EMISSION OF LIGHT BY FLOWERS. An
English writer says that June II. at
$40 P. NJ, he IVES looking at bed of
Scarlet Geraniums in bloom in front of
n small winery racing southwest, when
he was startled by seeing distinct
flashes of light Auttering to and fro,
horizontally and in a line with the
flowers Of short row OF deep scarlet
kind of geranium. A friend saw it and
they observed it five minutes, during
which the light was intermittent, but
at intervals of only few seconds. He
thinks the light exuding through the
row was caused by all the flowers of the
row emitting small flashes at the same
time.

SALUTISG THE AMERICAN FLAG. A
correspondent, writing from Rio Janeiro,
Brazil, says: "a few days ago a most
ridiculous affair happened in the harbor.
An ice-ship from Boston entered the
bay, commanded by Captain Green,
in the South American trade. Fort
Santa Cruz, not recognizing his house
flag, hailed him, and ordered him to
'heave to- But the worthy skipper
didn't speak Portuguese, and the simple
statement of the name of his vessel,
which he hurled at the fort, was not at
all satisfactory; so blank shot was
fred as mild suggestion for him to
stop. But he called for his revolver,
and, pointing it skyward, fired six sue
cessive shots.
Then a solid shot from the fort
skipped across his bow, and another,
better aimed, passed through his fore
sail. The fort and two shore batteries
opened fire upon him, and several of his
light spars were cut away. But he held
on his course rejoicing, loading and
firing his revolver. Finally he reached
quarantine and came to anchor Just as
his flying jib-boom was shot away. He
was then so near the other shipping that
they dared fire on him no longer, and
the police boat, the custom house boat,
and the health boat all boarded him,
together with the captain of the port,
who, with more vigor than politeness,
wanted to know "Why he didn't heave

Humorous

A LAuGHABLE LOVE SroRY.-A rich
old gentleman had an only daughter,
possessed of the highest attractions,
moral, personal and pecuniary. She
was engaged and devotedly attached to
a young man in every respect worthy
of her choice. All the marriage preli-
minaries were arranged, and the wedding
was fixed to take place on q certain
Thursday. On the Monday preceding
the wedding-day the bride and groom
elect (who was to have received $50, 900
down on his wedding day, and further
sum of 100000 on his father-in-law'
death, (an event which would probably
soon occur, had a little jealous squabble
with his intended at the evening party.
The ''tiff7' arose in consequence of his
paying more attention than she thought
justifable to lady with sparkling eyes
and inimitable ringlets.
The gentleman retorted, and spoke
tauntingly of a certain cousin whose
waistcoat was the admiration of the COM
pany, and limited that it had been en-
broidered by the fair heiress herself.
He added that it would be soon enough
for him to be schooled after they were
married and that she adopted the
"breeches" little too soon. After the
supper they became reconciled appar-
emily, and the bridegroom elect, in
taking leave, was kind and affectionate.
On the next morning the swain regretted
the angry feeling he had exhibited and
the cutting sarcasm with which he had
given it vent and, as q part of the
amende honorable, packed up mag
nificent satin dress which he had pre-
viously bespoke for his beloved (which
had been sent home in the intervaD and
sent it to the lady with the following
note:
"DEAREST JANE have been unable
to close my eyes all night, i'll thinking
of our misunderstanding last evening.
Pray pardon me and, in token of your
| forgiveness, deign to accept the accom-
panying dress, and wear it for the sake
Of your most affectionate Henry"
Having written the note. he gave it to
his servant to deliver with the parcel.
But, as a pair of pantaloons happened
to need repairing. he availed himself OF
the opportunity (the servant having to
pass the tailor's shop to send them in
another package to the tailor. The man
made the fatal blunder, left the satin
dress with Snip, and took the note and
the damaged trowsers to the lady. So
exasperated was she at what she con-
sidered a determined and deliberate
affront, that when her admirer called she
ordered the door to be closed in his face,
refused to listen to any explanation, and
resolntely broke off the match.

OK THE MANUFACTURE OF ETHER--O.
Suffenguth states that the best method
of making large quantities of ether is
by the continuous process. A retort,
containing mixture of nine parts sui
phuric acid of &C. b. and five parts 80
per cent alcohol, is heated to 2S4' Fab.
and alcohol allowed to flow in continu-
ously to keep the mixture at constant
level. Heretofore a direct fire has been
applied under the copper or iron retort :
but owing to the inflammability and
volatility of the ether. this is evidently
dangerous and moreover, the direct
fire soon destroys the retort, or at least
dissolves the leaden lining. This is
now entirely avoided by the use OF
superheated, high pressure steam for
heating the retort. Even though this
method is rather more expensive, it
prevents igniting and exploding the
ether vapor, which quite compensates
for the cost. Another advantage is the
ease with which a constant temperature
is maintained by regulating the pres
sure, so that the operation is no longer
dependent upon the care and experience
of the workmen.
Various materials have been used for
the retort or still. sometimes copper
alone. sometimes coppe- lined with
lead. and also iron lined with lead.
Experience has proved that the last
named is not only the cheapest but will
last the longest. If the operation is
carefully conducted, Go per cent of ether
of a specific gravity of o. 730 will be OBJ
tanned. Half a pound of sulphuric acid
makes 100 pounds Of ether, and the
apparatus is so constructed that il can
be reflled without interrupting the
operation. Great attention to the regu-
lation of tine temperature and TO the
flowing in of the alcohol are the princi-
pal conditions for obtaining large
yield.
The crude ether thus obtained is freed
from the acid dissolved in il and washed,
after which IL is rectifed In a suitable
apparatus. Attempts have been made
to rectify II in the process of its manu-
facture, by conducting the ether yapor
into a vessel with double walls, the

are condensed. while the ether passes
