During the Courses of this lecture, Professor Barker ex- hibited to the society a specimen of this me caney shower which had been sent hint by a friend. The specimen shown in the phial. was of a uniform black color, much resemb- ling common black writing fluid. Dr. Barker found, however, that after allowing it to stand, for a short period, the black coloring wetter separated from he water with which it had mixed, rendering the con or of the rainwater muck lighter, but stilt dark enough to be called "black rain." The shower, which was in broad daylight, was preceded with a darkness so demos as to maks it impossible for one to read without the aid of a candle. After this darkness continued for some time, a hailstorm set in, attended 'with vivid lightning, but without the least .ssemblance of thueder. When One hailstorm e was over the black rain began to fait On examination of the rain immediately after a the storm was aver, it was found to have an extremely foetid smell, as well as a very t•S disagreeable'tssete.

Something similar to this occurred in the mines of the Swanton Coal Company at Berton, Ude several years ago. Anthony.

The rare and was taken to the home of Mr. Rehs, but soon died, but was ethane and is now in the lucky finder's posseaaion.

By a, lemon of the growing scat -city of coal, Mr. ig Atkinson says, and the increased cost of try mining, owing to greater depths reached il .and the smaller seams worked, the increase as in the Coat of coal has amounted to $6,500,- A or that used by the British railways m se ft single year. In many mines, Mr. Atkin. w 1 son goes on to say, the larger veins have e polled. to fall back on nine-iuels veins previ- j c been driven so deep thse, they can be work - at no longer, and the compenies are com- a. ously passed. The price of coal in London a and to all the factories has greatly increased. ts In the metier of oohing coals, steed for the o production of steel, the situation is describ- e ed as scrim, es the Supply is approaching it exhaustion. The Durham mines, where the coal is produced, are 2,000 feet deep, and the temperature at that depth is HA degrees. Even then the veins are only two feet thick. and the price of coke for steel -making is, in consequence, $5 a ton, against n, Len in time Pocahontas region of Virginia and 81.25 at ..leConeellsville, Pa, Alt these things have driveu British manufacturers to looking into appliances for economizing fuel by noncons ducting furnace settings and complete com- bustion of fuel, which are not evencnnsider. ed. in thiscountey. If this is a true picture of the condition of affairs in Great Britain, says the Baltimore See, it may well cause alarm and. even consternation among her people. Per it is well known that the Island CA n produce only a small portion of the nesessary food supply fur the people, and the only way the people can lie fed is by ex- changing the products of the factories for the bread and. meat of other countries, Mr. Atkinson's report differs widely from that of Richard Mimic, assistant keeper of milling records for Great Britain, issued ten years ago, end which may still be referred to with confi4enee. The teeth:diva of the British coal interests are iu the hands of the government, anti collected anti com- piled by avientifie exports, and are there- fore more reliable than any we Innes ou this side of the ocean. The total area of the cal field, of the United Kingdom is 7,876 square miles, of which 2,082 are in England, 1,274 in Wales 0 , 1.7e0 in Scotland, and 2,801) in Ireland. 8 These fields eon tamed in 1880, wording to 0 Mr. Meade's estimate, nearly 150,000,000,. t 000 tons of even/tine coal, A qaantity midi- , drum, to supply the country tor MO yobs at t Adam's Foot -print. Mount Samauala, or Adam's Peak, one of the highest mountains on the Island of Ceylon is the scene of a remarkable "e° - logical formation and the spot around which many curious legends and superstitions cluster. According to the Mohammeden story, Adam, atter the fall and expalsien front the Garden of Eden, was taken by an angel to the top of the mountain, which now hears his name. From its summit the mind's eye of the first man saw all the ills which in after years should afflict human- ity. These harrowing sights were such a weight upon the man, who, notwithstanding his sin in the Garden, seas yet a good man, that his foot left his imprint upon the solid en rock; his tears forming a lake, the foot. cit print and lake being both still visible. The n footprint itself is fie feet long be, 2t feet rs wide and shows six perfect toes, the small- er er one hieing as large es a good sized man's d. list. For centuries devout J'ituldhiats have cc made annual pilgrimages to the spat, and tradition says that the chain bridge across me the canyon near the sacred footprint was y, put there by direction of Alexander the me Great. The Smallest Steam Engine. Curiosities About About Fire. According to Pliny, that rare old gossip who lived and wrote atabout the beginning -tof our era, fire VMS an element for ages un- known to some of the ancient Egyptian tribes; anti, when a celebrated astronome made them acquainted with its use, and how to produce it, they wore wild with delight. The Persians, Ithemielans, Greeks and several other nations acknowledge that their ancestors were once without the cent forts which fire bestows ; The Chinese eon - fees the same of their progenitors. Pompanian, ola, Plutarch and other ancient writers speak of nations which, at to time when they wrote, knew net the use of fire, or had but recently. learned it. The inhabitants. of the alarmati Iolanda, which were discovered as late as 1;151, bad no idea. of fire or its uses. Their astonish., tient knew no bounds when they saw it ap- plied to wood; menet' them supposing it to be sonic kind of an animal which the sailors bad brought whits/Ilene and which must be fed on wood! Tosthis day they designate it by a term which signifies " wood -eater," Women With Beards - Bearded women have existed at all pe- riods of the world's history. Even Here - dotes, the " Father of History," gives us all account of one Pedasnes, who lived above Halicarnassus," a. priestess of Miner- va, whose chin regularly budded with a large beard, whenever any great public calamity impended. See Herodotus Book I., page 75. Bartel learetji, a woman of Copenhagen, had a beard reaching to her waist. Charles XII of Sweden, had a fe- male grenadier in his army who possessed the beard as well as the courage of a man. Margaret, Duchess of Austria and Gover- ness of the Netherlands, had a large, wiry, stiff beard, of which she was very proud. Of bite years, Albert, Duke of Bavaria, re- ports having had it young lady in his house- hold who was " the proud possessor of a very large black hearzL" --- Egg Superstitions. The ancient Finns believed that a mystic bird laid an egg on the lap of Vatmainon, who was to hatch it in his bosom. But he let it fall and it broke, the lower portion of the sl -ell forming the earth, the tipper the sky ; the liquid white became the moon and the yelk the sun, while the little fragments of broken shell were transformed into stars. English and Irish mothers tell their chil- dren to push their spoons through the bot- tom of egg shells after finishing their meal, "or else the witbhes will make boats of them." In Fraejme a similar custom pre- vails, but, the reason assigned is that, the ..magicians formerly used egg shells in con- cocting their diabolical witcheries. Cabinet of Little Curios.

It was east, in 1732. partly from fragments of another great bell called " the Giant," whieli was broken in the early part of the seventeenth century, by falling from its support. " The (sleet," although not as large as the "King of Bells," was neverthe- less, no pigniy, for we are told that it weighed no less than 288,00d pounds, and took the combined strength of twenty-four men to ring it. The " King of Bells,"Iike its predecessor, had the misfortune to he broken five years after it, was east by falling timbers and pillars during the great fire of 1737, The bell is now upon the ground, the broken place in the side beim., as large as a good sized been door. The bell itself is large enough for a dwelling house, being 19 feet and 3 inches in height and 60 feet and 9 inches around the margin t This monster of monsters weighs 443,782 pounds ! It is said that, an enormous amount of gold by some authorities estimated at over a ton was by accident incorporated into its composition. Russia is well in the lead in this matter of great bells, Moscow also claiming the second largest one in the world, the great St Ivan which weighs 127,830 pounds, over thirteen times as much as any bell in America and six times as much as the largest bell on St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome. St. Ivan is 16 inches thick and 40 feet in cir- cumference at the point where the hammer strikes. It is made of the best of bellmetal, and is said to be the finest tuned bell in existence, and so sensitive that a tap upon it, with a lead pencil can be plainly heard at a distance of a hundred yards. Field of the Forty Footsteps, Southampton Fields, known to the cur- iosity seekers of the wotld as "The Field of the Forty Footsteps," is a small plot of ground lying directly to the rear ot the British Museum, London. Tradition says that two brothers, Some time during the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion, engaged in a deadly duel upon this little piece of vacant grouude Both were killed. When the grass began to grow in the following Spring, there were forty dead patches in it corre- sponding exactly in shape and size to impres- sions left by human feet; superstitious people said that they were the last steps taken by the brothers before exchanging the fatal shots, To this day the place is known by tab name given in the headlines of this article. " Do you believe in the transmigration of soils, Joe?" " What's that, sir?" " Why, for instance, that that cow has had &prior ex istence in another form -perhaps been a being like myself." " Oh no doubt the cow's been a calf." The increase or decrease of population by natural or artificial causes, and the theta.; bution of mankind over different parts of Limo globe are the dominant factors of the history and condition of the human rtee The rise and fall of nations and of empires, the progress or decline of civilization, and the dondnation of man over the uncultivat- ed parts of the earth, are all duo to the waves of population which are driven by various causes to new scenes of existence and new seats of power. These tidal move. meets of humanity have occurred over and over again at many periods of t ho world's history, but with great irregularity. There have beeu times when the increase of popu- lation has been slow and its habits sedent- my. There have been times when the , whole human ewe seems to have been in motion, driven by :wine mysterious impulse to seek new lauds to cultivate anti new homes. If the progress of population haul been continuous front the remote periods of an thi- ilit•Y, it is evident that the numbers of mankind would be much greater than they are, and the globe would ho already ovor- stoeked with human beings, But other causes, not lees mysterious ni their opera- tion, have checked that progress. Many of the populous countries of antiquity here become depopulated and apparently mumble , to support life. It is uncertain whether at j the present moment, the population of the • globe is greater than it. was two or three thousand years ago. There is congestion in IEurope, in India, and in China; there are immmerable tribes in Central Africa on whom even the slave trade makes no per- eeptible impression. But the vast plains of i Asia, which swarmed with men raider the !Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Em- pires, are deserted. The civilization of Europe is no longer threatened by the East- ern hordes whim swept over the Roman Empire in the earlier centuries of the Christian era. But that prodigious migra- tion laid the foandetion of the States of modern Europe. THE SPREAD OF ENGLISH. Signs That At i Beeoutitcr the Literary Language. In 100 years the United. States will probab- ly have as many inhabitants es China, and it is not likely that Canada, Australia, New 'Zealand and the Cape will fall remelt short of half their total, especially if England be reckoned with them. Some have indeed been found to maintain that English will not be the language of the whole, even of the United States, while others point to the vigorous vitality of the French spoken by the French Canadians and time recrudescence of the Welsh in the British Islands its hints that languages die hard. But it is impossible to suppose that such considerations can effect the main question. There are already signs that English is becoming the literary language of Europe. Prof. Vambery, a Hungarian, published his autobiography first in English dress. The Dutch author of "The Sin of Joest Aveling" wrote his novel, "An Old Maid," in Eng- lish, and the author of "The Crustacea of Norway," himself presumably a Norwegian, frankly owns in his advertisement that to Obtain the largest possible circulation for his book it will be issued in the English language. - Couldn't Wear Carlyle's The room where Carlyle first saw the light is fitted up with his writing table and various articles of furniture from Cheyne - row.
