KttSTIFIb
The Electric Light Dr. Wilde, of the
Academy of Sciences ot sc. retera
borgb, and Director of tbe Central
Itiyaical Observatory, baa recently
made a report to toe Academy apou
tbe modetif producing the electric lignt
proposed by M. Ladiguin, of that city,
and mentioned on page 227 of the Sci
entific America:, present volume.
Since the discovery of tbe voltaic arr
in 1821 by Davy, many attempts bave
been made to utilize it practically for il
lumination. But in spite of toe reguU
tois devised for tbe parpose, it still re
mains variable and inconstant : being
too intense, nsed at a single point, it is
yet incapable of division. Since the
improved, magnetic-electro machines
have reduced tlie cost f the electric
lignt to only one third tbat ot coal gad.
these efforts to utilize it hare redou
bled. Aud. as a result. M. Ladiguin
has made an invention which, in a very
simple way, resolves both problems,
rendering the light steady, and at tbe
same time capable of division. It has
long been known that the electric ligbi
proper comes from tbe intensely heated
carbons which tbe current traversea
the resistance ot the air between them
developing this beat. So the resistance
of a platinum wire placed in circuit
causes it to tie highly heated : but tbe
light thus obtained, though constant
aud entirely controllable, is too feeble
for practical use. M. Iadiguin has
conceived the idea of replacing the pla-
nuum wire in this expel iment witu a
thin rod of gas carbju. and with com
plete success. Carbon possesses, even
at the same temperature, a much
greater light-radiating power than pla
tinum ; its x-aloritic capacity is less than
oue half that of platinum ; it is more
ever, a sufficiently gttod conductor of
heat ; so that the same quantity of hear
elevates tbe temperature of a small rod
of carbon to nearly double that of a
wire of platinum of the same size.
Again, the resistance of the carbon em
ployed is t'iO times greater than that of
platiuuui ; hence it follows that a rod
of carbon may lie fifteen times as thick
as a wire of platinum the same length,
and yet be healed by the same current
to the same degree. Finally, the car-!
bon may be heated to the most intense
whiteness without tbe danger of fusion,
to which Dlatinuui is liable. These are
some of tbe advantages of carbou ; its
only disadvantage is that beated in air
it burns, and so gradually wastes. But
M. Ladiguin has happily obviated tuis
difficulty by enclosing the rod of car
bou in a glass cylinder containing no
oxygen and hermetically sealed. Dr.
Wilde asks, in conclusion, that the
Academy recognize the fact that M. La
diirmn has resolved the grand problem
of dividing and rendering steady tbe
electric light, in the simplest possible
manner, and that they awatd him, iu
consequence, tbe Loiuonossow prize,
The Cote Manaanese-Ualranic Cell.
Ihe well-knowu Lclanclies ceil is
now in use for many purposes, giving

however, is much decreased by the rev
siaoiuce of the tar covering the top of

cell into oxide: the latter oxide closes
the pores of the cell. (ergius Kern's

decomposes the manganese oxide.
Ihe dried cylinders are placed in
glass jars containing concentrated so
lutiou of aiumouium chloride, and sur
rounded with zinc plates carved in the
usual manner. Hy this arrangement
tbe use of porous cells is avoided, and
a battery ot such elements acts more
constantly : besides this, tue construc

lieved that moths generate iu clothes

shut up in daik, close places; and
therefore, in the spring, when m tb
millers are plenty, therlothing is taken

Dies about the house, does not eat i
destroy woolens of any kiud, but seeks
opportunity to lay its eggs in woolen
nicies, upon which nature dictates
that her young must subsist. These
eggs produce little caterpillars, which
assume ihe pupa state, out of which
comes the winged insect. Thus we see
if we prevent the moth millers from
having access to th articles we desire
to preserve, they can uot become moth
eaten. For instance, if you do np any
article that is free from moths in a
paper, cotlon or linen bag, and pin it
up tightly, or tie tlie month of it closely,
uo winged moth can enter to deposit
its eggs, aud thus iu contents must lie
secure from depredations. Yet these
winged mites are possessed of con
siderable cunning, or rather instinct,
which makes them search patiently and
carefully for pioper places to feed their
young. Simply puttlug woolen articles
into ugui a rawer, or covering tueiu
wilb paper, &.C-, will not suffice, for the
least bit of a crevice will admit them.
Nature has also imnlauted an iustiuct
to seek uumolested places w hereiu to
lay their eggs: therefore, if yon shake
any woolen articles or furs occasion
ally, the moths will avoid l hem. 1 has,
should any articles of clothing become
infested with them, frequent brushing
and beating will drive them away ; and
if tbey can he dipped into hot water, or
field over ttie smoke ot a nre. the young
larvae will be destroyed. If caipe s are
infested with them, take bt.ilmg hot
atom water and dip cloths into it, and
saturate the carpets with it. Hot
alum water is very destructive to all
insect life. Cockroaches, water bags,
bed bugs, and the like, can all be ex
terminated by iu nse. Woolen articles
and furs can be also kept from moths
by dusting them over with red pepper
or putting camphor gum among them.

Wutrk the Children $ Teeth. Children
might be spared a great deal of pain, if
their teeth were properly cared lor by
the mother, and taken in hand early by
a good dentist. As soon as they begiu
to do service, tbey bave a right to care,
and in spite of baby's protest, they
should be cleansed with a soft towel
every day. We are told that there is
already a demand for brushes for
babies teeth, and tbat the demand is
likely to be met soon. When tbe child
is old enough, be should be taught the
imperative necessity ot cleanliness in
this particular, as in every other. let
the dentist examine tbe teeth often,
and tlie child will not have to sutler the
torture that comes of allowing decay to
extend to the sensitive parts of the
tooth. It is to ! hoped that the greater
watchfulness of the mothers, and the
increasing attention paid to diet, and
the more general nse of grains aud
fruit will secure to the next generation
more durable teeth thau have been tbe
inheritance of this.
A Carjet-Stretclier. A rery simple
and useful carpet stretcher is matte by
fastening a narrow piece of wood to a

A hoie is bored in tbe piece of wood
which is shaped like the bead of a bay
rake rather smaller than the handle.
The end of the handle is whittled down
to tit the hole, so that it cannot be
forced through, and it is then wedged
tightly in Its place. A few pieces ot
wire shingle nails, filed or ground to a
sharp point, are then inserted in the
head of the stretcher, projecting so far
from the edge that tbey may take hold
of the carpet, but no more. These
s ion Id be bled or ground smooth, as
any sharp or rough corners will cut or
bieak the carpet threads. The front of

It is one of the worst misfnrtansa of
women that falsehood is not aa a rnUi
considered a dishonor among them. To
call a man a liar is like calling him a
coward an offence to tlie very sonl
and heart of his manhood, the Very in
tegrity of his being. To call a woman
deceitful, a romancer, a falsifier, ia not
to honor her certainly, but not to dis
honor her a it would dishonor her
husband or her brother. She is priv
ileged to wear two faces under one
hood, because nothing better is ex
pected Irom her ; and society condones
tier sin as tbe sin of weaknesa which
she is expected to commit, iust aa von

among your acquaintances. He seems
to have some magical attachment for
that small space of this rolling ball upon
which he chances to plant bis form. He
linger down town, he linger up town ;
be takes possession of church vestibnles;
of street corners. Be it rain or shine,
dew or hail, he leans against a wall with
both hands thrust Into his pockets, hat
tilted over his nose (just like the present
style for young ladies), and out-lingers
the most lingering. He sometimes ap
pears in tbe form of a youth in good
society, and woe to tbe poor girl who Is
so unfortunate as to secure au occasional
visit. It ends in a visiutiou scarcely to
be endured.
Ten o'clock comes, still he lingers,
notwithsunding sundry coughs ou the

warning drop of her shoe by mater

shuts the piano, arranges the furniture,
and then stands waiting, "not among

door. At leugtb, after a few more such
gentle uudeuioustrative hints, the youth
arises slowly. Young lady's spirits rise
with tlie volubility of ether. Mie talks
cheerfully, and the youth, Uius encour

while tlie young lady pulls the curl out
of the poo-lie iriuge on ber forehead,

WIM Flowers.
As numbers of our citizens are hieing
to the woods and fields for flowers.
now that the temperature is mild, and
out-of-door sport is enjoyable, we will
let Mr. Wilson rlagg tell them where
to look for tlie finest wild dowers. He
says :
Wild planU of rare beauty abound in
a recent clearing, especially iu a tract
from which a growth of bard wood ha
been felled, If afterwards the sou has
remained undisturbed. Iu the deep
woods tbe darkness will not permit any
sort of undergrowth except a lew plant
of peculiar habit and constitution. But
after the removal of the wood, all kinds
of indigenous plants w hose seeds have
been waited there by the wiuds or car
ried there by the birds, will revel in the
clearing, until they ure choked by a new-
growth of trees and shrubs. Strawber
ries aud several species of brambles
spring up there as if by magic, aud
cover tbe stumps of the tree with their
vines and their racemes of black ami
scarlet fruit ; aud hundreds of beam if u
flowering plants astonish us by their
preseuce, as ir they were a new crea
tion. We must look to these clearings,
aud to those tracts in which the trees
have been destroyed by fire, more than
to any others, lor the exact method of
nature. Among the very first plant
which would appear alter the burning,
beside the lila-.-eoua plants whose bulb
lie too deep iu the soil to be destroyed.
are those with downy seeds, which are
immediately planted there by the wind
One very conspicuous aud beautiful
plant, tbe Spiked Willow Herb, is so
abundant iu any tract that has been
burned, the next year after the confla
gration, that iu the West and tbe British
provinces it has gained the uame ot
Fireweed.
But the paradise of the young botanist
i a glade, or opeu space lu a wood,
usually a level betweeu two rocky
eminences, or a little alluvial meadow-
pervaded by a small stream, open to the
sun, aud protected at the same time
from the winds bv surrounding hills
and woods, it is surprising bow soon
the flowery tenants of these glades will
vanish after tbe removal of this bulwark
of trees. But with this protection, the
loveliest flow ers will cluster there, like
the singing birds around a cottage ami
its enclosures in the w ilderness. Here
they find a genial soil aud a natural
conservatory, and abide there until
some accident destroy them. Nature
selects these places for ber favorite
garden plots.
