THIS SHOULD NOT BE.

No one pretends to deny that the
Bulletin, published by the Agricul-
tural Department, is valuable and
useful publication, but by going out
side and publishing other matter
than that pertaining to the work of
the Department, it comes in compe-
tition with the agricultural journals
of the State. This should not be
the case. The Bulletin is published
with the States money, and should
notcome in competition with indi-
vidnal industries.-Greenville Refee-

Mr.. Haskell promptly replied that if
any useful institution had been de-
stroyed by II great and extraordinary
calamity and appealed for aid he would
have no hesitation in voting for it.
DR.. Thomas. of Union. who like Mr..
Davenport, of Greenville, and Mr..
Archer, of Spartanburg, seemed hereto
fore to have been constitutionally op-
posed to all appropriations, surprised
the House and gladdened the hearts of
the Charleston delegation by support
ing the amendment in stirring and
eloquent speech.
The Rev. Mr.. Boozer, Lutheran min
lister of Edgefield, announced the start
ling fact that the physicians of the
State were responsible for great deal
of the privation and suffering that now
prevailed in South Carolina, mainly
through their exorbitant charges, and
cited as an instance the fact that in his
section S15 was the least fee charged
for Il midwife case.
Col. McKissick, of Union, said that
when reformers from Union voted for
the bill he thought the parsons from
Newberry and Spartanburg and the re-
form lawyer from Greenville might
cease their opposition to it. Five
thousand dollars, he said, would do no
more than buy ginger cake and half Il
glass Of persimmon beer for each man
in this Legislature.
The Rev. Mr.. Archer, of Spartanburg,
as usual, bitterly opposed the approprla-
ton. Col. Thomas, of Richland, spoke
in favor OF the amendment, and, = vote
being reached, the amendment was
agreed to-yeas 63, nays Al.
The opposition came principally from
Spartanburg, York, Edgetield, Marion,
Newberry, Laurens and .Abbeville.
This completed the list of amend
ments, and the bill was sent back. to
the Senate. y committee OF confer
ence will deal with it in future.

CURIOUS PHENOMENON.
A Strange Occurrence in South Americn-
Testimony of an Eye Witness.

A Strange Occurrence in South Americn-
Testimony of an Eye Witness.
To the Editor Of Scientific american /:
The following brief account OF a re-
cent strange meteorological occurrence
may he of interest to your readers as
an addition to the list of electrical
ecentricitleS
During the night of the 24th of
October last, which was rainy and
tempestuous, a family of nine persons,
sleep;ng in a hut few leagues from
Maracaibo, were awakened by Il loud
humming noise and a vivid, dazzling
light, which brilliantly illuminated the
interior of the house. The occupants,
completely terrOr-stricken, and belley-
ing. as they relate, that the end OF the
world had come, threw themselves on
their knees and commenced to pray,
but their devotiOnS were almost i'm
mediately interrupted by violent vomlt-
ings. and extensive sWellings COM
menced to appear in the upper part OF
their bodies, this being particularly
noticeable about the face and lips. IL
is to be noted that the brilliant light
was not accompanied hy 4 sensation OF
heat, although there was smoky ap-
pearance and a peculiar smell. The
next morning the swellings had sub
sided, leaving upon the face and body
large black blotches. No special pail
was felt until the ninth day, when the
skin peeled off, and these blotches were
transformed into yirulent raw sores.
The hair of the head fell off upon the
side which happened to be underneath
when the phenomenon occurred. the
same side of the body being, in all nine
cascS, the more seriously injured. The
remarkable part Of the occurrence IS
that the house WaS uninjurcd, all doors
and windows being closed ut the time.
No trace of lightning could afterward be
observed in any part of the building,
and all the sufferers unite in saying
that there was 10 dctonation, but only
the !cuh humming already mentioned.
Another curious attendant clrclln-
stance is th%t the trees around inc
house shove. 10 signs OF injury. untll
the ninth d., when they suddenly
withcrrti. al#.Gsc simultaneously with
the development Of the sores upon the
bodies Of The occupants Of the house.

Making Steel Rails.

William p. Hunt, the proprietor Of the
South Boston Iron works, where heavy
iron cannon are cast, was in the city
recently. He has been paying visit Of
inspection to the great iron and steel
works in Pennsylvania with a view Of
enlarging his experience. He remarked
that he regarded the Edgar Thompson
Steel works, near Pittsburg, as marvel
ous in their extent and excellence.
Among other things he said:
These works turn out enormous guam
titles of steel rails. They have five or
six blast furnaces where they make the
pig frog and eight or ten cupola fur
naces for mixing the iron. besides their
oonverters and other processes for treat
ing the metal before it reaches the COM
pieted state. watched them turning
rails with my watch in hand. In some
instances they brought out a rail in
twenty seconds. The steady average, !
think, would he about two rails min
ute. II was a marvel to me how they
could handle all the vast quantity Of
material that was required for this work.
They use 1000 tons OF iron ore a day,
1000 tons Of coal and large quantities Of
limestone 10 turn out 1000 tons of pig
iron. In all they handle nearly 5000
tons of material day. 1t is successfully
done through organized and system.

HOW VARIOUS AUTHORS WORK.
Ssstin Mccarthy and Dion Boucicauit-
Young Townsend and Howard saIA

Ssstin Mccarthy and Dion Bouclcault-
Young Townsend and Howard saIa-
Justin Mccarthy does most of his
writing between in the morning and
12 o'clock, noon. Dion Boucicault drinks
q pot of strong breakfast tea, eats bis
cult and goes to work between and 8
in the morning, finishing by s or 10.
Augustin DAILY rarely undertakes sus-
tanned literary labor until after lfo'clock
n night when the people are out Of his
theatre, and he can return in quiet to
the newspaper habits Of his early life.
He frequently pegs away until O'Clock
in the morning, writing with crooked
pointed pen that makes mark like the
trail Of Chicago girl.
John Russell Young is another night
writer, and he has curious habits. He
uses a fine pointed pen, makes very
small characters, and when engaged in
reflection draws his pen around between
the lines and words, making puddles Of
ink that give his manuscript the appear
ance of one of Schwatka's maps of
Alaska. George Alfred Townsend die
tates almost every line of his work to q
stenographer. So does Joseph Howard,
Jr.
George Augustus Sala writes with q
fine pen and makes manuscript so small
and close that it is read with difficulty.
6ala works in the morning, and some
times well along toward the middle of
the afternoon. Sardou, when he gets a
play into his mind, moves out to his
country residence, and neither sees nor
speaks to anybody until he is through
with it, Attached to his chateau there
is a library which opens on one side into
the hall, and on the other into the gar
den. II he grows tired of writing he
strolls out into the garden, and nobody
in the house knows whether he is at
work or not The only person allowed
to enter the library is waiting maid,
who brings Sardou his meals and places
his letters on the table, all without say
ing a word. He writes almost continu-
ously from Tat night, and his penman-
ship looks as though it were executed
with the point of a needle.
