The Mosquito at Close Quarters.

Viewed through the microscope the
mosquito presents o picture of mechan
zeal ingenuity as marvellous in execu-
ton as it is devilish in design. In the
bill alone, which seems so fragile to
the unaided sight, there is combina-
ton of five distinct surgical instru-
ments. These are, a lance, two meat
saws, and suction pump. The fifth
instrument have forgotten, but labor
under the impression that it is ponta-
ble' Corliss engine to run the rest of the
factory with. L know that the hum of
the mosquitoes in the cottonwood
thickets along the Lower Mississippi re-
minded me constantly of the hum of
n manufacturing village, and several
times / walked back several miles look
ing for town before L could convince
myself that the buzzing l heard was
made by mosquitoes, with their engines
running to sharpen their saws. When
the insects operate on man the lance
is first pushed into the flesh, then the
two saws, placed back to back, begin
to work up snd down to enlarge the
hole, then the pump is inserted, and
the victims blood is syphoned up into
the reservoir carried behind, and final
ly, to complete the cruelty Of the per-
Torrance, the wretch drops quantity
of poison into the wound to keep it ir-
.ritated--FOrest and Stream.

One of Bills comrades told the story
of the scalping: ut was just after the
massacre of Custer" he said. BILL
was with Gen. Miles at the head of the
scouts. They were trying to cut off
Yellow Hand from Sitting Bull. Early
in the morning Yellow Hand rode up
at the head of war party and chal-
lenged Bill to an open combat. Gen.
Miles and others tried to dissuade Bill
from accepting the challenge. He re-
piled that a refusal to accept it would
ruin his prestige among the savages,
and that was something he could not
afford to lose. He told Yellow Hand
that he swould fight him. The two
armies were ranged less than mile
apart. Six mounted scouts accom-
panied Bill and six mounted Brule
Sioux rode forward with Yellow Hand.
They were to open the fight on horse
back with rifles. Their escorts drew
aside, and the combatants dashed for
ward. Yellow Hand began to spin
around Bill in circle, and Bill began
to circulate on circle himself. Around
and around they went like swallows in
the air. Both white men and savages
were eager spectators. Each combat
ant had his leg over his horses fore
shoulder, and each was swinging head
downward, awaiting an opportunity for
fatal shot. They fired so close to-
gether that it sounded like the crack Of
one rifle. In q twinkling both horses
We're biting the dust. Bill was as spry
as cat He was ON his feet before his

was partly pinned to the earth by the
weight of his pony. The two men
were not over seventy feet apart. Be-
fore the chief could extricate himself
Bill had shot him through the body.
1T was, however, flesh wound. Vel
low Hand gained his feet, drew his
scalping-knife, and went for Bill like q
demon. The Indians were yelling like
hyenas, andoMiles' troopers were rend-
ing the air with their shouts. Yellow
Hands knife went through Bills hunt
ing-shirt, barely scraping the. hide.
There was quick struggle, some
labored breathing and gritting of teeth,
and Bills knife slid between the chiefs
ribs and pierced his heart. He fell
lifeless on the plain. In a second Bill
,encircled his topknot and yanked the
scalp from his head. With fiendish
screams the Indians poured down on
him. But old Miles troopers were
there on time, and there was as lively
an Indian fight as was ever seen in the
Big Horn country. Yellow Hand lost
his scalp, as well as his life, and his
soul never reached the happy hunting
ground. "-NelC York San.

Cooling Or n COmpOSing.ROOm.

The composing-rom of the New Or
leans Picay't1le is situated in the upper
story of its publication-house, just
under the roof, and in summer is ex-
ceedingly hot. Last season an inspira-
ton seems to have come to one of the
oppressed occupants, and in accordance
with it vertical wooden box was con-
structed in the corner of the room,
with openings at the floor and ceiling,
and furnished with pipe for supply
ing water at the top and pan and
drain ut the bottom for receiving and
carrying it safely away. The supply
pipe was bent over the upper end of
the shaft, and fitted with a nose like
that of a watering-pot, so as to deliver
a shower of spray instead of a solid
stream. On connecting it with the
service-pipe, the movement of the water
was found to cause an active circulation
of the air in that part of the room,
which was drawn in at the upper open
ing of the shaft and issued again, cool
and fresh, at the floor level.
The most surprising thing about the
experiment seems to have been the eff
feet of the water in cooling the air to
degree much below its own tempera-
ture. With Mississippi water, which
when drawn from the service-pipe in
dicated temperature of 81 degrees,
the air of the room, in which the Their
mometer atthe beginning of the trial
stood at 96 degrees, was cooled in pass
ing through the length of the shaft to
"a degrees, or about 20 degrees below
the temperature at WHICH it entered,
aud 10 degrees below that of the water
which was used to cool it. OF course
the absorption of heat by the evapora-
ton of a portion of the water accounts
for its refrigerating effect, but the re-
suit seems to have been so easily and
inexpensively attained, that the expert
ment would be worth repeating.-Helen
Campbell, IN The Continent.

One of the Oldest things IN the world
is the fact that mean people do not
know that they are mean, but cherish
sincere conviction that they are the
souls of generosity. You will hear
them inveighing loudly against neigh
Dor who does not come up to the stan
dard of generous man. and decrying
the sin of boarding and withholding,
without being sensible in the least that
they are condemning themselves. They
are usually people who are not in the
habit of self-criticism, and if they were
not amusing they would be the most
aggravating class alive. Moreover,
they are generally people who are not
only willing to receive, but who de-
mand great deal at the hands of
others; yet the example of their friends
in. giving and lending never seem to
strike them as at variance with their
own line of conduct, and if by any
chance they part with farthing, it APP
pears to them more magnanimous act
than the founding of hospital by
another. The mean person must be
brought to lively sense of the need
before opening her purse; as for beg
CARS she disapproves of them alto
gether; they are as pestiferous as the
mosquito m her eyes, and ought to be
legislated out of existence. We do not,
however, always find the mean person
among the rich; she'is quite as likely to
be poor; indeed; one of the great adj
vantages of poverty is that it often
obliges one to seem small, obliges one
to think of the candle-ends when one
would prefer to think of better things.
Money does not make a person mean
necessarily, or we should not all be
struggling so desperately to obtain it /;
bit ought rather to be a preventive.
The disease lies in the disposition Of
the individual, and it is doubtful if any
ulterior circumstances can eradicate it
and, while in this view we NAV easily
forgive her, we find her vastly incon-
venient to deal with. If she is the en-
ployer, the mean woman is apt to get
as much work from her servant as pos
sible. On some pretext or other she
detains her seamstress after her regular
days work is over, underpays her wash
er-women, or exchanges old Guds for
clean linen; keeps the servants fires
low, or pays their wages with cast-off
fnery. Sometimes indeed, it is the
servant who gives poor work for liberal
payment; Sometimes it is the husband
who dimes sumptuously at his club,
while his family sit down to spare diet ;
sometimes it is the landlord who obliges
the tenant to make his own repairs or
go shabby; sometimes it is the neighbor
who borrows, but never lends the manu-
facturer who adulterates food or drugs
the step-mother who feeds children on
skinned milk; the mother-in-law, who
grudges her sons wife the fallals she
has not been used TO, or the daughter
in-law, who makes her husbands mother
feel like stranger in her home. In
deed, meanness is such an unlovely
trait that it is no wonder we all disown
it.-HaTpey's Bazar.

The last invention for the protection
of theater audiences is "penetrable
safety WALL which has been patented
by an engineer ate Kottsbus, Germany.
The plan is to make the interior walls
in all parts of the theater of papier
mache, made after q certain method.
Such wall will have the appearance of
massive stone, but by pressure upon
certain parts, where the words are to
be painted in luminous letters, "To be
broken open in case of fire." access to
the exterior corridors is to be obtained,
whence escape to the outer air can be
made.-Popitlor Science Monthly.

"The Specter OF the BrOcken' in
America.

Mr.. II. A. Mari, of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, reports that he has
witnessed this atmospheric phenome-
non in the Tonjabe range, in Nevada.
In describing its appearance he SAYS:
Suddenly, as 1 stood looking over the
vast expanse beneath me, saw myself,
confronted by monster figure of a
man standing in mid-air before me,
upon the top of clearly defined mount
ain peak, which had but the thin air OF
the valley below for a resting-place
The figure was only n short distance
from me. Around it were two circles
of rainbow light and color, and the
outer one family defined as compared
with the inner one, which was bright
and clear and distinctly iridescent.
Around the head Of the figure was q
beautiful halo of light, and from the
figure itself shot rays of color normal
to the body. The sight startled me
more than l can tell. l threw up my
hands in establishment, and perhaps
some little fear; and at this moment
the specter seemed to move toward me.
In few minutes l got over my fright,
and then, after the figure had faded
away, 1 recognized the fact that / had
enjoyed one of the most wonderful
phenomena of nature. Since then we
have seen it once or twice from JEFF
Davis peak, but it never created such
an impression upon me as it did that
evening when L was doing service as q
heliotroper all alone on the top of Arc
| Dome"

cised regarding the safety of his hay
crop. The weather, though often
threatening, favored his efforts till he
succeeded in getting it safely gathered
in, being in this respect more fortunate
than several of his neighbors. After
seeing the last wisp of straw tied round
his stacks, he exclaimed, with q self
satisfied air:
"Noo, sim I haze gotten my hay a.
safely in, I think the warld would be
greatly the better O. guild shower"
