o o o 6; o Spectrum Analysis- From a resume in the Tribune of Roscoc's late work. In 1859, two German chemists, Buuscu and Kirchoff, working tog-ether, discovered that each chem ical element, when burning in a flame, emits a light Avhich, when passed through a prism and form- inrr a spectrum, has lines or marks peculiar to itself. These lines a- mignt ue iukmi, inereiore, as new properties of the elements, and could be used to distinguish and detect them. It is oniy in the con dition of vapor that the elments produce their peculiar lines. If platinum wire, a solid, be heated to whiteness, and its light passed through a prism, it gives a con tinuous spectrum ; but if platinum bo vaporized by the electric cur rent, its spectrum becomes broken, and there is a series of bright lines separated by varying intervals of darkness. If zinc be vaporized, it gives beautiful bands of red and bliiGjvhilo vapor of sodium gives two line vellow lines situated close ... ' i 1 . x . 1 j! r to each other. A new and most delicate mode of chemical analysis was thus found, and the very iirst result obtained by it was the dis covery of several hitherto unknown chemical elements. Prof. Euusen in examining the ash left after the evaporation. of some mineral water, discovered lines which did not ap pear to belong to any known ele ment. He then boiled downCforty four tuns of this water, and from the mineral residue he extracted two new metals resembling potash, one of which he named llubiditnn, because it gave a0.1ark red line, the other Cesium, from its pro ducing a bluish gray line. The lines produced by the burn ing vanors of the elements are va riously colored, but always bright, with dark interspaces; but in the spetrum of the sun and stars this is exactly reversed, the lines being dark and the spaces bright. Kir choif explained this beautifully on the principle) of absorption, which we will trt to illustrate. If we go into a glass storcPwith a vi olin and produce a tone by draw ling the. bow across one of the strings, certain of the glass vessels will be set singing; they will catch lip and jdve out the same musical note which proceeds from the violin. But only those vesselsQ ill do thiiDwhich arc capable of vibra ting in unison with the string, or of giving out the same note that they receive. In this case the .sound of the string is said to be absorbed by the vessels which are capable of emitting only vibrations of the same rate. Supposing we have a candle flame containing so dium vapor which gives the bright yellow lines in its spectrum. If then wc take an electric light, which is of course very much brighter, and containing also sodi um vapor, and let it shine through the candle-flame, the frright yellow lines do iiyvf, change their position, but they iustantly turdark. The explanation is that the condlc flame absorbed the same rays that it gave out that is, it stopped the bright sodium rays of the electric light, and, letting all tc others pass, the contrast becomes o great in the spectrmn that the lines of absorption appear as dark lines. Now in the sun it is supposed that there are two sources of ligfyt, an cxtcrnal(jhotosphere, and an inner nucleus of kUenser brightness, so that the intenser light from the in ner sourc udergoes absrptign it passes through the outer sphere ' and hence the solars- lines appear dark A beautiful verification of: this principle is furnished by a dis covery of Lockyer and jansen, j that from the very outer edge of the sun, and consquently where wc do not get the rays from the nucleus lis, the solar spectrum gives bright lines; this outer sphere "is therefore termed the chromosphere. The constitution of the sun is noWy. held to be pr(.ed by spec trum analysis that is, we "know to a moral certainty that certain ele ments existing on the earth exit also here. The specum of iron vapor, for example, gives ti. sixty or scvcntg)bright lines. If now we place this beside the solar spec trum, the bright lines arc found exactly to correspond to a system of dark lines in number, breadth, position and interspaces a coinci dence, that. Sixteen of the ele ments wc know upon earth are thus found to exist in the sun. The spectra of the stars have been ttudicd with great assiduity and success by Fatlrer Secchi, of Rome, Mr. lluggins, of London, and Mr. Kutheribrd, of this city. About eighty lines in the spectrum of the fctar Alderbaran have been mapped nnd it has been shown to contain sodium, magnesium, hydrogeihis mutli, ' tellurium, antimony and mercury, while Sirius gives indica tions of the presence of sodium, magnesium, iron and Iivdrotjen. . But the uses of spectrum analy sis are not confined to original chemical research; it has practicle :ipplications0which should not be passed unnoticed. In the Jiesse ncr process of converging cast-iron into steel it is of great value. Cast iron differs from steel containing " inore carbon, and is made into steel by burning cut the carbon bv means of a blast of atmospheric ab sent through the white hot, mol ten mass. Five tuns of cast-iron, by this process, are converted in twenty minutes into cast-steel The success of the operation de pends upon the blast being stopped at the right moment, for if discon tinued too soon the mass becomes too viscid to be poured out, or, if continued too long, it crumbles un der the hammer. By the aid of the spectroscope the appearance and disappearance of the lines in the flame afford an exact index to to the progress of the combustion. This instrument is also proving a valuable ally to justice in criminal cases. It detects with unerring certainty even thene-thousandth part of the grain of the red color incr matter of a blood-stain. The Woxdeijs op "Water. The extent to which water mingles with bodies apparently the most solid iso truly wonderful. The glittering opal which beauty wears as an ornament is only flint and water. Of every twelve hundred tons of earth which a landlord has in his estate, four hundred are wa ter. The snow-capped summits of our highest mountains have many million tons of water in a solidified form. In every plaster-of-Paris statue which an Italian carries through our streets for sale, there is one pound of water to four pounds of ' chalk. Theair we breathe contains five pounds of water to each cubic foot ofits bulk. The potatoes and turnips which are boiled for our dinner have, in their raw- state,. the one seventy-five per cent, and the other ninety-live per cent, of water. If a man, weighing cie hundred and forty pounds, Avas squeezed in a Uhydraulic press, seventy pounds of Avater would-run out, the balance being solid matter. A man is, chemically speaking, forty-five pounds of carbon and other ele ments, with nitrogen di fused tlirough'five and a half pailfulls of Avater, this mingling no less won d erf ul. A sunflower evaporates one and a quarter pints of Avater a da', and a cabage about the same quantity. The sap of plants is the medium through which this mass is conveyed. It forms a delicate pump, up which the water parti cles run with the rapidity of a SAvift stream. By the action of the sap various proprieties may be communicated to the growing plant. Timber instance, dyed colors, mixed sprinkled over trees. Dahlias similar process. m r ranee is, tor with tlte various with water, and the roots of the are colored by a Bereft-of Reason by Fright. The Galesburg (111.) Free Press ofI)ec. 30th says : A case of sudden or violent fright occurred in our neighboring town of Abingdon on Monday last, Avhich should prove a sad and impressive warning to all Avho are partial to indulging in practical jokes. It seems, from Avhat avc can learn, that on that day a party of boys, disguised with hideous masks and grotesque garments, called at the residence of an esti mable lady, Mrs. George II. Mar shall, in that place. They entered noiselessly at the back door, and succeeded in fHifhteninr an infant almost into convulsions. Mrs. M., hearing the horrified screams of her child, immediately hastened to its assistance, to shield and protect it from harm. In hurrying to her chilcl she suddenly encountered the masked figures, and fell faint ing to the floor. She Avas shortly afterwards found by her friends, and. proper remedies avc re admin istered, but her revival only Avit nessed the horrifying ffrct that she Wis hopelessly insane. Up to this writ in tr, avc recrret to say that no lucid intervals have been develop ed, and the woman, once a happy wife, and a proud mother, is now a raving manic, bereft of reason and coAvering in fright. o O The Fallacy an enthusiastic OF a Wish. At religious-meeting among the negroes in Blount county, last week, when the mourners bench Avas croAvdcd Avith penitents groaning in agony, one of them, a sable damsel of elephan tine -proportions sprang to her feet, crying; 'Glory halleluiah! Lord bless do .Lamb, I've got re- ligion Lord, if dis nigger had do wings of a June bug, she'd fg right to heaven.' IIerenthusiasm Avas checked at that juncture by a matter-of-fact sister, who raised hei head and brought the newconvc-rt's thouglits back from the ideal to the real thuslv : ' You fool nigo-cr hvhat do you mean ? If vou had a J une bug's Avings don't you know Avoodpecker'd " gobble vou fo a lore you got half a mile ?' Whig. Jvnoxville The South Carolina Legislature .uiiuuim-a iue other day to John-. Robinson's circus. A see mo- tion to that effect was made by my. jjc Large, the colmWI leader of the House, in these words: "Mr. speaker, ae circus hab arrobe and darfbre I moves clat we adjourn" which was done according. Death of a Free Government. lhe following is lrom a s peech -j delivered 'bv Hon. D. "v Voor- hees, of Jiidiaua : " It is a melancholy spectacle to behold a free Government die. The world, it is true, is filled with evidence of decay. All nature speaks the A'oice of dissolution, and the highway of history and of life is strewn with the Avrecks which time, the great despoiler, has made. But the hope of the future, bright visions of reviving glory, are no Avhere denied3 to the heart- of man, save as he gazes on the downfall of legal liberty. He listens sorrow fully to the autumn winds as they sigh through dismantled3 forests, but he knows that their breath will be soft and vernal in the Spring, and that the dead floAvers and withered foliage will blossom and bloom again. He sees the sky OA'ercast Avith the angry frown of the tempest, but he knoAA S that the sun Avill re-appear, and the embla zonry of God cannot perish. Man himself, this strange connecting link betAveen dust and Deitr, tot ters Avearily onward under the AA'eight of years and pain, toAA-ard the tomb, but hoAAr briefly his life lingers around the dismal spot. It is filled Avith tears and grief, and the willow and the cypress gather around it Avith their loving but mournful embrace. And is this all ? Not so. If a man die shall he not live again ? Beyond the grave, in the distant Aiddenn, hope provides an elysium of the soul, Avhere the mortal assumes immor tality and life becomes and endless splendor. But Avhere, sir, in all the dreary regions of the past, filled AVith convulsions, Avars and crimes, can you point your finger to the tomb of a free common Aveath on which the angels of re construction have ever descended, or from Avhose sepulchere the stone of despotism has eA cr been rolled away : A here, m Aviiat age, and in Avhat clime, have the reignseof constitutional freedom rencAved their youth and gained their lost estate '? By Avhose strong grip has the corpse of the republic once fallen, eA'er been raised ? The merciful Maker, Avho walked upon the waters and bade the Avinds be still, left no ordained apostle Avith poAver to Avrench apart the jaws of national death, and release the A"ic tim of despotism. The Avail of the heart-broken over the cdead is not so sad to me a. the realization of this fact. But all history, Avith a loud, unbroken A oice, proclaims it, and the evidence of Avhat the past has been is conclusive to my mind of Avhat the future Avill be. Wher ever in the domain of human eon duct a people once possessed of liberty have surrendered those greater gifts of God sat the com mand of the usurper, they haAe ncA'er afterwards proA'cn them selves Avprthycto regain their for feited treasure. Suxshixe axd Clouds. Ah ! this beautiful Avorld ! I know not Avhat to think of it. Sometimes it is all sunshine and gladness, and hcaA'en itself lies not far off and then it suddenly changes, and is dark and sorroAvful, and the clouds shut out the day. In the lives of the saddest of us, there are bright days like this, Avhen Ave feel as if avc could take the great Avorld in o,ur earms. Then come gloomy hours, Avhen the fire Avill not burn on our hearths, and all Avithout and (vithin is dismal, cold, and dark. Believe me, every heart has its secret sorrows, Avhich thcworld knoAvs not, and oftentimes Ave call a man cold Avhen he is only sad. Longfelloio. Xatoleon's Belief. Napo leon Bonaparte wrote to General Bertrand : " I know men, and I ttell you Jesus Christ was not a man. Alexander, Ca?sar, Charle magne, and myself founded Em pires. But upon what did avc rest the creation of our genius ? Upon force. Jesus Christ only founded His empire upon Ioa'c ; and at this hour millions of men Avould die for Him. If you do not perceive that Jesus Christ is God, very AVcll ; then I did wrong to make you a General." ' ' ' The dwellers on one of the streets of Memphis Avcre recently startled by loud cries of murder, and when the person from whom, the cries proceeded Avas found, he replied to anxious inquiries, that "being an orphan, having no father or mother, or other kinspeople, and feeling lonely, he concluded to gath er a crowd for company.". A Western philogist has discov ered that the name of Omaha Avas derived from - a frequent Western exclamation with Avhich that re gion was familiar in the Indian scalping da as, namely, " Oh my bar." A man' being aAvakened by the captain of a passenger boat with the announcement that he must not occupy his berth with his boots on, very consderately replied, "Oh, hurt 'em; they're an old it won t pair." Too Many Laws. The world is goyerned too much," is a popular saying, but not 'worthy- of such general ac ceptation as the fact that there are " too manf laws." A late XeAV York church or gan well says that one of the crying evils of the present time is the multiplicity of laws, which fairly bewilder even the practi tioners of the profession. We have general laws and special laAvs, constitutional provisions, and? statutes professing to con form thereto ; laws which speak in general and universal terms, and laAvs which enter into details and regulate the particular sub ject, bo numerous are these, and so conflicting the applica tion of them by our courts of justice, that thev have become a iest. 1 et aa'C hear every day of some iieAA laAV being proposed to correct an eyil which probably springs from the very fact that there are too many laws already, and so the system, goes on, one law requiring another. The feAA'er the laAvs Ave have, the bet ter they will be obeyed. The " golden rule," which includes all other laAvs, is a simple and comprehensive one. It, would be Avell for us if all our laws were based upon it as a model. The father avc get away from it, the deeper do avc get entangled. An Irishman went to live in Scotland for a short time, but didn't like the country. "I AAas sick all the time I .was there," said he, "and if I had lived there till this time I'd been dead a year ago. Goon Powder.
