Found In u Cranes Craw.

A TRULY wonderful plant is at the
Allegheny Conservatory. No one knows
to what class it belongs, or anything
about it. 1t is the subject of much
speculation among botanists, and they
anxiously await the development of q
bud that is forming. Then. they say,
they can place the plant. The botanists
have suspicion that the plant is a
tropical one, and Superintendent Ham
iItdh is treating it on that supposition.
The history of the plant SO far as
known is unique one. During the
summer one Of party of gunners
brought down crane. 1t was beau
tiful specimen and the taxidermist Of
the party set to work to mount it. In
the birds craw were found several
seeds. With view to learning if the
seed was killed by the bird eating it
they were placed in water. In few
DAYS the seeds sprouted. They were
planted in loan and kept in warm
room. Edward v. McCandless took
charge of it. The plant was an object
of interest tn Mr.. McCandless and his
botanist friends and its development
was closely watched. Last week it was
transferred to the conservatory. The
leaves are long and broad and heavy.

New Type of Gun.

William II. Chamberlain, of Norwich,
has invented and perfected gun which
promises to BIZ the most durable, simple,
and effectual gun ever made. It is
called the electric hydrogen gun. There
are three methods OF firing the arms.
By the first method Mr.. Chamberlain
claims tho projeotile is sent from the
gun by apressure equal to 81, 900 atm NOS
pheres; by the second process by four
times that force, and by the third
method it is transformed into an air gun
with pressure of from 1,5OO to 1000
pound. The gun is simple, without
other machinery than the chamber and
barrel. The demand for new and valua-
BILE weapons is so great that some OF the
great powers may find in this arm the
executor they have been anticipating,
while Mr.. Chamberlain may find in it
the fortune, the shadow of which has
kept his brain active and his hands busy
for many day.-Norwich CONN.,

witty Under All Circumstances.

The wit of an Irishman is simply ire
prcssible. The political canvass attend
ing the Kilkenny election has shown this
quality, as well as the proverhial Irish
liking for swelled heads. Even Mr.. Par
nell had touch of humor when he said:
There's enough confidence in both par
ties TO supply the United States for sew
eral presidential elections" But the
funny man was particularly brilliant
during one of John Redmund's speeches.
Said Mr.. Redmund: "Parnell was hit in
the eye at Castlecomer by a bag Of lime. :"
"Sure they were only whitewashing
their leader" came the reply quick as q
flash. Again, when Redmund was de-
nouncing the interference of the priests
in political matters, another nearer ans

AN ALUMINIUM HAND.
An Artificial Member With which a Man
Can Do Every Kind of Labor.


Some months ago Willard A. Lucas
son of Mr.. Samuel Lucas. the wool man,
ufacturer of Poquctanuck, Conn, had
his right hand severed in his fathers
mill, and since Mr.. Lucas, ST., who has
inventive genius, has used every effort
to replace the missing member with as
useful d substitute as possible.
After visiting or writing to the
most prominent makers of artificial
limbs in America, he learned
that it was in vain to search, either IN
this country or Europe, for an artificial
hand that could be used in doing work.
Thereupon Mr.. Lucas determined to
make hand himself: but he toiled per-
sistently day and night for four months
before he was successful. He has pro-
duccd an aluminium hand that Is very
much like an old time steel gauntlet, and
that is almost as handy as IS natural
hand. The fingers are all perfect in
shape and appearance, and the joints
bend like those Of human fingers. 1t is
smaller than the natural hand, but with
it a man can do every kind of work.
| Mr.. Willard Lucas has worn one OF the
artificial hands for several weeks, and
with it can grasp and handily use all
kinds OF farm tools, pick up things from
the ground, drive, handle a gun-in fact,
use his metal hand uicklY and slSillfully
at any work. Like tEe natural hand.
the artificial one consists of palm that
is provided with fastening by which 1t
is attached to the cork or wooden stump
that all one-handed men wear in place OF
the missing member, and of fingers and
a thumb, the joints of which are worked
by ratchet, so that they may be bent
forward at any angle and held there. The
hand may be either tightly closed or only
partly shut, and only one finger or al
the fingers may be closed at once ano
instantly by striking them against the
body or other object. To release the
fingers it is necessary only to touch q
small spring on the back of the hand
The invention is nearly perfect sub
stitntc for the natural hand and thu
only thing of the kind in the world
Willard Lucas AYERS he would not par
with the device for fortune if it wer'
not possible to reproduce it. BY means
of an ingcnius continuance the artificial
hand may be moved sideways at til
place where it is attached to the arm es
actly as the natural hand is moved.

III You Had IL Friend

About to visit some section of country where
1nalarial disease, either in the form of chills
and fever or bilious remittent was particularly
rife, what would be ebout the best advice you
could give him? We will tell you-to carry
along, or procure on arriving, TINT potent me-
dicinal safeguard, Hostetter's Stomach Bittors,
known throughout malaria plagued regions,
here and in other countries, as the surest mems
OF disarming tho miasmatic scourge and rob.
bling it of it's foil destructive influence. Not
only does forify the system by sing its
ton, tho liver and the bowels, and counterncts

and mental exposure in rough weather, or oc.
cupation too sedentary or laborioua, loss o
appetite, and excessive nervousness. The func.
tons of alimentation, bilious secretion and
Sleep have in it o most powerful and reliable

The Cradle of Influenza.

Prof. Tester, of the medical faculty
of Lyons, has returned from Russia,
whittier he was sent last March to take
evidence upon the course of influenza
there and the various conditions Of it's
evolution. l have had q conversation
with him. DIR. Tessier began his sojourn
at st. Petersburg. where he staid for
some time. lie also went to Moscow,
Kief and Warsaw. Scientists in all these
cities readily gave him information. He
was struck with the closencss of diagno-
sis as shown in hospitals and other med
ical reports which they showed him. He
found that influenza is a growth of Rus
sian soil, and when not a raging malady
is smoldering one. The way the
people live in winter, locked up in
heated houses; the tlatness Of the soil,
its consequent bad drainage and univer-
sally sodden condition when the April
thaw begins; the jilthiness of the farm
yards, the village streets and the rivers
which become suddenly swollen and or
falling leave putrid mud behind-al
conducc to make influenza endemic. 1t!
microbe is, in fact, to be found in thi!
mud. DIR. Tessier calls it strepso-bac
| cillus. What is peculiar in this disease
is the alliance with this bacillus O
pneumococcus, which also lives in Rus
sian marshes, river mud, and village
pools. The strepsococcus first gets hol'
of tho human organs and then the pneu
mococcus enters, like camp-followers be
hind an army. 1t lodges in the breas
and shows its presence in pleurisy an,
pneumonia. DIR. Tester does not be
lieve that dengue fever is identical witt
influenza, though they resemble eacl
other. They arc both infectious an
contagious, and are best propagate
when the air is warm and moist and tn
barometer low.-Pdris Letter IN the Lon,

Isrr1in in Church.

The last place from which one would
expect to hear of bear invading
church during the divine service would
be in the city Of London, yet it was in
the heart of that city, and not in
Kamtchatka or British Columbia that
such an invasion recently took place.
A service was in progress at Non
conformist chapel in the English CAPT
tai one Sunday morning not long ago.
The good pastor had just announced
his text, "Be not afraid" when lady
in the congregation uttered a scream
and started toward the pulpit, looking
back toward the door as she did so.
The movement attracted the attention
Of the congregation toward the back of
the church, aud there they saw large
bear taking seat in an unoccupied
pew, as if he intended to participate in
the worship.
Notwithstanding the peaceable aspect
Of the bear, the women and children
continued to leave their pews and take
refuge around the pulpit. as if they ex
pectcd the minister to defend them
and there was general belief, ever
among the men, when the proprietor o
the bear, an italian, entered the church
bowed respectfully and apologetically
and attaching strap to ring in tn
bears nose, led him out.
1t seems that the bear, one of til,
European sort, which win coppers TO
their owners by dancing, had been acct
dentally freed for moment in front o
the church, and had seen the half-opel
door and entered.
It is possible that he had been at
tracted by the sound Of hymn tn
congregation had just sung, for man.
BEERS are known to be fond OF music.
