ON June the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
introduce new air system of signals in their pas

use. When the air-brake was first used it was dis
covered that the pipes too SMALL and larger ones
put in. These old pipes viii be used to sig
nal from the conductor to the engineer when the
former wishes to stop the train. The pipes will
municate with small whistle in the engineers cab,
and the signal will be given by the conductor pulling
the rope which will hang on one side of the car. The
main advantage of this arrangement will be that it
will be difficult for the passengers to stop the
train. Trains quite often stopped by some ex-
cited intoxicated passengers and accidents like

The st. Petersburg Velocipede Association
has sent an invitation to an English bicycle
club to compete in number of great races at
st. Petersburg next month It is said that
the latter impudently replied, declining the
honor, but saying: 'Is however, you are
thinking of holding any races near Herat this
summer, we shall be glad of particulars, as
many of our best men expect to be near that
place in the course of few weeks" In view
of the humiliating back-down on the part of
England, this bit Of repartee is decidedly
asinine, though the st. Petersburg boys can
we'll afford to laugh at it. By the way, it
seems strange that people Enthusiastically
quiet, as the Russians are understood to be,
should take kindly to the bicycle.

PRIVATE SECRETARY LAMONT has re-
sumed his labors, but is overworked, as are
all the clerks and employees at the White
House, says Washington correspondent. It
will be remembered that Mr.. Lamont, in
enacting the role of new broom, swept out
several clerks as superfuous Immediately after
entering upon his duties at the executive
mansion. This was one of the reforms
heralded far and wide by admiring organs as
a sample Of others to come. When the places
of the dismissed employees are filled by others,
as must be the case soon, the probabilities are
that the same organs will not chronicle the
circumstance under double head lines

SOUTHERN papers are publishing letter
written by Gen. Robert f. Lee, in February,
1865, recommending the enrolment and en-
ployment of negro troops by the confederate
authorities He thinks they would make
good soldiers "under certain conditions" and
that their habits of obedience " lid consti-
tute good foundation for discipline He also
urges that freedom be promised to those who
will volunteer to serve the Confederacy. If
this is intended to convince the Southern ne
groes that Lee was one of their best friends,
as seems to be the purpose, it will probably
fail Of effect. The memory of the ex-slave
runs back to the time when the Emancipation
Proclamation was issued to them from another
source, and with no condition attached.

So many crazed women are attempting to
late, and so many accomplish their object
without hindrance, that rescue of innocents
so threatened is a surprise. Further particu-
lars in regard TO the case of Mrs. Pfantz, of
Lititz, Pa, whose death with two of her
children was mentioned day or two since,
shows surprising heroism on the part of her
ten -year-old son. The mother had taken her
five children to walk by the bank of the mill
pond The boy in question she suddenly
pushed into the water and instantly threw the
three younger ones after him, finally leaping
in herself, with the baby in her arms. The
boy, who could SWIM, rescued brother and
sister, and with much difficulty dragged
his mother to the bank, where she sat, still
with the infant in her arms, as if dazed.
Again the manly lad Owed into the water and
brought out the other child, girl of three
but too late to save her life. He then ran for
aid, taking the two older children with him,
and begging for the baby, which his mother
his father, the woman had again entered the
water, and was taken out dead. The child
had done what he could, and though he had
not saved all, what he did accomplish was
sufficient to render him worthy Of cross of
honor.

THE seventeen-year locust appears during
The last half of May and leaves about the 4th
of July; the eggs hatch between the Goth Of
July and the 1st of August. The eggs are
deposited in pairs in the ends of the branches
of various trees, commonly the oak. The
larvae hatch out in about six weeks after they
are laid. and the newly Matched larvae drop to
the ground in which they live, feeding ON the
roots of trees for nearly seventeen years as
wingless grubs The pupa state lasts but a
few days. When about to change to the
and make cylindrical burrows firmly cement
ed and vanished so as to be waterproof
The pup@ extend these galleries in low and
wet places from four to six inches above the
ground, living in the top story until their wings
grow, when they drop down to the ground
level, and come out as full fedged locusts.
The young Larvae feed on the roots of the
oak and apple, clustering at the roots, sucking
the sap with their beak-like mouths. Differ
emit broods appear in different localities, so
that each year they are seen in some part of
the country.
The seventeen year lecusts are not of the
grasshopper order, to which the migratory and
Western locusts belong, but are classed
with the true "bugs;;' the plant lice. bed-bugs,
body-lce. and the like. The bark-lice and
chinch-bug, the squash-bug and bird-lice are
of the same order as the locust. The seven
teen-year locusts are large and wedge shaped,
with large, broad head and prominent eyes.

Ids. CouHtry GeHtlemat :
The United States Bureau Of Agrieultu-
raj Chemistry, under Professor Wiley. has
been making many examinations Of butter
and several facts have resulted from the
proiracted labor The amount Of water
present in butter j. variable In one case
the per cent. of water was 3j.l2; usually ii
varies between seven and fourteen per cent.
Unsaited butter holds more water than that
which Is salted. The average amount Of
salt in butter is about two per cent. The
writer has tasted Of brands" when it
seemed as if there was about two per cent
Of butter and the rest was salt. There is a
temptation TO add more salt than is palatable
as il costs 50 very much less than but
ter.
Professor Wiley finds butter fat has
greater specific gravity than lard, tallow
and the other common animal fats. The
weight Of butter fat is a little over nine
,enths tina, Of water at the same tempera-
iure
There should be grave doubt. says Prof.
Wiley, in the last issue Of Science, ''of the
purity Of butter, if the specific gravity Of
the fat should fall below 0.909." The
specific gravity test is, il would seem. most
important one, and it is hoped that toe
method Of making the determination may be
so simplifed that it will be within the reach
Of every butter-buyer.
Another method Of determining the pur-
lily OF butter is by the use of an alkali, and
the making Of soap cut Of the fats present.
The arbitrary figure that represents pure
butter in this method is 24j. For tallow
and lard they are $50 and PSI In some
tests of oleomargarne the numbers obtained
were PSI and 2S2
\ still greater difference between genu-
inc and bogus buffers is shown by de-
termination Of the gycerides of fat acids
In thirty analyses Of pure butter the per
cents. varied between i.i9 and 566. Tai
low and lard show only traces of these sub
stances. The highest per cent. in ole
omargarine was 0.j6, lowest 0.20 Prof
Wiley considers this The most certain
method of determination. and ii is not diff
cult. He says that sample of butter hav-
ing no more than four per cent. Of the acids
is "open 10 condemnation"
Polarized light and selenite plate pro-
duce uniform red tint with pure melted
butter. Under similar circumstances adul-
terated butter presents a notified "field"
under the polarizer. This is certainly a
rapid method of testing butter, but requires
some OUTLAY for instruments and carefulness
in manipulation.
These analyses show that there are diff
ferences in the nature of genuine butter and
the bogus article, and the time is not far
distant when oleomargarine will need to
sail under its own colors or not sail at all.
A rapid, conclusive test that is available 10
all is at present the great desderatum of
every conscientious butter dealer in the
land. B. ID. H.
