Insects Fmnlsh the Cheapest Form of Light. Philadelphia Times. The retirement of C. V. Riley from the post of United States entomolo? gist removes from Government em? ployment one of the most eminent in? vestigators of the city. Science un? der Uncle Sam's auspices has done no more important work than has been accomplished in the study of insects. In that branch of the animal creation Secretary Langlcy, of the Smithsonian Institution, has made perhaps the most picturesque research?relating to the light afforded by fireflies. This light. Prof. Langley has dis? covered, is the most economical il" luniinant in the world. It is one hun? dred times as cheap as gas. That is to say, there is no waste, whereas the waste in burning gas or lamps is more than 99 per cent. In other words, the consumer pays a dollar for every Cent's worth of light he gets. With clec1 tricity the waste is less, but still enor? mous. The firefly light expands no energy in the shape of heat. So here is what might be termed a cool light without waste. If a pro? cess could be invented for producing it in large quantities by artifice, the discovery would be of enormous bene? fit to mankind. Incidentally, elec? tricity and gas would be driven out of use for illuminating purposes. That the secret will be found sooner or later is not at all unlikely. The notion formerly held that the light was part and parcel of the life of the firefly has been exploded. It is now believed to bo simply a product of chemical com? bustion. Such being the case it ought to be practicable to produce the phenome? non in the laboratory or even on a large scale. This peculiar light term? ed "phosphorescence" has received little attention from scientists up to date ; it affords an attractive field for investigation. The supposition is that it is made by the slow, combus? tion of material secreted uuder the" coutrol of the nervous system of the insert. It is produced at one-four hundredth-of the cost of energy ex? pended in a candle flame. Nothing is lost in the shape of heat, the light giving organs having the same temper? ature as other parts of the animal. More than one hundred and fifty families of animals on land and in wa-* ter, embracing tens of thousands" of species, produce such phosphorescent light. They yield enough of it to il? luminate London, Paris and Phila? delphia. The surface of the ocean is alive with luminous crustaceans, jelly fishes, etc., not to mention innumera? ble vegetable organisms, each of which .o a tiny lantern. In the depths swim lamp-bearing fishes. On land crawl glow-worms and "electric centipedes," while in the air fireflies and "light? ning bugs" of many kinds disport themselves. All of this light crowded into one place would "hardly affect a thermometer. The most brilliant light afforded by any land animal is that of the famous firefly of the tropics known as the "cucujo." Thirty-eight of them yield one candle-power. Photographs have been printed by two-minute exposure of bromide plates to their illumina? tion. People in Cuba confine them in paper lanterns for going about the country at night or for indoor light? ning. Sometimes they attach one of the insects to each foot for travelling in the dark to serve as a guide to the path. Also they use .them as orna? ments for the dress and hair. It is with these fireflies that Prof. Langley conducted hi^ experiments. They.are beetles, beginning life as grubs, "Skipjacks" or "spring-tails" they are sometimes called, because, when placed on their backs, they jump over with a clicking sound. A small species of the same family is found in Florida and Texas. They have two luminous spots on the thorax and an? other on the abdomen. Damp even1 ings are most favorable to the light giving, the object of which is presum? ably to attract the sexes. The young larva? feed largely on snails, to which their bite is poisonous. The lumi? nous organs are developed before the insects leave the eggs. Now, a theory formerly held was that these fireflies stored up light in the daytime for emission at night?as is done by the so-called "luminous paint" of calcium sulphide* But it was found that they shone as brightly as ever after being confined for ten days in darkness. Some that were carried all the way from Cuba to Havre in the pitch-black hold of a vessel were brilliant on their arrival. A more striking disproof, however, was afforded by a batch of larva) hatched in the dark from eggs laid in the dark in a piece of rotten wood, the young inserts being kept in darkness for the first six mouths of their lives. They shone. ? Prof. Langley decided that the light did not depend on the vital principle of the insect. He found that the egg became luminous on being shaken in a glass receptacle. Then he dried the eggs and kept them in that condition for a long time. On being moistened they shone. The dried eggs were powdered in a mortar, but they gave light on being moistened. The bee? tles themselves, twelve hours after being killed by electricity, -were still luminous. So the Professor infers that nothing more than a chemical cobustion is concerned in the manu? facture of this "cheapest light." He thinks there i3 hope that we may be able to reproduce it some day. To make a light equal in brilliancy to that of this tropical insect we must produce a temperature of 2,000 de? grees. The firefly's lamp creates no heat that can be detected by the most delicate instrument. Its energy is entirely expended in illumination. Nature, while offering object lessous in the art on every hand, laughs at man's efforts to imitate her in this field. There is a device known as "Gcisslcr's tube" by which a much greater light than that of the firefly is made without any heat, electric sparks being flashed through rarified gases ; but it is only a plaything of thclabra tory. There arc a good many kinds of fire? flies in the world. Those which give an intermittent light are popularly distinguished as ''lightning bugs." The glow worm of literature is the fe? male of a European firefly. She never acquires wings. Her luminous sub? stance is a soft, yellowish grease, ex? tending in a thin layer along the inner sides of the abdomen. A few glow worms exist in the United States, but they are rare. The common fireflies of this country have wings, females as well as males. The larvae are stout bodied anu grub-like, found under stones and logs. They yield some light, Mosquitoes are the favorite prey of the Cuban fireflies. It is a pity that our own species have not the same taste. The "electric centipedes" al? ready referred to are black crawlers with many legs, which have been lik? ened to serpents, skeletons in minia? ture. They move in snake-like fash? ion, forward or backward, leaving a bright trail of light. However, they are most accustomed to appear in the daytime, when the illumination they afford is not visible. A little after sunset the ''?lightning bugs" begin to creep up spears of grass and to show their lights. They fly irregularly up wards, flashing at intervals, to height of forty or fifty feet. The light produced by marine ani raa.ls is of a similar character?th same mysterious phosphorescence. In certain fishes of the ocean depths the illuminating organs arc very com? plex. Some of them have spots on their sides which are regular bulls' eyc lanterns, each having a lens and reflector of its own. These are so connected with the nervous system of the animal that they can be flashed or turned off at will. Others of these finny, creatures carry luminous bulbs at the ends of whisker-like filaments. Such bulbs arc usually near the mouth, so as to suggest the notion that they are employed as bait to attract prey. What Dynamite Is, Very few people have a correct idea of what dynamite isj of what it is made, and the uses to which it is put. To the French belongs the honor of its discovery and its first practical use. ' Nitro-glycerihc is the force of all high explosives. Dynamite is the name most usually given to these ex? plosives, though other names are sometimes used. Dynamite is simply nitro-glycerinc mixed with various in? gredients. Nitro-glyccrineis made by mixing sulphuric and nitric acids with sweet glycerine, the same that is used by the ladies to prevent chapped hands. Mixing the acids and glycer? ine is where the danger lies in the making of nitroglycerine. The mix? ing tank, or agitator, as it in called by dynamite makers, is a steel tank, fill? ed inside with many coils of lead pipe ; through which, while the mix? ing is in progress, a constant flow of ice water is maintained. The flow of ice water is used to keep the tempera? ture of the mixture below 85 degrees, as above that point it would explode, and a hole in the ground would mark where the factory had been. The ni tro-glycerine is stored in large earth? enware tanks, which are usually sunk in the ground, to guard against blows or severe concussion. The other in? gredients for making dynamite are ni? trate of soda (which is found only in Chili), carbonate of magnesia and wood pulp. Dynaniiieis put in paper shells usu? ally one and a fourth inches in diame? ter and eight inches in length, and weighs about half a pound to each shell or cartridge. It has largely taken the place of black powder, for blasting, as it is many hundred times stronger, and consequently more eco? nomical. It is used chiefly in mining all kinds ores, coal and rock, and in submarine blasting and railroad build? ing. Without its aid many railroads, especially those crossing the Rocky Mountains, could not have been con? structed ; without it Hell Gate, in the East river, New York, could not have been destroyed; and without it the miner, at prices now paid for mining ores, could not earn his bread. Dynamite will not explode from any ordinary fall or jar ; it will burn with? out explosion, and freezes at forty two degrees, ten degrees above ordi? nary freezing point. The bomb of the anarchist is made of metal or glass and filled with pure nitro-glycer ine, arranged so as to explode by se? vere contact with any hard object. These bombs are, of course, never made by a reputable dynamite factory. Five or six millions of dollars are invested in the manufacture of dyna? mite in the United States, and its use is constantly on the increase. The fumes of nitro-glycerine produce in? tense headache, which can be cured by taking a very small dose of it inter? nally.?Ddroit Free Press. A Sermon in a Circus Ten*. Forepaugh's circus was in Chicago last week. Oh Sunday morning there was no performance, and Mr. Moody hired, the big teut for a gospel service. A great multitude variously estimated at from 10,000 to 15,000 was present. It was a sight which one will not see more than about once in a life-time. Mr. McNeill and Mr. Moody each preached a short sermon, and the singing was lively and rapturous. We do not believe there were 20 disinter? ested people there. Attention was eager and sustained. The words of the preachers fell upon many ears unaccustomed to the gospal mes? sage. Some veteran circus people had not heard a sermon for almost a life? time. Mr. Moody's text was one upon which he so often preaches : "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." After he had finished, a little boy with hand? some face and form, was brought to the platform by an officer, who said he had found him wandering in the crowd evidently lost. Mr. Moody took the little fellow in his arms and, standing before the great throng, ask? ed the people to look at the lost child. "This boy has a father who is no doubt at this moment looking for him with anxious heart," said the preach? er. "The father is more anxious to find his boy than the boy is to be found. It is just so with our Hea? venly Father. He is seeking us to? day, seeking us with unspeakable so? licitude. For long years he has been following you, oh, sinner : He is fol? lowing you still. He is calling you to-day." At this instant a man with blanched face and excited eye was seen elbowing his way toward the platform. As he reached it the little boy saw him and running quickly over the platform, threw himself into the father's outstretched arma. The mul? titude witnessed the scene with breathless attention, and then broke into a mighty cheer. "Thus," cried Mr. Moody, "will God receive you if you run to Him to-day. 'The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.'" The impression made by the incident was very great, and as nhe people filed out many eyes were filled with tears. God providen? tially gave to the preacher a most vivid and effective object lesson with which to illustrate and enforce his message. A Legend of Solomon. There is a Turkish legend to the following effect: When Solomon was ruling on earth, the angel Gabriel was sent to him one day with a goblet fill? ed with the water of life and bearing from on high the message that if he chose he might drink of the water and become immortal. Calling together all his wise counsellors, he asked their advice. They, with one consent, ad? vised him to drink and live forever. Then he summoned the birds and beasts of the field, and all of them gave the same advice, with one soli? tary exception. This was the hedge? hog. Approaching the king's throne, and bending its brow to the ground thus did it speak : "If this water may be shared by thee with thy kith and kin, then drink and enjoy the bliss of living. But if it is intended for thec alone, then do not drink. For sad would it be for thee to live on but to see thy kinsmen and friends one after the other disappear." "True are thy words, O hedgehog," replied the king. "To me alone has the water been sent, As thou hast counseled, so will I decide." Thus spoke Solo? mon ; and the water of life did he not drink. ? A cyclone at Tuxpon, Mexico, destroyed nearly all the houses in the town ftnd killed tfi? persons, A Negro's Cool Suicide. Bock Hill, S. C, June 13.?Quite an excitement was caused in East Chester last week by the suicide of a negro by the name of Josiah Crawford, by drowning himself in the Catawba River on last Sunday. Sundnj' morn? ing ho insisted on his family going to Church, saying he did not feel well and would not go. After the family left Crawford went down the river meadow, where he had his cow tied to graze, and cutting the rope by which the cow was secured, went to the river bank where he hung Ins hat nod coat and tied his handkerchief on a limb overhanging the water. Then he tied his hands with the rope and passed it around his neck several times, and walking out upon a bent tree, jumped into the water. That afternoon when the cow went home with the rope cut the family suspected something was wrong and went down to the meadow to ascertain what it was. Tracks were discovered leading from where the cow was ti^d down to the river and where Crawford's coat and hat were hanging, but none could be found leading away. They concluded at once he had drowned himself, and as he did not make an appearance the nest morning their suspicion was confirmed and a searching party was organized and the river thoroughly dragged without suc? cess. Last Wednesday Mr. Kirkpat rick was standing on the river bank at the point where Crawford was sup? posed to have jumped in when the body suddenly shot up out of the wa? ter, which is said to be thirty feet deep at that point. Kirkpatrick was so surprised, he thought the dead man was after him and made tracks as fast as Lis feet would carry him. Later on a party secured the body, and held an inquest. Some of the negroes say the devil ran Crawford into the water, and can not be coaxed to go near the place. Few negroes commit suicide and they say this is a warning to them all that the devil will catch all who do. ? Greenville News. The Antc-Bellum Nfgro Preach>r. The ante-bellum negro preachers were the product of the times, and differed from the mass of their race only in the fact that they were shrewd? er and more eloquent. Among them were many men of piety, good sense and burning zeal. In others there was a combination of cunning, superstition, excitability and volubility almost in? describable. To the former class belonged a noted negro preacher of Culpepper County, Virginia?an old man of blameless life and venerable appear? ance, who so entirely commanded the confidence of the white people, and whose influence with the people of his own race was so wholesome, that no one thought of enforcing a statute against him then existing which re? quired that at every gathering where six or more negroes were assembled a white man should be present. De? spite this statute Uncle Jack came and went as he pleased, trusted by the whites and venerated by the blacks. At one of his meetings a party of mischievous young white men planned to have a little fun at the old man's expense. Waiting near the door of the rustic chapel until the service was concluded, the party approached the old preacher and their spokesman mid : "Old man, we are officers of the law and patrolling this beat. You have violated the law and we arc going to whip you for it. Come along with us." They led the way to a thicket near at hand, Uncle Jack following in si? lence. "Have you nothing to say old man ?" asked the spokesman. "Nothing, Marstcr," said Uncle Jack. "Perhaps you don't think wc really intend to whip you," said the young man, "but we will. Have you noth? ing to say to that ?" "No, sir," said Uncle Jack; "I have nothing to say. The fact is, marsters, I have often wondered that I have never been whipped before. St. Paul was a much better man than I am, and they whipped him almost eveiywhere he went. I have preach? ed much longer than he did, and never had a whipping in my life. It seems to me, my young marsters, that I ought to have at least a few licks." The young scapegraces looked at each other in confusion, and it is need? less to say that Uncle Jack was not whipped. Braddock's Sash. Washington, June 3.?Mrs. Bettie Taylor-Dandridge, only surviving daughter of Prudent Zachary Taylor, now an aged woman, living at Win? chester, Va., has discovered among the relics of her father the long-miss? ing sash of General Braddock. This sash was sent by General Gaines to .General Taylor just after his brilliant achievement on the Rio Grande, in 1846. A historian of that time says : "General Taylor took the.sash and examined it carefully. It was of un? usual size, being quite as large, when extended, as a common hammock. In the nieshos of the splendid red silk, that composed it, was the date of its manufacture, '1707': and, although it was 140 years old, save where the dark spots that were stained with the blood of the hero who wore it, it glistened as brightly as if it had just come from ?the loom. Upon the unusual size of the sash being noticed, General Worth, who had joined the party in the tent, mentioned such was the old-fashioned style, and that the soldier's sash was intended to carry, if necessary, the bearer from the field of battle. "It was mentioned in the conversa? tion that after General Ripley was wounded at Lundy's Lane his sash, similar in form, was used as a ham? mock to bear him from the field, and that in it he was carried several miles, his body swaying between the horses, to which the ends of the sash were securely fastened." Mrs. Dandridge found the valuable relic carefully wrapped up in linen and labeled, '"Braddock's sash." It was found with her father's two military sashes. Mrs. Dandrid.cre was formerly Mrs. Bliss, and presided over the white house in the short year her father was President. On the death of General Taylor, what remained of his personal effects were placed in his army chest, and remained there until, at the death of his widow, they were sent to Winchester, Va., the home of Mrs. Dandridge. The sash is of very dark red silk, some twelve feet long by four in with, and near the center there are three dark, black stains, each as large as a woman's hand, the marks of General Braddock's life blood. ? A woman in Georgia was recent? ly tried before a court on the charge of obtaining money under false preten? ces. A clear case appears to have been made out against her, but her lawyer secured her a discharge with? out denying a single allegation, and without calling a single witness in her behalf. He simply asked the prose? cutor whether he could swenr that the defendant was not of sound mind, and, on the answer being in the nega? tive, the judge ordered the woman's discharge and lectured the prosecutor for bringing a case into court in which the prosecutor could not take oath as to the mental capacity of the de? How Animals Connt. A Russian physician has been mak? ing some curious experiments to find out how far animals can count. He declares that the crow can count up to ten, and is thereby superior in arithmetic to certain Polynesian tribes of men who cannot get beyond five or six. The doctor had a dog which was accustomed to bury the bones it found, each one in a separate place in the garden. One day, wishing to test the animal's power of counting, the master gave it no less than twenty-six bones, which were all buried one after another in special hiding-places. The next day the dog was given no more bones, and so was forced to dig up the old ones. Without any hesitation he uncovered ten, and then came to a stop. After whining and running about as if in a state of great perplexi? ty, a new idea seemed to enter the canine brain, and again the dog began to dig up the hidden bones, and this time he added nine to the total before his memory again failed him. Then there was a second period of whining and perplexity, after which the seven remaining bones were found with some difficulty. The doctor concluded from this that twenty-six was too large a number for the dog to take in all at once, and that he had been obliged to remember the bones, as it were, in three shorter scries. The cat, it would seem, is even less of an arithmetician than the dog, not being able to count as far as ten. Be? fore giving his cat its regular piece of meat, the doctor would put it under the animal's nose, and then withdraw it five times in succession, and it was only the sixth time that he would give the cat the morsel. This number was repeated every day until the cat grew accustomed to waiting five times, but would spring forward of its own accord at the sixth presentation. Having thus demonstrated that pussy was able to remember up to six, the doctor tried to seven, but without' success. As soon as he attempted to perform the experiment with higher numbers the cat became confused and would jump forward for the meat at the wrong time. The number six, therefore, seems to be the limit of the cat's power of counting.?Boston Journal. Never. Never neglect daily private prayers ; and when you pray, remember that God is present, and that He hears your prayers. Never neglect daily private Bible reading; and when you read, remem? ber that God is speaking to you, and that you arc to believe and act upon what He says. All blacksliding be? gins with the neglect of these two rules. Never ask God for anything you do not want. Tell Him the truth about yourself, however bad it makes you ; and then ask Him for Christ's sake to forgive you what you are and make you what you ought to be. Never let a day pass without trying to do something for Jesus. Every night reflect on what Jesus has done for you, and then askyoursolf: "What have I done to-day for Him ?" If ever you are in doubt as to a thing's being right or wrong, go to your room, and kneel down and ask God's blessing upon it (Col., iii, 17.) If you cannot do this, it is wrong. Never take your Christianity from Christians; nor argue that, because such' and such people do so and so, therefore you may. You are to ask yourself: "How would Christ act in mv place ?" and strive to follow Him. Never believe what you feel if it contradicts God's Word.?Phillips burg Dispatch. Judge Waxem's Troverbs.

Baltimore, Md., June7.?Gustave Liebman, of St. Louis, member of the firm of Liebman & Dcllevic, tobacco importers, committed suicide at the Howard House to-day. He cut the bed sheets into strips and twisted them into a rope, with which he hang? ed himself to the bed post. The sui? cide stretched himself along the floor lengthwise, and having made the strips of the sheet of a sufficient length to permit of his head being elevated a few inches from the floor, deliberately strangled himself to death by pressing downward on the rope. The dead man had been a member of the baltimorc firm of Liebman & Del? levic for ten years. He was 37 years old and unmarried. ?

Then very speedily that man was at peace with God again.? Selected. ? If you would keep your horse in good health see to it that the stable is clean and well ventilated. ? "I don't understand it at all," said the fly-paper meditatively. "Here I am doing all I can to kill these pesky flics, and yet they are continu? ally getting stuck on me." ? The Russian crown and other state jewels arc valued at the enor? mous sum of $11,000,000, taking Uni? ted States money as a basis of calcu? lation ; the crown itself is reckoned as being worth at least $6,000,000. It is adorned with hundreds of diamonds, individual specimens of which are valued at all the way from a few dol? lars up to enormous sparklers worth thousL ids upon thousands of dollars. Besides the diamonds, which make this costly head dress look as if it had. been buried in a shower of falling stars, there arc 54 pearls, each with? out a flaw, set around the rim, a ruby of extraordinary size and brilliancy being used as \a centerpiece. The crown was made by Panzie, the old time Genoese court jeweler, and was first used by Catherine the Great. ? Miss Carrie Blood, a Vassar gradu? ate, who lives at Charleston, W. Va., carried original investigation a bit too far tbe other day. She examined a mud turtle so close that tbe creature, seizing its opportunity to rebuke the young wo? man's curiosity, bit her nose off. ? Systematic efforts have been made in different parts of tbe world to intro? duce a growth of trees where they had never been known, from which impor? tant results have followed in many in? stances. Egypt, which had formerly about six rainy days during the year, has, since having planted trees on an ex? tensive scale, already attained about five times that number. Sixteen square miles of tbe swampy, unhealthy country along the Bay of Biscay was planted with thousands of trees, especially tbe cork, oak and swamp pine. The trees havo drained tbe land so as to destroy the swamp fevers, and to change it into a healthy country with fino forests. Bis? cay law requires that for every tree cut down two shall be planted. ? The Cincinnati Times-Star announ? ces that a chemist of that city succeeded in making a fluid which has all tbe prop? erties of ordinary cow's milk, and is equal to tbe best for all purposes. It is a combination of water, solids and fats, and is absolutely the same as, and indistin? guishable, from pure milk, and has tbe advantage of being absolutely free from tbe diseases and impurities that are often found in milk. This chemical milk will raise a cream, will sour, turn to curd and water, and butter and cheese can be made from it tbe same time as from cow milk. At present tbe cost of production is more than $1 a gallon, but tbe chemist believes with a few more experiments he can reduce the price to 10 or 15 cents a gal ton and by making it in wholesale quanti? ties can retail It at the usual G cents a quart. Tnis story was probably invented for the purpose of entertaining tbe marines. Have used and recommended it to my friends. All derived great benefit from its use. Mrs. Matilda Labson, Tcoria, 111.

Horso runaways are unknown in Russia. No one drives in that country without having a thiu cord with a running nooso around the necks of the teams. When the animal bolts this cord is pulled, and the horso stops as soon as it feels the pressure on its wind? pipe. ? Information reached the city yeste day of a torriblo catastrophe three or four miles from Gadsden, whereby two colored children wero burned to death. It is tho same old story of negroes going olfto work and locking their children in the house, and returning to fiud the house and children both burned. In this case Joel Adams locked two of his children up and went to work. When he returned ho found that the bouse bud been des? troyed and his two children had met a horrible death. The trial justico held an inquest and a verdict in accord? ance with the facts was rendered.? Slate, June 8. ? It is said that recent experiments made with the new rilies in Germany make it reasonably apparent that the next war will be simply one of extermi? nation. A prominent French writer in a recent article says thai the battlefield would at the termination of tho engage? ment bo covered with two or three hun? dred thousand corpses, all crushed and broken, and would bo nothing but a vast charnel bouse. No cue would be left to bury the dead, and pestilence would in its turn sweep away tbo country people. Pointing tho moral, be adds that*the man ?emperor, king or president of a repub? lic?who, undor tboso conditions, would expose the human race to such a fate would be tho greatest criminal that the world had ever seen. It is tolerably plain that the horrors and butchery which a war would entail are becoming more and more recognized, and that the terri? ble vista thus opened out is exercising a sobering effect on those who were for? merly wont to discuss eventualities with a light heart. ?????????????*????*?????? t PRICE 50 CENTS PER BOTTLE. ? <3> BOOK OF VALUABLE INFORMATION FREE. ? ?
