Scientific Miscellany.

Oxipizep Warrek —Peroxide of hydro gen, or oxidized water is rapidly taking ar important place in medicine, and is already declared to be necessary, and not merely good or useful. As ordinarily sold, th peroxide of hydrogen is a 32 per cent solution, yielding 15 times its volume of oxygen. In its applications, this solution is said to be nearly as bland as water, caus- fing smarting only on such surfaces as the interior of the eye or the nose, yet it acts so ‘powerfully as a gerimicide as to kill anthrax spores in afew minutes. The chief value of the peroxide is in stopping suppuration and sterilizing wounds, which it does more effectually than any other substance. It cleanses all pus from cavities not easy to reach, as in abscess of the brain, and se thoroughly are the microbes devitalized that one application cnly is often quite sufficient to stop abruptly the formation of pus and cause the speedy healing of larg: aurfaces. It has been of especal service in operations on the eye. Itis also claimed to bring away diphtheritic membrane very quickly and eesily, and may be snuffed up into the nose to render a fetid discharge odorless. The peroxide of hydrogen is a very unstable compound, with powerful oxidizing and bleaching properties, but may retain its germicidal power for months ii kept cool and tightly corked.

HIBERNATION OF SQUIRRELS.—The idea that squirrels remain torpid through the winter is not sustained by facts. Recent observers, on the contrary, report that squirrels have often been seen abroad dur- ing severe weather in winter. It is sug- gested that, like many other wild animals, they prebably do sleep more in winter than in summer, that they are continually waking up and taking food. Reproduction takes place before warm weather, newly- born squirrels having been found as early as March 21.

From a series of yearly reports, Mr. B. H. Thwaite finds that 152 boiler explusions were due to external corrosion, 133 to over- heating, 118 to over-pressure, 168 to weak flue, 80 to fracture, 72 tv internal corro- sion, 68 to deterioration, 54 to defective stays, 51 to bad construction, 31 to groov- ing, 27 to deposit, 23 t» weak man-hole, 11 to bad material, 7 to lack of safety valve, and 156 to unknown causes,

Fisn Potson —Ice-proserved fish from the Londou markets, according to a Ger- man authority, have been found to be moat dangerous when kept in immediate contact with the ice, no ill effects having been ob- served from “eating the other fish. The harmfulness is attributed to the impurities frogen into the ice, which promote the for- mation of the animat-atkalsids known as fish poison.

Sotip SoLutions.—A German chemist, J. A. Van f'AOff, has drawn attention to the existence of sulid soiutions, pointing out that when a solution freezes it simply sulidifies instead of yielding up its solvent in a separate form, Examples of solid solu- tions, consisting always of a solid homo- genous mixture of several bodies, are seen in mixed crystals, in minerala whose crystals are colored while the basic sub- stances are colorless, in amorphous glasses, iu solutions of hydrogen in palladium, etc.

controlling the ascent and descent, and ex- periments will be made in electric propul- sion and in filling the balloon with gas pre- pared by the electrolysis of water.

Dr. Guido Bell has reported the case of a man, with several ribs broken by a fall, whose heart beats were very loud at the distance of a foot for about half an hour; and a previous case in which, after cuntu- sion of the thorax, the heart sounds were plainly audible the whole length of a large room, and even farther.

The original chronometer, made in 1759 by John Harrison, and awarded a premium of $100,000 by the British Government, has been entrusted to an expert for examina- tion and cleaning preparatory te being shown at the Royal Navy Exhibition.

In an investigation of 63 555 earth tre- mors, M. Montessus has tound no evidence of any connection with the seasons of the year. Professor Milne, of Tokio, finds that the numerous tremors in Japan have no reiation to barometric pressure.

Rain anpD Drain Gavoes at RorHam- step.—The largest rain gauge ever made is probably that used by Sir J. B. Lawes and Dr. J. H. Gilbert, at their experimental farm at Rothamsted. Is area is one- thousandth of an acre. The funnel is of wood lined with lead, the upper edge being a vertical rim of plate glass beveiled out- ward. A tube conducts the water in turn into four iron cylinders and finally into an iron tank, each of the cylinders being pro- vided with a minutely divided gauge-tube and holding rain corresponding to one-half inch of fall, and the tank containing an amount equivalent to two inches of fall. At this famous farm are also used three drain gauges, each one-thousandth of an acre in area They show the amount and the composition of the water percolating respectively through 20, 40 and 60 inches of soil bservaticns with these instru- ments for the 20 heavest years ending Aug. 31, 1890, give the following results: Mean annual rainfall, 30.29 inches. Drainage through 20 inches of uncropped soil, 14 38 inches; through 40 inches, 15.16 inches ; and.through 60 inches, 13.61 inches. The difference between the percolation and the total rainfall shows approximately the evaporation above each depth.

Protzmaic Arrica.—If Ptolemy's map of North-eastern Africa is to be relied upon — whieh has been doubted—modern travel- lers in the eastern equatorial regions have merely rediscovered what was iu some way made known to the Alexandrian geographer 2000 years ago. To test the accuracy of Ptolemy, Dr. Schlichter has constructed two maps—ono from Ptolemaic data only, and the other showing the latest know-

‘edge. A careful compariscn, with allow- snces for early defects, shows many striking coincidence. Most of the other places on he east coast marked by Ptolemy are readily identified with places well known to-day ; while in the interior, Prolemy’s Eastern Nile Lake proves to be the Victo- ‘ia Nyanza, the Western Nile Lake to be Lake Albert or Lake Albert Edward, the eastern end of the Mountains of the Moon coincides with a point 2a little south of Mount Kenia and the western end with Ruwenzori, and the confluence of the two rivers forming the Nile agrees with the place where the Somerest Nile flows into Lake Albert.

Society in Charlottetown.

Str,—A copy of your paper floated down to Florida and fell into my hands. I was curious to know what the good people be- yond the Straits of Northumberland, in your little Island, thought of life up among the icebergs, and instead of reading of peacefulaess and harmony I found that you were-—if * Rex” gives a correct view of 8o- ciety in Charlottetown—an unenviable iot of scandalists, and for want of other excite- ment, I suppose, made it hot for the un- wary and unsuspicious stranger who got mixed up in the social tangle of the place It must be a great misfortune to be limited for space to turn round and obliged to be perpetually on the lookout for social snags. But there is hope even for Charlottetown: if you will publish a few lines on the prac- tical side of charity, something after this style :

CHARITY, I.

When you meet with one suspected Of some secret deei of shame,

And for this by all rejected As a thing of evil fame ;

Guard thine every look and action, Speak no word of heartless blame,

For the slanderer’s vile detraction Yet may soi] thy goodly name.

Il,

When you meet with one pursuing Ways the lost hive entered in, Workiag out his own »ndoing With his recklessness and 8'n ; Thivk, if placed in his cundicion, Would a kind word be in vain? Or a look of cold suspicion Win thee back to truth again ?

ii.

There are spots that bear no flowers, Not because the soil is bad,

But the samme1’s genial showers Never made their bosoms g'ad ;

Better have an act that’s kindly Treated sometimes with disdain,

Than by judging others blindly, Doom the innocent to pain.

Entertainment at Greenvale School.

Notwithstanding the storm on Friday even. ing, 3rd inst., the schoolroom at Greenvale was filled at an early hour, by the parents and friends of the district, anxious to hea the entertainment given by the pupils and others under the management of their popular teacher. Mr. C.S. McDonald. Simon Brown, Exsq., occupied the chair. The following programme was excellently carried out :—

It is not the intention of the writer to take up the parts played by the different performers, ag each person performed their part very creditablv, but justice demands that a word of praise be especially given to the singing ot the pupils, accompanied by Master James Smith on organ, whose choice selections were heartly appreciated by the audience As an annual entertainment of some kind seems now to form « portion of the curriculum of most of the country schools, we are glad to see that Mr. McDonald is not behind his brethren io that respect. After the rendering of the programme, all present were entertained at supper, and after ample justice had been done to the inner man, ‘*God Save the Queen” was sung, and all repaired to their respective homes, more than pleased with the evening's amusement.
