A German test for watered milk consists in dipping a well-polished knitting needle into deep vessel of milk, and then immediately withdrawing it in an upright position. If the milk is pure, a drop of the fluid will hang to the needle; but the addition of even a small proportion of water will prevent the adhesion of the drop.

The Secretary of War has decided that a general court martial has no authority to punish a civilian witness for contempt of Court in refusing to answer questions in a case on trial. Tle matter came up on the refusal of District Attorney in Texas to testify in the trIal of Capt. Smith and Lieut.. Payne, at Fort Clark, for gambling row.

The building for the Territorial Normal School at Tempe, Tn Mari copa county, is now in process of construction, and it is expected that the school will open in Feb ruary next, if the necessary twenty pupils can be secured. The site selected for the school is a half mile from Hayden's ferry at Tempe, on slightly knoll and in a beautiful and attractive spot. The last Legislature appropriated S5,000 for the construction of the building and for furnishing it, and also levied tax of 2 cents upon each hundred dollars as sessed valuation of real and per sonal property in the Territory, for a Normal School Fund. This, at the present valuation, will yield about 5000 per year, a sum that IS deemed sufficient for present needs. Upon the admission of Arizona as State, an endowment of twenty sections of school lands will be set apart for the Normal School. Each member of the Territorial Legislature is author ized to nominate pupil, every two years, who will be entitled to free tuition, and others will be admitted free of tuition charges upon sign ing declaration of his intentions to teach school in the TerritorJ after graduating. For others the rates will be very low.-Citizen.

The Arrangements in England's Chief
City for distinguishing Fires.
London is divided for fire purposes
into four districts, each garrisoned
with 100 or l40 men-a force strong
enough to deal with the individual dis
TT ct fires. They are the A, compris-
ing Westminster, Kensington, Bays
water, and, writing roughly, the whole
of the West End; the B, the center,
including the city; the c, the East
End, and the d, the whole of the
south side of the river, in which the
headquarters. in the Southwark Bridge
Road, are situated. Over each of
these districts there is Superin-
tendent connected with headquarters
by telegraph, and in most cases by
telephone, and himself connected with
all the stations over which he has
superintendent, for the discipline
and efficiency of VIII oh he is di-
rectly responsible to his chief No
station, with one except OH, is tele-
graphically connected with another;
every order passes from or through the
Superintendent, even if sent by the
chief. The one exception is n favor of
the two nearest stations of two dis
tricts. For instance, the station near
est in District A is connected with the
nearest station in District B, and the
nearest in District d, but the connec-
ton is never made use of unles. there
occurs fire on some point between, n
which case both stations communicate
and turn out. The connection is, of
course, also employed if there be a
break down of communicat on, such as
frequently occurs, between the Office o.
the Superintendent of the district
where the station is situated and
headquarters. This system OF
communication by telegraph and tele-
phone, now rapidly approaching COM
pletion, is, as far at any rate as the
telephone is concerned, the growth of
only the last few years, for it was in the
early part of 1880 that the Edison Com
pany gratuitously established tele-
phonic communication between the B,
G., and ID districts and headquarters.
The omission of the A district (the
West Endl was caused by the necessity
of laying underground wires. an ex-
pense the company could hardly be ex-
pected to bear. The telephone now in
use is the Gower-Bell, for the postal

TABLE TURNING.
A Phenomenon Not Necessarily Connected

A Phenomenon Not Necessarily Connected
with spiritualism.
''You said short time ago that you
had become converted about something.
What was thatp' Table turning. "
What, Mr.. Maskelync! do you really
p" Yes, l do, most emphatically;
and think that is sufficient proof Of
my unprejudlced mind. After my
twenty years experience in investigat-
ing spiritualism have never seen any,
thing take place which l could not re-
produce and account for except the
gyrations of table upon two occas ons.
On one of these without the presence
of q medium. by myself and few
friends, we produced movements OF the
table-a heavy one-which we could
not accomplish afterward by exerting
all the muscular force at our command.
am satisfied that there was no trick,
cry here, and equally so that the scen-
titic explanation gwen by Faraday
does not in the 81 ghtest degree account
for the phenomenon. l believe, in my
own mind, that it must have been some
psychic or nerve force which passed
from our own bodies and neutralizad
the laws of gravitaton; that is mat
ter, however, l leave to the scientists to
determine. But because can not find
satisfactory solution of the phenome-
non, | am not going to accept tho
spiritualists' explanation that it was my
grandfather's spirit which got under
that table and hoisted it up for his own
and my delectation!"-ESH Mall Co.
