NEW HAVEN CONN, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY TO-

and but very few experts could tell the diff ference without critical examination. The discovery of the fraud has caused 8 great deal of excitement in the trade, as it is par ticularly felt in the preparations of solu- tions.
 MT. James J. Walker, an officer of Her Msjesty's gunboat Grappler, has something interesting to say about the insects that swarm around the rock of Gibraltar. There is scarcely day throughout the year on which butterflies may not be found and MT. Walker enumerates 55 species for the limited district, 30 of which have occurred on the rock itself. He has found 900 species of beetles and is daily adding to the number. The rock is the sole European locality in which the Barbary ape is found in a wild state. These animals, reduced a few years ago to less than dozen individuals, have of late greatly increased in numbers, and, being The fig trees in the gardens suffer 50 much from their depredations when the fruit is ripening that it is found necessary to employ men to scare them away. The Barbary par fridge, though plentiful onthe rock as well as on the opposite African coast, is, like the monkey, found nowhere else on the European continent.
 An engineer on the Little Miami railroad was suspended because, after having been examined by Dr. Clark, he was found to be quite deaf. The engineer claimed at the time that he could hear everything while running his engine, but the doctor found that in still room he could not hear ordi- nary conversation a foot away. The engineer lives at Cincinnati and received treatment in that city for his disease, but without any special benefit. After being suspended eight months the engineer again came to Dr. Clark and insisted that he could hear perfectly while on a moving engine. The doctor thought he would test the case, and, accom- panying the man to Cincinnati, made num- Der of experiments with him on engines. The result was that the doctor found the engineer was not only telling the truth in regard to the matter, but also that the deaf man could hear low remarks and whispers on moving engine that even Dr. Clarks keen ear failed to catch. The engineer was reinstated to his former place.

THE VALUED POLICY,

When the New Hampshire legislature made the "valusd policy" law there was rejoicing among those who had property to insure, though this rejoicing was tempered by the fact that the insurance companies which had been doing business in the State had threat ened to withdraw from the State if the law were passed. They carried out their threat, and the valued policy law has not yet been striking success.
 The figures for 1887 show 8 fire loss for that year in New Hampshire of $1 ,620,0 ,000, and the insurance paid was $929, ,591. The bad effect of the new law appears in the fact that the fire loss of 1887 shows 275 per cent increase over that of 1886 and 100 per cent. over the average for ten years previous. The ffty-eight insurance companies which refus- ed to do business in the State after the pas sage of the valued policy law have no reason to regret their withdrawal. The home insur- anee companies which have attempted to | cover the ground vacated have not, it appears, fared very well. Two new stock companies
 were formed, each with $250, 900 capital, two | with $50, 900 guarantee fund and many mu- tual or assessment companies. The largest
 
 ones have gone out of business in 1887. Of
 the two $50, ,000 companies one paid per | cent. and had net surplus of $4,S00, while
 the other passed Of the two larger compa- l nies one, which upon statement of it's treas- | urer at the annual meeting saved itself from
 bankruptcy by it's business outside of New Hampshire, paid per cent, but reduced it's | net surplus more than the amount of it's divi-
 dend; the other company appeared to have
 done little better, but could pay no divi- dend. The little assessment companies are generally in bad way and it was owing to their strenuous request that no statement ot
 condition was made to the legislature last summer by the insurance commissioner. The
 old New Hampshire Fire, which has existed
 for many years, has gone on it's way conserv-
 atively and prosperously.
 Many men experienced in insurance affairs
 predicted that the New Hampshire experi- ment would result as it has. It is worthy ot
 note that the valued policy issue has been be-
 fore the legislatures of five States since the | New Hampshire enactment and all have re. ! iected it.

A CUP OF COPPER.
Origin, Growth, Effects of and Injur1
 from the Aromatic Berry.

from she Aromatic Berry.
 ''In searching for the origin of coffee," said the professor, ''authors have agreed to assign it's birthplace to Ethiopia. When naturalized. In search for the earliest mention of it one writer, inspired with that reverence which has sought to find out all all things in the Sacred Book, assures us that coffee is mentioned in the history of King David, where it is stated that this was
 the potion which was offered by the hands of fair Abigail to calm the excited monarch. The proof urged in favor of this biblical claim is that the drink offered was prepared from something roasted.
 "While visiting Paris" continued the lec- turer, sI was agreeably surprised to find fee shrub which was brought to France. Probably no more precious sample of this berry exists in the world. Coffee, at the time of it's introduction into use, was very expensive, selling for from $20 to $25 3 pound. Such price led to it's general cultivation, and soon, instead of being the | monopoly of Arabia, whence it was first derived, it was grown in the East and West Indies, Central and South America, and now large amounts of it are grown in Java, Ceylon, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa l Rica and Brazil. The production of the
 latter country is the largest, being about 4, ,500, 900 quintals annually, one sack gen. orally holding about one quinta1. While
 coffee can only be cultivated in warm climate, yet it cannot bear great heat. The
 seed is first planted in cool, shaded nursery,
 the infant plants being scrupulously screened | from the rays of the sun. It is next trans planted to the fields destined fer it's growth and there 1t is carefully cultivated for nearly five years before the product sufficiently | abundant to be remunerative. The shrub usually reaches height of from twelve to fifteen feet and is we'll covered with leaves
 of dark, glossy green. Small flowers of e
 snow-white color spring from the stem at the 1 foot of the leaf When in full bloem the ap- pearance is exceedingly charming. The flow
 CTS are soon transformed into round, green berries, which, ripening, present the appear l ance of red berries. From two to three crops
 of mature berries may be gathered annually. The work of preparing the berries for market l is done partly by hand and partly by machin-
 cry. Each berry should have two grains on it, yet sometimes but one is found, and this one
 is especially prized and commands the highest
 price. The pulp of the berry is sweet to the 1 taste.
 "A chemical analysis of coffss, after being
 burned, shows that it contains 90 per cent of water and about 50 per cent. of csllulose -a substance resembling stsrch-and grape

 mer belongs to that group of chemical agents named alkaloids. Coffeone is volatile oil, the result of an essential change in coffee produced by roasting. To this subtle and fugitive principle the aroma of coffee is due, and in roasting this oil permeates the entire grain; but if the heat be too great, or con- tinued too long, it is dissipated and lost Experiments show that caffeine and caffeone have different effects on the animal body, while the ceffeone is more prolonged in its effects and exercises 0 sedative or tran- quilizing action. But in drinking an or dinary cup of coffee these two actions are obtained, stimulation preceding for fifteen minutes the stage of sedation or repose." "- Exchange.
