PhOsphOrescepce.


Home and SCHOOL,
When the Venus was at anchor of
Simons Town the sea was so phosphor
escent that the cabin of the naturalists
was lighted as with lamp. The water
when poured from one bucket into an.
other, was like molten lead; and when
the hand was plunged into it, it came out
covered with luminous eOrpuscles, gilt.
tering like diamonds full of light.
Spallanzain made numerous expert.
ments upon the light of the meduse.
He found that the phosphorescent power
lay in their tentacles in the muscular
zone of the body, and in the cavity OF
the stomach. The rest of the body OF
the animal emitted no light when agi-
tated. The source OF the phosphores.
cence resides in a viscous liquid,
which is secreted and oozes to the sur
face from these organs. If this LIQUID
be mixed with other liquids it exhibits
its luminosity. One single aurelia
squeezed in twenty.seven ounces Of milk
made the whole so luminous that let
ter could be read by its light at yard 9
distancel
Pliny observed that the pholas dac-
tylus, little bivalye, possessed such a
phosphorescence that the lips of the
persons who ate it became luminous.
He also noticed that this light appeared
on the clothes if any Of the liquid from
the animal fell upon them.
The noctiluca miliaris, one of those
infusoria which chiefly contribute to the
phosphorescence of the sea, is very
small; fifty thousand of them can live
with the greatest comfort in a winegass
of water

ten miles square, heavily timbered, and
unbroken by clearings or highways, from

Interesting Facts About CigaFs-
, The Different Varieties ana Prices
1t is strange, among nations Of smokers
other than the Cubans or Spaniards, how
little understood are the distinctive
marks by which manufacturers indicate
the make, shape, size, color and quality
of cigars. One may frequently hear a
gentleman offer Concha, Regalia or
a Londre, under the impression that they
convey the idea Of some superior brand
Of especially fine quality. Instead Of
this they only offer a cigar Of a certain
size or shape, the quality of which may
be anything from the finest "Upmann"
or "Carbarga" to the poorest Connect
cut. Or you are offered a good Ma
duro, which is not made by Mr.. Maduro
but it is simply cigar of ripe or dark
color But to any one, with scant smat-
tering Of Spanish, the various marks
used by the trade en- cigar boxes are
readily explainable. First and most
important of these is, of course, the
brand, so called from being usually
burned on the box by hot iron. This
is either the name of the proprietor,
manufacturing firm or the special fancy
name given to the factory, in accord
ance with Cuban custom which SO de-
signates their retail shops, as "The
Pearl, "The Rose Of Seville" etc, or
as though Ball, Black & Co.'s establish
ment were here known as the Golden
Eagle" instead Of by their name.
The brands, then, are either such as
"Upmann & Co., "Csbaua y Carbajal," "
"Carbarga & Co." or the we'll known
Figaro" La Corona" Flor del Fu-
mar" (The Flower of Smoking), etc.
These are the special trade marks OF the
factories indicated. Next in order comes
the indication of style, i. e., size and
shape, and the terms used are, as a rule,
common to all manufacturers, very few
making any designated shape or size ex-
cusively. This mark is stenciled, usually,
on the front of the box. The best known
and most familiar of these to our ears
now, are: Regalia-about the same as
our word present" or gift the
largest ordinary size. Media Regalia-
smaller cigar, etc. Londres-a Medium
size for length thickness, SO called and
as being favorite size in England. Bre-

ing shell, but really named after

poleones and Imperiales are extra large
fancy sizes, but little used, except for
snowy presents.
Among shape and size marks there
are two, now seldom heard, but no doubt
familiar to many readers-the Trabuco

cigar; and its direct opposite, the Pane

INTEREST DURING THE WAR.-Yesterday's
Landmark contains the following abstract OF
a recent decision of Judge Hughes in the
United States District Court at Norfolk on
the subject of "war Interest,":
In the chancery case of L. Harmansou, as
signee Of Portsmouth Savings Fund Society,
uS. S. NJ. Wilson ef ais, decree was rem
dered granting the prayer Of the bill, but
sustaining the claim of the defendant Will
son to be allowed a deduction of interest on
the promissory notes mentioned 10 the bill
during the war. The argument on this ques.
ton OF war interest was deliberately made by
Judge Heath against an abatement, and by
DIR. Wilson and Messrs. Baker aud Wake
for it; and the decision Of the court was
given in writing. The court rested its
decision abating the war interest on
the Virginia cases (uever overrnled) OF

power OF declaring what rate OF interest
may be taken has been constantly reserved
to the Subsequently, TO the Legislature. IL

moreover, tia, the said clause in the National
Constitution should he strictly, not latitude

context with the phrases "bitl Of attaindcr,"
"es rest .fucto liw," &,.-phlascs which arc

The Dispatch was amongst the earliest if

monstrous organization of corruption and
oppression under the name of the Internal

PosTAGE.-Last year the postage received
by tue Government from newspapers
amounted to a little under eleven hundred
thousand dollars. Congress last winter abol-
ished all postage upon niue-tenths of the
papers (weekles) and reduced the postage
upon the remainder to two cents per pound
instead oiabouts six, but required prepayment.
The result shows that the receipts this year
will be tbree-fourths Of what they were
last-thus proving that if the old rates bad
been retained and prepayment required the
revenue from newspapers would have been
some three or four millions Of dollars.
