The Missouri Republican OF yester.
day says. "Some genius has de-
vised a method of relief from
the torture of escaping steam from
vessels and locomotives. 1t is called
the spiral exhaust nozzle, and causes the
steam, instead Of piercing through and
through ones entire makeup, to pass
of noiselessly. 1t operates by breaking
the waves of sound, the escaping steam
being surrounded by a wire helix, and
obliged to pass through the interstices.
A report Of the committee on science
and the arts of the Franklin institute
says that the invention accomplishes the
object sought perfectly" Bradley says

to have them held to bail Is no fault Of the
officers who made the arrests. The

enyiable position, and that in their efforts
to bring Offenders to justice, no matter
how clear the case against them may be,
they are frequently met by obstacles

come. We do not blame the officers for
the failure to convict in this instance.

A Mexican Border Outrage.

Colonel Paschal of Corpus Christi,
Texas, gives Che following account of an
outrage by banditti from across the Rio
Grande:
Hugh Scott, president of the Corpus
Christi and Rio Grande railroad COM
pany, visited San Diego, about ffty-fve
miles from Corpus Christi, in company
with q young man from Philadelphia,
who was there for the purpose of dis
posing of some railroad iron. On their
way back in All ambulance, and when
about six miles from San Diego, they
we're halted by five Mexicans, who tied
them to the ambulance and robbed them
of their watches and money. Before re-
leasing them the Mexicans saw another
ambulance approaching, and leaving
with Scott and his friend, a shepherd,
whom they had captured and were hold
ing rs a prisoner, they interrupted the
vehicle containing an old sheep-farmer,
living ct San Diego, and his son, who
had been to Corpus Christi, and the day
before had sold their wool crop for $500.
The Mexican robbers shot the son
through the head, killing him instantly.
The old man showing a disposition to
fight, was also killed, and his money was
taken. In the meantime Scott and his
friend and the shepherd succeeded in
releasing themselves. The former two
escaped and went to Corpus Christi,
while the shepherd went to San Diego
and reported the outrage. A company
of men were raised in San Diego and
pursued the thieves. Near Conception
they discovered that the Mexicans had
stopped long enough to kill the owner
of q ranch. They were then pursued for
about one hundred miles. but escaped,
their trail leading across the Rio Grande
river.

How Cooke Stopped the Stage Thunder.

During the early days of Cooke, the
celebrated actor, he would have attend
ed every performance at the theater, but
his funds would not permit, and many
were the schemes he devised for a sur
reptitious entrance. One of these, told
by himself, is extremely ludicrous. One
night he slipped through the stage door
before the keeper was posted, or any of
the employees about, and, cropping his
way behind the scenes, sought for a
place where he might remain concealed
until the curtain rose, when he hoped to
be able to ensconce himself in some OBJ
scure spot unobserved and get a glimpse
of the performance. In a remote corner
he found a very large barrel-nothing
could be better for his purpose. Drop
ping himself into it he found at the bot
tom two twenty-four-pound cannon balls,
about which, however, he did not trouble
himself. Little did he imagine that he
had taken refuge in the machine by
which the theater produced its stage
thunder. But so it was. Just as the
last bars of the overture were being
played, the property man tied a piece of
carpet over the top of the barrel, with
out perceiving in the dark its living oc-
cupant, raised it in lis arms, no doubt
wondering at its extraordinary weight,
and carried it to the side scenes. The
play vas Macbeth" which opens with
thunder and lightning. AS the curtain
bell sounded, away he sent the machine
rolling. Horribly frightened, and pound
ed by the cannon balls, Cooke roared out
Justify, and fighting to release himself,
sent the barrel on to the stage, burst off
the carpet head, and rolled out in front
OF the audience, scattering the three
witches right and left.

FLYING Power OF Bees.

The following experiments we're made
with bees by Herr Donhoff: He took
some bees from the hive, just as they
came out of the entrance hole, and
placed them under q glass bell, at a tenn
perature of si1ty-six degrees Fahrenheit.
First they ran hastily up and down the
sides of the glass and flew about the jar.
Some time after, their movements be-
came less hasty, and finally they all sat
quietly together, or moved slowly and
clumsily, being unable to fly about. A
few were allowed to crawl upon a pencil,
which, on being ierked, threw them into
the air they fell down perpendicularly
without moving their wings in the least
Two or three were then killed and their
honey-bags found to be empty. 10 the
others Herr Donhoff then gave q solution
of sugar, and after feeding for a few
moments, he again threw them into the
air. They no longer fell down perpen-
dicularly but O little further off, also NOV
ing the wings. A minute afterward they
did not fall at all, but flew to the window.
On repeating the experiment at a lower
temperature, they lost their power OF
flying even sooner, and longer period
elapsed before it returned afterthey were
fed on sugar-water. In higher tenn
peratures the power returned sooner.
Herr Donhof thinks it probable that the
bee looses the power of flying because it
does not possess the necessary strength
to be converted into muscular action,
and that this strength returns to it's sys-
tenn because in sugar it finds the neces.
sary vital support.

A Tornado in Mid Air,

A few days ago, on the morning when
heavy showers fell here, q sublime sight
WAS discovered by q few persons who
happened to be looking to the northwest
about eight o'clock. The blacklist of
black clouds, torn and ragged, were being
driven through the mir toward the south
east. They rolled and tumbled as ocean
tornadoes will distort with the waves,
and were evidently flung like feathers
by a terrific tornado, which passed over
the center of the village, but too high
up to disturb objects upon the earth.
The trees near the district schoolhouse
were made to bow, but the mad forces
were too far up to exert their full power
upon them. Had the tornado run one
hundred feet lower, it is believed by
those who observed it that buildings
would have been demolished in IN in

A Female Chemist,

We often read of women who unscx
themselves in appearance in order to en-
gage in some masculine employment,
such rs that of q sailor or soldier, or
even q farm hand. But a Russian jour
nal tells the following incident, which is
still more curious than any of these
A young Russian has for some years
been prosecuting his chemical studies of
the university of Leipsic with unusual
zeal. The young man, of an aristocratic
exterior, made friends of all who came
in contact with him. Recently he passed
a most brilliant examination, which was
rewarded with the dignity of master Of
arts.
Soon thereafter n young lady called on
one Of the most prominent professors Of
the university, addressing the celebrated
savant in the following words:
ct desire, professor, before I depart
from Leipsic, to express to you my mos'
hearty thanks"
The professor, perfectly astonished,
observed:
"Thanks-but for what ?"
"Listen, sir. I was married to the
old Prince -. My husband dice
some years ago. He died insolvent, sc
that I was left even without the daily
bread. I resolved to seek the necessary
moons of subsistence in science"
The professor then interrupted her,
saying:
eyes, INST gracious lady neverthe'
less I cannot see why you should ad'
dress any thanks to me-"
The lady continued
"Observe, then !; it is now more thai
three years that here in Leipsic [ have
been q stndent. The student who lately
passed the examination, and whom you
con, idered worthy of distinction, is none
other than myself"
