HAY’S THEORY. How a London CliemUt Would Dispose ot the Bodies of the Dead. Dr. George Hay, a London chemist, advances a plan for the disposition of the dead bodies of human beings. Ho advocates an economic distribution of the remains, so that they may return to the elements as soon as possible, if for no other purpose than to furnish a fertilizer. Dr. Hay would pulverize the body with the aid of machinery. He says; “The machines might bo I contrived so as to break the bones first in pieces of the size of a hen egg, next into fragments of the size of a marble, and tho mangled and lacerated mass could next be reduced by means of chopping machines and steam power to mincemeat. At this stage we have a homogeneous mixture of the entire body structure in the form of a pulpus mass of raw meat and raw bones. This mass should now be dried thor oughly by means of steam heat at a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, or a pressure of thirty the inch; becauso pounds to firstly, we wish to reduce the material to a condition convenient fur handling, and, secondly, we wish to disinfect it, as no infectious or contagious disease can retain its vitality at this temper ature. Once in this condition would command a good price for the purpose of manure. Another method is by boiling in close vessels. The oil which would rise to the top may be drawn off to be converted into soap or a lubricant. The residue may by vari ous simple processes be converted Into fertilizing material.” His final and most brilliant suggestion is the “dis tillation method.” The bodies are to be placed in gas retorts, and »n about six hours will be converted into illumi nating gas, water, ammonia, tar and animal charcoal. By subsequent dis tillations. such substances as sulphate of ammonia, aniline colors and corbol- ic acid may be obtained. It is this process which finds most favor with the writer.—St Paul Pioneer-Preu.

The explanation offered for its appearance is that of the simultaneous contrast of colors, tho theory propounded originally by M. Chevroul. —The frequent need of diffusing light in the studios of photographers, either from tho direct rays of tho sun or from tho reflection of colored light from high buildings, is well known. Waxed paper of the tissue sort, is now be lieved to be ono of the best mediums for this purpose, since it allows a large percentage of light to pass, the latter being at thesamo timo equally diffused. Pictures may this way be made as quickly as if there were no medium in terposed. —Experiments made by electricians seem to demonstrate that the atmos phere, when free from foreign matter, can not hold electricity, nor serve as a conductor. The floating particles of dust arc, it would appear, an impor tant olement in the phenomena of a thunder storm, the passage of which always leaves the air so clear and clean. The peculiar danger from lightning in a manufacturing town, with its smoke- laded atmosphere, seems thus to bs scientificallj’ confirmed. —A highly important industry is springing up in tho United States, that of “muzzling” oysters, by which they can be sent long distances in their shells with perfect safety. Until re cently, the general practice was to pack the raw oysters in ice, but a sud- don rise of temperature is liable to render a whole week’s supply useless. Oysters feed twice a day; and never open their shells except at feeding timo. When taken out of their natural olement, they attempt to feed at regu lar intervals, and so soon as the shells open, the liquor they contain is all lost, the air takes its place, and tho first stage of decomposition sets in. As long as tho shells are closed, the oyster is fit to eat; it feeds on the liquor in the shell, and will thus keep in good con dition for a considerable time. To se cure the koeping of tho shells closed, a method has boon invented of tying (“muzzling”) them with a stout wire, which can be done with great rapidity, and now arrangements are being made for dispatching American oysters in their natural condition all over the civilized world. WINNING MANNERS. GREAT'SALT LAKE. Why Young People Should Strive t*» De velop Lovable Way«. The Largest Survivor of a Once Mighty In land Sea. The law of attraction and repulsion is everywhere operative in society. There are some people from whom it is hard to keep away. They are social magnets, drawing every one to them. They are never alone, because their friends can’t let them alone. In a com pany, they arc encircled with devoted friends. They are listened to atten tively. Every motion is followed and very often imitated, Your first im- pulse, when you are undor the same roof with them, is to approach them and enter into conversation, Every word, overy look and every motion is an invitation to friendship. You find yourself unburdening your heart to them and seeking thoir counsel. What an influence they exert on you! You even wonder how it is that you are so easily persuaded by them. How you admire such people! How much you would give for such a power of person al attraction! What would you not give to surround yourself with friends in this way! What is the secret of it all? Well, we must recognize the fact that there is a personal magnetism about somo people which is a natural endowment. All have not the same attractiveness of face or form, nor have all tho same unconscious drawing power. But, while this drawing force is in part a gift of nature, it is very largely the product of cultivation. Winning ways are usually developed. It is not always perfectly natural to exhibit graco of manner. But it is perfectly possible to cultivate attract iveness of manner, and studious watch fulness with earnest effort will do a great deal to make ono attractive. How much better it is to attract than to re pel! No one likes to feel that they are disliked or even unthought of. But how many there are whose influence is comparatively insignificant simply be cause they do not cultivate personal at tractiveness. It is worth thinking about and working for. Wo ought to do •very thing in our powor to add to our influence. There are a great many things which sums people are inclined to ignore which have a determining power in tho matter of personal in fluence. Among them wo would men tion personal appearance. We are ac customed to say “handsome is who handsome doos.” But handsomo doing will by no means excuse untidiness. It is quite tho fashion to accuse the young man or young woman who gives some attention to dress and personal ippoaranco generally of being proud or vain. It is not strange therefore that young people who are continually harped about giving too much atten- tion to their appearanco and dross, should como to feel that there Is a sort of virtue in ignoring these things altogether. But such is not the fact. It is quite as reprehensible to bo slovenly or uncouth, as it is to be vain. In fact of tho two evils the latter is tho least. Bat thoro is no necessity for either extreme. Having made your self as attractive as possible in your personal appearance, let your conduct be affectionately winning. Be grace ful in movement. Bo studiously care ful of tho feelings of others. A con stant inquiry as to how you can best promote tho happiness of others will develop winning ways and indefinitely multiply your usefulness.— Rev. A. Z Conrad, in Chrintian at Work. The largest of the ancient lakes at present known is Lake Boonville, the second in size has been named Lake Lahonton. Lake Bonneville was situ ated on the east border of tho Great Basin, principally in Utah, and ex tended from a few miles north of the Utah-Idaho boundary 356 miles south ward. It flooded all tho valley of Great Salt Lake, together with the Sevier and Escalante deserts in Southern Utah. It was 125 miles broad and 1,000 feet deep, where Great Salt Lako is now situated. Tho site of tho templo at Salt Lake City was then sub merged 8>0 foot. Lake Bonneville overflowed north ward and became tributary to Snake river, which Hows into tho Columbia. At various stages Ps waves and cur rents formed terraces and gravel bars on tho mountain slopes, which confined it. Theso still remain as fresh and perfect as when they wore formed, and are in part the records from which tho geologist has boon able to deter mine the history of the ancient lake. Wo know that it rose with many fluc tuations until it had a depth of nine hundred feet, but did not overflow. Then a chango of climate caused it to contract its borders, and possibly to become completely desiccated. In the lower stages of this desiccation it was broken into separate water bodies, which must have boon more or loss saline. Another great climatic chango caused tho basin to be refilled to a higher level than over before and to overflow. The water found an outlet at the north end of Cache valley, Idaho, and. as wo havo said, became tributary to tho Columbia. The lake continued to over flow until tlie waters had cut down tho outlet 370 foot. During this period, unless thoro wore somo peculiar condi tions near the point of discharge, tho lake must havo been fresh. Tho dis charge of tho lake was finally stopped by a climatic change which lowered its surface below the bottom of the outlot, and again tho basin became partly if not wholly desiccated. This second low-water period has continued to tho present day, and Groat Salt and Sevier lakes are tho representatives of ancient Bonneville. The largest of these reprosenatives of tho ancient sea is Great Salt Lake. In 1850 it covered 1,750 and in 1869 2,166 square miles. Its maximum depth is about fifty feet and its mean depth approximately fifteen foet. These re cent changes in area are due to small variations In dim ito, similar in char acter to tho changes which produced tho great expansions and contractions of the lako in ancient times. With change in volume there is chango in density; that is, tho strength of the brine increases with decreased area, and decreases when tho lake expands. In 1850 ite waters contained about twenty-two parts, by weight, of saline matter in solution to ono hundred parts of water. In 1869 tho salino matter had decreased to a littlo less than 15 and in 1874 to a littlo more than 14 por cent. This chango in salinity was accompanied by increased area. The waters of the ocean contain 3-10 per cent, of total salts in solution. Great Salt Lako, therefore, in 1850, was six timos as salino as tho ocean. Like tho ocean, too, it holds many sub stances in solution; tho principar ones are common salt, or sodium chloride, and sodium sulphate; besides these there are small percentages of potas sium, magnesia, etc. The influence of temperature on the solubility of certain saline substance* is well Illustrated by this dead sea of Utah. In summer its waters are clear and transparent, but as cold weuther comes on it becomes milky or opales cent, owing to tho precipitation of sodium-sulphato in an extremely fine condition. In the depth of winter, when tho temperature of tho atmos phere above the lake falls far below freezing, an immense quantity of sodium sulphate is precipitated and is thrown ashore by tho waves until thousands of tons accumulate on the beach. IV hen the temperature rises the salt thus precipitated is again dis solved. This natural process of frac tional crystillzation produced by a lowering of temperature is instruct ive, and should suggest to those who are attempting to manufacture salt in Utah a practical method of treating the natural brines in order to obtain common salt free from sodium sulphate. Lake Sevier is also highly saline, and during the arid season sometimes evapórales to dryness.— Overland Monthly. THE PERIODICAL CICADA. The Nature anti Habits of the Seventeen« Year Locust. The insect known as the seventeen year locust Is not a member of the lo cust but of the cicada family, and it i correct name is tho harvest fly. The insect is remarkable chiefly for the length of time necessary for it to pass from the larva To the pupa state— seventeen years in one species, thir teen in another. The periodical cicada appears in somo parts of tho country nearly every year, and perhaps a few of the insects may appear anywhere, during any summer, but the lineal de scendants of each swarm appear only every seventeen or thirteen years. The popular name of locust was doubtless derived from this appearance in largo swarms after long intervals of time, like the locusts of the East. In its per fect state this harvest fly is of a black color, the edge and veins of its two pair of wings being orange color. Near the tips of tho outer wings is a zig-zag lino in tho form of tho letter W, which tho superstitious imagine indicates approaching war. As this is soon on overy insect, and as somo of tho insocts appear in some part of the country every year, the prophecy is considerably weakened by its frequent repetition. The eggs of this cicada are deposited in tho twigs of trees, tho female piercing a hole to re ceive them. Here they hatch in about six weeks, and the young larvae fall to the ground, where they instantly bury themselves by means of their fore feet. They live in the ground during their long period of growth, seldom burrow ing more than three to four foet below the surface. They follow the roots of plants in their subterranean move ments, and live upon the juices of these, thus sometimes proving quite injurious to vegetation. As the time of their transformation approaches they grad ually make their way to tho surface of the earth through long circuitous pas sages. They burst through the crust during the warm nights of the spring and early summer and ascend trees; and in a few hours the pupa skin in which they are enveloped breaks, and the perfect insect comes forth. Tho ground is often riddled like a honeycomb by these insects, they ap pear in such numbers, and were their lives prolonged they would undoubtedly do great injury to vegetation, but for tunately their existence is but epheme ral. After emergence from the pupa skin, the males perform the act of repro duction, and soon die. They have scarcely a trace of digestive apparatus, and it is supposed that they do not eat any thing in their brief lives. The re productive organs of both male and female are fully developed on their birth into the winged form. The males carry over 500 sperm cells, and each female lays from 400 to 500 eggs. The female has a complete digestive system—though she is smaller in size than the male—and she feeds upon the young foliage, but fortunately she lives but a few weeks. She bores into small twigs, laying about sixteen eggs in a hole, and continues hor work until her eggs are deposited; by this time she is so exhausted that she fulls from the tree and soon dies. It is fortunate, considering the great fecundity of this insect, that ants and other flies feed upon its eggs, and that blackbirds, woodpeckers, frogs, toads and hogs devour the larvae when they fall to the ground upon being hatched, or are turned up in a half-developed state by the plow, also that it only appears at long intervals. The twigs punctured to receive eggs usually die and fall from the tree, and in this way the cicada doos much harm to fruit trees, though forest trees bear it very well. The periodical nature of this insect has been known for two hundred years, a description of a seventeen-year locust brood being on record ¡is far back as 1633. But it remained for the present entomologist of the United States, Professor C. V. Riley, to dis cover, by comparison of tho dates of their appearance, that one of the cicada species had a period of trans formation five years shorter than the other. Prof. Riley published in 1885 a chronological statement of all tho A TIMELY REMEDY. periodical cicada broods that had been How to Protect Yourself Against the Hite recorded up to that year, giving dates of Insert*. of their future appearance.

The J’lauHible Theory Advanced by a Dis tinguished Russian Chemist. The origin of petroleum has been ex plained both on tho organic and inorgan ic theory. Thecommonly accepted view which is held by many American geolo gists, is, that it hits been formed by tho distillation of organic remains by the internal heat of the earth. Others con sider that it hits been formed directly from its elements by chemical reac tions, and that its existence is in no way dependent upon tho organic re mains of former geological ages. Pro fessor Mendelojoff, the distinguished Russian chemist, has recently advanced a theory of the inorganic origin of pe troleum which Is of considerable inter est. Briefly stated, he believes that in tho interior of the earth iron is present in largo quantities, combined with carbon in the form of a carbide. Now, when water from the surface reaches this heated carbide of iron the oxygen combines with tho iron, re placing the carbon, which unites with the hydrogen, forming tho hydrocar bons of which petroleum and natural gas are principally composed. Tho most Important practical point of this theory is, that, if true, the formation of these substances may be continually going on, so that we need have no fear of the supply becoming exhausted.

Ou the contrary, it needed suppression, it was so appallingly perceptible. He ate three square meals, stole most ot tho lunch he was sent with to the har vest field, put away about three quarts of cherries, rifted the molon patch of a twenty-pound molon, and sat on the shed after dark and demolished a dozen mammoth tomatoes his grand mother had put there to ripen.
