It is now nl mo" t a llxed fact that l'rofcs.-or John Wlso, Secretary of tlic Meteorological section of the Franklin Institute, of Philadelphia, will start from Huston Common on tlio -Hit of July on his aerial voyage across tho Atlantic. A letter from Philadelphia to the New York HWV elves full particulars of tho details. Mr. Washington II. Donaldson, the daring aeronaut, anil two scleutillc gentlemen, not yet selected al though there arc many applicants for the ml venture will accompany him. Within n few days past tho Common Council of Ho-ton Imvo appropriated tho sum of-j;i,000 for tho purcliaso of the materials for tho balloon, mid for oilier necessary apparatus provided tho Boston men of science are satls tied that tho Professor's theory is a plausible one. Professor Wise says no can do' this beyond all question. He will make tho Journey of il.OOO miles In not more than soventy hours and probably only sixty, lliseonll denco in tho success of tlio venture is based on tho theory, which his fre quent experiences as an aeronaut havo-prnved to be it true one, that tho entire upper air atmosphere sur rounding the earth moves with tho revolutions of tho earth eastwardly. According to thK ns f-oon as tills air tide Is struck by tlio balloon, the air ship will drift Kunipeward at the rate of 100 miles an hour. Hut this im mciLso rato of speed will lie a source of no peril to tho1 voyagers, for, as llntfiUkiir W'lwfl ttvt IlltlW 111 Hilt VflV'M- ger, tho balloon, no mailer now ta It inav mi. seems to stand still.

Tho basket aud Its appurtenances will bo something novel. It will re semble a covered room, with a cellar, where tho water ami footl for the trip will be stored. It will have windows on all sides, mid a lime stove for head ing autl cooKing, wniio an ciecirm light will bo secured at night by means of a vacuum tune with a plat Ilium tune at each etui.

Serious ami calm Intellectual Work Is only very slowly destructive to the nervous health, While emotion, unless directed Into proper channels, Is highly destructive to the nervous system. The conventional Ideas as to tho propriety ami utility of cer tain kinds of emotional excitement tlo visibly bear, In the experience of medical men, the very worst fruit po-slble. It is trui that the emotion of repentance for real guilt is not a thing to bo shunned; but thu habit of self-torturing Introspection, which tho clergy are especially earnest lu recommending as n means of spirit ual purification, Is so far from pro moting tho existence ofn really high and pure standard of ethics, that it ruins IhHIi IkxI.v and soul, lu the ma jority of cases, wherever It Is applied on u largo scale. .'More especially tho habit of Inducing unnecessary emotional excitement in young per sons who nrojust entering tho (fan ger ous pcrlotf of cominiinclng sexual llfo Isso morally ami physically inju rious to n largo number of Individu als, that it may well bo questioned whether those Individuals might not have been more safely left In total neglect and ignorance.
