A Light-Giving Mexican Insect.

At recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences at Paris a plate half filled with water, in which were half dozen insects about an inch in length, which shone like diamonds, although the room was filled with sunshine, was passed around among the members. These in- sects had been brought from Mexico, where they are to be found in the for ests. The scientific name is the pyro- phore; and, as none had ever been seen before in Europe, they created quite sensation. The light resembles that of a glow-worm or fire-fy, although as much more brilliant and intense as an electric-light surpasses wax taper in it's power of illumination. When the light begins to fade it can be made as brilliant as before by shaking the in- sect or dipping it in water. It is said the Indians of Mexico use them for light at night, and few will suffice to illuminate an entire room. When they are walking at night they put one on each foot so that they can be sure of their way, and also that they do not step on any venomous snake or reptile, with which the tropical forests abound. The Mexican ladies buy them of the h. dians 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 few cents a dozen, they are within the reach of every fair one. They are fed on sugar. cane, and if well taken care of will live long time! One placed upon a page will enable it to be read with ease in the darkest night-Scientifc American.

Cruelty to Animals.

Some people object entirely to experi- ments upon animals. They do this chiefly on two grounds. The first is that such experiments are useless, and the second that, even if they were use- full, we have no right to inflict pain upon animals. The first objection is due to ignorance. Almost all our exact knowl- edge of the action of drugs on the var ious organs of the body, as well as the physiological functions of these organ isms themselves, has been obtained by experiments on animals. Their second objection is one which, if pushed to its utmost limits and steadily carried out, would soon drive man off the face of the earth. The struggle for existence is constantly going on, not only between man and man, but between man, the lower animals, and plants, and mans very being depends upon his success. We kill animals for food. We destroy them when they are dangerous, like the tiger or cobra, or destructive, like the rat or mouse. We oblige them to work for us for no reward but their food, and we urge them on by whip and spur WHICH, Ullcy VI AVN one would think of blaming the messen- ger who should apply whip and spur tc bring a reprieve, and thus save the life of a human being about to die on the scaffold, even although his horse should die under him at the end of the journey Humane people will give an extra shil ling to a cabman in order that they may catch the train which will takt them to soothe the dying moments of g friend, without regarding the conse quences to the cab-horse. Yet if one tenth of the suffering which the horse has to endure in either of the case jus mentioned were to be inflicted by { physiologist in order to obtain the knowl edge which would help to relieve th'
 suffering and lengthen the life, not O one human being only but of thousands many persons would exclaim agains him. Such objections as these are du'
 either to want of knowledge or want o thought on the part of people who mak
 them. They either do not know thu
 benefits which medicine derives iron
 experiment., or they thoughtlessly, (some
 times, perhaps, willfully,) ignore tn
 evidence regarding the utility of expert
 ment. -BrWntoas's Rharmacology.

Kate Vaughan's Dancing.

The whole of young London is now repairing to Her Majesty's Theatre to see Miss Kate Vaughan dance in the Italian ballet, Excelsior. What a wonderful thing is individual attraction! This self-same ballet has been running now for many months. Two Italian dancers of the first excellence have ex- erted themselves with praiseworthy en- thusiasm night after night, and per formed heroic acts of endurance, but the public have never shown any mark ed and strong delight in an excellent entertainment until an English artist and dancer floats on from the wings and tantalizes her admirers with scarcely five minutes of the poetry of motion. Miss Kate Vaughan's charm is patent; it is evidently irresistible; and it is a good sign. Taste cannot be in very depraved condition when with such sim plicity and so little effort the art of dane. ing in its purest form can be so sin cerely appreciated.
 Then, fin one moment, she put forth the charm Of woven paces and of waving hands.
 This is the singular art of this ex. traordinary lady. She does not beat with her feet; she floats about it. Others perplex themselves with effort; she glides unconsciously. With her it is not dance, but a dream. And all London goes to see it. That one short spell of "airy fairy" movement is worth all the superhuman effort of Limidc and the wondrous gyrations of Gee. chetti--excellent as they both are. What matter, however, in what form art is displayed on the stageP How infinitly preferable the days of the poetic Kate Vaughan to those of the crude caperings and caraccles of "Wiry Sal" Aures temps, autres m@urs.

GENERAL CROOK.

The fact that the Apache scouts, en,- ployed by General Crook, are treacher' ous and do everything in their power to assist the renegades is we'll known and has. been, commented upon time and again in the newspapers of this section. Fresh evidence of the truth of these as- sertions is found in an interview with three prominent citizens of New Mexico, which is published in the San Francisco Call. These gentlemen, referring to the occasion of the attack on Lieutenant Fountains command, when Dr. Maddox and four soldiers were killed, say: When nearing narrow canon on Dry Creek the scouts rode on couple of hundred yards in advance. The scouts passed through the worst part of the canon all right, but as the soldiers entered in a volley was poured into them from both sides of the creek bed, and, becoming panic-stricken, the command dashed down the canon in confusion. Dr. Mad dox, of Fort Bayard, who was riding be-. side Lieutenant Fountain, was mortally wounded, and four privates were killed. As soon as the firing began, instead of turning to aid the soldiers, the scouts threw. themselves from their saddles, and waiting by the side of the road, let the routed troops dash by them, on down the creek. From his position in the brush, Burke saw some of the scouts hold consultation with some of the hos tiles who appeared, and also saw one scout give the ambushers hat full o cartridges.
 It is impossible that General Crool should be unaware of the damning fac, ofhis scouts treachery, confirmation O which occurs almost daily. Why, in the face of such indisputable evidence, he should continue to employ these friend: and relatives of the renegades, to throw obstacles in the way of his troops ant betray them to the enemy, is more thar any ordinary mind can fathom. Hi. action in this respect alone should b. sufficient to ensure his removal. Yet, 1T the face of this, the Star gravely assert: that the announcement of Crooks re moval has "created both surprise ant disappointment among our people" ane that Crook is just on the point of ending the campaign. He has been jus. on thu point of ending it for eight months, ane is apparently not any nearer the resul than he was last May.
 Our people lare thoroughly weary o this bloody farce and hail with deligh the prospect of change of any descrip tion, feeling thoroughly assured that i cannot possibly be for the worse.

Prospects of ssoms Rule.

LONDON, Jan. 7.-Liberal opinion is still greatly divided on the home rule question. In fact, opinion in general in England is a complete hodge-podge, which may play into the Tsries' hands and possibly even compyl Mir. Gladstone to draw in his horns. The chief Liberal press agency, which sends London cor respondence and editorial matter to the provincial Liberal press, has received re. quests from many quarters to modify its direct advocacy of Gladstone's home rule scheme. It is said that the public declarations of hostility to Gladstone's Irish Parliament scheme, coming from such tried and loyal supporters as Ire velyan and other Liberal leaders who have always hitherto proved stanch al- lies, have greatly surprised MT. Glad. stone. He was prepared for the deser. ion of such men as the Duke of Argyle and Goschen, who repeatedly kicked over the party traces, and even of Har- tington, Harcourt, Cowper, Derby and Forster, whose interests and connections, or personal prejudices, tie them to the unpopular side. Gladstone's hold with the rank and file of the advanced wing has not been lessened by these deAec. tions, but strengthened.
