Cultivation of the Portuguese oyster is

There is reason to believe that the power

experiments.
Metallic iridium is very hard. It easily
cuts or marks steel. 1t can be cut by a
copper disk revolving at very high We.
locity, if the surfaces in contact are treated
with corundum and oil and the iridium
sheets are very thin.
Lascarbault, in observing the late transit

Near Tabiana, Italy, the remains of a

"Inseotivore, Chiroptera and Qlsdrumana,
said The insectivors, or insect eaters, are
divided into moles and hedgehogs. The
m0les have highly developed shoulder
blades, and wide, paddle like feet for fore
ing their way through the ground. They
have eyes, but these are covered with the
soft, furry hair, which extends all over the
animals body. Some pictures of curious
looking flying lemur were shown on the
screen, and two stuffed specimens were ex-
hbised. The chiroptera, or bats, are di-
yidsd into leaf.nosed and fruit. eating spe.

creature. It's tongue is rough ike that of

flesh of man and suck his blood. The
fruit-eaters are rather large and have we'll
developed molar teeth. First among the
monkeys, or qusdrumsns, the lemurs were
mentioned. They crawl on all.fours, and
belong to low order of monkey, looking
more like dogs than anything else. Among
the monkeys Of the old world are the dog.
nosed species. Their noses are like those
OF dogs, and their canine teeth are well
developed. These belong to the babocn
class. The lion monkey. also a baboon,
has a heavy name. and looks something
like an old man wrapped up in a muller.
A picture was shown of a group of these
monkeys perched upon the limb OF tree.
The picture closely resembled Democratic
caucus In full blast. The cnnio, or bearded
saki, is q very homely monkey, which
keeps up mournful bowling all night in
the forests. Another monkey has 8 nose

Throbbed wild and sweet the whole day long
Yet ere he sang age came and stole
The music Of his tuneful soul.

Death knocked upon his door one day.

THE NEWS JOURNAL VERY JUBILANT,
While HaIstead Puts forth Dismal Wall
The New York Tribune Thinks It
Means a Hard Fight
Next Year.

CINCINNATI, October 11.-Commenting
upon the election the NewsJournal says:
The Republican party organization Is
broken. 1t iron power and its courage OF
conviction and consciousness OF mission
are gone. Democracy encountered more
and greater opposition than many Demo-
Gratis expected, but it was not from the
strength OF the Republican organization,
or any great lingering power in Republican
ideas. 1t was-and most wholesonely 1t
was, and with great promise to Democracy
mere opposition and not that positive
republican unity that has been hitherto
encountered. 1t was opposition which
came from scattered, widely divergent, and
even
AntagOnistIc Elements,
and on account Of various ideas OF public
policy. The basis was, of course, that con-
stanl element in all party struggles-the
great masses OF the old and eifete Repusll.
can party, who still cling TO their old
alignment, held by the power Of conserva-
tism. The great mass nothing can change
and nothing will change. This constant
quantity to which Foster and the managers
tndeavored to make sufficient additions to
elect a Governor aud Legislature was re-
inforced in singular ways from various
quarters and from singular elements.
As to the size OF the victory and the COM
pleteness Of il, it is not too large, but Is
large enough. That some Democrats I'M
wisely hoped for
A Sweeping Victory.
AID hoped to see the Republican party
utterly fattened out of all shape resulted
from that zeal which is most excellent
thing. Happily it is seldom that any par
" OF American citizens can expect TO win
such triumphs over their countrymen.
The Republican party has enjoyed, through
it's despotc power, such victories; but not
to the advantage of the country or OF tue
party. Where it was most absolute and m
sOlent it was most openly corrupt, ana IL
was preparing its own fall and the country
was most suffering. The result is large
enough to indicate positive victory, per
manency, and certainty, and TO keep the
party on its good behavior to labor zeal
ously for
The PublIe Veal
without arrogance toward opponents or
unfaithfulness in public duties. 1t is not
large enough to beget Overcontidence; 1t IS
not large enough to create an arrogant con-
fidence in further and permanent power
that would tend to create a boss and ma
chine Democratic system; it is large
enough to show clearly the drift OF the
tide, and to make sure the reestablish-
ment of common sense JefierSonian ideas
in the administration of public affairs, and
in the social and industrial development OF
this country.
