What a Little Squirrel Can DO.

A man from Providence recently re-
ceived from Underhill, VT, fine gray
squirrel. AS the family were on the
point of going away for few hours,
the box was hastily set in the hall. He
soon got out OF his prison, however,
and going into the sitting-room he
amused himself by jumping from pict-
ure to brackets, one picture being turn
ed over and partly gnawed to pieces,
and the brackets swept of their adorn-
ments and scattered promiscuously.
He next turned his attention to the
window sash, which he stuck to lust
long enough to make it an eyesorc.
Leaving the sitting-room he strayed
into the dining-room, where he found
nothing worthy of his notice but
bunch of catkins, to which he paid due
attention, when he wandered to the
sleeping-room, where he must have
reveled for some time. A camphor
bottle was thrown to the floor,
large cologne bottle was thrown down,
and pictures and ornaments left in wild
confusion, and the window-sash was
gnawed to such an extent that it will
have to be replaced by new one. He
finally left that room and took q stroll
as far as the closet, where he managed
to break q towel bracket and complete
ly ruin rubber gas pipe, when he was
disturbed by the lady of the house,
who, on entering. was startled by a
strong odor of camphor and cologne.
A hunt resulted in the discovery of the
squirrels nose and fore feet protruding
out of 4 coffee-pot. An attempt to
capture him proved n sorry task, and,
finally, to save intact what he had not
already ruined, he was dragged" in
proper condition for the taxidermist,
and now from stump he quietly sur
veys the scene of his recent frolic.-

A Monster orthe Southwest.

The lizard family attains great per-
lection in the southwest, climaxing in
the horrible creature called the ella
Monster of Arizona. This is q big
black lizard. from foot TO four feet
in length. He has pair of villainous,
bead-like black eyes in his head be-
meath couple of horny eyebrows that
give his face an uncommonly ferocious
expression. Around his neck is broad
band of beautiful yellow, and am con-
vinced that should recently imported
Irishman run afoul of one Of these
vermin he would consider himself in
the presence of the devil himself. wear
ing the colors Of the prince of Orange.
The Arizona prospectors tell the
widest tales about the poisonous quail
ties of the ella monster. some even
claiming that the reptile kills its prey
by breathing on it. Its poison is con-
tanned in minute cells at the base of a
number of .saw-like teeth. Though
naturally a sluggish brute, it at times
exhibits the most frightful quickness,
darling like n flash upon its prey and
Selling the Same between its jaws,
which it shuts and keeps closed with
the strength and tenacity of swapping
turtle. Meanwhile the poison slowly
exudes and penetrates the wounds
made by the teeth, and if the victim be-
an animal of lesser degree than man,
faintness and death speedily ensue.
The poison differs from that of every
known venomous snake in being an
alkali, while that of scrpents is acid.

tn. Electric Light For Domestic Use.

The Liverpool Post states that dis
covery has recently been made in cleo
trio lighting. which, it is hoped by the
patentces, will solve the question how
TO bring the electric light into operas
ton for domestic use. 1t has been
found possible, it is said, to produce
the light without the aid of either en-
gines or dynamos. All that is required
are merely the ordinary metals and
carbons and peculiar kind of acid.
These are put into an ordinary cell,
and Immediately the acid is poured in
and the continuity established the cleo
trio force begins 10 develop. Expert
ments have recently been made by Mr..
L. II. Thompson, the well-known cleo
trical engineer. by which twenty
candle light has been kept continuous
ly going by the electric current being
generated in this way, and the expert
ments have been pronounced a decided
success by all who have witnessed
them. BY this process no accumula-
tors are required, and the batteries can
be SO made as TO supply one or hum
dred OF more lights, according to the
number required. The new light, which
is called the Acme, it is asserted, will
be admirably adapted for country resi-
denccs, yachts. etc., and can, it is esti-
mated, be produced at price about
the same as that OF gas, with very SUI
perior Illuminating power, while the
original expense of providing twenty
lamps of twenty candle power each is
calculated at about ESQ.

"How was your attention directed to this sub

"At a convention of the teachers of deaf

Of a committee which was appointed for the
purpose of devising means for testing and
measuring the hearing capacity of mutes. 1t
has been discovered that very large number of
persons who are classed as deaf mutes have, in
reality, considerable hearing capacity
have been able to discover this latent capacity
by means of this instrument and when 1t
is found that patient can be made to hear it is
not matter of great difficulty to develop the
hidden power and to teach the patient to hear

is not necessary to speech. mean by that that
deaf mutes can be taught to talk, that in several
countries of Europe they are treated so success
fully that more than 65 per cent. of them
learn to use their vocal organs. In the United
States this matter has been neglected, and only
IA per cent. of the deaf-mutes are taught to
speak 1t is my hope that this instrument will
be powerful factor in the restoration of speech
and hearing to multitude of persons, and am
extremely anxious that it may become of use to
school children and to teachers. There are
probably l, 400 children in the public schools OF
this city who on account of defective hearing
should be given special advantages. I trust my
invention will be instrumental in discovering

A bi-centenary of q curious kind has recently
been celebrated at Amsterdam, being less
than the celebration of the invention of the
thmble 1t is insb two centuries since last De-

by Nicholas van Benschoten young goldsmith
who devised the article for the protection of the
finger of his lady love- Nine. Van Rensselaer,. for
thimbles, like many greater things, owe their
origin to Dan Cupid. The English were the
first to make thimbles on large scale; but long
before either Dutch or English thought of thin
bles. Chinese ladies were thimbled when they
worked at their grand embroidery The Chinese
thimbles bore-and bear to this day-the form
of a lovely lotus flower. There is no such poe
