GOTHAMSBOMBTHROWER
A BELIEF THAT HE WAS A MISS
ING NOTE BROKER OF BOSTON.

Portions Of the Dead Dynamiter's
Clothing Identified by the Wife of
the Missing Broker as Belonging TO
her Husband-The Tailor Who Made
the Cltohes Also Idsntih 80 Them.
BOsToN, MASS, Dec. 1.-THE Globe says
that Henry L. Norcross Of Sargent avenue.
Somerville, note broker, doing business az
No. y Pearl street, Boston. has not BEEN
seen at bis Office since the middle 4
last week. aud other occupants Il
his Somerville residence say that
be was killed in a railroad ACCIDENT
about that time. New York detectives
were in town trying to identify the missing
mau as the mysterious bomb thrower IN
Russell Ssge's office last Friday. TIE de-
tectives brought with them q trousers but
ton and portion OF the trousers worn by tue
bomb thrower, as we'll IS a piece Of bis cost
and portions OF his undsrClOthlag.
IDENTIFIED BY rHE WIFE.
According to the GLOBE these we're taken
N Mr. NorcrOss' residence this Afternoon
and the underclothlng positively identified
bv Mrs Norcross as belonging to her hu'-
band. On the trousers OF the dead man
were buttons bearing the print
BROOKS. tailor, Boston" Pieces OF
clothing we're taken TO Mr..
Brooks store this afternoon. There
It was positively stated that the firm had
made for Henry L. Norcross a coat OF the
cloth presented and also pair Of trousers
of the same cloth as the other piece fur
nished by the detective. The button was
also identified as g peculiar one used by
this tailoring house.
WHO BE WAS.
Henry I. Norcross who certainly has not
been seen in Somerville since before the day
on which the life of Russell Sage as threat
ened, is about IS or % years OF age He
graduated from Somerville high school
about FIVE years ago. Since graduating
from there he hes conducted a note broker
age business
SCARCELY ROOM FOR DOUBT.
Further investigation tonight leaves
scarcely any room for doubt that the bomb
thrower and Norcross are identical. His
father, who was seen tonight, believes
that such is the fact, although
he can assign no motive for
the act on his sons part The Identification
of the clothing has been made complete by
the discovery that number upon por-
tion of the trousers worn by the bomb
thrower and brought from New York TO-
day corresponds exactly with the number
against the name of Norcross on the books Of
Brooks. the Washington street tailor who
made the suit of clothes for Norcross last
October. A photograph of the dead bomb
thrower's head has been compared with the
likeness of Norcross taken about six months
ago and the resemblance is most striking.

LIGHTS FROM INSECTS.
American Fireflies, English Glow
Worms and Tropical Files.
From TIE Wushtu0fo Star

American Firefies. English Glow
Worms and Tropical Files.
From the Washington star,
Firefiies have been put and are even TO
this day applied 70 some curious uses. In
st. Domingo and other West India islands
they are employed for lighting purposes,
being confined in lanterns. both for going
about the country at night and for the ilIu-
mination ef dwellings.
BY attaching one Of them TO each foot
while travelling In the darkness they serve
as guide 70 the path. They are also util-
lied In Cuba and elsewhere for ornaments.
Wherewith the gowns and coiffures Of ladies
are adorned on festive occasions. One can
read by the light which few Of those in
secss give. One point that may be urged in
behalf of those firefiies is that thew kill
mosquitoes, finding In the latter their
favorite prey.
The ancients were probably IN
acquainted with the species Of firefliss
which are SO familiar in this country, be-
cause the most remarkable of these are
peculiar TO America. The great lantern
flies OF Southern Europe and Asia, which
are sometimes called dying glow-worms. ="
are allied 20 the boat flies and water
scorpions. On the other band, the frefiies
OF the tropics are beetles. The latter ore Of
somber hue in the daytime and it is only
at night that they show their lights.
The English glOw-worm is the wingless
female Of a winged beetle. Some suppose
that the light she bears is bestowed for
her protection to scare away the nightingale
and other nocturnal birds Others, how
ever. believe that the gift Of brightness is
the very lure by which her foes are assisted
to discover and devour her. Much specula-
ton has been INDUCED In as to the nature
OF the glow worms light, which Is not put
out By water nor seemingly capable Of Civ
ing forth any heat.
1t has been asserted that the light dlffus-
ing substance contains PHOSPHORUS, but
this has never been proved. Certainly It is
incapable of communicating ignition TO
anything.
Least attractive among the insects which
give light are the so-called electric cent?
pedes"-black crawlers with many legs,
which have been likened to serpents' skele-
tons IN miniature They move in a snake
like fashion, forward or backward, leaving
behind them a bright track of phosphorio
light However, they are most accustomed
TO appear in the day time, when the iilu~
minatlon they afford is not visible.
