-~ - A -i- fr< ill * BC*. Hriiun ib. laercaa**! Prol. A Waelnugton despatch says : Among tbe memoua transmitted to Congress b; tbe National Academy of Scienoee is , psper prepared by Prof. Alex. Graham Bell upon tbe (ormatioa of a deaf variel; cf the human race. Diaonssiug tbe mar uagee of deaf people, Prof. Bell says it is evident there is a tendency among dea nuteii to select deaf mutes as pinners in marriage, being continuously exbibitet during the pasi forty or fifty years, am there is ivsry probability snob seleotioni will oontinae in tbs future. " While we eanaot st preeent arrive at any per oentage," be continues, "it is certain tbe oition of deaf mute offspring born to mutes is many times greater ths proportion born to tbe peo ie al large. Reports of ths American Asylum, the New Tork, Ohio Indiana and Illinois institutions, show tbal ru each institution deaf motes have beeo received who belong to families containing five, six, or even more desf mates, and there is abundance evidence to indicate tbat BUB! tamiliM are very numerous in tbe 1'niter) States. In oasss where there are five or six children of oos family deaf and dumb some of them marry wben they grow up aod io many CMOS they marry parsons wbo belong, like themselves, to families containing several deaf mutes. Thus it happes* that ws have hers and there scat tared over the country groups of deal mate familise connected together by blooc aad marriage. Plans lor the formation ol a deaf mute community have frequently been discussed by deaf mutes themselves Tbe Ides originated in tbe action of Con- gress endowing Ibe American Asylum foi deaf mntee. at Hartford, with a tract ol land, and afterwarde developed a number of eoooutrio schemes for ths formation of a 4aaf mute community. Some of tbe pupils before graduation formed ao agreement to emigrate to the west aod stttle in a com moo place, aod a number of eobemee of a somewhat similar character were in tbe salads of deaf mutes in different parts ol Ibe) country. The scheme that received moot s| probation was tbe purehi f a tract of land by a tew wealthy deaf mates wbo were to agree to nil tbs land in small blocks to other deaf mutes. Tbe wbole scheme was afterwards discussed al tbs convention of deaf mutes of New England. aad wss overthrown by the influence of several teachers, in conjunction with the moat intelligent of the deaf motes them salves. Bines then tbs subject bas not been publicly disaueeed. bat each a scheme is still favored by individual deaf mntee, aod may, therefore bs revived in an organised shape any tims. A European philanthropist has oommsoosd the oolom/i tioa of a tract of land ic Manitoba by deaf aalee, upon wbioh a number of deaf mutes with thsir families from Europe bavs eattltd, aad more ars expected next year." Relative to tbe adoption of remedial measures to lessen c r check tbe formation of a deaf mow variety of the human race ia Amsnoa, Prof. Bell says : Toe inter- marriage of deaf mules might be forbidden by legislative enactment, but ao long ae deal SOUMS of both sexes exraUDua to aaeoeiate together in adult life legislative interference witb mar- riage might only promote immorality. Legislation forbidding tbe intermarriage of persons belonging to families containing more than ons deaf mute would be more practicable, bur it is doubtful whether legislative interference would be advisable." Tbs most promising method of lessening tbs evil, Prof . Bsll says, appears to bs in 1 ) i adoption of preventive msasurss, in which the grand central principle should be tbs retention of normal snvironmsnl dur- ing the period of education, tbe eelablub- ment of small schools, and the extension oi ths dsy school plan. Nearly one third of tbe teachers of tbe deaf and dumb in America are tbemeelvee deaf, and Ibis most be considered as another element favorable to the formation of a deaf race, and one to be avoided. Prof. Bell concludes : " Segre- gation of deaf mutes, tbs use of sign Ian Rusge, and Iks employment of deaf teachers produce an em iroumeot unfavorable to the cultivation of articulation and speech read- ing, and thai sometimes causes tbe disuse of speech by speaking pupils who are only of speecfe I fr-Blil.M.

Each WM in turn broken to splinters by the raging sea, and the crew were left without any mesne of escape. They clung to tbe vessel in tbe hope that tbe sea would subside. After twenty four boors of this wretched experience, during which they were nearly frozen, tbe barque sprung apart and went to pieces. Fvery person on board was precipitated into ths waves, and with ths exception of two men who reached hsre to-day, all wsre drowned. Tbe two survivors seized planks from tbs wrtok, on which they were carried ashore.

Tbe residents iu tbs locality were greatly alarmed. Tb bcok overthrew several wayfarers oo ihs Euaton road.

A needleee ocnoe in weight will therefore require tbe con- stant movsmsnt of Ibis ounce 90 000 times daily, or equal to more than half a loo. which tbe operator must expend in personal strength. Some tools are half a pound heavier than ose requires; aad day laborere, who use them, watte an amount of strength equal to wbole ion* in each day. The crowbar must be heaviest where tbe weight reste, and decrease in siae with tbe dielenos from this point. There ia often too little taper towards the band and eonseqasntly tbe bar is usually bsot under tbe weight, and no where else. A light plough, strong enough f ir continued nee, eoonomisee tbs strength ef the team. If twenty pounds too heavy, the friction wbioh these twenty pounds create on tbe eole in dragging over or through the soil, will require a force at leaet equal to tea pounds more thai ia necessary.
