A dignifed old gentleman entered
a Paris railway station, laid down
bulky vslise while he bought ticket,
and passed On to the train, forgetting
his luggage. A young fellow who
noticed the oversight seized the yalise
and made off with it. He was ar
rested, and the contents Of the valise
examined. 1t appeared that the
owner was q wealthy landowner who
lived at St. German with his wife
and children. He was telegraphed
for, and came, the digaifed old gen
tleman of the station house. The
carpet bag was opened before him
in court. 1t contained $500 in gold,
some bills, and package Of love let

release the lucky thief, and permit

Recent evidence seems to indicate

Recent evidence seems to indicate
that under certain conditions, vegeta-
bic matter may be converted into
coal in a much less period than many
geelogists have believed to be neces-
ssrv. At least an approach to such
conversion has been discovered in
some of The mines of the Upper
Hartz, in Germany, where some of
the timbers originslly used az sup
perts have been transformed into
what appears to be genuine Ignite
brown ceal- The time occupied by
the process cannot, it is believed

that more rain falls on the eastern
than in the same latitude ON the
western side of continents. This IS
true everywhere except in the higher
ATTITUDES. Thus the average rainfall
at San Francisco is only from a half
to a third as great in quantity as in
the east eff Pennsylvania; and the
same or more striking difference may
be found by comparing Morocco with
the Chinese coast, and the west with
the east coasts of South AfricN,
Australia and South America.
. Mr.. Jacob Reese is credited with
having expressed the belief that if it
were possible to produce a flameless
combustion the intensity and quantity
of heat obtained frOm given amount
of fuel would be greatly increased
thereby. Mr.. Thomas Fletcher OF
Warrington, England, has succeeded
in producing 2 combustion without
flame, and lately gave at Owens
College a striking practical illustra-
ton of Mr.. Reesss theory. He di-
rected the fame of asimple gas blow
pipe upon three iSch ball Of iron
wire for few seconds, and then blew
out the flame. The heat rapidly in
creased and the wire quickly melted
and ran into drops. He even sue
ceeded in fusing refractory fire clay,
the intensity Of heat being much
greater than ever before obtained
with the fuel used. Even in the
dark the burning Of the gas was
shown to be entirely invisible. 1t
appears that flame really indicates an
imperfect combustion.
Prof German See has called tho
attention of the Paris Academy Of
Medicine to a new medicinal s!kaloid

able properties of that drug. The
new substance is called convallarine,
and is obtained from the slily of the
valley. 1t acts powerfully on the
heart, and lowers the pulse very de-
cidedly. The plant itself is said to
have been long employed BY Russian
peasants for dropsical affections.

Uncle Nahum Nixsp Was reading
the paper in his back parlor. Ne
body would think, to look al the sim
ple surroundings Of the unpretentiOus
apartment, that Mr.. Nahum was enc
of the wealthiest men in town. The
carpet it was true, WAS Administer,
but it had seen twenty years of COED
service. and was worn down to the
wsrp; the faded red curtains were Of
moreen instead of satin damask, the
old clock On the mantel was no Par
islam affair of alabaster and gilt, but
Il substantial Connecticut tiine-piece

ridge springing out of her nest; the

ana hair cloth stood bolt upright

Gen. Washington or horseback and

mauted the gray papered walls in
frames of sombrs gilt, and the one
elegance of the apartment was cask-
Ct Of preposterous flowers under a
cracked glass shade.
But Uncle Nixon had remembered
that furniture ever since be was q
child, and he wouldn't have ex-
changed it for the fittings of a Pari-
alan boudoir, or the choicestspecimens
of the modern Eastlake pattern. He
was a rich man-that was quite
enough for him.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Prof. Dufour has presented new
and interesting proof that the earth
is round. The images of distant OBJ
iects reflected in the Lake of Geneva
in calm weather show just the degree
of distortion which careful mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation would predict on
account of the shape of the earth.
During fetal eclipse of its sur
face the moon assumes copper red
color, which gradually fades away SIS
the eclipse progress. Mr.. w. Mattieu
Williams accounts for this curious
phenomenon by supposing that the
illuminated portion Of the lunar sur
face, lacking the protection. of an at
mosphere, must be made red hot by
the suns rays. Only a thin layer of
the moons substance is 50 heated,
ana when the suns rays are with
drawn it rapidly coOls, causing the
fading away Of the red color when
in the shadow of the earth. IF his
hypothesis is correct, Mr.. Williams
believes that the surface temperature
of the bright side Of the moon must
be about 600 degrees. OF course
the dark side must be intensely cold,
SO quickly does the heat pass into
space after the sun disappears. On
the whole, the moon must be an UNI
comfortable world.
Microscopic vision has separated
ruled lines as fine as 1900 to the
inch, but, according to Prof. Rogers,
the evidence that finer lines than
that have been resolved under the
microscope IS not conclusive.
DR.. Constantine Fahlberg recently
described to the German Technical
Society q new substance which he es.
Inmates to possess from twenty to
thirty times the sweetness of cane
sugar. To chemists the new body
will be known as "anhydrosulpha-
nim-benzOic acid"
Mons. Toussaint has shown exper-
mentally the serious danger of eat
ing meat nearly raw as is now SO
generally done. If the meat is I'M
sound, the germs Of disease must pass
into the system. The NEST frequent
and dangerous malady with which
animals slaughtered for food are af-
fected is consumption, and even if
the animal is only slightly diseased
persons eating the uncOsked meat
are liable to infection. The raw
juice pressed from slightly affected
cows lung was used to inoculate rab-
bits and young pigs, and all the sub
iects died in short time from the
disease. The experiment was re-
peated with a portion Of the juice
which had been partially cooked, and
the result was the same. Only
thorough cooking was found to eff
feetually destroy all the infectious
germs.

The seventeenth of March arrived
a cold, clustering night, and the old
red brick house was all in a glimmer
of lights as the young betrothed pair
strove up to the door. Uncle Nahum
met them on the threshold in his old
fashioned swallow tailed coat, with a
huge white camelia in his button
