ity Is Illuminated brilliantly, and the
fsh, over whom light is well known
to exercise an Irresistible influence at
night, come eagerly, and sometimes
in large schools, within the rays. They
may be seen frem above disporting
themselves in the unaccustomed
brightness, and little dreaming of the
sinister purpose with which the little
fete is organized for them. 1t is then
that the other fishing-boats, armed
with nets. come up and set to work at
the unconscious victims, which they
surround as well as they can without
interfering with the apparatus con-
nected with the lighted globe. 1t may
be supposed that this device Is calcular
ted to operate with much deadly effect
whenever it is used and there seems
to be much doubt whether 1t will ever
be allowed as q recognized kind OF
fishing within territorial waters. In
deed, the license granted by the Gov
eminent is said to be merely provi-
sional, and for the purpose of testing
the new machiBe.

The Early Days Of Printing.

There is an old story about Faust,
the associate of Gutenberg, the inven-
tor of printing. which. whether true or
false. well illustrates this. As soon as
The Bible, which these two pioneers of
the art hsd printed, was complete,
Faust took a number of copies to Paris
to sell. The first copy he sold to the
king for $50 crowns, and another to
the ~arehbishop for $50 crowns, and to
less illustrious OF less worthy persons
he sold other copies for much smaller
sums, each one thinking that he pos
sessed . marvel of penmanship. So
delighted was the archbishop
with his purchase that he took it to
the king, who, in emulation, produced
his volume. In spite of d. fierences In
the great initial letters, which were
painted by hand, the text in both was
found to be indentical, down to the
smallest details, which would he inn
possible in books written by hand.
Other copies, too, II came to be known
had been sold. There was 40 way of
accounting for the mystery except by
magic, and poor Faust was committed
to stand his trial for sorcery and was
imprisoned. Only upon . full dis
closure Of his process Of printing.
which had hitherto been jealously SCI
cret, did he obtain his liberty, and this
he did not long enjoy. dying shortly
after Of the plague, before he could re-
turn to his own country.

English Humor.

A ~
The London Spectator says that "the
humor Of the United States, If closely
examined, will be found to depend In
q great measure on the ascendency
which the principle Of utility has
gained over the imaginations Of a
rather imaginative people, The
humor Of England, II closely exam
ined, will be found just about ready to
drop w the ket fence into the
arena, but never ute making con-
nections. If we scan the English lie
erary horizon we will find the humor-
is up a tall tree, depending from a
sharp knot thereof by the slack of his
overalls. He is just out of sight at the
time you look in that direction. He
always has a man working In his
place, however. The man who works
in his place is just pairing down the
half sole and newly pegging a joke
that has recently bees sent in by the
foreman for repairs.

A New Society.

A "5ociety for Physical Research"
has been started under the presidency
Of Mr.. Henry Sidgwick. Several men
of note who have leanings in the di-
rection ofspirltualism, but who have
hitherto avoided declaring themselves
so openly, arc connected with it.
Mr.. A J. Baltour, NJ. p, Professor
Balfour Stewart, Mr.. r. II. Hutton,
Hon. RDden Noel, Mr.. F. Myers, DIR.
Lockhart Robertson, and Others. 1t

over by Mr.. Hensleigh Wedgwood.
It is q pity that the Cock Lane ghost
Is extinct. There is a committee on
Thought Reading,y headed by Pro-
lessor Barrett.
BY the way, we may mention that
Mi. Stuart Cumberland gave a singu-
larry successful exposure of Thought
reading' before q distinguished audi
ence the other evening. lie easily
discovered an object hid by Mrnsignor
Capel in MIR. Camberland's absence
from the room. In a like manner,
but with even greater facility, a pin
stuck in a vest of a spiritualist doctor
by the secretary Of the Society for
Psyoh:eal Research was found by
Mr.. Cumberland. Professor Groom
Robertson and Professor Ray Lankes-
ter stated that where Mr.. Bishop had
failed Mr.. Cumberland had succeeded,
and that he vas by far the greatest ex-
ponent Of the profession THAT had YET
come forward-the special merit of his
experiments lying 10 the fact that he
made no pretensions, simply claiming
to succeed by natural perception.

Gods Plans Of Yoar Lifs.

Never complain Of your birth, your
training, your employment, your
hardships never fancy that you could
be something If you only had a differ
ent lot and sphere assigned you. God
understands His own plans, aud He
knows what you want a great deal
better than you do. The very things
that you most d~epreciate as fatal liml-
tations or distractions, are probably
Gods opportunities; and it is nothing
new that the patient should dislike his
medicines or any certain proof that
they are poisons. No! a truce to all
impatiencel Choke that foolish envy
which gnawsat your heart because yor
are not in the same lot with others;
bring down your soul, or rather, bring
1t up TO receive Gods viii, and do His
work in your lot in your sphere, under
your cloud of obscurity, against your
temptations and then you shall find
that your condition Is never opposed
to your good, but really consistent
with it.

Epping Forest.

On May 8, the 5000 acres Of land to
the northeast Of London known as
EppIng Forest was declared free to
the public. The value Of this immense
tract of land, from a scientific point of
view, lies, says Nature, in its Wild
ness. By far the greater portion Is
primitive woodland, which has been
but little interfered with by man In
comparison with the heaths and com
mons to the north, west and south OIL
London. Such an expanse requires
little In the way Of Improvement"
The requirements of the ordinary
holiday-maker and Of the field natu-
ralist are in this case identical. To
be able to roam through many miles
Of wild forest is IS truly a pleasure and
novelty to the former as it is a neces-
sity to the the latter.
But in addition to he forest proper
there are open spaces amounting to
more than 1900 acres, and the best
mode of improving these IL now under
discussion. One of the most unique
suggestions thus far made was that OF
Mr. Alfred r. Wallace in q recent
number of The Fortnighty Review.
After providing for Fairgrounds, etc..
Mr.. Wallace would plant these spaces
In such a way as to give q fair repre-
sentation OF ty pical landscapes in va
rious parts of the world. Thus, for
instance, by planting q section with
hickories, sassafras, liquidamber, ma
pies, oaks, rhododendrons, catalpas,
magnolias, locusts, tulip trees, butter
nut, bald cypress, Virginia creeper,
hemlock spruce, kalmias and other
American trees and shrubs he would
produce a North American landscape.
So again, by the use Of the California
big trees, redwoods, pines, spruces,
Expresses, silver frs, gigantic arbor-
viies, and other growths found east
of the Rocky Mountains, he would
initiate a landscape on the Pacific
Slope. In like manner another section
could be devoted to the trees of Europe
and Western Asia, including such ex-
amples as the nettle tree, the red bud,
the Towering ash. the wild olive, the
hop hornbeam, Nordmann's Russian
silver fir, and the picea pinsapo OF
Spain another to the singular vegeta-
ton found on the eastern shores of
Asia, as the ailaltus, the sophora,
cryptomeria, paulownia. the retino-
sporas, the giDgko tree, the Chinese
arbor vitms, the wistaria, and the
gIyptostrobus; while n landscape
might be devoted to trees and shrubs
peculiar to the Southern hemisphere,
including such specimens as CHILEAN
pine, the gum tree of Australia the
huon pine of Tasmania, the pittospo-
runs of New-Zealand, and many
charming shrubs and climbers from
Brazil.

A Use tor the High Hat.

The ordinary high hat has gener-
ally been denounced Is > grievous ina
position Of fashion, but it has az last
been turned to . really useful purpose.
The Swiss Federal Council was at its
wits. end to know what to do with
the requests for invitations to the St.
Gothard festivities, and there were
''six hundred gentlemen at least''
whose claims were undeniable, but all
of whom the Council did not see its
way to feeding and lodging for three
days" In this emergency the Coun-
Gil has intimated that "cylinder hats
and black coats will be de ~rigueur,"
and this costume Is so abhorrent to
the free Switzers that many lit is con-
idently expected) will stay away

The Blue Sky.

Professor Brucke has constructed an
artificial blue sky by droppinga spirit
uous solution of rosin into water until
the liquid becomes turbid and milky.
When a black board is placed behind
the glass containing this turbid solu-
ton, and the light is allowed to fall
upon the liquid obliquely from above.
it assumes the aspect of a clear blue
sky. Professor Helmholtz very un-
POLITICALLY, and almost irreverently,
speaks of a blue eye as simply an eye
with turbid humors. Professor Tyndall
has followed up this interesting branch
of investigation by showing that an
artificial blue sky can also be produced
by throwing 3 strong beam of electric
light upon certain kinds of gas COM
tanned in long glass tubes. The effect
he conceives to be in some measure
dependent upon the decomposition of
the gas through the agency of The
hight. One portion of the gas is sud-
denly precipitated in the condition Of
a delicate cloud, capable of catching
and turning back the blue vibrations.
In some notifications of the expert
ments the attenuated vapor makes its
first appearance in an exqulsitely deli
cate form. The light reflected from
these a~rtifcially constructed blue
clouds is always polarized where it is
thrown off at an angle Of 90e from the
course by which 1t has fallen upon the
rejecting PARTICLES. The most perfect
polarization always occurs in the di-
rection that Is perpendicular to the
path of the Illuminating beam. The
effect gradually grows weaker and
ultimately fades away, as this perpen.
dicularity is departed from. The POI
larization of the sky is NEST distinctly
developed in one particular track of
Of the blue vault, and fades gradually
away as the neighbering regions are
brought successfully under examine
ton.

A French yachting paper gives some
description Of the new apparatus
which Is being used, with the per-
mission Of the Government of that
country, for fishing by electricity at
night. 1t consists Of a globe of glass,
within which the electric light is
shown. Two conductors encased in
gutta percha are arranged 80 as to meet
n another on the inside, very much
on the same principle which Is now
familiar to all visitors to the Crystal
Palace. They communicate with a
ishing-boat anchored at q convenient
distance, and can, of course, be set
into activity by the occupants of the
boat. AS to the globe, it is attached to
a weight below and q float above, so
that it can be raised or lowered to the

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-10-11

Says the Black Hills Times: From
all accounts Cheyenne is progressing in
a rapid and substantial manner. This
magic city is but another Of the many
instances Of western enterprise. So far
as natural advantages are concerned, il
would have made but little difference
in the development of the city had it
been located either east or west a few
miles. With a good grazing country
behind II, and live men to build 1t up,
Cheyenne is the wonder and admiration
Of the world. Probably no city of its
size "a boast of as much capital. But
II the magic city wishes to becom,
something more than a swing station.
IL 1t wishes TO become n great CONNER
cial center, 1t must show more enter
prise In reaching out for the vast trade
of the northern country, which even
now is great, and soon is destined to
become enormous, by extending its in
1uence to onnect US by railroad. It is
hard, we know, 10 divert trade from It's
old channels, but there would be no
difficulty in Cheyenne securing a large
share OF our patronage If she could be
reached by railroad. The road will
come ooner or later, rs the railroad
system OF the Rocky mountains de-
mands 1t. Butt we get in a road from
the east nrst, our trade will go that
way and will be forever lost to the
magic city. This is e prize worth work
ing for, and we arc astonished that It
does not command moro attention.

The Ohio Elections.

Columbus, Ohio, October 10.-The
returns from the state election held to-
day are coming in rapidly this evening.
The gains and losses reported are based
upon a comparison with the vote for
governor in 1881, when the republican
majority was "a .309.
There are 1867 precincts in the state.
Five hundred and forty-tive precincts
and wards show Il net democratic gain
of II, 2TS, Reports have been already
received from all parts Of the state and
Indicate a general democratic gam. In
the cities OF Cincinnati, Columbus,
Cleveland and Toledo the democratic
gains are large.
10 p. m.-It the present rate Of gain
continues the democrats will have
1900 majority in the state.
Cincinnati, October l0.-The returns
from Hamilton county, so far as re-
caived, show a constant democratic
gain which indicates at this writing the
election of an entire democratic ticket.
From the few full returns received, it
is apparent that the democratic has
| many more votes than the congressional
and county ticket, but It is difficult to
see how the difference can be great
enough to elect republican candidates
for congress.
Chicago, October l0.-A Cleveland
message says: Everett, the republican
candidate for congress, telegraphed the
President that the state has gone demo-
cratic by a 5000 majority.
Columbus, Ohio, October 10.-Six
hundred and forty-one precincts show
a net democratic gain of l4,4S2. This
indicates IA democratic majority of owe

Cleveland, October II, 1:l5 a. m.-The
democratic central committee claims
the state by 50, 600.
Columbus, Ohio, October II, l p. IN.
The returns on Congressman are
meagre and unsatisfactory. From the
majority of them no definite results
have been occurred. The best informa-
tion from both headquarters gives the
republicans the 9fd, 9th, 11th, 14th,
18th, 18th and 10th districts, seven dis.
tricts ifall. The LIST, 2ud, 4th, 9th, 10th,

The republicans claim that they will

ton.
Governor Foster accounts for the
republican defeat on the ground that
they had eighteen candidates when the
bitter fight was made, He assigned as
another reason that the liquor interest
went over in a body to the democratic
party, not only furnishing means, but
that 1t was also active in polling them
a full vote, He is OF opinion that II
the republicans had gotten out a vote
the democrats could not have carried
the state.
