Tu prcyont fraud of this kind is the ob ject t f the new device. When tho man is s'undiug perfectly tret the backs of tbe legs nt the knees press agaiust elec tric contacts, causing two bill to ling; while a third bell is similarly rung by pressure of tho head. Fur a corect mea- siitemeut the three bells should ring sim ultaneously. Tbe ringing ceases when there is tbo least bending. When a drop of nitric acid is allow ed to remain a few moments upon the surface of a piece of metal filed until bright and clean, n pale nsby-gray spot is lelt if the metal is wrouqbt iron, a browi.ish black if stoil, a deep black if iron. Tbe carbon present in various proportions produces the differences in color. This is, therefore, coLsidered a sure test. The curious phenomenon of phos phorescent ice, observed iu tbe Arctic regions, has b.-en described by Mr. J Allen. Whenever tLe obseiver saw a lump of ice shattered at night by tho vessel carrying him. he perceived a pecu liar light trnittcd bylhelrozeu fragments. Tho light is very like that produced by breaking a piece of sugar iu the dark. Mr. E. E. Fish hes noticed that many birds seem to possess powers of ventrilo quism. From a distance of n few feet, tbe cuckoo makes itsvoico appear to come from a furling away; singing on n low branch, the thrush seerni In be in the tree-top; the vesper sparrow and the field sparrow nre apparently iu a distant field, although really on a neighboring fence, The robin and the cut-bird ore endowed with a similar power; and the oven-bird, singiig ut distance, nlmoit causes tbe listener to believe it to bs within reach by its sharp, ringing notes. Tbe nncients had theories to account fcr earthquakes--and veiy curious tbey become iu the light of modern investiga tion. Aiittiagoras, the llbodiau, saw in, them a sort of cot m!c flatulence winds which had strayed into caverns having no outlets. Aristotle believed them to be due to the infilteration of water thro' a rocky sea-bottom, producing vopors. Pliny ascribed them to the pressure of air confined iu deep raves, reacting a gainst the collapse of overflying rock- strata; while St. Thomas, of Aepiinas, most ingeniously explained that earth quakes may arise Irom the struggles of deluuct misbelievers trying to escape from a pit of torment.

A member of Congress from New York referriug to tbis fact, remarked that it a'uoivtd conclusively that New York aud Pennsyliauia were the most religiou states in the Union. TheU. S. Treasury does not regard it iu that light, in his opiuion it oidj showed that those twi states bad doue the most stealing. Tne mom y which comes in from conscious stricken people is cu account of fraud on tbe customs, frauds under the old iu come tax law, or ou the revenue. Tbi income tax having been abolished som years ago, contributions ou its account are very ftw now. Ministers o.f tbe gos pel nro Tery frequently tbe medium through which the government is refund ed. While administering spirilrwl con solation, the confession of defrauding tbo government is made.nud a restitution follows. The clergy transmit the money without mentioning names. The largest amount ever received as one contribution was SlG.000 iu U. 8. 7 30 notes. Tbis contribution was announced in tbe news papers. Numerous and ingenious at tempts were made to get this money out of the Treasury. One man claimed that bis father made tho contribution, and that he was crazy. Other efforts were made. A soareh niado of the Treasury books showed n blank of $15 000, which it was thought corresponded to the con tribution made. The money was hurried ly theu covered iuto the Treasury. The contributor of it had carelully cutout tho numbers of the notes so as to make it im possible to discover from the buoks who bad sent them. The Christmas holidays have beeu ob served heri very quietly. The pleasant weather bos attracted a large number out of doors and the streets sre crowded with promennders.

At that time the fault-finding ws confined chiefly le tbo Speaker's own parly, and Hist it the case generally, but Mr. Keifer has mads all the Democrats fighting mad ai.well as tome of the Republican!. Ono noticeable feature of tho complaint Is that tbey all credit Pennsylvania with hav ing obtained the lion's share,, or ts one dis piointcd Congressman put it, "grabbed for everything in sight." It is truo that the Keystone State baa been pretty well "recog nized," having been given seven chairman ships betides representation on nearly every !liiinrtai!t Committee ; but this was to be exiK-cled after llio delegation Irom the State, under the leadership nf Senator Cameron, contributed so much to Hie success of Mr. Klefcr. Pennsylvania undoubtedly occu pies a commanding position in this Congress, and It she does not stamp her policy iion its legislation the fault will rest with her own Representatives. There is considerable talk about tbo Speaker's apparent neglect to give Mr. Ksssuii proper recognition, ho hav ing been given nn chairmanship butnsdgn- ed to second place on two Important Com millees. Those who a;."umo to know, how ever, say that Mr. Knsson was nr-t overlook ed, aud that this fact will be clearly innnl fest soon after tbo recess when two linpor tant very important special Committees nre to be created and Mr. Kasson placet) at the head of the more inipoitaut of Hie two, These prnioscd Committees, it Is said will attract a greater degreo of public attention than any of the regular Committees, and will be charged with matters of highest im portance. Just what it is all about wo ore not, "for prudential reasons," preinitled to know at present j but everybody Is expected to recognize the great consequence of tiie matter when the resolution creatine the Committees is ofl'ercd.

Tho new British Minister has had a taste nf our Washington "School for Scandal' and it may as well be niktiowlediied that wo have a school ofllnit inscription equally us venomous as the eiielo in which Sir Teler Teazle moved.

Later the report euuio that it was not nno of his wives but a lovely daughter who was to do the honors; and then the dowagers held a caucus and at tempted la figure out the social status of a bachelor's daughter. Finally after a good deal of tumor and no small degree of ogitu tion, the real facts are brought to light aud it turns out that Mr. West was married years ago to a very estimable latly who lias slncadied leaving him a legacy of two chil dren. Que of these, now a charming young lady, is to preside over his hmi&ehold here, She was presented at Court before leaving England, and this fact alone should be an cstople to such shameful rumors eo.ieeriitng her parentage as have been current, fcr it is known that Europe is not now livinc under the social code that prevailed ill the days of the Stuarts and Tudors. "I must go ladies," said Sir Peter, "but I leave iny character behind me ;" and It is doubtful if the cut ting irony of his tone was any protection against the professional gossip mongers. Certainly it would not have been in this lo cality.
