A Gorman chemist -condemns 'boracic acid as an ineffective and poisonous food-preservative. A thermographic printing press, capable of turning out 400 impressions an hour from hot typo on wood, is a new Fronch production. It is said to yield results equal to lithography. Their grotesque alphabet is making the (aoruians a nation of nearsighted people. Defective vision is not only acquired, but it appears to be handed down to offspring. Colin found over six per cent of elementary pupils in Germany considerably myopic ; while in Antwerp Dr. De Mets finds only two por cont slightly affected. Langley finds that hardly one- fourth of the solar energy, as we receive it, is visible; while Hertz astonished tho German physicists by showing that, although the vis-. ible violet rays of the spectrum have no influence on electric discharges, the disruptive efforts of such discharges are increased by tho dark ultra-violet rays. A French botanist describes the ourious revivification property of the "resurrection plant" (Salagin- ellalepidophyUa). When the root withers, each branch curls up, and the plant appears more or less balllike. It may so remain a long time and when water is then supplied, the branches unroll, the green color returns, and growth re-commences. UOHSANGUIJJEOUS JlARDUOES.— Investigating marriages of near relatives, Mr, A. II. Huth concludes, as did Mr, G. H. Darwin some years ago, that the popular belief in sterility, or deaf-mute, idiotic or deformed offspring, as a natural result of such unions, is without foundation in faet. The effect is really to intensify the tendencies common to the progenitors, and it is only when the tendencies thus liable to be magnified in the descendants aro bad that unions of cousins need be avoided. Vegetable Armor—It has been recommended that refuse cocoanut fibre, which is very plentiful where the fruit is grown, be used as a blackingfor tho armor of war-vessels. Compressed plates may be made of it, which, on being penetrated so as 4a admit aaaaPsaywo uid qniclaljuswsll and close the orifice, preventing the sinking of the vessel. In recent experiments, bullet holes nearly an inch in diameter were made in half- inch plates of this material protected by boards, when a jet of water shot through but ceased to flow in less than one minute, RusT-PBEYEimo!*. — Iron and steel are protected from oxidation by giving them a coating of mag- netio oxide of iron, After much experimenting, M, de tferitens, the French electrician, hns succeeded in effecting this more satisfactorily than by the methods now in use, which require eight or ton days for steel, and givo only imperfect results for iron. He places tho article in a bath of pure wator at a temperature of about 175 degrees, and passes through it an electrio current a little moro than sufficient to decompose water. In a few hours all sorts of iron or steel receive a brilliant black and very hard coating of magnetic oxide, whioh takes a fine polish. Photographic Type-Settixo.— A very practical illustration of what science is doing for us is furnished by the reprint of tho Encyclopaedia Britannicn now boing completed in New York by the Henry G. Allon Co. The text, maps and platea of the 24 volumes aro copied exactly, with only a slight reduction in size, by tho gelatine photo-engraving process.- it is welt known that gelatine treated with bichromate of potash hardens in sunlight, covered parts remaining so soft that they may be washed away ; so that prepared gelatine plates exposed under negatives from printed pagee, and then washed give relief plates for printing. Through such a method, this reprint is published at at less than one- third of the prico of the English original. Surveys.—Tho various kinds of surveys now required by the governments and individuals are thui classified by Mr. Marcus Baker: I. Surveys for genoral purposes, or information surveys : 1, geodetic ; 2, geologic; 3, topographic (ordinary and military); 4, agricultural; 8, magnetic ; 6, nautical (hydro-graphic and physical). II. Surveys for jurisdictional purposes, or boundary surveys: 1, for defining boundaries of nations, states, counties, towns, etc.; 2, for defining property boundaries (cadastral and partition of land for sale). III. Surveys for construction purposes, or improvement surveys: 1, for constructing works, forts, arsenals, navy-yards, lighthouses, fishways, etc.; 2, for constructing routes of communication, roads, railroads, eleotrio lines, pipelines, oanals, etc.; 3, for reclamation of land, flood-plains, arid swamps, etc.; 4, for improvement of natural waterways; 5, for water-supply to centres of population; G, for disposal of sewage from centres of population, JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN Offered the Vacant Post of Minister at Washington, and Will Probably Accept.

Tho bar at tho mouth of the Columbia forms insuperable obstruction to erection of a navy yard at or near Astoria, for even if the government should sucooed in deepening, widening and straightening tho entrance, a hoslilo fleet in the timo of war oould soon batter down and destroy breakwutet-j and simitar structures, and make Columbia river bar as dangerous and impassable as ever. But Puget Sound has abundance of harbors which might be made into naval stations, and approaches to which conld bo readily fortified. There will be, too, a liumbnr of large cities on tho sound before very many years, and everything would scent to paint to tbat «b a proper locality for n new naval station. AN OLD TIMKlt GONE. Cambbidoe. Mass., Dec. 29.—Thos.

New Yobk, Dec. 29.—Tho stenmor Prince Mauritx arrived from Port nu Prince this mornim*, bringing tho first mails fcr several weeks. Chief OlHt-er Sibburlee aaid: "Everything was quiet in Port nu Piinco while we were there, Tbe people icem lo he satisfied with the election of Li-yili.no bs president of tho republic. When wo entered Port au Prinoe wo saw tho Haytien Republic covered with American flags. A number of mon from tho United States war ship Galena woro on board. On the day we left President Legitime was givon a reception on board tho Galena." Mr. Sibberleo said he loarued there was no bombardment of Cape Haytien, but that all northern porta were blockaded. The stoty told by Compte De Salava Herazimett and other passengers of the Prince Manritz present tho situation in Hayti iu an entirely different light. White the steamer wns at Jamei constant rioting was in progress. No business was transacted and disorder and lawlessness reigned. Ou Pec. 20th, the day of sailing, two hands of adherents of tlio opposing leaders, Legitime and Hippo- lite, met in tho street and firing at onco began and was warmly kept up. A frame house wns set on firo and tho flames spread unchecked throughout the town. The firo waa still in progress when the steamer sailed and the destruction of the town was imminent. At Port nu Prince, where the steamer next touched, the situation was almost as bad. No authority is recognized and all business at a stand still. COLD-BLOODED MURDER. Washington, Deo. 28.—The Freed- man's hospital was tho scone of a startling murder early this morning. The victim was a colored man named Isaac Carey, a nurse in the hospital, and the murderer was his brother, Taylor Carey, who was a patient in the hospital. About 5 o'clock this morning Taylor aroso and partially dressed himself, then he made his way to his brother's room where the latter was sleeping soundly. A large bulldog revolver belonging to the Bleeping man was lying in his clothing on a vacant cot. Taylor picked up the revolver and tired a shot, sending the bullet through* his brother's brain. After killing his brother, Taylor lett tho room and walked to the front door where lie stood fcr a moment, nnd thinking ho had not completed his deadly work ho returned nnd fired a second shot, sending this bullet, like tho other, through his brother's head. The murderer wai nrre3tcd. Money matters, ho claims, led to the killing. M0AULIPFE KNOCKI-I) OUT. San Francisco, Dec 28.—Joe McAu-! lille, the champion heavyweight of tlio Pacific coast, and Peter Jackson (celbred) the champion of Austialia, fought for a purse of §3,000 at the California Athletic Club this evening and McAulilii- was defeated in 24 rounds. Jackson showed his superiority in science from the start and, aided by his nullity worried McAu- , liffe immensely. The first blow of the : fight wo.'-struck by MoAulfffe and landed j lightly en Jackson's right ear. In the second rotuid Jackson led out with his right nml reaching the Cnlifornian's left car Vrithnshish started it bleeding. From tli-it idibo until.the 15th round there was but littlo hnrd woiir done, most of tho blows being very light aud without much eft'ect. At this time Jackson commenced pushing matters and McAuliffe's face, head and stomach became targets for the Australian's rapidly delivered blows. In nearly every succeeding round, after somo light sparring the latter would force McAuhffo towards a corner and when ho got him there he would punish him severely. The Pacific champion managed to retaliate occasionally but his blows appeared to bo devoid of force as they faded to distress Jackson. As time was called at the end of the 16th round, McAuliffe's wind was almost gone and his legs were shaky. In the next round Jackson took advantage of this and landed time and again on the Californian's stomach, again forcing the latter into a corner. Jackson turned his attention to McAuliffe's head where he hammered him severely. The twentieth round found Jackson still pushing matters, almost whenever he reached he touched, McAuliffe beiug unable to stop the blows. Blood began to drip from McAuliffe's nose and he wore a distressed look. In the next two rounds, McAuliffe's dusky opponent fought him all over the ring, now causing him to retreat into a corner and taking considerable punishment, then to the ropes where he was also hammered, Every one knew It was Jackson's fight, and that the end was not far off. Jackson camo spryly to the scratch when time for the 24th round was called and went fiercely at McAuliffe. The latter was once more forced into a corner and with a smash on his rihsand several moro on his head he went to the floor, a knocked out man. Duration of fight was one hour and forty minutes.

During tho trial he was heard to threaten to get even with his wife. On Saturday; morning a doctor was called to Mrs. Bertiier and found hor Eufi'eriog from poisoning with paris green, which her husband said she had taken despite his efforts to prevent her. Next day it was learned that she was dead. An examination of the facts seemed to allow that on Friday night, while the woman was still suffering from poisoning, Bernier beat her cruelly and thrust her out of doors into the bitter cold. She crept baok aud. be bent her again. She died Sunday. The deceased leaves three little children, the youngest only three months old. r-RESBYTEBIANS, NORTH AND SOUTH.

FOUR MUX KILLED, Denver, Doc. 20.—A fatal accident has just ocurred on Fiftceuth street, between Tremont aud Court Place, which resulted in the instant death of four men and n-ortally wounding two others. The Denver Gas Company had ,i hundred men employed excavating n ditch six foet dptjp along tho side of and underneath the track of tho cable car line, when suddenly tho track for an entire block fell crushing the lifo out of and imprisoning the men underneath.

London, Dec 29.—News comes finiii Bradford this morning of ahor- rible.murder, bo similar in its appalling details to tho villiany of the whitechapel fiend, ns to le.id to tho supposition that "Jack the Ripper" hai changed his scene of operations, or that dome murderous maniac has been imitating bis work. Tho victim in thia case, however, wu ft boy, only 8 years of ago, who was fonnd this morning in a stable, shockingly mutilated, his cars, nose, legs and arms had been cut off, the body bad been disembowelled, nnd the dismembered parts stuffed into the gory cavity, an was the case in the Whitechapel murders. The perpetrator of this horror left ho trace behind him. Bradford to-day is in a turmoil of mingled terror and excitement, there is but one topie of conversation and the streets in tho vicinity of the stable where the boy's mutilated body was discovered, are filled with an excited multitude. STILL ANOTHER HORROR. London, Deo. 29.—Scarcely have the people begun to recover from the shock of the first, than they are bonified by the report of another boy murdered. The body of a second boy, horribly mutilated, has been found. The police are searching the country around and aro assisted by volunteer parties. All railway stations are watched. The ; boy Gill, tho name of the second murdered boy found, whon last seen wu sliding on the ice with some companions. Tho clumsy way in which the murder was committed causes it to be supposed that it was done by drunken boys. A MILKMAN ARRESTED. London, Dec. 29.—Later news from Bradford says a milkman was arrested on suspicion of having committed the murder. The boy used sometimes to accompany the milkman on bis rounds and the prisoner was the first to recognize the mutilated body of tbe lad. It is now certain the body was placed in an out-house between the hours of four and seven this morning. "DOWN WITH AUSTRIA."

THK FRENCH IN NEWFOUNDLAND. London, Dec. 28.—The Pall Mall Gazette to-night publishes an appeal to the British government from Bev. Mr. Darby, a Methodist minister of Borne Bay, Newfoundland, for tbe protection of British subjects on the French shore from French oppression. He says that the people are being goaded to desperation and warns the government of the danger of bloodshed and murder unless British rights aro maintained. This appeal, together with the recent debate in the French senate, has directed attention here to n possible acute stage of tho dispute, as the French government complying with the bitter complaints of the French merchants* is now seeking to induce Euglancf agree to suppress the English lobal factories on the French shore. Th_ opinion expressed here is that these disputes sre hardly likely to be satis* factorily settled while Newfoundland remains isolated from the Dominion. FIRE BUGS AT WORK. BaiMlasa Han.nl al Tlctarl..—A. Fla. a-j, is. ow.fr, wan, wataiia« Iks Spocldl to Columbian.) Fire broko out at four-thirty thii morning in a single-story dwelling on Fort street, occupied by aba Hit- nandez, and quickly iprsad to the adjoining two-story house ocrapied by Rutland. Both hollies were destroyed. The loss il probably two thousand dollars. Partly covered by insurance. A. Finney, who owned tlio houses, while witnessing their destruction dropped dead. He waa subject to heart disease, whioh, with o.er- excitoinent, probably caused death. Chief Enginoer Deasy, while making his way through the dense smoke to the rear ol tho burning building, came in contact with a projecting object, receiving a severe though not serious wound on the face. The fire is evidently tho work of an incendiary, a previous attempt hiving been made, shortly after midnight, to burn ths buildings, on whioh occasion the lire was extinguished without sounding ths alarm by a couple of young men who wero the fint to duoorer ths blsie.

Perhaps, it can hardly be expected that they should. Whether the negro in the States is kept down by the white ruce, or whether he is exalted to fnll educational and social, as well as political privileges (which latter does not seem likely) our neighbors have a very vexed and tremendous question staring them in the face and constantly enlarging on their hands. We trust they may reach a successful and happy solution, as well in this ea in other matters that might he mentioned; but wo are just selfish enough to protest against sharing their responsibilities and perplexities, in consideration,even, of having their "surplus" applied to the liquidation of our "notional debt." Is thero not a clue in this rucial nightmare of tho United States to the eager ness of our neighbors to "assimilate" Canada) What if the score of the great republic, realizing that the "white trash" must soon vacate the southern states—leaving them to their fate as a sort of American JAtieriu or Sierra Leone— wisj/to annex the line country to rth«"north, so that they (tho real Americans) may have room to spread themselves right up to the nortii pole, and, if necessary, retreat down tho other side 1 Those questions suggest unpleasant possibilities. What nre we going to do about it I Wo can at least keep Cannda in our hands, and when tho time comes that our Yankee cousins aro crowded out of their own country, we can make room for a limited number in our great northwest and in the Mackenzie River basin. What moro can be expected of us, we do not see. women, but in the onm-celebroted caso of Helen Jegado thero were twenty-eight in three years,all being killed by poison, and apparently for the pure love of killing nnd witnessing suffering; in some cases tho sufferings of those who had befriended her—masters, mistresses, friends, and several nuns. And all the while Bhe affeoted an ardor of piety—awhile, indeed, an inmate of a oonvent. Our author deolares that a desire "to kill exists, to a greater or lesser extent, in tho mind of every human being without exception." Some love to kill "game or the lower animals, while others have an irresistible desire to kill their fellows. The mildost mannered man, he says has it at times, when sufficient cause comes. "It is inborn, instinctive, and no amount of civilization or refinement is sufficient to abolish it altogether." He says that crimes are sometimes done by thoso to whom the act of violence is repugnant, whose reason urges them, against their own acts, yet with not enough strength to resist tho impulse. Neither delusion nor emotional disturbance need come. At eno timo lio is calm, at another oxcitod, but always conscious of his acts. The opileptic may commit acts of violence while under a paroxysm, unconscious at thu timo, though remembering overy little detail whan it is dono» but such cases as e vory neurologist sees, so wo are told, havo at times an itching for murder. One man, of amiable disposition, asked to bo locked up and neglected an extensive business, for tho sudden impulse that came to him to commit murder. Ono, who was continually battling against an impulse to kill his wifo, cut off his own right arm. A young man applied for medical relief for cerebral hyperemia, admitting that with it had como a desire to kill a fellow clerk. So strong it was, indeed, that whenever his back was turned, he could scarce refrain from plunging a knife into him; once offering a cup of poison, and knocking it from his hand when he would havo put it to his lips. A woman with an impulse to jump from a window only escaped because, as she was preparing to spring out, a market boy slipped on the ice in tho street and tumbled about awkwardly, setting tho woninn laughing and driving the suicidal mood from hor. Such moods, it seems, may recur and may not. A young man could not see a fine dress without the impulse to injure it; running into tho nearest drug store for vitriol, and before the mood was gone, ruining over ono hundred fino gowns. Tho "reasoning" mania would seem, from its description, to be ono of the most dangerous, because attacking those from whom acts of violence are not to be looked for. One thus afflicted suddenly finds himself with a perversion of tho emotions, derangement of thn will; "knowing the impulse is a dangerous one, the act it imposes an unreasonable one." But he must do it, being seized with sanguinary fury. Such persons as aro unable to control their impulse to commit crime our author looks upon as in the same category with murderers and as meriting the same fate. TENDERS.

What wasthe motive 1 it adds, and continues: Most people who have followed Ihe history of these crime, coming as they have, one go quickly after another, have laid it to this or that cause, or, at least, it would seem so from those that have been made publio. Dr. Hammond, well known in the department of neurology ssys, in a recent paper, that no distinct motive was necessary, or, rather, that it may have been a mere fancy or freak, suoh as often comes to those with diieaied minds, I or even for the mere love of pain ' and cruelty—a luppoiition which i tbe hacking of the body in eaoh roue would seem to lead to.

His vigorous constitution brought him through after a long and painful confinement. . ->- Tbe status on ths left-hand side of Madison Square, In honor ol Farragut, has many pointi of Intereit about it. It la unique la design and very fair in execution, giving A very faithful picture of the restlessness and ulf-control which characterized the mux who lathed himself In a topmast that he might the mora freely use bis hands during the raging of a battle on the sea. In the broad expanse whleh lends such fantastic and ethereal welrdneu sf ter the hour of the eleotrio light to the Fifth avenue, Broadway and Madison square portion ot the city, stands a shaft of granite whleh Is passed dally by more than a million people, not one of whom casts a glance at it. Itll In honor to the memory ot Gen. Worth, a hero ot tho Mexican war, whose body had been brought from San Antonio ln thesummer ot 1835 and deposited temporarily ln Greenwood Cemetery. At that time Union Square wu so far uptown that the erection of the itatue of Wuhlngton then in I860 wu regarded u ilmost a slight to the Father of Us Country. Petition withont number wns received, begging that it be placed In eoms mon accessible portion of the city, so when it was decided to erect the monument to Worth ln thu triangle formed st the intersection of Fifth svenue snd Broadway, It wu o. though the aet needed an apology. When the City Hall wu built It wu so far uptown, in popular parlance, that It wu deemed unnecensry to build Its rear wall ot marble on the theory that lo few would ever get so far uptown u to see It. Tho consequence Is It stands to-day three sides marble and one aide freestone, and so when tbls monument tt Worth Wu finally erected, and the people aaked to gather about It during ths inauguration ceremonies, It wu u though we wen uked today, vrlth all onr facilities for getting uptown, to go to Riverside Park. However, it wu put then, and there it stands, looked at now and then by men and women from the country, always a source of wonder, a kind of conundrum needing elucidation. Butif amonnment to Wortb, who wu a gallant soldier, appears to need apologetto explanation, what must be uid of the caricature In bronze nt the Thirty-fourth street trian- 8ie, nominally erected by the Chamber of Oaimero, to William E. DouVe, a dealer ln metals, of no special prominence beyond the fact that ho wu rich and had numberless contests with the Government la respect ot invoices ud dutlesf No cue oould find fault with Mr. Dodge's heln had they, on ground of their purchasing, erected In bran or other suitable material a monument to the memory of tho dead merchant; bnt a mater piece of Impertinence cannot well he conceived than that which contemplated the taking a piece of publio property, In a location which en the coming decade Is passed will be the very hurt snd centra of tho town, on which to place u effigy which is u contemptible ln design ud feeble In execution u Its subject wu unworthy of tho prominence awarded ft. Without entering at all upon a consideration ot the reputation In whleh Mr. Dodge was held by thousands ot his fellow-citizens, snd withont considering at all themisconcep- tlon of his true position In life and In mercantile circle, which coming generations muit necessarily obtain from, the simple fact of the existence ot the itatue, regarded us work of art It Is beneath contempt and should not be permitted scupy the prominence swarded it. At ths Fifth avenue entrance to Cen tral Park Is a round piece of ground known st onetime uthe Tweed Plus, upon whloh.lt wu imposed to erect a itatue of William M. Tweed, then living. A mbsoripUon paper wu utarted, aad appended to It wen and an the names ot New York's fonmsst citizens. Its wealthiest merchants, ita leading lawyen, the conspicuous futon In social ana literary Ufa. The Plus nmalui, the itatue Is u yet uncut. Tweed long since faded fnm eight , SuppoM thst ststns hsd been cist In bronze or cut In msrble snd placed upon its pedestal, how would New York feel about It today! With what feelings would It be re- garded. what sentiments wonld it evoke, and does not that teach a lesson-the folly ot building or snetlng monuments to men yet living; ud dowlt not also teach a lesson-the absurdity of utilizing publio property for Individual glorification ud for the gratification of family pride ud the tickling of personal vanity• New York', lower sections sn not well adapted for the expoiun of status-*.

Sir John Thompson, minister of justice, was interviewed lately in regard to tho question of tho employment of convict labor. The minister said he had seen the recommendation of the judge and jury at Kingston, but did not snow that the convict, could bo employed to any greater degree than they are at present "Every man, woman and child," Hid the minister, " is kept employed from morning until night, but they have not an hour to spare for any other purpose. True, we do not dispose of their work outside, but all the proceeds go towards tho maintenance of the prisons. At Kingston we have convicts constantly employed in the quarries, and as new cells are being built or old ones rebuilt, convicts sro also employed in that work. For fho ironwork that ii required there aro convicts who, as blacksmiths, prepare all that is required. At New Wostminstor the conviots havo carried out repairs whioh, if given to a contractor outside, would have necessitated the expenditure uf a considerable sum. At that institution in instructor hat beon engaged to teach carpentering. Many of the convicts aro Itopt at farming work, the products of which aro nil und within the institution.

It will also bo remembered that she left her threo babies to the caro of her husband when sho volunteered to nurse tho Walworths, and that these children arc so youug as to require a mother's constant attontion. Since the death of his wife, Van Luvon has not beon able to leave home to earn tho money neceaaary to bring his sister from England who will tako the placo of tho dead mother in the care of tho little ones, and ho is thereby placed in a position verging on absolute poverty. Considering that Mrs. Van Luven nursed tho Wolworths for somo weeks and lost hor life, invaluable to her family, in doing ao, it is thought that Van Luven should recoive Bomo recompense from the government, and a petition is being dra'vn up recommending the same. If n small allowance is made Van Luven will be ablo to bring his sister from England aud this will ensure to the children tho caro which ia their due. We hope the petition will be largely signed and that it will receive the favorable consideration of tho government. PERSONAL. Senator Mclnnos left for Ottawa today. 1).

S., who has been engaged since 1887 in exploring extreme Northwestern Canada arrived at Edmonton, N. W. T, on Monday. The route punued by the party was from the Pacific up Chilckat Inlet by steamer ovor Laing Pan to Lake Lide- munonthe Lewis River, the main branch of the Yukon, down the Lewis River by canoes to the international boundary line. It has always been supposed that the Lewis was the main strenm of the Yukon, but the Hooto- lenqua, which joins tho Lewis from the east about 100 miles from tho coast, is tho main stream proper. This river, at its junction with the Lowis, is linger and the water of a darker color. The party wont into winter camp on the Yukon near the international boundary in tho latter part of September 1887. Camp wns struck on March 4th when tbey deeended tbo Yukon to a smsll creek. Thoy deoended !to tho head through a pitas in tho Nohani range of mountains to the head waten of Porcupine' River. The Porcupine was descended to its confluence with Bell's Rivor, coming in from tho oast. This was ascended to a pan in the Rockies about eight and a half miles lung with nothing to prevent a lint class railway being built through it. Erom the cast ond of the pass a small mountain stream was followed to iti junction with the Bell River, flowing into the MaoKenzie. The total distance travelled from the Yukon at the boundary to Peel River was 318 miles, crossing two mountain ranges. The McConnell geological survey party wai met at the Peel. The ascent of the McKenzie was begun on January 27th, and it continued nntil it combined at Chippewayan with the survey of the Peace and Athabasca Rivera made by Mr. Ogilvie, in 1880, a distance of 1,417 miles.
