Freezing in Fire.
A few days since, while observing the action of his new absorption refri- gerating machine in Ruppert’s brewery ‘New York, Mr. T’. L. Rankine casually placed a lighted candle against the ex- pansion pipe leading from the liquid re- ceiver. is intention was to melt the frost from the pipe ; but to his surprise the eflect was quite the opposite, frost forming within the flame much more rapidly than on the other portions oi the pipe. He afterwards observed in the cellar be was refrigerating that di- rectly over the burning: gas jets the frost on the pipes along the ceiling was greater than elsewhere.
fo those unfamiliar with the fact that the vapor of watur is always a ne- cessary product of combustion, the pro- duction of frost in an atmosphere of fire seems to be not merely wonderful but magical. And we confess that per- fect familiarity with the chemistry of combustion did not greatly mitigate our surprise on witnessing the pheno- menon. Of course the principle is the same as in the familiar experiment of freezing water by the rapid vaporizing of sulphuric ether or other volatile liquid in the presence of high heat ; but if this case refrigeration is from within and one sees only tho flames surround- ing an iron pipe, oa which the nascent vapor is immediately transformed into white frost. It is worthy of remark that the frost is whitest where the flame is hottest, for there the vapor is formed and the combustion is freest from smoke. Incidentially the pheno- menon gives evidence of the intense cold generated by the machine, which is as compact and simple asit is power- ful. It will be remembered that Mr. Rankino is the gentleman who con- structed the larger skating rink at Gil. more’s Garden last winter, maintaining for some weeks the largest sheet of ar- tificial ice ever known.—Scientific Ame- rican,

Two Chicago men went on a wecks spree, which involved an irregular tour through the west. One morning they awoke in a hotel with a dazed notion as to what city they were in. One said St. Louis, and the other Cincinnati. They bet $100 as to which was right, and neither won, for the bell-boy in- formation them that the place was Mil- waukee.

Scientific Despatch of Crime. EXECUTION BY ELECTRICITY.
It has been proposed to put electricity into practical operation for the purpose of criminal execution, and Park Benjamin, a well-known scientific gentleman, recently expresse:l| the opinion that an electric ap-
aratus could be devised so complete that it woul! occupy ne more space than an ordinary travelling trunk, capable of dis- charging a spark potent enough to kill simultansously more men than have ever been hanged in company in this country, with entire safety to the operating sheriif. It is cla'med also that the electric appara- tus would save the bodies of criminals from defacement. At the Steven Institute in Hobokon there is an electric coil which yields sparks twenty-one inches long, that penétrates glass blocks three inches thick and the Rvyal Polytechnic Institute to London possesses one of greater power.

A number of persons gathered in New York, on the 22nd, at a reception given by the inventors of the ‘‘ audiphone,” a new implement for hearing through the medium of the teeth. A class of deaf-mutes was present to test its value ; all of them were enabled to distinguish the difference be- tween the sounds, and when they held the audiphone to their teeth, they enjoyed the singing of one of the ladies; by using a double audiphone, some of them were able to hear their own voices for the first time in their life.
Puctuistic Broxers.—In certain circles it seems to be the growing fashion, says the Montreal Star, to settle little personal dis- putes by means of fisticuffs, instead of re- sorting to the law. This is perhaps praise- worthy when the contestants are not too antiquated. A choice exhibitiog of the kind has just come off, the scene being the office of a prominent Merrill street whole- sale house, and the parties two well-known young men connected with the tea and grocery interests. It seems that two gentlemen met in the aforesaid office yes- terday morning in company with others, and in the general conversation which ensued, one of them called the other a liar, where- upon a_ hand-to-hand conflict ensued on the spot, resulting in the acquisition of a black aye, by one of the contestants.

Desrervinc AN Anpert MeEpat. —There | is many a brave oction of the soldier and, sailor that passes unnoticed and unre-} corded. One of these brave deeds for which the Albert Medal is granted, was performed by Chief Officer R. Thomson, Lieut. R, N. R. of the Allan steamer ‘‘Circassian,” on her outward voyage, the trip before last. The good ship was at Rimouski waiting for the mails to be put on board. This being one of the events that break the monotony of the voyage, the passengers usually come up from below to witness the sight. On this occasion, it being dusk, Mr. Nield, of our city, was on board and in the smoking eabin, he ran up the ladder, and not per- ceiving that the rail was down at the gang- way, went overboard. Not. being able to swim, he would certainly have been lost had it not been for the prompt and un- daunted courage of Mr. Thompson, who, though wrapped in an ulster overcoat, at once jumped overboard and succeded in rescuing Mr. Nield from a watery grave. The coolness and presence of mind of Mr. Thompson was the theme of praise by all who witnessed his gallant action. Such a deed should win the Albert Medal, and the decoration on the breast of Mr. Thomp- soh would be worthily and bravely won.— Montreal Mevald.

This is not the case with Boschees German Syrup, although but a few years introduced into this coun- try, its sale now reaches in every town and village in the U.S. Its wonderful success in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Pneumonia, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throat and lungs, was first made known by distributing every year, for three years, over 490,000 bottles to the afflicted, free of charge, by Druggists.
