BRIGHTON, England, has been startled
by the apparition of man mounted on
bicycle of colossal dimensions, who
glides along on level with the tops of
the lamp posts, towering above the
height of ordinary carriages. The driv-
ing wheel of this machine is nearly
eight feet in height, so that the riders
head is some twelve feet from the
ground. The courage required to mount
on the top of wheel of this height was
only outdone by the dexterity with
which the machine was guided and the
velocity attained. A champion bicyclist
ventured to try ride on this monster,
and found it necessary to cling ignomin-
iously to a lamp post in order to dis
mount A man of ordinary size is ena-
bled to ride this bicycle by means of a
secondary treadle placed above the usual
crank, and connected by rod. the ac-
ton of stroke being what is termed reci-
predatory. The wheel is two hundred
and sixty inches in circumference.

Spontaneous Combustion Of Wasp's
Nests.

| A correspondent to Nature from
! Caracas, says: Some time ago the house
of General p. NJ Arismendi (now Con
sui of Venezuela in Port-of-Spain, Trini-
dad), in this city, had n rather narrow
escape from being set on fire by the
spontaneous combustion of a large
wasp's nest Ga species of Pohistis) in a
closet under the roof The day was ex-
ceedingly hot, but this circumstance, |
think, has a very slight connection Gf
any at ally with the outbreak of smoke
from the nest. Roofs in this country
are constructed Of tiles supported by a
thick layer of compact earth, which
rests on the usual lath-wUrk of dry
canes (the stems of GyneriUm sdccht-
rOiies, or arborescent grass), both being
very bad conductors of heat. The
source of heat must, therefore, have been
in the nest itself. In beehives the tenn
perature rises AS high as thirty-cight
centigrade, about one hundred degrees
Fahrenheit (tcste Newport as cited in
Girdwoyn, "Anat. ct Physiol, de
PAbeille," p. 23.) We may be allowed
to suppose that something similar hap
pens occasionally in wasp's nests, Such
a beat might be caused by an alteration
beginning in the wax, hydrocarbons be-
ing formed, which, on being absorbed
by the paper-like, porous substance of
the cell-walls, must get still more
heated, so that n comparatively small ac-
cess of oxygen would be sufficient to set
the whole nest on fire.
| have been assured that the spon-
tancous combustion of wasp's nests is a
well-known fact in the interior of
Venezuela, and, as | do not recollect
having found it mentioned in books, it
appeared to me worth while to inquire
whether something similar has been OBJ
served in other parts of the world, and
if 50, whether my explanation will hold
good in all cases.

GREAT SCARCITY OF BIB1Es IN Mon

Of the Morgantown Weekly Post, was

having no Bible Of his own, sent a
messenger in great haste to Sanford

and no such article being found in his
office the messenger was directed TO
the office of Gus Raymond, Clerk of
the Circuit Court, who told the mes
senger his clerical library did not
contain any such book, but he in
tended to buy one soon. Would it
not be entirely in accordance with the

IBy our Reporter.l


President Thompson returned on
Monday from brief visit to West
Union, Doddridge county.
On Thursday morning Of last week
he made Il most eloquent appeal to
the students TO abstain from unw or
thy and impure conduct, especially
from righteousness, into which a few
The was glad to saw only few were
drifting. He appealed te the honor
of the young men, TO their sense of
justice, to the affections of their
mothers and sisters, aud Rnally de-
picted the horrors of living the life
of profligaie and .debauchee,
"whose putrid carcass is stencil to
his fellows and burning libel on
Gods creatures" The President
prefaced his remarks by saying that
what he might have To say would
apply to only very small minority
Of the body Of students nearly all of
whom bore good moral characters.
lfany possible language can warn
young boys against immortality and
vice, that of our worthy President ia
calculated to do so. No one takes a
more lively interest in the IN raj
welfare of the boys than Mr.Thomp-
son, who is ever on the alert to pro-
mote their best interests.
