Their ef- forts, however, seem to be aitended by many complex difficulties. Having been appointed & committee to oe some interesting ex. | oalieets explained in a recent paper by Pro- fessor Dana on the “Correlation of Blind and Straddie,” Professors Huxley, Darwin and Tyn- dall pursued their researches from 7:30 p. m. one Saturday until 11:15 a m Sunday, and i} Sos Huxley, the chairman, reported a3 | follows: Your committee, after arduous labor and great expense, find that, while the Dana theory of Elevation of Straddies, as contained in his Paper, 18 Correct in the premise, it is sometimes isastrously fallacious in the conclusion. One of the experiments by your committee Droved this, as foliows: The sentor hand, gov- erned by myself, consisted before the draw of obe stratum of ensanguined jacks, one stratum of sable queens andone accidental but wori- less diaraond—almost as valuable a formation as that instanced by Professor Dana. ‘The sub- senior band, engineered by Professor Tyndall, Was Learly re sere with smail spades,the beautiful continuity being only bobtalled at one end by a healthy but inefficacious heart, ‘rhe junior hand, under the management of Pro- fessor Darwin, consisted before the draw, as he states, of one thin stratum of deuces, with three sub-strata of detritus—an eight, a four and a six of assorted suits. Profesazor Tyndall and Darwin having duly entered, I generously uplifted the revenue to the extent of the limit, which in our case was £10. To this Professor Tyndall readily accedod. Professor Darwin demurred for several min- utes, arranged and rearranged his strata tn an lnceriain aud, as we thought, nervous manner, but finally concluded his meditation and con- tributed quite a handsome fossil collection to- wards the general centre. To me he then dealt one substratum, to Prof. Darwin one, and to hiunself three. Applying myself to the taxtder- mist’s art, [ soon discovered that my formation Of jacks had been wonderfully enriched, the triple strata of which even now, resting upon my stratum of queens, quite filled my hand. Prof. Tyndall then, after riers J his newly acquired stratum with evidences of suppressed emotion, advanced one fossil, to the value of £2. Prot. Darwin took a panoramic view of his strata, and nearly covered that, and, to my great delight, added asmailer fossil to the value of 10 shillings. I promptdy covered both de- posits and then proceeded to hoist Prot. Darwin to the extent of €10. Still further to my de- light, Prof. Tyndali elevated me in like ratlo. I naturally feared that now Prof. Darwin would retire. So did Professor Tyndall, who half regretted having put on so ive a front to bis usually timid friend. But to our immense satisfaction Professor Darwin, after agalo reviewing his strata to see if they were ail there, not only nimbly ascended Professor Tyndall's elevation, but capped it, as before, With 10 sbillipgs Rejoicing secretly in the wisdom of the Dana theory, but with an artful simulation of hesitation designed to encourage my fellow-investigators I again climbe1 over both precipitous heaps to the extent of £10, Then began a contest which now comes to me lke @ Diurred and hideous dream. Professor Tyndatl leaped over me, Professor Darwin hopped over him and J turned somersaults over Protessor Darwin, until not only was my entire fessii collection, my pocket portfolio of engraved portraits of government celebrities and ebecks for half the sum of my accumulations in the East India Bank heaped on the pile, with Professor Tyndall's watch and eye-glasses and fine polariscope and collar-buttons, tegetLer with his seal ring, a mortgage on his house, an order for seven months’ ad- vance as secretary of your honorabie body, and a transfer order for two-thirds of his registered consois, but also drafts from Profes- sor Darwin upon his publisher for the entire gross receipts of a new edition of the “Descent of Mad,” abd a corrected revision of the “Origin Of S:ecies,” with a clear deed of the copyright ofa kK now in preparation. I now naturally began to fear lest my zeal = bight the Professor Darwin, whose ‘acq' ‘the science under discussion was but limited at best, and who, I felt quite certain, merely per- severed througii a gentlemanly spirit of accom- modation. But as Professor Tyndall continued his muscular exercise in boosting my ventures, apd as Professor Darwin would each time mildly encourage him with a 10 shilling prod, I still continued. Finally, when my overcoat and Professor Tyndall's rubber goloshes and Professor Darwin's telescope hat had been added to the heap on the extra table brought in to hold the increasing pie, the hands were called all round, Prof. Darwin apologeti- cally saying that he Gale4 simply because he Had nothing more to bet but his sleeve butto: which were a birthday present from his wi! Upon the call, I looked at Prof. Tyndall. Prof. Tyndall looked at Prof. Darwin, and Prof. Dar- win looked at both of us. Prof. Tyndall satd that he bad not foreseen this—that he had been bounced bigher than when he was on top of the Matterhorn, and had forgot himself in his ex- eitement—that he was so sorry he couldn't Ubink, but he bad an ace flush. He then started to gather in and count up the pot. I checked bint, and with tears in my eyes confessed that I bad been very, very wrong, Dut that I nad really supposed Prof. Tyndall3 strata were more nearly like my own—4hat I felt keenly for Prot. Darwin, who had been dragged innocently into the destructive costest—that I would ebeerfully return to bim his vest and comforter and pcelka dot handkerchief and telescope hat, and to Prof. Tyndall his eye glasses and goloshes and one collar button. and beg th not to mention it— that 1 had been surprised at the tremendous developmental effect of the draw upon the ger- minai protoplasm of my hand and had been uo- necessarily deluded into ralsing—and that I Was almost ashamed to say it, as they were friends, Dut that I had three jacks anda pair of queens, Ithen burst tnto tears and began to rake tn the small change, In this I was as- sisted by Professor Darwin, who certatnty dis- iayed the utmost stolcism throughout. At length, when the huge pile was sorted, and the value roughly estimated, I thought tO console him and asked him what he The horror of both Professor Tyndall and myself can only beimagired by your Jearned body when we ‘saw Professor Darwin deliberately first pocket the neatly folded bank notes, and then the rots of guipeas, and then put Professor Tyndali’s watch In bis fob, and try on Professor Tyndall's goloshes, and adjust Professor Tyndail’s eye- glasses on bis nose, and test them by running over my hand again, and put on my overcoat and stuf the pockets thereof with the mort- gages and deeds and checks, &c., which had ac- curmulate%, and then pass in the fossils to me to be cas..ed, and finally, with a delicate smile of condolence, skin out four deuces and a king.

In conclusion 1 would respectfully beg to withdraw my offer to make at my own ex- hee & scientific investigation of the theory of Professor McCosh, of Princeton, that “stralgh's absolute in jack-pots.” Professor Tyndall also desires me to say that his fatling he alth will prevent his equ!pping and accompanying tbe proposed party toexplore the giacters of the Jungfrau, and says they must equip themselves or stay at home.

JAMES R. KREENE’S RACING PRO- JECTS, ‘The death of the famous English stallion, Blue Gown, during the trip of the steamshtg Victoria to this port has attracted much atten- tionto the Plans of James R.

He has been Lepr oi ginnrel at Property in Virginia, and it has reported tbat he bad bought a valuable farm in the Shenandoah valley. The fact Is that he has not reached a decision. The price asked for the property was about $200,000, and this be consid- ered beyond its value. The condition of Mr. Keene’s racing stable in England ts rded as promising. Most of tue horses were affected py the voyage to England and the change of climate. Several did noi rao during the season for that reason.

Keene has bought recently a large inter- est in Jerome Park. He purchased one-fourth of the capital stock of the Jerome Park Villa Site and Improvement Company. The price paid kas not been made public. The stock of this company, which amounts to $1,000,000, was. Admitted last week to the {ree-list of the Stock Exchange. The company owns Jerome Park (126 acres), the Loring Andrews property .n the twenty-fourth ward (23 acres), the Park View and Hargons property, known as “Deadhead Hill” (25 acres), the Jerome Park Rallway, and $160,000 of the stock of the Coney Island Jockey Club. It intends to build suburban houses in the netghborhood of Jerome Park. Plans aie bow preparing for double houses with ap open space between the blocks. These will cost about $12,900 for each block of two houses, They will be sold or rented. The first of them wi!) be built on Loring Andrew’s land, which overlooks the Inwood site chosen for the World's Fair. After covering this property the company will build on the Park View and Har- gens iots. Leonard W. Jerome sald recently: “We will surround Jerome Park with houses good enough for any one to livein. They will such as to attract a class of people eligible as membersof the club. Rapid transtt will be almost at their doors. The objection to couatry life hitherto has been the lack of society. One missed his club of an evening and declared life in the country a bore.

To do this, first thread a crewel-needie with scarlet zephyr, and counting eight squares across the canvas, mark them with a colored pencil; then count- ing eight perpendicularly from each corner, mark again; then eight horizontally from these, andeight again per dicularly; mark them, and count elght horizontal cnes, running to- ward; now count eight apd gic and unite them with eighi horizontal dots, and you ‘will have formed a equare cross. Make sixteen of these. Next proceed to cover the dots with scarlet zephyr In cross-statch; then cover with the beads, thus: Thread a needie with strong thread (No. 24), making a knot, and fastentng to the canvas at the_tutrd douole stitch from the top scarlet line af the left hand side; work a row of beads. allowing each one to cover two downward threads of canvas, and six which Tub across, making three double-threads- of canvas. One row finished, slipthe needle along to two more double threads, from where the first Tow commenced, and work this row with two double instead of three double threads of can- yas. Preceed thus, working alternately the two rows described, until the blocks are all filled. Any beads that will cover the canvas so entirely that one brilliant gitttering mat 1s formed will answer as well as those mentioned; but we have found the finest effecttrom using the gold and silver lined “German,” “cpaque white bugle” beads; and the beauty such a mass of Clear, sparkling blocks can not be understood from any mere description. After finishing all the crosses prepare a cup- ful of strong flour paste, mixed 1p glue {nstead of water, and with If saturate the lining, and when partially dry place under a pi first covering with a folded cloth to prevent crush- ing the beads. ‘When all the crossesare perfectly dry, cut out the canvas Close to the scarlet woolen line, using very sharp scissors, and taking great care not to Cut the sutches. Finally, take slik or cotton of suitable color, and sew eight of the crosses together; then a second set of elght, jolning them together by the*foints, and then uniting them to form a circle. Make a bottom of floor oil-cloth cut to the proper size, and bound round the edge with strong colored tape or other material, to which fasten the case by the points of the crosses. Tormake a hanging basket of this make a bottom by crocheting with heavy cotton in double crochet over six rows of cord, then saturate with thick glue-paste, thor- oughly, and varntsb; then cords with the beads, and fastening them to each bottom int of the crosses, unite them about six uches below, and make a long bead tassel to depend from the point; or forma net-work of beads to fit around and hang down below the jJower circle. Finish the top with a row of beads worked in scallops on fine flexible wire. using more or less according to the size of the beads, but ee Scallop Should extend across the points Of the crosses, and_ be fastened to a wire covered Closely with beads. Make handles upon each side with wire strung with beads and bent into proper form, fastening them securely to the solid part of the upper crosses.—Harper’s Bazar, Art and Dress, Searcely of less import than sex and age are the height, size, and general proportions 0° the figure. Tall and stumpy people cannot with impunity be dressed In one pattern, the stately lagy sweeping through marble hulls can grace fully carry queenly robes that would crush the pretty little lady dwelting in a cottage. Tac present inclination is to treat dress a3 drap-ry, and to consider the one as simply utilitariad and the other, as if of necessity, supremely artis- Ue. The points of the figure are wsed as p2gs Whereon to hang out decorative fabrics, aad poy Sartor Resartus might stigmatiz2 our living jadles as lay ligures and our intelligen men as stalking clothes-horses, Some dresses are for sitting or standing only, some for walk ing, while others reduce the free action of the figure to pbysicai endurance, A lady maklog a morning call was asked to take a seat, Duc she bel etl) excused, becauge having on “a walking costume,” she could not sit down. Yet nature in building up the human frame- work had a more extended scheme, which fashion would do well not 50 relentlessly to thwart. As to the length of adress, that will much depend on whether the feet are of a beauty deemed to be worth displaying; if in- viling to cast a glimpse on, they will probably be permitted “like little mice to peep in and out,” hence some ladies wear “gowns always short when other people's are long, and go about holding them up above the high- est water-mark in fine weather.” ‘Tne shoulders, which call for at least as much anxious care as the feet, admit of varied decorations, as with scarf, shawl, mantlla, veil, robe, toga. ‘A black scarf carries an alr of respect, which ts in ttself protection, A woman thus attired glides on her way like a sinall close-reefed vessel, light and trim, seek- Ing Do encounter. but prepared for one, Much, however, depends on the wearer; indeed, no articte of dress is such a revealer of the charac- ter.

What she wears, though perchance homely, 13 always good; not a scrap of tinsel or trumpery appears upon her; she in no gaudy con- fusion of colors, nor does she affect a studied sobriety, but she either refreshes you with a spirited’ contrast, or com you with a judicious harmony.” And the secret of her suc- cess simply consists in her “knowing the three id _unities of dress—her own station, her Own age, and her own points. And no woman can dress well who does not.”—Good Words, How John Morrissey Escaped a Millionaires aed ‘The gossip afloat about the condition of the estate of the late John Morrissey recalls the transaction in which the deceased just. missed being a millionaire.
