been wisely
said the bow must not always be bent, he
hhd sought out amusement in hours that he
could spare from those duties which devol
ved on him as a minister, and he had found
that amusement in studying the hive; and.
the result of that study was the observa-.
tions which'he would lay before them. At
his cottage he had nearly a dozen hives;
some of them had glass windows, and some
had not. Frequently during the day he
sat by these mves, listened to the music of
the inhabitants and: watched their habits,
and jotted down such observations as occur
red to him. The lecturer proceeded to de
scribe the inhabitants of the hive. There
were not three different kinds of bees, but
three species of bees in the same hive—the
queen bee, the working bee, and the drone
bee. There was a division of labor among
the working bees. There were the bees
that collected the honey, bees that collected
bee bread, for the nourishment of the young
brood, bees appointed to shape the cells,
others to guard the hive, and lastly, bees
to ventilate the hive. It was a curious fact
that the honeyf.beef i ,did*jiot«sb„from.-SowAiv.
ftrmffu' it settled, and labored at that single
flower.
Hd* coaid take any. of his bees , in his
hand without any fear of their stinging
him; but if a stranger went near, the
guard at once suspected him, and imme
diately flew at him. The sentinels relieved
each other at intervals, mounting guard
three or four at a time. If a hive were ■
watched, it would be found that those who
were appointed as ventilators came to the
mouth of the hive, four or five at a time,
and using their wings as fans, kept up a
current of air, so that the other workers
labored in a moderate temperature. It was
a curious fact, and well worthy of notice,
that if a bee-master, in order to ventilate
the hive, made a hole in , the top, the bees
immediately closed it up. From this it
would seem that the bees knew that fresh
air was essential to healthy life but that
draught was pernicious.
In describing the queen bee, and the
great deference and attention paid it by the
other bees, the reverend doctor said that he
had observed that the bees were very fond
of strong drink, and especially rum sweet
ened with sugar. On one occasion he
found the bees in one of his hives declin
ing, and he gave them some rum to revive
them. Instead, however, of using it as a
medicine, they drank to excess; for, on
looking into the hive subsequently, he
found the ladies in waiting, instead of be
having themselves in their usual decorous
manner, tumbling about, and the queen
herself very tottering. In fact, they had
got so drunk that, though it was Novem
ber, they thought it was swarming time,
and rushed out of the hi ve, but the frosty
air soon sent them back t o their hive..and
to their sfihac-sa.nsp° w
—Of'drones, or male beef,/there were from
1500 to 2000 in a hive/Ylt might be asked
what was the use of 3uyo drone bees in a
hive, since the queen jOi/iy selected one as.
her husband, and if fie'husband died never
married another, bu/ remained a widow.
Well, this was a pizzling question. He
had made a discovery which led him tQ
adopt a theory whim he must acknowledge
had been opposed ty certain ab ins.
During the breeding time, wl bees
were developing m the cells aj for
that purpose, the temperature sver
less than 80 or 90 degrees. the
cool of the morning, till tweh )on,
the drones remained in the hive. . Atj
twelve they went out for an hour or so, and;
then returned to the hive, remaining 'till
evening.- He noticed that the time of their
absence was just when the sun was hottest,
and the drones being fat, he believed that
they remained in the hive to keep up the
heat. The drones were drunken, lazy fel
lows. . As soon as the queen selected her
husband, the other males began to sip up
the honey, never doing anything to keep up
the stores of the hive. The other bees
must have learned somewhere the maxim
that if any man will not work neither shall
he eat, for as soon as they began to fill the
hive with honey, they garroted' the drones
and threw them out of the hive.
The lecturer then pointed out the folly
and wickedness of those who, using the
common straw hives, burned the bees to
get the honey. There were three different
kind of hives by which '"this might be
avoided —the storying, the collateral, and
the nadir hives. By these methods the
bee-master saved his bees, and obtained
honey greater in quantity and purer in
quality. He thought that any one living
in the country might make £8 or £lO a
year by keeping bees, so that a cottager
might thus pay his rent. He enumerated
the enemies of the bees—the wasp, the
spider, the tomtit, the snail, and the moth.
The greatest enemy of all, however, was
man, when he obtained the honey by using
sulphur. In speaking of the excellent mem
ory of the bee and its affectionate nature, the
lecturer said that he might, in the summer
time, be frequently found covered with his
bees, who all knew him, and therefore would
not sting him.
THE CATTLE PLAGUE.
A terrible disease among the cattle has
appeared in and around London In many
of the cow-houses in the city the whole of
the stock have been carried off; in others
most of the animals have died or have had
to be killed, to prevent the disease spread
ing. Professor Gamgee says it is the Rus
sian cattle plague, and adds that the infec
tion has no doubt been brought to this
country by some foreign cattle. Those who
are importing cattle should be on the
watch agaiiist this disease, which seems to
be different from and more destructive than
the one introduced into Massachusetts a
f&vr years since.
The following are said to be the symp
toms :
Variations in the earliest indications of
the disease will be manifested, these de
pending somewhat on the severity of the
attack, hut more especially on the circum
stance as to whether the digestive or respi
ratory system is the chief focus of the
malady.
As soon as |the affection declares itself,
the animal ceases to take any kind of food,
and in most cases even refuses water. Ru
mination is suspended, and the animal
stands with its head drpoping and the- ears
drawn back. If made to move, it .shows
great prostration’ of strength, and frequently
staggers, as if about to fall. The skin is
hot in places, and often remarkably so be
tween the limbs, the hind ones in particu
lar. An exudation early takes place from
"these parts, and is succeeded by crack and
sores. The hair is staring, especially along
the upper part of the neck t shoulders, and
back. The extremeties, are cold, even at
the commencement of the disease, and in a
latter stage the increased heat of the sur
face of the body gives place to st remarka
ble coldness, especially along the course of
the spine.
Tears trickle from the eyes, - which are
red. and expressive of suffering, and a
watery discharge flows early from the nos
trils. There is a continuous-increase of
these secretions, which become more or less
.purulent in the advanced state of the mal
ady. The mouth is hot, red, and “ furred,”
often presenting here and there raw-looking
spots, especially on the inner side of the
lips and along the roof. The breath is
foetid. The respiration is increased, and
IJ A. u
present in some cases. The pulse is quick
and weak, and scarcely to be felt, excepting
at the heart, even at the commencement of
the disease.
The bowels are sometimes torpid at the
outset; but diarrhoea, leading to* dysentery,
mostly follows, the evacuations being slimy,
liquid and of a dirty yellow color, occa
iS’onally tinged with blood. Tenesmus is
likewise present as a rule. Slight tremors
of the muscles of the shoulders and thighs
are to be observed in some cases, and so
also in an emphysematous condition of the
skin along the upper part of the back. In
milch cows the secretion of milk is quickly
arrested, a remarkable diminution in the
quantity taking place as one of the early in
dications-of the attack. As the disease ad
vances tbwards- a fatal termination, the
prostration of the vital powers becomes
more marked, the breathing short, quick,
and more painful, the alvine evacuations
foetid and more slimy, and the surface of
the body deathly cold. The animal will
sometimes sink as early as twelve hours
from the commencement of the attack, but
in many cases the disease will be protracted
to the fifth or sixth, and occasionally to the
eighth or ninth day.
The period of incubation of the disease
is found to vary, the majority of animals
sickening on the tenth day after exposure
:o the infection, but some have been st
acked, on. the seventh day.
MULCHING PEAR TREES.
The pear tree abstracts from the soil a
ery large amount of water, parting with it
t the surfaces pf its leaves, depositing dur
iiioed that a continuous stream of lukewarm
soon causes the substance on which
it falls to become much heated; and thus
in summer the sun falling on the earth
around a pear \ tree, naturally'gives to its
water a large amount of heat. Although
owing to the small amount of such water
which would comparatively pass into other
kinds of trees, they might not be injured;
yet with the pear\tree the quantity is so
large that it stiffens the vegetable albumen
of sap, from the great accumulation of heat,
and prevents the easy and natural flow to
the termini of thd tree, causing summer
blight, etc. All this is easily prevented by a
slight mulching. 'lt Should be remembered,
however, before severe weather in the fall,
that this mulch should be drawn away from
the tree, and not restored until the tree has
parted with its leaves. When this is neg
lected, the pear tree will continue to take
up water during its late growth, which fre
quently deposits itselffbetween the tree, and
the bark, thus ’causing loose bark, winter
blight, etc r . When the growth, however,
is arrested by the romoval of the mulch the
capillary'attraction is rendered less .active,
at an earlier date; thus the tree is pro
tect^. — Working Farmer.

HYMN AND TUNE BOOK:
THE LECTURE ROOM,

AND MISSION CHURCH,
512 PAGES. 16 HO.
IS NOW READY.
THE " SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK” is an
endeavor to give, in a volume of moderate size, the
best hymns and the best tones.
The Tunes, carefully selected and carefully adapted
•to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, both to express
the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in pious
hearts, the flame of devotion. They are old tunes
chiefly, with such approved new ones as the Church
will not let die.
The Tenor and Bass have been given on separate
staves, at some expense of space and cost; but to
many singers this arrangement will prove helpful and
acceptable.
, While the collection is primarily designed for social
worship, it is well suited to the use of the family and
congregation.
The New York Observer sayslt appears to us to
be admirably adapted to its purpose. . . . Many
first-rate tunes, arranged and printed so as to be
easily used. Itwillbe a most acoeptablebook in fam
ilies, mission churches, and, if our taste was the rule,
it would be used in Sabbath-schools.”
The Evdnoeliet says:—“The Publication Committee
of our Church have just issued a volume which we ap
prehend is destined to become highly popular among
our ohurches. It is entitled, ‘ Social Hymn and Tune
Book,’ and is designed for the lecture-room, prayer
meeting, family-circle, and mission church. It is one
of the neatest and most tastelul volumes of the kind,
which we have ever met with. Although a 16mo of
512 pages, it is by no means bulky, while the print is
clear and distinct, and sufficiently large for common
use. Most of the hymns are from the Church Psalm-
by means of the' index with its references,
every hymn oan be identifled in the two books. The
tuneß and hymns are arranged throughout the vol
ume on alternate pages, so as to suit the convenience
of a promiscuous congregation, and enable them to
join intelligently in their songs of praise.”
The Ameritan Presbyterian says:—“This Hymn
Book is really charming in its propriety and good
taste as an article of manufacture. ... In the
Hymns given, we find those that are loved in the
churches. . . . We hail with satisfaction a book so
well selected and so well arranged.”
