The Aurora Borealis.

What is the aurora borealis? many
men have asked and asked in vain.
Scientific ~personages have been much
interested in the matter. 1t was as
participation in the work of the inter-
national polar research expedition that
Herr TromhOlt visited the most distant
regions of the European continent. His
task was to take observations of the re-
markable phenomenon known as the
aurora borealis, OF northern lights, and
principally in conjunction with the
Norwegian station at Bossekop in Fin
marker, and the Finnish one at Sedan
kyla, in the very heart of the wilds of
Finland, to effect the. measurements
for determining the height of the phe-
nomenon above the earth's crust. Sci
ence, he owns, is still at fault; but, in
answer to popular hypothesis, it can
declare that the aurora borealis is not
sunshine reflected from the ice fields of
the arctic regions, o the ref1ec-
ton of sunshine on the surface of the
sea, Q the reflection of sunrays in ice
crystals suspended. in the upper. strata
of the air. Further, science tells us
that the aurora borealis is of electrical
nature, and closely related to the mag
netic forces of the earth. While our
author was at his post every night the
aurora borealis appeared; at any rate,
there. was not a. single clear evening
when it was absent. Sometimes it fill
ed the whole sky; often its displays
were confined to insignificant and faint
phenomenon, low in the north, lust
like those observed in Southern Scan
dinavia; but sometimes they obtained
a magniticence which detied dcscrip-
ton. He came to the conclusion that
the great many different forms might
certainly be reduced to a few simple
ones. In most instances the aurora
forms belts: or zones, which stretch
across the earth in the direction of the
magnetic east-west, which zones are
formed by a conglomeration of thin
sheets of luminous matter, ranged one
behind the other, their direction being
parallel with the inclination needle.
The luminous matter in these sheets is
even, or diffusc, or divided into stream-
ers. The red color in the lower edges
OF ares and bands often undergoes re-
markable changes and becomes GRIM
son, OF purple, or pink, or red-ocher,
OR violet. The light, however, is weak
er than was to be expected.-Literory

A Head of Expenses.

Three or four COMMERCIAL travellers
were seated, in the smoking car anus
ing themselves as commercial travellers
are wont to do. Their conversation
was not altogether of the price of goods
or the probabilities Of orders, but &C.
casionally turned to the fair sex.
"By the way" said one Of the dunn
mers, .before you boys came aboard l
was back in the next coach, and l saw
there q magnificent girl-as pretty as
a picture; l was crazy to get acquaiht-
ed with her, but she wouldn't have INV
foolishness. Run back and take a look
at. her"
Of course the other drummers sam
tered back, and on their. return were
loud in their praises of the strangers

"Boys." said the first speaker, ''I'm
willing to confess it's a clean case Of
love at first sight with me, and, lust to
get up my courage, I'll wager any one
OF you or the whole party S. that be-
tore we get to indianapolis I'll be sit
ting beside that girl and she'll rest her
head lovingly on my shoulder"
The other drummers were so eager
for the ''snap" that they quarreled as
to which one should Hold the Stakes.
The fottr five dollar bills were deposited
with the fourth mar Us stakeholder,
and the smitten wagerer threw away
his cigar and. started for the other car.
telling his companions to keep watch
of him.
They watched him. As he entered
the coach the fair stranger was reading
a novel. He walked boldly to her side
and spoke TO her. She looked up.

room for him, and when he had seated

half an; hour the. lucky. commercial
traveller drew from his pocket another

several confederate corporals of the SD

Gen. Grant did.
At that time Gen. Grant was return

was a prospective candidate for a third

She was right about it. ] did not lie
around calmly and smoke and boss
things. l took the children to sec the
funeral.
There was indeed quite a crowd
around city hall. I met several per-
sons 1 had never seen before. Among
others there were about two hundred
different men who offered to present
me with Gen. Grants picture. There
were others who offered me badges and
medallions. 1t wa evident there was
no longer any north or south, so I said
to myself: "Sheridan and Joe john

hold out any longer" and when the
next man held out a badge, to me 1 ac-
copied 1t gracefully, and said that [

man.

mind in order to promote the best in

"A Cat That Will Last Forever.

"Oh, yes, madam. l know the af-
lection a lady can have for her favor.
lite cat, and I'll do it up nice for YOU,
you may be sure" These were the
last words, as overheard by a Wash
ington Post reporter, of a conversation
between Mr.. Frederic S. Webster and
a charming young lady who had called
on him at his taxidermic studio.
YES" said the artist to the report
er after the lady had left. ''that young
lady's favorite cat died lately, and she
is in a heap of trouble about it,"
why, hasn't she got it buried
yet?"
Lord, sir! she'd faint if anyone
spoke to her about burying it."
"Why, very few persons care much
about cats. dead or alive, and I should
have thought that everyone, without
an exception, would like to have a
dead cat buried as quickly as posi-
ble."
Sir" said the taxidermist, 1.-THE
dead cat is the apple of that young
ladies eye. She must have it preserv-
ed, and is very particular how It, is
done. She thinks of nothing else. I
have it skinned and a plaster cast
taken of its head. You know the
plaster cast of the head is. an impor-
tant part of the work. The body is
composed chiefly Of wood, with a COW
ering of clay, nodded carefully and
exactly to the natural shape, same as
the sculptors make their models, you
know. The clay at first is soft for
molding into the desired shape, but
when we have worked it to the proper
shape we leave it to harden. In a lit
tie while it grows as. hard almost as a
stone.
"Then we take the skin out of the
alum bath, which eats away the fatty
substance and removes every element
of decay, and when this is properly
stretched oyer the mannikin Gas We
call the artificial body) and the plaster
cast of the head we have the natural
form Of the body in perfection, aud the
correct impression of the face. The
skin, after the chemical process we
put it through; will never change a
little, and we have a cat that will last
till doomsday. The alhm bath in this
case is the Essential preservative, but
we don't Use the alum bath in every
case. 1t is very good for a cat but we
could not submit The brilliant plumage,
say Of a bird Of paradise or d golden
pheasant like those you see over there,
to its operation"

CH0LERA-INFECTED RAISINS.
The RaiSin-GrOwers Of California Looking
Out for Number 0ne

SAN FRANCISCO Sept 2.-Considerable excite
ment has been caused among importers of
groceries of this city by statements tending to
show the existence of scheme to introduce
cholerainfected raisins into the United States.
1t appears that one of the leading houses in the
trade on the Pacific Coast has advices from its
agent in New York stating that one of the
largest buyers of imported raisins has just
received dispatch from Malaga, stating that
the product this year is very large and of excel
lent quality, and that the presence of cholera in
Spain will not act as an impeachment in the way
of shipment to the United States. This is
alleged to have been accompanied by letter of
William Smith, health officer of the port of New
York, to the firm of importers, in which he says
that fruits gathered in infected districts, but
packed and shipped from non-infected points,
will not on that account subject vessel to delay
at quarantine This refers directly to the i'm
port of raisins from Malaga and Denia. Refer
ring to these statements, prominent men in the
fruit trade and experienced packers declare that
there is great danger of the introduction of
cholera microbes in raisns from the infected
districts of Spain, as packed fruit easily absorbs
microbes. and retains them for great length of
time.
