Pure Air From Above.

Prometheus, according to the sto-
ry OF the Greek mythology, stole fire
from heaven and brought it down on
earth. 1t appears, says the Newcas
tile Chronicle, that the performanc &c
OF a somewhat analogous service is
gravely contemplated by the pro-
moters of the Watkin tower, not fire,
but pure air, being the useful COM
modify which it is intended to con-
vey from the lofty height to thelower
level for the benefit of mankind. The
tower is to be not less than 1900
Extraordinarily higher than it's
prototype in Paris. .....
At this atmospheric point, air,
even in London, is declared to be alb
solutely pure; and it isproposed that,
by means of machinery specially de-
vised for the purpose, a supply of
fresh air shall be drawn to the street
level, and thence distributed to
houses and public buildings as water
and gas now are. The project, to
the non-scientifc mind at least, may
look rather shadowy, albeit the OF
Ject aimed at is so excellent and
worthy that it is to be hoped that
it mny not be destined to remain in
nubibus.

They Didn't Catch Him.

A big night hawk flew into the Ger
man Lutheran Church in New Haven,
Conn, while Prof. J. 3. Whittecker,
Of Rochester, was lecturing on "The
Follies and Foibles of Modern Life, :"
nnd for fifteen minutes excitement
reigned. A night hawk is a blunder-
ing creature in it's flight, and as the
wide-winged bird darted back and
forth in the sanctuary in great
sweeps and circles just above the audi
ence it's spotted pinions cleaning
specter-like as it hummed through the
air, women screamed and darted
about the pews, and finally the lee
turer had to stop talking for fifteen
minutes. Everyone was afraid of the
bird, for AS it skinned along the gal
lery front and shot among the heads of
the people, once passing so close to the
face OF Prof Whittecker it fairly took
the words ofhis text out of his mouth,
it went with the speed of a rocket,
and it seems it must go slambang
into somebody or something in it's
dizzy turns. Once a wise man shout
ed, "Catch the bird!'' and the pro
found advice set the congregation to
laughing. Finally the hawk, in a
random dash, accidentally secuted
through the window, and then the
lecture went on again.

The Finest Thermometer.

The Death Plant Of Java.

"a magnificent kali mujah, or
death plant of Java, has been re-
Gently received in Philadelphia, !" says
the times of that city, ssby Mrs.
Madison Black. This specimen,
which is the only living one that has
ever been brought to this country
was sent Mrs. Black by her brother
Jerome Hendricks, who went out as
missionary to the island. The kali
mujah is found only in the volcanic
districts of Java and Sumatra and
then rarely. It grows from to 81
leet in height, with long, slender
stems armed with thorns nearly an
inch long, and covered with broad
satin-smooth leaves of heart shape
and of delicate emerald on one side
and blood red, streaked with cream,
on the other
"The flowers of the death plant
are large, milk white and cup-like,,
being about the size and depth of a
large coffee cup and having the rim
guarded by fine, brier like thorns.
The popularity of the plant lies in
these flowers, which beautiful as they
are, distil continually deadly per-
fume SO powerful as to overcome, if
1uhaled any length of time, full
grown man, and killing all forms of
insect life approaching it. The per-
tune, though mere pungent,. is as
slckenlng sweet as chloroform, which
it greatly resembles in effect, produc-
ing insensibility, but convulsing at
the same time the muscles of the
face, especially those about the mouth
and eyes, drawing the former up in
to a grin. An Inhalation is followed
by violent headache and ringing.
in the ears, which gives way to
temporary deafness, often total
while it lasts. -.-.
"Other plants seems to shun the
kali mujah, which might be termed
the Ishmael OF the vegetable king
dom, for it grows isolated from every
other form OF vegetation, though
the soil about it may be fertile. All
insects and birds instinctively seem
to avoid all contact with it, but
when accidentally approached it has
been observed to drop to the earth,
even when as far from it as 3 feet,
and unless at once removed soon
died, evincing the same symptoms as
when etherized. r~-

The Ravages Of the Buffalo

=
Bug.
From Popular Science.
It is found that few of the usual
preventives are of any use against
the attacks Of this beetle, and for
this reason it is a difficult pest to
eradicate. In some places it has
proved SO destructive that carpets
have to be dispensed with, and in
their place rugs are used, as being
more conveniently examined.
Tallow, or tallowed paper placed
around the edges of the carpet, which
are often the parts first attacked, is
said to be effectual. En- many cases
the carpets are cut, as if with scis-
sors, following the line of the seams
IN the floor, and as a remedy for this
it has been recommended that the
seams be filled during; the winter
with Gotten saturated with benzine.
Kerosene, naphtha, or gasoline are
offensive to the beetle as we'll as ben
zine, but benzine is perhaps the sim
plest and safest preventive to use.
1t can be poured from tin can hav-
ing a very small spout, it being nee.
essary to use but little.
Before tacking down a carpet it
should be thoroughly examined, and
II possible steamed. If in spite of
precautions carpet is found infest-
ed, wet cloth can be spread down
along the edges, and hot iron pas
sed over it, the steam thus general
ed not only killing the beetles and
larvae, but destroying any eggs that
may have been laid. Clothing is
sometimes attacked as well as OBJ
Jects OF natural history-such as
stuffed birds and mammals.
1t was believed that the beetle
must feed on some plant, for in a
number ofcases it was captured out
OF doors, and it was finally discover
ed out feeding on the pollen of the
flowers of spiraas, the beetle living
on the plant for a while and then re-
turning to the house to lay it's eggs.
When this was proved it was, sug-
gesued that spiraas should be plant
ed around houses infested by the
beetle; by doing this the plants could
be often examined and the beetles
destroyed.

His Double Break,
Louisville Commercial.

Louisville Commercial
II witnessed a very laughable in
cident last winter,"- said a Frank
fort man the other day, "and the
moral, if there be any to the story,
is thata man should know the crowd
before whom he talks indiscriminate-
ly. 1t was in the court of appeals
chamber just after the adjournment.
A crowd of gentlemen were sitting
around and the chief spokesman was
a loquacious member of the Frank
fort genus loafer, who was not &C
quainted with all present. One of
the brightest young lawyers in the
state had just stepped out after max
ing speech. He had been drinking,
and the Frankfort man said: What
mistake some fellows make in
thinking they speak better when they
are half full of whisky. Now I have
heard that our two senator's keep
soaking full when, on duty, and |
think it is a shame.''
"'One Of them has quit quietly
remarked one of the gentlemen pres,
ent.
"'Which one? was the query.
"1 have, answered Senator Black
burn, and he got up and walked out.
"The dumfounded, talkative man
caught his breath and said: well,
now, that was one dirty break of
mine. 1 didn't know Blackburn was
within thousand miles ofhere. But
[ don't care. have heard that Sena-
tor Blackburn drinks to much to
sustain even a Kentuckian's reputa-
tion.' :.
"still another stranger spoke up
with: We'll, he just never did drink
to an excess, and l know that Uncel
Joe hasn't touched drink in a year
1t was Senator Blackburn's nephew
this time, and the talkative man
made his escape without standing on
the order of his going"

Don't Ride Large Horses.

It has always been a source Of
wonder why such tall horses are in
demand for saddle use. If there is
anything more ridiculous than a
slight, delicate girl of 20 or there
abouts mounted on a sixteen hand
charger and resembling a mosquito
on a mastiff. it is tall, long legged
man on a fourteen and a half hands
high pony. Proportion your horse
to your size and then you will both
look and ride better. In fact, it has
come about, probably from England,
that horses used for riding are too
large for either pleasure or comfort.
