THE FIERY LAMP.

Professor Thurston has called attention to tho fact that the light of tho glowworni is a transformation of vital or heat energy into light without waste and at a low temperature. The firefly, beautiful illuminator of the summer landscape, emits lislit in tho same way. How do they accomplish it? When man can answer that question, can produce artificially a light like that of the glowworn and firellv, tho question of pcrfect illumination will be solved.

All our light now is obtained at most destructive cost, not more than 5 per of the power consumed going to

ce^ ili-jRi

Kilaation, the rest being lost as heat, vapor, etc. Where is the man who can analyze the glowworm's light, track it to its final lair, wrest its seciet from it, transform it into a commercial product, and give tho world a perfect illumination?

Professor Thurston thinks this will be accomplished in time. Science has performed greater wonders. Certain animals have a power of self illumination, like that which makes the eyes of dogs and cats shine in the dark. At times this same light has been noticed in the eyes of human beings. May there not fco latent in us all this power of giving oat light from our bodies, only we do not vet knowjiow^to^yyt?^

THE San Francisoo Bulletin Bays that tho California beet-sugar experiment is a success. "Last year 2,000 acres were p\f.n'ei5-amd yiol'deu 13,500 tons of sugar boots, from whioh were extracted 1,650 tons of sugar. This was done at the Watson villa factory, whioh ran fortyseven days. Tho beets brought an average of §5 a ton, and tho farmers feel satisfied that they can raise them at a profit. They have guaranteed to greatly in orease the acreage this year, and the output will probably be more than doubled."

ACTES POST, at South Bend, will present the namo of Jasper E. Lewis to the coming Euoumpmont at Indianapolis for Department Commander. Commander Lewis is well known to tho Grand Army boys in this oity and will probably receive their support. Ho has over been an active Grand Army man and has filled several important positions with credit to himself and honor to the order. Ho will make an excellent Department Commander.

THE municipal election in Salt Lake City Monday resulted in the defeat of the Mormon ticket by a handsome ma jority. TheGentile population indulged in the wildest demonstration of joy over the victory. This is probably tho beginning of tho downfall of the "twin relic."

THE appointment ol Col. Samuel Morrill to be Consul General at Calcutta will give universal satisfaction to all who has tho honor of his acquaintance. Tho salary is §5,000 and tho fees will amount to about Sti.OOO additional.

BARNUM'S BILL STICKERS.

Ihey Surprise Tim KiiglUhuirn by tho Rapidity of Their Work, Opposite to this houso is a boarding thirteen feet high by over one hundred feet long, and in a few minutes I was to see a feat in bill posting such as seems hardly credible, now that I »ii calmly down to write of it. A wagon having driven up, live men got out of it one I recognized as Mart Ready, Barnnm's boss ixster, two wero Americans in their neat duck overalls, and two wero English bill stickers whose uppearanco 1 would rather not describe. In two minutes after their arrival the duck overailed men had out their tin cans full of paste and their eight foot long poles with brushes at the end, and were hard at it overing the lxiarding with paste from top to bottom, from end to end. The Englishmen stood by with something like sneers on their faces, as who should say: "Well, thero ain't much in that wo can cover a boarding with paste, too." Another minute passed and Ready began handing out some carefully folded posters. The Englishmen's fares relaxed a little, as who should say: "What are they goin' to do now?"' and they began to whisper together.

The two Americans seized one of the folded posters, gavo it a shake, ran the brush end of the long poles under it, raised it, gave a sweep and another sweep, and I hero on the boarding was a sixteen sheet poster, containing a facsimile of an open letter from P. T. Barnum, headed "My Greatest Venture." Then followed a twelve sheet poster portrait of Barn urn, a forty-eight sheet depicting the show tents as they travel in America, a twenty-four sheet picture of Jumbo, a forty-eight sheet representation of the gallery of human freaks of nature, a thirty-six sheet portrait of the fair Indian snake charmer from the Bowery, New York, a forty-eight sheet picture of the menagerie, a thirty-six sheet portrait of the Mexican rider, a forty-eight sheet representation of the elephants performing, a twenty-four sheet picture of the clowns and a twentyfour sheet portrait of Miss Clara O'Brien, the Roman knife thrower.

All along the tops and the bottoms of tho pictures "streamers" were pasted. Tho most remarkable fact, however, was that every one of these huge posters was slung up into position whole—they had been pasted together before starting. The 100 by 13 feet was covered in exactly fourteen minutes and thirty seconds! Therol That is something like bill sticking. You ought to have seen the faces of those Englishmen. They were a study for Dickens. Of course a crowd gathered, and, as the omnibuses stop at the Cedars, you may guess there were somo quaint remarks from the drivers and conductors.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Almost as Good Man II«»r Brother*. There is living at a point on East bay, near Pensacola, a remarkable family of four boys and one young woman. The boys consider their sister to be one of themselves, she being in nearly every respect as handy as a boy should be, and Bharing the labors of her brothers. They can draw the lines of a ship, hew the timbers, build and launch her, and then sail her around the world. Tho schooner Axel, a fine littlo vessel which they have built, is at present somewhere on the gulf under command of Capt. G., one of the brothers, who is a most expert navigator.

Tho other brothers and sister are now engaged in building another and a larger vessel, which is well under way, jind which, when completed and launched, will be one of the stanchest crafts sailing the Mexic sea. Tho draughtsman who furnished tho lines upon which sho is being constructed is one of the brothers, the carpenters who are building her are the draughtsman and his brothers and sister, and the master who will sail her will be one of the boys, who will take the remainder of the family for the crew. For miles and miles in all directions from the homo the boys have scoured tho forests looking for natural crooks to be used as timbers, a great many of which they have found and used as such. The work has so far progressed that the stem will be put in in a few days, when planking will be in order. The vessel will be fashioned after tho most approved pattern, and sho will measure, when finished, 80 feet over all, have a beam of 21 feet, and has now a keel of 71 feet in length. She will be rigged as a schooner.—Savannah News.

Emperor Ego is the nickname William II has won for himself hero, writes a Paris correspondent, "I, me, my, mine," being pronouns that crop up constantly in his speech and letters. His telegrams toPrincc Bismarck, published as soon as they arrive, are models of tho egotistical style. There's nothing pleases him moro than to find himself repeated in print. Tho first Emperor William had served up to him in his old age, along with his breakfast every morning, two papers, of which special editions wero cooked up exclusively for him. IIo was not aware of this. No journal was ever a cause of sharper cabinent bickering ilian this one. Each minister wanted the lion's share of space, thus to influence the august reader. Bismarck eventually managed this spccial issue himself. The copy which met with his approval was known as "pap for tho emperor," who, long before his death, had fallen farther into second childhood than any one suspected.

Move to Savo tlic lluflitloi'*.

The next legislature of Wyoming will pass a law making the killing of a buffalo a misdemeanor. An act to this effect is not required to protect tho buffaloes as game, for tho hunter would hunt the mountains and plains for wilj buffaloes in vain. It is intended to imply to the men who lie in wait and shoot down the buffaloes that happen to stray off the reservation in the Yellowstone park, where a few relics of the bygono race are preserved. Tho dead buffalo brings its slayer $200 and the temptation to kill them is a strong ono for the bunter,—Exchange.

The Ijitc Lord Napior'n Nervo* The death of Lord Napier, of Magdala, recalls a story of. the old soldier's nerve as exhibited onco, in a time of profound peace, in India. The Sikh warriors were famous swordsmen, and, if any one was hardy enough to test their skill, they could cut an apple, resting on the palm of a man's) hand, cleanly in two equal pieces, so that each piece dropped separately to tho ground, without fraying tho skin of tho outstretched hand. Perfect steadiness was required in the person holding the apple, for if tho hand shrank the consequences wero likely to be serious. It is, perhaps, needless to say that the offer to perform this feat was more often made than accepted.

For a long time Lord Napier refused to believe that the wild soldiers could do this thing, and when one of them Invited him to hold the apple and witness the exploit he promptly consented, supposing that the swordsman would flinch from the undertaking but the Sikh had entiro confidence in his own skill. His eye, however, detected a little irregularity on tho general's right palm as it held out, and he asked him to present the apple in his left hand. Lord Napier afterward said that, for the first lime in his life, he was cotvicious of the sensation of fear, as the conviction (lashed upon him that the man was not going to "back out." However, firm as a rock, the hand, with the apple upon it, was extended, tho sword flashed down, and the fruit fell in two segments to the earth. The skin was not scratched, but its owner said ho felt the keen blade touch it, as though a hair had been broken across it Ho added that, though he was at last convinced of the Sikh swordsman's skill, he would never again allow one of them to test it in that way and he advised his officers to make the .•nine resolution.—New York Sun.

Pictures In Watcbes.

"I want you to make as pretty a picture as you can. Bring out the soft expression of tho oyes and be very careful about the mouth."

A young Wall street broker was giving these directions to a jeweler down town recently, and as he did so he laid his gold watch on the glass showcase.

Tho jeweler assured the young man that he would have a perfect likeness of the young lady tnado and laid the watch away in a drawer.

Turning to reporter who was standing by ho said: "Photographs in watches are becoming very popular. Tho gentleman who just left his order hero wants tho portrait of his intended wife placed in his timekeeper. Tho faco of the young lady will be photographed directly on tho inner case of the watch. During the past month wo have taken more than live hundred photographs, and somo very prominent persons are among them." "What does it cost to put a picture in a watch?" asked tho scribe. "About ?15. All the work is done by a French photographer, who makes a specialty of the work and once a pretty faco is placed in a watch by this method it will remain as long as the watch lasts, And another thing, the chances are that no matter how hard up the owner of the watch gets, he will not part with that watch."—New York Mail and Express.
