~ made peace the Scotsman exclaimed:
*
Vacuum. es
The space’ above the mercury.in 8
thermometer is not a perfect vacuum.
There is not infrequently @ small: portion of air left in such space, and there
is always an atmosphere of the vapor
of mercury. Physically speaking,: it is
perhaps impossible to procure a vac
uum. It is most likely, that even if’
real. vacuum could be procuted for at
instant air.or other vapor ‘wotld at
once begin to be disseminated from the
sides of the vessel in which it.was
made, and it would thus instantly cease
to exist.
It is true that Dexartes denied the
very possibility of a vacuum and says,
“If a vacuum could be effected in a
vessel the sides would be pressed into
contact,” but it is hardly correct to
say, “Scientists say that a vacuum’ cannot, exist.” What scientists do say is
what Galilei said, “Nature abhors a
vacuum.” As the statement of a fact
is true, Nature does, to the best of our
knowledge, abhor a vacuum. She never
suffers it to exist to the extent of allowing any space which is perceptible
to our senses to be vacuous. Vacuum,
in scientific speech, simply means. 4
space. from which air has been expelled

MASONIC BUILDING, PINE STREET, NEVADA CITY
_ RST. In: 1860 BY N. P. BROWN &Co.
. Burnstaple Patr.
An anual fair at Barnstaple, Engjand,-has been held for hundreds of
years. It was originally held in July,
but the time was altered to September
by a charter. granted by Queen Mary.
Barnstaple fair is inaugurated with a
céremony in the town hall, where a
“ gpecial meeting of the town council is
held and spiced ale and toast (prepared
‘. In the council chamber by the beadles
and mace bearers) are dispensed to all
» who crowd the building. Appropriate
toasts are proposed and speeches made
by the local member of parliament and
others, after which the mayor preceeds
in procession to three points. of the
town, at each of which is read his proclamation opening the fair and enjoining all concerned to keep the peace during its continuance. Not until this
ceremony has been performed can the
business and fun of the fair proceed.
On the inauguration of the fair a huge
stuffed white glove, adorned with flow~
ers, Is thrust on a pole from one of the
upper windows of the town hall and
remains in evidence during the continuance of the festival as the symbol of
open handed welcome.
A Dance Without a Smile.
They have a singular kind of dance
conducted on the greens of country villages in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, a knot of young men here, a
knot of maidens there, each sex by it
self, and silent as a crowd of mutes,
A piper breaks into a tune, a youth
pulls off his cap and challenges hia
girl with ‘a wave and a bow. If the
girl is willing, she waves her handkerchief in token of assent. The youth
advances, takes a corner of the handkerchief in his hand and leads his las
sie round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh {a
beard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids the girl moves heavily by herself, going round and round, and never
allowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same’sad key and measure and the
prize of merit in this “circling,” as the
dance is called, is given by spectators
to the lassie who in all that summer
revelry has never spoken and never
smiled,

Transparent Salt.
Some remarkable salt formations
are found extending for thirty miles
along the Virginia river in Nevada.
The salt forms mountains of crystal
and is so pure and clear that fine print
can be read through a foot of it. This
region was evidently once occupied by
a great salt lake, as close by are some
wonderful wells, one of which, seventy-five feet in diameter, contains water so intensely saline that a person
bathing there will float Hke a cork.
Jules Verne’s Romance.
The story of Jules Verne’s courtshir
and marriage is a most romantic one.
Verne was u shy young fellow who had
a great dislike to the society of wom.
en, and it was only his affection fo.
his brother which led him to go to the
latter’s wedding. Verne, however, arrived too late and found that the whole
bridal party had left for the churcb
with the exception of the bride’s sister,
a charming young widow, who explain.
The friendship thus accidentally begun rapidly developed into
a warmer feeling and ended in a muarriage which may be described as ideai.
