gether In long strips about half an inch or
an inch Wide, and laid them around the
edge OF the top OF the table, side by side
and as near together as possible without
touching. The strips were held In place
by small tacks. To each strip he connected
small wire and ran them TO the switch,
where they we're both connected with two
batteries OF $50 cells each. When all was
ready the boys put their lunches within
the Gordon Of the tin foil and battery con-
nection and awaited the result. The first
to appear for supper were the two aero
batic reaches which did the ground and
lofty tumbling act OF the night before.
They winked at Tom and commenced
shining the leg OF the table. We gath
cred near TO watch the result, and the
reaches seeing us approach stopped shin
ming.
"Sh," says Tom, "give 'em a show,
boys"
awe stepped back and the reaches
climbed nearer and nearer TO Edison's
dead line.' The first one reached the
top about five lengths ahead of his com
panion. He stopped on the extreme
edge Of the table, eyed the foil and the
lunch-boxes, braided his legs together
and then started for the near
est lunch-box. When he attempted
to CROSS the tin foil he made con-
nection and keeled over as mute as an
osseous, Degrlmed old fossil from the
dead ages. His companion was trans
formed into dead cockroach before he
could think what hit him, and before 10
O'Clock that night the pile Ct dead cock

Church of Divine Fragments.

Among the novelties in the ecclesiaS-
teal line is the Church of Divine Frag-
ments, presided over by the Rev. Jacob
I'll. Harter, who makes his headquarters
in Auburn. He came TO New York to
look after some of his parishioners the
other day, and stopped long enough to
give me few extracts from the creed.
MY church, he said, lis not a fashion
able affair, and is located wherever a
fragment of humanity can be found.
Ministers OF other churches usually
make efforts to increase their member
ship, while | am working TO diminish
mine. Ny members are found among
the bad, vicious and criminal classes,
and the only way they can get out of
my church is by becoming god. IN
other words, most mir isters are enieay-
oring to keep the people out Of hell,
am trying to keep he'll out of the peo-
pie. As the sick belong TO the doctor
until restored to health, as the ignorant
pupils belong to the teacher until educa-
ted, so the maynard, wicked. sinful or
Incorporate belong to the Church OF Di-
vine Fragments Till they are made bet
ter, when they graduate into other
churches" Mr.. Harter is a ceaseless
worker. lie was regularly ordained as
a N mister in the Presbyterian Church,
but for years has not occupied pulpit.
He depends for a living exclusively
upon the gifts OF the charitably inclined
and has lately gathered $1,000 toward
building a home for himself and wife 1T

Neryous System of Lower AnimnIs.

Nervous System of Lower Animals.
Every animal has some kind of n nervous
system. MyIiads of the lower forms of life
possess this apparatus in an extremely rudi-
mentary condition. In them there is no
brain, no spinal cord, only one or n few knots
of nerve cells, with a few fibers running 10
or from these knots, so that when an impress
sion is made upon the surface, n movement is
ordered from the nerve substance. Danger,
are thus avoided a.ld food may be seized.
These lowly things have no use for a brain.
and their movements are almost purely me
chanical. y little higher up in the scale of be
ing are the insects on land and their cousins the
articulated creatures swarming in the depths
of ocean. These have organs of touch and sight
which are well developed, and the nervous sys-
tenn becomes complex accordingly. They pos
SIS heads, and more bulky collections of nerv-
Gus substance contained therein, which deserve
the name of brains The more perfectly tho
organs of sense, especially that of sight, are
developed, the larger the brain of these crea-
lures. The amt, the bee, and the common fly,
is each an example of a relatively large brain
possessed by diminutive being. The brain
of the "blow-fly' is thirty times larger thaa
that of the largest beetle, and besides being
so large it Is intricate in arrangement, thrown
into folds or elevations and depreSsions, 50
that its surface is greatly increased. The in
telligence of this insect is, like that of the ant
and bee, very largely developed. Globe

wonderfulIy Expressive sign Language.

| was out to the Gentlemens Driving park
the other afternoon with "Scar Face the
great white chief, better known to the world
at large as Maj. John Burke. The Indians
are the greatest pantomimists in the world,
and their sign language is so plain that
an intelligent man can in few days master
enough of it to enable him TO understand any
Indian in the country. l spent an hour in a
tepee, and through the kindly aid OF Broncho
Bill, who acted as interpreter, l saw enough
of the sign language 10 make me write as 1
do.
When an Indian wants to tell you that he
is sal he places his extended right hand down
ward on n line with his heart and then de
presses it three or four inches. How could he
more quickly or expressively say, I am
down hearted When he wants to tell YOU
that he speaks truthfully he puts his hand ta
his mouth and extends his arms in n GiIcet
line thus implying that his talk is ''straiEl!t."
If he wishes TO say that speech is UHtrI:e, in
stead of extending his hand direct. H. twists
il from side TO side, thus showing that the
talk j. crooked All the other sign, are

The Herald, of this city, has an ac-
count of the Jail delivery, but not a word
in it about the prisoners using the keys
to effect their escape. There were no
keys in the case. The outer aud inner
doors were left open, and when the
jailer was overpowered at the door
that opens on the corridor, the prisoners
had nothing to do but walk out. They
did walk out, and are out still, save one
for some minor offense.
The Herald also reiterates the state
rneut that it is the fault of the County
Commissioners that the prisoners
escaped, because the Sheriff was not al
lowed servant ~ If he had had a
dozen servants the escape would proba-
bly, have been the same. 1t is not ser
wants" that are wanted, but a vigilant
sheriff and a jailer that has sense enough
to close the Jail doors.

\ dispatch from Wilmington, Del,
of yesterday says: -Four negroes and

one hour for horse stealing. Another
white man convicted of robbery was

prisoner, when it was found that this of
ffcer was pocketing the same?

A few remaining herds of cham

 the dreary summit regions of the Styrian Alps, or are petted in the Tyrolese game preserves, but from the old hunting grounds of the Alpen Jager both the chamois and the ibex have. probably forever disappeared.

It can do no harm, and 1t dwarfs tue growth of tho horu It must do good. The great nst attraction ia black cattle is their smooth polls Ex.
