conclusions from his experiments
are chat the violet rays, of all Others,
possess the most intense electro
chemical power; the red light also
very rich in calOrific rays; blue
light, on the contrary, is quite de-
void of them, as well of chemical
and electric ones. Its hepeAocnt

'tis the absolute negation of all ex-
citement, it succeeds admirably in
calming the excitement of furious

A Child OF Shadows.

Months ago a Detroiter was sent

wife, a hardworking woman, and
Sorely afflicted in health, managed
to provide food aud fuel for herself

death came to end the struggle.
The little girl, hardly eight years
old, was all alone in the house when
her mother died. The event occur
red at dark, and at midnight the
child was heard singing in the dark
ness. A pedestrian who halted
heard her say
Mother, won't you wake mp and
light the lamp? If you will, | will
sing some more"
Suspecting what had happened,
he reused some of the neighbors,
and as they went in, the child sat in
the darkness, holding its mothers

And teach me how to ray"

The shooting season is now at its
hight in England; all the country
houses are filling, and from Ber-
wick to PenzaGce the report of guns
is heard through the land. Every
one has to pay fl year for a gun
license, and this raises an annual
revenue of many thousands a year.
The greatest game preseryer in
England is the Maharaiah Dhu-
leeph Singh, an Indian ppince, who
was brought 10 England as a child
to save him from a Babes-in-the
Wood sort Of uncle. The Mahara-
jah took very kindly to British soil,
and decidedly prefers Norfolk COW
ers and sthbbles to "lndia's coral
strands" The splendid income
paid him by the Crown, which, in
return, takes his Indian revenue, ia
principally spent at his seat, Hlye-
don Hall, in that county, and the
only life he cares for is that of a
country gentleman. lie is a strict
evangelical member of the Church
of England, and hears a very high
character. The Maharaiah is heir
of Punjet Singh, who died in 1889
enormously rioh. Elvedon Hall,
his Norfolk home, is furnished and
appointed in an do-Ehropem
style of the most sumptuOus splen-
