louisville. The great resources oi
Texas should be kept before the world
until il il filed with thrifty, energetic
people, and we know of no better
way for small cost than TO
have n nice display OF manuiae-
lures, products of the soil, minerals,
etc, for the inspection of those who
will visit the exposition from all parts
OF the world. Other states are NOV
ing in this matter, and Texas cannot
afford 10 pass the matter by because OF
a false spirit of economy. Let the
candidate for representative in Collin
speak out about this matter. For one
we propose to vote for no man who
will hesitate TO vote for the small APP
preparation that will be necessary TO
make the Texas display the most at
tractive that will be at the great
Worlds Exposition in lSS4-5.
Marshall Herald: There are few
papers in the state that are opposed To
an appropriation being made by the
legislature for the purpose OF having
Texas creditably represented mt the
Worlds Exposition and Cotton Cen
tennial at New Orleans in 1884. Nota-
bly, among these opposers is the Austin
Statesman, which is naturally opposed
to Governor ireland on all points, and
hence its opposition TO the approprln-
ton, because the governor mentioned
IL in his proclamation ms one OF the
subjects for the consideration of
the legislature at the extra session,
These papers hold that the legislature
cannot vote an appropriation for the
purpose without the members vio-
lating their oath to support the consli-
tuition. The section of tue constitu-
ton referred to Is the forty-eightll sec
ton of the third article, which says:
1.-The legislature shall not have the
right 10 levy taxes, or impose burdens
upon the people, except 10 raise reve-
nue. sufficient for the economical adj
ministration OF the state government"
Now TO make an appropriation cannot
be in any sense violation OF this Sec
ton. The appropriation would not be
tax nor burden imposed ON the
people Mt all. II would be using
the public money, which the
people would not feel TO be u
tax or burden; but, on the contrary,
IL would be II judicions use Of the mon
ey in perfect consistency with an eco
nomical administration. la this re-
spect thestateis lIkean individual who
advertises his business and displays
his goods, to show the public what he
has In stock, and the advantages. he
can give customers. so the state, by q
proper display ut the Worlds Exposi-
lion will show her great resources, in
every department of industry, ana adj
yer,isc her advantages TO those
seeking homes from other states
and counties. Again, the exposition Is
national affair, authorized by con,
gress, approved by the president and

/ the general government. Now u
would be in perfect accord with good
government for the state to make such

How One Novel was Written.

Wilkie Collins writes most Of his
novels with his own hand, but now
and then rheumatic gout gives him
such pain that he cannot hold pen,
and then he employs an amanuensis
The greater part of "The Moonstone"
was dictated, and Mr. Collins says it
is the only one of his works which he
has never read. The recollection OF
the agony he suffered while debating
it deters him. "For a long time,
while that hook was writing" he says,
had the utmost difficulty in getting
an amanuensis who would go on with
his work without interrupting himself
to sympathize with me. / am much
like beast in many ways-if l am in
pain, must howl and, as / lay in the
bed in the corner yonder, l would Of
ten break forth in yell Of anguish
Then my amanuensis would urge me
to compose myself and not to write
any more. Between the paragraphs
l would go along nicely enough, hav-
ing in my mind just what | wanted to
say, and these Interruptions would
drive mad Finally young girl, not
more than seventeen, offered to help
me, and l consented that she should,
in case she was sure she could let me
howl and cry out in my pain while she
kept her place at the table. She did
it, too, and THE Moonstone" finally
came to an end. But never read it

Clothing and Bodily Heat.

The thinnest veil is vestment in
the sense that it moderates the loss OF
of heat which radiation causes the
naked body to experience. In the
same way a clouded sky protects the
earth against too great cooling in
spring nights. In covering ourselves
with multiple envelopes Of which we
augment the protecting thickness ac-
cording to the rigor of the seasons, we
retard the radiation from the body by
causing it to pass through series Of
stages, or by providing relays. The
linen, the ordinary dress and the cloak
constitute for us so many artificial cpl
dermises. The heat that leaves the
skin goes to warm these superposed
envelopes; it passes through them the
more slowly in proportion as they are
poorer conductors; reaching the sur
face, it escapes, but without making
us feel the chills which direct contact
with the atmosphere occasions, for our
clothes catch the cold for us. The
hairs and the feathers of animals per-
form the same function as toward their
skin, serving to remove the seat OF
calorifc exchange away from the body.
The protection we owe to our clothes
is made more effectual by their always
being wadded with stratum of warm
air. Each one of us thus has his own
atmosphere, which goes with him
everywhere, and is renewed without
being cooled. The animal also 6nds
under its fur an additional protection
in the bed of air that fills the spaces
between the hairs; and it is on account
of the air they enclose that porous sub
stances, furs and feathers keep warm.
Experiments to determine the degree
of facility with which different sub
stances used for clothing allow heat to
escape were made by Count Rumford,
Senebier, Boeckmann, James Starck
and M. Coulter. The results were not
in all cases consistent with each other,
but they indicated that the property is
dependent on the texture of the sub
stance rather than on the kind of mate
rial, or-as concerns non-luminous heat
its color.-PopWEar Science Monthly,

A MOngOl Characteristic.

With many good qualities, and with
almost a superabundance of religion,
the Mongols have no love of truth, and
are wont to despise man who cannot
meet the stress of daily events by an
apt lie. On one occasion, travelling
with a guide over the desert, Mr.. Gil
mour was frequently asked whether he
carried a revolver He constantly
made the truthful reply that he did not.
This so aroused the fear and excited
the indignation of the guide that his
employers sad state became a matter
of deep thought. resulting in this solu-
tion. He suggested that to all future
queries Mr.. Gilmour should reply
"Supposing l have, what then? Sup
posing have not, what them" The
canny Scotch wit of the missionary led
him to learn lesson even from Mon

A Bat Can See With It's Wings.

There is singular property with
which the bat is endowed, too remarka-
BILE and curious to be passed altogether
unnoticed. The wings of these crea-
lures consist of a delicate and nearly
naked membrane of great size cOnsid-
ering the size of the body; but besideI
this, the nose is, in some varieties, fur.
nished with a membraneous foliatiOn,
and in others the external membrane
Gus ears are greatly developed. These
membraneous tissues have their sensi-
bility so high that something like a
new sense is thereby developed. as if in
aid of the sense of sight. The modi-
fed impressions which the air in qui-
escence or in motion, however slight,
communicates the tremulous jar Of its
currents, it's temperature, the inde-
scribable conditions of such portions of
air as are in contact with different
bodies, are all apparently appreciated
by the bat. If the eyes of the bat be
covered up, or if he be cruelty deprived
of sight, it will pursue its course about
a room with a thousand obstacles in
it's way, avoiding them all, neither
dashing against wall nor touching
the smallest thing, but threading its
way with the utmost precision and
quickness, and passing adroitly through
apertures or interspaces of threads
placed purposely across the apartment.
This endowment, which almost exceeds
belief, has been abundantly demon
strated. d.-ForeSt and Stream.
