Not very long ago a portion Of hard
dry skin was found underneath the em-
bossed head of a huge iron nail that
was fixed into the door Of the Chapter
House, at Westminster. Upon this
skin were found several hairs. Mr..
Quekett, Curator of the Museum Of the
College Of Surgeons, recognized tho
hair to be human, and asserted that it
belonged to . fair-haired person In
former times the Danes used to come
up the mouths Of the English rivers to
pillage the churches. When they were
caught they were skinned, and their
skins nailed to the door Of the church
they attacked. In the course Of time.
all the exposed portion would peel of;
that covered by the nail would remain

Fscts About Sugar.

Nowadays especially in London. says
an English paper, people have . great
fancy for Demarara sugar, which they
~innocently suppose comes from the
country Of that name. Most OF it no
doubt does como either from Demarara
Of some neighboring part. but there is
q variety of "Demarara' about which
we have secrets to tell. That Is called
s.Whitechapel ,Demarara," because in
that delightful neighborhood it takes
Its birth. We do not mean that it has
grown there, for it comes originally
from the continent, ia the form OF white
ssFrench crystals made from beet-root.
But sugar refiners have found out tho
public mind. and they know that people
have a prejudice against be~et-root, and
like to think they are eating produce OF
the sweet Juicy cane. And 50 they turn
the white-rather dirty white-beet

upon the floor; and then they pour up

Tbs Philosophy of Thunder.

Professor TAFT, the most eminent scien-
titic authority on the subject, thus ex-
plains the noise made by thunder: The
origin Of the sound is, in all cases, to
be looked for in the instantaneous and
violent dilation of the air along the
track of the lightning flash, partly, no
doubt. due to the disruptive effects Of
electricity of which l have already spo-
ken, but mainly due to the excessive
rise Of temperature which renders the
air for . moment SO brilliantly incan-
descent. There is hui an extremely
sudden compression of the air all round
the track Of the spark, and = less sud-
den, but still rapid, rush Of the air all
into the partial cur which 1t pro-
duces. Thus the sound-wave pro-
duced must at first be of the nature Of .
bore or breaker. But as such . state
Of motion is unstable. after proceeding
q moderate distance the sound becomes
analogous to other loud but less violent
sounds, such IS those Of the discharges
Of guns. Were there few clouds, wers
the air of nearly uniform density, and
the flash o short one. this would com
pletely describe the phenomenon, anc

A Telescope Story.

The San Francisco Call tells an ex-
traordinary story respecting a monster
telescope made by Professor Lefeyre
and Lon1tour, French scientists. and
erected at San Francisco The lenses
are twenty feet in diameter. and this is
what happened when the astronomers
and their friends turned the instrument
to the heavens: an. Dufrere was the
first TO apply his eye TO the eye-piece of
the telescope. For fully five minutes
he looked on in ~speechless amazement,
then, without a word. turned away to
hide his emotion. One by one gentle-
men present tested the telescope, exhib-
iting their establishment in various
ways. The planet which happened to
cast its beams upon the great speculum
was Mars. and the revelation is too
wonderful for credit. The eye-piece Of
the lowest magnifying power was first
placed on, when the planet presented q
most astounding sight. The powerful
lens brought the surface of the planet
nearer than that of the moon has ever
been brought by the most powerful tel
cscope. The green of the sea was
brought out in unmistakable color. and
one could almost imagine that he could
see tho waves upon the surface. There
before the eye was spread out a splen-
did panorama of hin and dale. dark
patches that must be covered by forests.
great yellowish patches that looked like
autumn fields. silvery threads that must
be rivers, and several unmistakable
volcanoes in action

stepped into a grocery store at North

ing = pair Of boots, which he laid down
for . moment. Near by were several
Holsters, which had been done up for o
lady from q neighboring village, max
ing q package similar in size to the
other. By some chance the owners ex-
changed bundles, and the gentleman
after having nearly reached home found
his boots suspiciously moist and
took them back to the store. But the
lady went home, placed the supposed
Holsters on ice in order to keep them
in good condition for dinner, and did
not discover tho mistake until just be-

From the inquiries conducted by Pro-
lessor Herman Cohn. of Breslau, since
1865, it appears that short-sightedness
is rarely or never born with those sub
ject to it, and is always the result Of
strains sustained by the eye during
study in early youth. Myopia, as it is
called, is seldom found among pupils
Of village schools, and its frequency
increases in proportion to the demand
made upon the eye in higher schools
and in colleges. A better construction
of school desks, an improved typogra-
ply Of textbooks, and o sufficient
lighting Of class-rooms, r the reme-
dies proposed to abate this malady.

The American Agricultural Associa-
ton publishes a journal, the last num-
Der of which contains an article from
Professor G. v. Riley, on agricultural
schools, of interest to farmers and agri-
cultural school trustees. Great Britain
has three agricultural schools, an Eng
lish, Irish and Scotch, each self-support-
ing and costing not more than $4,000
each a year; each is intended to train
three classes of agricultural laborers-
gardeners, small tenants and large farm
ers. Prussia spends two or three million
dollars annually upon the State forests
and farms. The farms of the State are
rented to practical farmers, who are
bound by their leases to take pupils in
agriculture and to keep blooded stock
for improving the breeds of the sur
rounding community, and TO introduce
such machinery on trial as is recon-
mended by the agricultural Minister OF
the Crown. No seeds are distributed
free, except in time of scarcity, but rail
roads have to carry free articles for
exhibition at agricultural fairs. The
highways are lined with fruit or other
trees, and the government supervision OF
forests is strict Prof. Riley thinks our
Commissioner of Agriculture needs
national board of agriculture as advisers
to superintend his plans and expendi-
lures, else he ought to be taken into the
Cabinet. Prof. Riley thinks he is too
autocratic aud has too much response

Wnn't COalesce.

It becomes more evident every day
that the Republicans of Virginia will
not coalesse with the Readjusters. The
Valley Virginidn, leading Republican
paper of the State, says ''there is but
one party that can or will represent the
Republican side, and that is the regular
Republican party, standing on Repub-
lican platform, and fighting for Repub-
lican integrity" That paper takes
Northern Republican journals and lead
ers severely TO task for the support and
countenance they arc giving the Read
iusters, and warns them that they are
driving a wedge into the Republican
party of the nation that will split it to
pieces" The Readjusters have made
coalition possible only by the complete
surrender of the Republican party to the
former. The main purpose of the Re-
adjusters in holding their convention SO
early was to demoralize the Republican
party; to work its disorganization by
coaxing Republican voters TO the sup
port of he Readjuster ticket. Senator
Malone boldly declared that he did not
want the Republican leaders; he only
wanted the rank and fle-the voters.
The T5rginian warns Northern journals
and politicians that in supporting the
Readjusters in this canvass they arc lay
ing the foundation of future trouble in
the Northern States, when Republicans
who now endorse the Malone party will
be held responsible for its declarations
in favor of the reputation of State
obligations.

Thirty Million Dollars to be Paid
Out of the Treasury.

There are about SIG. O00, 900 per cent
bonds-series of 1861 S-outstanding,
which mature on June 80. These bonds,
together with the half-yearly interest,
amounting to about 100000, will be
paid about July 1, or, possibly, their re-
demption may be anticipated afew days.
The quarterly interest on the 4 per cents.
of 1907 will be paid about July 1. The
checks for the payment are nov being
prepared by the Treasurer. This loan
aggregates $7Ss, 900, 900 in rou4d num-
bers, and the amount of interest to be
paid will be about S7,360,00O. There
yet remains to be paid out of the Treas
ury about $5,0OO,OOO interest on the 5
and 6 per cent. bonds which have been
continued at 81 per cent. The "Oregon
war debt" amounting to $68S, 900, is
also payable July l. which makes total
of about $50, 900, 900 to be paid out of
the Treasury about July 1. 1t is not
probable that the interest on the out
standing As will be anticipated, as there
is no apparent necessity for it.

Colored Cadet Whittaker's friends do
not propose, in the now reasonably
assured case Of a verdict against him by
the court martial, to cease their efforts
in behalf of his return to the West Point
Academy. The power of revision of
the verdict residing in the President,
they will endeavor to obtain a reversal
from him. Their devotion to Whitta-
ker's interests exceeds their discretion.
The verdict of guilty is supported by
public opinion as well as the preponde-
rance of probabilities and evidence, and
only those who anticipate personal po-
litical profit from championing Whitta-
ker's case are likely to hold the opposite
view. To this charge the President will
hesitate to subject himself, particularly
as he claims to have already extended
ample recognition to the colored race in
the Bruce and Douglass appointments.

Ex.senator Thurman DECLINES.

In letter dated Paris, France, May
90. and addressed to his SON, ex Senator
Allen G.. Thurman positively declines to
permit the use of his name for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor of Ohio.
Mr.. Thurman says when he left the
Senate he made up his mind that he
would 'sreturn to private life for good
and ever" and that he still remains of
that mind. The veteran ex-senator
ADDS that his private affairs, too long
neglected, need all his attention, besides
he has arrived at that age when man
ought to quit holding Office. and more
over that he has had his full share Of
honors. He adds: LET the younger
men come to the front. / would not
have accepted the appointment l now
hold but for my desire to see Europe,
and the fact that it would be of short dura-
ton. I shall always take deep interest
in politics, and do my best for the sue
cess of the Democratic party But do
not want Office. If the Democratic
party act wisely, we shall carry every
doubtful State next fall" There are
many men in both parties who will re-
greet Mr.. Thurman's permanent with
drawal from public life. For many
years he led the Democratic party in the
Senate with a skill and ability which
marked him as one of the giants of that
body, whilst his conservatism in debate
made him an especial favorite with the
leading Senators on the Republican side.
