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. Jr., is

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.
It appears that the carious remedies

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. A teaspoonful is generally
sufficient to care the intermittent
fever, a second doso being required
only in obstinate cases. 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.

, 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.
They say that they have eeen many a
strange thing mortgaged, but never
before saw a cat. The mortgage was
given by Charles Arnold $0 J. Claus,
and it is hard to say what would
be done if the cat ran away.—Cincin-

JACKSON LIMBI.KSS COTTON.
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.
