The Lesson of the Bath.
One of the most valuable discoveries
made by Archimedes, the famous scholar
of Syracuse, in Sicily, relates to the
weight of bodies immersed fn water.
Hiero, King of Syracuse, had given|a
lump of gold to be made into a crowr
and when it came oack he suspected that
the workmen had kept back some of the
gold, and had made up the weight by
adding more than the right quantity of
silver; but he iad no means of proving
this, because they had made it weigh
a8 much as the gold which had heen
sent. Archimedes, puzzling over this
problem. went to his bath. As he stepped
in he saw the water, which his body dis-
placed, rise to a bs igher level in the bath,
and to the astonishuwent of his servants
he sprang out of the water, and ran
home through the streets of Svrac use
almost naked, ¢ rying. * Furcka! Eureka!" 3
(** I have found it! | have found it!")
What had he found? He had discov-
ered that any solid body put into a ves.
sel of water displaces a quantity of
water equal to its own bulk, and there-
fore that equal weights of two sub-
stances, one light and buiky, and the
other heavy and small, will displace dif-
ferent quantities of water. Thisdiscov-
ery enabled him to solve his problem.
He procured one lump of gold and
another of silver, ench weighing exactly
the same as the crown. Of course the
lumps were not the same size, because
silver is lighter than gold, aud so it
.akes more of it to make up the same
weight. He first put the gold intoa
basin of water, and marked on the side
of the vessel the height to which ‘the
water r. se,
the ~ lvor. which, though it weighed the
same, sei, being larger, made the water
rise higtier; and this height he also
marked. Lastly, he took out the silver
and putin the crown. Now if the crown
had been pure gold, the water would
have risen only up to the mark of the
gold, but it rose higher, and stood be-
tween the gold and iver marks, show-
ing that silver had been mixed with it,
makingit more bulky: ard by calcula
ting how much was displaced. Archi-
medes “could estimate roughly how
muen silver had been added. This was
the first attempt to measure the specific
gravity-of different substances; that is,
the weight of any particular substance
vompared to an equal bulk of some othier
substance taken as a standard, In
weighing solids or liquids, water is the
usual standard. — Harper's Young People.

that he was enabled to live and relate
them. After a tedious journey through
the snow he reached the home of one
of the owners of the claim, and together
they forced their way for three miles
further to the mine, Lighting candles

recognized the urgency of having a coo!
head in such an emergency. and told
the other party to take things easy. He
dropped dhe candlestick, sack of speci-
mens and the hammer to the bottom of
the winge. Then bracing , one of his
shoulders against one side of the hole
and his feet against the other, worked
his way up inch by inch, the owner
taking in the slack of the rope with one
hand. Thus he ascended ten feet. Then
the sides of the winze grew so far apart
that this pian could no longer be pur
sued. There was but one salvation.
The remaining ten feet must be climbed
“hand over hand." Releasing his feet
from the knot, he put the idea into
practice. Exhausted by his previous
efforts in walking to the mine and ex-
ploring it, it seemed to him he had
climbed a mile, and stopping to rest,
found by the voice that he had yet five
feet to go. With another superhuman
effort, another start was made. Alter
what seemed an age, one of his hands
struck the edge of the covering on one
side of the mouth. His body and limbs
were suffering the agonies of cramps
and soreness, and his brain began to
reel. All sorts of frightful phantoms
filled his mind. With a final effort he
reac hed up and found he could get the
ends of one hand's fingers over the edge
of a board that answered for part of
the covering With the despairof a man
who faces a fearful death and knows
it, he let go the rope altogether , and
raising the other hand obtained a pre-

forth over the dark abyss an instant,
and as he felt that his hands were

A Story About a Horse.
Mz. Joseph Quigg and his horse Billy
serve a milk route in this city for the
Borden Condensed Milk company. Mr.
Quigg has been on the route over eleven
years, and Billy no more than three.
Many customers take milk twice or
three times a week. They are inter.
mingled with those who receive it
every day. While Mr. Quigg isserving
a customer Billy passes on to the resi-
dence of the next patron, crossing the
street whenever the schedule requires,
He seems to do this as a favor to his
partner. Not long ago Mr. Quigg lost
his reckoning on a customer in Mac-
dougal street. He ordered the horse to
stop at the door on Tuesday. The ani-
mal paid no attention to the order,
knowi ing that Wednesday was the regu-
lar day for serving the family. Mr
Quigg yanked Billy by the check rain,
and forced him to stop. The man of the
house came out and remarked that it
was not his #sual day for receiving his
supply, but as the measure was filled
and the milk was ready for delivery he
wouid take it, Sud Mr. Quigg might
pass him hy on the following morning
On Wednesday morning Billy mare I

friend Joseph followed along the side.
walk and ordered him on. The horse
refused to obey the order. tossing his
head in a manner that indicated that he
thought his friend was laboring under
a mistake. Thereupon Mr. Quigg
sprang into the wagon, and was forced
to severely lash Billy, Before the horse
started the head of the family inter
fered, and protested against the cruel
treatment of the dumb animal. Mr.
Quigg told him to attend to his own
business. The gentleman did so by
visiting the office of the company and
entering a complaint, The result was
that Billy got the better of his friend
Joseph, for Mr. Quigg was discharged
and the horse was retained in the serv-
fce of the company.
The matter was set right some weeks
afterward, and Mr. Quigg was again
employed. The two friends got along
quite smoothly for some time, when
the horse again got Joseph into
trouble. He was crossing Chariton
street, while Mr, Quigg was serving a
customer behind Lim. On nearing a
livery stable a wagon approached the
horse from an opposite direction. Its
occupant wanted Billy to pass him on
the left, so as to give him an op or-
tunity to drive into the stable. Bill
however, insisted on passing to the
right, as the law directs. A col-
lision occurred, and the livery stable
wagon was broken The owners
complained to the company. Mr.
Quigg's explanation, however, coupled
with Billy's well-known disposition,
convinced the superintendent that
Joseph was not to blame, and re-
tains his situation. In both cases the
friendship of the horse was nearly fatal
to the interests of the man. Since that
the route and themselves faithfully.
Mr. Quigg implicitly trusts to the
memory of Billy, and Joe and Bill may
be seen walking up Charlton street any
forenoon, Sundays excepted, as happy
as May flies. — New York Sun.

“The Derr Rebellion,”
So far as we have observed no one
has, in these “piping times of peace,’
recalled the fact that in 1842 there wasa
“rebeltion™ in the little State of Rhode
Island, which was ofialtogether greater
magnitude, and came nearer resulting
in bloodshed, than the recent trouble in
Maine, 1t was what was known as the
* Dorr Rebellion,” growing out of efforts
to substitute a constitution for the old
charter granted by Charles II. What
was called a ** People's Convention,” in
1841, famed a constitution, which was
submitted to the people and defeated
I'he action of the convention was by the
assembly deemed wholly irregular and
unlawful and no official notice was
taken of it But the friends of the con
stitution claimed that it was ratitied by
the people, and proceeded to elect
Thomas W. Dorr governor of the State
and organize a legislature

The governor called into the field about
3,000 men, and with a proper force pro-

influence over his followers began to

Diseased Milk,
Several medical men of prominence,
both here and in England, have lately
maintained that tuberenlosis is often
imparted to human suhjects by milk
from diseased cows, and Prof, Otto
Bollinger, of the Munich university, one
of the highest authorities in Germanr,
has sustained their position in a paper
recently read in that city. He said that
repeated experiments show that the
milk ot tuberculolis beasts hus a very
decided, contagious influence, and re-
produces the disease in various animals,
and that its noxious properties eanno
be expelled even by boiling, While the
tuberculosis of man is not completely
identical with that of the cow, it is ex-
actly similar; hence, there is constant
danger to any community where milk
is freely used The professor enjoins
upon farmers the recessity of taking the
strictest care of their stock, and upon
people generally the greatest care as to
the quality of milk tuey use. Rigid
measures should be adopted everywhere
to exclude distempered cattle from
dairies. This has been done in the as-
sociated dairy established recently in
Munich, and will have, it is believed,
excellent hygienic effect. All cows are
there kept under the closest medical
supervision, and at the slightest symp-
moved. It is es.imated that nearly ten
per cent of the cows kept in towns are
more or less diseased—a proportion
which must be much increased in New
York, where, in all probability, more
unwhiolesome milk is sold than in any

by the President, scoompanied by the papers
ealled for by both bodies in relation to the |
canal projeet : :
1 transmit herewith the report of the seore. |
tary of siate and sovompsoyiog papers in ree |
sponse to the resolution adopted by the Sen.
ate on the 11th of February last, requesting |
governinent and any loreign government |
sine Febroary, 1869, respecting a ship canal |
soross the isthmus between North Amerios
and Bouth Aserioa, together with copies of
any project of treslies respecting the same
which the department of state may have pro
posed or submitted since that date to any |
foreign power or its diplomatic represents |
tives.”
Ia further complisnce with the Kielution
of the Senats, 1 deem it proper to state brief
my opigion as to the policy of the United
States with respect othe construction of an
inthrocesnic canal by any routs seross the
American isthmus. The poliey of this eoun-
try is a canal under American control. The
United States onunot consent to the sur |
render of this control to sny Eoropean power
or 10 any combination of European powers.
it existing treatios between the United States
and other nations or il the rights of sover
signty or property ol other nations stand in
way of this policy-—s contingency whieh |
is not apprehended suitable steps should be |
taken by just and liberal negotiations to pro |
mote and establish the American policy on
this subject consistently with the rights of
the nations to be affected by it. The capital |
invested by corporations or citizens of other
countries in such au enterprise mast, in a
great degree, look lor protection to one or |
more of the great powers of the world, No |
‘European power can intervene for such pro-
tection without adopting measures on this |
continent whieh the Usited States would
deem wholly insdmissable. 1 the protection
of the United States is relied upon, the United
States must exercise such control as will
enable this country ww protect its national in.
terests and maintain the rights of those whose
private capital is embarked in the work,
An intercosunic canal serom the American
isthmus will essentislly o the geographi-
eal relations between the Atlantic and Pasific
coasts of the United Stes, and between the
United States and the rest of the world. It
will be the great ocean thoroughiare betwean
our Atlantic and our Pacific shores, and virta.
ally a part of the const line ol the United
States. Our merely commercial interest
in it is {Ewes than that of all other coun. |
trics, while its relations to our power and
prosperity as a nation, 10 our mesns of de

of paramount consideration to the people of
the United States. No other greal power |
would, under similar circumstances, fall to
assert a rightiul control over a work so closely |
and vitally affecting its interest and weltare
Without urging further the grounds of my
opinion, | Pepent in conclusion, that it is the
