A solution has been attempted by M. P. de Gasparin of the remarkable sunsets which have excited the wonder of the world. For many reasons he discards the hypothe- sis that they were due to the action ot fall- ing stars, and considers that the luminous effects were produced by the light ot the sun falling on an atmosphere charged with particles of matter, in a state of minute sub- division, at a great height above the earth, the exact nature and origin of which dust had not yet, however, been de- termined. These are some of the results of the ex- ploring expedition condwjted by M. Al- phonse Milne- Edwards, at the instance of the French Government, in the Atlantic Ocean on board the -TaliHrnan." They were communicated at a recent nreeting of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. The ocean to the west of Morocco and the Desert of Sahara is of almost uniform depth.

Gothard Tunnel, who carry tobacco in hollow loaves of braad, and coffee and jewellery in hollow cabbages, pears, apples, potatoes, wheelbarrow han- dles, aad bedetead legs. The custom-house officers do their best, but confess that the women smugglers, by reason of their keener wit and more voluminous garments, are often too much for them. Bicycle and velocipedes are allowed to roll through the streets of Paris, Munich, Pesth, Brussels and, other large European cities, subject in some ot them to more or less regulation and restriction on the part of the police authorities but in Vienna they are rigidly excluded on the streets. Several Viennese clubs devoted to bicyole and tri- cycle propulsion are now agitating for a re- peal cf the regulations, and are getting up petitions on the sub]ect. The Liverpool rowdy has a peculiar style of dress. The jacket, vest, and trousers ars made ot a thick, undyed cotton cloth called moleskin, which has something of a velvet smoothness and softness on its right side. The jacket reaches jtst belov the hipn and buttons to the throat over a scarf or muffl-jr, and the number of its buttons is great. The trousers fit tight to the knee, from whence they hang with a rakish loose- ness and nearly cover the boot. Crowning all IS a round worsted cloth peak cap, with a little round knob on the top, that makes a very suitable finish to the whcle man. Visitors at the Crystal Palace, London, are now amused and instructed with a giant electric microscope and a powerful electric light installation, which show a large num- ber of familiar articles, such as snuff, lace, cheese, vinegar, water, and beer.

In full season millions of dollars were often turned out in one night at Crockford's celebrated gambling club in London. The net prcfits of the season were $750,000, and yet the weekly expenses averaged $5. 000. The fitting up of the house cost nearly §250,- 900. Crockford's was ostensibly organized as a club, and the committee elected the members, but any cne who had a fortune to lose could easily obtain admision. The Duke of Wellington was an original member, but was never known to enter the hazard room. For ten years before Crockford's was start- ed there was very high play at Watier's (the principal frequenters of which were hopelessly ruined), at Brookes' and also at White's, where the late Lord Granville was the great player. He is said to have been nearly a million to the bad at the end of his career, although at one time he had won $550,000. Lord Granville once lost $115, 000 at hazard at a single sitting of â- even hours, and $50,000 at one night's whist. It ia a remarkable characteristic of the waiters in Paris restaurants that no mattear what yon ask for, even if it be a fried piece of the moon they will invariably reply "Yea," and either bring it to yon, or, on returning, astsrt with sorrow that imfottu- nately taere ia no more left.

A remarkable instance of honest bmk- rnptcy has occurred in Eagland. In 1874 Mr. Samuel Osborne, a steel manufacturt r of Sheffield, was compelled to file his peti- tion in bankruptcy, with liabilities amoiftit- ing to £70 866, and assests estimated at £50,000. He bought back the business from the creditors by a composition of 12 shil- lings in the pound, payable in three install- ments, the last of which was paid three months before it was due. Mr. Oiborne de- termined to pay the balance of 8 shillings in the pound, and set himself ten years in which to accomplish this task. A sum of £28.000 was required, and the other evening the creditors received the intimation that Mr. Osborne was now prepared to pay the whole of their claims in full. The elect-iclight is not everywhere con- sidered an improveirent upon the old fash- ioned modes of illumination. Oae of the latest and best systems was recently intro- duced into the Couri Theatre at Stuttgart, and it was supposed that the orcj^estra would fiod it very satisfactory. Instead of welcoming the change, however, they have just petitioned the management for a return to the old-fashioned oil lamps that they had bean using previously. They say that the electric illumination has proved objection- able, because its brilliancy, with many, un- pleasantly affects the nerves. They also as- sert that they now find it more difficult to follow the guidance of the leader. A com- mittee of experts composed of oculists and disinterestad musicians, has been appointed to examine into the matter. WIT AKD WISDOM. Why is a railroad train like a vision of the night?

It is not a matter of theory, bat of de- monstrated f»ct, that fcH-ests are the conser- vators of the water supply, acting, in effect, aa does the bulk-bead of a dam. Id tr jth, however, the forests are more than bulkj heads, they are a whole board of public works acting to provide for the storage, maintenance, and proper distribution of aa adequate supply of water lor the entire sur- face of the earth. Agriculture, commerce; and health wait on the preservation of the forests famine, pestilence, flood, and drought wait on their destruction. All of this has baen demonstrated in the Old Wodd, which, having spent centuries ia the .destruction of its forests, is now as anxiously guarding what remains, and vigorously replacing a portion of what has been taken away. In Germany, it is not tro much to say, every individual tree has an official existence. Wood necessary for fuel or building purposes is supplied in abun- dance, but not until provision for an equal supply has been made by planting on re- serve ground a number of trees, at the leist qual in number to those cut down. By this jinicious management several desirable re- eults are brought about. The wood supplyof Germany is greater than fc r centuries past, forest acreage greater, available tillable land is constantly increasing in both value and quantity, floods in Sprmg and draughts in summer are of marked infrequency, and climate is more stable and salubrious. Ia France, where the rivers Rione, Sione, and Durance, part culaily the latter, had for nearly two centurias caused great destrucj tion by flood, an experiment was tried. It was asstrted that che cutting away of the forests had not on'y caused floods, but what was even worse, had resulted in the carrying away of the rich surface soil of the hill-sides, thus giving over to starvation thousands of farmers, who could not coax crops from land once fruitful. In the Haute and Basbe Alps, where the Dorauc? and its main tributaries rise, the most wanton destruction of forests had taken place. The Durance, a sickly stream in summer, was a fe.irful, roaring torrent in spring. Farming land all about it was of little value. In 1830 the first steps were taken the mountain i were generously replanted with trees. In 1875 the disas- trous floods in the south of France occurred Toeretofcra the Darance had been the most nangerous cf the tributaries of the Rhone that year it flowed placidly on its way. It had already become a river in summer, and was no longer a torrent in.the spring. The exper.ment was succestful. Two states of Europe aie belated in the matter of forest preservation, and the re- sults are plainly to be seen. In Russia, selecting one exaxipie, the Volga is so scant- ly supplied with watt-r as to have decreased al.iraiiugly in volume. The Cispian Sea lai, in consequence had its lercl materially decreased. Tie Riisnian Gover-iment is doing something, bat not much, to preserve its forests, which are proportionately mo e necessary to Russia than to any other country of Europe. Spain is even more derelict than Rusiiia, and one writer on the subject does not hesitate to say that Spain's sad political condition is du3 to her neglect of the forests. Bat even if the necessity for the preser- vation of forests were purely theoretical, it is so logical a theory that it ought to be given a trial. Rain falling on a forest trickles by way of leaves, twigs, branches, aui trunks down into the soil among the roots, ani finds its way to the natural un- derground reservoirs which supply the springs, which, in their turn supply the little streams. Rain falling on the Dar3 side o a hill flows immediately off, and as it in- creases as it goes, finally is strong enough to carry away some of the rich surfacj soil. Thus the spring cr win';er floods carry off the water intended to be stored for the summer's use. Then, again, rain always falls more frequently over forasts than over uncovered land, partly because the greater coolness of the forest tends to the condensa- tion of passing cloads, and partly because the already charged clouds are attracted by the lofty trees. When rain has fallen on a forest, from one -half to one -third of the water is held by the leaves, and is given oft again by evaporation, thus producing clouds whieh will soon give up the moisture again. At the same time, the water which reaches the earth is not retaken by the heat, but sinks into the ground. Finally, tempera- ture is more equable in the forest than in the open, and consf qaently tricts of forest land exercise a tranquiliz ng iuflaence to a great distance about them. Another and sufficient reason for the pre- servation and regularation of forest is found in the fact that the wood supply of a country depende thereupon. By a proper system of replanting, the details of which several European states have carefully worked out, a plentiful sapply of wood is compatible with forest preservation. Here is a sort of protection â€" self-protection â€" which the governng power of a nation may well interest itself in. â€" Harper's Weekly, Hot Water for Dyspepsia. A gentleman who is in business in this city, has cured himself of a chronic and ugly form of dyspepsia inavery simple way. He was given up to die but he finally abandoned alike the doctors and the drugs, and resorted to a method of treatment which most persons would laugh at as ' 'an old woman's remedy." It was simply tie swal- lowing of a teacupful of hot water before breakfast every morning. He took the water so hot that he could only take it by the spoonful. For about three week this dose was repeated the dyspepsia decreasing all the while. At the end of that time he could eat, he says, any breakfast or dinner that any well person could eat â€" had gained in weight, and has ever since been hearty and well. His weight is now between thirty and forty founds greater than it was during the dyspepsia sufferings and for several years he has had no trouble with his stomach â€" unless it was some temporary inconvenience due to a late sapper or dinner out, and in such a case a single trial of his ante-breakfast remedy was sure to set all things right. He obtaiiij ed this idea from a German doctor, and in tarn recommended it to others â€" and in every case, according to this gentleman's account, a cure was affected.â€" American Paper.
