Committing Arson for Love.

A curious case recently came before
Ihe court at Versailles, in France. Dur
ng many weeks the newspapers t
Paris gave information of repeated
Tres in the commune of Auvers. They
were evidently the work of incendiaries,
and the police were set diligently to
work to find the criminals. Their
search resulted finally in the arrest of a
young girl of sixteen, Clemence Bios
iier, a sewing girl OF Auvers.
The motive which led her to this wan
ton destruction of pronerty is one that
every one will recognize as particularly
lnfAmmable one-love. 1t seems that
this girl of sixteen was madly in love
with a youth of her own age named Al
bert Romarn, a laborer in neighboring
village. The girls parents had forbid
den her to see her lover, and the two
had great difficulty even in managing
Glandestine correspondence. Itwas this
obstruction to the course of love that
gave The girl the extraordinary idea OF
setting fire to farm houses and haystacks.
The alarm was given, bells rang. neigh.
boIs ran TO the scene. Albert Romaru
ran too, met the young girlin the thronl
and fed away with her to neighborinl
forest, where they passed hours together
while fire worked its ravages. Six
times in six weeks the lovers fed to the
little woods, and the farmers of the
commune paid for lighting their love
making sum of 10000 francs. But
finally, one fine night, just as Clemencc
was thrusting lighted matches into the
haystack of one of the neighbors, a
strong hand was laid upon her shoulder,
and she was led away prisoner. She
confessed all Immediately, and has been
condemned to ten Years hard labor.

for the superhuman efforts of Allen
Trevor, who, bearing each man in his
strong arms TO where the rope was
waiting, proposed TO fasten 1t 10 their
bodies, and so they would be rescued.
l cannot tell you in detail of that
heroic deed. One after another of the
miners was brought to the surface,
some bruised and bleeding, and some
dying. All were received by our party,
and kindly and tenderly ministered to.
At last there came n moment-if
Nellie should live TO see the next CEN
tennial she will never forget that mo-
ment-when the last man was safely
landed, and the rope came up alone. At
that instant low, rumbiing sound was
piainlv audible; Nellie bowed her hea /
"Oh, my God, what shall doP" she
walled, then, with sudden desperation,
she sprang forward. Lower the rope
once more!" she cried. In her heart
she had determined "if he does not
come up this time, l shall go down
there myself. At least we can die to-
0eiher."
With deferentlal glances at the Young
girl, the men obeyed her mandate,
while the others stood near, awed and
lent.
Sin ing upon her knees, Nellie waited
In awful suspens for that which was
to come. The rope descended; it
dangled loosely for time, then there
came feeble pull. With loud cheers
of encouragement, the men above drew
1t slowly upward. Oh, the agony to
the waiting heart, which now for the
first time was unvailed, foy Nellie knew,
beyond doubling, that she loved Allen
Trevor.
At last-at last-the end of the rope,
and fastened to it, pallid and nearly life.
less, the form OF the brave man who
had so nobly risked his life. Risked it
in behalf of the rough and uncouth
men, who, as the death-white face OF
their preserver appeared above the awful
chasm, rushed forward, and wounded
and bleeding as they were, lifted him in
their arms, and bore him away triumph
ant. They would not lose sight of him.
They hovered around and waited for
his eyes to open, that they might grasp
his hands, and pour forth their wild and
incoherent gratitude.
Last of all came a white-faced girl,
agitated and worn with suffering. She
knelt by the side of the brave man, and
laid both her hands in his. And so
Nellie found her hero after all.

Electricity in Flour Making.

In olden times it was nothing like
leather" Now it seems to be nothing
like electricity. Electricity is rapidly

it has been asked to do is to prepare our
bread for us. In most colleges there is
an experiment done before the stu

tions of electricity. A couple Of
books are laid on the table foot OF
so apart. They are to support pane OF
glass two or three inches from the table.
On the table, under the glass, is
sprinkled some bran. The glass is
heated, and on being rubbed vigor-
ously on the upper side with piece Oh
flannel the bran dances up and down on
the table, the lighter particles adhering
to the electrified glass. Perhaps it was
this experiment that induced Yale
junior to think of making electricity do
the work of middlings purifier in flour
mill. Instead of the bran being sep
arated from the middlings and fine flour
by an air blast, electricity is employed.
The boiling cloth is Of wire, and over it
are several hard rubber cylinders which
revolve slowly. AS they revOlve they
rub against pieces of sheepskin and gen.
crate electricity. The bolting cloth
has q ,vibratory motion which causes the
bran t. work to the top of the mass OF
ground wheat as it flows over the cloth.
The rubber rollers attract the bran.
When a sufficient quality of the bran
has been attracted it falls off the rollers
into receiving troughs, and is carried
away. The bolted nours pours out
from another part of the machine, and

new process there is no dust raised, and
when the terrific explosion of milling
dust at the Washburn mills, in Mime
apolis, few months ago, is remem-
bered, this will be seen to be no small
advantage. The invention is now being

A Successful Female Detective.

about thirty-two years old, tall and

she succeeded in getting the clincher'

Two Gallant Girls.

Mary Belle 10y, daughter Of Robert

Kansas, discovered Il full-grown vol
of the cayote species, and an uncom'
monty large one, stealthily approachira
her flther's flock few days since, when
she put her horse to his speed, and
finally run down the cayote. She un'
buckled her bride rein, and with the
ring at the end, and this only, made
good her position MS mistress OF the
situation. and without alighting from
the saddle, she had soon disabled hel
Toe. Then she started out for the near
est neighbor to the battle-ground, two
miles distant, for assistance, but found
no one at home who could asst t her
save another girl, who mounted an
other pony and, armed with only dull
knife, these two young girls were soor
galoping over the prairie to save thC
scalp, Tor which the county pays 4

officer. When they returned the cayotC
was moving off. At this juncture he
was again invited to remain, while one
pirl threw him down and the other pro
ceeded to administer Western justice by
searching for his jugular vein with the
knife. Such instances of feminine
bravery are extremely rare, even Oh
the frontier, and when young girl per
