The Marion Taylor. Don Smith and
the Mehama bridges are all right.
The small bridge north on
the Mehama road over Stout creek
Is still standing but singular to re-
late the creek has cut out a new
channel and Is running entirely on
the other side Of the bridge, leaving
it standing high and dry. The dam
age is not 80 great as was first ex-
pected In that district.
FROM HOWELL PRAIRIE.
A gentleman just in from Howell

Memorial to wendell Phillips.

The proposition to erect in this city a
memorial hall of such a size and char.
acter as to appropriately indicate the
extent of Boston's generation for one
of her most eminent citizens-Wendell
Phillips-will undoubtedly call forth a
quick and generous response. 1t is the
intention to dedicate the hall in 1893.
The building is to be essentially a
Cooper institute" for Boston, with
memorial features that will make It
stand to the period it commentaries as
Pilgrim hall and Forcfathers' monu-
ment to the first settlement of New
England and as Faneuil hall and Bunk
er Hill monument to the revolutionary
era.
The work Of collecting the necessary
money is In the hands of a legally cor
porated body, OF which Gen. Benjamin
r. Butler is president and Gov. j. Q.
A. Bracket is treasurer, with a repre-
sentative and efficient board Of direc.
tors. There is already quite an amount
assured toward the building and the
advisory board having the matter In
charge is now moving TO secure the ad-
ditional means, with particular and
immediate reference TO money for the
land on which the building is to be
erected. Boston Herald.

How ROthschiId Got Rich.

The late Baron Charles Rothschild
was n day asked by a friend whom
he had taken with him on change at
his request TO tell him the secret Of
getting rich by specluations on the
bourse, as the same people always did
business with each other. and il was
therefore natural to suppose that the
profits and losses would he equalized in
the long run.
Just count the number Of gentle
men who are now making the biggest
noise" said the baron.
There are fourteen of Them
very good; we will come and count
them again in a fortnight"
They did so, and this time there were
only eleven.
You see," said Rothschild, 'the
three that are missing have been swal-
lowed up by the rest"
Then how must you 90 about 1t II

A Diamond shortcake.

A wealthy jeweler of this city, willie
dining in a restaurant, emphasized a
remark by striking the table with his
fists. A valuable diamond he wore on
his finger disappeared with the blow,
and though the place was carefully
searched the stone could not be found.
Soon after the hunt had been aban.
doned a customer named Spencer was
served with n piece Of strawberry short
cake, and as he passed his knife
through il it struck something hard.
With a j~ocular remark to the waiter in
attendance the obstruction was re
moved, and proved to be the lost dia-
mond. 1t was returned to the owner.

Death to Insects.

Professor Lintner, New York state
entomologist. has made a microscopic
examination of the insect collections Of
a single electric light, and estimates that
the debris which he inspected repre-
scented 80, 900 insects. As many of the
smaller forms of insect life probably
constituted the larger portion Of those
attracted to DIES .ruction by the light,
he believes that he average number of
insects destroyed in a night by a single
electric light is nearly 100, 600.
The larger portion of Professor Lint
ner's specimen collection from one light
consisted of minute gnats. Inidges, crane
flies and similar small two winged in
sects. No mosquitoes were discovered
among the victims, as they are not at
tracted to the lights. There were, how
ever, large numbers of plant bugs.
which are injurious to vegetation, par
ticularly of M small species of a hand
some green gassid, which feeds upon
our grasses. A number of the moths
and one of the leaf rollers which have
made such havoc in our fruit trees
were found, as well as other species of
the same family. Professor Lintner In
speaking Of his examination said:
II was sorry to see quite a number Of
the beautiful gauze wings among the
heaps of the slain, as their larva are
the aphis lions, which aid in keeping
down phides or plant lice"
THE electric light" to quote Profess
sOr Lintner, will undoubtedly prove
an active agent in the reduction Of in
sect pests, and also furnish entomolo-
gists with many rare specimens and
with many species never before seen

cHlNA'S GREAT WALL.
AMissionary Describes the Structure That
Was Built 1000 Years Ago.

was buiit l,OOO Years Ago.
The Rev. William =. Sprague, Of
Kalgan, North China. writes as follows
to The Missionary Herald:
II any N doubts the existence of
China's great wall let him come with
me to kalgan and see for himself the
identical wall luilt by the first Emperor
Chin, in 200 b. c.
Take n steamer across the Pacific to
Tientsin, then native boat up the Pei
Ho river three days. then pack saddle
or mule litter five days more, through
mountains and plains to kalgan. Be-
fore you reach the city you see a dark
line along the hill tops just beyond the
town, and by the time you enter our
compound you see the wall stretching
away over the mountains as far as the
eve can reach, both east and west, with
towers on all the prominent elevations.
As we pay il a visit for closer inspec-
ton you find il a windrow or ridge of
reddish brown porphyry rock broken,
not cut, into irregular blocks. These
are so well fitted to each other that the
outer surface Is tolerably smooth and
has somewhat the appearance of crazy
patchwork.
II is about 10 feet broad at the base
and Is feet high, the ddes sloping to q
sharp ridge, like a steep house roof.
You may follow this wall eastward to
the sea and westward to the Kansuh,
the northwestern province, and so do
ing you will have traversed the entire
northern frontier of China, l,5O0 miles.
Though you find several hundred miles
of adobe sun dried mud wall, yet other
hundreds of miles are of good brick and
higher than at kalgan. BY the time
you have traced its length you will be
willing TO concede not only that China
has a great wall, but also that the ruler
who could conquer so vast a country,
drive out the invading Tartars and
build a fertilization l,500 miles long TO
keep them out was worthy to be called
the first emperor and to give his name
(Chinal to the country.
II any m laughs mt the folly Of
spending so much labor on such a use.
less defense let him remember that il
was a defense only against horseback
riders, armed with nothing but bows
and arrows. A few guards ON the
watch towers could, with their signal
fires on the mountain tops, easily rouse
the villagers far and neal to the defense
Of their homes. And this well accom-
plished its purpose for over a thousand
years, when the great Ghenghis Khan,
with his brave Mongol followers. broke
his way through.
This section of the great wall be.
come for half a mile the city wall of
Kalgan. A beautiful temple is built on
this wall to celebrate Ghenghis Khan's
victorious passage.
This two thousand year old wall is
little known to the world at large, be-
cause there Is another wall much often
er visited and described by visitors
from the western world. 1t is near
Picking, and a far more imposing struct-
ure. This is only an inner arm of the
great wall, but 500 miles long and not
80 old by 700 years. II is built of cut
granite and good brick, and is 80
feet wide at its base. % feet wide at
the top and 80 feet high. 1t is a fine
sight as it winds over the highest noun
tain tops.
