Supposed Suicides.

SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. lS.--It is believed
that Gustavc Maher suicded because he had
aecliaod to call a meeting of the stockholders
CT the bank, and consequently the stockholders
themselves called one for next Saturday to
demand statement of tho affairs and demand
his removal. No report has yet been made by
the state commissioners who recently examined
the bank, and it is believed that heavy losses
have entusd upon loans upon the suburban
property.

DO INSECTS TALK ;

'"Two ants" says Buchner, "when they
are talking together, stand with their heads
opposite each other, working their sensitive
feelers in he liveliest manner, and tap
ping each others heads. Numerous ex-
amples prove that they are able in this
way to make mutual communications, and
even on certain definite subjects"
II have often," says the English natu-
raLst, Jesse, 'placod small green cater-
pillar in the neighborlood of all ants
nest. 1t is immediately seized by an ant,
which calls in the assistance of friend
after Intellectual efforts to drag the cater
pillar into the nest. 1t can be clearly seen
that the little creatures hold a conversa-
ton by means of thir feelcrs, and this be-
ing ended, they repair together to the
by their united efforts. Further, 1 have
observed the meeting Of ants on the way
to and from the nest. They stop, touch
each other with their feelers, and appear
to hold conversation, which have good
reason to suppose refers to the best ground
for obtaining food"
Hague writes, in a letter to Darwin, that
he one day killed with his finger number
of ants who came every day from hole
in the wall to some plants standing on the
chimney-piece. He had tried the effect Of
brushing them away, but it was of no use;
and the consequence Of the slaughter was
that the ants turned back and tried to per-
suade their companions who were not yet
aware of their danger to turn back also.
A short conversation ensued between the
ants, which, however, did not result in an
immediate return, for those who had just
left the nest first convinced themselves of
the truth of the report.

ARSENIC MAKING,

A man armed with long iron hook pulls
open an iron door, and you gaze with awe
Into the DGntesque heart of huge, fierce
furnace, the white-hot contents slowly turn
ing roand, and ever falling in cascades of
yellow fire. 1t is found that at the works
on Devon sulphur in the pyrites is enough
to keep the furnace, when once heated,
a-burning without other fuel. The pro-
duct? HIRE it is, white heap of several
tons of it lying in an open shed, where
everybody passes by. II is something like
Gno -four. One of the men dips thumb
aud fingers loosely into the white powder,
puts Gnantity into the palm Of his other
hand, and brings ii to us to look at, pre-
cisely as miller shows sample Of flour,
smoothing it with his forefnger. One ex-
poets every moment to see him test it with
bis tongue; child probably would, but the
miner knows better. All this white heap
filed with arsenic. More than 1000 tons
year are sent out from this one mine,
to be used mainly in thoja brilliant modern
dyes by which our women and children can
dazzle the sunshine at a cheap expense.
ire they safe to wear? My chemistry
books do not plainly say yes or no. But
in one book have Glanced to open l find
the following remarks: "Arsenious acid,
white oxide of arsenic, or white arsenic.
This substance is Of tie highest import
ance as being the frequent agent of crimi-
nal or accidental poisoning.
There are few substances so much to be
feared [itl, being almost tasteless; it can
be mixed with articles Of food, and swal-
lowed without discovery, and there is no
practically efficient antidote." This inno-
cent,looking white powder, this potent aud
fatal substance, of which your chemist
must not sell you dose without entering
your name and address in book, of which
three grains weight will kill man, was ly-
ing by one of the ordinary roads of the
mine in open sheds, in heaps breast high.
l was assured that no kind of harm ever
comes of all this, save skin eruptions to the
work people, and these rarely, but it gave
one shiver to see those white mounds

EAT APPLES.
Wonders.

Apples, in addition to being delicious
fruit, makes pleasant medicine. A raw,
mellow apple is digested in an hour and a
half, while boiled cabbage requires five
hours. The most healthy dessert that Can
be placed on the table, is baked apple.
If eaten frequently at breakfast, with
coarse bread and butter, without meat or
flesh of any kind, it has an admirable effect
on the general system, aften removing con-
stipation, correcting acidities, and cooling
off feLrile conditions more effestnally than
the most approved medicines. If families
could be induced to substitute apples, ripe
and sound, for pies, cakes and sweetmeats,
with which their children are frequently
stuffed, there would be dimnution in the
total sum of doctors bills, i'll single year,
sufficient to lay in stock of this delicious
fruit for the whole seasons uae.

CHANGES EN FIGURES.

We are informed that twenty-four letters
of the alphabet can be changed $40, 446,-
401, 1873, 239, 439, $50, 600 of times, all of
which changes could not be written by the
population OF the whole world in thou
sand years. Again, twelve persons can
interchange their respective positions four
hundred and ninety nine million one thou
sand six hundred times; but it would take
them not less than one thousand eight hum
dred and forty eight years to accomplish
this number of CT nges, if they moved
every minute for twelve consecutive hours
daily. If any twelve of our readers doubt
the correctness of this statement they
should get together and try the experiment.
If they perform the task in less time than
one thousand eight hundred and forty
eight years, they will please notify US by
postal card. The fifty-two cards of an or
dinary pack of playing cards, with thirteen
to each of the four players, can be distri-
buted in 53,644, ,737, 75G, 488, 792, 839, ,237,-
100000 different ways. So if the player
doesn't get good hand the first deal, he
may be more successful on the forty-seventh

THE uses to which paper can be ap-
piled are constantly on the increase. But
a few years ago it was hardly used be-
yond stationery and wrapping purposes,
while now thousand articles of every
day Use are manufacted from it, and its
adaptability to new purposes is being con-
tinually demonstrated. The latest form
is paper barrel patent by firm in Ro-
chester, New York. They claim a paper
barrel consisting of an inner cylinder,
thick wooden heads, and outer paper
cylinder having projecting chimes bevelcd
inward and secured by suitable hoops.
In paper barrel thick wooden upper
head concave on its under side, and pro-
vided with bung-hole at the apex Of
the c0ncavity, in combination with Il
cylinder barrel or other similar structure
wedgcd-shaped hoops adapted to be
tightened against the curved walls by
wedging them together, In barrel
having both heads permanently attached
during the process Of manufacture, the
combination of head having bung-
hole with head provided with cavity
for the purpose of enabling the
barrel to be mounted on a mandrcl or
shaft during the work of finishing it.
Following close on the paper barrel come
paper pals, patented by firm in Con
necticut. They claim a pail or vessel
having downwsrdly projecting hange
upon the bottom or head thereof, and
