CARSON FOOTPRINTS.

Through the kindness of Frank Bell,Warden of the Carson Prison, ProfessorDavidson haß been enabled to lay out aplan for perpetuating some of the finer im-pressions in clay and sand-stone stratawhich exhibit the Carson footprints. Therets no doubt that in a few seasons many oftbe more delicate markings and tests of theprinte wouldbe obliterated by the actionof the weather and the repeated taking ofcasts, etc. While there Professor David-son marked out a line forty-six feet inlength, embracing the best- preserved seriesof toe tracks, claimed by some to belongto the giant sloth, and by others to somelarge quadruped likea bear, and by othersto the pre-historic man, and the inter-maikin-; of the series with the mam-moth tracks at the entrance to the smalltunnel. Another line of forty feet hasbeen marked, embracing the bfst series ofthe mammoth tracks from their impres-sion t>c the ripple-worked substratum ofblue sand-stone to the muddy layers liveinches deep in the mouth of the secondtunnel. From casts of these tracks, embrac-ing the birds' tracks among them, severalgreat slabs willbe produced, representingthe present condition of the footprints.Mr.Gibbs has brought down small slabsexhibiting the rain marks, ripple marks,etc., and also specimens of the tiuest ofother animals' tracks. Professor David-son discovered a series of tracks which ap-pear to be new, and were unknown to Pro-fessor W. P. Blake, who joined in all theexaminations and work, and who willmakea report to the academy and to the Amer-ican and British associations for the ad-vancement of science.

In this connection it is interesting tonote that Dr. Harkness, who is the fatherof the theory that the Carson footprintsbelong to pre-historic man, has discoveredin another locality, some distance fromthe Carsoß State Prison quarry, a series ofsimilar footprints, which are even betterdescribed than those in the Carson sand-stone. They have the additional advan-tage of being covtred by a stratum onlyabout one foot thick, which is easily re-moved. A large area of the sandstonecontaining these impressions has beenstripped. The impressions embrace the in-disputed footprints of the wolf, deer andmammoth, as wellas the tracks of the crea-ture whose identity the scientists have notyet settled to each other's satisfaction.Professcr llarkness, it is understood,claims the new discovery establishes be-yond question the correctness of hiatheory thai the footprints which havecaused so much controversy were madeby the sandaled foot of man, for they donot, he says, present a suggestion of aclaw mark, which he holds wouldcertainlybe the case had the footprints been madeby a bear or by a giant sloth. Inthe foot-prints of the deer the toes are so well de-fined that one track can be readily deter-mined as belonging to an oldanimal. Theimpression of the clawiin the wolf's trackis perfect. The new district is to be thor-oughlyexplored, and for that purpose Dr.Harkness has taken steps to get possessionerf the land."Ibut Dr. Benson's Celery and Uhamo-

mile Pills sis. introduce them wherever Igo.

Personal knowledge and experience of theireffects on others prompts this act." Rev. J.P. Fugett, Rector St. Luke's Church, Myers-burg, Pa. 50 cents, at druggists.

THE TENDENCY OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY.

Sir Henry Birkly, G.C.M.G., F.RS.,

took the chair at the annual meeting of the

Victoria (rniloEophical) lustitute, at 7,AdelphiTerrace, London, in the last week

in Jane. The Honorary Secretary, Cap-tain F.Petrie, F.JI B.L ,read the report,by whichlt appeared that the Institute—founded to investigate all questions of Poi-loßophy and Science, and more especiallyany alleged to militateagainst the truth ofRevelation— had now risen to 1,020 mem-bers, o! whom about one-third wereforeign, colonial and American, and newapplications to join were constantly comingin. Anincreasing number or leading menof science had joined itsranks, and men ofscience, whether in its ranks or not, co-

operated in its. work. During the session a

careful analysis hsd been undertaken byProfessor Stokes, F.R S,, Sir J. R. Bsn-nett, Vice-President R. 8., Professor B=ale,F.R.S., and others, of the various theoriesof evolution, and it was reported that, asytt, no scientific evidence had been metwith giving countenance to the theory thatman had been evolved froma lower orderin animals ;and Professor Virchowhad de-clared that there was a complete absonce ofany fifssil type of a lower stage in the de-velopment of man ;and that any positiveadvaace in the province of prehistoric an-thropology has actually removed us furtherfrom proofs of such connection, namely,withthe rest of the animal kingdom. Inthis, Professor B.rrande, the great paleon-tologist, has concurred, declaring that innone of his investigations had he found anyone fossil species developinto another. Infact, it would seem that no (scientific manhad yet discovered a linkbetween man andthe ape, between fish and frog, or betweenthe vertebrate and the iaverteoKte animals;further, there was no evidence of any onespecies, fossil or other, losing its peculiarcharacteristics to acquire new ones belong-ing to other species ;for instance, howeversimilar the dog to the wolf, there was noconnecting link, and among extinct speciesthe same was the case ;there was no grad-ual passage from one to another. More-over, the lint animals that existed on theearth were by no means to be consideredas inferior or degraded. Among other in-vestigations, one into the truth of the argu-ment from Design in Nature had beencarried on, and had hitherto tended to fullyconfirm that doctrine. The question ofthe Assyrian inscriptions and the recentBibylonian researches had been under theleadership of Mr. Hormnzd Rassam, who,on his arrival from Nineveh, had givena full report of the extent of his newexcavations, which were of the highest in-terest. His discovery of S9pbarvaim, oneof the first cities mentioned in Holy Writ,was most important. Professor Delitschand others aided inthe consideration of thediscoveries and the inscriptions found.Two meetings had been held to considerthe questions raised in Herbert Spencer'sPhilosophy, and Lord O'Neill and othershad shown, by a careful analysis of his ar-guments, that a greater attention to ac-curacy in statement would have kept Mr.Spencer from arriving at those hasty con-clusions which had made his philosophyremarkable. It was announced that theresults of explorations now being carriedon in Egypt would be laidbefore the Insti-tute early in the winter. The discoverieswere very important, especially that of thesite of Snccoth, which, like the results ofthe survey of Palestine, was confirmatoryof the Sacred Record. The quarterlyJournal, which had been published for six-teen years, was nowissued free to allmem-bers and associates, whether at home orabroad. Several interesting speeches hav-ing bcea made, the members and theirfriends adjourned to the Museum, whererefreshments were served.

OLIVE CULIURE IN AMERICA.

Inthe August Century, Mrs.Bianciardi'sillustrated article, "Under the Olives,"contains, besides an interesting account ofthe method of cultivating it in Europe,the following regarding oliveculture as anAmerican industry :

"The olive has lately

acquired for Americans a new and practi-cal interest, from the discovery that it canbe easily and profitably grown in Califor-nia. Residents of California have been ac-customed to consider a small bottle of'

.Mission oil'

for their ealad as a treasure,f >r it far furpaases inpurity and sweetnessany imported oil. But it is only within afew years that private owners of landin Southern California have seriously con-sidered the question whether olive cult-ure could be nude a paying enterprise.So many possibilities cling to the broadlands and rich soil of the GoldenSrate, that it is not wonderful ifsome of them have b"eu overlooked. And,though experiments in olivegrowing havebeen made on a small scale with good suc-cess during the last twenty years, popularinterest is - only now beginning to»beawakened. ,In the first place, there wasthe drawback, peculiarly great to theAmerican temperament, of the slowness ofgrowth and irregular productiveness of theoliveinEurope. The old Tuscan sayingis,

'Plant a vineyard for yourself, an or-

ange grove for your children, and an oliveorchard for your grandchildren.' As apeople, we are Dot fond of lookingfar intothe future ;and besides, judging from our-selves, wo are not at ail sure that on'grandchildren willwish to live where wedo. But the olive is good enough to adaptitself to tha rapidity of American de-mands. It matuses much earlier than inEurope, and bears oftener and moreplentifully. The system of propaga-tion from cuttings, as far as canbe judged at pretent, gives, in ourrich soil, robust trees ; and thereia no need to employ the slow processof raising them from the seed. F<ve yearsis surely not long to wait for a fruit crop :and after that time, according to the beetCalifornia authorities, the trees will yielda full, and inmany cases an annual har-vest. At a late meeting of the State Hor-ticultural Society in San Francisco it wasstated that one olive farm yielded 52,200 (?)to the acre. These trees bore every year,acd were situated on

'adobe

'hillsides, the

bottom lands- being found, as inItaly,lessfavorable to the fruit. The variety wasthe

'Mirsion olive,' which has not been

identified with any of the varieties nowcultivated in Europe. The olive was in-troduced into South America in 1500, byAntonio Kibera ; but the California treessprang from seeds Bent from San Bias inMexico by Mm Joseph de Ojilvez with hisexpedition to rediscover the port of Mon-terey."

MALARIA IN RELATION TO WATER.

The Sanitary Emjiitter contains a com-munication from Culonel G. H. Mendell,in which the writer states that malaria pre-vails over the whole of the great valley ofCalifornia, often in it3most violent forms—

that it exists in uplands remote frommarshy districts, and is often absent fromdistrictsad jacent to those where itabounds.He then goes on :

"Some years ago, while

engaged in a study of irrigation, then be-ginning to be applied on the dry plains ofCalifornia, Iwas led to notice the level ofstanding water in wells, in reference towhich there is a great difference ia our in-terior plains. Isoon noticed that shallowwells and malaria were frequent com-panions. Wnere the wells were seventyfeet (or thereabouts) deep there was free-dom from malaria. Having noticed thesecoincidence!, Iafterwards investigatedtheir occurrence in a great many cases byinquiries of farmers with whomIhad con-versation. Inone or two cases of excep-tional malarial districts in the foothills,which are generally free from this pest, Ifound the water in the wells near the sur-face. Idonot recall a single instance ofshallow wells ichere the faviily were freefrom fevers, always intermittent, Ibslieve.Itherefore connect the presenoe of waternear the surface of the ground with theexistence of malaria. Whether it is dueto the mere presence or to the fact that itis drunk, or to both,Iam unable to say."

Toe statement cf Colonel Mendell is cal-culated to give a very erroneous idea ofthe character and extent of malarial diseaseinCalifornia. Iv the first place, the cli-mate of the ocean slope extending the en-tire length of the State, and varying fromfive to twenty or thirty miles in width,is almost exempt from malaria. This re-gion embraces the metropolis of San Fran-cisco and many other of the meet populouslocalities. The

"great valley

"probably

refers to the valleys of the Sacramento andSan Joaquin, There are many parts ofthese valleys not particularly malarious.Besides, the general character of malarialdisease is not violent, but rather chronic.Cases often reach an extreme condition byslow degrees, and are frequently very diffi-cult of treatment, and disposed to reltpse.As to the influence of water near the sur-face, as shown by shallow wells, we haveour doubts. On the encinals of Alamedaand Oakland, where the wells are veryshallow, there is scarcely any well-markedmalarial disease ;and the same may be saidofmany other localities. Irrigation does notappear so conducive to malaria as the com-mon belief assumes. In the great valley ofSan Bernardino, where cultivation is en-tirely dependent on irrigation, malaria ex-ists only in a few localities. We may addthat the term malaria is so vague, and(rives so much range to the imagination,that itis questionable whether a large pro-portion of disease attributed to that causeis really due to malaria. Malaria is a ca-pacious and convenient receptacle formany dubious ailments. Its precise diag-nosis is as indefinite and indefinable as arethe morbid conditions and therapeutic ap-plications ni quinia.

A Frog Story.— The Wheatland (Yuba

county) Graphic furnishes the following:Some months ago Dr. Melton was called

to see a lady who told a tale of misery andsuffering that astonished him. She com-plained particularly of great distress inherstomach, and told the doctor that the dis-tress had existed for some time and that shehad consulted a spiritualist that was withRobinson's circus, and had been told thatshe had swallowed a frog. The doctor after• critical examination, found that she wassuffering from an aggravated attack of dys-p&psia and bypochondriasis, and tried toconvince her that the fortune-teller had liedbut to no purpose. After two or three vis-its the doctor concluded to humor her, andafter a pretended examination told her hewas sure the froghad taken up its abode inher stomach, but he would soon remedythe trouble. Procuring a large frogfrom oneof the Chinese gardens, on his next visithe administered an emetic to his patient,and while it was doing its work, managedto slip the frog into the basin unobservedby her. On seeing the frog in the basinthe lady was much relieved, and was highinher praise of the doctor. Bat a fearfulthought came to her in the midst of herjoy. What if the frog had left some little|ones behind itT Explaining herself, sheshuddered withfear at the idea. The doc-tor was equal to the occasion. Picking npthe frog, he eyed it closely for a while, andreplied :

"Have no fear, madam, it is not

that kind of a frog."

Has been more destructive to human healthand life than war, pestilence and faminecombined." So said a distinguished mitermary years ago, and itis ai true to-day asthen. The poor vi.tmof Blood Disease isdrugged withMercury to cure the malady,and then dosed withiodides to cure him ofthe Mercurial Poisoning; but instead of anyrelief, the first breaks down his generalhealth and makes him a cripple, a- d theother ruins his digestive organs. To thoseafflicted in this way Swift's Specific is thegreatest boon on earth, and is worth m"rethan its weight in gold.
