The following is from the proceedings Of
the Berlin Physiological society: Starting
with the observed fact that canaries fed with
cayenne pepper acquire a rudy plumage,
DR.. Sauermann has based upon it a scientific
investigation OF canaries, fowls, pigeons and
other birds. From these he has obtained the
following results: Feeding with pepper only
produces an effect when given to young birds
before they moult; the color of the feathers
Of older birds cannot be affected Moisture
facilitates the change Of color to rudy hue,
which is again discharged under the influence
of sunlight and cold A portion Of the con-
stituents OF cayenne pepper is quite inactive,
as, for instance, piperin and several extrac-
tives; similarly the red coloring matter alone
Of the pepper has no effect on the color of tho
feathers. Il Is rather the triolein, which oc-
ours In the pepper In large quantities to-
gether with the characteristic pigment which
brings about the change Of color by holding
the red pigment Of the pepper In solution.
Glycerine may be used instead OF triolein to
bring about the same result. The same state
ment holds good with regard to the feeding
of birds with aniline colors. The red pigment
Of the pepper is also stored in the egg yolk as
well as in the feathers The first appearance
Of the pigment in the yolk may be observed
as a colored ring four days after the COM
mencement Of feeding with the pigment dis
solved in fat After further two days
feeding the whole yolk is colored. DR.. Sauer-
mann is still engaged in carrying on his re-

Two German scientists Bunsen and Kir-
chof, first carefully investigated the pheno-
mena of the spectra Of the light proceeding
from various luminous bodies; and their la
bors, with those Of others following in their
footsteps, have opened up field of investi-
cation which is apparently limitless. One Of
the most useful applications of the spectre
scope is to the analysis Of different substances
The chemist would be unable to detect with
his reagents the presence of small quantities
of certain elements; but let him bring the
substance into the flame of lamp, and glance
through his spectroscope, and in a moment
their presence Or absence is indisputably
proved. A ten-thousandth part Of a grain Of
sodium can be easily detected by this means;
and simply clapping the hands near the flame
will give off enough Of this omnipresent ele-
ment to cause its characteristic yellow line
to appear a. once in the spectroscope. We
have by this means proved the presence Of
the rare element lithium in the blood Of a
person who had been drinking a mineral
water containing a trace of its salts. Not
only does the spectrum analysis show US the
presence of familiar elements, but sometimes
lines are observed in the presence Of those
previously unknown. C;es.um, iridium, in
dunn, gallium, thallium and several others
were thus discovered, although present in
such small quantities that no ordinary
reagent could have detected them.

The officers and soldiers at Fort Adams had
the opportunity on Wednesday to engage in
actual warfare, and improved the chance
with great alacrity. An attack was made
on the garrison in the afternoon by huge
whale, and all hands were called to repel
boarders. The whale is what is known as
sulphur bottom whale, which are plentiful on
the coast Of Maine, and was about twenty
feet long He was first seen by Surgeon
Horizons son on the upper side Of the south
dock. Hegave the alarm to the attendant at
the hospital, who first attacked the whale
with pistol, firing good number Of shots,
but producing no effect whatever.
The officers and men Of the battery then
gathered and made united attack, using
sabers, guns, pistols, carbines, and, in fact,
everything except the field pieces was brought
to bear on it. Some Of themen jumped over
board and finally got a rope around him. A
piece Of gaspipe was then stuck in his blow
hole. But he soon broke away, and as he
swan around the front Of the wharf, the port
launch was backed into him by Capt. Lee,
and he was cut into in several places by the
propeller. The launch then started to chase
the whale down the cove opposite the stables,
where no was finally run ashore and Killed.
The scene was a very ludicrous one; many Of
the men at different times jumped on the
whales back, only to be flung of by the

nrsohanIoaI Marble cntter--

A machine has been set up In the carving
building at the Rhode Island granite works,
Westerly, R. l.. which will probably revOlu-
tionize all former methods Of fine granite,
slate and marble cutting. It Is called the
pneumatic carver An air cylinder, run by
steam, discharges into receiver, where an
air pressure Of from forty to fifty pounds is
carried This air is fed out In the carving
room through a large number Of flexible
tubes which in turn are attached to the
pneumatic carver" This tool consists Of a
cylinder, In which Is a piston with a trims
verse angular valve The latter controls the
several parts Of the piston. The compressed
air is admitted alternately above and below
the piston. The piston is not attached to the
spindle or stem carrying the cutting tool, but
drives it outward. This movement cuts the
stone. The return stroke is made by means
Of powerful spring. The stroke is short, but
is made with marvellous rapidity. The ma
chine can be run at $4,000 or 1900 strokes
per minute. The workman guides the cut
ting tool with his left hand and controls the
pressure with his right, and is able to turn
this marvellous stone chewer in all directions
TO suit his work-Exchange.

At Westminster police court on Saturday
two boys of 10, named Frost and Oakes, liv-
ing with their parents at Wandsworth, were
charged with begging at Vauxhall bridge.
The boys allege that a woman living in Wood
gate street, Nine Elms, trained them and
other lads as beggars, and that she used to
mind their decent clothes and supply them
with rags to go out in. Her own boy, it was
said, was the head Of the gang Of juvenile
beggars, and used to take the money, which
partly went to his mother and part In re
freshments and visits to transporting music
halls Mrs. Frost said that she had been TO
this woman and warned her that il she heard
that her boys clothes were kept again she
would lock her up for unlawful possession.
This was the advice Of the school board Of
fcer The defendants, questioned by Mr..
DEyncourt, adhered to their statements
about being supplied with rags, etc, and the
magistrate said that if it was true the woman
really ought to be prosecuted. A police con.
stable said he had seen the woman, and she
denied taking care Of the boys cloJhes.-Pal

John Bull, having learned that l, 200 foot
tower on the shores Of the Seine pays 90 per
cent. on the investment, sees no good reason
why a 800 foot tower on the banks Of the
Thames may not declare % per cent. divi-
dends So he has arranged to put up cloud
piercing structure that, compared with the
Eifel tower, shall be- as flute to a piccolo.
It is high time for Uncle Sam to be moving
in the tower business, and not to rest content
upon a monolith that must be as pigmy
when England's tower is finished A tower
for the Worlds fair of 1892, tall enough to
knock chips off the moon, must be built in
this republic, or other nations will laugh us
to scorn. And if the tower is to be Of iron
and steel, which seems Inevitable there Is a
city at the head Of the Ohio that can turn

In 1876, only thirteen years ago-only as
long as it takes a young miss to grow into
tolerably long dresses-we had but a couple
of Gramme machines and few lamps Of a
very crude and unsat. ,factOry construction
and wonderfully low efficiency at the Phila-
delphia centennial. Just think of it, seriously,
thoughtfully, with your eyes shut, for one
moment, and then say to yourself there are
$500, OOO, 900 today invested in tho electric
business, with over 337, OH arc and 2,704,76S
glow lamps, and the 100 railways, with nearly
800 miles Of track and 1000 motor cars in
daily service, and then say, If you can, what
the power is, or the energy is, OF the force is,
or the whatever you call it is, which Is doing
all this work. And, again, predict if you
dare what the next thirteen years, while that
laughing little miss is growing TO be a staid
matrOn, viii accomplish with this same un-
known and unknowable laborer in the world

therefore, something more than handsome

True Manhood.

"There isMore manhood TO the square
inch in the young man who swings the
scythe in tho meadow than in the one
who dawdlesa cane on the boulevard, /"
sagely remarked u wise speaker at re-
cent gathering. His aphorsm contains
more than enough ssltito keep it sweet
There is no great objection to the dude
considered simply as such. Often he is
not positively vicious. Ile is too busy
considering the cut Of his waistcoat aud
the width of his trouser.legs aud the
shape of his finger nails and the polisl,
of his shoes, to have time or brain 10
spare for real upright or downright vii
lainy. In one aspect he is u very harm
less individual and, as in the case of the
celebrated Mr.. Toots, what he says and
does is of mo consequence" Think of
Ben Franklin accompanied BY q great
dog Gin dude vcrnacular 'purp, ! stick
ing his elbows out at right angles to his

congruity Of associating such manners
with men Of serious aud earnest purpose
shows how Numerically opposed to real
carnestness are such characteristics. in
fact how little manhood there Il about
them. As a disease, dudism while it Is
held up to constant ridicule, may not be-
alarming as symptom of prevailing
and increasing effeminacy and lack OF

The Production of Pork.

The cost Of producing pork on hogs
over eight or ten months old, or after
they will dress It's or 200 pounds, is
emphasized by Professor Sanborn's ex-
periments. lTc shows that tho average
Missouri hog IS kept to such an age thar
he consumes food worth at least 49, SO in
the bare effort to keep alive beyond the
period at which he should have been
killed This makes loss on all the
hogs of Missouri of from $4,000, 900 TO
$16, 900, 900, according to the number
kept. Since the market demands light
weight hogs, the folly of keeping pigs
to twice the ageat which they should
be killed must be apparent to all. The
Southern Planter, commenting on tho
above. says: Virginia needs hogs that
can be raised and made into pork be-
tween March md January. No others
will pay Therefore berkshire. Red
Jersey and lsssex are the most profit
able breeds, and, il woll earel far aud

Why waken at all TO my exile long,

Aud my breath came thick aud last,
When You whispered, blnshng, that now
you knew
The meaning of love at last.
But then the sun, like n meddlesome clown,
Climbed grinning above the sky;
My castle in Dreamland came tumbling
down,
And tumblng down came l.
Just MS bent for u kiss to crown
My longing, with none to spy.
And that is why am bound to go
And rent me u dream house there;
For there you'Il be waiting for me, know,

And we'll live and love in the Dreamland

The width of the world from care.
