THE UPAs TREE.

Many fine simile has been destroyed
by the discoveries made Of late years
concerning the upas of Java. 1t was
spoken of as growing ten or twelve miles
away from any other plant Criminals
condemned to die we're given the choice
of suffering the penalty or gathering
some Of the poison from the tree, and
only about two in twenty survived the
expedition. OF the land where the tree
grew it was said, "There are no fish in
the waters, nor has any rat, mouse or
other vermin been seen there, and when
any birds fly SO near this tree that the
effluyia reach them, they fall victims to
this poison. Also, in less than two
months only 800 persons remained out
of 1000 who were compelled to live
within few miles Of this tree"
The tree is bad enough, but less Of q
criminal than writer's would have us be-
lieve. 1t is variety of spurge (Antiorte
toricGria), which, when wounded, ex-
udes poisonous milky juice. 1t grows
in company with other trees, without
harming them, and has been cultivated
in botanic gardens. Birds and lizards
have often been seen to perch upon itf
branches. The juice is very irritating
and produces kind of paralysis if intro
duced into the system. When mixed
with certain other poisons it forms tbs
upas, which in Malay language signifies
poison, or, specifically, arrow poison
Strange to say, this poisonous plant be
longs to the same family as the famou
bread-fruit tree, which furnishes sucl
excellent food for man.

The very basis Of the healthful prog
ress Of any nation or country is the
practice Of some mechanical industry by
the majority Of the men. A certain pro-
portion may earn living in CONNER
cial pursuits or in the professions, and
some may procure living as saloon
keepers, bar tenders, loafers and tramps.
But very few can be supported in idle
ness or in vice without laying weary
burden upon the industrious classes. OF
late years q serious social danger is
threatened by the action of the various
trades unions in refusing to admit boys
into shops as apprentices. Some years
ago there was class Of apprentices in
every large shop or factory, and in time
these boys became skillful workmen
Now the supply Of such artisans is cut
off at the very source, and the conse-
quence must be--and is, for we are all
discovering it in the most palpable man
ner-inferior materials and workman
ship in nearly every tool and machine
that is purchased. "The farmer paye
for ALL" not only for inferior work o.
unframed artisans, but for the support
Of idle boys and the vicious, dangerous
men that idle youths must invariably
become in time.
Fortunately there is one industry intc
which every boy will be welcomed
There is scarcely farmer in the lant
who is not prepared and ready, nay
eager, to accept the services of an ap
prentice for such remuneration as hi
labor may deserve. Board, clothes ant
a little spending money he is ready t
give, and, in addition, to teach him tn
practice Of his art, which is certainly a
intricate as saving wood or hammerini
iron. There are no trades unions O.
the farm. The farms will receive all tn
bows that workshops refuse, and th
bows will have no cause in the end
regret the ill-nature and selishness this
drove them there.-Rurdt NetO Nlrke;

destination an old bear made his appear

them, and finally attacked the older girl.

PRoF. THURsToN, testing pieces Of the
wire cable of the Fairmount suspension
bridge, recently taken down at Phila-
delphia, after being in use about forty
years, found the iron to be fully equal
in tenacity, elasticity and ductility to
the best wire of the same size found in
the market. This fact, and similar re-
suits obtained by another experimenter
in 1873, led him to the important conclu-
sion that iron subjected 10 the ordinary
strains of properly designed bridges does
not deteriorate with age.

A STRANGE story Of the hardships Of
Russian captivity is related by Ger
man engineer named Neumeyer. He
was busily engaged in experimenting
the construction Of new railway in the
South Of Russia, when he saw himself
suddenly surrounded by body OF police
ansI made prisoner. On being shown q
photograph portrait, he innocently ex-
claimed "Where have you got this
picture from? ] have never had my
likeness taken" This extraordinary re-
semblance Of his to Louis Hartmann, or
rather Wolkoff (the alleged author of the
Moscow attempt on the Emperor's life),
and scar on his right hand, brought
poor Neumeyer into serious predica-
ment. He was put in chains, taken tc
Moscow, submitted to wearisome In
yestigation, then dragged across the
country on foot to Warsaw, with nj
nourishment other than bread, cabbag'
and spoiled fish on journey Of forty
four days. After spending about sil
weeks more in prison on bread an'
water, surrounded by low set Of crimi
mails awaiting their transportation to 81
IBERIA. he succeeded in forwarding let
ter to the Governor General Of Polade
whose brother had formerly employee
Neumeyer on his estates in Esthonia
Thanks to Count Kotzebue's intercet
sion. Count Loris Melikoff allowed tn
poor victim TO return to Germany in
penniless condition, covered with vel
min, and wearing the same clothes
which he had been seized, and whic
had never been washed.

INgTSIBLE FIRES.

An English gentleman discovered that
the fame Of electricity as curative
power had penetrated Persia.
While tarrying at Shiraz, on business
connected with the overland telegraph,
be was visited by Persian noble. HAY
ing received a paralytic stroke IN his
left shoulder and arm, the nobleman
came to inquire il the Englishman's in
visible fire. electricity would not cure
him.
He had heard that there we're magl-
clans in England who cured all diseases
by the aid Of this fire. The English
man, having moderated the Persian's
expectations by remarlSing that the
statement was an exaggeration, accom-
panied him to the Office Of The telegraph.
A powerful battery had just been pre-
pared, and the officer in charge readily
consented to operate on the parnlyzed
arm. TO the two poles Of the battery q
copper wire was attached, and at the ex-
tremity Of each wire damped sponge.
The Persian was instructed to tightly
grasp one Of the sponges in his paralyzed
arm. Timidly complying, he was as
tonished to feel no sensation.
"Wait moment, said the English
man, clapping the other sponge on the
mans shoulder. With o leap and yell
he bounded out Of the room, amid the
uproarious laughter Of the officials.
All Shiraz was excited, the next day,
at the shock the nobleman had received
Though it effected partial cure, the
frightened man refused to submit to {
second application Of the "invisiblt
fire." One shock was sufficient, for hi
declared all the stars Of the heavens
were visible to him in that awful mo
ment.
He would visit the telegraph ofiic,
and look with awe at the fire /" ma
chimes Mournfully shaking his head
he would depart without uttering
, word.
Another Persian, whose curiosity con
quered his fear, while examining th
telegraph, touched one of the terminal
/ Of the machine. As he felt no senss
ton, he laid his hand on the othe
terminal. A sudden yell and bacl
ward Jump were the result.
. The man told his companions, in a
awe-struck tone, that he had been bi
i ten by the genii Of the machine. III
Englishman attempted to explain Il
! operation, but his words did not distur
e in the least the Persian's credulity.
