SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS,

An entlreiy new rose, Calico tne
''rainbow rose" was exhibited at re-
cent flower show in San Francisco. 1t
is small, and of delicate shade of rose
pink, with darker bars running length
wise of the petals.
After immersion In water for thirty
seven days, specimens OF pine were
found by Professor D. V. Wood to
have been heightened 0. 1e5 per cent,
oak 0.OS5 per cent, and chestnut 0. 065
per cent, the lateral swelling being 2. 6
per cent. for pine, B.. per cent. for
oak, and 8. IS per cent. for chestnut.
An English scientist has been making
experiments to determine the important
part which light plays in the develop
ment of animal life. A dozen tadpoles
were confined in a box from which
every ray of light was excluded. The
result was that only two of them devel-
oped into frogs, and those were short
lived. The others increased considera-
bly, in size, but never left the dpole
form.
The recent discovery by New Eng
land chemist of cheap method of dis
solving zinc by combining it with hy-
drogen is regarded as most valuable
one. The product is solution called
zinc water, and has the property of
making wood to which 1t has been ap-
piled absolutely ireproof, and at a very
low cost. This discovery is likely to
revolutionize fire ins urance, as we'll as
to immensely decrease the loss by fire.
In New Granada, South America,
grows plant which is locally known
as the 'ink plant. Its juice serves,
without the slightest preparation, as
ink. At first the writing appears red,
but in a few hours it assumes deep
black hue. Several sheets of manu-
script, written with this natural ink,
became soaked with sea water on their
journey to Europe, but when dried, the
writing was found to be still perfectly
clear.
A peculiar tendency in idiots to i'm
perfections and disease in the teeth has
been noticed by several physicians -
it has been studied in 100 cases of
idiots at random. The multiplicity
and variety of the dental less IONS were
remarkable and the concl usion has been
drawn that ID iocy, with or without epil-
epsy, predis)os TO arrests of develop.
ment and . anomalies of dentition.
The effect rarely appears in the first
teeth, but almost wholly in the second.
In Europe the telephone as disease
disseminate is under discussion. A
Frenchman has dis covered a new disc =
der termed 'aural overpressure, caus
by the constant strain of the audito
apparatus in shouting through the tel,
phone. In some cases the tinking
the bell has affected the ears of person
the same way that infamed eyes canne (
bear the light. The patients suffer from
nervous cxcitability, with buzzing noises
in the ear, giddiness and neuralgia

Strive to be the noblest man,
Not what others do;

Jack Frost
From over the hills, with breath Of flame,
From over the hills old Jack Frost came.
Came so softly that nobody knew.
Till the land beautiful picture grew.
The elm leaves turned to golden brown,
Each willow was decked with a golden
crown,
The thistle-down broke from its prison cell,
And the nuts from their clinging burrs as
WE'LL
The naples famed on the green hillside
And color ran wild Ger the country wide,
AS over the hills, with breath of fame
Old Jack Frost, the ice king, came.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Editor of NeaUs f:

~S~oSN'
 Assuming your paper to be an organ promotive of the welfare of the com munity, I wish to make 1t a channel through which to declare myself espec ially interested in the welfare of the Town of North Canaan. Most certainly newspaper declaring its object to be "to mold public opinion" and a church protesting loyalty to the good tidings of Jesus the Son of Man will find them selves moving in some lines which are paralled and can be mutually helpful in their work. How can the chief speakers in either enterprise look upon saloon as other than public nuisance, or the voting of license in any town as other than reproach to it's citizens! How can we but feel that the highest wellbeing of our town demands a 'no license' vote at our next meeting!
 believe 1t is to be called for in the interest of 'protection" both to the christian public opinion" which pre- valls in our community and for the Sons of Man. who may live among us or may chance to visit us.
 For a few plain words in support of this statement I invite attendance at the Pilgrim church service next Sunday morning. Very truly yours,
 DWIGHT c. STONE,
 Pastor of the church.
 Canaan, Conn.,, Sept 30, go The editor desires to say that every reader of THE NEWS knows the editors sentiments ill regard to the license question, as he has repeatedly expressed them during the last seveu years, and he does not feel called upon to deliv. CT a temperance lecture to-day. He has sometimes felt that while the major ity of his readers secretly concurred with his views they were afraid to open ly endorse them, therefor, it is refresh ing and encouraging to have the clergy or the church recognize the ally whicl ] they have in THE NEWS. We are glao ! that the Revs Stone and Baragwanatl will preach temperance sermons in their respective pulpits next Sunday morning, and we can best express ou1 approval by quoting the homely expres sion or rhyme:
 | The poet wrote the sonnet, | Go it, Sal,
 My charming gal, l And will hold your bonnet.
