A I-ake of Fire.
A correspondent of the Xew York
limrs. writing from Waterloo, an ex
tensive estate in Nassau, describes a
curious body of water to be seen there.
The lake is nearly one thousand feet
long and two hundred to three hun
dred feet broad. It is an artificial
lake, the former proprietor of Waterloo
having built it to store green turtles in.
The plan was to buy the turtles alive
and put them in the lake and let them
increase in size and numbers, when
they would always be ready to be
caught and eaten. Millions of fish
could be kept in the lake at the same
time, and thus the occupant of Water
loo would always have a good dinner
waiting in the yard. The lake's bed is
cut out of the solid rock, and is only a
few hundred feet from the ocean. It is
connected with the sea by a small ca
nal, also cut through the rock: and
when the gate in this canal is left open
the tide rises nnd falls in the lake.
It was one of the darkest nights I
ever saw. We went into the boat
house and pushed out a heavy row
boat. " 1 took the oars and we pulled
off. The first stroke gave me a fine
start. There had not been any un
usual appearance of phosphoresence on
the surface of the water more than is
often seen on tropical seas; but as sion
as the oars stirred it up they seemed to
be dipped in melted gold. There was
actually fire there, I was compelled to
think. WThile I was wondering at it, a
lish, startled. by our splatter, darted
across the pond near the surface, and
in his trail wa3 left a streak of - yellow
fire. Then we saw at different places
on the surface little vapory clouds of
fire flashing and darting about like the
northern lights.
"If you have a newspaper in your
pocket," said my companion, "ljy it
out on your lap and splash the water
with both oars, to see whether you can
get light enough to read by.'
. I did so. and was able to read the
heading and all the la-ge lines without
difficulty. I took an oar then and
splashed the water, and wherever a
drop fell back into the lake was a round
tfpot of fire. There was something
startling in seeing so much fire float ng
about, and I had not the faintest notion
where we were. I had gone out upon
an unknown lake, ;n total darkness,
and had no idea how large oriow deep
it was, nor where the current if there
was any m'ght carry us.
'If you will pull hard and watch the
bow and stern of the Loat, you will see
something curious."
I did so, and was well paid for the
exertion. When a boat moves fast there
is always a cutting of the water at the
I ow and a 1 ttle eddy left just behind
the stern. That cutwate.- and that eddy
were of Taming fire. More fish darted
about, leaving liery trails. Indeed,
wherever the water was agitated it
turned apparently into fire. When the
agitation ceasrd the tire disapj eared,
except that there was always a little
sparkling upon the surface.

Hay FeTer.
Dr. Morell Mackenzie, in an interest
ing pamphlet, explains the true origin
and nature of that mysterious ailment,
bay fever, as being essentially nothing
more than pollen poison. Of course,
such poisoning differs immensely from
infection by bacterial germs, because
the floating pollen of the air does not
increase and multiply in the human
system, as they do; it merely sets up
irritation of the mucous membrane,
giviag rise to catarrh and asthma. But
the two cases have this much at least in
common that the origin of the disease
has been traced in either instance to a
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. The
theory that hay fever is due to the
pollen of grasses is no new one. On
the contrary, it has for some time been
growing in favor with pathologists, and
Dr. Mackenzie's able exposition may
be looked upon rather as the conclu
sive vindication of the pollen hypothe
sis than as the first statement of a new
truth. Indeed, as long as hay fever
has been known at all, the popular
name by which it is familiarly called
has associated it with the flowering
time of the ordinary meadow grasses;
though the Irritation has generally
been ascribed rather to the odor of
sweet vernal grass and scented holcus
than to the distinctive action of the pol
len itself. The latter species is un
known f . English meadows, but sweet
vernal grass is familiar to most of us as
the peculiar spiky plant to which new
mown hay owes with us the whole of
its delicious fragrance. Still hay fever,
like influenza or cholera, did not occur
in Europe, according to Dr. Mackenzie,
in "the good old times" (whenever that
may be) or if it did occur it was over
looked in the multiplicity of medieval
diseases. As the complaint does not
actually kill, it may have been consid
ered unworthy serious attention in the
days of the Black Death and the Great
Plague; but it is singular that the first
detailed account was given by Bostock
at a a lata a nm-tnsl a a 1ft 1Q Kinna tfiat
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
Eart of certain vegetable bodies. Surelv,
owever, it is more likely that, "'tis
we, 'tis ours, have changed, not it."
Helmholtz was the first anthor to set
forth a definite theory of hay fever,
which he believes to be produced by
vibrios (the modish bacilli were not
then in vogue,) and he held that the
vibrios, though always existing in the
mucous membrane of the nostrils, were
especially excited to spasmodic activity
'by summer heat. But it was Dr. Black
ley, of Mr Chester, who led the way in
showing that this disagreeable com
plaint is really due only to the pollen
of flowers and grasses. Instead of mak
ing his experiments in corpore vHi, Dr.
Blackley made them on his own per
son; he inhaled pollen, and artificially
acquired the complaint; and he proved
that in certain other instances the
'severity of the disease bore a direct rela
tion to the amount of pollen in the air.
Dr. Mackenzie, treating the matter in
the most rigorously scientific manner.di
vides the cause of summer catarrh into
two classes, the predisposing and the
exciting. The predisposing causes is of
course the possession or a certain pecu
liar idiosyncrasy, dependent perhaps on
abnormality in the mucous membrane,
or in the small veins and nerves. with
which it is supplied. . As usual, the ul
timate nature of the abnormality (if
any) is too delicate lor direct investiga
tion. The idiosyncrasy is generally de
veloped quite suddenly, and when once
acquired it tends to increase most un
pleasantly with each succeeding sum
mer. And the moral of that is: "If
possible, avoid catching hay fever at all
for the first-ime, and you will most
probably nevencatch 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
in New York noticed no cases among
their compatriots there, though the
disease is painfully common among the
Americans proper. It is flattering to
our Anglo-Saxon intelligence that hay
fever also specially affects "persons of
some education and lair social posi
tion." In the West Indies, where yel
low fever rarely attacks people of eol-
nroil Hlnrwl 1 i crht. hrnwn fmil!oa on
quite proud it one of their number
catches the aristocratic infection, and it
may, perhaps, be equally consoling to
the sunerers from hay fever to learn
that in Dr. Merriman's experience the
'complaint belongs "principally to the
Tipper and middle classes. So much
is this the case that farmers and agri
cultural laborers, who are most ex
posed to the exciting causes, seldom
sutler from it. But in persons who
possess the requisite idiosyncrasy, Dr.
Blackley showed quite conclusively that
hay fever can be artificially produced
by inhalation of pollen. Rye, wheat,
oats and barley affect the mucous mem
brane even more powerfully than the
wild grasses. In America, however, it
is a sort of wormwood that often est
gives rise to the peculiar catarrhal
symptoms. It must be remembered
that everywhere pollen is liable to float
in the air in large quantities during the
flowering season of wind fertilized
plants. Tike the grasses, cereals and
wormwoods, and hay frer may there
fore possibly be caught even at sea or
in the heart of the great cities. Thus
showers of pine pollen have fallen at
S. Louis, Mo., transported from forests
at least four hundred miles to south
ward. Pall Mall Gazette.
Incidents at a Fire in Constantinople.
We saw a young woman brought out
of a burning house with a copper ket
tle in her hand. She was screaming
wildly: "My baby! O, my baby!
The woman had been engaged in the
kitchen, with her infant in Tier arms,
and had been busily occupied saving
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
Eerilous place, had rushed into the
itchen and forced her to hasten out.
On her way 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 rescu
ing the baby and restoring it to the dis
tracted mother.
The other incident was even more
dreadful. As we stood looking at the
fire we beheld a man struggling, and
the next moment saw him thrown de
liberately into the flames.
George and I exchanged looks of
horror, but the bystanders seemed to
ay little heed to the occurrence, mere
y remarking that the man was an in
cendiary who had been caught in the
act of spreading the fire for the purpose
of robbery. St. Nicholas.
The Machinery of the Alps.
The Alps constitute a great machine, ,
which manufactures water out of snow,
and supples it to all Europe. Every
year there falls on the Alps thirty
three feet of snow, most of it falling
between the altitudes 7,600 and 8,000. ;
This snow, light, opaquo and enough,
if piled on top of the Alps, to bury
them three-Gf ths of a mile deep in the
course of a century, is continually
pressed down, formed into glacial ice,
shoved through the valleys, melted into
rivers and distributed to the four quar
ters of Europe by the machinery of the
Alps. A cubic yard of snow weighs
187 pounds; when show is thawed and
sinks into the glacial form, a cubic yard
weighs nearly half a ton. When it be
comes solid ice a cubic yard weighs
nearly a ton. From the surface to
the bottom of a glacier are to be ob
served all these gradations of snow, the
light and opaque at top, the solid at
bottom. Some of these glaciers are
over 1,600 feet deep. The water which
melts from them is estimated as equal
to a height of ten feet a year. Their
movement is generally downward, but
tacasionally they appear to shrink back
and upward, only to renew their down
ward course at a subsequent period. In
this way they advance slowly from the
heights to the outlets of the valleys,
sometimes as low down as 3,000 feet of
altitude; this snail-like journey often
requiring more than a century. A lad
der which Saussure left in 1783 at the
foot of the Aquille Noir, when he de
scended Mount Blanc, was found in
1832 at a distance of 4,757 yards below,
a descent of eleven inches a day. A
knapsack which fell into a crevasse of
the glacier Talefre and was afterwards
found below, traveled at the rate of
fourteen inches a day. In 1820 a guide
fell into the first crevasse that opened
at the foot of Mount Blanc; in 1865 his
body, recovered below, was found to
have traveled at the rate of eighteen
inches a day. In I860 the body of a
mountaineer, clad in the fashion of
some former age, was delivered up at
the foot of the Ahrenthal glacier in
Austria. Tyndall found that the Mer
de Glace traveled at the rate of thir
teen inches a day in winter, and twenty-four
inches in summer; Agassiz dis
covered that the center of the glacial
stream moved faster than the sides;
Charpentier ascertained that the stream
had its eddies and whirlpools; Render
asserted that it is impossible to point
out any phenomenon of rivers which
was not to be observed in glaciers..
Hence their importance to man. They
are plastic streams, to be studied at
leisure and with the view of applying
their lessons to running streams. The
glacial fields of the Alps cover no less
than 1,177 square miles. The glaciers
of Mount Blanc alone cover 103 square
miles, and their mass is equal to 1,83 f,
000,000 cubic yards, which represents
a body of water equal to the whole dis
charge of the river Seine during nine
years. There is machinery for you?

Filters.
A good filter has come to be a necessity
at least in our cities and large towns,
and wherever the drinking water is
drawn from rivers, lakes, ponds, etc.
Into these every sort of impurity mav
find free entrance from sewers, the
drainage of farms, dead fish and othei
animals, and masses of decaying veg
etables. Boiling the water may kill
the microscopic parasites (bacteria)
that cause infectious diseases, but it
dots not; free it from its visible, disgust
ing matter.
A good tilt'T accomplishes two things,
it strains out the grosser impurities, and
it also destroys so many eminent
chemists now telieve much of the
finer impurity by oxydiing it really
burning it up.
This fact, that filters actually destroy
impurity, is among the late discoveries
of science. It was fouud, when the
Thames received all the sewage of Lon
don and the other towns on its banks,
that the filter-beds contained but little
impurity compared with the great
quantity of filth they must have inter
cepted. The chemists were at first puzzled,
but they were at length satisfied that
the great bulk of it was burnt by the
oxygen of the air, it being known that
a film of air clings tenaciously to all
surfaces and hence to every particle of
sand of which the filter consisted.
Hen e a filter is a strainer and a great
deal more.
The power of the filtering material,
charcoal or pure white s and neither
sponge nor any other substance capable
of decay should be used is lost within
from three to six months, and hence it
should bs renewed as often.
But much of the impurity is retained
at the top of tbe strainer, and hence,
unless it is frequently removed, it
works down into the filtering substancu
and all the water must work its way
through a mass of filth.
A filter whose straining-pot can be
turned bottom upwards without taking
it lrom the faucet is the only safe one.
Of course, when turned the impurities
are at the bottom, and are washed off
by the flowing water. Youth's' Compan
