Electrical Currents.

We have in the case of electric
waves along a wire and a current
within it, and the equa tons of Max
we'll allow us to calculate these with
perfect accuracy and give all the
laws with respect to them.
We thus find that the velocity of
propagation of the waves along a
wire, hung far away from other bod
les and made good conducting ma
terial, is that OF light, or 1S5 900
miles per second; but when it is hung
near any conducting matter, like the
earth, or enclosed in Il cable and sunk
into the sea, the velocity becomes
much less. When hung in space.
away from other bodies, it forms, as
it were, the core of a system of
waves in the other, the amplitude of
the disturbance becoming less and
less as we move away from the wire.
But the most curious fact is that the
electric current penetrates only a
short distance into the wire, being
mostly confined to the surface, es-
pecially where the number of oscilla-
tions per second is very great. II

Gigantic Ghost in White.

1t is said that q ghost was seen iii
the ridges of Walker county, Ga, by
some parties returning from church.
1t appeared in the road, about as
near us they could guess 100 yards
ahead OF them. 1t was in the shape
of q human when first seen-eyes
looked like two great balls of fire,
teeth as white as snow, hair almost
trailing on the ground. AS they
neared the object it appeared as a
woman dressed in white and Of giant
size. The party became scared, and,
but for fear of being laughed at !,
would have turned and run. A few
moments consultation with renewed
energy caused them to advance.
They had moved but a few steps
when the ghost commenced moving
backward, all the time appearing
larger to the frightened party. 1t
moved on about 200 yards, when
very suddenly it appeared toexplode
and throw it's fragments in every
direction, resembling the explosion
OF coal oil lamp. Every fellow
made for his respective home, scared
within an inch Of his life. Noexplan-
alton Of the apparition has been OF
1ered.- Cincinnati EnGuirer.

A Laugh That Rings.
From the Chicapo Journal

From the Chicago Journal
a young man who is credited by
his friends with being a good deal of
a philosopher, penned me up in a
corner today and harangued me as
follows: "Did you ever study the
human laugh as an index to human
character? 1t is an infallible test, me
boy. Did you ever know q man who
simpered and giggled like a.girl who
wasn't O sneak in his heart? And, on
the contrary, did you ever know u
fellow who laughed squarely out with
u good honest roar who wasn't the
prince of good fellows?
"A shrill laugh is indicative of de-
ceit, and q deep chuckle proves sin
eerity and good nature. By this l
don't mean that q man with tenor
voice can't laugh US though he was
honest, or one with bass voice COW
rr his insincerity with a mere below,
It's the ring that talks. Ii the laugh
has no ring in ii you can put the iel-
low down as q halfhearted cuss, no
matter it his laugh is loud enoughto

Plants Protected by Their Juices

When q drop Of the juice 81 sorrel,
garlic. saxifrage, or nasturtion is
put upon the tegumentofa snail the
animal manifests pain and exudes
abundance of it's mucus secretion;
yet it is not thus affected BY q drop
OF water. When snails avoid plants
marked by such juices we have O
right to regard the plants as defend
ed by a chemical armor. The often
sive substance may also be impor-
tant to the nutrition of the plant,
but that is not the question we are
dealing with here. Many plants are
evidently lacking in this means Of de-
Tense; for, OF some plants, all the an
finals experimental upon have been
found to prefer fresh to dead parts.
Others are never touched by them,
whether living or dead. Hence we
may conceive that an infinite variety
may exist in the degrees Of chemical
armoring between total absence OF
protection and complete protection.
Plants containing perceptible tan
min are disagreeable to nearly all an
imals. Only swine will eat acorns as
if they regard them as food. Other
animals reject them, except when
they cannot get anything else.
Leguminous plants containing tan
min in weak proportions are eaten
by horses and cattle, but snails are
not fond Of them. But the garden
snail, which let's fresh clover alone,
will eat it freely after the tannin has
been extracted with alcohol Henry

Monthly.

His Female Accomplice.

A certain man, who was latelywed,
dWelt In the country far from the
noise OF any town. 1t CHANGED one
night that his wife fell sick, and, be-
ing ignorant Of the ways OF women
folk he mounted his cart horse and
galloped exceeding fast toward the
town in search of a skillful leech.
On the road he met a gaunt and
Wlthered bag, who asked him:
WHITTIER SO fast. good MANI"

sick unto DEATH"

NAY, mother, take the first which
God leadeth me to-" ..
Whereupon the ancient dame gave
him q sprig ofeuphrasy and said:
"Hold this to thy eyes when thou
lookest at doctors house, and thou
wilt straightway see the ghosts OF
those who have died from his bung-
ling. Take thou the doctor with the
fewest GHOSTS
Thereafter whenever that man came
to doctors house he held the mys-
tic herb to his eyes, and Oddzooks!
fearful sight met his clairvoyant
gaze. Around every doctors door
shivered a CHASTITY crowd of uneasy
ghosts, and what seemed strange to
that man, the larger and more com.
Portable the house, the greater was
the awesome troop at the door.
Through the deserted streets he
galloped from doctors house to doe
tors house, seeking in vain for one
whose gates were not besieged by I'M
easy spirits. At length, up quiet
lane, he espied a modest house bear
ing doctors single, and 10! but a
solitary ghost sat upon the door
sill.
Here, by Gods grace" quoth the
man, 'is the doctor for me-" A..
But little time had passed, I ween,
before that stout horse was bearing
the man and his physician along the
road to the sick woman.
When they were we'll on toward the
end of their journey the doctor smil-
eel a pleasant smile to see, and said:

StrYchnia and Snakes.

DR.. Mueller, an Australian physi-
Ian, has successfully treated q num-
Der of cases of snake bite with strych-
MIA. This he has done on the hypo-
thesis that the poison affects the
nerves, weakening and paralyzing,
them in fact, that the venom is not,
after all, a poison in the common
sense, and does not directly cause
any change of tissue. It's effect is
simply produced by the operation
OF dynamic force-tEat is, it suspends
the action Of the nerve cells for a
longer or shorter period. Hitherto
all antidotes have been administered
ON the theory that the virus affected
the blood, and the most successful
results have come from the admins
tration of alcohol, which seemed to
maintain the strength of the sufferer
until the poison was eliminated by
natural means.
DR.. Mueller's theory at first sight
is at variance with the fact that the
blood in case ofsnake bite does actu-
ally change, but his explanation of
this change is that the pulmonary
capillaries, through which the blood
corpuscles pass when going to the
lungs to exchange the carbonic acid
OF effete blood for fresh and life Civ
ing oxygen. have lost their power:
They owe the tension-the healthy
contracting Dower-to the influence
OF the vase motor nerves, and when
the latter are paralyzed the corpus
cles lose their power, SO to speak,
squeezing out by the superAuous car
bonic acid, and leaving the corpuscles
free to take up oxygen. Thus the
corpuscles pass through the lungs
unchanged, carrying back to the
heart blood as full of carbonic acid
as 5hey brought from it, and they
themselves absolutely die bursting
is consequence OF this load ofcarbon-
ic acid. DR.. Mueller's remedy is the
Injection of strychnia by means OF
the hypodermic sy ringe, the applica-
ton of artificial heat, and the inter
ference with the tendency of the pa
tient to sleep. He thus setsup a rival
dynamic force which fights it cut
with the original poison. and if the
antidote is applied in time generally
with success.-London Hospital.

Odd Private Charities.
From Conversations in Studio"

from conversations in Studio"
\ For my own part I cannot help
1eellng more admiration for secret,
spontaneous, unexpected, and even
odd private charities, which seek no
reward and hide out Of sight, than
Tor those who were made with a
great flourish before the world. For
instance there was b., who in cross
ing the English Channel fell in with
a lonely old lady, whom lie had never
seen, and out of pure kindness OF
heart he helped her to seat and
paid her number Of little atten-
tions, to make her comfortable, and
finally on arrival, called cab, put
her into it, and said goodbye; and
shortly afterward the old lady died,
and to the astonishment of b., she
lett him all her money. Now this is
what | call dear old lady, and
have never failed since then to be
polite attentive to every old lady l
meet in my travels. Then again.
there was the artist whom I knew
IN Florence years ago, who was
struggling through adversely, with
no orders and no hopes of any, when
one day a notary came into his
studio and informs him that an old
gentleman opposite an Englishman.
OF course--has just died and left him
his entire fortune. .'But [ didn't
know him; it must be u mistake, 2
said A. "But he knew you, and it is
n no mistake said the notary; "and
though he never spoke to you, he
used to watch you, and he informed
himself about you, and then made
his willin your favor, and l am come
to announce the fact to you" I need
not say that from that dav forward
he had more orders than he could
execute. But this is the way of the
world. Still another person know
whose ancestor obtained fortune
from an utter stranger simply by
opening his pew door to him a seat.
The stranger had entered the church
and was rather embarrassed where
to go. The cold Christian shoulder
was turned on him as he went down
the aisle, until this gentleman, OBJ
serving his shyness, rose, opened his
pew, and motioned him to take q
place in it. The stranger thanked
him on leaving the church after SER
vice. informed himself of his name by
the hymn book, went home, and left
him a fortune by his will.
