New Use for q Hat.

The following story is told as occur
ring during the recent trip of the legis-
lative excursiOnists to the upper penin-
sula: The trip from Marquette to
Houghton was made on the steamer
Peerless, and, as there was scarcity of
state-rooms, Governor Croswell and
Lieutenant-Go Sessions were
obliged to occupy the same room. In
disrobing himself, the Governor set his
new silk hat down in the corner near the
washstand where he thought it would
not get uliled up. Early in the MORN
ing, before it had grown light, the Lieu
arose and washed him.
self. In the dusk of the state-room he
mistook the Governors beaver for
slop-receiver, and twice emptied the
contents of the washbowl into it. The
Governor arose, and seeing the dirty
water in the hat, made the same mis-
take as his roommate. When he was
ready to leave the room he remembered
where he had placed his hat, and on
reaching down for it was awakened to
the real situation, and to the fact that he
had no other Uranium covering with
him. The Governor wore a silk hand
kerchief ON his head until he arrived at
where q new hat was pur-
chased. Mich Patriot.

Among other battles at which one A.
sists this moment in France is that be-
tween electric candles and gaslight.
Yesterday evening l visited this pecu.
liar candle mandatory, in the Avenue
des Villiers, the director of which is a
Russian engineer and also the inventor,
NJ. Joblockoff. Now, as Voliaire OBJ
served, light comes from the North.
The laboratory is hung with pictures and
colored stuffs, which can be as easily dis
tinguished in their shades as if in full
MONDAY. The candles have the same
ratio to gas and oil lamps as sun to
moonlight. The inventor poured some
glasses of water on the flame 81 his
dips, but they burned away all the same.
They emit no smoke, and consequently
can not blacken objects, nor any heat
$50 times less than an ordinary candle
hence books will not fall out of their
bindings, nor tapestry turn into black
snuff. There can be no fire, no explo-
sions, and the light can be laid on some
three to fifteen times cheaper than gas
or oil light. The light does not tremble
or twinkle much, and none at all If it
passes through globe slightly opaque.
The candle is composed of two cylin-
drical sticks of charcoal, separated by
a preparation of sand, ground glass and
kaolin; amagnetO-electro machine fur
nishes the current, which flows from
one point to the other of the charcoal
rods. Each candle burns three hours,
and the extinction of one lights up an
other. We are then on the eve of q
great discovery; as the proof of the
pudding is in the eating of it, the inven-
ton win soon he tested, as the circus,
the opera, the Louvre drapery shop, and
the railway termini are to be illuminate
ed by the new process. 1t will never be
accepted by ladies for a ballroom, as,
unlike charity, it will not cover a null
titude of sins.-Paris Letter TO San

The Use II RarthsWorHs.

Forty years ago Mr.. Darwin read {
paper before the Geological Society, in
which he showed that the formation and
the characters of the so-called " vegeta.
BILE mold" which forms a covering sew.
eral inches in depth on the surface of all
productive; land, were due, in great
measure, to the constant activity of the
common earth-worm. These animals
burrow through the soil, taking into
their bodies, As they, 60, earth from
| which to. extract the nutritive 5matters
on which they subsist; and then, com
ing to the surface, deposit the nOn-nu-
tritiOus portions of the earth in the form
of little heaps. These heaps, accumu-
lating, produce superficial layer of
very finely-divided mold, which in the
course of years forms q stratum several
inches thick, eminently suitable for the
growth Of plants. The work done by a
single worm is naturally very small; but
the insigniiicance of the individuals is
quite made up by the immense numbers
