Tlie sedimentary rocks m tbeir
groat thickness inclose a succession
of water-sheet or water levels, oc
ciunniif distinct stages and extend
o4 with uniform characters under
whole countries, like the strata to
which they are subordinated. It is
o roper to remark here that by the
term water-sheet is not nient a real
bed of wa'er lodged in a cavity be
tween solid masses .that s'jrve as
walls to it, but water fiilribg e
minute 10'erstices ot i lie o:jcks or
a rock. Continuous and ugulariu
sand these sheets are usually dis-
::ontiuii(ius and iitsular in lime
stones and sandstones, in which
the water only oecups more or
ess spacious fissures.
When natural issues are want
ing human uioustry is auie, oy
iioiino;, to make openings clown to
dm sul)terrauein waters, which it
cnus s to jet up to the surface and
soaieimes to a considerable height
above. The thought of undertak
ing such works is a very ancient
one. The Egyptians had recourse
to them fort? centuries ago; and
they were executed in France in
1126 at Artois, whence the name of
artesian wells have bieu given to
them.
Tlie water levels of the cretace
ous sirata, from which the French
irtesiau waters issue, are not always
of advantage; but in the north of
France and in Belgium they con
ct".tute the most formidable obstacle
wLich inineis have to encounter in
reaching the coal beds.
A stiiking confirmation of the
theory of the source of supply of
the artesian waters has been ob
served in Tours, where the water,
spouting with great velocity from
a -well one hundred and ten metres
in depth, brings up, together with
fine sand, fresh water, shells and
seds n such a state of prpserva
tion as to show that they could not
have been more than three or four
mouths on their voyage. Some of
i lie welh of the Wady Rir have
:ilso ejected fresh water molluscs,
ush and crabs, still living, which
must, therefore, have made a still
mere rapid transit .

A paper that i esis s..the action of

1 n recently invented in Germany
by a Heir Ladewig. The manu
facture is accomplished by mixing
Lwrnty-fiye paits of asbestos liber
with from twenty-five to thirty
part of aluminum suphate. and
the mixture is moistened w.th
chloride of zinc and thorougly
washed in water.- It is then treat
ed with a solution of one part of

of a solution of pure aluminum j
sulphate, after which it is manu j

On the coast of the Grecian is
land Cephalornis is a large number
ol fissures or pits in which the
cont oned Iresh r salt water rises
ana ialls like the sea outside,
t hough the water-level inside i '
four leet lower than outside. What
is still remarkable is that the pits
cannot be filled by running water
into them, nor emptied by shutting
it out. Th!- singular difference oi
level has been utilized by causing
a flow ot water from the sea t
drive a water-wheel piaced inore
of pits.
Where the untrained eye will s--nothing

The mud we tread uoder our feet
in the street is a grimy mixture of

Separate the spnd, however, as
Ruskin observes let the atoms
arrange themselves in space accord

tbe opal. Separate the clay, and
it becomes a white earth, tit tor
finest porcelain: or if it still further
purifies itself, you have a sapphire.
'f;.e the sjof, and if properly
t.eated it will give you a diamond.
While, lastlv, the water, purified
and distil'ed, will become a dew
drop or cry stallize into a lovely
star. Or, again, you may see in a
shallow pool either the mud lying
at he bottom, or the image of the
sky above.
Members of the Microscopical
Society of Calcutta have found that
Ca'cutta buti'"-always teems with
microscopic organisms whea made
as is customary, and these distin
guish if from fresh butter churned
directly from rich cream. The
milk of Bengal is mostly too poor
to yield butter by the process else
(where in vogue, and it is therefore
boiled and put aside to "set, a
small piece of butter or a teaspoon -ful
of buttermilk being added to
it. In from six to twelve hours a
white acid mass is formed, which
is mixed with water, and - churned
until the butter separates. The
organisms seem to be introduced
partly by the w iter and partly by
the stale butter or buttermilk,
really acts as a ferment, while even
dialoms and infusoria come from
the water.

A GAMBLER'S OITFIT.
Ingenious l'onlrlvanrci for Swin
dling; al 'arl.
Scotland Yard possesses a "mus
eum," a memorial of Howard Vin
cent's rule. It consists principally
of ghasrly .momentoes of certain
notorious crimes iu recent years;
but the collection has just received
a most interesting addition ot
different kind. Among the efiects
of Daniel Thomas Doherty, the
American who was sentenced to
penal servitude iast mouth for
shooting a companion in a dispute
over a gambling debt. " were found" ' :
the elaborate apparatus of a pro
fessional card sharper. The arti
cles include a bogus of notes, a
miniature mirror the size of a six
pence, to enable the player to see
the value of anv card he deals,
and half a dozen packs of marked
cards, in a haadscnie wooden case.
The case contains a screw which
presses tbe packs so closely to
gether that any two cards which
are slightly roughed with sand
paper will adhere to one another.
But the gem of the collection is a
peice of mechanism designed to
hold a card concealed in the play
er's sleeve, and t discharge it un
der cover of bis band on his press
ing a spring, which he does by
leaning his elbow on the table.
This is supplemented by another
ingenious appliance for a similar
purpose, to be worn concealed iu
the waistcoat. This is also a men
tal case used, I believe, for dealing
at faro, which, while apparently
rendering it a physical impossibil
ity to deal two cards at once, en
ables the dealer to accomplish
this at' pleasure by touching a se
cret 6pring. The thing is beauti
fully made, and the American
maker shows his satisfaction with
it by attaching hi? name and ad
dress. My object however, is not
to advertise his ares but to warn
the public; and the warning is nec
essary, for some of the gang, I am
informed, are still in London and
living in extravagant style, which
gives proof to the success of their
arts. " -

A Dog Vt'bo Knew Ihe Courtesy
Due to the Fair sex.
Boston Transeipt.
. The Listener saw an instance of
intelligence on the part of a dog
the other day which was remark
able as uniting a high degree of
politness with excellent under
standing. Crossing the ferry from
East Boston, he noticed, sitting cn
one side of the passageway, a
"ntleman who was accompanied
by an immense and very handsome
be. Beinard dog. Directly op
posite were two young ladies, who
could nut restrain their admiration
tor the dog. and made evident
signs of a desire to be friendly
with him. The dog, however,
looked up to his mater and de
clined to budge. But presently
the gentleman remarked quietij ,
"Go over and see the ladies,"
whereupon the animal moved
promptly across the passageway
and wagged his tail amiably while
the youug iadics patted his head
aud raved over him.- But present
ly came the remarkable exhibition
of politness which the Listener
has referred to. The wharf was
reached, and the passengers arose
and moved tewaid the street-cars.
One of tlie young woman carried
a basket, and this basket the dog
insisted upon taking in his mouth.
The lady gave it to him, and he
walked proudly toward the car
with it, casting a glance toward his
master, who remained standing on
the platform. He entered the
street-car with the basket, deposit
ed it in the lap of the young lady
when she had seated herself, and
then whiiked ponderously out and
rejoined his master. It was a clear
case of a friendly service courteous
ly performed.
A Man With tiOOO Wives.
Muley Hassan, the present Sul
tan of Morocco, lives a retired live
at his capitals of Fez and Morocco,
and rare.'y ever appears in public
to his subjects, while it is stiii . less
seldom that any European can ob
tain a view of nis august person.
He ascended the throne on the
death of his father, Sidi Moham
med, which occured on the 20th
of September, 1876, at the age of
a little more than thirty, when, al-,
ready distinguished lor his person
al valor and good generalship he
defeated his rivals and stringently
put down all attempts at revolt.
He is now forty-five years of age
though bis commanding figure
would almost make one think him
a great deal less, did not bis face
wear lines that show not only the
steady approach of years, but also
sure signs of pain and suffering.
He possesses 6000 wives, whom he
keeps in harems at Fez, Morocco
and Methues. He also has a travel
ing harem which constantly at
tends him. His life is simple, as is
a! I life in Morocco; at tbe same time
when occasion demands, he cau ap
pear iu such state as scarcely a
court in Europe can rival.
