Just before the day of the concert she took
up 81 newspaper, aud, to her horror, among
tho names OF the arrivals at a certain hotel
in the city, she read that of 1.-THE Able

her fraud openly at the outset Of her musical
career would be to crush it at once. A
straightforward plan suggested itself Act.

named Armstrong, consisting Of husband,

tho Little Mountain valley last fall and
settled. They mysteriously disappeared in
the last part of May, and not until now has
any trace of them been found. A party of
cowboys passing below the location on the
ranch Tuesday, found the body Of Mrs.
Armstrong in canon. The remains of Mr..
Armstrong and his daughter were found
some distance below, one in tree top and
the other in high rocks. The boys have not
been discovered. It's surmised that sudden
flood caused by the melting of snow swept
away their houses and the inmates, and the

AN INTERESTING fact with regard to dam
age from lightning has been evolved from a
study of insurance statistics in Germany.
1t appears that during the years between
1850 and 1880 the lightning risks have in
creased thrccfold that is, out of any given
number of buildings three times as many
would be struck by lightning during 1880 rs
were struck during 1850. Two causes for
this extraordinary increase suggest them
selves: A change Of meteorological condi-
tions, or the mora common use OF metals III
cons ruction. Investigations have, how
ever, failed to develop a satisfactory explain
alton. Prof HollZ fails TO find from mo
teorological returns any proof rs to increase
Of storms, hut produces statistics to show
that in those districts where most metal is
used about buildings the largest number of
lightning strokes are recorded. On the
other hand, Professor Behold finds that in
Bavaria thunder storms have increased
both in number and intensity. An iu-
vestigation Of the subject in this country
would be interesting, specially In regard to
the safety afforded by lightning-rods. Me-
neurological changes are continually going
on, and whether danger from lightning has
increased lhree-fol'l, as i'll Germany, would
be worth knowing.

A RIVAL. FOR SUGAR. Chemistry has
recently given to the world another food
element which, like oleomargaline, butter
inc, ETC., will probably arouse the ire OF The
producer of the natural article until Con
gress will be called on to lesislate for the
protection Of the sugar cane. "Saccharine, u
discovered by G. Fahlberg, is derived from
one Of the hydrocarbons of coal-tar. II Is
white power, dissolvng very slowly in
cold water, but moro readily in warm, and
perfectly in alcohol, either, glucose, glyce-
line, etc. In diluted solution it is intensely
sweet, one part in 10000 parts of water
giving very sweet taste, or about 80 times
sweeter than the best cane sugar. 1t has
no nutritive properties, but is eliminated
from the system without undergoing change.
Mixed with glucose or starch sugar, in the
proportion of one part to 1000 or 1000, II
forms compound scarcely distinguishabIc
from the best sugar, and very considerably
cheaper than the product of tho cane. "Sac.
charino" has been carefully investigated as
to its physiological properties, by DIR. Slut
Ter of Bonn, and others, who claim
that in the quantities necessary to
sweeten food it has no injurious effect
on the system. Fed to dogs in a quantity
equal to two and q quarter pounds Of sugar
q day the animals remained in health dur
ing the entire course Of the experiments.
Patients suffering from diabetes, in which
disease real sugar is interdicted, have been
treated with "saccharine" at discretion in
one of the principal hospitals of Berlin for
several MONTHS withoutin any wise aggra-
waiting their malady. Ia this respect, at
least, the new discovery is already Of value,
and there seems little room to doubt that
this product of refuse is destined to become
an important rival to beet root and cane su.
