Palestine.
The Jordan Valley is a waste, on both
sides of the river. It is one of the
finest tropical countries in the world.
It has numerous fountains and ways
for irrigation. All the waters of the
Jordan may may be used for purposes
of Irrigation, so great is the fall ; and
the valley is capable of sustaining five
millions of souls in comfort, and even
in luxury. There are, perhaps, two hun
dred and fifty thousand in all Palestine.
Some of the ancient works of this
country still remain, because of their
Cyclopean architecture and substantial
character. Such are Solomon's pool
and the aqueducts which might easily
be repaired, and at small cost compara
tively. Some of the tombs which re
main were constructed at enormous
cost.
Tbey were the works of princely
treasures Such are the tombs of the
Judges, fifty-five minutes walk north of
Jerusalem; the tombs of the Kings
(probably the tomb ol Queen Helena and
her family, converted to Judeaism about
A. I. 46), thirty-five minutes walk
north of Jerusalem, and the touiba of
the I'ropnets, so called, on the south
west side of Mount Olivet, about half
way up the side of the mount.
The tombs of the Judges are on the
south side of a road, or valley, whose
waters flow to the Mediterranean, and
Ihey face Nobi Saniwell and Kama to
the north, where the Judges ot Israel
lived, and judged Israel. They do not
proierly belong to Jerusalem. The
tombs are evidently older than the tombs
of the Kings, and the style of the struc
ture is different. I have visited between
twenty and thirty of thete tombs on the
Mediterranean side of the mountain
rane, but there is one which, on ac
count of its elaborate structure and rich
sculpture, is called "The Tomb of
Judges.,' It has rooms leading into
rooms, and stairways leading to rooms
below and under the rooms just entered
by low, narrow passages, and in the sides
of these rooms are crypts, or niches, for
the reception of the dead, and places for
the illuminating lamps and smoke on
the walls in ail, as I counted sixty-one
resting places for the illustrious dead
of whom not a bone nor a particle of dust
remains. Some of these tombs have
swinging doors cut out of the rock, and
forming a part of it, and others have
rolling stones, with grooves, In which
the stones, cheese-shaped, may be rolled
from side to side, while by its own
weight on the declining plane it is re
stored to its place at the mouth of the
sepulcher. There have been various
eras of Palestine civilization that of
the l'henicians, of the Jews, of the
Romans of the Saracens, and of the
Crusaders; and of each era some monu
ments remain to this day, but for hun
dreds of years, since the rule of the
Turk, there has been no improvement,
but on the contrary, constant deteriora
tion. The earth is cursed for man's
sake. The state of the country follows
that of the vople and depends upon it.
The "upjier story" of the intellectual
house, seems to be wanting.
Lake Furtno.
A great engineering work, which was
begun by Julius Ca;sar, and continued
by the Kmperors Claudius, Trajsn, and
Hadrian, and finally abandoned as a
hopeless task, lias been successfully ac
complished by Trince Torlonia of Rome.
The Lake Fuciuo is situated in the
Province of Aquila, fifty-three miles
east of Rome, and ninety-six miles north
of Naples, and, before its draining, cov
ered the greater part of a vast table
land one of the largest in the central
part ot the Apennines, and comprising
37,050 acres at low water, but after
heavyrains often overflowing 100,000
acres. Being situated 2.000 feet above
the level of the sea, and surrounded on
all sides by spurs of the main mountain,
it was separated from the adjacent val
leys in such a manner as to possess no
outlet for the discharge of water to
lower levels, and it was only by absorp
tion and evaporation that any diminu
tion in volume could take place. By
constructing a tunnel G,8S7 yards long
under the mountain, large enough to
discharge 10,912 gallons of water every
second, Prince Torlonia has opened a
way for drawing off the entire contents
of the lake into the river Lyris in the
valley below. A system of canals has
been constructed in the bed of the lake,
and at the head of the tunnel is a mas
sive stone building in which is the gate.
In order to define the boundaries of the
lake at the time of beginning the drain
age, pedestals of hewn stone surrounded
by small cast-iron sututes of the Virgin
have been placed at Intervals. All of
the reclaimed land will belong to the
Prince Torlonia after paying a certain
sum to the Goveriiineut. The sale of
this land will repay in a small measure
for the enormous outlay of money to
which this public benefactor has been
subjected. It was in the light of a
beneiactor, and not of a speculator, that
the work was undertaken, and there is
great rejoicifig in Rome that the Prince,
now an old man, has been spared to
witness the completion of the enterprise
to which he has devoted millions of
money ana twenty-two years of his life.
The entire history of this great work
has been written in English and French,
and published by Torlonia, in a volume
of COO pages, printed with elegance of
type and paper, and embellished with
tine engravings illustrating the progress
of tunnelling from the days of C.Tar to
the present time.

AGRICULTURE.
Th A fpij! Worm. Mr. P. H. Foster
sends to the Scientific American his mode
of destroying the apple worm : "After
the worm has entered the fruit and ac
complished its damage, the time arrives
when it has to leave the fruit and hide
itself in a quiet, secure position to
undergo the transition from the larva
to the pupa states, which requires, in
the early part of the season, eight or
ten days; alter this time the miller is
hatched, and is again ready to besiege
the fruit with its sting. The insect,
being two-brooded in this climate at
least, if not disturbed, has an aggre
gating force to do mischief the second
time. The progeny for the succeeding
year have alone to depend on the se
curity of this second generation of
larva;. As ihey may often be found in
the bark of apple trees during winter,
my plan of destruction is, about the first
of July to take woolen rags large
enough to wrap around the trees, and
say lour inches wide Each week 1
look over the trees and destroy the
worms secreted under the rags and
wherever 1 find them, until the irnit is
off the trees. 1 have all the green fruit,
ol every kind, carelully picked up as
soon as it falls, thereby destroying
many of the curculio as well as the
apple worms. In future I intend to
poison the rags made use ot to capture
the insect."
As faemkrs are now about employing
help for the seaon, there are various
questions to be consulted in doing so.
Cheap hands are seldom profitable. An
inefficient, slovenly, careless or vicious
mau is not fit to be trusted with busi
ness. Hire meu known, or who come
recommended by men ho are compe
tent to judge of their capacity and ilia
ositiou. Hire first the good hands in
I he neighborhood sons of good parents.
H ood is ju.-t as important in a man as
In a horse or hog. Hire all the help
that will be needed for the season, so as
not to be compelled to rely on tramps
under any circumstances. The past
seasons are sufficient caution, in the
brutal invasions of property and person,
to waru laruiers ot the necessity of re
fusing to give aid or comfort to such
men tor a week or even a day. Let the
word go out from all parts of the coun
try, of the unalterable determination to
give tramps no quarter. Combine by
co-0ierating wilu your neighbors to do
such work as you have formerly done
by hiring temporary relief. A farmer
had better toil half the night in harvest
to accomplish his work than to sit up
nights to watch his family, his horses
or his tarn.
Artichokes for Hogs. Experience
has demonstrated the fact that arti
chokes are excellent food for hogs, and
that they are particularly valuable in
those localities where corn is the prin
cipal food. As more than a usual quan
tity is likely to be planted this spring,
a word or two of caution may not be
out ot place. It is not a good plan to
plant them in the centre ot a field, for
when once established they are very
difficult to eradicate. A belter way is
to plant them where they can remain
for any length of time desired. We
would not recommend planting more
than an acre or two, unless the person
has had some previous experience with
them; although those who make hog
raising a business often plant as many
as five acres. At all events the arti
chokes should be planted where it is
convenient to turn in the hog, so that
after the frost has killed the tops in the
fall, they will root up and eat the prin
cipal part of the crop. Enough ot the
tuuers will usually remain at the time
winter sets in to seed the ground.
Shade is Pastvrks. The only real
argument against shade trees in pas
tures is, that the animals collect there
and deposit manure where it is not
wanted. This may be avoided by erect
ing temporary shades that can be re
moved from time to time to diflerent
parts of the field, and thus do double
duty, affording comfort to cattle and
manuring land. These temporary
shades may be placed on barren knolls
and the poorest siiots in the pasture,
having the effect of inducing increased
fertility w here most needed.
The average age of the horse, when
allowed to live without the risk of acci
dents and disease which he incurs in
his usual work, is about twenty-five
years. Instances of greater longevity
are recorded on good authority and
there is reason to believe that occasion
ally he has reached thirty-five or even
forty years, but the-e are rare excep
tions, and there are few which live be
yond the twenty-eighth year while a
large proportion die before the twenty
filth. The breaking up of winter brings
heavy roads and severe work for teams.
When extra exertion is called for, it
should be done deliberately and with
caution. C hains ar.d harness should be
strong ; sudden jerks are dangerous to
the teams, harness and wagons. Above
all things a driver should be patient
and gentle. Willing animals should
never be fretted by the obstinacy or
stupidity of ignorant hired men. Just
now iet the farmer keep a sharp eye on
his horses.
Grass for Wu IUiduw axd Timber
Land. 'timothy and red-top mixed at
the rale of a peck of the first and a
bushel of the latter per acre, would do
well upon a moist, drained meadow.
Orchard grass and Kentucky blue
grass, a bushel of each per acre, would
be the best for open timber land.
Water is an essential part of the food
of iHants, partly becaue it serves as a
medium by which they can imbibe
other substances, and partly because
they can decompose it, anu assimilate its
constituent parts.
Locomotive Without Steam.
The London p:iers publish an ac
count of what is known as the Walker
substitute for coal in the generation of
steain foi loenmotivesorniariiieengineS'
This plan, it appears, covers an arrange
ment by which air is converted into
hydrocarbon gas of great heating power,
and is then stored in a chamber subject
ed toconsiderable pressure. From this
it is forced out again, through a pipe to
the perforated tubes, from which com
bustion takes place in the furnace and
by burning hydrocarbons with the
gas in a gaseous or much divided state
without the adjunct of external heat to
gasify or divide them. The heavy oils,
in this divided or gasified state burn
over the grate in conjunction with the
hydrocarbon gas. The principle, as
thus explained, is regarded as of ex
treme simplicity, and the practical
arrangements are said to be equally so,
insuring a certainty of operation, and,
in fact, reducing the question of prefer
ence to one of cost and convenience
merely. The comparison for storage
room and economy, in this case, is
shown in the following data, namely:
that if the calorific power of coal ier
pound be estimated at 8,000 calorific
units, then that of liquid hydrocarbon
per iiind must le taken at 13,000 units
which gives an advantage, weight for
weight, of63,1., in heating power, to a
liquid hydrocarbon,compared with coal.
Again, in the combustion of coal, as
carried out in the usual construction of
boilers and fire grates, only a very small
nroiiortion of the heat theoretically
developed can be made use of, while
by the use of burning gas and hydro
carbon, in a gaseous form, close home
to the heating surfaces, it is claimed
that a much greater percentage of use
ful evaporation is secured.

SCIENTIFIC.
The Tailing Phonograph. Mr. Thomas
A. Edison recently exhibited bis talk
ing phonograph before the Polytechnic
association of the American institute, in
Philadelphia. This was the first public
showing ot the instrument, and al
though much yet remains to be done to
make it fulfill the design of its inventor
its capabilities have already been con
siderably advanced beyond those which
it possessed when displayed to us in
full shortly after its origination.
The scientists who assembled to hear
the phonograph manifested genuine as
tonishment, and the instrument itself,
apparently on its good behavior, did its
best to strengthen the impression. It
proved its capacity as a linguist by re
peating sentences spoken to it in
English, Dutch, German, French,
Spanish and the Hebrew. It Imitated
with marvelous fidelity the barking of
dogs, crowing or cocks, etc., and then
taking a severe cold, coughed and
sneezed and wheezed, until the physi
cians in the audience instinctively began
to write prescriptions. The audience,
some members of which were at first
rather doubtful as to the foundation for
all we have said regarding Mr. Edison's
invention, left well convinced as to its
wonderful capabilities. Meanwhile the
inventor is relaxing no efforts to im
prove it. and we shall be much mistaken
if before many months he does not
astonish us with a machine abie to do
much greater things than those already
accomplished.
The present methods employed to
render glass opaque are like to fall into
disuse when the new process, recently
invented by M. Aubriot, becomes better
known ; for muslin glass, as it is termed
can be produced in a variety of colors
and in a number of pleasing designs,
which will compare favorably with the
dull monotony of the present ground
glass, and even with the etched or em
bossed glass. A sheet of the material to
be covered is floated with a vitrillable
pigment dissolved in gum water, and
when dry the stencil pattern is laid on,
and the exposed parts are cleaned with
a stiff brush. The sheet of glass is then
placed in a furnace, and the remaining
color is burnt In. When simple opaque
glass is desired, a plate is covered with
gum water and dried ; it is then placed
in a frame, and a piece of tulle, muslin,
or other suitable substance is stretched
over it in close proximity to the
gummed surface. The frame Is then
placed in a box containing a quantity of
the powdered pigment, which is forced
against the muslin by an air blast, and,
passing through the interstices, adheres
to the gummed glass. In this way the
patterns of the lace or muslin are re
produced, and the powder being first
caused to adhere firmly by placii g the
plate in a steain chamber for a few
moments, is burnt in, as before de
scribed iu a special furnace. By means
of stencil plates of different designs,
and muslin and lace ol dinerent pat
terns, together with pigments of various
hues, some very beautiful screens have
been produced, which far many pur
poses will be preferred to the plain
opaque glass t present manufactured.

care of the latter is less. In case of
accident it can be sooner renewed or
replaced. It is easier to begin with and
is more easily kept in order. The fresh
water should precede the marine
aquarium. The brooks, creeks and
ponds will afford the furnishing,
whether of animal or vegetable life,
and the study of the life beneath the
waters, if one may obtain their own
specimens, will add new interest to it
all. The aquarium to the young will
afford lessons that cannot be gained
from books; lessons upon Nature's im

favor the development ot thought and

A Swedish gun has been invented
which is claimed to be much superior o
the Gat ling gun. It is worked after the
manner of piano-forte playing, moves
to and fro in a section of a circle, and
sweeps all the ground that it covers in
a most marvelous manner. It is some
thing like sweeping a lawn with water
trora the jet of a garden-hose, moved
right and left by the operator. The
Russian officers has this wonderful
Swedish invention ready for use in
their fleet. It can be carried up into
the maintop for firing on the enemy's
deck and inside fortifications. In close
quarters it would sweep the enemy's
deck of combatants.
A galvanic pile, of which carbon is the
active electrode, has been invented by
Jablochkoff. The substances used to
used to act on the carbon are melted
nitrate of potassium or sodum. The
passive electrode is either platinum or
iron. The element gives a high electro
motive force between two and three
times that of Danieli. Of coure there
is a large quantity of gases given off,
but this the inventor intends to utilize.
Glycerine may be burned In any lamp

FUh Culture.
Brook trout culture is the mother of
tisli culture. The salmon of our coun
try are being sent to all parts of the
world, and yet fish culture is only in
its infancy. . Iu raising trout one must
have natural advantages. First, a nev
er-failing spring with a good flow of
water; second, uniform temperature of
water; third, a good fall, and fourth,
a pool not likely to be washed out by
severe storms. The old custom of hatch
ing the spawn on gravel is nearly obso
lete. Wire trays, with the wires cros
sing each other at right angles, one-
tenth of an inch apart, are probably
the best for hatching trout from salmon
spawn, as the fish are thus enabled to
fall through as soon as hatched. An
other method of raising trout has been
successfully tried, by arranging the
ponds iu the Fall, and selecting pairs
of ripe trout at different times, and
placing them in a pond where they
would spawn. They were then re
moved and other spawn substituted un
til there were enough eggs to stock the
pond. Of 100,000 from 90 to 85 per cent
are impregnated ; but of these, about
5 per cent, will not have strength
enough to burst the shell. Before the
sac is absorbed, about 5 per cent, more
will die from swelling of the sac. Du
ring the time the fish have been feed
ing, 20 per cent, more will have died,
either from disease or from being eaten
by their companions. New there are
fifty per cent. left. After four months,
from 10 to 15 per cent, more will have
died, and, finally, at the end of the first
year, only 25 per cent, of the original
100,000 will have survived. Keep them
another year and there will remain
from (,000 to 10,000.
DOMESTIC.
Flocr Adulterations. Dr. Hiiniy,
professor of Chemistry at the University
of Kiel has suggested a method, by
means of which any person of ordinary
intelligence may test the amount of
adulterations of flour. It is based upon
the fact that chloroform is specifically
lighter than nearly all the substances
usually em ployed for these adulterations,
such as lime, chalk, barytes, plaster,
marble, bone powder, etc., while the
genuine flour is again lighter than
chloroform, in which none of the above
named substances are soluble. The test
ing process is simple, and all the ap
paratus required is a small test tube
about three eighths of au Inch in diame
ter, and 4 or 5 inches long. A teaspoon
ful of the flour to be tested is placed in
the test glass and chloroform poured
on to fill the vessel to about three
quarters of its length, when it is well
shaken and then placed in an upright
position, so as to remain undisturbed
until the various substances mixed
together have had time to find the level
assigned them by their specific gravity,
the flour swimming near the surface at
the top of the vessel, while the mineral
bodies will sink to the bottom. It
should be observed that unadulterated
dour often shows a slight filmy jleposit
of a grayish or brownish color, which
it must be supposed is stone dust, pro
duced in grinding. A white deposit,
however, will invariably indicate au
adulteration with one or another of the
substances mentioned above. If the
materials are weighed before and after
separation, the amount or degree of
adulteration may be pretty accurately
ascertained.
Ammonia in ihk Kitchen. The pan
try shelves are getting grimy, or finger
marks around the door-latches and
knobs are looking dark and unsightly.
For lack of time they are left day after
day, for it is hard work to scour all the
time and it wears off the paint, too. The
husband keeps his bottle of oil, or per
haps a large can holds it, for he never
stints in that. Now suppose his wife
has her bottle of spirits of ammonia to
use; she takes her basin of water and a
clean cloth, just puts on a few drops of
the fluid and wipes off all the dirt ; it is
worth more than a half day's labor, and
does not hurt the paint either. She
could put a few drops in her dishwater,
and see how easily the dishes could be
cleaned ; a few drops on a sponge would
clean all the windows in the sitting
room, making them shine like crystal,
it would take the stains off the teaspoons
too, and a teaspooiiful in the mop-pail
would do more towards washing up the
kitchen floor than ten pounds of elbow
grease applied to the mop-handle. A
housewile has just as much right to
make her work easy and expeditious as
her husband has. If she do-8 not do it,
the fault is her own in a great treasure.
An Improvement in Bread Making.
Persons who are so unfortunate as to
be poorly provided with those agents of
mastication, good teeth, will be glad to
know that there is a method of baking
bread which obviates the nttcessity of a
hard crust. The crust commonly at
tached to the loaf is not only trouble
some to such persons, but is often the
eause of much waste. The way to be
rid of it is as follows : W ben the loaves
are molded and before they are set down
to "rise," take a small quantity of clean
lard, warm it, and rub it lightly over
the loaves. The result will be a crust
beautifully soft and tender throughout.
This is not guess-work.

some mushrooms, French peas, haricots,
tops ot cauliflower, salt and pepper,
and a teaspooiiful of sugar; let them all
boil gently, and, just before serving,
thicken the sauce with a little flour.

Getting a Man'a Commit to Marry II In Wife
A stranger called at the penitentiary
at Jefferson City, Mo., a few days ago,
and after some little hesitation disclosed
to Deputy Warden Bradbury that he
wanted to get a certain convict's con
sent to his marriage with the convict's
wife. Mr. Bradbury sent for the
prisoner, who is up for ten years, and,
after some few preliminaries, the
stranger, who seemed to be an old ac
quaintance of the convict, made known
his errand.
"Yes," said the convict, after some
little reflection, "you can marry her;
but what will you do with that boy of
mine?" "Oh, I'll take care of him,"
said the stranger. "All right then,
said the convict. "You have my con
sent to marry the old woman, but if I
find, when I get out of this, you hain't
been takin' good care of my boy, I'll
make it mighty hot for you "round
there."
But the stranger received his assur
ances, and the two men separated, both
well pleased with the result of the in
terview, and each impressed with the
idea, apparently, that he, himself, had
the best of that bargain.

HUMOROUS.
Ai Indignant noosntu. On New
Tear's D.ty, 1878. in the th Judicial
Circuit of Indiana, five persons who
bad been convicted of violations or the
criminal code of Indiana were brought
into court to be sentenced. Among the
number was a tall, lank Hoosier, who
had been convicted or stealing nogs.
When he was asked by the Court If he
had any reason to give why sentence of
the law should not be pronounced upon
him. he said.
"Yes, your honor, I have a wife and
several small children tnat depend upon
me for support,"
To which the Court replied : "This
is a Christian country, and your family
will be taken care of."
"Yon mean," said the criminal, "that
they will be taken to the poor-house?"
The Court replied, "le."
The criminal, after drawing himself
up to his full height, and with a look
of defiance, said, in a full, round tone
or voice:
"Your honor, I have got rich relatives
who will take care of my family, and
see that tbey don'tgo tothe poor-house;
and if they bad known the fix I was in,
they would have been here with money
enough to buy up the whole court."
It m needless to add tnat he got his
senteuce.
"War, mv dear, what is the matter?
What can you mean t You look so de
pressed. It cannot be and yet oh.
relieve this killing suspense t Alexan
der, have you tailed if" said his wife,
with clasped hands. "Jo, my dear;
my credit is yet unimpaired, and busi
ness Is looking up." V i ou can't meau
to say, dear, that your old pain in the
head has come back?" "No." "You
haven't had to pay the note for your
brother Joseph?" "No." "Have you
now tell me, Alexander Bidlack, have
you had another attack of vertigo?"
"No." "Has your cashier broke his
Murphy pledge?" "No." "Now I
know I expected it I knew it all the
lime I felt sure it would be so. Mr.
Debonair has asked for Seraphina?"
"No, nothing of the kind." "Theii tell
me, without waiting another minute,
what has happened; I can bear it? Lei
me know the worst." "Well, that
button I told you about has got tired of
hanging on by one thread, and here
it is."
Extremely Ignorant. 'Tut some
perfumery on my moustache," said a
young man to the barber, who was put
ting on the finishing touches, in a popu
lar Austin barber-shop, recently.
"Must be going to make a call," said
the polite tonsorial artist.
"Yes, going to drop around to see
some folks," was the reply.
"Going to see one of your many lady
friends, of course," insinuated the
knight of the razor.
Then the young man rose out of that
barber-chair, and said :
"See here, my friend; do you suppose
I put perfumery on my moustache be
cause I'm going to see a mau, or a boy,
or an old woman, or a baby in arms ?
Do men gather grapes off thorns, or tigs
off thistles?"
Old Uicas was an awful snorer. He
could be heard farther than a black
smith's forge; but his wife became so
accustomed to it, that it soothed her to
repose. They were a very dome-tic
couple never slept apart for many
years. At length the old man was re
quired to attend court some distance.
The first night after, his wue never
slept a wink; she missed the snoring.
Thb next night passed away in the same
manner without sleep, she was getting
in a very bad way, and propably would
have died, had it not been for the in-
geruity of a servant girl. She took the
coffee mill into her mistress's chimber,
and ground her to s'eep at once.
"I don't object," said the Quarter
master, on Sunday morning, while our
ship was running towards the Equator,
before the Northeast trade wind, "I
don't object to prayers when it blows a
hurrlcaueor when we are on a lee-shore.
But here we are called aft to prayers
when the weather is as fine as ever was
made; fair winds every day; a clear
sun at noon; skysails, studding sails
and everything else set; not a brace or
sheet nnbelayed for weeks; the ship
going ahead so steady that she could
carry a glass of sherry ou that capstan,
and uot spill a drop of it ! But prayers
it is, according to orders ! Now, what's
the good of it?"
A tramp walked in to a St. Louis Bank
the other day and, stepping up to the
counter, said, "May I ask you a ques
tion, sir?" "Yes, but be quick about
it," said the clerk. "I want to know if
all the greenbacks have been retired
from circulation," said the tramp, with
a very anxious air. "Oh. no," replied
the clerk ; "there are about 450,0(10,000
ot them yet." "Thanks, thanks," said
the man, with visible emotion. "You
take a load o.T my mind. It is so long
since I have seen one that I was afraid
they had all bet n retired." And then
he slowly retired himself.
Mothers should be very careful to see
that their daughter are weil wrapped
up while sitting out on the piazia to

coat sleeve is good as far as it goes, and
it generally goes as far as it can.
"Now, sir, are you willing to take
this lady to be your wtd.led wife?"
Bridegroom "What do you mean by
willing? You've nothing to do with
'willing.' I've said I'll take and by
thunder I'll take!"

How To Awaken A King.
Weymouth was long King George
Ill's, favorite resort for repose and
fresh air. He was accustomed to stroll
unattended about the the streets and
terraces of the little watering-place,
and lie liberally patronized its theatre,
indeed the good-natured monarch pa
tronized plays and players wherever he
found them. In the course of one of
his afternoon walks he had been over
taken by a shower of rain, when, the
door of the theatre standing open, he
entered, and, finding no one in attend
ance, he quietly made his way to the
Royal box and seated himself in his ac
customed chair. The performances of
the evening it may be stated, were an
nounced to be for the benefit of Mr.
Elliston, and his Majesty had promised
to attend and support by his presence
the efforts of the actor he greatly ad
mired. He was a trifle fatigued, per
haps, and the dim light of the empty
theatre and the easychair induced drow
siness. In a few moments the, King
was fast asleep. Meantime, Lord
Townshend sought hi Royal master in
various directions, but in vain. He
had dined at 3 o'clock, and quitted the
palace shortly after dinner; he had not
been seen since, and the Queen and the
Princesses were somewhat uneasy
about him, for it was now 5 o'clock,
nis Lordship even made inquiry of
Elliston, who was quietly proceeding
to the theatre to make arrangements
for the performances of the night;' but
Elliston could give no information,
he had seen nothing of the King. Ar
rived at the theatre, however, th actor
was not long before he discovered the
figure of a man asleep iu the King's
chair. He had, Indeed, entered the box
to assure himself that all was prepared
for the occupation of his Royal patron.
For a moment he did not recognize the
sleeper, and he was about to disturb his
slumbers abruptly enough. Fortunate
ly he discovered iu time that he stood
in the presence of the King. What was
he to do? He dared not wake his Ma
jesty by touching him; he feared even
to speak to him. It was clear, however,
that something must be done; it was
nearly time for lighting the lamps and
then the anxiety of the Queen and the
Princessses had to be considered. El
liston hit upon this expedient. He
took up a violin from the orchestra, and
placing himself Immediately under the
Royal box, he struck up, "God save
the King!" The King stirred, and,
presently springing up, exclaimed :
"What! what! Oh, yes, I see, Ellis
ton. Ha! ha! rain came on took a
seat took a nap. What's o'clock?"
"Nearly 6, your Majesty." "Six ! six
o'clock!" cried the King. "Send to her
Majesty say I'm here. Stay, stay,
this wig won't do, eh eh? Don't keep
the people waiting. Light up light
up. Let "em in let'em in. Ha! ha!
fast asleep. Play well to-night, Ellis
ton great favorite with the Queen.
Let 'em in let 'em in." At the close
of the performance, Elliston attended
tlje Royal visitors to their carriage,
when the King, still occupied with his
adventure of the afternoon, nodded and
smiled a he whispered to the actor,
"Fast asleep, eh, Elliston? Fast
asleep?"
Heads and Hats.
A scientific inquiry lately made by
Dr. Delaunay among the hatters of
Paris offers some curious results. Ac.
cepting it as true that the capacity of
the cranium and development of the
brain are proportional to the external
volume of the head; also, that the in
telligence Is proportional to th volume
and weight of the brain, he shows,
inter alia, that certain families develop
like individuals that is, they have a
period of growth, then a stationary
period, and a period of decrease, pre
vious to extinction. Infamiliesin thefirst
period the head enlarges from genera
tion to generation. Th citizens who
wrought the Revolution of 17H0 had
bigger heads than their fathers. On
the other hand, in families that are
tearing extinction the head grows
smaller. The sons of the present ruling
families in Franc have such small
heads, according to the author, that
they require hats specially mad for
them. Among certain families risen
from the common people the head In
creases from generation to generation.
The wide-brimmed bats bolivars
worn by the Republicans from
1830 to 1848 were very capacious.
The quarter in which are th largest
heads in Paris is that of the schools.
The hatters of the Faubourg St. Ger
main say they only fit line heads. The
Polytechnicians have larger heads than
the St. Cyrians, and the students of the
normal school larger than those of St.
Sulpice, etc. The members of the
clergy present a peculiar figure in these
statistics. "In general," says M. De
launay, "men from thirty to forty years
of age, have a larger head than those
from twenty to thirty. Not so with
ecclesiastics, for their heads cease to
grow at about twenty-live. The cures,
bishops, archbishops, etc., have no
larger heads than the students of the
large seminaries."
