Curious Facts about Deer's Horns.

Why and how is the deer so peculiarly
unlike any other Of the bovine race-the
horn differing so materially from all the
horned cattle in its composition, growth
maturity and decline? 1t presents all
the phenomena of animal and vegetable
growth. 1t sprouts from the brain with.
out any prolongation of the frontal bone,
It rises and breaks through the sinews
and takes root on the bone, growing the
same as vegetable. 1t is nourished by
and secretes albumen upon the surface,
and disposes of the fbrine the same as an
animal.
It is clothed with a skin and hairy coat
very different from that on the rest OF
the body. This covering and hair pos.
sesses property unknown in other ami
NAL bodies-that Of being stypic to
stanch its own blood when wounded. II
carries marks of the age on the buck by
putting out an extra branch each year,
which shows an additional power each
year to produce them, and this power
does not exist in the female, so this diff.
ference is more distinctly marked than in
any other class of animals. Again, the
horn possesses properties unknown in any
other animal matter. It is entirely mod
orous, capable of resisting putrefaction
and almost impervious to the effects Of
the atmosphere.
And still, water at 800 degs. Fahren
heit will dissolve these horns readily,
even though they are not soluble in alco
hol and resist the action of acids and
alkalis. 1t is the only vegito animal
substance that We know of that does not
perpetuate itself by procreation.
The male and the female are sustained
by the same nutrition and elements, and
the male only produces horns. This phe
nomenon is quite as much of curiosity
as the absence of the horn in the buck

How Fast it Travels.

Philadelphia scientists are preparing
to find out how fast an electric current
travels. An experiment will be made,
probably from the franklin Institute, by
connections over the Atlantic cable to
Liverpool and return.
The most recent experiment was tried
at McGill College, Montreal. The cur.
rent was transmitted in Montreal, was
transferred to the cable at the Newfound.
land cable station by means of Thomp.
sons mirror galvanometer, sent across to
the station at Liverpool, and returned to
Montreal by the same method. The dis
tance traversed, partly by overhead wire
and partly cable, was 5000 miles.
From the time the current left the key
in Montreal until it returned to the re.
ceiver in the same Office just one second
and one-twentieth of q second had
elapsed; but the conditions were not IS
good as they might have been hence the
further experiment to be made here.
The rapidity with which the current
travels over short wires with no delay in.
dicated unlimited possibilities in the di.
rection of practical tests. Prof. Marks,
of the Edison Electric Light Company,
is authority for the assertion that if the
globe was encircled with continuous
cable, current would travel the entire
distance in trife over three seconds. At
this rate a current would travel to the
sun, covering the distance Of 96,000,OO0
miles, in three and half minutes.
"In this age of science" said one of the
gentlemen who will participate in the ex.
periments, "people have an idea that We
know 80 much now there is nothing more
to be discovered. Why, ne are yet in our
infancy as far as electricity goes. New
discoveries will yet be made, and We will
live to see them put into practical use,
which will revolutionize the entire world.
The experiment which we are about to
make in telegraphy is only feeler. which
will lead to other and more startling ex-
periments. The establishment of tele.
phone communication between the hem.
ispheres is already being seriously dis
cussed." d."-Philadephia Record.

As THE VOORHEES, gerrymander has
passed the senate, it is manifest that this
infamous partisan subdivision of the
state into congress districts has been
ordered to become law by the Repub-
lican bosses. We have heard that this
measure was outlined by the notorious
defaulting ex-secretary OF state, d. M.
Burns. This may or may not be true !;
but it is evidently pet measure of the
Republican machine, and Burns turns
one OF the main cranks of that instru-
ment. 1t is easy to conceive why the
Burnses and Crimminses have ordered
the passage of this infamous apportion-
ment bill. The counties are SO distrib-
uted in the several districts as to leave
the Democrats with only one district in
the state they can count upon carrying.
This dishonest districting OF the state
will, however, eventually be condemned
by all fair citizens, to whatever party
they may belong, and will prove no
small factor in overthrowing the party
that has resorted to so disreputable an
expedient.

what's I'm a Name.

In the Massachusetts Reports, if one
would take the trouble to look there-or,
indeed, whether one looks for it or not
there is one of the condolences which
do so much to keep the theory alive.
Therein it is recorded and set forth how
one Aquarius Breen was convicted of ad-
ulterating milk. It must be evident to
any theorist that the name was respon-
sible for his departure from the paths of
probity. How could it be expected that
a man with the name Aquarius would
fail to water his milk?
His whole conscience might rebel
against the sin, but his destiny was set
tied when he was christened, and how
could he resist it? Had justice been
done punishment in this case would
have been meted out, not to Aquarius
Breen, but to the parents who by infict-
ing upon him such a name had made it
impossible for him to do otherwise than
to water his milk. He was the victim
of circumstances over which he had nc
control whatever. Boston Courier.

SENATOR Quay has come to book on a
question OF privilege in the senate as to
the charge that he had tampered with
the funds of the state of Pennsylvania
when he was treasurer. His explana-
ton is confession. In league with the
cashier of the state treasurer he gam
ble3 in stocks and lost, and he admits
that he borrowed over $1,000 to make
the deficiencies Of his partner and OF
himself good. What caused these de-
ficiencies? Unsuccessful gambling in
stocks. Where did he and his pal get
their money to gamble with? From the
treasury. But he made it good by bor-
rowing from his colleague. Now here
is as plain case of using the money of
the state for gamble as could be made
out. No wonder Quay refused to sue
the New York World for libel when it
