Manufacture OF Rubics.

What is the use ofcXploring unknown
and dangerous cOUntricstOr rubies when
the secret of their artificial production
has been discovered? This was the
question, SAYS the Pail Mail Budget,
which the Academy of Sciences dis
cussed on the report of NM. Frenzy
and Nerncuii, who for some time past
have been making chemical expert
ments of the manufacture of these
stones. More valuable than mere theory
was the fact that the two chemists eX-
hiDited some hundreds of specimens of
the glittcring red crystals they had sue
cecdcd in producing The rubies were
admitted by all to be much superior TO
anything hitherto manufactured. No
little Ganger, however attends the
process. The chemicals have to be
fused with a heat SO intense that NJ.
Nerneuil during the course of the eX-
periments nearly lost his sight. While
manufacturing rubics the two chemists
found that at certain stage of the
operations crystals of the color of sap
phires We're produced, but the hue
hitherto obtained has not been equal to
the tint of the real gem.

FIRST STEP TOWARD FAME.
The Young Fellow from PoSen Who Lect-
ured on Isacteriology.

The Young Fellow from Posen Who Lecf-
ured on Bacterio1ogy.
The first step of DR.. Robert Koch into
the light of publicity took place in the
laboratory of the bactericlogist, Prlyy
Councillor Cohn, who announced one
day years ago to the students under his
supervision that on the next morning
"a young fellow from Posen would be
on hand to show some preparations.
What the young fellows name was the
Priyv Councillor had forgotten. Or his
preparations he was equally ignorant.
At the appointed hour the students
had assembled and were trying valnly
to learn just how little the coming man
knew of bacteriology. The door opened,
and little man in simple black. gar
sophisticated blue eyes, such as only
German men have, a big, clear forehead
and small, stiff moustache. The stu
dents smiled as he bowed deeply and
introduced himself us Robert Koch.
He addressed his simple compliments
to the mighty "Herr Geheimrath," AID
then opened the boxes he had brought
under his arm.
Every one ceased smiling as be laid
out his wonderful little glass slides,
which are so familiar to the eye of the
medical students and professors of Ger
many. Preparation after preparation OF
the most wonderful sort, obtained witt
infinite pains. study and intelligence,
and preserved in a fashion pitiably eco
nomical, yet thoroughly scientific, was
spread out by the silent small man, to-
gether with sets of proachable pho
tographs Of everything, all done by him
and by him alone, away off in the ham
lnt of WnllC4oi,, DnSar Whom tho
exhibit was finished there was dead
silence for minute or two. Then Privy
Councillor COhn said:
"Sir, YOU should remain in Breslau. 1t
is not fitting that man of your genius
should 60 back to WOllstein in Posen. r"
Koch was willing enough to remain i'll
Breslau, for his life in Wollstein had
been joylessly poor, according to the
views of most men, although he had
found comfort in his remarkable work.
II am anxious to remain, but l have no
money!" he answered.
Two DAYS later the Judicial Court doc
tor Of the Nicolai district died. His
place was poor enough and almost with
out fees. but it was foothold, and as
such Cohn secured it for Koch. The
young Poscner took up his residence in
Breslau and continued his studies. He
found, however, little profitable en-
ployment. After three months, in which
he earned Just Sc, he announced that as
we'll as he enjoyed his official honors he
could not see his way to living with
them any longer. He resigned his place
and went back to Woll6tein. His three
months III Breslau, however, had made
him known to the world, and not long
afterward he was called to Berlin to take

CasIled the Check.
From Il Boston Dispatch.

IIOhi Dooto4i blSpdlCl-
Cashier Stearns, of the Shawmut Bank
of Boston, got the better of New York
er the other day in Il little business
transaction that involved $4,000. A
check for this amount was given the
New York Central Railroad by the Bos-
the former for freight and passenger
charges. The Central deposited it in
the Chemical Bank, New York. Or
dinarily, it would have been settled
through the clearing house, but some
smart official thought he would get the
$50, 600 in crisp bank bills. Therefore, it
was given to an express messenger to
collect. 1t was duly presented to the
Shawnnut Bank, but twas so unusual
proceeding that the teller called the
cashiers attention to it. The cashier
OWNED the New Workers. game, and
quick as a flash decided to give him as
good as he sent He requested the mes
senger to take the check to the Sub
Treasury, where 1t would be paid in five
minutes. To the surprise Of the eN-
presSman, instead o. neat packages OF
bills, he was offered sixty canvas bags,
each containing 81 900 in silver. He did
not want it that way, but it was legal
tender, and as he had no discretion in
the matter he had to accept them, so
with the hel p Of an extra team, he car
rlcd the specie, amounting to nearly
two TOMS, 600 pounds, TO be exact-tO

silver ever paid out of the Sub-Treasury
at Boston.

Thoroughbred Horses IN Battle.
From the Globe Democrat.


'Whcn | went to the war In 1861, .
said Senator Wade Hampton, II took
with me three thoroughbred stations
that were worth Il princes ransom. One
was as black as night, one was dark
chestnut, and the other was chestnut
sorrel. You are perhaps aware that my
father was not only an importer of run
ming horses, but a famous breeder Of the
thoroughbred as we'll.
II rode the black stallion ut the first
Bull Run battle, where | commanded
the Hampton Legion, comprised of in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. At the
with PleasOntOn in 1868, | rode the
chestnut. He was hard horse to con-
troll in a charge, and he nearly carried
me into the enemies lines on that dav
twice. / rode the chestnut-sorrel at the
great cavalry fight the rear of Meade
army on the third day at Gettysburg,
and came near meeting the same fate
rs that escaped at Brandy Sta
ton a few weeks previous Ny ex-
perience with thoroughbreds is IN time
of war that they are safer horses to get
away from the enemy with than when
you are going toward him, especially
when on gallop. But when it comes
to endurance one thoroughbred will kill
three cold -blooded horses in cam
paign. They will 90 further with less
food, 90 faster, and show moro courage
in danger | have ridden the stations
mention into federal batteries, and they
never once tlinched. All of them were
wounded three or four times, but they
pulled through.
Il think a body of men mounted on
entire blooded horses would prove
much more formidable in charge than
the same force mounted on geldings of
the same blood. Our ancestors in an
cient times always went to war on entire
horses, and in order that their presence
might not be betrayed to the enemy,
their nostrils were slitted SO that they
could not neigh. The Arabs in their
journeys prefer entire horses, as they
seem to have more courage, sense,
strength ard endurance than mares or
geldings. The late John Morgan owed
his success in the late war to the fact
that in his raids his men were mounted
on Kentucky thoroughbreds."
