An imago of the objei remains ; it becomes , in fact , visible to th closeel eyes. The vividness and duratio of such impression vary considerably wit different individuals , and the power of ri taiuing them may be cultivated. Uewte ; this sort of retinal imago thiw impressee there is another kind of visual imago th : : may bo obtained by an clVort of mcmor ; Certain adepts of mental arithmetic UH the "mind's eye" as a substitute for slat and pencil by holding in visual memor pictures of the figures upon which the are operating , and these of their result * In my youthful days I .was accinaintc with an eccentric old man , who then live at Kilburn Priory , where bo tmrrounde himself with curious old furniture , rcpu ed to have originally Lslonged to Cardinal Wolsey , and which , as I was told , he be- qucatfhcd to the Queen at his death. Ho was the then celebrated , but now forgotten , "Memory Thompson , " who , in his early days , was a town traveler ( for n brewery , if I remember rightly , ) and who trained him self to the performance of wonderful feats of eye memory. Ho could close his eyes And picture within him&cif a panorama of Oxford street and other parts of London , in which picture every inscription over every shop was so perfect and reliable that ho could describe and certify totlQ } names and occupations of tlio shopkccping inhab itants of all the houses of these streets at certain dates , when .postofllco , directory's were not as they now arc. Although Memory Thompson is forgotten , his special faculty isi just now receiving some atten tion'and , It is proposed to specially culti vate it in elementary schools by placing objects before the pupils fora given time , then taking them away and requiring the pupil to draw them. That such a faculty exists and may be of great service is un questionable. Systematic efforts to educate it , if successful , will do good service to the rising generation ; and , even should the proposed training afford smaller rcsultb than its projectors anticipate , the experi ments , if carefully made ami registered cannot full to improve our knowledge ot mental physiology.

Aiiu-iican pcieutistfi are again ellscuwiing /ho c > e > unection alleged to evrist between the operations of railway * and tbe amount of rainfall , it is regarded as u lemarkable fact that before railways were extended to the Paciilc , ilio country lying between tbe Bicrm Nevada and Uoeky Mountains was subject to an almost continuous thought. Since then , however , the country has been vieitcil with frequent falls of r.tin. What produced the change V is the iiucNtion. Some Miggest that it is duo to a change in the electrical state of the atmosphere , pro duced by the conduction oftho subtle tlttiil into tbe region by the Iron mils. Others assert that it is ejiinsed by the atmospheric ) disturbance * arising from the frequent passing and repahslngof trulim. It is shown that up to 18.14 the Uniteel States had been periodically visited by great and general droughts , blit ulnce that year there has been no Hiicb visitation ; or , in other words , that the building of uuch uast network of railways as has been constructed in the vwst quarter of u century has had tlio ef fect of promoting the fall of rain. Since the general introduction of railways in Kuropo , also , then ) has been no dieuight inch ns previously at short intervals caused -.videHprouil clistrvHS. In the cii > ci of Eng land it is remarked that although the cli mate has been always humid there has been a growing excess of rainfall during the period of railway building , until now ilio gets far more than is bcucflcial to the crops ) . This has been noticeable to tin almost alarming degree in the post few years. We give these conclusions for what they may bo worth , ami merely as showing the elrll * of current discussion ou this point. Ini mrllH-H' In Ice. The popular delusion that wute-r in Ih nioce&s of frccxlng somehow eliminates mr Impurity it may contain , or that the vital ity of animal or vegetable germs is destieiy eel by tbe cold , is now -v cry generally ex ploeleel. An American naturalist has been micro scopically 1'xaminiiiK fragments of icotaker from vaiIons canals and polieK lie tewk only Biieh specimens as appeared clean , and were quite tniuspaieut to the e-ye. C melting them and subjecting to magnify ing powers , varying up to nine hundred diameters , ho Kiys that M-getable tissue and coufervoiel growth wcie in most cases eib * ? ervable at once , lie found no instance in which luiinmlcultu werepicscnt In an active state after freezing , but after beingallowed to stand fma while in u moderate tempera ture , the water pre.-cnted monads w IIOHP movements wcio easily distinguished with a magnifying power of from twohun- dred to four bundled diameters. After a while , conferva ) weio observed growing and taking form similar to the nests occupied by the young of the Parameclum , common in stagnant water. Tlio result of the ob servations is to prove beyond question that freezing does not lu any way eliminate impurity or prevent the subsequent devel opment of animal or vegetable geni , . * This is merely a conllrmutinn of what has already been averted and proved be fore , but the matter is of Midi impoitance that it is not likely to he argued with un necessary fiequeney. Many piiM : > ns who will look askance at a glass of nntlltcrcd water will not hesitate to cool their drink by dropping a , knob ice into it. That from ponds and canals is , of course , ostensibly gathered for non-dietetic purposes ; but it is to bo feared that in hot weather ice is ice , nnd that much risk of mischief isoftcu incurred. London Hlnl ? . The Origin of Familial * Words. The word "quiz" to make fun of , or poke [ bu at a person , was the coinage of a theat rical mnuuger in Dublin , who at a drlnk- lus party with .his friends one Saturday night , when the conversation turned upon tho' subject of words , offered to bet' ' the wine that ho could then and there coin a Word which would IMJ in the mouths of all Dublin the next day * The bet being taken and the party dispersed , the manager called up his call-boys and runners , gave them pieces of chalk , and ordered them to run all over the city , chalking \vord"quiz" on everybody's shutter and fence they came to. This was done , and us a matter of course , the new word was In everybody's mouth the next day. Tlio manager Avon his bet , nnd his word is now in all respect able dictionaries. The slung expression for death , "kicking the bucket. " had its origin from one Bolso- ver , who , in England a gieat while ago committed suicide by standing on a buck et till ho kicked the bucket from under him. him.Tho The word "bumper , " meaning a furl drink when friends are drinking , is a cor ruption of the toast offered to the Pope , when the Catholic religion was in the as cendant in England ati ion jierc. To "dun , " to prcas for money duo , comes from one .Too Dunn , a famous bailiff of Lincoln , in England , during the reign of Henry VII. Ho was so uncommonly sud- ccssful in collecting that when a man re fused to pay , the creditor was asked why ho didn't Dunn him. . "Humbug , " is a corruption of the Irish word fiw boy , pronounced oombug , signify ing soft copper , or brass or worthless money , such as was mnda by James 11. , at thu Dublin mint twenty shillings of which was worthier coin , the words became the general title of anyting false or counterfeit. ThoBign "VIK" signifying to-wit , or name ly , is an abbreviation of viilclicH : but tbo third letter was the mark lined in modi- uino'forn dnicbm , which in writing much resembles x , and in "vlz."was simply lined as a mark or bign of Abbreviation.

" In treating these cases the first object in view musr bo to improve the general condition of the pa tient.

My Idea of a guano inland hod always oecn that it was v cry rocky , and covered with a white substance resembling mortar before the wind id mixed with it. 1 imag ined , ioo , that , it exhaled an odor different Homewlinl from the orange gtoves of Tahiti. Had I not bccu told that 1 was on a gunno island , I would not have known it from the surroundings. Instead of being rocky the soil was mellow and dark , and every where vegetation was most luxuriant. The air was remarkably clear and puie. Dur ing a walk around the Island i then learn ed tliat there am two kinds of guano ; or. rather , that of cei tain qualities which all guano possesses , some of these qualities predominate In that found in a given local- ify , while gtinno taken from islands dillcr- eutly located possesses in a much stiongcr degree some other essentials. Thus tin of the coasts of South America , exposed to the rays of a tropical sun , where the sur face of tlio surface of the land is never cooled , and where rain seldom or uc falls , possesses the strangest ammonia properties. Not only are the cxcretioni , A lilrilH deposited there , but the birds them selves come there to die ; and eggs have frequently been taken out a little below the crusts which form over these deposits thai are almost pure ammonia. The guano of these islands has n strong , pungent odorand is white and light brown In color. But the guano of the Islands > nf the Southern Pacific Is made up of decom posed coral , forming mostly phosphates ifr llmo and magnesia. It Is entirely Inodor ous , and of a dark brown color , resembling > well pulverized loam. It is belieyed that the birds , which in ing large numbers Inhabit these Islands , living > ns they do almost entirely on fish , deposit phosphoric acid on the coral , and thus form the phosphates which give to guano its value. It is separated from the coral In the llf lowing manner : Theie mo quite a force of natives employed , wh gather the earth in largo heaps , and then screen it in thu same manner tiutt tine coal is separated from the coarse. The screw , ! * are about eight feet by three , and the lion gauze covering them is flnc , allow ! ig only the gunno or fine portions tions of the ciith to pass through , and leaving the coral in the screens. The gu- nno is then oickwl and shipped. The ( Mi- furnian.

The number of colored persons to each 100,000 whites is IfylKl , against UMH , in 1870. The greatest pro portion of colored to white is in South Carolina , where three-Units of the. whole are colored ; in Louisiana nnd Mississippi half lothice-liniis arc colored ; in Alabama , District of Columbia , Florida , CJeorgin , North Carolina ami Virginia the colored form one-third to half the total ; in Aikan- sas and Tennessee , a fourth to a thlul. The least puiportion among the former slave stales is in Wcvt Virginia , where there are but l.tt.Vi to 100,000 whites , and in Missou ri , where there are butT.lOH. Outside ol the former slave states tlio proportion ol negroes Isvery small. Between 1870 and liteO. in the rnited States as a whole , there has been a gain of ( lf : ! > colored on nn asmim * eel basis of 100,000 whites. Ureat relative gains during the decade ha e apparently been made in the Southern or former slave holding states. Of nine of the states which gained , eight stand at the head of the list , having iifkdo relative Rains of Ot-l to nearly 11,000. It is believed by the census ofllccrs , however , thnt these apparent gains nre due , In a grcnt measure , to the imperfections of the census of 1870. Of the former slave- states which have lost , Texas and Florida lead. Both of these states received heavy white immigration , which more than over balanced whatever gain in the colored pop ulation may have been made. The move1 mcntof blacks in the Northern and West- comparative account. The migration of negroes has not attained such dimensions on to bo perceptible he-re. The states from Which the exodus principally took place1 , Mississippi , Louisiana ami North Carolina , have all apparently gained heavily in the relative ) proportion of blacks , while Kansas , to which the major part wcntvha.s lost in proportion to the increase of population. Indiana lias gained slightly. The number if Asiatics in the United States is 1 < > . - > ,717 ; Indians , 05,123. The Indians in tribal u- lations under the caio of the tio\ eminent not included. I ttinii All explosions of petroleum Inmps are caused by the vapor or gas that e'olle-ets above the oil. Of course n lump contains no gns , hut immediately on lighting the lamp consumption of oil begins , MIOII leav ing a space for gas , which eominence-s to form as the lamp warms up , and after burning a short time sufllcient gas will ac cumulate to form nn explosion. The ) gns in n lamp will only explode when ignited. 411 this respect it ia like gunpowder. Cheaper or inferior oil la always the most danger ous The flame is communicated to the cas in the following manner : The wick tube in the lamp burner is made larger than the wick which is to pass through it. It would not do to have the wick work tightly in the burner ; on the contrary , it is essential that it move up and down with perfect case. In this way it is unavoidable thut space in the tube is left along the side of the wick Hiifllclenl for the flame from the burner to pnss down into the lamp and ex- plexlo the gun. Many thingVoccur to cause the flame to pass down the wick and ex plode the lamp. L A lamp may be stand ing on the table or mantle , and a slight puft" of air from the open window or door may ciiuso nn explosion. 2. A lamp may he taken up quickly from n tnblu nnd ex plode instantly. : t. A lam ] ) is taken into the entry where there is a draught , or out of doors , and an explosion ensues , -I. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of stairs , or is raised quickly to place it on the man tle , resulting In nn explosion. . In thesein- stnnoes the mischief is done by thu air movement , cither by suddenly checking th. draught or forcing air down the chimney against the flame. 5. Blowing down the chimney to extinguish the flnmi ! is > n fre quent cause of explosion , ( i. Lump explo sions have been caused by using a chimney broken oll'at the top or that hnu n piece broken out.of t ho Hide , whereby the draught IH variable and the flame unsteady. 7. Some times a thoughtless person puts a small wic.k Into a Inrg6 burner , thus leaving con- ftlderablo Hpnco along the edges of the wick. 8.An old burner , with its air-draughts cloH\'d up , which rightfully should ta thrown away , is sometimes continued in ue und the final result is an explosion.
