An Incident at q Hotel.

A SINGULAR affair happened at a
Petersburg (Va.) hotel the other day.
Two gentlemen, strangers to each other,
desired to be called at an early hour in
the morning that they might take an
express train for the North. At the APP
pointed hour the hotel messenger rap
ped at the door of the man from Wash
ington to arouse him. The occupant of
the room, taking the messenger for an
intruder, jumped from bed, dashed at
him with pitcher in hand, and chased
him from the room. Returning, the
gentleman by mistake entered the apart
ment of the New Yorker, who was
dressing, and whom he also took to be
an intruder. A contest of strength en-
sued, during which the pitcher was
broken to pieces and both men were
slightly injured. The New Yorker es-
capped from the room and called for
he p, while the man from Washington,
master of the situation, locked himself
inside. Help was soon obtained in the
person of some men in the hotel and one
or two police officers, and the man from
Washington was persuaded TO open the
door and go to his own room. He soon
after seemed to awaken as if from a
dream, appearing entirely ignorant of
what he had done. He apologized to
the New Yorker for his conduct, and
they went North together ON the train.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.


THE outside fiber OF the cocoanut is
now used for shoe heels, and is said to
be good substitute for leather.
DR.. MULLER, of Geneva, has made
calculation in which he estimates the
number Of plant species existing on the
globe to reach minimum total of 250,-
600.
AN English chemist was troubled
with an escape of gas, and on removing
large vinegar barrel he found that the
vinegar had leaked, and percolating
through the floor had eaten large hole
in the lead gas pipe.
The color-blind business is to be fol-
lowed up by something else. A learned
professor at Heidelberg has now pub
lished statistics "showing that engine
drivers on railways are peculiarly sub
ject to affections Of the ear which might
compromise the safety of travellers"
THE deepest artesian well in Caiifor-
MIA, near Stockton, has struck water at
976 feet, and flows 800, 900 gallons daily.
This gives hope that the higher lands
near the foothills, which are now only
useful for sheep pasture a few weeks
after the rainy season, will be redeemed
by deep borings.
AN important invention is announced
to have been made by Joseph Albert,
the Munich photographer. By combin-
ing the ordinary Photographic process
with that pertaining to peculiar print
ing press of his own invention, he is said
to have produced images of objects
with the finest shades of their natural
color.
A ST. LOUIS photographer has sue
cessfully used the electric light in print
ing photo-negatives. During holiday
week the sun was so obscured as to seri-
ously interfere with negative printing.
In this exigency the electric light was
resorted to and proved superior even to
the brightest of suns rays. So the ar
fist reports.
ACCORDING to DR.. Edward Smith, an
egg contains ID IL per cent. of carbon
and 2 per cent. of nitrogen. Another
writer estimates that the value of one
pound of eggs as food for sustaining the
active forces of the body, is to the
value of one pound of lean beef as 1854
to 900. As a flesh-producer, one pound
of eggs is about equal to one pound of
beef.
THAT scientific wonders will never
cease is again illustrated by the fact
that fre-proof houses can now be built
out of cotton and straw. In the first
instance the cotton used is the refuse OF
the plantations and factories. 1t is con-
verified into paste, which gets to be as
hard as stone, and is called architectural
cotton. 1t is made in large slabs.

Home POliteness.

A BOY who is polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to every
one else. A boy lacking politeness to
his parents may have the semblance of
courtesy in society, but is never truly
polite in spirit, and is in danger, as he
becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy. We are all in danger
of living too much for the outside world,
for the impression which we make in
society, coveting the good opinions Of
those who are in sense part of our
selves, and who will continue to sustain
and be interested in us, notwithstanding
these defects of department and charac-
ter. We say to every boy and to every
girl, cultivate the habits of courtesy and
propriety at home-in the sitting-room
and the kitchen, as well as in the'parlor,
and you will be sure in other places to
deport yourself in a becoming and at
tractive manner. When one has
pleasant smile and a graceful demeanor,
it is satisfaction to know that these are
not put on, but that they belong to the
character, and are manifest at all times
and under all circumstances. Standby

OCCURRENCES OF INTEREST,".
The TrcatIes WIth Chinn.

A WASHINGTON special of the 10th says:
"The Chinese treaties were sent to the Sem
ate to-day, and the documents were referred,
In Executive session, to the Committee on
Foreign Relations. The treaties relate to COM
merce and immigration.
"The Emperor of China agrees that the
Government Of the United States should ex-
ercise entire control oyer the immigration of
Chinese into this country, just as the Pekin
Government regulates the movement of for
eigners into their country. Whenever, in the
judgment of this Government, the immigra-
ton OF Chinese labor threatens to injufe the
interests of this country, we may restrict or
put stop TO 1t altogether. While the
Influx of Chinese is not prohibited in
terms, the same end is practically accom-
plished by allowing our Government to exer-
else its discretion in the premises, except in
case of those Nations of China who may come
here for other purposes than labor simply. In
other words VIC are ,npt5to interfere with the
going aud coming of Chinese subjects who
seek to invest capital, engage in commerce,
study or travel; to engage in the practice of
the learned professions, or scientific observa-
tion or investigation. The Chinese already here

THE Commerce ial treaty provides that
no ditferential or discriminating duties
shall be levied BY either country at their
ports to the disadvantage of the merchant ma
rine or commerce of the other, which is in
fact, in accordance with our statutes as at
present in force. 1t appears also that the
treaties do not profess TO impair, abolish or
annul the Burllngame treaty, but rather de-
fine and supplement it, and supply rcgula-
tons in certain particulars omitted in the
other document. The Commercial treaty
specifies that the Americans shall not import
opium into China an article by the way, that
we do not have to export, and in return for
this concession avery important consideration
is provided in the way of special relief from
duties on our manufactured cotton fabrics to
our great advantage over English goods"

The Explosive Water Pitcher.

Mr.. WILLIAM H. LEvERGooD, Principal Of
the Boys Secondary School, this city, had a
singular experience on Saturday morning
last, at his home in Wrightsville. He was
sitting with certain members of his family,
when loud report-as of the discharge of
a heavily-loaded gun-was heard in the
sleeping apartment occupied by his moth
er, and he rushed there to ascertain the
cause. Imagine his surprise to find that the
pitcher had exploded, and, with the bowl, had
been broken into fifty pieces by actual count,
some of the pieces having been hurled across
the room. The most singular part of the af.
fair was that the apartment was heated by q
register, and that the pitcher contained only
about pint of water, and that was not frozen.
Had the pitcher been filled with ice, the crack
ing Of 1t would not have been remarkable; but
there was no sucn cause, and the vessels were
not merely cracked, but seemed to have been
blown to pieces by an explosion -Ldncdste,

pens and pencils, Injuries of every sort,
and car fare, as well az their charity
fund, come from this allowance, and
they are learning the right use Of
money as they never could in any other
way. A boy who has scroll-saw may
earn little income for himself, if he is
industrious, in his play-time. So may
one who has printing-press. A girl
who has learned to embroider nicely,

have her own money; and let me tell
you, money that is earned by one's
own diligence is much more enjoyed
than any other.

A Poor-House Horror.

DOVER, y. H., January Z.
A DISASTER without parallel In this section
befell the Stratford County Poor-House, situ-
ated about four miles north of this city, at an
early hour this morning. whereby thirteen
paupers and lunatics lost their lives. At 4:3O
o'clock fire was discovered in the furnace
room OF the main building, three-story
ediiice of brick, in which lived one hundred
and sixty-fCur persons besides the physicians
and attendants. In some way the woodwork
near the furnace caught fire and burned
through one story before 1t was discovered. II
was then burning furiously, and in the absence
OF facilities for sluelching the flames there was
nothing to do but TO save the inmates, VINO
were Immediately in fearful state of excite
ment. Many of them were old, imbecile and
helpless, and the spectacle as they rushed
about the corridors in utter bewilderment,
or crouched stupidity in corners, absolutely
refusing to leave the building, was terrible In
the extreme. For some time the flames
seemed to have fas cination which induced
shem TO return after having once escaped.
Many of the children were saved by being
thrown from the windows into the arms OF
those below. One poor Irish woman, who has
been pauper four or five years, stood nearly
naked for three-quarters of an hour cutching
them in this way. Finally, after every effort
had been made the building was abandoned
and the flames had everything their own way.
There was no fire apparatus on the premises.
One engine from this city got within mile of
the place, but could go no further, and could
have done no good even if it had been sta
toned ut the farm, asthere was no water to
use. When the flames subsidized, it was found
that thirteen human lives were lost.
