aft ets ce gu rl The Epldemioc of Urime, Whence comes this epidemio of sul- sides and murders? HKecent discussions have named several causes, Hon, 0. H. Reeve, of Indiana, charges it to infl- del teachings—holding that hopeless: ness of a future state oripples fortitude lor bearing life's ills, Another declares suffering from the universal business depression the cause, A third writer attributes it to increasing insanity, a hystcian thinks much of the tendency s inherited, while temperance advocates lay the responsibility upon strong drink. Free-thinkers have committed suicide, but so have orthodox churchmen, Fi- nancial straits have beset many, but the wealthy have also taken their life. Insanity and dissipation have pre- seded suicides and family murders, One feature common to almost every such crime challenges attention, Well nigh every report of suicide and family murder mentions the perpetrator as having * for some time been subject to melancholy.” Whence comes this ? All recognized medical authorities tell us that the fire which consumes the brain is always kindled by derangements of digestion ; that digestion is impos- sible withont pure blood, and pure blood is never known when the liver and kidneys are out of order, Under such streumstances, a preventive should be sought, and for this Warner's safe oure ls soversign—a fact conceded by the sspecially commended by the celebrated Dr. Dio Lewis.—Rochester Democrat. SCIENTIFIC. — of ordnance for the national service, A factory proof atthe Royal Arsenal. It second—a result n pared with two guns of a similar weight which are at present in the service. which fires a shell of just half the weight—viz., 180 pounds—with a ve- loeity of 950 feet, and the other is the 100-pounder gun of 6.6 caliver, whieh, with its light shot of 100 pounds, man ages to reach a velocity of 1,390 feet per second. The trial weapon seems in uo way impaired by the strain to which it has been subjected, In a paper read before the Academy of Medicine, Panis, M. Lays states that the brain is subject to certain changes in position, dependent upon the attitude of the body. Thus, if a man is mn the dorsal decubitus, or lies upon his side or stands upon his bead, the brain un- gravity ; the movements take utes in returning to its first position. From these anatomical data, M. Luys deduces some interesting and practical conclusions, and explains by them the example, which feeble persons experi jzontal position. He suggests whether movements, and urges the value of giv- horizontal position at night, The cause of the movement of glaciers is still to some extent a disputed ques- tion, It was formerly claimed Ly some tation, like any similar snbstance ; but be drawn out, but always breaks when pulled apart. over, but is broken np into separate fragments, which reunite again on reaching a more level part of the valley. cer is due to the principle of regelation, the upper part of the glacier forces it broken apart and pressed together again, thus adapting itself fo all the windings and inequalities of the valley in which it flows. A steel tempering process practiced by M, P. Gabriel is said to sive very desirable and satisfactory results, Cy- anide of potassium is dissolved and red heated in a metallic or earthern cruci- ble, and the pieces of steel are then immersed in the liquid until they are red and afterwards plunged into cold walter. Dr. Hamberg, » Swedish chemist, agrees with Dr. Schloesing that marine water contains neutral carbonates, bi- carbonates and slight traces of free car- bonie acid, and that temperature and atmospheric pressure have a complex influence on both the uncombined gas and that which is united to bases, The oft question, whether plants in are ivjurious to the health of its occupants, has recently been in discussion by an association of Phistuncina in Paris, whose conclusion 9 that the presence of plants is Lene- ficial, particularly to persons suffering from pulmonary consumption, The ozone bas a good effect.
