account Of u case of slinstrcke, written by the

recovered, he experienced suffering, even from
the rays o. the moon This led him 10 the retec
ton that 1t was not altogether the heat of the sun
that produced prostrstion. After much research
he discovered that the injury came from the
chemical ray, and not from the heat iay. He was
guided TO this by observing the fact that photo.
graph could not be taken through n hollow glass.
Accordingly, he lined his hat with two Innings
one OF orange yellow to arrest the chemical ray,
and one OF green 10 arrest the heat ray. Thus
prepared, he went where the rays OF the sun were
mOst intense with perfect impunity. II is well
known that the negro is seldom sun-sfuck. The
color Of his skin over the skull being of the or.
ange yellow, may assist in accounting for the
fact. l praciiced upon this sugg estion sl last

truth of the theory to neglect my umbrella, some

RoUGH ON OUR CoNGRHssMAN.-At the ex.

by one Of the "end mer" elected great deal oil
laughter and applause. One of them remark ed
that be had his head injured, and the doctor
told him to leave his brains there and he wonld
clean them and pnt them back again. The fel-
low not calling, the doctor went after him and
asked him why he did not come after his brains
The man remarked that he did not need them,
as he had been elected Congressman from Della

sion.
This is hard on our James.-Sussfr Journal.
The Jom nal might have added the audience
