A will made in mad-houseS1Qf
which the testator has been an inlfIse
during the greater part of his life, Is
not a document very likely, one would
say, to pass muster in court of law,
but such a paper has just been declared
valid in Dublin. The testator was a
French gentleman, who in his youth
became insane from excessive dissipa-
ton and was confined in an asylum for
two years before he recovered his
mental health. Being then at liberty
to 90, he refused to do so, but having
acquired liking for the place, he re-
manned there until his death, twenty.
eight years later. Only once did lie
60 out into the world, and on this Oc-
casiOn he returned to the asylum 80
drunk that he declared he would never
run into temptation again, resolution
to which he always thereafter adhered,
until finally he was told that he could
not remain any longer, whereupon he
went forth weeping and died in
eighteen months from the day Of his
discharge,

Sounds from a Rainbow.

One of the most wonderful discOv.
cries in science that has been made
within the last year or two is the fact
that beam of light produces sound
A beam Of sunlight is thrown through
a lens on a glass vessel that contains
lampblack, colored silk or worsted, or
other substances. A disk having Sits
or openings cut in it is made to revolve
swiftly in this beam of light, so as to
cut it up, thus making alternate flashes
Of light and shadow. On putting the
ear to the glass vessel strange sounds
are heard so long as the flashing beam
is falling on the vessel.
Recently more wonderful discovery
has been made. The beam of sun
light is made to pass through prism,
so as to produce what is called the so
lar spectrum or rainbow. The disk is
turned and the colored light of the
rainbow is made to break through it.
Now, place the ear to the vessel con.
tanning the silk, wool or other ma
terial. AS the colored lights of the
spectrum fall upon it sounds will be
given by different parts of the spec
trum, and there will be silence in other
parts. For instance, if the vessel con-
tains red worsted and the green light
flashes upon it, loud sounds will be
given. Only feeble sounds will be
heard when the red and blue parts of
the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and
other cOlors make no sounds at all.
Green silk gives sound best in red
light. Every kind of material gives
more or less sound in different colors,
and uttcrs no sound in others. The
discovery 10 strange one, and it is
though moro wonderful things will
come ON IT,

A COlOred Hercules.

Bill Hood, a colored giant, who for
merly lived in Madison, Ind, recently
died at his home in Jackson county,
aged seventy years. Hood was re-
markable man in many respects, and
for strength was without an equal
thirty years ago.
He was a teamster, and often while
engaged in hauling rock, would lift
with perfect ease and place on his
wagon hagstones that would require
the strength of three or four ordinary
men. When his team would stall in
chuck-holes, he would place his back
under the axle of the wagon and hoist
the load out of the hole. When in his
cups he was somewhat Quarrelsome,
and conscious Of his great strength,
would defy the officers of the law
and their posses. Upon more
than one occasion the officers had
to shoot and disable him before
they could arrest him. Upon one oc-
casion crowd of railrOaders caught
him in liquor store, and by doubling
teams on him, thought they could
whip him. They accordingly locked
the door to prevent his escape, and then
informed him Of their intention, when
he immediately commenced to defend
himself by taking the ringleader by the
nape of the neck and the seat OF the
pantaloons, and raising him above his
head, threw him clear through the
show window and out on the pave
ment. He then began to knock the
others down with his fists, and tloored
them right and left, until he had the
whole crowd down, when he quietly I'M
locked the door and made his way home,
but not without good many bruises, as
his antagonists had been busy all the
time belaboring him with ak handles
and such like weapons. His super.
human strength was such, however
that he soon overcame things which
would have killed an ordinary man.

extremity Of the lower branches, Here,
no doubt. was the first rudeidea OF the
familiar article Of everyday use, and
great as Ia the perfection to which II
has been brought, II Is q question
whether tho most highly finished silk
umbrella or satin sunslade Of to-day
affords more practical shelter than the
primitive attempts of the earliest civil
lzatlons. The Chinese umbrella has
much to recommend II, II Is light,
easily opened and serves the purpose
for which II Is intended, and the China

with the article as II was handed down
TO him. What q suggestion Of satisfied

really cnviable, while the contrast af-
forded by the seethlng, pushing, cy.

til some article Of elegance at present
undreamed Of by us will be the result
Of the natural law Of selection. There
Is no telling to what greatness we may
yet aspire n the umbrella field, in face
Of the fact that in England $50 patents
were taken out for improvements in
these necessary articles within aperiod
of less than eighty years, and in ono
year more than twenty-five patents
were granted to inventors and improv-
ers in the United States
The march of ideas upon the subject
Is proved by the definition OF an
umbrella as given to-day and as found
in dictionary dating 100. Webster
tells us that an umbrella is "a shade,
screen or guard, carried in the hand.
for sheltering the person from the rays
of the sun and from rain OF snow"
while Kcrsey, $50 years ago, defined it
as ga screen commonly used by women
to keep of the rain" Ten years ago
the number Of "persons" who con-
sidered the shelter desirable was SO
great that the value Of umbrella manu-
features in the States alone was nearly
$5,000,000 per annum, and it is reported
that since that time the Importance Of
this branch Of industry is nearly
doubled. There is O curions cOnnec-
ton between umbrellas and dishonesty.

could be convicted of stealing" an
umbrella for the most part they APP

The Earth.

Two scientific observers in Geneva,
Messrs. Dufour AID Farrell, have dis
covered fresh proof of the theory that
the earth is Of globular form, as taught
by modern science. They find that the
images OF steamers and the surrounding
mountains reflected upon the surface OF
o large lake invariably appear slightly
diminished in size. They conclude,
therefore, that the surface of the water
must be- bent in convex shape, so that
produces the same result as . convex

THE CONESTOGA TEAM.

"A Hellc OF the Old0n Time.
A good deal of interest was excited this
morning by the appearance in Centre
Square of an old fashioned Conestoga team
a hugo covered wagon drawn by six
heavy draft horses. The wagon belongs
to Samuel Ginrich, of Mannheim township.
1t was bnilt to carry goods between Phila.
delphia and Pittsburgh, and made many a
trip across tho Allegheny mountains be
fore the Pennsylvania railroad was built.
1t was made to hold five hogsheads Of
whisky or forty barrels Of flour. The
lower part of the bed is fourteen feet in
length, the upper part being about twenty
feet. The bows, over which the cover is
stretched, extend diagonally to tho front
and rear 30 that the extreme leugth Of tho
cover is not less than 95 feet
Tho harness is old but substantial and,
as we'll as tho wagon, did good service in
the olden time. A bow over the names of
each horse contains string of bells-the
wheel horses having three bells each, the
swing horses four bells each and the lead
horses five.
The horses belonged to Mr.. Benjamin
NOlt, and were hired some time ago by
MIR. A. Bitner, of the Lancaster watch
company with view of taking tho team
to Philadelphia and exhibiting it in the b.
Centennial parade. MIR. NoIt however,
"rued bargain" whersupon Mr.. Bitner
bought the horses at a high figure and
will take them to Philadelphia to partici-
pate in the parade.

Archbishop Purcell's Anniversary.

Archbishop Purcell on Friday celebrated
the forty-ninth anniversary of his cOnse-
Grafton as bishop of Cincinnati. He is one
of the Oldest bishops in the world. His
coEsecratiOn took place in the cathedral in
Baltimore in 1888 in the presence Of con-
gregation which was estimated to number
1000. He was then 35 years Of age and had
become distinguished for his theological
acumen and devotion to the church. He
was consecrated by Bishop Whitefield, the
fourth bishop of Baltimore, assisted by
Bishops Bubbois and Kendrick. An
intimate friend, Father Eccleston,
preached the conservation sermon.
OF those who participated in the
ceremonies, none but Archbishop
Purcell is now living. Tho anniversary
was celebrated at the convent of the
Ureutines, in Brown county, where the
venerable archbishop has been in retire
mont for the last two years. Bishop
Elder, Bishop Teebbe, and Bishop Cha.
tard were among those who paid their
respects to the aged prelate. Tokens of
esteem were presented to him, and an ad-
dress was prepared expressive of tho high
estimation in which he is held by the
clergy of the diocese. Tho archbishop is
quite hearty, and though very infirm, is
still able to help himself. He has every
prospect of living to celebrate, one year
hence the golden jubilee of his consecra-
tiOn.
