1naia,s wheat and Petroleum.

The railways in India are opening up
such immense tracts of land suitable for
the cultivation of wheat as to threaten to
revolutionize the European trade in that
cereal, and recent test operations made
in the Bolan pass with facilitate the work
ing of these roads with cheap petroleum
instead Of dear coal. They show that
there is sufficient petroleum there Of the
best4uality to suffice both as fuel for all
the frontier railways and for Illuminating
purposes throughout northern India.
Judging, too, from experiences in Amer-
lea and in Asiatic Russia, other beds are
pretty sure to be discovered in the adja-
cent district. Upper Burmah is also be-
lieyed to be full of petroleum, and
thus, almost simultaneously, the In
dian empire comes into possession
of two fresh sources of fuel sup
ply-one at the northern extremity and the
other far south. Some of the engines on
the Pishin railway are already being
adapted to burn petroleum instead Of
wood, and We may soon expect to hear Of
the former being used by the Indus flotflla.

English as She should Be sung.

Why not sing songs in English, and also
sing them in better English? 1t is a
shame that, with The great wealth of En-
glish poetry, so many composers prefer to
pour forth imitation German Leider, and
SO many young students prefer to make
havoc in the Teutonic or Italian language,
rather than sing sensibly in their W
mother tongue. When these students do
condescend to MARBLE in the ~vernacu1ar
they disguise the language SO thatit can
not be understood. They have been told
that English is a hard language to sing in,
and therefore they mouth and distort
words under the mistaken impression
they are rendering it easier.
The fact is, the English requires a little
more study to deliver f~luently than Ital.

of the Electrio Telerraph

The Charlotte IN. C.) observer of recent
date publishes q column interview by its
Washington correspondent with Junius
Lynch Clemmons, clerk of the river and
harbor committee Of the house of repre-
sentatives, who asserts that he is the orig
inal inventor of the electric telegraph.
Mr.. Clemens says that he invented the
system in 1885, and communicated his dis
ccveEy to a Mr.. Page, VINO was in the
pttent office, and who had become emil
nent as an electrician. Page did not
answer the letter, and eleven years after
took out a patert on the discovery, and
associated Morse and Amos Kendall with
him. The company applied to congress
for aid to develop the discovery, and the
world knows the result.
.Clemmons claims only the original in
vention, but gives Morse credit for its de-
yelopment He concludes the interview as
follows; 81 would not pluck a single leaf

Cultivation of Plants in Rooms.

The Willimantic Thread company some
time since accidentally illustrated the IN
fuence of plants IN the atmosphere. The
nature of the operations Of this company
demanded q reasonable and constant
humidity of the atmosphere in their shops.
To obtain this they had employed two men
and q spraying machine, but Col. Barrows,
desiring to increase the comfort and
pleasure of his operatives, commenced the
cultivation of plants around the factory,
and placed many in the rooms, employing
one gardener to take care of them. The
atmosphere was at once changed in
character; the spraying machine was no
longer needed, one mans wages were
saved, and the operatives were surrounded
by beautiful flowers and their lives made
more pIeasant.-Chicago Herald.

EXPERIMENTS IN EXPLAINING.
Several Operations which Were Not Sue
cessfnl-A Rabbit,s Eye.

tS0St H.tfrL-E
In May, 1885, DIR. Chilbert made the at
tempt to transplant a living rabbits eye to
the ~eye-socket of a person. A girl of IL
years of age had n grape-swelling upon
her eye which made its remoyalnecessary.
AS soon as the eye was taken out the doc
tor instantly removed the rabbits eye,
leaving around the corner the narrow edge
of the ligature. Washing it in an anti
septic solution he then placed it in the eye
socket of the patient, sewing the ligature
to that of the patients eye wish a few
stitches. The eye appeared to livelf for q
while, but the liquid flowed out, and the
operation was not a success. The shell,
however, remained i its place, and looks
like the remains of the hnman eye.
Soon after Terrier, Rohmer, and
finally Bradford, of Boston, made
similar experiments. Terrier first OPP
Grated upon a strong, healthy man,
whose eye had been hurt by an ACCT
dent. Instead of removing the sclerotic-
the cell liquid which surrounds the eye
he kept it there, but in spite of this pre-
caution the experiment failed. The pa
tient of Rohmer was a m 46 years
old. Instead of u rabbits eye, this sur
geon took a dogs eye for his experiment.
The result was less successful than that of
the others, but the shell of the eye re-
manned living several days, when, becom-
ing infiamed, it was removed, fearing the
other eye might suffer from its presence.
Mr.. Bradford, of all the e-xperimenters,
seems to have met with the most success.
He operated upon the eye of q sailor, who
for years o been troubled with an in
durable eye disease. Increasing the num-
Der of stitches in joining the ligatures, he
also succeeded in uniting the optic nerves
of the mans eye, and the rabbits, finish
ing with a bandage over the eye, which
was not removed until the lapse of seven
days. At the end of this time the eye
seemed pretty firm in its socket, but the
cornea appeared Opaque. Eighteen days
after thec ornea became transparent, the
eye solid, and its movements natural. The
operation vas a perfect success except in
one important particular.
AS will be seen, cye-transplanting has
not reached the certainty Of surgical sue
cess, as when the eye is restored the
restoration of the eyesight is out Of the
question, the operation merely replac-
ing a lost eye with an animals
eye. The operations fail far below
the expectations the enthusiasts had
| attached to them, SO that the time when
| we can change the color of eyes as WI
| can the.color of our hair or theform of our
teeth has not yet arrived. However, il
may come, as the inventive spirit Of man
is travelling upon various roads just at the
present time.-Foreign Letter.

The First One Cent Daily Paper.

1t is not generally known that Horace
Greeley edited the first 1-cent daily news
D ever published in this or any other
country. 1t was sold at one cent until
heal the close of its brief career, though
is owner, DR.. Horace d. Shepard, was
gery desirous it should be put at that
price from the start. Shepard got his
dea from the rapidity with which he had
noticed that anything and everything
hat cost only 1 cent was sold in Chatham
street fifty odd years g He had very
little money; but he was so confident of
success, if the thing was once begun, that
g went to The Spirit of the Times office,
where Greeley was then a young compos-
tor, and asked him to be its editor. The
clever typesetter declared that 2 cents was
ihe lowest rate that would sustain q daily
paper, and he supported his statements
With SO many solid reasons that The
Morning Post appeared January, 1S43, at
The figure named. The bantling had q
ieal ofillluck; but still sold several hu7l-
lred copies daily. On the third day Of
;he third week it received its quietus,
having been put off several days at ! cent.
The demand was SO much larger that the
owner believed that, if it had been sold at
hat price from the beginning, it would
nave prospered.
Francis V. Story, who was Greeley's
partner, read the doctor a very severe lee
cure on the madness of his scheme. In
Iced, everybody made the II told you so"
comment except Greeley, who tried to
comfort Shepard, telling him not to mind
what Story said. Min months after the
Sun was issued for l cent, and, as every
body knows made a fortune. The doctor
is said to have planted the seed which pro-
luced that financial fruit. He had ex-
planned his plan to a printer, who repeated
it to the proprietors of the new undertake
ing witt q practical result.-New York

CHANGING through a Philadelphia news.
paper few days ago my attention was
arrested by brief paragraph, dated at
an interior town in that State, which
read as follows:
Isaac Taylor, former citizen of this
place, committed suicide last night by
hanging. Mr.. Taylor had been employed
until recently as clerk in the treasury
department at Washington, D. Gu
Taylor was one of the characters of
Washington. Thirty years of his life
Che was sixty at the time of his death)
were spent in travel and adventure. He
had visited every habitable country on
the globe. He spoke half dozen Ian.
guages fuently, and was one of the most
delightful conversationalsts | have ever
known. He made the overland trip to
California in his early youth. In SaE
Francisco he joined a party of Americans
bound for the Sandwich Islands. While
en- route Taylor discovered that the OBJ.
ject of the expedition was the overthrow
of the existing monarchy in those lands
and the formation of a new government
There was a rebellious spirit ahoat in the
kingdom, and the adventurous foreigners
calculated to take advantage of it foi
their own ends.
Taylor said nothing, but upon their ar
rival in Honolulu he sought an audience
with the king and unfolded to him the
details of the plot. The conspirators
ere banished from the island. Taylor
remained and was speedily installed
as the kings favorite. To crown all
the kings sister, beautiful Hawaiian
princess, fell in love with the dashine
American, and, at the kings suggestion,
offered him her hand and fortune. Taylor
received the most positive assurance that
his marriage to the princess would make
him heir to the crown. He declined tn.
honor, however, with thanks. In talk
ing with his Washington friends Taylor
used to say that, although he never re-
GREETED the refusal, he felt positive, that
had he espouscd the dusky princess, the
kings pledge would have been faithfully
kept
Years afterward Taylor returned to the
United States, and served as a soldier in
a Pennsylvania regiment In the COURSE
of time he drifted to Washington, where
he secured a minor clerkship in the
treasury department. About six months
ago he was dismissed from government
service on account of his irregular habits
Broken in health and in fortune, he at
last returned to the obscure Pennsylvania
village which he quilted light hearted,
adventurous boy forty years ago. Within
a fortnight after his arrival he ended his
life in the manner above described
