The Latest Electric Curio.

Mr.. Volk, whose electric railway is
known to all visitors to Brighton, Eng
land, has constructed an electrically
driven dog-cart, which attracts good
deal of attention among the leisure
crowds which throng the gay Sussex
watering place. 1t is driven by a half
horsepower Immisch motor and six
teen small accumulators, which have a
capacity equal to six hours work. In
the desire to keep the machinery light,
scarcely sufficient power has been pro-
vided, so that, although the vehicle
will make a speed of nine miles an
hour on asphalt, it only makes speed
of four miles on soft macadam road,
while, with two passengers, an incline
of one in thirty is the limit of its
climbing power.-Electrical World.

Washed Postage Stamps.
We, not infrequently, hear of new
devices for obliterating the marks from
postage stamps and of the danger that
is going TO happen to the revenue OF
the post-office from the fraudulent use

tention to these humbugs, for they are
spectators. Take it for granted that
the Government employs scientific men
who know more than the counterfeit
ers, and the latter know more about
such matters than the spectators. The
Government has thoroughly investi-
gated the matter, and has arrived at
an understanding after arduous expe-
riments. If it loses any thing by
washed postage stamps, I never hear
of it. To look at the stamps, one
would scarcely imagine the trouble it
required to arrive at an absolutely
safe combination that will resist water.

ious question. At first it was proposed
to use certain kinds of paper, but this
proved not feasible, because skillful
operator could wash off the ink with

which would wash off with the applica-
ton of water. But it was found that
the heat of summer had the same effect.

EXPENSIVE FLOWERS,
Roses That Were Sold at Eight Time
Their Weight I'm Gold.

Hoses IlaC were sofa at Eight Times
Their Weight I'm Gold.
The cut flower business, which we
might almost call another phase OF
Horticulture, is perhaps greater in the
United States than in any other part OF
the world. Certainly the use of cut
flowers in New York for bouquets,
baskets and other designs, is fal
greater than in either London or Paris,
and the taste shown in their arrange
ment here is vastly superior. 1t is
estimated that $1,000. 900 was paid for
cut flowers in New York in 1880, one
third of which was for rosebuds. I'M
mense glass structures are erected in
the suburbs for the special purpose OF
growing cut flowers to supply the
bouquet-makers Of the city. Not les;
than twenty acres of glass surface is
devoted to the purpose of forcing
roses alone during the winter months.
At some seasons the prices paid fol
these forced rOsebuds- are perfectly
astounding. One grower. of Madison,
Y. j.. took into New York three
hundred buds of the crimson rose
known as General Jacqueminot, fol
which he received at wholesale $500
and which, no doubt. were retailed al
$3.50 to 81 each. A flower dealer in
Fourteenth street. few days before

Facts About FfeaS.

Fleas love dirt and in it they flourish
and multiply most. abundantly. But,
in spite of ST. Dominic's curse and
their unclean haunts, they are inter-
esting little fellows. Let me put one
under the microscope. 1t seems to be
clothed in sort of armor formed Of
brown overlapping plates that are so
exceedingly tough as to be almost in
destructible. Its head is small and
very thin and it has a single eye upon
each side. This eye is black, and the
rays of light scintillate within it like
sparks of fire. Puget managed to
look through one of these eyes and he
found that il diminished objects in
size, while it multiplied in number,
man appearing like an army OF fairies
and the fame OF candle becoming Il
thousand tiny stars. From the shape
of its head and for other reasons the
flea is supposed to use only one eye at
a time. The offensive weapons of
flea are composed of two palpi, or feel
ers, two piercers, and a tongue.
When it feeds it stands erect, thrust
ing its sucker into the flesh, and it will
eat without intermission until dis
turbed, for it voids as fast as it swal-
lows its food. 1t is interesting to put
several in q glass, and, giving them a
piece of raw meat, see them all stand
ing on their hind legs to suck up its
juices. Their manner of breathing is
still undetermined, but it is thought
most probable that they receive air in
to their bodies through small holes ut
the ends of the palpi. L e legs of
flea are marvels of strength and
elasticity. They are joined to the body
by long tendons, that act like wire
springs. In making it's leap, which, it
is said, can cover 200 times its own
length, the flea draws the leg close up
to the body, and then throws it ouI
with great force; but the impulse pro-
ceeds from the first joint alone, the
others only increasing it by their
stretch while the leap is being made
Exchange.
