r Tli* Bribery Inveatlcatlon. The Ohio Legislature has begua the bribery inreatigation again at Marcus A. Hanna made By Represents tire Otis during the recent senatorial contest The proprietora of the Neill House will be asked as to who paid the hotel bills of certain legislators, and the managers of the telegraph companies will be summoned. The investigation will drag along for some time. As the Senate stands IB to 17 against Hanna, with Senator Burke Toting with the Demo crats, it is quite probable that there will be some report adopted in the body to transmit to the United States Senate. In the House the vote is 56 to 56 the other way, and the House investigation committee may do little more than look on at the Senate investigation. It is stated that James G. Blaine.

This substance, when crushed, has been found available for fertilizing, or as the body of a paiut, if tho usual mix ing fluids be added. It is said that a young man, n-hose name is not given, after a march of nine hours from Bordj-Bou-Arroridj, has discovered the ruins of the old Arabic capital, Kaloa, once the chief seat of the Ulmmadites. Among them Were the remains of an old mosque, which had evidently been rebuilt from the ruins of an ancient Christian church, on the plan of the Basilica. Near it was a wash basin, fed by a fonntain, constructed of beautiful variegated marble. It betrays its Christian origin by a double Latin cross, with an almost effaced inscrip tion, evidently an ancient Christian monogram. The walking of a fly on tho ceiling is a familiar phenomenon not yet fully understood. A recent paper by Mrs. D. H. Dierhold mentions that the mi croscope quickly disproves the old theory that flies hold to smooth sur faces by means of suckers, and that Hooke’s idea that flies stick to glass by a viscus secretion was shown a dozen years ago to be only partly sound. Dr. Rombout has established the fact that the flies hang on by the help of capi'lary adhesion-—the mole cular attraction between solid and liquid bodies. It is true the foot hairs are very minnte, but as each fly is said to have 10,000 or 20,000, we need not be surprised at what they can do.

A Russian journal mentions that tile in habitants of a malarial locality in the government of Kharkov have in re cent years used powdered crabs with great success in fevers, and that this powder has been adopted in preference toquinine.

The powder is prepared by pouring ordinary whis ky on live crabs until they are put to sleep, when they are pnt on a bread pan in a hot oven, thoroughly dried, P ulverized and passed through a sieve. f . , Tho First Scientific Kite Flj-lng. The famous kite experimeut is de scribed by Franklin in a letter dated October 19, 1752: “Make* a small cross of light sticks of cedar, the arms so long as to reach to the four corners of a large, thin silk handkerchief when extended. Tie the corners of tho handkerchief to the extremities of the cross, so yon have the body of a kite, which, being properly accommodated with a tail, loop acd string, will rise in the air like those made of paper,bnt being made of silk is better fitted to bear the wet and wind of a thunder gust without tearing. To the top of the upright stick of the cross is t9.be fixed a very sharp-pointed wire rifling afoot or more above the wood. To the end of the twine next the hand is to be tied a silk ribbon, and where the silk and twine join a key may be fastened. This kite is to be raised when a thunder gnst appears to be com ing on, apu the person who holds the string must stand within a door or window or nnder some cover, so that the silk ribbon may not be wet, and care must be taken that the twine does not touch the frame of the door or window. As soon as the thunder elonds come over the kite, with all the twine, will be electrified and stand out every way and be attracted by an approaching finger. And when the rain has wet the kite and twine yon will find the electric fire stream ont plentifully from the key ou the ap proach of your knuckle. A Mortgaged Cat. T There are very few articles that can not be mortgaged, but when the clerks in tho County Clerk's office took a chattle mortgage to file, and, looking over the list of articles, they found a cat, they were perfectly dumbfounded.

Commltle* Report of the Interctftte Cotton Grower*’ Association on tho Jock (on African Umhloee Cotton, That Mat In Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. 14, IS*7. •• ■ 1 We, the undersigned Committee, appointed by Iks Interstate Cotton Growers' Association, held In Atlanta, Ga., December 14th, 1897, to investigate and report on the Jackson Limb Isas Cotton, beg leave to submit the following report: After a thorough and careful examination and fnvestlgatloa made of the cotton lo the field, which we vtetted In person, and carefully looking Into the matter, we unhesitatingly pronounce It the beet variety of cotton ever grown In the South. From what the Committee learned from a conversation with Mr. Jackacn, It seems that the cotton, with careful cultivation, will yield three boles par acre easily, and the evidence of such fact has presented Itself to u* after said investigation. The cotton Itself Is absolutely without limbs, the bolls maturing on little prongs two or three Inches long, known a* “fruit spur,” with no other I Imbs; there being from two tofive bollson each spur. The stalks In the field, examined by us, are from four to ten feet tall, according to the fertility of the soil, ae fruited from the ground up. We found on a great many stalks, bolls which contain five and six pods, which we consider very unusual, the else of the boll* being very fine average; the Hut and staple being fine and silky, an average of on# to one and a half Inches. It is the opinion of your Com mittee that no cotton of this variety has ever been grown In the South before, and Is of sup*, rlor quality to anything we have ever seen grown. The land upon which the cotton exaraln. ed was grown, Is ordinary red gravelly upland, well manured. Wu.I*.ClLHOrv.Chairman,Ga. Richard Chratham, Committee, Mlsa.
