Threatening to Kill. This serions offence might well be charged against that prevalent disease Constipation, which threatens to destroy many valuable lives if not stopped. It arises from wrong action of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels, and causes Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Bad Blood, Boils, Pimples, Rashes, Eruptions, Sores and Foul Tumors. It can only be cured by the prompt use of the right remedy, Burdock Blood Bitters,

_ loping as a Derectivs.—Some interest- ing researches on a method of detecting changes in written decuments have been comtuunicated to the Paris Academy of Medicine by M.G Bruyiants, It isshown that when paper, sized and calendered, is partially moisiened, then, after dryiny, subjected tu the action of iodine vapor, the parts which have been wet assume 4 violet tint, while those which have escaped water grow yellow or brown. The intensity of the coloration varies with the time of ex- posure to the iodise. Places where water bas previously fallen and dried may still be detected after the paper is completely -arurated with water, the parts which were first wet being turned an intense vi let blue by the iodine, while the other parts become biue. Even rubbings, such as those which are made by bread crumbs and elude dis- vovery by other methods, are clearly brought out by iodine vapor, and erased racings of a soft pencil are made legible. Che certainty of the results depends much

upon the quality of the paper and the elapse of time, irreguiar wetting or rubbing giving '8ix months is indicated as follows, compar- (

(The Empire.)

The financial authorities do not believe that a sufficiently long time has gone by since the aduption of the McKintey tariff fin which to judge of its effects upon the trade of Great Britain. That it has had some effect they do not deny. During th first three months after the passage of th: Act, that is, from October te December, British exports fel! off over 44 per cent.. and the latest statement for the first quar ter of 1891 shows the decrease to be con- tinued.

Farroip.—A now artificial stone, which can be melted and cast in moulds, is said to. be a compound, partly chemical and partly mechanica!, of iron, sulphur aud silicon, with more or less foreign matter. Its nor- mal color is » dark slate, which can be wedified by pigments. The material has the hardness of bluestone, and can be work- ed with the usual stone cutting tools, turn- ed in a lathe or planed The tensi-e strength is from 650 to 1200 pounds per square inch, and cmpression of 9,000 to 12,000 pounds is withstood, The «p-ecrfic

gravity is about 26; the melting point

about 300 degrees Fabr. The new stone is

described under the name **Ferroid,”

GrREENLANDS Dust -The ecvosmic dus:

evllected by Nordeuskjvld in Greenland im

1883. has been submitted to scientific «x- amination and feund to consist chiefly of feldspar, quartz, mica snd hornblende, with a

‘smaller proportion of some other common ‘minerals, 4 nitrogencus organic substance, and sem- particles similar to those «ob:ain- ed in deep sea soundings.

It is b-lieved that the last-named miterial has come from

been carried in the air from a regi-n of | crystalline schists. If the dust taken from the Greenland snow represents the fall of one year, the total annual fall on the earth's entire surface is equivalent to a) cube of 31 yards on a side.

In 1663, acoording to a recent paper by Mr.G J. Symons to the R»yal Meteorolo- gical Society, Sir Christopher Wren de- signed net only the first rain guage, but , also the first recording guage, although the inatrumen:; was not constructed uutil 1670. The earliest rainfall records were made at the following places : Paris, 1668; Town- ley, in Lancashire, 1677; Zurich, 1708, and Londonderry, 1711.

A Swedish metallurgist, C. A. Caspers- son, tests the hardness of iron or steel in process of manufacture by electrically melting a sample of certain size and com- paring the strength f current necessary with that known to be required to fuse standard pieces of metal of determined hardness.

Har rx Cextrat Ecrorge.—The record of! injury from hail in Wurtemburg for 60 years’ (1828 87) has been investigated by Herr Buber. The yearly average of days with bail ie found to be 13. July having the largest number of any month and June the next

About 92 per cent. of the culrivated land was affected, damage being done to to the extent of $600,000. Of 17 heilstorm paths made out, one very often taken is from Scheer to Ulm on the Danube -45 miles long and 10 wide, The paths are all connected with the, configuration of the ground. Slopes with =] western exposure suffer more than those with | an eastern, while platns are much less ~ffected ° than hilly ground. No evidence #pp-ars of

increase in the fall of hail in the course of, decades, and the much mentioned influence of

forests is no" distinctly proven.

Svicipg AmonG CHILDREN.—In a period of | six years 1883 io 1888—there were no less. than 289 cases of suicide among schol child-; ren in Prussia, the number for each year

ranging from 58 in 1583 to 40 in 1885. Lo 86

cases ne cause is known; but 80 cases are

attributed to fear of punishment; 19, to dis-

appointed ambitition; 16, to fear of examina-

tion ; 28, to insanity and melancholia; 5, to) love; and 7 are supported to have been only

partially intentional. Ouly 49 of the 259

suicides were girls.

A German electrician, Herr Gulcher, has made a thermo electric battery giving electric power equivalent to 1.08 per cent. of the heat employed, and hopes to exhibit at Frankfort a battery which will yield at least 5 per cent. net effect. With an economical source of heat, he believes that his thermo electric battery will even excel the dynamo machine in efficiency.

Militia * roubles.

We fail to see anything s» highly ‘*‘sen- sational”’ in what is cailed the ‘Story of the Halifax Militia Troubles,” and we are glad to find some one with a level heatl ad-

as the only account given so far is obvious- ly one-sided. Uf course no one can blame a newspaper for obtaining information about the proceedings of the court of in- quiry, but some one connected with the business is open to very serious censure for giving that information, which was suppos- ed to be strictly private and known only te few officials. And in the service it has always been regarded asa grave bresch of professional etiquette to provide any paper with details of military information. Ona the military side of the question, however, we prefer to say nothing ; the resul's of the enquiry will be public property before long, and will probably be very different from what the public have been led to expect. On the other side, however, we have a

‘perfect right to speak ; and_we consider it

ab minably b:d taste, and at the same time bad policy, to parade an «fficer’s pri vate affuirs befure the putlic. The whole thing lo ks uncommonly like a ruse to divert the attention of the public and of the ‘fiicials trom the point at issue, aud to create a prejudice against an «fli er by con- siderations which have no right te any place whatever in the discussion. And this view of the situation is burne out by the fact tkat several other statements have appear- ed in the public prints which must have struck. any unbiassed observer as deliber- ately planned with the same object.

The officer in question has our entire sympathy, and we can only h spe that the resu'ts of the enquiry will be speedily pub lished, for his ssiisfsction as well as our own.—Uur Society, Halifax.

In the course of hissermon Rev. Mr McLeod told the congreg«tion that if any am pg them were asleep they had better wak up or they would miss hearing a good story Much to the amusement of the congregation, one old man left his seat, advanced a few steps up
