No bodies have been recovered, and owing to
the severity Of the storm at present it is impos-
sible to do anything with the mine. The works

1t has long been known that the
house fly and various other flies
have been the cause of malignant pus-
tule by carrying the contagion Of an
thraX from diseased animals or ami
NAL substance to man. During the
last year DIR. Alcssi has been expert
menting with flies to determine their
liability to spread the infection of tu-
b]erculosis. The bacillus of this dis,
ease was found in the intcstines and
eXcrement of flies which had Toasted
on tuberculous sputa; and their dried
~fasces, in which, with the aid of the
microscope, the bacillus was known to
exist, was used for inoculating rab-
bits, and the animals became tubercu-
lous. According to the Annals
d'Hygiene Publique," it has been
found in the Nile country that the
granular opthalma of that region can
be spread by house flies passing from
the eye Of those who are afflicted
with the disease to other persons

DIR. Urbanschitsch, of Vienna, has for
some time past been engaged in a series
of experiments on the mutual action of
the sense organs, and the results he has
obtained are most curious. The senses
of sight and hearing were shown by these
experiments to be to some extent de-
pendent III each other. Colored plates
were placed ut n distance where the col
ors could scarcely be distinguished, but
on the production of various sounds the
colors were more readily recognized, the
colors becoming the more distinct the
higher the pitch of the same. Printed
matter could also be read in n dimly
lighted room much better IL the ears
were simultaneously employed in receiv-
ing sounds Ii a in complete silence. In
like manner the activity of the eyes aid
in the recognition of sounds. The tick
ing of a watch was found to be more
easily heard in the light with the eyes
open than in the dark with the eyes
closed.
Various colors of light were found to
vary in their effects upon he auditory
organs, red and green strengthening and
blue and green weakening them. In the
case of taste and smell corresponding
effects were observed. Light in general,
and particularly red and green. heightens
their sensitiveness, while blue and yell
low, and still moro darkness, reduce it.
If a person is exposed TO red or green
light he can taste, not merely with the
anterior edges Of the tongue, but with
its whole surface. There is a curious
reciprocal action between the sense of
touch ms the heat sense, which, though
they have not distinct organs, are GER
tainly not identical. If the skin is
tickled with a hair and the hand is then
plunged into hot water the sensation
ceases If, on the other hand, any part
of the body is tickled, and the hand or
foot is thrust into cold water, the chilly
feeling is intensified Boston Herald.

THE RECORD.

A short time ago the Sun was denounc-
ing THE LEADER for having the audacity
To open up the Warren presumption mat
ter. In issue after issue of that paper it
was asserted that the matter mad been
twice Investigated by a Democratic admin
istration and after these Investigations the
patent had been issued. THE LEADER
then stated that the testimony produced at
these investigations if published might
put an end to all controversy This sug-
gcstion the Sun regarded with a cold and
hnuChy indifference for the very good
reason that no such evidence existed for
it to produce.
a LEADER representative met Hon. s.
NJ. Stockslager, late commissioner of the
general land office just before he left the
city for Lincoln yesterday morning. Mr..
Stockslager was appointed assistant COM
missioner of the general land Office upon
the accession of Cleveland. was acting
commissioner subsequently and some
months after the rctirementof Mr Sparks
was made commissioner.
When asked il any irregularity in the
Warren pre- emption matter had ever
been brought to the notice of the depart
ment he said it had not. 1t the atten-
ton of the department had been called
TO the matter an investigation would have
been ordered and no patent would have
been issued until the question Of it hav-
ing been honestly earned had been set
tied The files of the department showed
no reference to it and he had never heard
of the case until about last April when a
letter was received from Judge Peck.
Then an investigation was ordered, the
case was given into the hands of Judge
Bonfls. an agent of the land department
stationed here, and Mr.. Stockslager
never heard anything more about it for
the reason that he had been superseded
before the agents report reached the de-
partment.
This will probably explain to the satis-
faction of the public why the Sun failed
to produce the evidence of any alleged
Investigations under a Democratic admin
istration. 1t will also explain how Spec
ial Agent Bonfils on the other hand man
age to hold his job in consideration of
his whitewashing report and how on the
oIhor he has very successfully earned the
contempt OF all his party associates.

recorded, was current in Cumberland,

Matthew boswell, in Bothell, Cum

may happen, and to return to Bothell

Hodgson gives "A fat calf, to be roasted.
And in order that all this roast
meat may be well basted, do you see,
Mary Pearson, Patty Hodgson,
Mary Bushby, Molly Fisher, Sarah
Briscoe, and Betty Penthouse, give
each of them n pound of butter. The
advertiser will provide everything
else suitable for so festive an occasion.
AND HE Hereby GIVES NOTICE,
TO all young women, DESTROYS of
changing their condition, that he is at
present disengaged; and he advises
them to consider that although there
may be luck in leisure, yet, in this
case, delays are dangerous; for with
him, he is determined it shall be first
come first served.
80 come along, lassies, who wish to be marryd,
Matt boswell is vexed that so long he las
tarry'd."
Unfortunately, the world is without
any record of the wedding itself, or
whether Mr.. Doswell's plan of APP
pointing the day, before he had chosen
u bride, was followed by a wedding at

A NEeRo
Putting PIaythings and Medicine Bottles
on the Graves of Children.

on the Graves of Children.
While strolling last Sunday a little
way outside the city limits, near the
head of Eighteenth street, I noticed
two carriages filled with colored people
entering an Enclosure. l saw that it
was a cemetery and followed. A stall
wart negro took from one OF the car
riages a small coffin, and with the
ceremony of n short prayer, it was de-
posted in the earth. Six or eight
friends of the dead babe stood with
fearful eyes during the few minutes
occupied in filling the little grave;
then they re-entered the carriages and
drove away. Just before leaving a
woman, whom | judged to be the be
reayed mother, laid upon the mound
two or three infants toys.
Looking among the large number of
graves of children, / observed this
practice TO be very general. Some
were literally covered with p~laythings.
There were nursing bottles, rattle box
es, tin horses and wagons, "Noah's
ark" sets of dishes, marbles, tops,
china cups and saucers, states, picture
books in endless number and variety.
Many OF them had apparently lain
there for years, articles of n perishable
IA ny bttlA alDlOoI NtokIO1t gu
by sun and storm. There were very
few children's graves which did not
have something of this kind upon
them. On many of the larger graves
were pretty vases, s~tatuettes and other
articles suitable to more adult years.
Upon inquiry l was told that this
custom is almost universal among the
colored people in the south. The SEN
timent that prompts it readily suggests
itself, but it is not quite so easy to UNI
derstand another feature which / no
ticed. Upon fully half the small
graves, lying or standing, partly bur-
led in the earth. were medicine bot
ties of every size and shape. Some
were nearly full and all contained
or less of the medicine which
had no doubt been used in the effort
to ward off the visit of death. The
usual number of these on each grave
was from one TO three, but on one l
counted eight. The placing of these
bottles is certainly a singular conceit
and would seem TO border on super
stition. Just why they do it is not
clear. l was impelled by curiosity to
inquire of two or three negroes about
it, but they seemed no better able to
explain it than | was. One old woman
who was lettering about the cemetery
said in answer to my question:
II KANT tell ye why, mister, but
dey alters does it. When l was a chile
| hbed down in ole V~irginny, an it
was jes' de same dar. L dino, but
Inebbe dey thinks de medisan II hep
de chil'en arter deys buried, but /
don't see no good in it nohow."
This is tho nearest approach TO an
clined to coincide in it, such as it was
Washington Cor. Cleveland Leader.

DIR. Weyl also described the case of a
young man in Munich who had been
poisoned by the yellow dyeing matter
used in ~coloring russell shoes. After
wearing these shoes for one week the
young mans feet We're covered with
small yellow b~listers, which, in the mid
die of the second week, began to spread
to his ankles. HIS doctor had him give
up the shoes andcured the eruptions in
ten days. The yellow leather was subse-
quently examined at the Munich Hygi-
rnic institute, and was found to be satu-
rated with a dangerous yellow die. DR..
Weyl's advice to his colleagues was:

Several Orlando families have pet
sandhill cranes, which they find alert
night watchers. No tramp or thief can
approach their premises without hearing
a clear bugle note of alarm. Maj. Foster
has a flock of cranes. He had one pair
TO which the wild ones paid frequent
visits, and several were enticed under
wire netting and their wings clipped.
A farmer finds that a pair of these birds
are as good as two hands at keeping the
