THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute Justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-
tors:

Changing the Color Of Flowers.

The natural color of flowers may be
altered according to C. Puscher, by
exposing them TO the diluted fumes
Of ammonia. Most of the blue, violet,
and light crimson flowers turn to q
splendid bright green. Dark crimson
(. clove pinks turn black, other dark red
flowers turn dark violet. all white
- flowers turn sulphur yellow. This
change OF color is especially beautiful
when the flowers are variegated or the
single petals possess a different color.
= As soon rs the new color is fully de-
veloped, the flowers must be dipped
at once into cold water, when they
will keep their new shade from two to
six hours ) by degrees then their nat
urif color returns. If flowers be ex-
posed to the vspors of ammonia for
one or two hours they turn q dirty
chamois, which is permanent. Blue,
violet, and red asters are dyed or turn
, ID intense re-, when they are exposed
to the fumes Of muriatic acid gas; it
takes from two to four hours or more be-
ID. .fore the shade is fully developed. The
flowers are then removed to dark, cool

The report OF the committee on sites
for the Worlds Fair in 1883 to be he Id
in New York says: '"The site we pro-
pose is little north Of the Central
Park, and may be called the Washing
ton Heights site, although portion
of the grounds lie eastward of the
Heights, and, more properly, in the
Harlem district. Several wide streets
and avenues run through the district
proposed. The tract gives ut least
three hundred and twenty-fiv acres
available for the purpose of the exhi-
bition. The picturesque beauty of the
proposed site challenges comparison.
1t is capable of landscape adOrnlnent
and arrangement. A portion of it was
nearly century ago laid out as
country residence by Alexander Ham,

and attractive features OF q gentle

in favor Of this site is its accessibility
and means OF distributing great num-
bers. 1t is reached by two elevated
railroads aud by horse cars from every
part of the city. Other points in its
favor are its healthfulness, comfort,

This season new branch of indus
try has been started by fishermen
along the Chesapeake. They have
taken to breeding soft crabs for the
market, and thus far it has been very
profitable business, since there is no
outlay except the labor G one Or two
nien at each place where it is carried
on. Tie plan is to catch as many crabs
rs possible, take them up small inlet
or bay and deposit them behind wires,
where they can have the freedom of
the water and plenty TO eat. BY care
fully watching them, an experienced
man is able to tell as soon as hard
crab sheds his shell and becomes soft.
AS soon as he does he is taken out and
brought To market. As every hard
crab must sooner or later become a
soft-shcll crab, there is no lost mate
rial. Having become a ''soft," the
crab remains so three days, though, as
a rule, he is marketed and eaten before
that time. The plan of getting soft
crabs for market has heretofore been
to watch for them along shore, SO that
under the new plan there is no reason
why soft crabs should be quoted high.

Bodily Heat,

1t is remarkable fact that the lcmpera-
turc of the body i'll health is always the
same in summer and winter, in the arctic
zone and in the torrid. This seems the
more remarkable iii view of the fact that
the body is just Us subject TO the great law
of radiation as every other heated object.
1t throws off more slowly In warm tenn
perature and more rapidly in cold, but it
always radiatcs heat. The normal temper
aturc of the body is slightly above ninety
eight +. A few degrees above indicates
consuming fever, few below, depressed
condition that tends to collapse and death.
EXPOSE the living, healthy body and red
hot mass of equal size to the. same freezing
temperature Ill n long ride, and at the end
OF it the latter will be ice-cold, while the
temperature Of the body will stand precis-
ly as at the start. The explanation is, that
the body is self heating. The heat is con-
stantly radiatcd, but it is as constantly gen
Grated, and what is still more striking, the
healthy body so regulates its temperature
that in cold climates 1t ever keeps the heat
up to the standard, and in. warm climates
it keeps down the excess. In the first case
the consumption OF the internal fucl-or
foods more rapid, and the appetite is
kccncr to supply the demand, and the di-
gcstion is more vigorous. In the second
case, in warm climates, the consumption
of fucl-or foods much slower, and the
appetite Graves food that has less of the
Matchmaking properties. Further, if the
heat tends to increase beyond the standard,
the body at onco covers itself with water
(sweat) the evaporation of which carries
off the dangerous excess. Heat in fur
mace is caused by the union Of the oxygen
of the air with the carbon Of the coal. So
heat is generated in the lungs by tho union
of the oxygen of the inbreathcd air with
the carbon of the impure blood. But this
Is not the only source. Similar heat gen
Grating changes take place at every point
in the whole body, as new particles dis
place the old. A person who eats good
food has good digestion, and good health
gcneaally, if properly clothed, will rarely
suffer from even the severe cold of our
Northern winters.
