PenZance,

Hundreds know all about the Pirates
of Penzance for one who can tell what
and where Penzance is. And yet it is a
very realistic, fesh-and-blood town, al
most at the extremity of Cornwall, in
England, down near Lands End. All
that country is rich ground for the tour
ist, but it is rarely visited. The coast
is bordered by huge cliffs, full of "caves
and holes in the rocks" and the region
abounds in legends running way back
to the times of the Phenicians. A good
many centuries after the Eastern adven-
turers gathered tin there, in 1895, to be
precise, Penzance was burned by the
Spanish invaders, and fifty years further
on it was taken by the Puritans, who
won no credit by the brutal way in
which they used their victory. The
town is further famous as the birthplace
of Admiral Lord Exmouth, in the last
century, and Sir Humphrey Davy, the
famous inventor of the safety lamp and
of other useful contrivances, was born
there also. In giving him to the world
the place laid claim to perpetual re-
membrance. The Penzance boys hold
Davy's name in honor, for he gave the
grammar school f100, to offset which
the condition was attached that the pu-
pills should have his birthday anniver-
sary for holiday forever.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Electric power is now used in Ger
many to deliver coal at the entrance OF
mines.
DIR. Scondorff's safety lamp for coll
lieries is attracting attention. The lamp
can only be opened with the help of
strong magnet.
Sir William Armstrong, at Craig
side, near Newcastle, England, has util-
lied brook to run dynamo-electro
machine by means of o turbine water
wheel, and so manages to secure cleo
tricity enough to keep 81 Swan lamps in
a state OF incandescence in his house. In
this case the motive power costs moth
ing, and electric lighting in this way is
an exceptional luxury.
When the rapid increase of the
earth's motion was observed, the idea
was advanced that the moons orbit was
growing shorter and would end by
coming down upon us. But more recent
calculation shows that instead of the
moon coming nearer our day is growing
longer, owing to the friction of the tides
upon the earth's surface, by which the
speed Of the earth's rotation is slowly
diminished.
The English have admitted the sue
cess of the electric light. Lamp-posts
have been erected in Bristol. The Lam
cashire and Yorkshire Railway Compa-
ny illuminate their station platforms
with it and regard it cheaper than gas.
Alnwick Castle, the seat of the Duke of
Northumberland, has also been illumin-
ated. The library, very large apart
ment, is lighted by three lamps, and the
effect is reported superior to any light
before used.
BY securing variety in temperature,
through planting oysters in different
depths of water, as practiced in Con-
necticut, the Scientific american says
oysters can be obtained in fit condi-
ton for the table every week in the year.
The greater the heat, the earlier the
oysters will spawn. Those in the deeper
and colder water feel the heat later and
spawn later. Some portion of the oyster
field, so to speak, will therefore be ready
for harvesting at all times.
Although considered mute, insects
have the power of producing sounds by
certain movements which, to some ex-
tent, are characteristic of the different
species. The shrill chirp of the cricket
is produced by the rubbing together of
the wing-cases. The harsh shrek of
the grasshopper is caused by friction of
the legs against the wings. The shrill
trumpet sound of the mosquito and the
busy hum of bees and flies result from
the rapid motion of the wings while fly
ing.
The composition of buckwheat has
been examined by M. G. Lechartier. He
states that the proportion of mineral
matter in the straw increases with tho
weight. The straw may indeed become
richer in phosphoric acid than the grain,
uInUIIug Si..S Av~---ri-t-ay 49, 49, -
the other cereals. The straw of crop
of buckwheat may contain more mineral
matter than does the grain. The sum
of the principal fertilizers removed
from the soil by an entire crop is much
more considerable than for a crop of
wheat containing the same quantity OF
grain.

A Monkeys Babies.

About six months ago an admiring
friend of Louis Seidler, the Southside
saloonist, presented him with pair of
Marmosette monkeys. They are strange
looking animals, and have always at
tracted attention. They are natives of
Brazil, and are q cross between mon
key and a squirrel, having the color and
fur of the latter and the face of the for
mer. In size they are between small
monkey and large squirrel. They are
very intelligent, and know Mr.. S. very
well. Sunday night the female gave
birth to two little ones, one of which
died, but the other is alive and healthy.
The mother cried bitterly for while
over the dead one, but soon reconciled
herself with the other. 1t is about the
size of mouse, and is the pet and pride
of the male. The female holds it and
suckles it as mother would babe,
but as soon as the little one is satisfied
the male takes it, and with a wonderful
expression of dignity, marches up and
down the cage in manner that causes
one to laugh in spite of himself.-W Wheel

Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1881-12-03

THE testimony offered by the
prosecution in the Guitcau case
was concluded on the DIST.
Guteau's demeanOr in court has been so
obstrepcrous as to call forth frequent remon-
strances from his counsel, and the Court
threatened TO remove him from the court
room unless he abstained from these exhibit
tions Of i'll temper, which many think are
assumed by the prisoner in order to carry
out more successfully the plea of insanity.
On account OF disagreement between SEQ
willie and Robinson as to the manner OF con-
Quoting the defense, the latter announced
his withdrawal from the case. ScOville
then entered upon an elaborate address
to the jury, occupying nearly two days
in its delivery. lie announced that
he should base his defense
upon the prisoners mental irresponsibility,
and he argued that the burden Of proof I'M
der these circumstances rested upon the
prosecution. His remarks were delivered
in a conversational manner, without any at
tempt at oratOry, and produced a very IA
Vorable impression on all who heard them.
DIR. Rico, a practicing physician of Minton,
Wis, testified on behalf OF the defense.
He examined the prisoner in 1876 and
came to the conclusion he was insane. His
insanity was emotional rather than intellec-
tual. lie told his friends that Guiteau ought
TO be secluded. Several other witnesses
