THE GUM-CHEWING CRAZE.
Muscular Paralysis and Other Danger Fai
to Put n Stop to 1t.

Muscular PaGDlNSiS ana Other Danger ran
to Put n stop to 1t.
There is danger in chewing gum.
There is danger all around. And yet
the practice is on the increase. At the
present moment it bids fair to become
epidemic. 1t seems, indeed, as though
the danger adds additional charm to a
custom which, some years ago, was eX-
clusively monopolized by the small boy
to the constant annoyance of his
teacher. The small girl caught the
fever, then the large girl, then the
mother, and now it extends throughout
all womankind, and even the dudes
find the exercise not so eXhausting as
the pleasure is sweet, Muscular
paralysis, squint eyes and lanterned
jaws have no terrors. The maid un-
observedly pastes her gum on the un-
derside of the piano while she sings a
song at the request of her company,
and forgetfully leaves it there until a
gentleman who follows with piano
solo gets it off with the knee of his
trousers. This is rather embarrassing.
but the maid chews on as vigorously as
ever. The enthusiastic chewing-gum
miss sticks it to the headboard of her
bed after prayers; finds it favored with
the tincture of bedbug in the morning,
and still she chews. 1t may cost her a
big doctors bill to have her jaws
Strengthened out, but even that will
not break her OF the habit. A most
frightful experience was that of a
Kentucky lady who laid her gum aside
while she prepared repast of meat
and strychnine for the benefit of some
useless ours that were annoying her.
Having finished her task, she COM
placently put the chewing gum back
again into her mouth. 1t was only
with the greatest difficulty that the
doctor saved her life from strychnine
poisoning, the substance having by
carelessness been allowed to come in
contact with the gum. And yet it is
dollars to cents that the Kentucky
lady-who is, by the way, married
woman-chews gum now as vigorously
as ever. The moral of all this seems
to be that is best not to indulge, but if
you must chew don't save old quids,
but take fresh bit every time.-Balti-
more American.

A most interesting experiment has

ing to the United States is well known,
but its ight-producing powers are very
feeble compared with those of its rela-
tives, the lantern-flies, or cucuyos, OF
Cuba, Brazil and Mexico. 1t is said
that persons travelling by night in the
tropical forests are accustomed to
place these fire beetles on their boats
to light the way, and that Cuban ladies
mount the cucuyos as gems for their
hair and clothing. A living specimen
of these tropical insects was re-
Gently presented to the Bridgeport
Scientific Society. 1t is about an inch
and half long, and bears upon each
side of its body oval spots, resembling
eyes. In the dark these spots emit a
greenish light, resembling that of tiny
electric lights in full glow.
If the cucuyo is placed on II watch
dial its light will enable one TO tell the
time OF night, and it also clearly illu-
inmates small printed page. Its radi-
ance seems to be in II measure under
the control OF the will, for when n gas

sect, whether from rivalry or some other
motive. is sure to do his best. After
various trials of the insects power, the
experiment of photographing by its
light was successfully carried out. A
copy of family portrait was made, the
insect being held within an inch of the
original. and in such way that the
rays fell perpendicularly on the mega
tive. The time of exposure to bug
light was about thirty seconds -Scien'

The Chicago Tin Plate Combine.

Organs whose duty it is to support
the fraudulent industrial system now
practiced in America are delighted to
know that tin plate will be made in
Chicago. Without ascertaining what
constitutes tin plate, the eager advo-
Gates have proceeded to show that
''the new steel trust will soon be get
ting the tin ore, smelling it and rolling
it into tin plates, and all because OF
tariff of 81 per cent.
1t happens that of the many infants
this tin plate infant has been the slow
est to seize the fond teat of protection.
For twenty-five years the country has
been using about S15, 900, 900 of tin
plates year, every scrap OF which was
imported. Without the war tax the
cost would have been SO, 900. 900 a
year. Now the steel trust will try to
share this $5,000,000 of tax with the
Federal Treasury. This is the cause
of the Republican joy.
Such blessings, for the taxpayer,
are precisely like the establishment of
the poor-house, the insane asylum, the
county hospital. Chicago will have
the honor of homemade tin plate,
and the manufactures of tin plate will
give the mills reason for begging
that the tariff so long maintained shall
not be renounced just as the first mill
is entering on the benefits Of protec
tion. Chicago Herald.

SHETLAND PONIES.
An Importer Tells Where nnd How the
little uorseA are Obtained.

Many erroneous ideas prevail in re-
gard to the trade in Shetland ponies;
in fact, the vast majority of Americans
know very little about the manner in
which these animals are raised and the
character of the people who raise them.
For instance, it is the popular belief
that the buyer goes to Shetland and
picks up drove of ponies as easily as
he would flock OF sheep in Texas.
But such is not the fact, by any means.
The large island is about forty-five
miles square. very rough and hilly,
and is populated by small farmers.
The climate is quite severe in the
winter. These farmers own small
patches of ground, and live in small
stones houses generally. Every farmer
owns one, two, three or more Shetland
mares, from which they raise the
sheds. The animals live principally
on potatoes, turnips, and peculiar
kind of spear-grass, indigenous tG
that country. AS soon as the warm
spring days come the country is visited
by buyers from England and the conti-
nent, who come to catch bargains for
the nobility. The ponies are in great
demand for the wealthier classes OF
England, who buy them for their boys.
These Shetland farmers are u common,
ordinary set of men, not what you
would call really intelligent, but they
have a keen eye single to good bar
gain in selling pony, and the buyer
has to use as many tricks of the horse
trader in that country as in Yankee
dom. To gather the last drove of
ponies l purchased there had to ride
over large portion of the island
over hills and through ravines covered
with snow-picking up one and two
ponies here and there. The price for
a pony is usually G5, and it costs from
fS to G10 each to ship them across the
North Sea to Aberdeen, Scotland. By
the time pony is landed in America
it has cost the shipper about $125. Sew
eral of them always die on the sea. Out
of sixty-one in the last lot lost thirty.
The smallest full-grown thoroughbred
Shetland pony is thirty inches high and
the largest only forty inches high But
there is large trade in the United
States in ponies raised in the north OF
Ireland, and they are sold here for
Shetland ponies. But they are not
Shetlands. They are bred with other
horses and are larger than the
genuine specimen. Louis Globe

SCIENTIFIC WARFARE.
Tho Incredibly Quick Work of Photo

Tho Incredibly Quick Work of Photo
graphing "A Bullet While in Motion.
The present of the art of war is hard
to keep pace with, and it is impossible
to foretell the future. Military art has
become omnivorous of science. There
is not a branch of science that is not
now called in to aid in the art of war.
In the days of Captain Marryat when a
younger son was too stupid for the law,
too bad for the pulpit and couldn't be
made doctor of, he was settled in the
army by the purchase of a commission,
hence the latter came to be considered
the profession of 1.-The fool of the
family"
What would the author of "Mid-
shipman Easy have said if he had
been told that Lieutenant Albert
Gleaves and Ensign Stokely Morgan
had succeeded in photographing
projectile in flight? In Austria last
year Prof. Anschuetz succeeded in
getting photograph Of rifle bullet,
the projectile moving at the rate of
| 1,300 feet a secondhand the plate
which he used for the purpose being
exposed for only .000076 of second.
The two English officers named used
service HotchSiss rifle, weight of
charge, 20 grains; weight of lead bull
let, 405 grains; with an initial velocity
of about 1,400 feet second.
Prof. Anschuetz, of Lissa, has sue
ceeded in obtaining remarkable and
interesting results in photographing
the flight of cannon-balls from the mo-
ment of their projection to their strik'
ing the target or other object aimed at.
He demonstrated the perfection of his
studies on the trying-grounds of the
Gruson works near Buckau. His plates
were submitted to the expert, DR.. Koe-
mig of the Berlin university, who was
perfectly able to make therefrom the
desired practical calculations. He
established the fact that the projectile
thus photographed had velocity of
400 meters second and that the dura-
tion OF the light thrown upon the pho
tographic plate did not exceed the ten
thousandth part of second.
The theory of the motion of projec-
tiles is a subject regarding which vol
umes have been written. An Austria
chemist named Mach has photographed
a number of rihe-bullets in motion by
means of the electric light and thus
presented some remarkable phenom-
ena. In this operation his plan is to
illumine the bullet by letting it break
an electric current, but the velocity OF
the bullet must exceed that of sound
in order that the conditions of the air
before and behind the projectile can
be shown. After various experiments
Mach succeeded in his efforts to photo
graph projectiles fired from Werndl
and Guedes rifles having, respectively,
an initial velocity of 43S and $50 meters
per second. The photographs OBJ
tanned in this manner showed an air
formation in front of the bullet having
the form of an hyperbola, while be-
hind ii almost vacuum was formed, in
which. when the initial velocity was
great there were some curious spiral
motions. From the description given
there appeared from these photographs
to be great similarity between the
motion of body through the water
and that Of projectile through the
air.--Chicago Times.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
How the Republicans Propose TO Circu,n-
won't the Democratic Minority.

won't the Democratic Minority.
According to an organ of tariff
brigandage, there Is a great deal OF
astonishing talk of what the Dem-
ocrats in the next Congress will not
permit the Republicans to do, al
though 1t is not denied that the Re-
publicans will have a clean majority
in the House." The Democrats, il
appears, have declared that they will
ures proposed by the Republicans.
For example, they will resist with all
their votes and influence an addition
TO the denominations of the tariff and
any measure proposing to extend tho
interference of the Federal authority
with elections in the States.
These purposes are not only entire
ly within the legal rights of the Dem.
ocratic minority, but they are just
and proper as means for the protec-
tion of the people and the promotion
of the general welfare. The possibil"
ity that the Democrats, having only u
narrow majority to contend against,
may be able to defeat the most cher
ished schemes of the other party, is
particularly grievous to the chiefs Of
the latter, and, as a consequence, plans
for increasing the Republican strength
in the House are being prepared.
One of the methods by which the OPP
position of the minority is to be circum-
vented, if the majority managers can
have their way, is the adoption of
sort of "closure," or "cloture" sys-
tenn, like that in use for gagging the
Parnellites in the British Parliament.
Another plan is-and it appears to be
thought the most effective-to turn
out the Democrats from every contest
ed seat and put Republicans in their
places. In order to give this speedy
effect, however, it will be necessary to
get the "cloture" in operation, so that
long speeches and other dilatory pro-
ceedings may be shut off
On the whole, taking the plans of
the Republicans as their own organs
describe them, the Democrats will be
amply justified in contesting every
step proposed to be taken in this ut
terly Infamous programme and in de-
liberately and determinedly opposing
all moves designed to reduce the vot-
ing strength or impair the constitu-
tional privileges of the minority, or to
impose additional burdens on the peo-
pie, by the new Congress. No harm
can be donc if the nerpsSnrv ammo
priation bills are the only acts passed
at the next session of Congress. ---
