The iieia ij not new but The methods employed are original. He simply causes the flower to drink certain colored solutions--chiefly aniline-which penatrating the tissues, modify color, or, in famct, dye the nervelets and veins of the carolla. It is knowj by gardeners that hortensias receive a blue tint from -the mixture of iron filing. with the soil around the plants. pansies and stocks have their flowers colored in fifteen min utes if their roots are immersed in a so lution of green aniline. The plant,-how ever, dies within a week when thus treated. Watering the soil with a col ored solution produces no effect, as the coloring matter is absorbed by the earth. -In the peninsula of Taman, in Rus sia, a tomb at4uij from the third-century before the Christian era has been discov ered. In it was found a gold collar or namented with lions' heads; a crown of the same metal adorned with precious stones, ihaving in the centre a swan with a Cupid on its wings; a round gold brooch with a pjz represeptiug Venus folding Cupid iin her arms; a collar of pearls; ear-rings, chains, rings, bracelets in gold, and vases of silver. The tomb id supposed t9 be that of a young girl. -Various seavats have tried to apply to the color sense the pipeiply of the evolution theory. They represent that our ancestors of prehistorio an4 even of historic times had but an imperfect sense of colors, similar to that of the color. blind of the present day; the latter be ing 1ogardcd as caaes p€ atavism, or de generation to a primitive state. Argu ments in favor of this view are drawn from the designation of colors in very old books, such as Homer, the Bible, etc. Dr. Dor, of Lyons, combats this theory, contending that color-blindness is large ly due to a lack of proper training and education, tod at 4rizotle was able to distinguish rainbow colors as readily as the average of our contemporaries. He shows from the very writings upon which the new theory was based numerous pas sages indicating very highly developed ideas of color, while modern literature abounds in inaccurate color-designations. In conclusion, Dr. Dor brings facts fronk the most early historic times, those of the Egyptians and ancienit Assyrians, to prove that the color-seens was developed as mucli as today, even 4; that distant period, -The mysterioi;f power, electricty, is pndergoing every kind of manipulation by enthusiastic scientists in endeavors to adopt it to the performauce of m>an'g work, anid its many applicatioils attast its inestimnible value. A new suogestion, apd a striking one, is the use of electri city as a mipians of eýtecuting the death jenalty.

This will con sist in the judge's resiiqg ,the story of the crime committed by the prisoner, who will be rigidly manacled to the aforesaid arm-chair, and when this in done, the judge will break his rod of' office, and toss it into one of the scale pans of justice, at the same time extin gmshing the solitary torch. The descent of the scare p will complete the elec tric circuit, atal abock the wretch into the next .uuyt4. -The metric system bas now been. adopted by twenty-eight different n. tions, including .a ajority of the civia iced world.

In drilling, fresh water veins were met with to a depth of ,# feet, which was the limit of the casing. At 1415 feet a heavy "gas vein " was struck, and the gas al lowed free escape while drilling was con tinued. When the well was abandoned, the /esei water flowed in, and the con flict between the water and gas com menced. The water flows into the well until the pressure of the confined gas be comes greater than the weight of the sa perincumbent water, when an expulsion takes place, and a column of water and gas is thrown up to a great height. This Sccurs ryt present at regular intervals of thirteen minutes, and the spouting con tinues for one and a half minutes. Meas urements have shown the column to vary in height from 1h8 to 138 feet. The gas of the mixture can be readily ignited, when, after nightfall, a grand spectacle is presented. The antagonistic elemeutd of fire and water are so promiscuously b!ended thiau each seems to be fighting for the mastery. At one moment the flame is almost entirely extinguished, only to break forth the next instant with increased energy. During sunshine the spray forms pan prtificial rainbow, and in winter the columns become encased in huge transparent im chimneys. huge transparent gop chimneys. -A w14t for petroleum and spirit lamps is now manufactured entirely of glass by a German firm.

THE SU1T F IM INNO. te The Sun will deal with the events of the year 18810 in its own fashion, now pretty well understood by everybody. From January o- 1 until December 31 it will be conducted as its a newspaper, written in the English lan re guage. and printed for the people. As a newspaper, The Sun believes in get ting all the news of the world promptly, and presenting it in the most intelligible shape -the shape that will enable its readers to keep well abreast of the age with the least unproductive expenditure of tiqse. The gieatest interest to the greatest number that is the law controlling its daily make up. It now has a circulition very mush larger than that of any otiher American news e, paper, and enjoys an income which it is at x, all times prepared to spend liberally for the t benefit of its readers. People of all condi t tions of life and all ways of thinking buy it, and read The Sun; and they all derive sat isfaction of some sort from its colunmus, for they keep on buying and reading it. In its comments on men and affairs. The Sun believes that the only guide of policy should be common sense, inspired by genu . inc American principles and backed by honesty of purpose. For this reason it is, and will continue to be. absolutely indo pendent of party, clasp, clique, organization or interest. It is for all, but of none. It will continue to praise what is good and n reprobate what is evil, taking care that its II language is to the point and plain. eittond the possibility of being misunderstood. It st- is uninfluenced by motives 'utlitt do not Il ' pear on the snrftce: it has no opinions to ly sell, save those which may be had by any 1e" purchaser with two cents. It hates injiustice is and rascality eyep more than it hates umi necessary words. It abhors frauds, pitii ri- fools, and deplores nincompoops of every al species. It will continue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the +[rst clas, instruct Ant The Sui makes no bones if telling the r-the second, and discountenance the thirtl. ir truth to its friends and about its fr-ends whenmever occasion arises for plain se almne. These-are the principles uo ch2 Sun will he conducted durlig the ert conmc.-muthyero u wn ussa w uvuuuv i uurlug tue yearuo come. The year 1880 will be one in which no pa triotic American can afford to close his eyes to public affairs. It is impossible to exag gerate the importance of the political events which it has in store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on the part of every citi zen who desires to preserve the Government that the founders gave us. The debates and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press, the exciting contests of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout the country, the vary ing drift of public sentiment will all hear directly and effectively upon the twenty fourth Presidential election, tu be held in November. Four years ago nekt November the will of the nation, as expteased at the polls, was thwarted by an abominable con- 1 spiracy, the promoters and benegolaries of which still hold the ofilces they stole. Will the crime of 1876 be repeated in 18801 The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent Administration intrenched at Washington. The Sun did 4 something towards dislodging the gang and breaking its power. The same men are new intriguing to restore their leader and then selves to places from which they were driven by the indignation of the people. Will they succeed ? The coming year will bring the answers to these momentous questions. The Sun will be on hand to chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their relations to expiency and r"ghi us, with a habit of philosophical good humor in looking at the minor afairs of life, and in great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of. the people and the principles of the Constitution against all aggressors, The Sun is prepared to write a truthful. instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1880. Our rates of subscription remain un changed.
