THE latest and certainly the most orig
inal reportorial dodge to gain informa-
ton where the facts sought for had been
inaccessible, is that adopted by a New
York Tribune reporter who desired to
learn something about the internal work
ings of the Bloomington Insane Asylum,
the management whereof has been the
subject of severe criticism of late. The
persevering -gatherer, Chambers by
name, obtained the certificate of three re
spectacle physicians of New York City
to the effect that he had become insane,
and, armed with this document, our hero,
IN charge of an utter stranger named
Townsend, applies and is admitted to the
Asylum as non c0z1pOs n1671t s. NOtwith-
standing the fact that the officers of that
Asylum have declared repeatedly that it
would be impossible for person of sane
mind to gain admission TO that institu-
ton as patient, he remains, and is treat
ed Tor lunacy for two weeks, during which
time he is slyly ''takin" notes "and faith
he'll prent 'em" At the end of the period
above mentioned, the Tribune authorities,
thinking information enough had been
gained. applied for writ of AG6e0s corpus
in order to secure his release Thereupon
the managers of the Asylum, fearing a
thorough investigation would result If
this proceeding were allowed to take its
own course, posted off to the tribune
office, and induced them to sign papers
for the discharge of Chambers, when our
sham Iunatic was set at liberty.

Sometimes he loses his hold of the strap

in, he secures his food as before
Here is an act of intelligence which
must have been originated by some mon
key, since no lower or ancestral type of
mammals possess the hands necessary for
its accomplishment. Whether originated
by Jack, or by some ancestor of the forest
who used vines for the same purpose,
cannot be readily ascertained
After punishment, the animal would
only exert himself in this way when not
watched; as soon as an eye was directed
to him he would cease. In this he dis
played distrust. He also usually exhib-
tied the disposition to accumulate to be
quite superior to hunger. Thus he always
appropriated ali the food within reach
before beginning to eat. When different
pieces were offered to him, he transferred
the first to his hind feet to make room for
more; then filled his mouth and hands,
and concealed portions behind him. With
a large piece in his hands, he would pick
the hand of his master clean before using
his own, which he was sure of.-scaentlGc

The Color of the Sea.

THE rich blue color often seen in
masses of water is to be accounted for
by the action of the suspended particles
in the fluid on the light traversing it. To
understand how the color may vary it is
necessary to recall for moment the COM
position of sunlight. When such light is
passed through a triangular column of
glass or optical prism it is broken up into
the seven prismatic colors, gtz., red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,
violet.
When the light falls on water of suffi-
cient depth it is also decomposed or
broken up, the red rays of light are
absorbed near the surface of the water
and disappear, while the other colored
rays pass to a greater depth, one after the
other being lost in their proper order, 012.,
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,
until at last there is complete extinction
of light if the water is free from solid
particles.
The presence of minute particles, how
ever, causes part of the light to be re-
1ected, and according as this reflected
light has come from various depths SO
viii its color vary. If, for example, the
particles are large and freely reflect from
moderate depth, while they prevent re-
Election from greater depth, the color
will be green, while if they are minute
and the reflection is from great depth,
the color will be blue.
In the experimental examination OF this
subject Professor Tyndall reports that
while making trip in the steamer Urgent
he caused his assistant to cast white
plate attached to cord into the Waterfront
the forward part of the vessel, while he
marked its color when it reached his post
of observation at the stern. In every in
stance the plate appeared of green color
although the water was of deep blue,

A Terrible Tornado in Ulster County,
n. Y.

In Lackawac, Ulster County, n. Y, a
few days ago, dense black cloud, reach
ing from the earth to the zenith, swept
through the town. The stoutest trees
were twisted off at the roots like pipe
stems; barns were demolished; buildings
unroOfed and the roofs carried bodily for
miles. Stone heaps and fences were
drawn into it's spiral depths and blown
away life chaff. In the neighborhood of
Mr.. W. H. Wagons place it spent its
greatest fury. His barn.. which lay. di-
rectly in its track, was demolished in
tWinkling, and the air made black with
floating debris. In the barn several
children had sought shelter, and when
the building was swept away, one OF
them, Johnny Cone, was killed outright,
and several others were fatally injured.
One of the children was blown from the
barn, and carried along with the debris
several rods, alighting in field with Sc
we're bruises An old sleigh which was in
the barn was taken up like chip and
carried full half mile. It's ironwork was
twisted and bent as though made of
straw. The large doors of the barn were
lifted one hundred feet in the air and
blown quarter of mile away. The
cyclone passed between two buildings,
barely ten feet apart, but, strange to say,
without injuring them in the least. The
space between them was swept bare OF
every particle of grass, and the ground
was as hard as though it had been rolled
with a roller A team of horses were
blown down and detached from the
wagon, and the horses blown in one di-
rection and the wagon in an opposite one.
A large apple tree was torn up bodily by
the roots, carried to field several rods
off, and left standing upright. A bee
house Oh tho premieos of Elijah Nance
was wrecked, and bees, honey, and hives
were scattered in every direction. The
course of the whirlwind is as plainly
marked as the swath of mower in hay
field. The branches of one-half of some
of the trees are cut off as smoothly as
though done with knife, while those on
the other half remained untouched. In
some places the earth was swept bare of
every particle of verdure, and as smooth
as though it had been burnt over.

food. To prevent his escape, Professor
Cope fastened him by strap to the side
of the cage, but he soon united the knot,
and then relieved himself of the strap by
cutting and drawing out the threads that
held the flap for the buckle. He then
used the strap in novel way. He was
accustomed to catch his food DREAD, po-
tatoes, fruit, ETC. } with his hands, when
thrown to him. Sometimes the pieces
fell short three or four feet. One day he
seized his strap and began to throw it at
the food, retaining his hold of one end.
He took pretty correct aim, and finally
drew the pieces to within reach Of his
hand This performance he constantly
repeats, hooking and pulling the articles
to him in turns and loops OF the strap.

How the Sun Caught a Thief.

FIVE or six days ago, says Paris
paper, III. x, a photographer, allured
by the brightness of the sun, and the
softness Of the air, provided himself with
necessary baggage, and fastened to Fon-
tainebleau to take views of the forest.
He installed himself in very picturesque
quarter, erected his apparatus, prepared
his plates, opened his object glass, and
enveloping at once his case and his head
in large, dark and fiuctuant veil, set
himself to the task of Selling the objects
in view. He had just taken out his proof
from the dark chamber and was subject
ing it to chemical reaction, when strong
hand was laid upon his shoulder He
turned round hastily and found himself
in the presence of a species of giant,
mean1y attired, who by gesture and voice,
demanded his purse.
M. x is not Hercules, and from
the first glance toward his adversary, he
concluded that all resistance was useless.
He therefore politely offered his purse,
which was accepted with thankfulness.
The robber bowed, and, leaving him to
resignation, went into the depths of the
forest.
Poor x, meditating OH his sad loss,
renamed for some time motionless; his
looks were mechanically set on his photo
graphic proof he mused upon it with a
diverted and unconcerned eye. Sudden
ly, ''What is this?" exclaimed he; ''what
is the human form under this coppice
under the shade of this oak? Heaven!
Should 1 believe my eyes? 1t is he, it is
my robber, perfectly deliniated and very
easy to be recognized. Oh, divine sun,
my co-laborer, how well you do things"
On his return, he repaired to the police
commissioners at Fontainbleau, related
his adventure, exhibited his proof-plate
and the malfactor's likeness. Next day,
with the aid of this singular description,
the robber was arrested.

LOVES REASONS.

Why do love my darling so?
Good faith, my heart, | hardly know,
l have such store of reasons;
TWOuId take me all a summer day
Nay, saying half that could say
Would fill the circling seasons.
Because her eyes are softly brown,
My dove, who quietly hath flown
To me as to her haven?
Because her hair is SOFT and laid
MadOnna-wise, in simple braid,
And jetty as the raven?
Because her lips are sweet to touch,
Not chill, nor fiery Overmuch,
But softly warm as roses
Dear lips that chaSten while they move.
Lips that man may dare to love,
Till earthly love time closes?
Because her hand is soft and white,
OF touch so tender and so light,
That where her slender finger
Doth fall or move, the man to whom
The guards of Eden whispered "COmer'
Beneath its spell might linger?
Because her heart is woman-soft,
SO true, so tender, that l oft
Do marvel that treasure
SO rich, so rare, to me should fall,
Whose sole desert-so small, so small
ls-lOving past all measure?
Because she has such store of moods,
SO archly smiles, so staidly broods,
SO lovingly caresses;
SO that my heart may never tire
Of monotone, or more desire
Than she, my love, possesses?
Ah me! what know or what care |?
Or what hath love to do with ''why?"
How simple is the reasonl
love her-fOr she is my love
And shall while stars shall shine above,
And season follow season.

THE Japanese carry their manufacture
of paper to high degree of perfection,
and apply the product to many uses for
for which our article is unavailable. A
principal reason for their superiority in
this respect is found in the qualities of
some plants indigenous to Japan, which
furnish very excellent fiber. The one
most in use is a species of mulberry, and
is extensively cultivated. The plants are
annually cut down to the root until the
fifth year, by which treatment the wood
becomes dense and strong. From the
fibre pulp is obtained by special pro-
cesses, which is mixed with paste made
from the root of the tororo, a plant re-
sembling the cotton plant From this
mixed substance a very superior article
of paper is made.
