The :team-propelled eeroplane of Messrs. V. Tetin and Charles Ricbet has a very light «ilk covered wood ¢rame, to whith are attached by steel wires two similar'y constructed fixed wings and a tai!. A steam engioe drives two screw propellors—one at each end, rotating in opposite directions. An exp rimental apparatus receatly tested had about 14} equare vards of wing eur face, weighed about 73 pounds, including water and coal for a flight of three miles, and developed a speed of twenty yards a second, the size and speed being consider - ably greater thas those of Langley’s aero- drome. The longest flight thus far has been about 150 yards, the machine having a tendency, in ite present stage,to take headers. The start is madeon acar roliing down an inclined plane 82 yards long, at the end of which the aeroplane is automatically released for free flight.

The accurate determination of the atomic weights is shown by Prof, F. W. Clarke tu be a matter of real practical im- portance.

Much of the problem of life is inter-~ ming! d with that of the vicaiity of seeds, which is still a matter of difference am ong biologists. Some bold that there is simp- ly a slowing down of life in the dormant seed, imperceptible change and respiration continuing to take place; while others be.ieve that the vital machinery is brought to an absolute rest for a time, to be started again when external conditions become favorable.

the British Empire (including the ‘Tranevaal and other protected States) the estimated zsmount for the year 1894 being £ 37,030,000, of which £.18,403,000 is registered as ander the

latter category: the amount coined in that year |

in the three British mints of London, Sydaey, and Melbourne,having been £ 12,912,000 mere thar half of which was coined in Australia.

These latter ceins may be recognised by a very minute Mintsmark, 5S. or M., representing respectively Sydaey or Melbourne; and if the glowing accounts of the extraordinary richness of the goldfields of Klondyke are at all reliable, the proportion of Beitish-produced gold may be expected to be materially increased. The British coinage is now ina much more satis- factory comclition since the wise and equitable law was passed in the gear 1891, by which the light coinage was called in, the proportion of worn coins in circulatieg below the limit of least current weight, which previous to that date was nearly fifty per cent., being now quite insignificant. The writer has the satis- faction of having initiated the movement which resulted in the passing ef tha¢ Act.

| bleak and inhospitable arctic desert, climbing

over precipitous mountain paths, where a false step may mean death, claanbering over slippery rocks which form rude stepping stones over raging torrents, and braving the fierce - hurri- canes of frozen snow which almost beat the very life out of the eager gold-seekers, And when at length having reacned their destination toiled for their gold, and are driven away by the severity ofthe polar blasts, and by the scarcity of food, they find that laden with the gold they have acquired, the journey back is more arduous than the outward expedition, and they arrive Lome, nearly starved to death, and perhaps robbed by murderous marauders of every ounce of that precious gold they had worked so hard to acquire.

But if we would devote an energy equal to that we display in the acquisition of the precicus metal, to the task of gaining that *‘crown of pure gold” which will be awarded to those who ‘“‘fear God and keep His eonmandments,”’we shall find that the quest is attended by no hardships, by no disappoint- ments, and. by no uncertainties; and that when that glorious reward is allotted to us its possession will confer untold pleasure and transporting enjoyments which wili endure for ever.

“The best remedy for la grippe that I know of is Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.” =~, ~ Rev. JOHN K. CHASE,

“My wife and five children were taken

down with la grippe, while the disease was so

widely prevalent. I dosed them with Ayer’s

bottles my family was restored to health. I

know of several obstinate cases of the same

and are tuld that in the vicinity of the Garden of Eden gold existed, and that ‘the gold of that 'and was good.” And all tiown the ages history presents one long record of the over- whelming might and potency of that intense and ardent coveting of the precious metal

| which animates the entire human race, with

the s tribes which are sunk lowest in the scale of humanity, and whose wants are scafve higher than those of the animal world. To these gold

In aicient times the metal appears to have x xisted .n much the same prop yrtion as at the | present day, though, of course, in the absence | of that comparatively modern invention, paper |} money, which represents vast sums of gold which do not exist, the corresponding wealth of the populations is not capable of comparison with that of the present time.

In the year B.C 323 we reac that Alexander the Great captured in Persia 351,000 talents of the precious metals; and assuming that one ‘half of this enormous sum was in gold, the ; value of the whole would represent the sub- | stantial sum of more than a theasand million pounds sterling; while for the sule purpose of erecting and lavishly decorating the glorious and magnificent temple of Jerusalem, King David amassed the colossal sum of one bun- dred thousand talents of gold, an amount equal | to five hundred and forty million pounds ster- ling of our moneys. In more recent times perhaps the largest amount of the precious metal accumulated for any purpose was the ransom Offered to the Spanish Conqueror Pizarro by the Peruvian Inca, which was arranged to be a room filled with golden ornaments, coins and vessels to the height of nine feet from the floor, the size of the room being seventeen feet by twenty-one feet.

Sleeplessness.

| §leeplessness brought about by nervous ' excitement, mental strain or overwork can be cured by a harmless home remedy, which anybody can easily test. Simply take a moist towel, fold it up and place it acxoss the neck. Forsleeplessness of nerv- ous people who suffer from cold feet while the head is hot there is no better remedy than to rub the legs, and particu- larly the feet, briskly with a brush ora ' rough towel. This will benefit the circu- lation, and a sort of tired feeling is the result, which soon produces sleep. Drugs cannot be used successfully for either of these forms of sleeplessness, while the lo- cal application of water will almost unex- | ceptionally give immediate relief. —Phila- ' delphia Ledger.
