"Beyond all comparison, the most
brilliant and startling conquest which the
human mind has yet Made over the do
main of nature, consists of that group of
discoveries which is described by the
term Spectrum Analysis. It provokes
amazement in every aspect. In the first
place, the developments have been made
with a rapidity that is almost astounding;
the whole thing has been donee in ten
years. Dr. Wollaston discovered, in the
year 1802, that by looking caretully at the
solar spectrum with a spy-glass, dark
lines could be seen crossing it. In 1815,
Fraunhofer, a German optician, rediscov
ered and made s map of several hundreds
of them, and from that time they were
called, after him, Fraunhofer's lines. But
' few supposed that there was the slightest
possible significance in them; they were
regarded as mere optical curiosities, hay
ing no higher use than to serve as land
tmarks for measuring the spaces of the
colored stiectrum. But, in 1859, the two
German chemists, Ktrchoff and Bansen,
made' the capital discovery that each
chemical element, when burning in a
flame, gave-out a light that had its pe
culiar marks or lines, so that these lines
could become a means, of detecting the
element. A. totally new mode of chemi
cal analysis was thus hit upon, far more
. delicate than anything hitherto known,
and a method, moreover, which was ca
pable of becoming a revelator of the con
stitution, of the univeree. Chemistry, at
a single stroke, was fused with astrono
my, and the universal agent of light be
came the powerful servant of the labora
tory.
"At the very first step, several new
elements were discovered, the existence
43f which had never before been sus
pected. -.Examining with the spectrum
the ash of some mineral waters, Prof.
Bunsen thought he taw some lines which
' did • not belong to the substances already
known. He then boiled down forty-four
...-
... - tons of Durkheim spring water, and got
' a couple of hundred grains of residue,
from which be extracted two new metals,
. ;
Caesium and Rubidium, which resemble
1 potassium. This Rubidium has since been
I ; found in the ash of oak, of beet-root, of
• tobacco, coffee, tea and cocoa.
"The spectrum analysis, however, is
not a mere instrument of original chem
ical research; it has a 'practical applica
bility. The 'Bessemer process,' as it is
1 called, is a method of converting cast
. iron directly into steel. Cast iron con
l.tains more carbon than steel, and it - di
converted into steel by burning this car
, bon out of the molten white-hot mass by
1 a blast of atmospheric air. In this opera
.' ; tion five tons of cast iron are converted
; in twenty minutes into five tons of,cast
~ i steel. But the success of the process de.
pends upon being able to stop it just at
I the right time. If continued ten seconds
tco long, or stopped ten seconds too
I quickly, the batch is spoiled. The flame,
i of course, is an index of the advance of
the combustion, and, by watching it with
i the spectroscope, the appearance and dis- ,
‘
• 1 appearance of the lines indicate the exact i
, moment at which the operation is to be 1
, I-arsted. I
- !'The spectroscope promises also to be- I
: i come a very valuable instrument in med
ico-legal investigations into the evidences
1 -of criminality. Blood stains may be de
- ; tected by it with extreme delicacy. Mr.
Sorby has shown that the one thousandth
.l S
'part of a grain of the red.coloring matter
r of fiblood stain may be detected with the
,
greatest certainty.
• i "But it is in its celestial applications 1
that the spectroscope has performed its
• - -1 most wonderful achievements. The con
-
% .:1 stitution of the sun, for example,
which,
i ten years ago, was smatter of the purest
I conjecture, is now a matter of definite I
and positive knowledge. We know what
• i it is composed of—its chemical constitu
'' ; ents—not as completely, but with the
... , , same certainty, as we know the chemical
t . i constitution of the earth. Sixteen of the'
elements with which we are familiar upon
iearth, are proved also to exist in the at
mosphere of the sun. They are the fol.
,' lowing; Sodium, calcium, barium, mag.
; nesium, iron, chromium, nickel, copper,
; zinc, 'strontium, cadmium, cobalt, hydro
: gen, manganese, aluminum, titanium.
~r "The stars have also been subjected to
1 spcctrosropic study with equal success.
I They are shown to, resemble our sun,
their light coming from hot white matter
in their atmospheres. About eighty
lines in the spectrum of the light from
-: I Alietraran have been mapped, and it has
been ascertained that the atmosphere of
:-- •,';'l this star contains - sodium, magnesium,
hydrogen. bismuth,
• • tellurium, antimony
... ;. and mercury. Sirius contains sodium,
magnesium, iron and hydrogen.'• Abou
sixty other stars have been examined anj
--' . all seem to have some chemical elemen
i known on earth." ,
. . I • Poisoned by a My.
We regret to learn that Captain Green,
Deputy Inspector of Boilers and Assist
ant Engineer of the Fird Department, is
still confined to his room with a very ball
arm. About a fortnight since he was on
the cars going to Whitehall, when he
was bitten on his right hand, between the
thumb and index finger, by an insect
which entered the carriage, and be soon
experienced considerable pain, which
gradually increased. He showed his hand
to a druggist; who told him that - the pain
was probably caused by a mosquito bite,
and painted the wound with iodine. It in
creased to such an extent, however, that
the Captain consulted a physician, who,
too, believing it to be an ordinary mos
quito bite, treated it according
ly. r The arm and hand meanwhile
swelled to such an alarming extent that
it was considered judicious to take fur
ther advise. Dr. Bontecou was con
sulted, and is of the opinion that the
wound has been caused by , the bite'of a
common house-fly, which had been feed.
ing on carrion, and had communicated
the poison. The pain and swelling con•
tinuEd to increase, and erysipelas set in.
On Saturday Dr. Aiken (who is attend
ing Dr. Boutecou's patients during the
latter's temporary absence), in order to
relieve the pressure occasioned by the
extraordinary enlargement, scarified the
.arm of Captain Green from the elbow to
the wrist in four, different places. The
Captain has been very near losing the
use of his limb. Yesterday, however, he
felt-much relieved, and is pronounced out
of Elanger. It will probably be several
days before he can leave his room, and it
is 'eared that it will be a long time before
be will recover hill use of his arm•'—Trot/

The French Emperor's Change of Policy.
-The Paris correspondent of the London
TOnes writes :
"It is now felt that we are going
through a peaceful but effective • revolu
tion, and that the Imperial system is deci
dedly vanishing away from the eyes of
men. The true question, anxiously ae•
bated everywhere, and which is present
in every good citizen's mind, is whether
it be possible for the same sovereign to go
through this great change and to appear,
after so iinany years of uncontrolled pow
er, in the new lieht of a Constitutional
King. lonia XVI, failed to do it, and,
to be sure, it would have been better, if
no nip of that unfortunate heir of so
many misdeeds could have lasted its natu
ral time and bridged over the abyss which
separates old France from the new. Na
poleon I. failed, also, in this work of
transformation, and his additional act was
brought to an untimely end by his com
plete defeat before he trial could be fairly
made whether ranee would accept or
not its despotic ruler in the character of
the inoffensive guardian of public freedom.
"This time' we have the comfortable
assurance, at least, that the trial will not
be disturbed by external troubles, and
the experiment will be made as fairly as
is permitted by the uncertainty of human
events. The difficulties of this whole
some work are greater than one who is
not hilly acquainted with our national
prejudices and habits of mind, could be
lieve. Reasonable men are ready to ac
cept, and even to assist; if they can, in
the transformation of the Empire into a
Liberal Government; bat many French
men—and not Otly leaders of parties, but
large masses of otir ;Torking population
—consider this imminent charier only
as
a favorable occasion to surprise and over
power their foe; 'and they now look on
the Empire turning toward liberty as
eagerly as they would watch a hostile
army making a difficult movement, and
exposing itself by a flank mar Ch.. Such
is the feeling of our great towns, and
there is no doubt that Paris, if called on
now to replace the four Deputies who
have been elected to sit for the Depart
ments, would seek and elect four 'ir
reconcilables' more fiery, if possible, and
more useful than its first selection."
Eating Fruit
Dr. Snow, of Providence, a well
known collector of vital statistics, who
has given much attention to tke causes of
death, in a note to the Providence Jour.
nal, giving the number of deaths in that
city in the month of July, says:
"We are treated at this season with the
usual amount of cautions in the newspa
pers against the use of fruits and vegeta
bles, and are called upon to believe that
the increase of mortality which always
occurs during the hot weather is almost
wholly caused by eating them. It is,
quite likely that eating unripe and wilted
nuit and vegetables causes disturbances
in the stomach and sickness; but it la of
a temporary character, and would gener
ally cure itself if no other cause was
present. It is well to use caution in the
selection of fruit and vegetables, avoid
ing those that are wilted and decayed,
but it is not well tobe unnecessarily
troubled and frightened about them, and
it is still worse to avoid them altogether.
"The slightest examination of the causes
of death given, shows that fruit and veg
etables had ahnost no influence whatever
in the mortality reported from summer
complaints.:/ Nearly all the decedents
from these-causes were very young chil
dren who do not eat fruit and vegetables
at all. All but five of the decedents from
summer complaints, in July, were
under two years of age, and only two of
he whole number were over four years of
ge. •
"In certain seasons, when epidemic
cholera may be nresent, and when the
systems of !, may be prepared
for disease laisoned air they
breathe, it tr )ssible that wilted
fruit and yr Ly be the exciting
causes of ft s; but even then the
air that is breathed is more truly the cause
of death than the food that is eaten. In
ordinary . seasons, when no epidemic is
present, impure air causes alho usand fold
more mortality than fruit and vegetables.
In fact, it is probable that total abstinence
from fruit and vegetables by the whhle
community would produce more fatal
sickness than the moat unlimited indul:
gence in them. The safest rule is, how•
ever, temperance in all things." •
"Nasny's Domestic Sacrifice.
I hey made other sacrifices. When
torn from my peaceful home to file our
friends uv the South, I bed a wile wich
I luved. Life wuz a peeceful streeme:
and we floated calmly along. She took
in washin and I talked politics at a neigh
borin arocery, investin the proceeds uv
her labor in the sustenance afforded at the
bar. When I returned wat met me?. The
killin uv men outrite wuz not the most
heart-rendin incidents uv that fratritidle
struggle. It wuz.the sevrin uv domestic
ties—the tearin down uv domestic altars,
• and the separatin uv families. When I
returned I wuz coldly met. Looizer Jane
wuz washin as yoosual, only harder than
ever, and I notist the children lied new
frocks and shoes. Tae lust afternoon I
wuz at home I askt her in my old famil
yer way lur a dollar and a half, ez I wan
tid to go dowa the street.
"That's playedl" she remarkt.
"Heyn't you got it?" I askt,
"I hay," she replied, "and I propose
'to keep it. I hay diskivered suthin since
yoove bin gone. I hey found it's easy
enuff to support myself and the children,
washin at a dollar a dozen, but add to
that a hulkin man with a nose like yoors,
and it's harder than I keer. This house
is mine—goo kin vacate." -
And she calmly rung out:a shirt ez tho

I left her. A feendish Ablishnist had
put this idea into her head and she lied
actid onto it. Since that time I bey wen

Ablishnism owes me the likker I ought

BItIOUT PROSPECT. -A certain justice
was called to the jail to liberate a worthy
debtor, by receiving his oath that he was
not worth twenty dollars.
"Weil. Johnny," said theustice, "can
you swear that yu are not w or t h twenty
dollars, and that you never wilt be!"
"Why," answered the other, rather
chagrined at the question, "I cau swear
that I am not worth that at present."
"Well, well," returned the justice, "I
can swear to the rest; . so go along,
Johnny." And the man was discharged.

becomes good: the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow In flesh; the
diseased matter ripens into the lungs, and the
. patient outgrows
curease and gets well. This
is the only way to consumption.
-To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia. owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The.Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morb matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by aneasy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it off. and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to'heal.
T do this, the neawesd 'ionic and Mandrake
Pills must sotreely used to cleanse the atomach
and liver, that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food w.il make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions. relax the .suet s of the
bladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
soon relieved; the stools will show what the
Pills can do,• nothing has ever been invented ek
cept calomel (a deadly po'son Wpich Is very dan
gerous to use umeas with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of tffribbst prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schuler% Seaweed Tonle is a gentle stimulant
and alterative. and the alkali In the Seaweed,
which this preparation Is made of, assists the
stomach to tnrow unt the gastric juice to dissolve
the foodivith the Pannonia Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the atomach.
The great reason why physiclaue do not cure
Consumption is, they try to do too much. • they
give medicine to stop tho cough, to, stop chills,to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers. lock
ing up the secret.ons, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, In his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. - Re•
move the cause and trey will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint. Dyrpepsia, catarrh,
Canker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and
stomach are made healthy,
If a person has consumption, of course the
nags in some way are diseased, eltner tubercles,
abcesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion,
or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast
decaying. In such cases what must be done? It
Is not only the lungs stub are wasting, but it is
tbe Whole body. The stomach and liver have lost

easily and make good blood; then the patient rw

gins to grow, theungs cumfflence to heal up,
and the patient gets &thy and well. This bane
only way to cure Consumption.
When there is r o lung disease and only Lbter

Tonle and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Manarake Pills
freely in sot uiiUous complaints, as arty are ver
