At a recent meeting of the French
Academy of Sciences at Paris,. plate
half filled with water, In which were half
dozen insects about an inch In length
which shone like diamonds, although the
room was filed with. .srnshine, v s passed
around among the members. These in
sects had been brought from Mexico,
where they are to be found In the forests.
Their scientific name is the pyrophore
and, us none had ever been seen before In
Europe, they created quite q sensation.
The light resembles that of glowworm,
or FREELY, although as much more bril-
liant and intense as an electric lamp sur.
passes wax taper In its power Of illumi-
nation. When the light begins to fade,
1t can be made as brilliant as before by
shaking the insect, or dipping 1t in water.
1t is said that the Indians of Mexico use
them for light ut night, ss few will
suffice to illuminate an entire room
When they are walking al night, they
put one on each each foot, so that they
do not step upon any venomous snake or
reptile. with which the tropical forests
abound. The Mexican ladies buy them
OF the Indians, and inclose them in a
transparent bag, which they wear in their
hair or at the neck. The effect is very
beautiful, especially when several are
worn, and, as the Indians sell them for q
few cents dozen, they are within the
reach of every fair one. They are fed on
sugar-cane, and, II we'll tsken care of,
will live long time. One placed upon a
page will enable 1t to be read with ease in
the darkest night.

Tom Paine's Bones.

1 see a statement to the effect that Cob
bet, after taking the exhumed bones of
Thomas Paine from America to England,
left them at a warehouse in Liverpool,
"and no one knows what became of them"
The facts are that Goblet took the bones
to his own house in Farnham, where they
remained slowed away" till after Cob
bets death in 1885, when his estate, real
and personal, went under the hammer.
At the sale the box was brought into the
upper hall Of the house. no one knowing
the contents of the package. On opening
it a plate plainly told what was packed
underneath. The auctioneer, on reading
the plate, uttered an exclamation of
establishment at the discovery, and then
said: Il have never sold human flesh, and
never Will sell human bones" Where
upon the lid was again nailed on and the
box removed. Such IS the account Of the
affair as read by the undersigned, now
over fifty years ago. Doubtless there are
those living Of Cobbets grandchildren,
and perhaps other persons, who know
what at least was done with the bones Of
the author hero of the American revOlu-
ton Utica Herald.

The English kornl Family.

Taking it for granted that all the sons
Of princes inherit the title ad infnitum,
people frequently express surprise that
England is not overrun with princes of
the royal family. This is altogether an
erroneous supposition. The grandchildren
of the Younger sons of the sovereign have
no claim TO the prefix Of royal highness,
and in the following generation, with the
exception of the eldest son, become mere
cOmmOuers. Thus the present duke of
Cumberland, who is a great grandson Of
George III. has no right to the title of
royal highuess in England, and his
younger son, who was born last year, is a
commoner who merely bears the courtesy
title of lord, generally conceded to dukes
younger sons. His son will he plain Mr.
Guelph, without any title at all In no
other reigning family Of Europe do so
democratic usages exist as in that Of
Queen NictoTia.-Loudon Letter.
