Singular Result Of a Laughing Contest.

A number of young men, not conspicuous
for their superior intelligence. met in q private
apartment of a house on Spnlina avenue last
evening. Time hung heavy on their hands,
and the suggestion of one that they relieve the
oppressive ennui by laughing for the drinks
was hailed with enthusiasm The contest
commenced, and one of them continued to
laugh for half an hour when his face had
changed from red to n darker hue. Then his
friends became alarmed and implored him to
desist. This however, he could not do, and
his only response was a continuance of the
hoarse, spasmodic noise. He laughed rs If do
ing it by contract His forehead became lvid,
and the veins stood out distinct like whipcord.
The arteries in his neck dstended almost to
bursting; symptoms of apoplexy became APP
pareut, and it became evident that remedial
measures must be adopted, or he would die
laughing. One of the party ran to drug store
and procured draught, which was admins
tered to the irrepressibe cachinnator. The ef-
feet was salutary, and to-day f. does not feel
much the worse of his voluntary and danger

The Recent AurOral Display.

The magnificent auroral display OF
Sunday night, which was seen over a
large part of the continent, has scarcely
a parallel in the history of the Oldest in
habitant. Nearer the poles there is not
seldom a gorgeous display of auroral
grandeur; but in this climate one seldom
sees anything OF the kind which more
nearly resembles that of Sunday night
than the shadow resembles the object
that casts it. We certainly have not
had one so grand since the great fire.
The question was asked yesterday by
thousands 9 What is it?' Physicists
have found it difficult to define or ex-
plain. But they now generally agree
that the aurora is an electrical phenom-
enOn. That this is correct receives
positive proof from the disturbances in
the lines of telegraphic communication
during the display. In some cases the
wires actually worked without the aid
of the usual batteries, and even reversed
their action. The electricians state that
it was the greatest electrical storm eX-
perienced in many years, and the great
est ever known unaccompanied by other
storm. sod Hos. .t.. ..- N. ..t..
p Probably the most interesting point
in connection with the aurora is the
growing certiMde that it is closely
associated with the phenomena OF solar
eruption. The auroras are known to be
most frequent and most brilliant when
the SUMS surface is most violently
agitated; and it seems probable that the
storm on the sun causes the electrical
storm here, of which the aurora is one
! form of Manifestation. 1t is well known
/ that we are now near the maximum point
in the eleven (111) year cycle of sun
spot activity, the spots being now large
and numerous. 1t is not at present
known that there was any particular
spasm of activity on the solar surface
during last SUNDAY. Prof. Young, o.
Princeton, did not make any special OBJ
servation of the sun on that dav. ThC
big telescope of the Dearborn Observa
tory was turned upon him, but did no
show anything widely different from thu
appearance OF short time previously
There was, however, ample time for I
storm to brew on the sun during III
twelve hours that elapsed between tn
observation and the display.

A Terrible Accident.

Mrs. Achibald Wright who resides at Gar
field a recent settlement in Bergen County,
New Jersey, was on Sunday afternoon frying
out some fat in a pan when the fat caught fire.
Mrs. Wright became excited and, seizing tho
pan by the handle, rushed to the door with it and
threw il ont She heard horrible shrek and
saw that she had thrown the pan and its contents
into the face of her three-year-old child, which
was just running to the house when Mrs.
Wright went to the door The child suffered
frightful injuries. Both eyes were complete
ly burned out and the face horribly disfigured.
The child writhed in its agony, and ran about
in wild alright and crazed with pain. A physi-
clan was summoned, and applied the usual
sedatiyes. He declares that the sight of both
eyes is irrecoverably lost, and that the face
will be horribly disigured, buthe secs no pres

The only effect of these was to distract the
attention and increase the fury of the boar,

rected his attention to Mr. Derby. He charged
furously upon that gentleman, who coolly
discharged two more shots with wonderful
precision at the head of the approaching brute,
and, turning, beat a hasty retreat in the direc-
ton of the road. The speed told rapidly upon
Mr.. Derby, who turns the scales at 200 pounds,
but he made O tremendous effort to reach his
team pair of spirited young horses, thinking
If he could once gain his seat in the carriage,
the team would afford safety. Unfortunately,
the horses, excited by the firing, were on the
alert, and, catching sight of the bear, ran
furiously down the road, leaving Mr.. Derby
to settle with the bear. Not a moment
was TO be lost. The quick eye of Mr.. Derby
diseovereda tree near by. Springing into its
lower branches, he reached point of safety
half dead from exhaustion. The bear, bleed
ing profusely from many wounds, was UNI
daunted and aggressive, and did not leave the
enemy long to arrange a new campaign, but
began the ascent of the tree. Mr.. Derby drew
sheath knife, and, with that in his teeth, pre-
| pared for desperate encounter. Dscharging
| the three remaining shots of his revolver ut
| the head of the bear, he seized the knife, and,
| holding by limb with his left hand, struck
desperately at the fore feet of the climber,
! nearly severing one claw and cutting enor-
nous gashes in the animals shoulders and
head. While struggling for his life the
| limb by which Mr.. Derby was holding
broke, and he was precipitated to the ground
ten feet, sustaining severe bruises and badly
/ sprained shoulder In HIS eagerness to reach
| his foe the bear tumbled from the tree also
and rushed at Mr. Derby, who had recovered

straight through his heart and the animal sue
cumbed. Mr. Derby suffered severe scratches
and loss of considerable Blood. His clothing

Flint Friedrich.

Flint fire-bricks are now being extern
sively manufactured in England, and are
said to be capable of resisting intense
heat The flint stones are first thor
oughly calcined in pecially con-
structed for the purpose, and the calcined
flint transferred to fixed pan, in
which revolves pair of heavy edge
runners. The limestone is also burned
in a kiln in the usual manner and
deposited in tank, into which water
is introduced, and the burnt lime
is there partially dissolved. The lime
water is conveyed by pipes to the
pan of the edge runners in which the
flint has been deposited, enough lime
water being introduced to moisten
the flint sufficiently for thorough mix
ing. The revolving runners grind and
effectively mix the mass, taking about a
quarter of an hour for each charge OF
one ton of flint and lime-water. When
the mass has been ground and mixed
sufficiently for the purpose intended, il
is removed from the pan, through q
sluice in the bottom. The plastic com
position thus formed may be at once
nodded into bricks, but it is improved
and brought to better temper by being
kept for a few hours before Gnolding
which plan is usually adopted.-M Y

Horses Without Shoes.

A Connecticut correspondent of the
n. Y. Herald writes: Over three years
ago articles appeared in the Boston
Journal and several other papers adj
vising the working of horses without
shoes, and at the same time giving the
experience of several persons who had
used them without shoes with complete
success | was so impressed with the
statements and the success of the eX-
periments that / was induced to have
the shoes of one of my horses taken OIL
l turned him out to grass for about
month and then put him to work, light
ly at first, and. l must confess, with
fear and trembling; but after a trial |
was so pleased with the result that |
took the shoes off my other two horses.
and have worked them without shoes
ever since, now about three years.
! find they work better, more sure-footed,
and are far less liable to lameness
! than when shod, and / am well
satisfied that horses feet as nature
made them are all sufficient for Ordina-
nv work, and, believe, for eXtraordi-
nary work. After my long experience
/ should now as soon think of going to
farrier myself to be shod as to send
| my nOrSeS IOf IlaJ PURPOSE. w ndI sur
prised me most was that one of my
horses was continually falling lame, and
we never could discover the cause, but
since she has been worked without shoes
she has never shown the least symp,
toms of lameness and never stumbled,
which she did very much when shod,
from which infer that the pairing the
soles when shoeing made her feet very
tender and was the cause of all the
trouble. Our roads are rough, hiny
and stony, much more so than the aver
age roads, so that my success cannot
be attributed to superiority in this re-
spect. Equestrians would find ii fal
safer to use horses without shoes, ms thu
sole becomes so hard as to be non-sensi
tive to small stones, and the animals ar
thus far less liable to stumble. TO pre-
vent the hoofs from chipping the toe
: should be kept slightly rounded BY
coarse file, such as is used by farriers
l and as the feet should always be locke
to when the horse is groomed the tim
: NoauEed to do this is verv tTi1ing.
