A Curious Little Animal.

Professor Cope's right-hand man, J..
A. Ryder, in a ramble through the park
the other day discovered a curious lit
tie thousand d-legs-like animal, with
twelve pairs of feet, which he finds to
possess some extraordinary features
hitherto overlooked. Professor Gervais,
of France; George Newport, of Lon.
don, and Professor Wood believed the
animal to belong to the tribe of the
thousand legs, or myriapods, a reference
to which, according to Philadelphia
naturalist, is an error. The animal is,
sect, but stands midway between them.
With the body and general appearance
Of the first it has the legs, feet and head
of the latter, and, to complicate mat
ters sIill more, it has peculiarities which
relate it with worms, spiders, mites, and
a peculiar animal called peripatus, found
in New Zealand and Africa. II also bears
strong affinity to the so-called bris.
tie and spring tails. 1t lives in loose
dirt, under leaves, and is about one
eighth of an inch long, with body
about as thick as sewing thread, of a
white color. From the extraordinary
combination of features presented by
this singular little animal, Mr.. Ryder
thinks he will consider it type of q
new order, under the appropriate name
of Symphyla, meaning that the features
of number of races or families have
been blended together. This discovery
is one of the most important in relation
| to the manner of evolution of the in
sects which has been made for many
wears, and was almost the result OF ar
accident. Hs has also described new
species from the park, this being the
third one known.

Lightning as a Photographer.
Charlottesville (va.) Chronicle.I

We have heretofore published an ac-
count of portrait supposed to have
been photographed by lightning on a
pane of glass in the window of an old
farmhouse in this county. Another in
stance of the same curious phenomenon
has been found in the window of the
Mansion House on the I" Mount Eagle +"
farm, more generally known as the
"Gentry place." The portraits of four
persons are plainly discernible-two
men, woman, and child. The faces
are not all on one pane, that of one of
the men and the woman being on adioiu-
ing glasses, the face of the other man on
another, and that OF the child on one of
the lower panes, and the theory is that
the party were all looking through the
window during a thunder storm, when a
sudden fash of lightning, by some
mysterious process, instantaneGusly fixed
their features on the glass. The existence
of the portraitures are of comparatively
recent discovery, and have attracted
many visitors.

One Girps Deeds.

An indulgent uptown father recently
determined to present his only daughter
"a beautiful maid of eighteen--with a
couple of practical proofs of his affec-
ton in the shape of two valuable build
ing lots. He had the deeds prepared,
an evening or tws ago; during the abs
sence of his child at party, he crept
up to her room and laid the valuable
documents on her bureau, intending
they should prove an interesting sur,
prise. for the young lady in the morn
ing. 1t was a late hour when the
maiden reached her room, and, without
turning out the gas, speedily made her
retiring arrangements. As she stood
before the bureau it occurred to her to
put her hair up in Iapers, as an aid to
her toilet for a dinner party on the
coming day. Her hands fell upon the
deeds, and, without moments exami-
nation, she Immediately converted them
into slender strips, and soon had her
raven tresses ornamented with the usual
spiral knobs. The next morning, with
out removing the papers, she went down
to breakfast. and found her father await
ing her with a peculiarly happy smile
on his benevolent countenance. His
face drew down. however, when his
daughter gave him the usual morning
solicitation, and seated herself at the
table. He fdgeted about for moment
or two, and then, with ll-concealed
anxiety, inquired: "Heml Laura,
didn't you get your deeds% The
maiden looked up in surprise. " Deeds,
father, what deedsP" The old gentle
man looked blank. "Why, lhe deeds /
gave you last niaht, child" There was
an awful look of astonishment in the
girls eyes. "The deeds you gave me,
fatherl Where are theyP' And then
a sadden recollection crossed her. mind,
and, with frightened movement, her
hand sought her curl papers. The old
gentleman noticed her confusion, and
instantly his gaze struck in the same
direction-and there, twined with his
daughters tresses, he saw strips and
strips of "legal cap" with here and
there a tell-tale bit of red sealingwax.
"Thy deedsp he groaned, 'sthy deeds
be on thy headp The beautiful girl
did not faint; she just begged her
parents forgiveness for her carelessness,
and the old gentleman felt 80 elated over
his happy witicism that he not only
forgave her, but duplicated the docu.
ments the, very same day.

IT is said that VIM. 81. Vanderbilt
will sell out his remaining stock in rail-
roads, put the proceeds into Govern
ment bonds and try to live on the in
terest, relinquishing all other business.
He has now $50, ,00O,00 in Government
bonds, and will have more. Mr.. Van
derbilt may be good business man, but
this investment does not show it. He
ought to invest his money in different
kinds of bonds. Suppose the Govern
ment should bust, he might lose every
thing and have to go to braking on the
railroad.

And changing as the Mediterranean water;
We walked together by an emerald bay.
So deep so green, so promontory.hiddcn
That the lost mariner might peer iu vain
Through storms, to find where he erewhlle had

Saro-sheltered from the wild and windy main.
Down the high stairs we cgmhered just to rest
Cool moment in the churchs antique shade
How gay IN" alslos and affairs! twas the fiesta
or brave saint George who the old dragon laid
How bright the little port! The red flags futtered,
Loud cllnged the bells, and loud the chlldren's
glee;
What though some distant, unseen storm.cloud
muttered
And waves braathed big along the weedy quay.
We climbed the hill whose rising cleaves asunder
Green bay and blue immeasurable sea-
We heard the breakers at its bases thunder;
We heard the chanting priests harsh minstrelsy
Then through the grayeyard's straight and mar

our journey led. now dark the place! How

spirit con.d thus be stayed its skyward range!
beyond, the smoky olives clothed the mountains
In green That rev in many a moonlight night.
Below, through cleft and chasm leaped snowey

Above the sky was warm, and blue and bright.

Burst forth the rain, quick as a trumpet. Glare:
Yet stlll the italian sun each drop did eaven
And turned the rlln to diamonds In the air.

HOW CELLrLOID IL MADE.

The lriehtlul explosion of the celluloid
works at Newark, New Jersey, and loss Of
lie recently has caused many people to in
quire how celuloid is made and for what pur-
pose it is us,d Dr. W, II. Wahl tells in
the Jouraai Of Imdut,y what celluloid is and
how it is made. Briefly defined, celuloid, he
says, is species Of soidifed collodlon, pro.
duced hydjs,olviug gun-cotton (pyroxylin) in
camphor with the aid of heat and pressure.
The guu-cottou is ground in water to fine
pulp in u machine similar to that used in
grinding paper pulp The pulp is then sub.
iectcd to powerful pressure in a perforated
vessel to extact the bulk Of the moisture,
but still lel,ing it slightly moist for the next
operation This consist, in thoroughly in
cooperating finely comminuted gum camphor
with the moist gun cotton pulp. The pro-
portion, employed are said to be one part
by weight Of camphor to two parts by weight
of the pulp. " ith this mixture any color
ing mattcr. required can now be Incorporate
ed The next step is to subject the mass
to powerful pressure in order to expel from
it the remaining traces Of moisture and in
cdenaly to effect also the more intimate
contact Of the camphor with the pulp. The
dried and compressed mass is next placed in
mould, open at the top into which fits q
so ID plungcr \ heavy hydraulic pressure is
brought to bear upon the plunger, aud at the
same time the mixture is heated by means
of steam jacket surrounding the vessel to
a temperature of about 30Oo Fahrenheit
When tie mass is taken out Of the press
it hardeus, aud acquires the ordinary tough
ness anl elasticity which are the disti.-
gushing characteristics of this remarkable
product. Celluloid is very largely used as
substitute for ivory, which is initiated with
great success. Tortoise shell, malachite,
mother of pearl, coral, and other costly and
elegant materials, are also so successfully
Initiated that an expert can hardly detect
the original from the copy. Ceuloid is also
used as substitute for porcelain in the
manufacture Of dolls, which will stand good
deal Of rough usage without breaking. Quite
recently, too, it has been combined with linen,
aud used for shirt bosoms, cuffs and collars.
