She was little censorious in the narration
OF her grievances TO the authorities, who

DR.. William W. Jacques, OF the Johns
Hopkins University, at Baltimore, has in
vented a new form of spectroscope, which
greatly extends the possibilities Of spectre
scopic research by allowing the study OF
the rays emitted by solid and liquid incan-
descent substances, whereas it has hitherto
been confined to gases. 1t also raises the
subject from qualitative to quantitative
basis by enabling us to measure the relative
intensities Of all the different physical rays
admitted. During the past year DR.. Jacques
has made an extensive series of measure
ments with this instrument of variety of
substances, differing us widely as possible
in physical and chemical properties, from
which he is enabled to determine the MOLE
cular weight Of these substances, and to
draw some important conclusions as to the
structure OF the molecules. DR.. Jacques
thinks that the similarity Of the kinds and
intensities OF the rays emitted by all sub
stances, and the differences due to differ
ences in the weights OF the molecules, point
very strongly to the conclusion that all mat
ter is made up of ultimate particles which
are all alike, and that different forms OF
matter grow out OF the differences OF ar
rangement OF these ultimate particles In the

Rhsa,s Wrestle with the Mad Dog.
From the Little Rock fArk.) Gsxette.l

From the LitfIc Hock tAfk.l 6axette.l
& Near Gold creek, and about seven miles
from the railroad, In Faulkner county, lives
a man named Rhea. ias.ner on small
ecaie, having recently opened q farm. Last
Monday evening while Rbea and his wife
were sitting in front OF their door two dogs
Jumped over the fence and ran under the
house. AT first very little notice was taken
of the animals, there being several fox
huntars in the neighborhoo6, and the Rheas
supposed that the dogs belonged to them.
but presently a terrific bowling and fighting
began. Soon both dogs ran out, and one OF
them, n large b,indle, OF decidedly ugly
type, started towards Rhea with mouth
half open. Rbea stopped and picked up an
old churn-dasher lying on stump, and,
as the dog sprang at him, struck the beast
over the tead. Stunned for a moment, the
animal recoiled, but only for moment, for
he sprang again before Rhea had time to
prepare himself. Graphing the dog by
the throat and holding his mouth as far
away az possible, desperate struggle
began. The dogs eyes glsred, and his
mouth emitted that froth only known to
hy hydrophobia. Mrs. Rbe4 ran into the
house and soon returned with case-knife,
which she handed TO her husband. The
blunt-pointed and dull-edg WEAPON went
time and again against the unimaps throat
without drawing blood or lessening bis
fury. The strong grasp. OF the man kept
bis teeth away, but suchsa grip could not
last long. Again the woman entered the
house, and this time returned with u shot
gun. Cooking it and rushing up TO the
founderins dog, she placed the muZzle
close to the animals flanks and fired. There
was a sudden give-way and seemingly ad-
ditonal glare Of the eyes, but no sound.
Taking advantage of the first shot, the gun
was again fired, and the animal fell over

PERSONALS AND BRIEFs.-Some OF the We

opinion that the newspapers had eXaggc-
