FIREWORKS BY DAYLIGHT.
Wonderful Accomplishments In Japanese
PHrOfnchnInn.

wonderful Accomplishments In JapanOso
PyrotschnIcS. O..
The most delicate and altogether
wonderful fireworks are the bombs
made by the Japanese. to be exploded
in tho daytime. These bombs are some-
times spherical in shape and sometimes
cylindrical, ana occasionally the two
forms are combined in cylinder with
ball at one end.
Fired from steel mortars, the bombs
explode in mid-air. After tho smoke
has cleared away, figure of some sort
goes floating of into the upper air.
Two enormous dragons twist and turn,
as IT in mortal combat until St George,
in the guise Of their own fiery tongues,
bids them, begone and they vanish in a
puff of smoke. Perhaps tho Japanese
goddess Of mirth hilariously waves o
little three-cornered flag with a square
hclo in it, and smiles bcnignly down
until she has sailed away out of sight.
Tho com mbinations produced in these
day fireworks arc almost endless.
Tho figures arc bags made OF very
thin, air-tight paper. The explosion
of the bomb initiates them with hot air,
and the principle comes into operation
which we take advantage of in fire
balloons"-which, by the way, are made
in bewildering variety Of shapes and
eolors by the Japanese.
Very beautiful and almost unaccount-
able effects are produced at night, also,
by the Japanese bomb.makers. Per-
haps, after the bomb explodes, gigan-
tic cluster Of grapes hangs suspended
in tho Sky, the colors changing gradual
ly from dark, rich purple to brilliant
liver or gold, and finally fading away,
one grape at time. Inc Japanese, in
olden times, said that when the grapes
were gone they had been plucl:ed by
the gods; and during times of peace ard
plenty - which were, unfortunately,
few - they often offered these fiery
delicacics to the particular god or god
dess to whom they attributed their
good fortune.
Brilliant CLOUD pictures are also
mado by the Japanese by exploding
bombs. Tho sky is ut first lighted up
with dull glow, which slowly concen-
trates into silvery cloud. This changes
color many times, and finally rolls open
like scroll and disappears, leaving in
its place dozens of tiny 1oating UNI
brcllas, each with q littlo flamo at tho
bottom Of its handle which burns up
ward, fitfully Illuminating tho others
and itself as they slowly circlo toward
tho earth, until they arc all consumed.
Sometimes many little lighted lanterns
font about until they arc 'snatched by
the litilo gods to light thom to bed."--

Our County Jail-AlmshOuse and
IHuaI:c ASNluuu

During the last two weeks il July, Mr..
G. 5. Griffith president. and Rev. Louis
| F. Z,ukhnn, tho general agent of tie
| Mary land Prisoners Aid Association,
visited the iaiIS aud almshouses III the
uno { uuiI,s on the Eastern Shore al
Mary land. They spent somo time in
each of these Institutions, looking care
| fully into their condition aud manage
ment. In number OF them where spir
/ ituIl mipistratIous aIe unusual they
| gathered the inmates together and held
short, impressive devotional services,
| which seemed to be much appreciated by
many, and i'll each institution they also
| distributed number CT select books,
papers and tracts. They speak nncourag
inSly OF the + isLeru Shore. aud state
that i'll the matter Of caring ion the PMS
being made from year to year With
the more rigid enforcement Of the Local
Opium law within the past year, there is
also IA peIctptIbIe improvement in the
Der of the counties have been aroused
from their lethargy III the matter of Car
ing more tenderiy for their paupers, and
hence, substantial improvements are III
progress in several counties, and in pros
pect in several others.
Cecil county has made better provision
for its paupers than any OF The Eastern
Shore counties. The almshouse Is de-
lightfully situated On Il beautiful farm
and with healthy surroundings, aud is
conveniently located. The buildings are
i'll excellent condition, aud the manage
ment is every thing that could be desired.
The insane department is a new buIl.ii:g
erected IL few years ago under the aus
pieces of the iiuaCy commission, aud it is |
IA model o. ITS kimi. Tue twenty four
insane inmates are we'll care for. The |
only Improve meut we would suggest
here is to have a lew Large iron gates put |
in the high board fence surrounding the |
yard, SO that the INN ites who spend 10 |
much time here might be able to look |
beyond their narrow confines.
The Cecil county Jail is tue struc-
ture and well kept, but it should have |
been placed on higher ground. The |
building is damp, and at the time of our |
visit two feet of water was in the CELLAR. |
OF the sixteen prisoners two are insane, |
and we can see 30 reason Why they |
should be kept in j al. Oio OF them has
been there many years, and the other |
several years. Neither one is vicious.
and as the county has such u we'll |
equipped insane aSy ium, they should at
once be transferred. There is certainly
no warrant in law by which insane per
sons can be kept in jain trr years aud
