From a residence among factories for glass biowiug, he has had special ad vantages for studying the results of this kind of labor upon the different organs of the body. The temperature around the furnaces is a very hi h one for the melting of glass, and the pu monary effort for ten or twelve consecutive hours is very great. Added to these causes of disease is the too common and improper use of alcohol. 0n ; the other hand. the wages of the laborer are higher than in other occupa- tions, and his home and surround- ings better. But these advantages are badly made use of. The love of money conduces to unusual prolonged labor, ‘ which. added to the excess of alcohol. soon breaks down the strongest constitution. which yields to the first attack of disease.

Herr Zander, a German musical direc~ tor, has made public some interesting observations on the relations between the condition of the human voice and that of the weather. He says that apart from the inevitable changes in the intonation, purity and strength of the voice resulting from physical variations. such as illness, nervous tension and the like, he has noted other influences of a barometrical nature that seem to indicate approaching changes in the weather. In clear weather about to change into that of a dismal, rainy char- acter the voice became weak and showed a tendency to grow deeper. In wet weather aboutto clear up and become dry and bracing the opposite was the case. The voice became bright, clear and strong. and was disposed to strike too high a pitch. Herr Zander was director of a church choir and teacher of singing in a high school for many years. and had ample opportunity of verifying these conclusions.

A Pennsylvania Church Member Suspend“! for Dancing. “I! OIUICI UlCOlDfllOMLLY mum Ill. A despatch from Erie, Po... says : The sessions of the Presbyterian S nod. now meeting in this city, have been on up all this week with the hearing of the case of Heber Donaldson. who was expelled from the church at Emlenton on account of dancing. Awarding to Mr. Donaldson's story he was an active member of the church at Emlenton. and in Apnl last. being at a private party. he attempted towalk through the figure of a quadrille. something he had never before attempted. He admitted the dancing, but denied thstthere was any law of God or the Church that pronounced it a punishable offence. But of this he could not convince the church session. and they suspended him from the communion of the Church. From this he appealed to the Clarion Presbytery. but they refused to sustain his appeal. and as a last resort the case was brought before the Synod. REASONS P03 THE APPEAL. Mr. Donaldson stated to the Synod that his reason for bringing his appeal before them was: Firstâ€"The Clarion Presbytery erred in not al- lowing use t9. disam.th9 mom vine? 9!,492938; Secondâ€"The Presbyt ry erred in sustaining the action of the session. as that with which I am charged does not contain the elements of an offence either under the laws 0! God or or the Presbyterian Church. Thirdâ€"The Presbytery erred. as their decision was not supported bi the evidence, there being no proof on record t at any sin was committed on the occasion in question. . ‘ Fourthâ€"The Presbytery erred in sustaining the action of the session, astheirdeciaion involves the making of new conditions of communion. and the making of conditions of church membership which are not conditions of salvation. , A Fifthâ€"The Presbytery erred. in tint they pm- ceaded immediately by judicial gram without having first rationed to other mil er remedies. as provided in our book of discipline. Mr. Donaldson is a lawyer. and had his case prepared with great care and atten~ tion. His first point was, “ Is dancing prohibited by the Word of God ‘2" and on this subject he quoted verse after verse from the Scripture wheres dancing was indulged in and " used as a means of glori~ tying God, and yet in this enlightened age it may not be used as an amusement with- out ofi'ending some member of the Church of Christ." He then called attention to the Kirk Session of Scotland in their persecu- tions in cases of amusement in the seven- teenth century, in which they decided that consistentchurch members should avoid the very appearance of evil. but he maintained thatby so doing every minister of the Gospel was made a monk and a spy upon his congregation, and such a course was not sanctioned by the Scriptures. in which is ever to be found mentioned music and dancing. the latter full as frequently as the former, and yet in the seventeenth century even music was considered sinful and dangerous. " I consider dancing in its purity," said Mr. Donaldson. “ as sinlese as a smile or a song. The sin is in the abuse of it. hence if you don’t abuse it you don’t sin." mAt a late hour last night, and after much discussion. the Synod sustained the action of the Emlenton y,Church in expelling Mr. Donaldson from the church. The case has created quite a stir in religious circles. The action of the Synod is by many most seriously criticised. â€"Sir John Lubbock shows that wasps preserve their grasshoppers for winter‘s use by crushing the submsophagal ganglion, thus producing paralysis. the grasshopper remaining insensible. but not dead.

The pipes laid are heavy iron pipes two inches in diameter, and con- tain the two copper wires. The pipe is filled with a composition of asphaltum, which is said by Mr. Edison tobe unaffected by cold, heat or water. The wires are held apart by means of this composition, which hardens in a few hours. The trench is ‘ one foot and a half deep. The house con-v nections terminate by means of smaller pipes similar in construction. Edison has gone back to Menlo Park to continue work upon his railway. He thinks that he has solved the question of electric tramways, and got a better motor than Siemens. Going from one invention to another in this way rests him.
