The RrOdt ElOnemenf.

RumOrs were rife, last week, of an
elopement from Lancaster, an unheard
occurrence here. and some doubt was
had as to the horrid transaction being
fact. But recent developments prove
that an elopement did occur, and the
parties did really live Lancaster-fo a
few short months. Now, there is moth
ing strange in an elopement, especially in
this fast age; they are taking place daily
in other localities, but, from Lancas-
ter, where for the last thirty-nine years
there has been plenty of material to or
ganize elopements by the carload, and
none having before taken place, this
single instance has caused considerable
talk.
The parties in this case are first cous-
ms, Brodt by name-Fred and Carrie.
Fred is the lawfully welded husband of
another Brodt, sister TO Carrie, by whom
he had two children--a babe four months
old and boy two years of age. For
some time Mrs. Brodt had entertained
suspicious that her husband was little
more attentive to the sister Carrie than
dutiful husband should be; that is, he
seemed rather to enjoy the assistance
Carrie could render him than to have
his wife do the same work.
On Saturday morning, May 10, Brodt
informed his wife that he was going
with his team to Wyalusing to work on
the new railroad. He went. On Mon
day afternoon, following, Carrie Brodt
took the four O'Clock train, ostensibly
for visit to Mt. Hope, but went to
Prairie du Chen, instead. On the ar
rival of the night train at the latter
place, somewhat intoxicated individ-
ual and female was seen to be fondly
hugging and kissing each other. They
were Fred and Carrie. To an hotel
they went and playing the imam and
wife, role took room together, and
on Tuesday morning started for Iowa.
The following Thursday complaint of
adultery was made against the twain in
Crawford county, and officer George
Harrington put on their trail. At last
accounts the pair had not been captured,
but that they will be present at the next
sitting of the Crawford County Circuit
Court there is no doubt.
The worst feature of this low-down
business is, that Brodt deserted his wife
and children, taking with him every
cent he possessed and leaving them en-
tirely destitute That he may be cap
tured and dealt severely with by the
stern hand of the law, is not only the
earnest wish and desire of the deserted
wife, but of this entire community.

DR.. G. j. Mills, an English physi-
clan, who has resided for fifteen years
in Persia, has recently written an in
teresting work entitled The Land of
the Lion and the SUM-" Some of his
medical experiences are given. The
author had the privilege OF attending
Persians in their illness. At first he
was astonished at receiving no emolu-
ments. but found out that his servants
pocketed his legitimate fees. One
day a poor patient sends him some
money inclosed in a handsome purse.
The doctor returns the money, but
hears OF this, pays the doctor in
money, and puts it, too, in handsome
bag. The doctor keeps the money and,
very much to the disgust of his
patient, sends back the purse. A we'll
TODD baker has a cataract, and our
medico cures him of the trouble and
receives about four pounds for his fee.
When the Persian regains his sight he
insists that he is still blind, worse than
ever, demands back the money, and is
clamorous. The medico knows him to
be rascal, and suddenly fiourishes an
amputation knife before the blind
man, who at once runs away as fast
as his legs can carry him. Demands
were constant for quinine, and the
doctor had been particularly instructed
to distribute it freely when cases re-
CURED the febrifuge. But the cry for
quinine became SO constant that the
author was certain that it was OBJ
tanned under false pretenses. Then,
as Il rule. he administered it in solu-
tion, or if his servants wanted it he
put it in dry state in their mouths.
Then the cry for quinine diminished.
In the case of his servants, it was the
legitimate mokadel, or perquiSites of
office they were after. They collected
the quinine and sold it.-Medieal

POPULAR SCIENCE.

DIR. Werner Siemens has demonstra-
ted by experiment that intensely hot
gases do rot emit light, and that, con-
sequently, all light given by heated
gas must come from solid impurities.
and not from the gas itself.
The State geologist OF North Caro-
lima states that in Western North
Carolina there are fifty-nine peaks
above 5000 feet: ninety-three between
5000 and 5000, and lab between 1000
and 5000, total of 295 above 1000
feet.
Very little seems to be known about
the constitution of the sun, consider
ing its Importance in the system OF the
universe. and that little rests largely
apon conjecture. According TO Pro-
fessor Young, the central portion IS
for the most part a mass of heated
gases, the philosophers is a shell OF lu-
minous clouds, the chromosphere is
composed mainly of incondensible
gases, and what constitutes the corona
Is entirely unknown.
A Boston engineer has been turning
his attention to the power going to
waste in the Niagara river. He esti-
mates that a motor could be sub
merged in the river which would fur
nish half million horse power-suifi-
cent to. run all the machinery in
Buffalo and pump all the city's water.
His plan is TO place giant iron wheel
in the river perpendicularly, SO that it
shall be turned by the current. The
power would be taken from the shaft
of the wheel by either belts or gear
ngs, or would be sent through electric
cables.
Mr.. Macagno has experimental near
Palermo upon the intiuen of atmos-
pheric electricity on the growth OF
grape vines. Sixteen plants were sub
mitted to the action of an electric
current, by means of copper wire in
serted by platinum point in the ex-
tremity of a fruit-bearing branch,
while another wire connected the
branch at its origin with the soil. The
experiment lasted from April TO Sep
TENDER. The wood Of the branches
which were experimental upon was
found TO contain less potash and other
mineral matters than the rest of the
vine, but the leaves had an excess CT
potash in the form of bitastrate. The
grapes collected from the electrified
branches furnished more mast, con-
tanned more glucose, and were less
acid.
