az interview with an officer OF the Egyptian

The millionaire, Luck Baldwin,
for once in his life, comes out of 3
speculation wrong end foremost. He
read that Flora Temple was origi-
nally purchased out Of drove for
$50, and that Dutchman was bought
out of brick cart for tS5. This set
the great 6nancier thinking, and q
brilliant idea was born. He would
watch the butcher carts and the milk
wagons for q treasure in disguise,
and, when found would develop the
animal private. And when the COM
| ing wonder was thus rescued from
oblivion and would astonish the
world with its speed, the laxative
town would howl with laxative envy.
Some six weeks ago the lynx eye
of the great fnancier rested upon
half starved, over worked, slab-sided
animal, the of horse Of q street car
team. Eureka! At last he had
found the treasure. The next day
this Bucephalus, in embryo, was his
property for the Insignificant sum Of
$50. The equine anatomy was sent
to training quarters, fed, groomed
and exercised in the most approved
manner. When at length he ap-
peared on the road and was found
able to pass everything he met, the
Joy of the banker knew no bounds.
All were his guests at the roadside
inns, corks flew, and jokes were
cracked.
Among the guests on this occasion
was an old Sacramento sport who
drove a faded specimen of departed
greatness in the shape of q rrotter,
which was never allowed to pass the
new wonder on the road. After the
banker was fooled to the top of his
bent, he was induced to banter Old
Sport for match with Centennial
the name he had given to his new
purchase-for $500 side, mile heats
TO road wagon. The match was at
length made for Thursday, January
9th.
Old Sport found out that Centen-
NAL had done service on street cars
Tor two years and therefore was very
obedient to the sound of the bell.
Procuring one of these he carefully
screwed it into the floor of his wagon
under the seat, so arranged that his
toe could easily strike it.
On the day of the race the horses
were on the track at the appointed
time, and were sent off at an even
start amid the vociferous cheers of
party Of the bankers friends. Seen
tennial' was to be held in to tire out
the old plug for about half mile,
and then let out to distance him in
the FIRST heat. She was about to
forge ahead, when sting went the
bell, and he came to full stop SO
suddenly that his driver came near
being pitched over the dashboard.
Old Sport of course shot ahead. BY
the use of the whip the bankers
horse was again started, and soon
caught up to the old plug. The bell
again, and there was another
full stop. The trial was repeated At
for the balance of the way
home, the old plug gong wheeling
past the judges stand a winner. The
eighth wonder OF the world was dis
tanced at all seems like hideous
iream." Mr.. Baldwin feebly remarked

Strange Scientific Facts.

Prof. Tyndall recently read = paper
before the British Royal Society, on
the Optical Department of the At
mosphere with reference to the
Phenomena of Putrefaction and In
fection," and surprised and gratifed
his hearers by communicating much
more than was conveyed by his title,
for he touched upon the subject Of
spontaneous generation" and an
nounced the fact that thoroughly
pure air will not transmit light. He
showed by q series of simple but
brilliant experiments that spontane.
GUS generation is an absolute impos-
sibility, and that if solutions open to
the air soon swarm with life, it is be-
cause they have been impregnated
BY living particles floating in the air
which has been thoroughly freed
from floating particles by fire, the &C
ton of acids, or otherwise, will not
produce Lille; and further proof was
given by DR.. Tyndall's researches in
1868 and 1869, with the additional
facts that fltering through cotton
wool clears the air as effectually as
fire, and that air thus purified will not
transmit light. A glass chamber fill
ed with purified air remains dark,
even when placed in the track of a
concentrated beam Of light. There is
nothing to reflect or scatter the light;
and it may now be accepted as an
axiom that air wich has lost its power
ofscattering light has also lost its
power of producing ife-thus leaving
spontaneous generation" chimera.
This being the case, it should be
possible and practicable, to Danish
paratistic or contagious disease from
the earth. DR.. Tyndall further finds
that air can be rendered OFFICIALLY
pure by merely leaving it undisturb-
ed three or four days in close cham
Der. All the floating matter subsidies
and the confined air will not transmit
light. Solutions placed therein re-
main unaltered, though left for
while similar solutions open
to the ordinary air swarm with bscte-
ia, or minute forms of animal life, in
,wo days.
