The most striking proof that we now fully comprehend the action of this law is presented by the discovery of the planet Neptune, sim- | u'taneously by the great English astronomer | Adams and by the French astronomer | Leverrier in 18460. This planet was not

l in the ordinary way by means of purely by calculations, for it having become abundantly apparent that certain strange and regular perturbations in the orbit of the neighboring planet Uranus must have been caused by the attraction of seme other body in space, calculations were made, and notices sent round to the Observ-

aiscovered

telescopes,

ers, that a new planet must exist, and must pass a certain spot at a given time, This Planet was discovered at that time, and in

almost exactly the spot indicated

It is only the principle or the attraction of gravitation which creates weight, as we under- stood it for if that law did not exist a block of lead of a hundred tons, for instance, would rest in the air without suppcrt; and if wecould transport ourselves to a small planet, such as Vesta, upon which the attraction is very small, \ we should have a nobility equal to or surpass- { ing that of that voracious little insect, the pulex irritans, which can jump no less than two hundred and fifty times its own length, equal, for a man of average height, to more than a quarter of a mile; while on the other hand, on Jupiter or Saturn, we should prob- ably be unable to lift, say a jug of water from the ground, so enormous would be its weight, or in other words S°,tremendous would be the attractive power e:.€‘Cised by tbe great planet To walk on these planets would be impossible, for a HerculesWuld be unable to to raise his foot from the ground.

If we could allow oursejyes by the flight of the imagination to suppuse that the law of the attractian of gravitation could suddenly be annulled for a season on this earth, the most curious and startling eyents would occur, in in imagininary description of which a Jules Verne might revel. For instance, weight would no longer exist;a child could carry olf the Monument of Londou (if not fixed to the ground) and jump with it to the top of a house and place it unsupported in the air, where it would stay; a train going up an in- cline on reachiag the top would leave the rails ae its journey upward at the same angle until stopped by the resi . j Ww as it sadam ae a the =

For we know that a time will soon come when the law of attraction of gravitation will have no inflyenes tpon us; for in the ethereal state, when this mortal shall have put on immortality, we shall not be subject to its power; we shall be able to visit a planet or a star Ly a mere act of volition; we shall be able to pass through any obstruction without let or hindrance (John xx, 26, &c) and therefore shall be able to explore the very centre of the earth, and find out many of nature’s hidden secrets which at present ap- pear so mysterious; we shall be able to roam, with the rapidity of thought, throughout the whole and the great and glorious Universe ; and more delightful than all, we shall be able to see, and render grateful homage unto Him, who by receiving the punishment due to us, inheritors of this glorious future. But there are some who, with astounding fatuity, are doing their best to make certain ofa very different inheritance—shut out for ever from all these pleasures, and with the added exas- perating thought that they have only them- selves to blame!

It isuseless to put up screen doors at the entrance and screens at the windoys,to shut out the flies if you invite them by negligence of the laws of cleanliness. It is j¥@t as easy to clean up the breakfast and dinnet table and brush up the floor at once after the meal, and darken the room, as it is to let the table stand in the glare of the light to invite the flies. If the table must wait for those who are not punctual at their meals it should be care- fully coverea with a square of cheese ‘cloth, and the room darkened. No hot foods or meats that will attract flies should stand in this way, but should be kept hot on a plate set in

left inthe oven. If the habit of sitting ‘down to the table punctually be insisted upon and the food of those who are late is set aside to keep warm without waiting for them, it will save the house from the presence of many flies and help to keep the routine of work in order. The garbage pailand cleaning clothes are a fruitful cause of the presence of flies. The only garbage bucket that should be tolerated is a covered one. The buckets for this pur- pose are made of galvanized iron, with a cover. This bucket should be scrubbed out with sal soda and boiling water, systematically on the inside and outside, and thoroughly rinsed There is no excuse for the presence of dishes of uncovered food of any kind in the kitchen.

In short, make and keep all your premises as clean as possible before you hang up fragrant clusters of bush.clover to drive away the flies or put up wire screens, and neither expedient will be useful unless, always, the near presence of neighbors who are less eareful necessitate the screens.

Yuma, Ari.. July 2.-—Jusan Catillo, who raises cattle in Cochis county, near the Mexi- can line, is reported to have struck a bonanza ofa novel kind. On this rance are salt licks which contain placer gold but so fine is the gold.dust that it cannot be saved from the sand. Recently Carillo killed a steer,.and in the lining of its stomach found four ounces of The salt in the earth had chlorinized the metal and the lining of the stomach had at the bottom of a sluice in preserving the gold. Catillo slaugh- tered a sheep that had feeding in the same pasture, and the result was equally satis- factory, agly that the amount of gold was somewhat smaller.

MAprib, July 2.—Senor Canaves del Castillo, the Spanish Premier’ and the Duke of Tetuau, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, hive had a

long conference on the subject of the latest news from the United States, The Premier has notified the reporters here that he will not give them any news hereafter on the ground

TRE BEHRING SEA COMMISSION.

Montreal Witness some

th the proceedings at the last meeting of

The reports at

leng the commission on Canadian claims and says:

This is bedy, which, by the manner in which it pro- tects its labors, rebukes a feverish age, and an- nounces, with the poet, thatthe ‘only joy is calm.’

No wonder, indeed, that the body of digni- fied gentlemen who compose this commission are in no hurry to finish their labors. They represent two of the wealthiest nations on earth. No impudent creature will dare to haggle over their charges.

It was remarked this morning, with a com- fortable air, by a member of the ‘entourage’ of this easy-going body, which is at present in the city, that at the rate of two hours per day for each sitting, the proceedings would )ro- babably last five years, at the end of whe period, supposing a merciful providence spared nim to see it, he would retire into private life,

As there is no pressure whatever, and the business is wholly in the nature of a_pleasan itinerary, it is enimently proper that the wivet and daughters and lady friends of the com- mission should accompany the legal lum:naries, to add the distinction of grace and color.

‘How pleasant,’ said one of the ladies this morning to Sir Hibbert Tupper, ‘that the whole party should meet again.’

If anybody has discovered a_ biting irony in the circumstances that whils the whole claim of the Canadian sealers was under half a-mill- ion, the costs of the commission will, in all probability, largely exceed that amount, it is certainly not the members of this admirable body.

The commission, then, met this morning (June 16)at half-past ten o’clock at the Win- sor Hotel. There was, first of all a Jittle trip down town, then achat withthe ladies, and finally the formation of the court in a larze danhte apartment on the dining room flocr.

The judges took their seats with great g:a-i- ty; the counsel were proceeding to open their papers: procedent was about to be sought for with the utmost diligence, when—-it was found that the commission met thus through a mis- understanding. Mr. Beique had actually ;: r- ranged for the Court of Appeals to be placed at the disposal of the commission. The latter, comfortably seated, debated whether it should take the trouble to go down town; finally, as the space was limited, and it appeared that the proceedings might be made moré fo: mal in the Court House, to the latter adjournment was made,

‘It is a precious consolation,’ remarked one of the gentlemen connected with the commiss- sion, ‘that the Canadian sealers will not, what- ever the result, have to pay the costs of this bnsiness.’

‘Costs? But what about the award—what about their damages ?”

‘ Oh, well, you know, suppose they got no damages, and had to pay costs as well. Let us be thankful that governments are so solicit- ous—and so rich,’

‘‘The Witness then refers to the ove point brought up at the meeting as to whether or not a certain witness named LBosovitz was legally a citizen of the United States. and adds: My. Dickinson and Mr. Peters both declared that they had nothing else to bring up. Mr. Dickinson further declared that he had no suggestion to make as to the time and place of argument. Mr. Peters suggested that the argument take place at Montrealin Septem-- ber next. The proceedings were then adjourn ed to 2.15 p.m.

LOOKS LIKE A BEAR.

A Diminutive Animal That You Can Find In Water.

He really looks very much like a bear, though you must put him under a powerful microscope to see the resem- blance. The extraordinary thing, how- ever, about this tiny creature is that he is found in the gutters of houses, where he is at one time dry as dust and scorch- ed by the blazing sun, at another active and full of life under a_ refreshing shower of rain.

The water bear is one of the Rotifer animalcules, and is of allof them the most capable of standing any extremes of temperature without giving up the ghost. He may be left dried up for months, even years, and yet on being put into water will expand and begin moving about and feeding vigorously. Although he cannot stand boiling wa- ter, he will live in dry heat at a far higher temperature, even up to 260 degrees F. One has actually been kept in vacuum for 30 days with sulphuric acid and chloride of calcium without losing his capability of revivification.

As for the reason why, it seems the little beasts’ bodies are chiefly com- posed of albumen, which, it is well known, will stand a very high temper- ature without losing its solnbility. Then, too, they are provided with two skins, cne over the other, and these skins are wonderfully tough and elastic.

The water bear has the scientific name of tardigrada, because he takes life so easy. He is always fat and plump and spends his waking periods in constantly grubbing with his four pairs of legs among whatever rubbish comes in his way. Having eyes, brain

and a nervous system, he is much ahead of his tribe, and is altogether one of the most interesting and amusing little ani-

muls knowz to science.—London Tit- Rita
