FRIDAY April 18. 1871)
Introduction of Guano.
Prof. Kohl, in a recent paper,
denies the exclusive modern use
of guano in agriculture, and
quotes the Arabian geographer,
Edresi, as mentioning cliffs border
ing the Persian gulf, which were
covered with the excrements of
birds. These were used as manure
at Bassora and up the Euphrates.
The Peruvians also used guano at
the time the Europeans first ar
rived there, and Humboldt, early
in this centuiy, urged its use, but
without effect. It was only in
1840 that the first ship load of the
article was sent to England, and a
large demand soon sprang up.
Plague Precaution.
The disinfection of letters contain
ing paper money, during the height
of the Russian plague panic was effect
ted on the Prussian border by expo
sing them for six hours in a peculiary
constructed closed vessel, to the fumes
of sulphuric acid. It was not consid
ered necessary to open or puncture
the letters, since it was proved by
-experiment that the vapor of the acid
penetrates the pores of paper however
firmly made. In the labratory of the
Berlin board of health, blue litmus
paper inclosed in four thicknesses of
.paper, and in several envelopes tightly
compressed, was intensely reddened
by being subjected to the fumes of
this acid.
Connecticut will, if the senate
sbould pass and the governor not
veto the bill, adopt the Moffat reg
ister. Virginia still uses it, Louisi
ana has just abandoned it, Texas
is about to try it, and Alabama,
Florida and North Carolina have
decided against it.
Russia is said to be negotiat
ing with Spain for the cession of
the Ladrone islands, in te north
Pacific. They would afford an ex
cellent base for cruisers to operate
in the Chinese seas, and the Eng
lish press call the attention of their
government to the subject.
Berlin is experimenting with
electric lights for the illumination
of streets and factories. In re
spect to the matter of lighting,
there is more enterprise shown in
Germany than there was with re
gard to street railroads, which were
not introduced there until Iens:
after eveiy one-horse city in the
United States could boast of them.
The beautiful old church of
St. Nicholas, in the Swiss town of
Freiburg, suffered severely during
a recent hurricane. Many of the
pinnacles were broken, and the
famous rosette window was badly
damaged. The statute of St.
Nicholas of the chief portal was
turned three-quarters round by the
hurricane, but, curiously enough,
it was not thrown down or injured.
Angell. the Pullman car dc
faultcr, enjoys his prison quarters
at Joliet. He is bookkeeper in
the business ofiiee, lias a cushioned
arm chair and black walnut desk,
and the windows of his room open
upon a delightful lawn and gar
dens of flowers. But for the fare,
that hardly equals that of the
Palmer house, and his striped
suit, he would hardly feel the
change.
The progress of the excava
tions for the underground drain
age at Lincoln, England, is contin
ually ia'ing bare fresh traces of
the Roman occupation. A portion
x)f a fine mosaic pavement, of a
jruillnche pattern, together with
rich wall frescoes, paving tiles, and
other traces of a sumptuous Roman
residence, have been discovered
just outside the Exchequer gate,
to the west of the cathedral. These
remains are within a short distance
of the hypocaust found beneath
the percentory in 1739, and belong
perhaps to the same mansion.
With the legislature's expen
ses double what they were ten
vears ajo, and increasing at the
rate of 25,000 a year, says a York
state paper, the honest men of both
parties recognize the necessity of
retrenchment. Several committees
had reported where extravagance
might be checked, and bills carry
ing out the siiGTffestions have been
put through the Assembly; but
the senate killed them. To cut
down expenditures is to cut oil'
party patronage; and that is more
than the professional pohticans
will consent tu do.
Passanante, the would-be assas
sin of King Humbert, has won the
admiration of Italy, by the cool
ness and stoical courage he dis
played during his trial just ended.
A bold brigand is always a hero in
Italian eyes.
A bridge has been thrown across
the Tiber at the point in Rome
known as the "Porto di Ripetta,"
a locality familiar to the artist
world. The bridge is a splendid
modern structure and was inaugu
rated by the King, who, with his
staff, rode across it on the 10th.
"When the Russian female doe
tors who heroically served :is sur
geons in Turkey during the last
Turko-Russian war returned to
their country, they found that the
opposition to the regular medical
practice had disappeared. They
are now officially employed, on
equal footing with other members
of the facult', in many hospitals
and in different provincial districts.
