at the age of 20 Calico began to discover.
His first discoveries were, of course, clumsy
and poorly made, but very soon he began to
turn out neat and durable discovery that
would stand for years.
1t was at this time that Calico noticed the
swinging of lamp in church, and, OBJ
serving that the oscillations were of equal
duration he inferred that this principle
might be utilized in the exact measurement
of time From this little accident, years
after, came the clock, one of the most useful
of mans dumb friends. And yet there are
people who will read this little incident and
still hesitate about going to church
Calico also invented the thermometer, the
microscope, and the proportional compass.
He seemed to invent things, not for the
money to be obta ned in that way, but solely
for the Joy of be ng first on the ground. He
was man Of infinite genius and persever-
ance. He was also very far in his treat
ment of other inventors. Though he did not
personally invent the rotary motion OF the
earth, he heartily indorsed it and SAID it was
a good thing. He also came out in card IN
which he said that he believed it to be good
thing, and that he hoped some day to see it
applied 70 the other planets.
He was also the inventor of a telescope
that had magnifying power Of thirty times.
He presented this to the Venetian senate
and it was used in making appropriations
for river and harbor improvements.
By telescope investigation Calico discov-
cred the presence of microbes in the moon,
but was unable to do anything for it.
have spoken of Mr. Calico all the way
through this article informally, calling him
by his first name, but l feel so thoroughly
acquainted with him, though there was such
a str king difference in our ages that am
almost justified in using his given name
while talking of him.
Calico also sat up nights and visited with
Venus through long telescope which he had
made himself from an old bamboo fishing
rod 9
But astronomy is a very enervating branch
of science. Calico frequently came down
to breakfast with red heavy eyes, eyes that
were swollen full of unshed tears. Still he
persevered. Day after day he worked and
tolled. Year after year he went on with his
task, till ne had worked out in his own mind
the satellites of Jupiter and placed a small
tin tag en- each one, so that he would know
# re idily when he saw it again Then he
began to look up Saturn's rings and investi-
gate the freckles on the sun. He did not
stop at trifes, but went bravely on till every
body came for miles around to look at him
and get him to write something funny in
their albums. 1t was not an unusual thing
for Calico to get up in the morning, after a
wearisJms night with a fretful newborn
star, to find his front yard full of autograph
albums

Some Hitherto Unpublished Facts About
This Inventor from Wayback.
Galilei, commonly called Calico, was born
at Pisa on the 145n day of February, 1854
He was a man who discovered some Of the
fundamental pri cip;es underlying TIE move
ments, habits, and personal peculiarities Of
the earth. He discovered things with mar
ve!ous fuency. Born, as be was, at time
when the rotary motion Of the earth was
still n its infancy, and astronomy taught
only in a crude way, Calico started in to
make a few discoveries and advance some
theories Of which he was very fond.
He was the son of a musician, and learned
to play several instruments himself, but not
in such a way as TO arouse the Jealousy OF the
great musicians Of his day. They came and
heard him play few selections, and then
they went home contented with their OWL
music.

IndeIgrOund Electric Gables.

Speaking of the experimental underground
electric cables which have been laid in Phila-
delphia, Electrician Walker says The cleo
tric light cable is covered with lead and is

cable is three-quarters of an inch in diameter,
both Of them weighing about twenty tons
We have had it i'm the service of the Brush
Lighting company for seven months, day

We have every reason TO believe that 1t will
accomplished its purpose perfectly. The
lights are to be furnished by the United
States Electric Light company at fifty cents
per night. The same system is now being
used in measure by New York, Washing
ton, Chicago and Pittsburg, and from inquir-
les l have found that it is giving complete
satisfaction. We have given these two cables
a severe test, and | have no doubt whatever
but that they will work as well AZ above
ground, providing they receive no mechani-
cal injury. Our cables are warranted by the
Pittsburg firm for two years This is the
starting OF underground wires in this city,
and l think that IL will prove satisfactory in
every respect and be the cause of placing all
telegraph and telephone wires under

From the Germantown Telegraph.
Ii a reasonable degree Of success is hoped
for In the cultivation oi root crops, they must
receive fair share OF attention. Even pota-
toes, from a little neglect, may be reduced
very much in yield, aud then coming to
onions carrots, beets and turnips, when neg
lected, a stronger is presented. AS a
general rule, any soil that Is possessed nat
urally OF high state OF fertility, or is reu-
dered 20 by means of manures, will give
growth to more or less weeds. And IL the
rule that cultivated crops and weeds applies
with any force I'm the growth OF ordinary field
crops, 1t applies with double force in the case
of root crops, and especially 50 with onions
for the reason that they have no heavy ioli-
age, which, by its overpowerlng influence,
aids in tho struggle for existence with the
growing weeds. That onions or carrots can
bo grown with weeds may not be denied but
1t can be said with very much truth that the
crop will be very much reduced. For that
reason the farmer had better attend to his
root crops H season, rather than 10 let the
weeds get such start as To get the lead, aud

Throwing RiCe at Weddings.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The danger of throwing rice at weddings
has Just been exempliiied. The Vicar Of st
James the Less, Bethnal-green, has for many
years solemn zed the ceremony of marriage
free to any who choose to avail themselves OF
his kindness 1t is usual for the friends
to wait outside aud give the couple
reception with shower OF rice
and to such an extent has the prac-
tice grown that the neighboring grocers
keep parcels ready packed for the occasion.
The brides are generally protected by the
wells, the bridegrooms are loss fortunate, aud
yesterday one OF them received several grains
in his eyes. Alter a vain attempt TO clear his
eyes he was led to a surgery ad djacent, and he
will now have to pass in the ward Oi hospital
what would have been his honeymoon. II
appears that this IL not by any means the
first serious accident caused in this way.
