A lifetime might be spent in in

tbe coll has long beeu a celebrated
problem for tue matheinaticiau,
whilst the changes which tho honey
uudorgoes, offer nt toast an equal in
terest to tho chemists. Kvuy one
knows what honey fresh from the
comb is like. It ia a dear yellow
syrup, without a trace of solid sugar
io it. Upou straining, however, it
gradually rosumna a crystallite ap
pearance i it oaudioa as tho saying is
and ultimately boc tines a solid lump
of sugar. It has not boon suspect

What is Tin War 7
It doos not appear to be genorally
known tbat tbe article so commonly
tisod for household nleusila, for
cans, for roofing, etc., called "tin,"
really contains very little tin, sel
dom more than one part in forty or
fifty. Tin, pure, ia a silvery white
metal, and is the lightostand eatiest
melted of all tbe metals in common
use it boing about five eighth as
heavy as lead,, aud require only
about two-thirds tbe best to melt it
I'ure tin is called "block-tin," bnt it
is rarely used pure, the utensils
said to be made of block tin. being
alloys with otber metals. Our com
mon tin ware is really tin pUto a
thin sheet of iron, com tea witb a
fllui of tin. Dales of iron of tbe
proper size snd tbiokooss are sour
ed witb sand and acid until perfectly,
clean, and then dipped several times
in melted tin i a coating of tin of
variable thickness adheres to tbe
tbe iron. Tbe object o( coatiug iron
witb tin in this manner is to protect
tbe iron from rusting. Tin, when
exposed to air, does not rust or even
tarnish, while iron readily does co,
but tbe thin coating of tin com

Young persons are ofton found
whose pulse is below sixtv sn.l nu
have boon many instances of polsos
habitually reaching 100, or not ox
coodiug forty, without apparent dis
easo. Sex, especially in a.lnlta in
dooncoa the pulses, which in women
is from tu to fourteen beats to the
minnte more rapid than in men of
tho same sge. Muscnlar exertion,
oven position, materially offocts Ibo
pulso, ts averago frequency in
healthy mon of twenty-sovun is, when
standing, bighty-one j whon totting,
seventy-one i whon lying, sixty-six,
per minute in women of tho samo
age in tbo eaiuo positions, ninty oue,
eighty-four and vjuty-niue. In
sleep the pulso is in general consid
