interesting of modern theatrical attempts
Is that Of NJ. Maurice Bouchor, the brill
liant poet. who. in May. 1888. opened at
his own risk and expense q small house
in the Galerie Vivienne. where during the
winter season dramatic representations
are given in which, strangely enough.
puppets are substituted in the scene for
human performers. The interpreters, as
I say. are mere marionnettes, but they do
work of higher order than that usually
expected from flesh and blood actors and
actresses. for they render the masterpieces
Of such transcendeut writers as -ESchy-
lus. Aristophanes, Shakespeare. Ger
vantes. Calderon, Lope de Vega. Machia-
velh. for which ordinary comedians are
rarely suited. The mar1onnettes-work

This specimen of the Drac8na Draco is
described as follows by Popular Science
News: The foliage is rs feet in circumfer-
ence, and begins about seven feet above the
ground. The thickness of the trunk as
often equal to the height Of the tree. The
leaves, growing in terminal punches, are
about two feet long and one to two inches
wide, terminated by a sharp point. The
greenish-white flowers are borne in loose
terminal panicles.
The most important product of the
plant, however, is the red gum which ex-
udes from the trunk, and forms one Of the
several kinds of dragons blood of the
druggists.
The DracRna is a native Of the East In
dies, and only thrives in Europe in eycep-
tionally favorable situations. Probably
the warmer climate Of certain parts of this
country would allow it TO be easily natu-
rallied and become an acceptable addition
TO our fora, both for purposes Of ornament
and as a source of supply of a valuable in
gredient of paints and vaTnishes.

The Pumpkin.

All, on Thanksgiving dag, when from east and
from west,
From north and from south come the pilgrim and
guest,
When the gray haired New Rnglander sees round
his board
The old broken links Of affection restored,
When the care weared man seeks his mother
once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled
before,
What moistens the lip and what brightens the
eyes
What calls back the past Ike the rich pumpkin
pie?
oh-fruit loved Of boyhood, the old days recall
fn-,
When wood grapes were purpling and brown nLts
were falling
When Wild, ugly faces we carved in its skin.
Glaring out through the dark with a candle with

When We laughed round the corn heap, with
hearts al in tune.
Our chair broad pumpkiu-our lantern the

Telling tales % the fairy who Travelled Ike steam

LINES OF MAGNETIC FORCE.

Ampere's theory was that magnetic
bodies are made up Of molecules, round
which currents are always circulating IN
all directions when on-magnetized, but
when maSnetizcd the currents all flow In
the same direction. The space through
which magnet diIuscs its influence was
called by Faraday tae magnetic field.
The lines OF magnetic force will be under

Clearing Of Eorest Lands.

An invention patented in New Zealand,
it is claimed, will make the clearing Of
forest lands, removal Of old stumps, etc,
an easy matter 1t consists in a compost
tion with which trees can be poisoned,
mingling itself with tue sap, utterly de-
stroying the life and rendering the stand
ing tree in three months time dead and
rotten, and so highly infammabe that
when fired it burns away literally root and
branch. The process of incubation Is
simply the boring of hole about six inches
into tree with an inch auCrr, filing with
composition and afterward plugging with
cork, tough clay or other suitable sub
stance.

Pearl Producing CLANS.

Concerning the reported discovery Of
large numbers of pearl producing clans in
Wisconsin and the consequent excitement
in that state, Mr.. George Z. Kunz, the gem
expert with Tiffany & Co., is credited with
the statement that he had no doubt of the
truth of the report. He had recently spent
some time in Wisconsin, and had found
pearls there in large varieties and of great
value. He further said that in all the
limestone countries OF the United States
fresh water pearls We're to be found in the
beds Of brooks. TilfauY & Co had made
large purchases Of such pearls in the past
and would continue to DO 50, rs the best OF
them were almost equal in tint and lustre
TO oriental pearls.
These fresh water pearls are remarkable
for their countless shapes and many col
lors. Mr.. Kunz thought that the farmers
of Wisconsin and other pearl producing
districts should be warned against the de-
struction of the turio margariJiferus, the
animal producing the pearl. This mollusk
can be opened without killing it if care Is
taken, and when it is found that it has no
pearl, or that its pearl is undeveloped, 1t
should be replaced in Inc stream TO con-
tinue its process Of production.

The Supply of Natural Gas Diminishing.

1t is asserted that the pressure Of natural
gas wells in Indiana aud Ohio has already
diminished between 80 and 10 per cent,
and is steadily growing less. According
to Professor Ortou, even the strictest
measures which cities and states may take
to prevent waste in the use of gas cannot
prevent the supply from being exhausted
in few years. In this connection The
Engineering and Mining Journal notes the
fact that the Pennsylvania company has
taken the step of refusing to sell natural
gas in Erie, Pa, except By meter, charging
2215 cents per 900 cubic feet, in order to
prevent waste Of the gas. No factories
are to be furnished at any point on its
line, as all the gas viii be used for domes-

AT BENSON.
Etidshces of Prospsrity.~N New Store
Dancing Club. Balls etc.


There are no indications here of wild
boom, still there are substantial indica-
tions of feeling among the business
men of the place, that the outlook for
increased business at this point is good.
Benson was a rushing business place at
one time, but since the building of the
| New Mexico and Arizona railroad, much
of the business formerly done here is
now distributed along its line.
There is not any great complaint OF
dull times, and if cattle could be sold at
a reasonable figure, business would be
good; but cattlemen have all been hold
ing their herds as long as it was possible
to do so, in the hope of securing better
prices. The cattle men furnish a large
amount of the trade of this place.
Messrs. Levy & Raas, the enterprising
firm who recently commenced bushes in
Nogales, and who are the largest mer-
chants in Southern Pima, have recently
opened magnificent branch store here.
They have a large and elegant room,
with neat business office, where Mr..
| Chas. Altschul presides, and makes Gus
| toners welcome, and sees to the prompt
supplying of their every want. This is as
large a store as there is in the place, and
the goods are all new and fresh.
Benson is not without its old pioneer,
and Sam White, one Of the Oldest of
Arzonans, having arrived on the Santa
Cruz, near Calabasas, in 1856, is the
bureau of information on all points of
controversy about the early events in
Arizona. He keeps a saloon, and is do
ing very good business. He will build
an addition to his house soon, then he
Will be able 70 extend a more roomy &C
comrodajion To his customers.
The sons of the late Joseph Goldwater
continue the store owned by their father
here. They carry a large stock, and
| theirs is the oldest general store IN
| town.
Mr. H. Gerwein, the lumber man, has
charge, as proprietor, of the store for
merly owned by Clark Bros. He is a
| good business man, and patrons of his
store will have no cause to regret the
| change.
There are four saloons in Benson, the
one at the Virginia Hotel, Sam. White
Mr.. A. W. Gray and T. G. Delehanty;
they all seem to be dong fairly we'll
keep their respective places neat and
clean, and accord social and hospitable
treatment to all who extend patronage
in their direction.
The Virginia hotel, kept by Mr.
Castenado, is the only one in Benson
1 and is firSt-class throughout. The din
ing room is supplied with tables well
supplied with that which adds comfort
and satisfaction to the inner man. rooms
are neat, clean and with good beds and
| other furniture.
Owing to the prevailing low prices Of
cattle there has been but..few shipments
comparatively, from this point, though
there are reported to be plenty of cat
tie in the surrounding country in fine
condition for the market
