SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Astronomers have discovered that the moon is drawing gradually nearer to the earth by about an inch every year. Thty have also discovered that the day is about one hundredth of a second longer now than It was two thousand years ago. Electrical storage has become a fixed and practical fact, and is, without doubt, one of the most important discoveries of tbi< age of wonders. It renders available the application of electricity for uses otherwise impossible.'* Attention will now be given to reducing the size and weight of accumu lators.

Xhe first electric locomotive was invented by a Swedish engineer, Herr H. Wesslau, in the employ of Siemen and Halske, of Berlin. This was proved last year by the latter firm when claiming a patent for their machine in America, which, was then oppo sed by Edison. The document to this effect, now in the Patent Office in Washing ton, sworn to by the American Consul in Berlin, eets forth that the first drawing to their engine was made by Herr Wasslau in September, 1878, while Edison's was not made until November, 1879. H«rr Wesslau is a native of Holland, in Sweden.

Coffee as a Protection against Typhoid and Cholera.— m. V. Burg has called the attention of the Academy of Sciences of Paris to a note presented by M. Bouley "On the immunity of workers in copper during the late epidemic of typhoid fever" in Paris. The note is published in the ''Comptes Rendus." A similar im munity has been discovered amongst the workers in copper during the cholera years.

Astronomical Notes.—Another small planet (No 238) was Discovered by M. iiorrelly at Marseilles on the 11th June, and observed by M. Bigourdan at the Paris Observatory on the following night. It Was of the eleventh magnitude, and is the second planet which has been discovered in the present year. The comets of the last year and the comet (a 1883 Brooka's) of this year were observed at the Austrian Marine Observatory at Pola by .Lieut, yon Juptner, of the Austrian Imperial Mavy. Mr Common succeeded in obtaining some time ago a splendid photograph oi the great nebula in Orion with his gigantic three feet reflector at Ealing; dry plates of gelatine bromide were made use of, and the duration of exposure was thirty-nine minutes.— " Atfaouieuni."

The Motions of the Moon.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—-In preparing a lecture which was delivered by me in Mahu^angi, Devonport, and other places, entitled "Nature's Philosophy," I was in want of an explana tion for a phenomenon which has always appeared to me to be one of the most re markable facts in nature, viz., the coinci dence in time of the orbital and axial motions o£ our satellite. Thinking that I might get from Mr Lambert, the astronomer, p, solution of this difficult problem, I wrote to that gentleman in order to get his opinion as to the cause of this peculiar circumstance, ■which is supposed to account for the fact that our moon always presents to us tha same or almost the identical area of her surface. Mr Lambert having favoured me with a reply, I have great plea sure iv handing you his letter, which will be interesting to many of your reaaerp, and per haps its publication may be the means of drawing an expression nt opinion from others upon this interesting question.—l am &c., JttCHARD MAESH.

Newton, Auckland, June 12th, ISB3.

Mr MAESH.— Sir,—l must apologise for the interval of time which has elapsed between the recep tion of your letter and this my answer thereto. An investigation of an important character has absorbed my attention for the past few -.v^eks, which I was anxious to complete before turning my thoughts upon other matters. Ido not know tnat there is anything mure singular to be fuund iv the near coincidence of time iv which the moon moves round the earth and that in which she rotates upon her axis than is to be found in other departments of the Solar System. To my mind, this fact is not nearly so wonderful as the reiacicn which exists between the distances and periods of the planet?, or in the compound value of a ray of light. .Look -where you will, variety is never lost, and thia fact you mention is but one link in. the chain which girdles the infinite onivere*. But you ask me to ex plain why ice Lunar motions are so coinci dent iv point of time, to which I must answer at onco—l do not know. It is a question which has but seldom beeu at tacked, for it requires the highest develope ment of mathematical reasoning. rJ, Tn*e most, therefore, I cau hope to do in a short paper is to give a rougn and brief outline of those steps by which astronomers have arrived at a theoretical explanation ot how the coincidence you observe has been reached. You are doubtless avrare that the diminishing (probably due to planetary attraction), and that her orbit is thus be coming more and more ciicular, without any corresponding change in her period of revolution. This is an established fact, and it therefore follows—first, that the area swept out by the earth each year is slowly increasing ; aecoadlv, that the sun's perturbing innueuce on the moon is each year slowly ciromiahiog; and thirdly that the moon must navel more quickly each year, which means that her mean side real revolution is growing shorter Thia cUange^n the moon's perioo. is what astrouo morscallthesecularacceleiationofthemoon's mean motion. But after a long aud abstruse Investigation by the most eminent astro nomer*, it was proved that only half of this acceleration of the moon can be accounted for by the change taking place in the earth's «llipticity, and for a time there was silence in the camp. Aiter a time another inquiry was made as to whather a part of the moon's acceleration waa only apparent so far aa .she w«s concerned, and due really to a re tardation in our earth a rotation, wneiebv out sidereal dayissnbjecttoaslightincreaee Oat of this inquiry arose the question' Is there a sufueient cause upon -which to jjage the theory of a retardation in the earth's rotation ? This question was very aoonau»wwea >n the annniative. !»„„• nose tha' no scientific law U more p ßr . lectlv established than the following : T nat tar all work done there must be an amount of force expended. Can we apply this | aw to explain the question betore u« ? I think we can Contemplate for a moment the tidal-wave,which sweeps twice a day round Sei oartb in a contrary direction to that in which the earth rotate*, and note the Ixneuditu-e. 61 force which is nrReQ fcouTlv aaatnrt her axial rotation ; what ia more likely to ensue than a conatan retardation in this particular movement Such an effect nas. *?«. Prov f e* to be ** oßerition which, continoing at its presen rft£ Sill'to thTcourae of ages so lengthen ourdryaTtomakeit as coincident with a

Lunar montb as are tneLuuar motions at the piesent time, (from which cause it will follow that when that time arrives, our earth will so rotate as to keep always the same side- turned towards the moon. It is by a similar process through lon past ages that, doubtless*, the moon's rotation has been brought to its present rate; be this as it may, the peculiarity we are dealing with cannot be better accounted for In the present state of science on any other hypothesis than that of the earths' controlling influence through ages which have gone. In conclusion, I must remark that the Lunar theory, from beginning to end, is purely a mathematical one, and in its study greatest minds huve been taxed. For this reason, I have thonght ii best to place before you the bare results only of tb.it high analysis, instead of those diffi cult steps of reasoning which have led thereto. Your idea of the moon's oiigia is probably correct, especially when con sidered in the light of modern science ; but without asserting as an indisputable fact (as come have done) that which -we can scarcely hope to know otherwise than ov inferences and analogy, we may assume that the moon once existed in the form of a vast mass of diffused matter, and tbat, by the action of gravitation upon the particles of that matter, it was condensed into a comparatively small and compact planetary body. On the other hand, there is a theory which asserts that every member of the Solar System bad its birth, and long main tained its tires, under the impact and collisions of bodies gathered in from outer space—a theory which is also called v Don to explain the agreement between the Lunar motions, and upon which much might be said on its behalf; but as the former theory has been accepted with such general favour, I shall leave further mention of the latter one for a future occasion.—Yours truly, S. J. LAMBEiJT.

The Horrors of a Chinese Prison.

As we entered the yard, 50 or 60 men swarmed out from the dark doorways which led into their dens, all heavily chained, with long, coarse, malted hair, banging in wisps, or standing on end round their death-like faces in filtby ra??, with emaciated forms caked with dirt, and bear ing marks of the torture; and nearly all with sore eyee, swelled and bleeding lips, skin diseases, and putrefying sores. These surrounded ub closely, and as (not without a shudder) I passed through them and entered one of their dens, they pressed upon us, blocking out the light, uttering discordant cries, and clamouring with one voice "Kum-sha" — i.e., backsheesh ; look ing more like demons than living men, as abject and depraved as crime, despair, and cruelty can make them. Within, the blackness, the filth, the vermin, the stench, overpowering even in this cool weather, the rubbish of rags and potsherds, cannot be described. Here, in semi-Btarvation and misery, with nameless cruelties practised upon them without restraint, festering in one depraved mass, are the tried and untried, the condemned, the guilty, aDd innocent; the murderer and pirate ; the debtor and petty thief, all huddled together ; without hope of exit, except to the adjacent judgment seat, wita its horrors of " the question by torture," or to " the field of blood " not far away. Od earth can there be seen a spectacle more hideous than that of these abject wretches, with their heavy fetters eating into the tlcsh of their nocks and ankles (if on their wasted skeletons, covered with Terrain and running sores, there is any flesh left), their thick, matted, bristly, blac 1* hair—contrasting with the shaven heads of the free—the long, broken claws on their fingers and toes, the hungry look ia their emaciated faces, and their clamorous cry "Kum-shal kum-sha!" They thronged round us clattering their chains, one man siyine that they had so little rice they had to '' drink the foul water to fill themselves ;" another shrieked, " Would I were in your prison in Hongkong," and this was chorused by many voices saying. " In your prison at Hongkong they have fish and vegetables • and more rice than they can eat, and baths,' and beds to sleep on; good, good is the prison of your Queen 1" but higher swelled the cry of "Kum-sha ;" and a* we could not five alms to several hundreds, we eluded them, though with difficulty ; and, as we squeezed through the narrow door, execra tions followed us ; and hiuh above the heavy clan« of the fetters and the general din rose th« cry, "Foreign devils" (Fan-Kwiii), as wo passed out into sunshine and liberty and the key turned upon them and their misery. We went into three other lar«e wards, foul with horror and setthlng with misery, and into a smaller one nearly as bud, where 15 women were incarcerated, some of them with infanta devoured by cutaneous diseases. Several of them said that they are there for kidnapping, but others are hostages for criminal relatives ■who had not yet been captured. This im prisonment of hostages is in accordance with a law which authorises the seizure and detention of persons or families belonging to criminals who have fled or are in conceal ment. Such are imprisoned till the guil.y relative is brought to justice, for montns, years, aud even for a lifetime. Two of these women told us that they had been there for twenty years—"The Golden Chersonese and the Way Thither," by Isa bslla L. Bird.

A Story of Patti and Formes.

The following story is goiDg the rounds of he Press :

At Ciocinnatti recently a little five-year old srirl crept cautiously along the corridor of ttie Grand Hotel, and knocked timidly at ;he door of the most pretentious suite of room* in this famous hostelry. As the door >pened, the child asked : " Does Miss Patti ive here ?" The little stranger was invited a and conducted to the great diva, who ;ook her on her lap and said : "I am Miss Patti. What did you want osee me for?"

" I want to hear you siug," was the child's response.

" What shall I siDg for you, an English or German song?" a ked Patti. "Both of 'em,"li«ped the child. The natchlesa singer kissed her tenderly and hen gave a concert to that little girl that older people would have given many dollar* >o have heard.

All this is very pretty, but -no one mentions wbo tbn child was. The facts arethesa: Karl Fb-mes, the great basso, was staying at the hotel, and iv a moment ot mirth shaved offhis beard and moustache, dressed up iike a child, put on frocks and a big sash, had his hair curled with a rousing top-knot, and knocked at Patti's door. Beholding the ravishing infant, the jreat diva asked : "What do you want, birdieJ"

Formes gave a ilute-like whisper.: " Vant tohi-ar oo zing." Then the matchless diva toak Karl on her lap and sang aria 9 from " Trovatore " and ' Elisir "to him for nn hour. When she was through, Karl let out his formidable "J^ai voice to its full capacity, and sang wb Pif.paf song from the '• Huguenots." fatti fainted from sheer fright, and when £»n finished on a low G-so low that it was vulgar—Nicolini, who had rnshed, in I ace what was the matter, found that the wwogjolce had killed the canary and had K'«ti the soprano's pet poodle convulaiors.

THUNDERSTORM AND LOSS OF LIFE.

Shortly after noon on June 25 a terrific 3t. orm of rain, accompanied by frequent heavy peals of thunder, burst over Chatham and the neighbouring city of Rochester. *or|nearly an hour the rain fell in sheets of wate-, completely fioodiug the streets and the low-lying houses, and occasioning con siderable damage to the crops and fruit trees in the neighbouring market gardens. Unfortunately, the storm was attended with loss of life, it beinc remwrprf nffor the storm had spent itself thWsSr who was on sentry and three men at Chatham Dockyard had been killed by the hVhtaing? rn\T n> £ a?P ears ' w*° werejempioyed at Chatham Dockyard, took refuge out of the storm in the sentry-box. Powerfulflakes ot lightning, attracted, no doubt, by the soldiers rifle struck the sentry-box daring the Urn. that the storm was a" it° he.ght instantly killing all the occu! pants, the clothes of tha men in one or two cases being almost completely stnppedoft them. The most severe thunder* storm that has been witnessed in Cambridge lor several year* took place the same day. About ten o-clock the sky became very much overcast, and by eleven o'clock a tremendous storm burst over Cambridge, accompanied by drenching rains, and, with but slight intermission, lasted till three o clock In the afternoon. The lightning struck the tower of St. Botolph Church, demolishing one of the figures by which ii is surmounted at its four corners, supposed to represent the Evangelists. 3he fluid appeared to pass down a pipe into the earth cnipping pieces of stone on the fac« ot the tower. The figure seems to have been completely shattered, some of the puces falling on the roof of the church and breaking tbe tiles, others falling towards the street, in which there were several narrow escapss from severe injury. In bourton town, a cottage, in which a man named Haigh resides, was struck by light ning. The chimney was hurled down, and in ihe rooms a cupboard was completely desti oyed. A piece of a large tree at Hyde Park corner Was torn off aiid thrown on to the ground. The rain did considerable damage, some of the basements ot the larger houii s baring four or five feet of water in them. This bein? horse-fair day 'ot the celebrated Midsummer Fair, the result was mo^t disastrous; business was entirely stopped, 3nd the Midsummer Com mon was almost like a tea. .Ken ner's Ground, where the University sports and cricket matches take place, pre-ented the appearance about two o"clock of a huge lake. Va.li.iis parts of Warwickshire and Leicestershire were also vivited by a severe thunderstorm, which comnaeDced early in the evening and lasted a considerable time lUia fell heavily, particularly in some of the country districts, and the lightning was ternbr:. A vpry heavy thunder-toim passed over the Vale of Cl wyd, accompanied by torrems ot rain. The flashes of li^ntnin" were vivid and tbe peals of thunde*r loud" At Bettws-y-Coed the storm was especially heary, and lasted for upwards of an hour. In the Bedford district, a large house in the course of erection at Kempton was partially demolished by lightning, which also struck aud instantly killed a child. Heavy thunderstorms prevailed In the West .Berks and Morlh Hants.and avast qtiantity of ram fell, compelling a cessation of hay making operations. Reports from some of £ c * VA'i ageS v ound fcittinghourne show that although the town itself escaped any serious effecis from the storm, the former sustained immense damage. xhis was chiefly caused by a terrific hailstorm, the hailstones being as large as walnuts, cutting the bop plants all to pieces, beating down the coro, and stripping trees of their iruit. One gentleman lost the whole of a valu able collection of rose?, and on the premises *ix hours afterwards, where the hail had drifted, the hailstones lay a foot deep A shock of earthquake was felt in many parts of Cornwall, and particularly on the north coast, and occasioned considerablde alarm throughout the country. & t Bude the shock is described as being of an extra ordinary character, and noc only was it felt there, but all along the coast. Ihe shock was quick and sharp, but sufficient in force to shako the housei to their foundations, and to cause a sensible oscillation of furniture iv the rooms Iv several instances articles of glass and crockery were thrown down aud broken. • *t Stoke Cliraslaod two shocks were ex perienced. The rectory house, a large and substantial building, shook very perceptibly, aud some members of the rector's family who were in the church at the time state that the church also was shaken, and that chains hanging from the roof, from which in winter coronas are suspended, oscillated tor sonu minutes. Some scaffolding, erected round the church to enable paint log operations to be carried 00, also shook as if it would fall. At Launceston and neighbourhood there were two distinct shocks. There was a low rumbling noise Beard as of a henvy waggon passing, accom panied by considerable vibration, and the ■windows of ihe houses and shops were shaken for several seconds. The second shock was not so severe as the first, but there was no mistaking it. Similar reports nave been received from Horrabridge, Lawhuton, Calstock,. SoutliDetherwi::, aLrj otaer piaces in the country. *

Lightening Children.

A lady overheard her nurse girl talking to the little child she was putting to sleep. Among other legends of the nursery in wheh she indulged, was this : " If you don't go right to sleep this very minute a, great big awful black bear, with eyes like coaU of fire, and sharp, white, cruel teeth, will come out from under the bed ana e-a-t-y-o-u-a-l-l-up 1" Tha poor little thing nestled under tha clothes, and atier a long season of terror fell aaleep, to dream frightful dreams ot bears eating her.

That night, ■wbcu the stolid nurse had composed herself in her own comfortable bed. and had put the light out, there c»me a sudden rap at the door, and the voice of the mistress called loudly at the door. " maggie ! Maggie 1 for mercy's sake Bet up as quick as you can ! There's a fearful burglar under the bed, and as soon as you get a sleep he's coming out to rob and murder you !

At the word burfilar the girl sprang from the bed with a scream, tore open the door and fell into hysteric* in the hall. The Jesson wan even more instructive thau the mistrc-s hud Jdesipned, but when the girl's tears were calmed, she said to her:

" You did not hesitate to tell my little delicate cnild, who could not possibly know that it was a lie, a cruel story of a hear under her bed ; now when I treat you to the same kind of a slumber-story, you are nearly frightened to death. To-morrow you can ko into the kitchen and work; you are not fit to care for little children."

How many children are there who. every night of their lives are frightened to sleep !

Wrong-doing is a road that may open fair, bat it leads to trouble and danger. Well-doinef, however rough and thwnyat first, surely leads to pleasant places.
