Only the THURSDAY, Scientific Miscel:any. Tae Earrn’s Unsreaptness.—It has been pointed out that the shifting of masses of air and water may explain the recently observed changes in the earth's axis of rotation. A German physicist, Herr Lamp, notes the displacement northward of the maxima of air-pressure in the trade- wind region, and of ocean currents, as the gun rises in summer; and that the water passes back to the southern hemisphere as our winter approaches, It is calculated that the change observed in the latitude of Berlin (about 5 seconds) would be brought about by the movement of 2,500 cubic metres of water from 30° south latitude to APRIL 28, 1891. bY AAD, I , XAMIN ER. Oddfellows Natal Day. | THe Oddfellows will celebrate their Natal | Day this year on an elaborate scale. As a return for kindness and support from the} sister town, in celebrations of the Order in} this city in other years, a grand excursion to Summerside is advertised for Munday next. A special train leaves here at 9 a. m. (local), sharp, bearing Oddfellows with their sisters, etc., press representa- tives, a band of music, and all friends who can join the party. Arriving at 11 o'clock, or shortly after, ample time is given for dinner and sight-seeing till evening. At 2 o'clock the different lodges and encamp- ments meet at Market Hall, and, clothed 36° north latitude, producing a risc in sea | level of only four inches. with great interest. extraordinary discovery is that claimed by M. O DeClausen, a Russian engineer, who has been experimenting in London with a! new stove. Finding that much free oxygen escapes with the unburned fuel frem chim- neys, this experimenter concluded that— contrary tu ordinary theory-—less draft and diameter, lined with fire-brick. lower portion of the coal burns, a very small current of air being admitted to this, and passing upward sufficiently hot to causeits remaining oxygen to unite with the carbon monoxide gas in the upper portion of the coal. The products escaping into the chimney are colorless and quite cool, and” if the statements, made are to be accepted, less thau 3 per cent. of the possible heat is lost, instead of the 80 or 90 per cent. ordinarily wasted. M. Olzewski has found that liquid oxygen, instead of being colorlesass, has a bright blue color, He concludes that the blue of the sky may be due to the air’s oxygen. One OF IRKLAND’s Woes —Ether-drink- ing in Ireland, according to Dr. Ernest Hart, seems to date from 1842, The great- est consumption of ether was in 1876, after which there was a diminution, recently fol- lowed ‘by an increase, until at the present time the amount used nearly equals that of The reality of} will proceed along the principal streets to the oscillation of the axis is to be tested in/the new Oddfellows’ Hall, in the Crabbe different parts of the world—including the | Block, which will be dedicated with appro- South Pacitic—by turther observations, | priate ceremonies. and the results will be awaited everywhere |concert is to be given in Market Hall, by A Weatru-Savine Concertion.—A most musicians, the programme for which em- in street regalia and headed by the band, In the evening a grand the Oddfellows of thiscity and leading braces a first part, to include an orchestra overture, choice readings, vocal and instru- mental svlus and duets, and a song and parade of the Royal Irish Fusiliers ; and the second part will consist of an hour of old-time minstrelsy, mirth-provoking and free from any objectionable feature. The evening will be made more enjoyable by the presence of an eflicient orchestra of eight pieces. The special train leaves for Charlottetown at close of entertainmeat. The low fare of $1 for the round trip ought to ensure a large excursion. ee Entertainment at Hope River Hall Tue general debating section of the Agricultural Society of Hope River gave a free-for-all closing entertainment on Thurs- day evening last. Among the large au- dience present we noticed a goodly number of strangers, who, notwithstanding the almost impassable roads, made it a point to be in Hope River for the occasion. Mr. P. P. McGuigan, as President, with his genial and_ unaffected manner, does away with much of the usual rigid formalities, making strangers feel quite ‘*‘ at home.” It was doubtless owing to this, as well as to the influence of his brother, Mr. John McGuigan (who, by the way, is a member of the room committee and spokesman for the ladies) that the Hall was graced with such an appreciative audience, and that so essary to remember that there are matgegiealled Q.xinjne Wines, but that |1876._— The supply comes mostly from .?f ORIGINAL is ** Campbell's,” and thatthe genuing bears our signature large English establishments.

TRaveL or THUNDERSTORMS —The rate of travel of thunderstorms has been studied by Herr Schonrock, from the records of 197 such storms in Russia in 1888. The velocity is found to have varied from 13 to 50 miles an hour, with a mean of 28 5 miles, diminishing to 28 miles in the hot, season and increasing to 32 miles in the cold season. It was least in the early morning, increasing to a maximum be- tween 9and10p.m. The thunderstorms travelled most quickly from southwest, west and north west. Eartu Opor.—Two French chemists, Messrs. Berthelot and Andre, have investi- gated the cause of the powerful odor that rises from vegetable mould after a fall of rain. They tind the essential principal to be an organic compound of the aromatic family. Its odor is very penetrating, and analogous to that of the camphors; its pro- portion in mould is only a few millionths, but one three-miilionths of a gram is suf- ficient to produce a sensible smell. The new commercial museum at Rome will include a permanent exhibition of na- tional products and of such foreign pro- ducts as may be used in Italy. Its purpose is also to make foreign products known throughout Italy, and Italian products in all other countries. Zootoaicat. Bounparies. — Naturalists recogaize a certain number of what we might call zoological centres of population, says Dr. F. L. Oawald, and it eeems strange how completely a narrow marine channel has often prevented the four-footed natives of such regions from gelonizing a neighbor- ing continent. Asia, for instance, 4t one point almost touches the archipelago of the Sunda Islands, which seem to form a series of stepping stones to the Australian main- land, yet the zoological contrast between Labrador and Brazil is not greater than that between Hindoostan and Australia. From such centres of distribution as Bur- mah and Bengal a hundred different mam- mals have spread north and west, but only three of them, a wild dog and two species vf rodents, succeeded in making their way to the land of the kangaroo. Gas Cooxinc,—Gas is becoming very popular in Brussels for cooking purposes The price has been greatly reduced since the introduction of electric lighting, aod the gas companies supply special stoves at an annual rental of about ten per cent. of their total value. Many different kinds of gas stoves have been invented. Monthly lectures on the use of gas as fuel are given, with weekly lessons in evoking by means - f gas stoves. Co king by gas has important advantages for hot weather. oe For Over Firry Years Mrs. Winsloe’s Soothing Syrup has been used by millions of mothers for their children while cutting teeth. ‘it relieves the little sufferer at once ; it pro- duces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as ‘‘bright as a button.” itis very pleasant to taste.

He made it a point to wind up each stanza ina nasal tone of at least three bars duration. It was generally conceded that if he had a good voice aud would undergo a course of training he would make a singer. Taking the performance as a whole, it was creditable, and reflects not a little credit on the actors therein.

The roads are drying up considerably. Mr. George Finley, of Boston, is now in this settlement, where his parents live. He has been, during the past few weeks visiting his many relatives and friends in this vicinity. The invigorating spring weather of his native Island agrees with him, and his many friends at home and abroad wili be glad to know that he is looking hearty as usual, The large and commodious store at Murray Harbor North, owned by Hon. James Clow, is filled with a well selected stock of mer- chandize, which will bear inspection. Hon. James Clow is one of our most enterprising business men, and there is no doubt but he will receive more than an ordinary share of patronage this spring. Messrs. Samuel Johnstone and Martin Lanigan have been enlarging their outbuild- ings. They are two of our progressive young men. A number of men belonging to the district left in the past week for the United States, and more are intending to leave by the first of next week.
