A Vim ;llnipe of a Mighty and OTya- Irrloua Haiice-.tlont llemarkalilo mountain Veal on Record. Mr. Clement Miirklmm must forgive lis for borrowing his admirable title, but no other words can so fitly describe that part of tho earth which was readied last vearby Mr. V. W. Graham, tho Hima layan traveler, who described ins re markable journey in a paper read before itho Geographical Society last week. Mr. Graham nindo sovoral ctraordi- nary asecnls.and in the greatest of these reached a point higher by seventeen hundred feet than had ever beforo been attained on the earth's surface. Ho howcd that mon, or at all events some men, can breath and climb with perfect caso at a height at which It lias been penerally thought that respiration must be impeded and much oppression felt; and, standing near the threshold of that than that mountain, they mast in real unexplored and previously tinnp- ity be considerably higl'ier.

Now it is scarcely possiblo to doubt that this inner ratiM Is in the main higher than what wo know as tho Himalayas; and, although it may not bo absolutely certain, it is, to say the least, extremely probable that some of its peaks aro higher than tho loftiest of the outer chain, that higher peaks than any yet measured might be fun ml north of Mount Everest occurred some time ago to General Thulller, and there havo been other surmises as to their existence, and even vague statements of wonderful summits haying been seen; but until Mr. (iraham s expedition nothing was known respecting those supremo moun tains tlmt could, in the Widest sen so of the word, bo called definite. That trav eler, as need hardly bo said, made no attempt to reach tho unknown rango; and indeed, to do so with Nnpal anil Thibet closed, a they are now, would be almost Impossible. His object was to explore and ascend some of the higher Himnlayas, and it was in tho course of his exploration that ho drew near to the threshold of tho unknown region, and at a great height saw a second and higher range with two sum mils, to all seeming loftier than Mount Everest. How long it may be lofore env traveler reaches even tho foot of one of them it is impossible to say; but in gelling wen wiimu sigm oi uiem air, tiraham lias done more than any one has ever done before, and it would be difficult to tiud in modern travel an in c dent more stnkim than this lirst glimpse of tho heart of the mighty and mysterious rongf. The ascent of Kabru, from which he saw these . uminlta, was the last which he made in the Himalayas, and was in deed the culminating feat of his expodi tion. Tho previous part of it, however. had been full of interest, and the trav eler certainly showed great enterprise aud eourago, and very remarkable jmjw ers of enthiraneo. His first ascent was made In Sikkim, where, starting from the summit of the Kangla l'ass, leading into Napal, ho made this first attack on tho Himalayas, ascending a peak which lie estimated as being over twenty thou uiai wiuen nas niiiiorio oeen supnoscu an Indian survey to the point from to bo tho highest peak in tho world, but which ho could observo the rango, feel roust now, to ubo the graceful American inr certain as to the result of observa- sand feet high. After this he reached . the great glacier which flows east from Kangvhinjanja, and then he returned to lowerground. His next exploit was in Ku- moan, whither he went with tho famous Grindelwald mountaineer, Herr Emil Doss, and the cxccllcut guide, Ulrich Kautl'mann, to aid him. In his first at tempt in this direction he failed, but failed magnlhcently, as on Uuuagiri, 23,1.1b leet high, ho reached an elora tion of quite 2:f,700 feet In-fore a pitiless ftorm made turther progress impossible, Such a height hail never been attained on the carta a surface betore, and, ac cording to commonly accepted beliefs, the climbers should hare suffered great ly from the rarity of tho air. It ap pears, however, that they did not suffer I at all. Air. iira.n.ini says that bead aches, nausea, bleeding at the nose and temporary loss of sight and hearing -.vwcro conspicuous only by their absence, i and that tho only onrau" pereentiblv af fected was the heart, of which tho Leat- ing became miito audible. This state- i went, to which wo have before draw n attention, excited considerable surprise lA at the l.oyal I. eogra pineal Society w hen . he read his paper there; but there can bo no doub as to its amir .y. and pos- sibly there is one fact h hcrto unm t,ced "I ...... : ' . ... .. .fi-.:i I'l .1 lit'tl HI VU V 1 1 hi i in ' ohm i ' . ...!. i .. ,-;:...! ,. . mt.lu V I lUlH lllO till UlVM (til f uu limit ii 2t-t!ai8 bo grew quito aoctistomea I, .... h..tisi tn, ill, 1.1 Mr .rahum and his companions had to -rooa extremely arduous passes, with !s as high as eighteen thousand feet U) 'yi!i to thiir mountains. They were, n rep een therefore, tliorotiorhlv trained, and, to certain extent, inured to tlio effect of thin nil. At the same time it lit now obvious tlmt the universal effect of tli air on the human frame has been much exurrrcrateii; that, nt altitudes wliero it lion been hitherto thought that any one must Icel moHt lalut ana weak, youn and really utrong men cati do hur work; and that indisputable fact has very roughly shaken hypothesis--we bad almoht suul theory on tins subject. Alter this attempt on jJunajrirl, Mr, Graham ascended a peak 22,515 feet blcrh. and got to tho loot of ana uevi, ,but was prevented from trying it by the misconduct of big coolies, who deserted jbiin, and by tho hideous difficulty of tho gorge at its base. He left Kuniaon and litter on, in the autumn of the year, revisited Sikkim, where, alter ascou lng Gubonu, 21,300 feet high, he and .his companions accomplished what is, by a considerable degree, the most re markable mountain on record, as they reached tho summit of . Kabru, wine according to tho trigonometrical survey of India, is 21, KM feet above the lev of the sea. Marvelous, however, their achievement was, the ascent of the mountain is nut, to our mind, so re markable as the view to which it gave them of tho unknown region. (u the lower summit, ''.,700 feet high, ami onlv 6,:)00 feet, therefore, below Moun Kvercst, they were able to see over it northern shoulder mountain tops wlii its huge spurs had previously hidde from all others. At this point Mr. Gra ham pointed out Kvercst to Kniil Doss as the highest mountain in tho world. "That cannot be," said Doss, "those are higher" pointing to two peaks which towered far above tho secoud and more distant rango, and showed over the northern slope of Everest. Lookin. carefully, tho two acreed. Of course, all three may have been wrong, but it is extremely impossible that such prac tlced observers wore wrong, and moro- over, as the peaks were farther off than Mount Everest, if they seemed higher hits no doubt whatever on the subject. and that ho should be clad to conduct . . " . . tion. There can then be no real ground for hesitation in accepting Mr. Gra- ham's statement, and very striking aro tho results of his expedition In the lfima- lavas. He and his companions trot into the very heart of the chain, and made, tinder circumstances of considerable difiiculty, sumo daring aud most re. niarkablo expeditions, and, having ap proached the threshold of tho unknown region, they saw tho great peaks of the highest rango on tho sunaco oi the earth, concerning which wo know at present considerably Jess than we do of tho mountains in tho moon. Saturday Jkitcw, Forest Destruction. Tho London Times in its mention of tho recent International Forestry Kxhi bltion sav8 that centuries will hardly re pair the havoc wrought by lift y years of unrestrainod arboncide on the Alps, tho rvronees, the Appenincs, m Scot land, Ireland, Denmark and North America. Half Spain has been reduced to s parched desert by tho insanity, though oi longer standing than this sin gle century, which denuded its sierras of their shade. Italy totters on the brink of a similar fate as tho result of moro recent folly. Ireland, as was lately explained, has been impoverished Ity tho destruction oi sheltering foliage. at tracts of Jutland have been changed into heathery wastes by the felling of the pines. In North America, settlers acted as if timber was a me incumbrance and obstruction, Since it has been admitted to bo commercially of value, its fortunu has been ulmo: worse. Ihe population has regarded its forests as a mine of which the proper ilestinv was to bo straightway severed from tho soil. For tweuty years after the appropriation of California by the United States, tho hatchet raged with fury against tho noblest woods in the universe. In delianco of laws it contin ues vindictive attacks. Fear for the supply of fuel brought the first pause lu the devastation of huropc. frenchmen and licruians began to bo alarmed that cutting without plaining must end m nothing to burn, lu this country, which couM dispense with wood as fuel, a similar return to com mon sense proceeded from a discovery that soil Incapable of agriculture might give a profit as woodlaud. Only grad ually has the more important discovery been made, or popularized, that trees may be in the highest decree profitable though they bo neither timber or fuel, A mass of irrefutable evidence has dem onstrsted that trees play a part in the economy of naturo for which no euual substitute can be found. Coal may sup plant wood as fuel, lrou may replace teak and pine in shipyards. Danish peasants may do without wooden clogs. and authors may learn to dip their pens in other gall than that from the oak. Nature very seldom arrives at an dlect in ono way without leaving room for human Ingenuity to accomplish it in auother. Somo natural pro cesses are at once so beneficent and so complex that for man uot to avail him self of them as they are Is to saenhc irretrievably the most manifest advant age. .Nature tits up in every wood a per fect laboratory auxilary to tho ends for w inch the farmer labors. Agriculture, which strips a country of wood, con demns itself to the i,icrlluous cost of trying, with a success at best onlv par tial, to create artificial alternatives. l'ht Laputan condensers of sunbeams out of cucumbers were not more foolish than the exterminators in tho Old World and tho New of the rcgvtablo reservoir oth orwisestvled forests.

Dr. Morell Mackenzie, In anintero-it-Ing pamphlet, eplains tho true origin and nature of that mysterious ailment, hay fever, as being essentially nothing more than pollen poison. OI course, such nolsoninir dillers immensely from infection by bacterial germs, because the floating pollen of the air does not iiieroaso and ruumpiy in me nuinan system, as they do; it merely sets up irritation of the mucous membrane, giving rise to catarrh and asthma. Dot the two cases have this much at least in common that the origin of the disease has been traced in either instance to definite external cause, in living germs or spores, and that by avoidance of this cause we may reasonably hope to bring the malady under proper control, if not to extirpate it altogether. Tho theory that hay fever Is duo to the pollen of grasses Is no new one. On tho contrary, it has for somo timo been growing in favor with pathologists, and Dr. . Mackenzie I able exposition may bo looked upon rather as the conclu sivo vindication of the pollen hypothe sis than as the first statement of a new truth. Indeed, as long as hay fever lias been known at all, tho popular name by which it is familiarly called has associated it with tho tlowenng time of tho ordinary meadow grasses; though tho irritation has generally been ascribed rather to tho odor of sweet vernal grass and scented holcus than to the distinctive action oi the pot len itself. The latter species is tin known iu English meadows, but sweet vernal grass is familiar to most of us as the peculiar spiky plant to which now mown hay owes with us the whole of It delicious fragrance. tiu nay lever, liko inllucnza or cholera, did not occur in Europe, according to Dr. Mackenzie, in "tho good old times" (whenever that may be) or if it did occur it was over looked in the multiplicity oi medieval diseases. As tho complaint doe. not actually kill, it may havo been consid ered unworthy sorious attention in the days of the Dlack Death and the (.rent Plague; but it is singular that the first detailed account was giveu by Dostock at as late a period as 18H. Since that date, hay fever seems to have grown so alarmingly in frequency that Dr. Mac kenzie is fain to account for its rapid development by supposing a new ac quisition of irritating powers on the partof certain vegotablo bodies. Surely, however, it is moro likely that, "'tis we, 'tis ours, havo changed, not it." HelmholU was tho first author to set forth a definite theory of hay fever, which ho believes to bo produced by vibrios (tho modish bacilli were not then in vogue,) and he held that the vibrios, though always existing in tho mucous mcmbrano of tho nostrils, were especially excited to spasmodic activity by summer heat. Hut it was Dr. Dlack- ley, of Mr .Chester, who led the way in showing that this disagreeable com plaint is really duo only to the pollen of flowers and grasses, instead oi mak ing his experiments in coyore vili, Dr. Illaekley made them on bis own per son; he innaicd ponen, ana anuiciaiiy aennred tho complaint; and be proved that in certain other instances tho severity of tho disease bore a direct rela tion to the amount of pollen in the air. Dr. Mackenzie, treating the matter in the most rigorously scienti tic manner.di vides tho causo of summer catarrh into two classes, the predisposing and the exciting. Tho predisposing causes is of course tho possession oi a certain pecu liar idiosyncrasy, dependent porhaps on abnormality in the mucous membrane, or in tho small veins aud nerves with which it is supplied. As usual, the ul timate uaturo of the abnormality (if any) is too delicato for direct investiga tion. 1 ho Idiosyncrasy is geucrallv de veloped quite suddenly, and when once ae iiiired it tends to incrcaso most un pleasantly with each succeeding sum mer. And tho moral of that is: "If lossible, avoid catching hay fever at all or the first time, aud vou will most probably never catch it for the second." Oddly enough, the idiosyncrasy seems almost confined to the English race, at home or in America; Scandina vians. Frenchmen, Germans and Italians all enjoy a comparative im munity. French and German doctors m .sew iork noticed no cases among thoir compatriots there, though the diseaso Is painfully common among the Americans proper. It is flattering to our Anglo-Saxon intelligence that hay fever also specially affects "persons of somo education and tair social posi tion." In tho West Indies, where yel low fever rarely attacks people of col ored blood, light brown families are quite proud if ono of their number atelies the aristocrats infection, and it may, perhaps. Do equally consoling to the sufferers from hay fever to learn that In Dr. Merriman's experience the 'complaint belongs "principally to the "upper and niidilW classes." So much is this the caso that farmers and acri- ultural laborers, who aro most ex posed to the exciting causes, seldom sutler from it But in persons who possess the requisite idiosyncrasy, Dr. Hlackley showed quite conclusively that hay fever can be artificially produced by inhalation of pollen. Rye, wheat. oats and barley affect the mneous mem brane even more powerfully than the wild graces. In America, however, it a soil oi wormwood that oftenest gives rise to the peculiar catarrhal vmptoins. It must be remembered lat everywhere pollen is liable to float n the air in large quantities during the owering season of wind fertilized lants, like tho grasses, cereals and wormwoods, and hay ferer may there fore possibly be caught even at sea or ii the heart of the great cities. Thus howers of plno pollen have fallen at St. Louis, Mo., transported from forests at least four hundred miles to south ard. PiU! MaU GiKclts.

"Plated jewelry is far more service able than rolled gold jewelry," said Mr. Charles Faas. "Dolled plato is made by sweating down the gold on the metal. In a process of that kind about the thicknoss of very thin tissue paper is used. This proces. was used because tho namo was newer and more taking than 'plated but it Is not much practiced nowadays. "I!ed gold, as yon call it, is simply an alloy of gold and copper; the parts can be just tho same as In an alloy of cold and silver just so much as Is nee essarv to harden gold to a given point. "Alloy is a combination of metals with eauh other, exceot when merctirv is a constituent, in which case the combina tion is called an amalgam; thus, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, brass an alloy of copper and zino, eto. An amaliram is tho combination ot mer cury with somo other metal. Amal gams are used to render a niotal fit to be spread out, as in gilding, or elso to reduce It to powder. 1 wo methods are pcnerallv employed in making amal gams. Tho first is merely trituration iu a mortar, and without heat; tho sec ond is fusing the metal to be amalga mated, and adding to it, when fused, the intended miuotity of mercury. An amalgam of tin and mercury is used for looking glasses, bold amalgamate, the most readily of all the metals with quicksilver. When in a state of fusion it very easily and very intimately com bines with silver, and when mixed with that metal will alo run into a mas with iron. No metal destroys the malleability of gold so completely as lead; ono two thousandth part renders it too brittle lor rolling, and its very fumes produce a serious ellcct upon it. Gold is almost universally alloyed with copper or with silver, tn order to in crease its hardness. In speaking of the fineness of an alloy of gold, the moss is supposed to be divided Into twenty four parts, and the same is called car ats. An ounce of gold Is divided into twenty-four carats, and gold of twen tv-two carats tine is gold of which twenty-two parts out of the twenty four are pure, the other two parts bo ing silver, copper, or of other metals. Gold alloyed with silver is the yellow gold of the old market. To-day gold is freely alloyed with copper, and pro duces an alloy that is ot a rich red col or. and that is what you call 'red' gold.

"That metal, said Charles Faas, Jr., the operator and bead member of the firm, is the a lov pre pared by us. Ihe rrold is purchased in Square blocks 2 inches long, 1 inches wide and H inches thick. It is rolled down, and then alloyed for 10, 12, 11,16 or 18 caraU. f rom 10 to .16 carats is tho most common, and 14 is tho preferable, as it combines tho hardest and brightest find most lasting Qualities.

Brooklyn Union. Incidents at a Fire In Constantinople. We saw a young woman brought out ot a burning house with a copper ket tle in her hand. She was screaming wildlv: "My baby ! O, my baby !" The woman had teen engaged in the kitchen, with ber infant in her arras, and had been busily occupied savin, her cooking utensils by throwing them into the cistern, quite unconscious that her dwelling was already on fire. The firemen, having discovered her in that perilous place, had rushed into the kitchen and forced her to hasten out On her w-av she had espied a copper kettle, and had instinctively seized it: but in her fright and bewilderment, she had thrown her baby into the cis tern instead of the kettle. Fortunate ly a sturdy fellow succeeded in re-cu-iog tho baby aud restoring it to the dis tracted mother. Ihe other incident was even more dreadful. As we stood looking at tho fire we beheld a man struggling, and the next moment saw him throw n de liberately into the flames. George and I exchanged looks of horror, but the bystanders seemed to ray little heed to the occurrence, mere ly remarking that the man was an in cendiary who had been caught in the act of spreading the tire for the purpose of robbery.

These poisons keep the internal lining membrane of the nose in a constant state of irritation, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds of these germs, which spread up the nostrils anodown the fauces or back of the throat causing ulceration of the throat; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness; burrowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarseness: usurping the proper structure of the bronchial tubes, ending in pulmonary consumption and death. Many attempts have been made to dis cover a cure for this distressing disease by the use of inhalents and other ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do a particle of good until the amwba are either destroyed or removed from the mucous tissue. Some time since a well-known physician of forty years' standing, after much exper imenting, succeeded in discovering the ne cessary combination of ingredients, which never fails in absolutely and permanently eradicating this horrible disease whether standing for one year or forty years.
