pears in an entire change in the surface
of the yellow lacquer. In color it is a
light buff, and is without the gloss which
covers the other parts Of the tray. The
edges of this discolored surface are softly
but distinctly outlined, especially along
the lines OF the wavy hair aud about the
shoulders. A curious feature Of the pic
ture is the fact that where Miss Lillian's
ego would naturally be placed in a. por-
trait, the lacquer is untouched by the
lightning's fash.
Electricians are puzzled. One theory,
that the bolt had 'burned the portrait in
the lacquer" was really no explanation;
and it was abandoned as inconsistent with
the non-injury either to the girl or the
tray. One electrician believes that the
picture was produced by oxidation under
the intense electric light. The lacquer On
the tray undoubtedly contains among its
ingredients bichromate Of potassium. some
times called dragons blood, upon which
the intense light may have this effect.
Thus. the picture was printed by light and
not by heat, and the fash was reflected
from the face to the inside of the opposite
window pane. and then thrown upon the
tray, producing an actinic portrait

The Beauty of India's Parrots.

We went to India, md l was COM
pletely fascinated by the crowds OF green
parrots we saw in the plains. 1t was q
n~ever-failing source of delight to me TO
see them flying in focks, often hundreds
at a time, with the rays of the descending
sun glistening on their emerald green
plumage; or to see a tree destitute of
leaves made green by reason Of the null
titude of parrots hat had settled on its
branches; or again, ut sunset, to see the
green parrots flying about the white
marble minarets Of the glorious Tai
Mehal, or darling about frolicking in
the expiring rays. To me they were the
most lovely of midas birds. .
One scene connected with parrots is,
from its perfect beauty, often present in
my mind. At a certain residcncy, one
of the finest in northern India, there is a
fountain constantly playing, and in the
early morning the parrots gather to-
gether in vast numbers to drink and
battle in its running waters and basin.
To see their graceful curves and upward
flights before dashing through and just
Swimming the surface of the water, with
their unbounded joy and delight in SO
doing, was q picture lof. ecstatic, ideal,
living happiness difficult to surpass. The
parrots at this residency are almost tame,
for every morning four or five Gagged
ones are let loose to be fed, and down
come all the wild ones to share their

THE Doodle ring business goes on in
Canada Just as it has in this country, only
it seems tobe carried on over the border
in higher political circles. The Montreal
Post mentions n recent case and furnishes
the names OF the persons concerned. A
well known contractor had n large claim
against the government, but could not col
lect it Finally, it was suggested to him
to engage the services OF a son of Sir
Charles Upper to bring the matter to the
attention OF the cabinet Before the
young lobbyist had done auything he got
$4,000 put of the contractor. After a
while a final settlement was made, but Il
was not brought about until two members
of parliament had been retained by Mr..
Upper; and the contractor got only one
fourth of his claim at last, the ''go-be-
tweens' grabbing the rest. The Post
adds to its summary of the case, this COM
ment: Thus the national treasury was
cheated, the contractor was f1eeced, and
the parliamentary Tory lawyers divided
the Doodle between themselves. 1t is so
all along the government line"

There is no telling what notions will
not afhict the minds Of wealthy young
men in these days. One man on Murray
Hill has a passion for scientific studiesi n
general and chemistry in particular. He
has a charming country home on the
Morris & Essex division of the Lacka-
wanna where he gave a very pleasant and
very surprising hop the other night. The
guests were whirling in a charming
waltz on the broad piazza, when at about
midnight sno began to fall from the
ceiling over the center of the room. II
was a genuine snowstorm, too, although
it melted before it reached the floor. He
had arranged n number Of pipes between
the rafters where they would not be
readily seen, by which he forced tiny
sprays of some sort of freezing mixture
into the air. But the scientific talk to
which he was Obliged to listen for the
rest of the evening must have brought
tears of bitter regret to his eyes. The
knowledge which the ordinary society
man possesses in things scientific is
beyond description.-Brooklyn Eagle.

HEAVENS ~PH1T0GRAPHY.

1t is known that one of the strange pos
sibilifies of what is called electricity" is
the instantaneous photographing-if that
word can be used OF a picture which is
produced without camera, lens or any APP
paratus-of a pine tree. MOSES, ferns or
any other object hat happens to be con
spicuous and near, on any body or sub
stance struck by a fash of lightning.
Several instances of this strange photog-
raphy are noted in the Silver Crown min
ing district, where large blocks of granite
thrown from the shafts Of mines bear the
pictures Of beautiful ferns or shrubs or
that Of a noble pine tree. To add to the
impressive character of such occurrences il
has recently been noted that similar
pictures have been imprinted on or trans
fered to human bodies struck by light
ming. and that the fact that the person
vas covered by clothing is said to have
made no apparent difference with the pic.

reported from Plainfcld, n. j., that of
Miss Lillian Paul, who has had the uniql e
experience Of having had her portrait
taken, during a thunder storm IL the
night by a fash of lightning.
The account of this queer occurrence is
related by the New York San as fol

On the night of July Is. the young
lady was sitting up, for the return Of a
belated servant Binding flashes Of light

Miss Lillian went out into the dining
room for a glass Of water. In a bag win

1t has been a matter OF extensive belief
in France that the drinking OF water in
considerable quantities has a tendency
to reduce obesity, by increasing the
activity of oxidations in the system. and
favoring the burning away Of accumu-

PRINCE ALEXANDER is a German prince

PRNcE ALEXANDER is a German prince
of the house of Battenberg. He is dis
family related to the Hohenzollerns, of
which the Emperor William is the head.
He is a cousin of the present Gar, his
father and the Cars mother-the late
Empress OF Russia-having been brother
and sister. His youngest brother recently
married Beatrice, the youngest daughter
of Queen Victoria. 1t will be seen that
he is well connected; but, if his own
cousin has proved his worst enemy, the
other sovereigns to whom he is in one way
and another related will not be likely to
seriously interfere in his behalf. The
Bulgarian people appear, however, to be
his devoted friends, and it may be deemed
best by the powers, on that account, to
provide for his peaceful restoration.

Of the claim against the grounds were not re-

peared to think that on account of the fair as

S3 $500 damages for q violation of the e.n-
tract. The case Was referred by Judge
Treat of the United States court. at st. Louis,
to a m ister IN chancery, who gave judg-
ment. May 10. for Mr. McGrew, in the sum
of 81, 400. The railroad company appealed
for q bearing before the court itself, and
Judge Treat heard the arsuM .nt iu April.
and sustained the N ister in chsncsry, the
decision being rendered IN September. The
company asked for n new hearing which was
by the court refused, and on last Tuesday
Mr.. McGrew received from them a check for
1891 IS in full of settlement, with interest.
Beside which the railroad COMPANY had to
pay Mr.. Robert II. Kern, Mr.. McGrew's

Is now associated in business with Judges
Alexander Martin and II. ID. Laughlin, the
