SCIENCE NOTES.

AN iaterestiog experiment, illustrating the fare:" or ine'tia and molecular resistance, is given it "La Nature," It was first per fatniua, ami witli a practical purpose, by a Gorsicun, under the second empire. Place a-sealed piece of wax on an anvil, or well saDported iron plate, and over it a round ball of cast lead (not compressed), oi diameter, corresponding to its width. Now give the ball a sudden violent blow with a oammer. The flatteued ball is found to Save taken the impression of the sealed wax in ito least detaik, aad without breaking it (if r.he experiment is properly done). With trie aid of this matrix the scul may be copied. It ht>s been recently found by M. Urown- Sequard thut carbenicacid, blown into the upper opening ot the larynx, produces not only a local anaesthesia in that organ, but a genera anroatfeesb, aad that this loss of sensibility turougnout the body depends not on the passage of carbonic acid ia the blood, but on an influence exercised on the nerve-centres by irritation of the sen sitive nerves of the larynx. A writer in the " Philadelphia Medical Times ' says that he has for eight years made a practice of treating erysipelas by the local application of borax dissolved in glycerine, one drachm to an ounce, which M to be well rubbed in and applied on linen. The result has beeu to cut the disease shorl apparently in a few huurs. In some cases he used tincture of iron internally, in some not.

The hmh coaducting-power of certain sohds tor sound has been long applied (according to M. Go bin) for ascertaining toe progress of gravels on the bed of the Khone. If one is in a boat it is sufficient to place oue end of a cane in the water and apply the ear to the other ; one then hears very distinctly the noise produced by the shock of pebbles earned along by the stream. 1 lie sound is described as similar to that produced in fryiDg; now and again more pronounced shocks are heard on impact of large stones. Two Pennsylvanians claim that they nave discovered the Becret of making mum mies. They have applied at the Patent Oilice at Washington for a patent for their process of preserving the dead, supposed to be the long-lost Kgyplian art. It is alleged that, partly by accident aud finally by ex periment, they have discovered a certain combination of anti.-eptic elements which, if diffused through a dead body, even when it is in an advauced state of decomposition will destroy all corruptible matter, and cod Yen the flesh into a cartilaginous state the denser parts being converted into a hard, horny substicc, but natural in its appear ance In cue of these experiments, the in ventors applied the compound to the re mains of a dead infant. Ten weeks after the body had bean removed from all contact with the comaound, the flesh had become like rubber, the cheeks were full, and pliant to the touch, and the ears had become like polished bones. Curious F*cts adoot Flat Fishes.— All noroialli-foimed fishes, like the cod, maint.iin themselves, whether swimming or at rest, iv a vertical position—that is, with thu back above, and the ventral surface beneath. Snch, ho-vever, ia not the case vvitU the Pleuroneotids, or flat-fishes. Their bodies are so compressed laterally,, and their pectoral fins, which correspond to our arms, are so small, that they cannot main tain themselves in the position of a coin standing on its edge. They have conse quently fallen on their siae —m some species it is the right, in others the left side—and in this position they remain, whether swimming or at rest, The right and left titles of an ordinary fish thus become the upper and under surfaces of a flat-fish; and in order to render this a tolerable arrangement for the creature, Nature has wrought some strange modifica tions .in its structuie. The side which is uppermost shows a much greater devalop ment of rnuacle than that which Is under, thua imitating the back of an ordinary fish. It is on the same side, also, that colour is developed; the opposite side, which in normal fishes always resembles the other, assuming in this case the ghastly white appearance ordinarily seen on the ventral surfaces of fishes. The least observant person can hardly fail to notice a decided queerness in the eyes of flat-fishes. To be like other fishes they ought to baye an eye OH each side of the head ; but since they have practically converted one of their sides into a ventral surface, it is plain that an eye which would be always touching on the sea-floor would be worse than useless, and the under eye is therefore made to travel round to the upper surface, ar.d take it 3 place side by side with the other. Both, eyes thu3 come to be situated on the same side of the flat-fish's head. It may be objected that those peculiarities of structure are not modifications, but simply the original design of the flat-tithes. A study of their development from the egg, however, shows conclusively that flat-fishes were originally made upright, and that crookedness with them, as we are told it was with man, has tupervened. When newly hatched they are quite symmetrical, and for at least the first week of their lives they swim like other fishes, on their edge, with an eye on each fide of the head They then begin to Jose their erect position, and with this change the eye on what after wards become- the blind eide "travel*," says the lata Piofesaor P. M. Balfour, "a little forward, and then gradually rotates over the dorsal side of the head, till finally it comes to lie on the same side as the other eje." There is at least oue group of flat-nshr.s", however, in which the eyo travels by a diffetent route. Instead of keeping at the surface, it sink*, in those cases, into the tissues of the head, and gradually makes its way through to the other side. In these the travelling eye has for come time an opening on both sides, the c.-ea«ure appearing to have three eyes, until thn opening on the blind side closes over. It is a curious fact, also, that as soon as the under side becomes blind, it loses its pigment cells and becomes colourless.

Mounting a Camel.

MOTTHTINO a camel is not difficult, but it has some sweet surprises for the novice, The camel lies upon the ground with hin legs shut up under him like a jack-knife. You scat yourself in the broad saddle, and cross your legs in front of the pommel. Before you are ready, something like a private earthquake starts under you. The camel raises his hind-quarters suddenly, and throws you upon his neck, and before you recover from that he stialghtens up his knees, and gives you a jerk over his tail; and while you are not at all certain what has happened, he bei>ins to move oiF with that dislocated walk which sets you into a see-saw motion, weaving backwards aud forwards in the capacious saddle. l»ot having a hinged back fit for this move ment, you laah the beast with your koor baah to make him change his gait. He is not loth to do it, and at once starts into a lively trot, which Rends you up a foot into the air at every step, bobs you from side to side, drives your backbone into your brain, and makca castanets of your teeth. Capital exercise 1 When you l.aye enough of it you pull up, and humbly inquire what is the heathen method of riding a drome tory;

A ROMANTIC STORY.

Strange Vicissitudes of an Eng lish lMtly,

During the hearing of a recent trust case in the new London Law Courts, there sat as an eager and interested observer of its proceedings, a lady whose peculiar though slightly faded beauty did not fail to attract the observation even of unimpressionable lawyers, and whose life has been one of romantic and unusual incident. She had scarcely yet outlived her youth, and retains some of that remarkable beauty which in her early years brought even princes to her feet. When a young girl, living w-th her parents in India, a native palace became enamoured of her charms, tier father, a gentleman of Eng lish descent aod connections, was, or had been, the young prince's tutor, and his daughter had been trained with all the care f>f a Christian home, and had been especially taught to admire the Briiish character, and to love the British Queen. When she had but just entered on her teens, her reeolufe admirer, who had now become the Rajah of Kuppoor thals, sought her hand in marriage. But her parents, properly regarding her youth and the perils .of the position to which it was sought to raise her, could not be pre vailed on to consent. That was just before the outbreak of the great Indian Mutiny, and that saddest of al! rebellions brought the rajah's opportunity both for love and war. The young lady's father left his home to render prompt service in the cause of loyalty, and for come days after his departure all was excitement and alarm. It was a matter of no small conjecture_ and anxiety as to the part the young rajah would take : and his fidelity to the British Crown seems to have been for a briet period in suspense. At this critical moment he determined to renew his appeal for the handof the vounir beauty. Arriving with an imposing pageant at the house of her father, ot whom nothing had been heard for some days, and about whose safety there' was intense anxiety, the rajah presented himself to the mother of the young lady, telling.her that upon her answer depended the course he and his army would take in relation to the mutiny. la vain the mother pleaded the absence of her husband and her own crushinganxieties.lTheanswei was required there and then, and upon it was to depend the rajah's imme diate action. It wag given as he d° sired and he fully redeemed his pledge. With all his energy he threw himself into the British cause, wi;h a valour and success which by no means passed unrecognised In this month's " Leisnre Hour" we have i gorgeous description of the great durbar at Lahore held by Sir John Lawrence on his arrival in India after his appointment as Crovernor-General. At that durbar—one of the most splendid and imposing event-: in Indian history—the Rajah cf Kup loorthala received from the hands of ths Jtovernor-General the Order of the Star of India ''in recognition of his distinguished services, as well as his personal worth." Little was it suspected how much the charms of aioang girl had determined ris oyalty and inspired his courage. The roung lady's father never returned to his lo.^ Bn' at the pledge had beeu faithfully ulnlled on the one side aad it was faithfully kept on the other ir-X2 uSib qaL?}. CH. as. e.,j&j9B;tefi& marriage being solemnised according to the ites of the Presbyterian Church, to which he parents belonged, as well as those of he religion of the rajah ; and the entrance if the young Ran6e into the territory of her msband was one of the utmost grandeur, ler presents being exhibited and her title-) proclaimed with every conceivable jomp and psgeantry. And for several fears the young Ran6e lived in the affection of her lord, and maintained an irreproach able influence in his State. But sbe was guilty ot an unpardonable sin ; she jore to him three daughters in succession, and not one son, and for this greatest of crimes she had to be sacrificed. Regard tor her safety compelled her flight and that if her little ones. Another took her place, :rom whom better things were hoped, ana tor the young wife and her children a pro vision by no means befitting a king was made by deed under the royal hand and seal. This deed of separation and divorce, bearing the strange hieroglyphics of the rajah and hi 3 durbar, was now produced in the Court of Mr Justice Kay, the defendant in the proceed ings beiDg a late trustee of the deed, who was alleged to have misapplied the trust money. The case was in itself devoid of interest, and no one could have imagined that it wa< She Fequel of a strange romance, or ihat the lady anxiously whispering to her solicitor, Mr Learoyd, had been the heroine of buch strange vicissitudes of [ortune.

An Exciting Journey.

Evkky Californian, very eatly in his talk with you, guesses that you have been up to \osemite. You reply, '• Well, no, I have not," He always says, " Ah, you should go ; must not leave California without see ing them." But when I questioned six of these natives one after another, I found that only one of them had ever been them himself. It is a five days' trip from San Francisco, and not entirely pleasant to some people. A good many miles of stage up and down the mountains have to be passed. i.arge open stagea with six horses, like an English brake, but with three eros« seats holding three each, in the body of the car riage, are preferred for the summer travel ling. One of our friends was going up to the Yosemitp. When he got to Merced Station for the hi age, he found a fat, white-faced micst was to be one of hia companions. This gentleman being out for a holiday, chafftd tliis and joked that man, and at last tried to take a rise out of the stage driver. They had not long started ; the t-ix blood horsea were.toiling up the first part of tbo ascent, and had dropped from their run into a walK. The driver was al3o owner of the stage and team—a tall, dried-up power ful Californian, intent on his -work, speak ing but little except to his horses, and set on getting through his long day's work, but proud of his coach and horses to the back bone.

'• Well, Mr Adams," said the priest, "is thiß all you can do for ua ? Wot much pace about this travelling. I always thought you gentlemen could drive, and your teams could go." Mr Adams cast one look over his shoulder from his box seat at the broad grinning face of the padre, who was comfortably seated on the forward cross seat below, nearest therefore to the driver, but he said not a word. Presently the priest tried again, but failed to get any reply from the grave, sober-looking driver. So they toiled up the mountain. Presently they stopped at a wayside inn, and some country woman got in. The ata^ driver is absolute master of the load ing at hiss conch, so he haaded the ladies in, O(U<1 signed to the priest to move on the back) seat overhanging the wheels, add the back! of the stage altogether. The laths

grumbled, but went. Some more folk wer picked uo on the road and pat into their places inside, and the priest was gradual!' tdeed into the last outside seat on ih right-hand or off-side.

After an hour or two zigzagging up, the' reachtd the top, the priest never ceasinj bis jokes, and small ones they were. Th horses stopped to breathe, and then pace< gently along the level at the top. The view opened out, and they saw the road twisting and turning down the stoe] grades below them, with a precipice him dreds of feet down to the valley below They could see miles of this before them and the road looked but a thread in the straight bit at the bottom. The passengers shook a little in their prospect, but Mr Adams remarked, generally, as he handled his " lines :"

" iVot much pace about this travelling you bet."

.The first turn in the grade came, anc the tail-end of the long coach swung rorfnt vehemently, the wheels Rkirring and grat ing on the stones hard locked. Every one winced, and the priest, having the ful bt-nnnt of the swine aud of the prospect down the mountain side, shrunk away anc shut his eyes. Presently Mr Adams shook up his six bays, aud threw his long lash amung them with a smack. The horses bounded a* if traces aud reins must alike go, and down they tkated, stones flying, brakes creaking, wheels striking a chain of sparks, and the heavy coach swayiog at every turn of the zigzag, till the off hind wheel, with the fat priest above it, fairly overhung the precipice below, 'l he women cried out, the men shivered, the priest let go tha side of the coach to clasp his hands, with his eyes turned to the skies, and his white lips mutter ing rapid prayers to all the >aiuts in the calendar. Down they went, faster and faster, till the horses were at a rapid gallop, a,nd tha noise, an 4 rattle, and dust, andstones flying, nearly drove everything wild. Mr Adams sat unmoved, except to ply h-s brake with his right foot harder and harder, till the hind wheels were absolutely locked, and jumped, and skidded till it seemed as if wood, leather, and iron could never stand the strain.

The priest turned sickly, ghastly white, 3xpecting each moment to be his last ; but the pace round the turns kept them on the road, and they gained the bottom safely, a sorely bruised and shaken and frightened crew. '

rts the horses dropped into a gentle trot Mr Adams looked back once again and quietly remarked, •'Sometimes we kin get a pace on this road."

A Story of a Lottery Ticket.

Tub story was told by one who had been cognisant of every circumstance he re ated.

He went out to New Orleans as agent or a travelling exhibition. He had got as ar as that city when the concern burst up, eavin? him on his oars, and in pretty shoal water. However, ne was not the man to remain idle. He cast about him or something to do, and soon struck a ottery office-a branch of a Bavana fconee —where a faithful clerk was wanted. The aay for drawing was near at hand and business was driving. Dan had been at work at his desk but a nort time when to him appeared a pale ac^fJt.JojcioraJookinri woman, who had lad come to want, aud could not Veep hn ihe had selected the date of the year of ler husband's death for the number, having .reamed, sue said, that that number would iraw one of the graud prizes. The number vas 1347. She asked £>au if he would sell t for her. He took it and sold it, and on tie following day, when the woman called gain, he handed her the ten dollars in all, deducting no commission for himself. ■she thanked him heartily, and went her way.

The man to whom our clerk had sold the iefcot was a bar-tender at a saloon on the and he, a day or two later, being n need of ten dollars, offered'it first for tale to a dry goods clerk, who was in the labit of dropping iD, assuriLg him that it wait sare to draw a prize. A poor widow >ad been warned by a dream of the lucky number, and had bought the ticket, but iad been unable to keep it. lhe clerk, lowever, though he had ten dollars with lim, would not purchase it.

An hour or two later, another dry-goods clerk came in, and he bought the ticket. [n due course of time, the budget from Uavana arrived, bringing the result of the drawing, acd ticket No. 1847 had drawn §20,000 !

And now catne the grand result to those who hud to do with that ticket.

Tr,e poor widow who had originally pur chased it from the company believed that the had been punished for betraying the uuseen spirit that had come to her in her dream, and In the depth of her grief—in distress for her loss—=he took a fatal dose of poison.

The bat-tender of the Levee, who had owned it and sold it, fretted himself into a (ever, and, from the fever and over-drink- Lng, died within two weeks.

The unfortunate dry goods clerk, •to whom the ticket had been offered, and who had refused to purchase, felt that he had lost twenty thousand dollars, and in sorrow and chagrin he sought to bury his remembrance in drink, and was last seen an outcast and a beggar, without home or friends.

Aud lastly, the other dry goods clerk, who had purchased the lucky ticket, and who drew the fortune which it brought him, lost bia bead, tkreie up his clerkship, launched out into a course of conviviality lud debauchery, aud was fast sinking into the slough of despond wbea our friend gave up his clerkship in the lottery office and left the Crescent City. So much for one lottery ticket. And the story is not an exaggeration. It is a logical sequence ; cause and tffect not at all to be wondered at.

A Practical Joker Punished.

So.yck years ago there were a number of army officers stopping at a hotel in Wash iugton. Among them were a Captain Emerson and a Captain Jonee. Emerson and Jones used to bave a good deal of fun together at the table and elsewhere. One day, at the dinner-table, when the dining hall was well filled, Captain Jones finished his dinner first, got up, ami walked almost to the dining-hall door, when Emerson called to him in a loud voice—"Hallo, Captain I See here; I want to apeak to you a minute." 'ihe captain turned and walked back to the table, and bent over him, when Emerson whispered, "I wanted to ask you how far you would have gone if I had not spoken to you." The captain never changed a muscle, but straightened up and put his fingers into his vest pocket, and said, so that all could hear him, " Captain Kmerson, I don't know of a man in tue world I would rather lend five dollars to than you; but the fact is I haven't a cent with me to-day;" and he turned on his heel and walked away. Emerson was the colour of half-a-dozen rainbows; but he had to si and it.
