A team of ponies attached to an express
wagon took run west on Douglas avenue
yesterday morning from point near the
Black hotel. They started at winning
pace, but ere they reached the intersection
of Main street they showed signs of distress
and struck much fore moderate gait. They
struck large stone in the road near the
Douglas Avenue hotel, which gave the wag-
on an elegant toss but all WAS intact when
they disappeared down south Water street.
The sensation of the adventure was the fran
tic efforts of a granger to drive his team out
the way of the flying chargers and the
figure he cut was laughabie If not artistic.

A letter received by Earnest Tee, . su- pervisor of Apache county, who is at pres ent visiting Prescott, states that on last Tuesday night the treasurer's safe of Apache county was broken into and all the records relating to tho issuance and payment of county warrants stolen and destroyed- portions of the re cords not bearing on war. rants being thrown away by the robbers. The robbery was undoubtedly done in order to destroy all evidence against parties in Apache county at present under indict- ments for frauds connected with the fnan. ces of that county.

Acting under orders from Secretary Endicott, workmen are removing all the Confederate flags from public view in the War Department and storing them ir
 vaults, where future visitors to the capi stal will only be allowed to see them ou special permission of the Secretary These flags have been on exlf6tsion ever since the war. There are about 300 oi them, including the famons .'blag flag hsistsd at the time of the Fort Pillow massacre. Thousands of people have gazed upon that small piece of blacs cambric and recalled the horrible scenes of which it is symbolic. But these flag: will be seen no more.

Whisky is . troublesome as we'll @ an expensive luxury. The American peo- pie pay annually 10 less than SS50, 900, = 900 for the 'fun" they get outof the consumption of liquors of sll kinds. They spend less than than that for bread and meat-the item s5O5, 900, 900 for bread and 3o3, ,o00, 900 for meat; but it would seem that these com mon articles are dencient in alcohol, or seme other properties found in whisky, wine and beer, and it requires sS50, ,000, 900 worth of liquids to wash down the solids.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The change of dough to bread is de-
clared by a French investigator, Anne
Girard, to be a transformation due to al
coholic fermentation.
A school of acrostatics is to be estab-
lished in France especial attention to be
given to teaching the use of the balloon
in military operations.
At an annual examination in botany
the London Society of Apothecaries gives
regularly gold and silver medal to the
young women taking first and second
rank.
From the Giffard bequest the French
government realizes about 100000 to
be used for the good of science. 1t is
probable that the various projects sug-
gested for expanding the money will be
submitted to the Academy of Sciences be-
fore action is taken.
From tests made by DR.. Fischer, the
German chemist, it appears that IN ordi-
nary domestic stoves, not more than 20
per cent. of the fuel consumed is utilized
in warming the rooms, whereas with gas
burning stoves 80 per cent. or more of the
possible effect is obtained.
An example of rapid stalactite forma-
ton appears at Quebec. st. Johns gate,
in the city, was rebuilt in 1867, of grey
ish limestone, and the constant dripping
of water from the crevices has already
formed regular stalactite deposits foot
and half in length and three-fourths of
an inch in diameter.
Spiders in Forestry. Spiders have been
found by DR.. G. Keller, of Zurich, to be
voracious destroyers of plant-preying in
sects, and he contends that they play a
more effective part in the preservation of
forests than all the insect-eating birds to-
gether. The value of the service rendered
by spiders has been shown by observations
on carviferous trees, few brOad-leaved
trees, and apple trees.
An Important Work.-A new map of
the solar spectrum has been completed by
Thollon after four years of incessant Ia
Dor at the observatory of Nice. The
chart comprises about one-third Of the
prismatic spectrum, is about 40 feet long
and includes 5000 lines, or double the
number in the best previous work.
Changes in these lines of the spectrum
tell certainly of changes in the sun, and
it has been the authors aim to make fu-
ture changes apparent by providing an
accurate record of the present state OF
the solar spectrum.
Essential Food of Plants.-While it is
positively known that plants require car
bon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen as
constituents of their food, there are sew
eral other elements found in plants whose
essential character is not so certainly
established. Some recent experiments
according to Mr.. T. Jameson, an English
chemist, furnish froof that sulphur is not
an essential, that even lime and magnesia
are of doubtful necessity, but that phos-
phorous and potassium are indispensable
Iron and chlorine occur IN plants, but
have little claim to be regarded as essen
tials.
