Another chemist hearing of the discovery
travelled long distance for these times
and succeeded in buying the secret for
about 5000 of our money. But his ex-
periments were not successful, the mate
rial being merely PHOSPHORUS that was
discovered in this way. Later, in 1895,
a different phosphorescence was discov-
cred by calciming nitrate of lime, and
others soon followed, until now hundreds
of different methods of its manufacture
are known.
"Heat in some mysterious way de-
velops light in certain minerals; thus
feldspar, lime, sulphuret of calcium, dia
monds, ETC., when heated to a certain
degree give out a soft, phosphorcscent
gleam over their entire surface. In fact,
the luminous property is possessed by
everything-plants, insects, minerals,
and even the very air often shows re-

Cantain Kid.

Kid was the son of an old privateer in
the West Indies, and being known as a
brave seaman, was recommended by Lord
Bellamont, then governor of Barbados,
and several other persons, to the home
government, as one admirably fitted to
command kings ship cruising against
pirates, on account of his knowledge of
those seas and practices in warfare. The
project met with no favor in England,
and would have fallen through alto
gether had not Lord Bellamont and his
friends fitted out the Adventure ga LEY
at their own private charge. Kid was
put in command, and furnished with the
kings commission, charging him to hunt
down pirates, all and sundry, especially
Thomas Too, and others specified by
name. He also held commission of re-
prisals, for it was then war times, en-
powering him t0 take French merchant
ships in case he should meet any.
The Adventure galley sailed from Ply
mouth in May, 1896 carrying thirty guns
and eighty men; and, after, securing the
North and South Atlantic, tried the In
dian ocean, picking up French mer-
chantman or two; but OF pirates never a
one. At last, the patience of Kid who
appears to have meant well originally,
wore out; his crew turned mutinous. and
he became, according to his defense, a
pirate malgre lui. After lucky cruise
he sailed for this city, thinking his of
fense would be winked at, but was i'm
mediately seized here, with all his books
and papers, sent home for trial, and
hanged at Execution Dock, with six of
his associates. His career proved an ex-
ception to the rule that it is we'll to set a
thief to catch a thief. f.-NeW York NeDs.

Broaching cargo" says the New
York Times, is technical sea term which
means to steal something from the cargo.
AS it would be very difficult for dis
honest sailor to land the proceeds of his
burglaries on the high seas, he usually
confines his depredations to such articles
as he can consume during the voyage.
On vessel loaded with machinery, coal,
guano, or some other heavy material, the
captain has little'to fear from the sailor.
But when portion of the cargo consists
of wines, canned meats or fruits, or other
articles in the fancy grocery line, it is diff
ferent This kind of freight is usually
slowed in such manner as to render it
difficult of access, and captains frequently
instruct their officers to keep a sharp
watch on the men and to report any un-
accountable additions to the forecastle
bill of fare. Jack, however, considers him
self entitled to broach cargo when he can
do so without being found out. He reasons
that it is for the interests of the ship and
consequent y of the consignees of the
cargo to have him well fed. The deli
cacies which he abstracts from the cargo
might not have been placed there for his
benefit, but he thinks that they should
have been. If it is discovered during
the voyage that the seamen have broached
the cargo, they are handed over to the
authorities when port is reached. Then,
if the offense is proved against them, they
are punished, but it often happens that
the broaching is not discovered until
after the seamen have left the ship and
have had time to get out of the way.

The Potato as a Substitute for Ivory

Billiard balls made of pure ivory arc,
according to French contemporary, be,
coming rare, since some ingenious in.
ventor has discovered that billiards can
be played as we'll with potatoes submitted
to process of his own. 1t is rathe,
startling to hear of the familiar potato
usurping the ivory ball; but the inventor
referred to guarantees as to their adapta-
bility for the purpose, and it is needless
to point out that the saving of expense is
very considerable. The potatoes chosen
for manipulation must be perfectly sound
and well developed. After carefully
peeling them and removing discoored o,
spongy portions they are left during o
certain period to steep in pure water, to
which sulphuric acid is subsequently
added. This preliminary treatment ac.
complished, the operator boils the vegc.
table for prolonged period in a chemi'
cal preparation in which sulphuric acid
is the principal ingredient, great care
being necessary at this stage of the trans.
formation. The potato thus treated be-
comes gradually hard, and after beng
exposed to slow drying process is war.
ranted not to crack, but to be in every
respect an excellent substitute for ivory.

The Water LilY'S Story.

When l first opened my eyes to the
daylight was in a lovely place. My
home was beautiful pond, whose waters
were so clear they reflected the blue sky
and feecy clouds overhead, and where
everything was still and calm and quiet;
was surrounded by fair companions
each as lovely as myself. We grew
fairer and sweeter every day, and we
thought ourselves better than the COM
mon flowers that grew on the farther
side of the pond, the Daisies, the Blue
Violets, Adders' Tongues that queer
fellow, Jack in the Pulpit, and the Wild
Rose, who was so rude if any one
touched her. Were we not tall and
slender, fair and sweet of face, and did
not our green dresses become our fair
compilations wonderfully? Were we
not admired by every one who saw us;
and more than all, did not our mirror,
the pond, tell US we were beautiful
every time we glanced in it? Yesterday
there came to our pleasant home gay
pleasure-boat with party of ladies and
gentleman; the ladies all exclaimed, as
soon as they saw us, "Oh; how sweet,
how lovely" and one, whose face was
like an angels, reached over and took
me and several Of my companions into
the boat with them. The other ladies
gathered some of my fair sisters, and we
were all carried away to our new and
separate homes. The lady that and my
sisters were with took us to grand
house on hill, where we were again adj
mired and our fragrance inhaled, and at
night l shone like star in the raven
braids of my new mistrcss's hair in u ball
room. Her lovers hand placed me there,
and as he did So he bent and whispered
something in her ear, and then kissed the
rosy lips that looked so tempting. The

my pretty mates, but / felt sure | had
fallen into good hands, and felt proud
in having so beautiful a mistress, and
being so admired. When my mistress came
home and looked in the mirror she saw
my dropping head, for the heat in the
ballroom had made me faint and Ian
guild. She took me from her hair, and
said tenderly, as she held me in her
hand, "Poor wilted lily, I'm sorry you
faded so SOON" Then she put me in a
vase Of water, which refreshed and
strengthened me, and this morning when
she looked at me my white petals were
open once more, which made her exclaim:
"Ah, my pretty lily, you are alive yet,
amt you. But have lost some of my
fragrance, and know that before the
sun sets | shall be dead, for the life of a
lily is very frail. They say this is a cold
world, but "my lines have fallen in pleas
ant places" and am sure that when l

COlOring Roses.

A young man entered a Hartford
street car carrying three roses, one
white, one green and one salmon-col-
orcd They attracted much attention,
especially the green. The owner finally
explained that all were white that morn
ing, and that the coloring had been done
by putting the stems of one into green
ink, and the other into red ink. The
leaves were beautifully colored, and the
coloring would not rub off, but it seemed
as if nature had done the work. The
process only required ten minutes.

SIC TRANSIT GLORIA.

This world is full of people, who
Are always discontented;
Who, if they chance to buy a house,
Wish always they had rented.
Or, if they have one kind of name,
They wish they had another,
And when they have a sister come,
They wish it were brother.
Just such one was Mary Green,
Whose life was out of jingle;
SIZE thought she must become a wife
She'd ne'er be happy single.
She didn't like the name of Green,
And wanted some thing better,
So both her parents let her try
The matrimonial fetter.
Thus Mary Green gave up her name
And took that Of her master
Who made her life dreary one,
As long as it might last her.
"Alas," cr.e1 she, unhappy I,
These bonds ought to sever
Whv do stayl Though once so Green.
Pm greener now than ever"

A Lilliputian locomotive.

One of the finest exhibitions of the
patient ingenuity of skilled mechanics
is perfect reproduction of locomotive
made by Mr. Case, IA matchmaker of
Franklin, Penn From the point of the
cow-catcher to the end of the tank it is
six and one fourth inches long and weighs
two pounds 1t is finished in gold, sill
yer and steel, and to the most minute
part is perfect locomotive. Mr.. Case
has spent four years in building it. 1t
makes its own steam, pumps water into
the boiler, has throttle valve, bell sand
box and, in fact, lacks nothing found in
first t-class locomotive. Many locomo-
tive engineers have examined it and they
pronounce it perfect. Mr.. Case will have
a miniature track built and place it on
exhibition at the Cotton Centennial exhi
bitio4 in New Orleans.

The heart of one.
