Bull the vinegnrwmon unit! in chops in tank poison. Farmer: mskc year on vines". A Conrons Invnxrronuâ€"In a recent num. ber of the Journal of the Franklin Institute: is a description of a remarkable machine. designed and constructed last summer by a student at the University of Pennsylvania. Frank '1‘. Freeland, class of 1879. It is called “An Automatic Tit-tat~to Machine," and with it any one can play that game, as it it were aperson. It is a true automaton. that is. there is no one concealed in or around it who governs its move by electrical or any other means. as was the case with all the “ automaton chess players." The principle upon which it works is this. There is in it amechanical table of all the pessible games. and two hands having nine fingers each. When the opponent makes a move the machine hunts with its left hand in the table for that move. Opposite it is set down the proper answering move. By pushing a lever the right hand dis- covers that move and transmits it to the board. The machine was exhibited at the Franklin Institute. It is now at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. where it has played a large number of games without losing a single .one. The problem of designing a machine which would pla one of the games oi shill was never serious y attempted before but once, when the results arrived at were such as to present serious dimeultles to the construction of the machine.

He spent a very pleasant week in the Metropolis and found many things which interested him greatly. . . . He carries with him the bestwishes of all Americans. irrespective of party ieeling or personal prejudice. and is certainly the most proper representative of American sculiing that evervisited England." We like cheek, but this suite us too well. That Hanian is champion of America no one denies, but that he is an exponent of American style any one but a tool would laugh at the idea. Our Yankee friends have still to learn that the reason he beat their over‘ rated men so easily was because he would have nothing to do with their ridiculous \ bucket or fatiguing arm work, but adhered as closely as possible to that form which brought every mnscls oi the bodv into work. which is the English theory. Whether Hanlau will win or lose in England is a question. but it is certain it is no trial of English and American styles, but simply with almost similar form to English scuilers. whether Canada or Eng- land can produce the better man. For downright cool impudonoe commend us to the following tron; Wilkes' Spirit : llflnâ€" I‘_.__ The compound which oxygen makes with the coloring matter of blood. viz... oxybzamo. globin. gives a wellrmarked spectrum having two absorption bands. Herr Vierordt, a Ger- man physiologist. has pointed out that this may be simply observed by putting the iourth and fifth fingers one over the other and bring- ing their line of union before the slit of a speetroscope. the light used leicg sunlight transmitted. it now a caoutchouc ring he passed round the fingers so as to stop the access of arterial blood. the two absorption bands in the spectrum disappear in afew‘ minutes. the spectrum giving place to that 0! reduced hzsmoglobin. Take the ring oil and the former spectrum recurs. These phenomena evidently give in- formation about the rate at which oxygen is being used up in the human body. and might. Herr Vierordt thinks. be advantageously utilized by the physician. For this end he goes on to show. even reflected light will give the indications. and they can be conveniently observed from a finger, the red part of the lips. the tongue. red cheeks of young persons, with a Browning spectroscope. The observer notes exactly the oment at which. say. a oaoutchouc ring is app led to the finger and the moment of disappearance of the bands. The latter may seem vague. but with practice a sufficiently exact judgment may be formed. Herr Vierordt gives a detailed account of the changes that occur. Without here following him in this, we note the results of a large number of experiments made on himself between May 7 and July 3. The amount at consumption of oxygen. then. in normal. quiet life is found to show con- siderablefvariations (as much as nearly three folds). Immediately on rising out of bed the process is slowest. about four minutes, five seconds on an average. The muscular exer- tion in dressing and washing increases it somewhat (it was three minutes. forty two seconds). and it becomes much quicker in the next half hour (two minutes, thirtycfive seconds. due partly. doubtless. to breakfast. The values then are pretty constant till after the midday meal. Immediately after this it rose (two minutes. ten seconds). and one hour later. at two o’clock. reached a maximum (one minute. twenty-four seconds). Then comes a gradual decrease, till. between 6 and 8 o'clock. something like the value in the forenoou is reached again. Supper gave. in the only two cases observed. a considerable rise (1 minute 36 seconds). Various occupations had a marked influence on the phenomenon; thus. continuous speak- ing always increased the consumption of oxygen ; so did sundry other bodily movements, as walking. etc. Specially interesting was the increase in con- sumption observed during a temporary indisposition of the author. Shortly before and during the ailment low values were had; but as he grew better the values rose again. By intensifying his breathing he could considerably increase the time in which the sheer tion bands disappeared. etc. It is notable t at the dissociation of oxyhmmo- globin occurs in about two minutesâ€"i. 45., about the time in which suppression of breathing is found to cause the greatest phenomena in the systemâ€"London Times.

Last year the bookmakers _ were greatly crippled, and they have not yet made known their intentions lor the coming eeaeon. Beeidee the decline in betting. there has been a great telling all in the number 0! etartere. The number of horses that ran last year leli short by over 400 of the season of 1868. So far as thie is concerned. the real trouble is that England has too much racing. end only the Newmarket, Goodwood and Donceeter meetings are nlantlfnliv lnnnlind with horses. The English people have long been looked upon as a betting people, and yetthey appear to be proud oi the tact that Lord Faimouth. who won more money on the turf in 1878 than any other living sportsman. never betted a dollar in his life. There has been a growth and decline of betting in England which has been almost equally rapid, and the Derby may be taken to illustrate our point, which is that the evil is fast dying out on the other side of the water. When Sir John Shelley carried at! the " blue ribbon " with Phantom. in 18H. the fact of his having netted 845,000 by backing his horse was quite ‘ the talk M the town. Book-making. soon after this. sprang into vogue. and. besides the London division, an extensive portion oi the ring hailed from the cotton district. and was known as the “ Manchester School." The Blends. Gullys, Hills, Crocktords. Swin- dells, Bidsdalss. Barbers and Worsleys stood at the top. and in time gave place to the Pedleys, Hargreaves. Davises. Jacksons. Stephensone and others, who in turn have been succeeded. so to speak. by men of the present day. Davie took the highest place of them all. and is credited with having once made a $500,000 book on the Derby ; hence the title he acquired of " the leviathan.” The abolition of betting houses and lists throughout the country, dealt the first blow at the roots of future-event betting, and the continued interference of Parliament has reduced it almost to a minimum. Now. the only places where betting is permitted is on the race course and at Tattersaii’s. Limited speculation can, therefore. hardly be wondered at. And yet as recently as 1867. Mr. Chaplin. the owner of 'Hermit. is credited with having won $600,000 in bets alone.

Accordingly he died 11 the Jerusalem chamber. The chamber had also been used lor several celebrated assemblies of the clergy. both Presbyterian and E plscopalâ€"the divines 1 who drew up the Westminster Confession of Faith and those who arranged the present scheme of the English Prayer-book. Besides the Jerusalem chamber there was the Jeru- aalem parlor and also the Abbots' House. which would provide them enjoyment for the evening. (Cheers) A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the dean. who then con- ducted the company through the various chambers. 0n the 20th oi last month accumulate at the Working Men's Club and Institute Union had too in tho College Hall.

Alter too, Deon Stanley thought that would be the most fitting time to ; give a briel account oi tho room in which they had assembled. and 0! other apartments which they would see. That portion oi tho building was part oi tho old Abbote‘ House. and the chamber was the old abboto' dining hall. It was in that holithot tho widow 0! ; Edward IV. took reiuge with her two children » against the plots of the Duke of Gloucester. r In those stormy times it was thought to be l necessary to have a certain place where persons in distress might take reluge. One of those was at Westminster Abbey ; it was called the Sanctuary, and that was the name by which the great open space in front of the venerable edifice was still knowu. Queen Elizabeth was extremely favorable to the Westminster School and Abbey; and she gave to the college hall its great tables which were made of Spanish chesnut~he meant the tables at which they were then sitting. The oheennt was said to have been received from the wreck of the flpanish Armauda. The next room to the college hall was the abbot’a parlor. and from very ancient times it had been called the Jerusalem chamber. The Henry IV. 0! Shakeaeare was seized with a violent illness, and he was taken to the nearest place where there was a fire. and that was in the abbott‘s parlor. or Jerusalem chamber. He was laid on a couch belore the fire. He put hie crown upon the pillow, and there iell asleep. While [he was asleep his eldest son, Prince Henry. described as “ Madcap Hal.” came into the room, and, thinking thathis (other was dead, took away the crown. The King came to himself again, and. hearing who had taken the crown. he thought it was a wild lreak of his son. He went for him, and ad- ministered warnings which had such an effect upon the young man as entirely to change his manner of life. King Henry asked the name of the chamber. and said that he had been told he should die at " Jerusalem." He now perceived that it was not at Jerusalem in Palestine where his death should happen, and the last words put into his month by Shake- peare were. “ In this Jerusalem shall Harry Ah: VI A--....ar_-o_ L- 19 â€"â€"VFIWI [ vâ€"“C no“ lls-Icy an wan-nun: Abbot w V-“ â€"-_-. meetings no pfenilififiy supplied '.I he Bum-uh '1‘!"
