THE CHEAPEST LIGHT. It In Thnt Used by the Fireflies, nnd They Alone Have the Secret. Boston Journal. One of the prettiest sights of a summer evening in the country Is a meadow covered with a swarm of flitting Pretties. Many Intensely practical people have laughed at any suggestion that this lireily U?ht could be utilized in any way by man. Yet scientists have long been at w-k on the ptoblem. and one of the number, Secretary Langley, of the Smithsonian Institution, hii arrived at some startling conclusions. The light shed by these little insets Is the most economical llluminant in tne world. It has no waste and no overrunning meter. Moreover, It Is one hundred times as cheap as gas, which nwans that one pays a dollar for a cent's worth of light, and even with electricity the Waste is enormous. With the firefly there is no waste by t'e production of heat. This may seem rather strange to those who inseparably connect a ll'at With some degree of heat manifestation, ami this "cold light," If such it may be called, would be peculiarly adapted to a hot summer evening. It is probably simply fhe result of a chemical action which produces a phosphorescence. It Is produced at one-four-. hundredth of the cost of energy represented In a candle flame, and is supposed to Dome from the slow combustion of a material secreted by the nervous organism of the insect. The temperature of the Hghtivlng organs is the same as that of other parts of the body. In Prof. Langley's experiments he took the Insects, kept; them In the dark all the time, preserved ' their eggs a long time, and ground the dried substance to powder. In all these cases the application of moisture produced a light, proving the chemical origin of the phenomenon. To produce a light of equal brilliancy artificially would require a temperature of at least 2.000 desrees. The most brilliant of the 150 varieties of animal life capable of producing a light of this character in the "cucujo," the famous lireily of the tropics. Thirty-eight of these yield one candle power. The natives of Cuba confine them In paper lan terns, nnd they have been used to take jhoto:vrraphs by a two-minute exposure or bromide plates. , These Insects, or beetles, to speak ex actly were used by Prof. Dangley in exinrimentlng. They negin lire as a grub. end are variously called"?klp jacks'.' and "spring tails. Damp evenings seem to te tihe most favorable . time to observe their habits, as then they shine most brilliantly. v Nature having produced this most economical light, which In the most exaggerated Instance cannot be made to affect the most delicate thermometer, seems to laugh at the feeble efforts of man to follow her plan. It Is true that tne -Gelssler tube, a plaything of the laloratory, will produce lignt without heat, but It is incapable of practical production. Scientists believe that ere long the secret of the wonderful light, which has been proved to be not unlike the luminous calcium sulphide paint of commerce, will be discovered, with a result as revolutionary In, the world of Illumination as that caused by electricity.

Carroll, of this city, one of the executives of the Irish Nationalists in America, has issued this statement: "In August. 1SS4, nt Roston. the leading Irish Nationalists, in secret meeting, voted to suspend active work for ten years so as not to Interfere with the parliamentary movements.

To Prevent Pauperism. Philadelphia Record. That indefatigable but sometimes oversanguine humanitarian. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, has expressed his belief that "pauperism will be abolished In the United States before we die." That this permanent dependence of a hereditary class upon the tate may tie overcome. Dr. Hale urges Americans to devote themselves to a study of pauerism as well as to the work of r.lief of poverty. He suggests as an Immediate practical p.an that in every American town of a larger population than lOo.oCu persons a separate oflicor or a separate b.icrd should be appointed, whose time should be devoted exclusively to the prevention of pau:eris:n. Boston ias al ready s:ich a specially organized society. The State of Ohio maintains In -the princltal cities, as a j;irt of its public function, free intelligence bureaus. anJ these are lu correspondence with different towns.

Governor O'Farrell received last night the following telegram from the New York World: "An English committee has been sent here to Investigate and denounce Southern lynchings. Will you please telegraph us what you think of English meddling with our affairs?" The Governor replied as follows: "Things have come to a pretty pass in this country when we are to have a lot of English moralists sticking their noses into our internal affairs. It Is the quintessence of 'brass' and Impudence. They had better sweep in front of their own doors before seeking to reprulate us. We might as well Imtstigate English affairs In India, her Whltechapel murders, her 'Jack-the-Ripper slashings, her Maybrick trial, together with her alleged injustice and cruelty to this woman, her rapacious colonial policy in Africa and the degrading effects on the Chinese resulting from her opium war. "What do thev propose to do In case they find that the law 1? not administered here according to their ideas? Declare war against us, or o:xn the vials of their wrath on our heads? What information do they seek? Do they want to know that the white people in the South have lynched negroes whose miserable lusts led them to the commission of the black crime of rape on white women? If so, they need not investigate, for such Is the fact. Do they desire to know that this has been done by Infuriated communities for the protection of. their white women and to save the victims of these fiends from humiliation from testifying in courts? If so. this Is the fact. Do they want to know whether there was any loubt as to the guilt or tne men lynched? If so, for the satisfaction of their yearning souls, they could have ascertained, without encountering the perils of a sea trip, that their guilt was clear in every Instance. If they had desired to learn whether these lynchings were permitted or countenanced by the civil authorities, they could have learned through the regular channels of correspondence that in every case the civil authorities were either without knowledge or were overpowered. In Virginia the authorities in every cafe have asserted all their power ' to suppress the !vn"h'ng spirit. and within the last few months, I have protected from violence with military at heavy expense to u.e State, three negroes who were charged with outraging white women. They had lair trials, were convicted and executed. While lynch law Is to be condemned and every effort has been and will be made to suppress it in the South, without the advice of those would-be philanthropists who have taken so much on themselves, lynchings will surely cease when crime of rape ceases. These sympathetic Englishmen might find missionary work among the negroes of the South in warning them against the consequences of the forcible gratification of their devilish lust. "CHARLES T. O'FARRELL. "Governor of Virginia." Governor Xorthen Tart Reply. SAVANNAH. Ga., Sept. 10. Governor Northen made, in part, the following: reply: "Say to the 'English committee that I am in a position to know that they have received their information from Irresponsible sources, and that the English people have declined and refused to be properly Informed about our law and the conduct of our government. The English papers, to my knowledge, have declined, time and again, o publish statements made to them In defense of the South by Englishmen who are now residents of the South. Under these conditions, we do not want any further outside hypocritical cant upon false ideas upon our government. The people of this State are quite able to administer their own affairs, atid they are doing It in full justice to the negro, as our laws and our conduct attest. .We have already endured more outside interference in our local matters than we will submissively tolerate in the future. Let those kindly disposed Englishmen return to their own country and prevent by law the inhuman sale of virtuous girls to lustful men in high places, hang all such demons as 'Jack the Ripper, punish, as it deserves, the barbarous wholesale slaughter of negroes in Africa by Englishmen, who go there to steal their gold; supply the necessities to prevent bread and labor riots and strikes, which are wholly unknown to the people -of the South: feed and give employment to the poor, as do the people of my section; give to the oppressed Irishmen the rights humanity demands, and when they shall have pulled the beam out of their own eyes, they may, with better grace, appoint themselves a committee to hunt for the mote that may be in our eyes. While we have irregularities at the South and negroes are sometime3 lynched, they are never slaughtered by wholesale, as Englishmen sometimes destroy them." Opinion from Arkansas. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 10. Governor Fishback to-day, in reply to a telegram from a New York newspaper, sent the following: "That England, a foreign country, and one which pays less than one-third as much money per capita for the education of its people as the States pay, should assume the role of a missionary to teach us our duty can but excite ridicule as well as resentment. If Its committee is really sincere in its efforts to suppress lynching, it must be sadly wanting in common sense not to have learned this much of human nature. My advice to the committee, if it is indeed earnest and honest, is to go heme. WILLIAM FISHBACK." (iro Impertinence. COLUMBIA, S. C, Sept- 10. Governor Tillman sent the following: "In reply to your telegram of this date would say the Englishmen are welcome to scour and learn the truth. They cannot Investigate us from New York. I will afford them every facility to get at facts. I send you by mail the ity to get at facts." VES.sKLS IX COLLISION. The Schooner French Sunk ly the Steamer Portln. VINYARD HAVEN, Mass., Sept. 10. Incoming east-bound vessels this evening report the steamer Portia, Captain Ash, St. Johns, Newfoundland, for New York, and the three-mast schooner Dora M. French, of Bangor, from Hoboken for Boston, with a cargo of coal. In collision a mile and a hilf east, half south, from Vinyard sound lightship, and the sinking of the French during a thick fog and heavy southwest winds. Captains of several vessels say that, although tney could not see the collision, the crashing of timber and the cries of the crews were heirtrendlng. In the opinion of the sailors, the French must have sunk instantly, as they could see men struggling in the water and the endeavors being made by the steamer's crew to rescue them. The schooner Ann M. Dickinson passed soon r.fter and siw the crew of the French bfing landed on board the Portia, which soon proceeded for her destination. It was imlossihle to ascertain if all were saved or to learn the d .image to the Portia. The French Iji about twenty years old and row a d.inger'ous obstruction to navigation, her mastheads being out of water. "loveiaents of Steamer. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.

Of late we have heard querulous tufrestlons and complaining hints that the work has lasted, nnd there have ten evn contemptible insinuations that it has been moreto the liking of the trusters that trtj money should remain In theyo investment than that it should be expended for the monument. General Porter has at last answered with dignity those who have mad these complaints, and he makes the gratifying unnouncement that the contracti which the trustees have made call for th completion of the monument in December of mi The trustees have not been idle. Thfy have spent many months In a search which for ome time seemed to te a hopeless on for a peculiar quality of granite, both necessary to produce the artistic eftect desired as well as to secure the permanence which many kinds of stone are unable to maintain in this climate. . The quarries of New Yoik. Pennsylvania, even far-away Michigan and Virginia, ana especially those in Rhode Island. wer most carefully examined and the granite found to be unsatisfactory. The dark granite of the Dix Island quarry, off tha coast of Maine, would have leen satisfactory had the stone been of the tint desired. At last the committee found far up in the interior of the State of Maine a granite for which they had long made careful search. It is very light in color, almost of the tint of marble, utterly without burnish, and was of such formation as successfully to resist for ages the most trying variations of climate. But when they had found the quarry they there still remained much expensive and slow dragging ork to be done. Some ot the tdocks were to be of unusual sire, greater than any ever set into an American structure, and to cut those out an 1 prepare them for transportation made necessary the building of unusual machines, as well as the quarrying at great depth. The dressing -of such granite as this requires as laborious and patient work almost as does the most artistic rtructure. The granite eagle which stands with wings ext nded over the main entrance to the New Ycrk postofflce was cut from Dix island granite, and by a single workman. The finished likeness of the eagle was cut from the rouph block In a few days' tlm. but It would require the Aork of skillful cutters for many days to produce even so Inartistic a bird as this from this chosen granite for the Grant monument. ' The solitary workman on that lonely sea island, chipping away at the granite that he might carve an eagle, had little thought that a few years later he would stand before the Speaker of the House of Representatives In Washington to tke the oath as the successor of that brilliant Kn of Maine, Eugene Hale. Yet it was so that the fates had determined that this hutnM stone-cutter Murch should bring to an unexpected ending the conspicuous carr of Mr. Eugene Hale as 3. Representative In, Congress. Other most painstaking preliminary work has been necessary in order to prepare the foundation for this colossal structure, and then, too. the discontent of granite cutters has brought about delays for the lahor unions have not hesitated to command the workmen who were engaged upon these quarries to throw down their tools, although they were doing their part toward the building of the Grant monument. , The monument, when completed, is to b of no conspicuous height when set in comparison with the Washington monument, or even with some of the tall bulld!nr of New York city. Its height will be only 103 feet, but It will impress the eye not us the Washington monument does. Lecausq of its sublime simpllcltj. but because ot the exquisite architectural effect, tha masslveness and appropriateness of tha work. If 'It Is finished at the time the contract calls for It will be ready for dedication only a few months more than thj first decade after General Grant's death. When it Is rememlered that nearly forty years passed away from the day that President Taylor laid the cornerstone of the Washington monument to the time' that it was pronounced finished, and that for nearly half a century the tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon was neglected and only preserved by the contributions of the citizens and the efforts of Everett. It must be said that the comp'etion of the Grant monument, at a cost of nearly 7t.0K). has been one of the swiftest undertakings of like nature that we have record of. politics. Of the four candidates fo? The Interview In Franee. Paris Letter in New York Evening Pest. In the present newspaper war that Is waging about the "Interview" (the French have adopted the word and more than the practice "from the English or, should it nat be. from the American? Zoli has come out flatly In its favor. He says that he has never refused .an interview to any reporter, and never denied an interview, however bad, when published. Alexandre Dumas, who began the war by two columns of biting sarcasm, repudiates the interview altogether. He declares that, for each time he has touched his lips to make a reporter understand that he would not be interviewed, he has been published as having given an opinion. Jules Claretie figures Mollere before a question actually asked of himself by an onterprilng reporter: "Mr. Administrator (of the ComedieFrancalse), I come to know from yourself if the news we published this morning is exact?" He adds that the wittiest inter views are often those which never took place; that the Interview cannot be srppressed becauses it pleases the public: and that those who complain cf being Interviewed too often would, perhaps, complain a little more if they were interviewed less. Papa Jules Simon, as usual, compromises the matter and relates a story of which he can scarcely appreciate the bearing. He had refused to answer an Indiscreet question, when the reporter said firmly: "1 am going to write that you refuse to exj.a?n for fear of compromising yourself." Auguste Vacquerie. the veteran newspaper man of the Rappel. as well as a mm of letters, sums up the mutter by saying that the interview .pleapes the public, which likes to Imagine Itself talking with the distinguished personages, and the personages who like to be thought distinguished enough for Interviews.
