SrONtiEH.
Evory town has its "sponges." There is a
Songo from the Bahama Islands fire feet six
inches in circumference and weighing six and
half pounds. It will hold twenty-four gallons
of water. It is not known how much the com
mon sponge will hold, aa he rarely takes water.
EDUCATED FLIP.8.
A Ban Francisco showman is advertising a
troupe of educated Sirs. As the warm weather
approaches the fly becomes an object of Inter
tut, and w ill no doubt command attention when
all others of the performing fraternity arc
taking a holiday. If the fly can bo educated to
keep out of the victuals and off bald heads that
is about all tho public would auk of him.
JOl'HNAMHM,
A school of journalism for women willsooi.
bo opened in Detroit. Aa soon ss it becomes
generally known that Jennie June makes (150
a week writing fashion letters, the Detroit
school will liave to enlarge to accommodate its
pupils. Tho fashions change so rapidly now-e-days,
and so many now terms and colors are
introduced weekly, that it requirea more talent
to write a comprehensive fashion letter than it
does to writo an intelligent editorial on the
tariff or on the war in Egypt.
atroets will resound with tho bum nt jiorican
enterprise '
A PREDICTION.
If. Quad places this prediction on record,
and tliono who aro acquainted with the situa
tion will see that he underestimates the poten.
tialitics of the future. Of Alabama he says
that ten years hence sho will supply a great
part of the country with coal and iron. In
that time Beluia, Huntsvillo and Montgomery
will nearly double their population. Binning
ham will havo from 10,000 to 50,000. The
State will have two or three more railroads,
two or more large stove works, a car wheel
factory, a great agricultural works, at least
two canning factories, and a score of new
towns. Of Georgia, he says Atlanta ten years
hence will hare 15,000 moro population, and
every town and city in tho Htnte will liavo
steadily gained. Scores of new Industries will
bo in existence, capital will be increased by
millions. Colored help will ba almost entirely
replaced by white laW. Fruit and truck will
lie shipped to every northern market. An im
mense fruit canning factory will be started
hetweer, Atlanta and Macon. Tbore will be a
hundred moro saw mills, half a dozen great
agricultural and niachino works and every
county in tho State will havo a railroad run
ning through it. Terhaps in the near future
Connecticut will buy her rattraps in Montgom
ery, and Michigan her plows in Atlanta. These
glimpses of tbe future may startle some of M.
Quad's readers, but people who have witnessed
the gigantic strides of this section in the last
decade will consider tho picture altogether too
tame.
CREMATION.
It is claimed that there is a growing feeling
In this country in favor of cremation. The
crematory at Washington, Ta., receives daily
applications for the incineration of bodies, and
has at last decided not to attend to such busi
ness sny longer. In future tho trustees of the
LeMoj ne crematory state that no person living
outside of tho county need apply. They be
lieve that other crematories will soon be built
elsewhere, and everybody can then be accom
modated. THE AI.MHATOlt TRADE.
Pour hundred thousand alligators, it is esti
mated, were killed in Florida during the past
year, to supply tho demand for alligator skin
articles of all kinds, besides articles of jewelry
manufactured from the teeth. This new busi
ness gives employment to over 2,000 people In
the Houth. There aro ovor a dozen tanneries
in tho United Btatcs engaged exclusively in
tanning these hides. The teeth arc in demand
in England and France, where they arc manu
factured into jewelry.
THE HEATED TERM.
It is well to bear in mind the fact that during
the heated term there is always a marked in
crease in the number of crimes of violence.
Undoubtedly tho hot westher has something to
do with this. It unstrings tho nerves, makes
people irritable, and causes them to lose their
temper moro readily than at other times. By
some it is contended that electrical conditions
of tho atmosphere aro responsible for these
effects, but the cause is of minor consideration.
With the fact staring ns in the faco evcryhouy
will sco the importance of keeping cool and
avoiding undue excitement.

crat. At present he is clerking in a grocery
store. He has a sister who is Just a quarter of

DKCAYINO BODIEH.
A Philadelphia physician says that there is a
great deal of exaggeration in much that has
been written and said about the pollution of
water and air by the bodies of the dead. Earth
is a great deodorizer, and when bodies are
placid in it they gradually decompose, sua u
sept to and poisonous matter are removed. The
alow process of combustion goes on in the
grave. The gasscs that escape arc seized upon
. bj other forms of life. As an instaneo going
to show that the gasscs from tho dead do not
effect the Uving may bo mentioned tho church
of tho Capuchins at Kome. The body of each
uirmlc -hnn h .lies is Disced in tho earth bc-
Inw th church until it has decayed. It is then
exhumed and placed against tbe walls or tno
vault. The Bnrvivors who live over this char
" nel house havo never been In tho least affected
- by the exhalations from the decaying bodies.
SILTErTIhIN EH MEXICO.
fto ,.- ,it.r.-iIlfl estimates of Mexico
and her production hare recently come before
thepnblie that it bas at least the charm of
novelty to see the other side occasionally shown
. p. Take the single item of silver mines, for
' Instance. It may be of considerable interest
ia .ii -v. ... jtrtw nr remotely concernca
. . ta such matters to learn that there are fully
100 separate ailrer mines in the single State or
i lacatecos. One of these mines has already
yielded not less thlu one thousand biuions oi
dollare. Thia rein was first worked in 1548 y
ne of thellentenantsof Cortez. In the course
' of the next forty yeara the .etUement increased
to such an extent that Philip the Second gave
u . tha title. "Noble and
Loyal City." Aside from its mining interests
ARTIFICIAL STONE.
The largest artificial stone in the world is
the one just finished ami which is to form tho
foundation for Bartholin's statue of Lilwrtyon
ltcdloo s island in New York harlior. The stone
is made of broken trap rock, sand, American
and foreign cement mixed and water. Twenty
thousand IwrrclB of cement were used. The
mixture for the stone was emptied into tho
"jacket," or mold, and then the surplus water
was squeezed out. The shine rapidly hardened
and will now bear one Hundred tons to tho
sqtinre foot. It is only expected to bear up
five tons to the square foot, but it will grow
harder for the next two years. It has the color
and grain of coarse gray sandstone. It is sunk
fifteen feet below the floor of the fort and rises
thirtv-seven feet almvc it, lias a bsse nf ninety.
one feet square, is sixty-seven feet square at
the top, and 1ms tiftv-twn feet and ten inches
high. On top "f this will lm erected the gran
ito pedestal from which is to tower in all its
magnificent proportions tho colossal work of
tho great French sculptor. Tua casting or
this mammoth monolith evidences the extent
of modem progress in a signal way, especially
when we imagine how, by this cor.creto pro
cess, Cheops could have so much moro easily

PASTEUR'S DISCOVERIES.
No greater advance has liccn mado in any
department of human knowledge during tho
past quarter of a century than in that wnicn
relates to medicine and sanitation. It has
been discovered that tuliei-culosis has its origin
in a specific germ. It has lieen found that
splenic fever may l prevented by vaccination ;
there is a vaccine for chicken cholera ; and tho
important discovery has been made that cholera
has a bacillic germ. These discoveries point to
the day, not far distant, when all zymatic (lis
eases will bo controlled by medical science.
The latest and most important discovery la
that of tho French scientist, Pasteur, who has
perfected a vaccine for the prevention of hy
drophobia. In other words, Pasteur inoculates
monkeys with the virus taken from a mad dog.
The monkeys died. With tho rims taken from
tbe monkeys, he inoculated other monkeys
until tho virus became weak enough to be well
nigh harmless. With this ho inoculated rab
bits until the virus had regained its original
intensity, so that by thio aeries of experiments
ne wss mauled to obtain vinia of different
degrees of power. Ho then inccnlated a dog
with virus of different degrees nf iutensity,
and finally wWb virus taken directly from the
brain ot a mad-dog. The dog thus experi
mented imon showed that he was proof ogainst
hydrophobia. The experiment was ropeated a
numlier of times, and always with tho same re
sult. The success of tho experiments is moro im
rir.t in its ceneral bearings than in its im
mediate results, for it demonstrates the truth
of a theory which will ultimately cnaino inciu
cal science to provide vaccine remedies for dis
eases Unit have hitlierlo delled nil cxp-rin.eni
