CHAPTER RvL-CoSTINuBD.
This freak of good fortune gave
Frank what he so much needed, asso-
citation with men, who, by education
and home culture, were more nearly his
equals, boon he appreciated, besides
rescuing him from the familiar ap-
proaches Of James Lawson and his
| friends, q consideration to be by no
means ignored.
When springs first breath modified
the icy clutches Of winter, the order
came for the regiment to march TO st.
| Louis.
Charlie Fulton and Frank were now
bosom friends, though they were, in
different companies, and It was from
him that Besant learned of the intended
departure.
They're going to march us the
whole blessed way over the railroad
ties to save the Government the ex-
pense of transportation. It's shame

How Insects Breathe.

If we take any moderately large in
sect, say wasp or a hornet, we can see,
even with the naked eye, that series,
of small, spot-like marks run along the
side of the body. Two apparent spots,
which are eighteen or twenty in number,
are, in fact, the apertures through
which air is admitted into the system,
and are generally formed in such a
manner that no extraneous matter can
by any possibility find entrance. Some
times they are furnished with a pair of
horny caps, which can be opened and
closed at the will of the insect; in other
cases they are densely fringed with stiff,
interlacing bristlcs, forming filter,
which allows air, and air alone, to pass;
but the apparatus, of whatever character
it may be, is so wonderfully perfect in
its action that it has been found impos-
sible to in iure the body of dead insect
with even so subtle medium as spirits
of wine, although the subject was first
immersed in the fluid, and then placed
beneath the receiver of an air-pump.
The apertures in question communicate
with two large breathing tub s, which
extend through the entire length of the
body. From these main tubes are given
off innumera6le branches, which run in
all directions, and continually divide
and subdiv.de, until wonderfully in
tricate net work is formed, pervading
every part of the structure, and pen
etrating even to the antenna. Lutheran

Novel Use for Beer.

"Beer is absolutely indispensable to
our business, nowadays" said a fashion
able dressmaker the other day, as she
noticed my glances of inquiry at a basket
full of empty bottles that servant was
taking out.
ooh, dear, no. I never drink it, nor
the girls either, with my permission, but
we use good many bottlefuls every day,
nevertheless"

Why Fruits Change Color.

On October 25, last year, l told the
great family of the curious why leaves
change from dark or light emerald
green to yellow, scarlet, red, brown and
many intermediate tints. Below will be
found the best opinions of leading
scientists as to why most fruits undergo
similar changes during the ripening pro-
cess: /. It is known that as fruits come
to maturity there is a process Of absorp
ton of material from the trees sap, as
we'll as cell-growth within the fruit it.
self. 2. That the absorption of oxygen
and the giving off of ,arbonic acid gas is
an action strictly analogous to the resplra-
ton of animals. 3 That there is a
transformation of vegetable fibre into
sugar and water. The rapidity and per-
lection of this process depends principally
upon the amount of sunshine to which
the fruit is exposed while it is going on.
The outer membranes of most all fruits
assume positive color when the ripcnine
change is coming on, but why one plum
is green and another blue, one apple red
and another yellow, the most rigid re-
search has failed to discover; but that the
primary changes in the color of each
particular species of fruit is due to the
reasons given above there is not one least
doubt. When fruit has turned all its
fibre to sugar aud water the absorption
of oxygen must be checked By cutting
off light and air; Or, if allowed to con-
tinue, the next chemical change involves
the decomposition of the sugar, snd the
fruit becomes ''rotten.' The action of
frost upon fruit is to crystalline all Of its
contained moisture. If this can again be
converted into sugar by very gradual
process the sugar Of the fruit is found to
be uniniured. st. Louis Republic.

The adoption of the air-brake in
freight service is making rapid pro-
gress. On January l, 1891, there
were 1853, 400 cars equipped with them,
as against 1924 OH January 1, 1880,
an increase of IS, 1856 cars. The per,
centage of the entire freight rolling
stock Of the country equipped January
/, 1891, was 1873 per cent. The rail-
ways on which all new cars are SO
equipped control 40, 459 miles of road
and 272, 339 cars. Tho companies on
which some classes of their new cars
are equipped control So, 1888 miles of
road and 423, 554 freight cars. These
two classes combined control S6,441
miles of road and 697, 1893 freight
cars. The number of cars equipped
last year was nearly twice as many as
in any previous year, but better idea
of the actual progress made can be
gained from the fact that companies
controlling nearly 10000 miles of road
have adopted the airbrake for freight
service in 1890.

The Prussian minister of justice,
DR.. Schelling, is interested in the new
American method of execution by
electricity, and has caused instructions
to be sent for full reports as to its
methods Of working, so far as obtain
able. Many Prussians are inclined to
consider decapitation as too barbarous
method Of execution, and the conse-
>ence of this sentiment is favorable
to tAe criminal classes. Reindcl, the
headsman, has been making personal
inquiries OH the subject of electric
death, whether for official reasons or
to satisfy his own curiosity is not
known. The conservative feeling in
Germany is very strong, and there is
little probability of such q serious
change in the criminal laws as to do
away with the existing form of death
penalty.
