the success equal to that of the Sons OF
the American Revolution. Within the
next few months 1t IL expected that .
State society will be Ia existence In every

some Misunderstanding as to the nature
ard object of the organization.
Article 1 OF the constitution OF the
Delaware Society says:
The purpose of the society Is TO keep
alive among ourselves aud our descend
ants the patriotic spirit of tho men who,
In military, naval or civil service, by
their acts or counsel, achieved American
Independence; to collect and secure for
preservation the manuscript role, rec
ords and other documents relating to the
War OF the Revolution; and to promote
social intercourse snd good feeling
among its members now and hereafter.
Another article says that:
Any person shall be eligible for mem
bership IN the society who is above the
age Of 81 years and who is descended
from an ancestor that assisted, while
acting In any OF the following capacities,
In establishing American Independence
| A military or . naval officer; q soldier Of
| sailor; an Official In the service OF any
ono Of the 10 original states or colonies
| an official In tho service of the United
States or colonies, or a recognized patriot
who rendered material service In the
cause Of Independence.

Catching Rattlesnakes for Oil.

There are places in South Georgia
where men extract oil from the rattle
snake and use it to cure rheumatism.
These persons will give colored man ST
to point out rattlesnake to them, and
then they kill it in peculiar manner.
They place forked stick over the snakes
head, then put cord around it and
strangle the snake. This is done to keep
the snake from biting itself. The body
of the reptile is then strung up and the
oil extracted from it. 1t sells at 81 per
ounce, and this industry is a very profit
able one. The snakes in that section are
very large, averaging five feet in length,
and one RATHER gives up great deal of
oil. A little negro boy once saw two
rattlers lying close together, and wanted
to get the money for finding them. It
was mile to the nearest house. He was
afraid the snakes would crawl off while
he was gone, and so took off his coat aud
placed 1t between the two snakes. He
went off, came back, and found them
still cycling the coat. He had them
charmed. So the snake is cultivated
down there as profitable industry

Deep-red Cotton Stalks.

Three years ago, while Mr.. John Boles
was hoeing cotton, he found two stalks
of cotton that were deep red color all
over, stalk and leaf. The cut worms
cut down one stalk and the other stalk
matured only four bolls. 1t grew on
the edge of q pit where some one had
been digging for gold, and the soil was
very thin. Mr.. Boles saved the seed of
the four bolls and planted them in his
garden, and they produced red stalks
again, and from this planting he got
pint of seed and next year one half gal
Ion of seed. He saved every seed and
planted them, and the next fall he had
twenty-eight pounds of seed, with which
he planted about an acre of land last
spring, and every stalk of it is deep red
color, stalk, leaf, boil and bloom-the
blooms are red when they open. The
lint of this cotton is longer and finer
than common cotton, and has no notes
in it, and the yield per acre is greater
than the cotton growing by the side of
it, and it blooms two weeks sooner than
other cotton. Mr.. Boles is often asked
by persons going along the road if his
cotton has not been struck by lightning.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL


From experiments by DR.. LedenfeId
on sponges, it appears that absorption of
food does not take place at the outer sur
face, but in the interior. When poisons
are put in the water, the sponge contracts
its pores, and the action is very Ike that
of poisons on muscles of the higher ami
mails.
DR.. Dixon, Professor of Hygiene at
the University of Pennsylvania, has been
making some experiments with air and
dust obtained in street cars. He has
found In them the germs of many dis
eases, contagious and otherwise. Better
ventilation and more effective cleansing
are sorely needed.
A remarkable invention has been made
in Austria, whereby the serious effects of
railway collisions are prevented. Glass
tubes project before the train, and if
they are broken by an obstacle, an
electric movement is applied to the
brakes, bringing the train Immediately
to standstill.
The Il" road companies in New York
are doing their utmost just nov to mini
mize the noise made by their trains, and
on some of the roads they have sue
ceeded, but they are still far from having
the noiseless trains which SO delight the
heart of the traveller in Berlin, and the
service has a great many lacks.
Experiments made in Sweden by NJ.
Sandberg on the strength of iron rails
during the winter have shown that steel
rails containing over four per cent. of
carbon are apt to break in cold weather.
In fact, the result of his Investigations
points to the use Of rails having less car.
bon in countries as cold in winter as Nor.
way and Sweden.
An electric motor is in successful
operation for wood-sawing in Lewiston,
Me. 1t is six-horse power and with a
twenty-six inch saw, which was driven
at velocity of 145G revolutions per
minute. The proprietor claims that with
a six-horse power electric motor he can
do more work than with a tcn-horso
power steam engine.
The heart contracts with power enough
to send column of blood seven and
half to nine feet high. At every beat OF
heart of average size and strength, the
force exerted is equal to moving over fifty
pounds; or to lifting pound weight
upward distance of three and a half to
four and a half feet, say four feet; or to
carrying four poAnds, one foot upward.
Professor Samuel Cushman, apiarist OF
the Rhode Island agricultural experiment
station, maintains, as the result of
personal observation, that bees do no
damage to growing or fair fruit. The
juice of fruit is, in fact, injurious to
them; and they do not attack sound fruit,
but only bruised fruit, or that which has
been previously injured by other insects.
A beet sugar mandatory, with ca.
pacity of 400 tons a day, is said to be
almost completed at Grand Island, Neb.
The beet has sixteen per cent. of sugar,
and farmers realize $50 per acre at 81
per ton for the root. The diffusion pro.
cess of extracting the saccharine principle
is used. In fourteen battery circuit il
is claimed that the remarkable result of
1878 per cent. of the sugar can be ex.
tracted.

A siamese Execution.

"a few months ago murderer was exc
cnted at Bangkok, says DR.. E. P.
Thwing, few miles from where I am
now writing. Captain Morris, who was
present, gives me the following facts
1t was pleasant November morning.
in the tropics there is no winter. The
palm, the mango and rhododendron are
not blighted by frost, and the thrush,
the dove and oriole need not seek a
balmier cline than this. But the bloom
of flower and song of bird were not
needed by the doomed one, a man Of
about 35 years. The procession came to
a Buddhist temple in the suburbs. A
double file of soldiers formed into hol-
low square forty yards in length. They
were dressed in gray holland stuff with
red facings, in peaked caps with red
band and tassel. They carried side arms
and rifles and wore no sandals. A civil
officer was in charge. A dozen specta-
tors were allowed to sit on bench inside
the lines and perhaps three hundred
natives looked on from without.
The chains were removed from the
arms of the prisoner and he was fastened
by cords to post in the ground. He
knelt with his back to an altar made of
few stones, on which were an earthen
jar and a few joss sticks. The execu-
toner stepped to the victim and spoke a
WORD OF two to ask his forgiveness in do
ng what he was required to do and then
returned to the altar where he presented
his sword as if to have it sanctified or
accepted. His assistant took mass of
mud, plugged the ears of the man with
it, and made mark with the same across
the back of the neck where the blow was
to fall. The sword was double edged,
long, Japanese style.
With apparent reluctance the officer
in charge, an elderly man, gave the fatal
sign. The headsman started from the
altar, forty feet from the victim, and
walked with long strides, swinging in
air his sword with each stride. The
blade fell with the final step and the
head of the murderer came off as
smoothly as when removed by guillotine.
1t was then placed on pointed bamboo
and left on the execution ground, ter
ror to evil doors. The assistant then
chopped off the heels to remove the irons
'iOlu cAiO dAhiOo, dud ACAt tuc IcludiuS lOI
dogs and vultures.
Cremation is common in Siam where
people can afford the expense. Five
hundred thousand dollars or more have
been spent in royal cremation service.
The scene, though CHASTITY, is vastly in
advance of other days when wretches
were boiled in oil, crushed under weights,
or sawn asunder. Pictures of these dia-
bolical deeds are seen in the corridors of
the Bangkok palace. On Canton execu-
ton ground, which have visited twice
within a few weeks, formalities are much
more brief, probably because business in
this line is more brisk. Forone year the
daily average was over hundred heads.
Strange enough, substitutes are accepted,
save in treason cases and in palricide and
matricide, and the sum paid is small.
The act, it is supposed, brings blessing
in the other world to him who is the
vicarious sacrifice.
