A pious colored brother in Allan tic City once contracted with pro- perty-owner to fill up hallow with about 1 ,000 cubic feet of sand for $125. When he came early in the morning to begin his work he found it already nearly done, a violent wind storm during the night having carried even more than the required quantity of sand into the hollow. He spent an hour or so leveling it off and removing little surplus, then claimed his pay. His employer ob- jected on the ground that the work had not been done by the claimant !; but the latter solemnly replied: "The Lord worked for me, and Is untitled to the increment"

Among the most recent uses to which electricity has been applied is that of transmitting photographs and drawings by wire. The pro- cess is founded upon the use Of electricity of varying degrees of strength, as in the telephone or, in other words, the movement of a certain lever at one end of the line causes corresponding lever to take the same motion at the other end, similar to the telegraph key. The telephone is affected by the varying degrees of light. With this ma chine, the cut of the speaker and the words of the speech may be sent over the same wire, and in twenty minutes after the message has been sent it will appear in the papers in New York. accompanied by cut of the orator taken on the spot.

The Dismal Swamp in Virginia, one of the largest of swampy tracts in America, is also one. of the most promising areas for reclamation, It contains fully 800 square miles, and is at present of little value, ex- cept for supply of timber. It is an old sea bottom, and the western boundary of the swamp is a sea cliff and beach. The chief animal population of the higher classes consists of water-birds and snakes. Of the larger animals, bears are abundant, and there is q peculiar and very ferocious species of wild horned cattle. The fights of the bears are said to be very exciting. Dispatch.

After all, science can scarcely ex- plain the why of anything. It merely points out the order in which naturally processes occur. Preyer holds that sleep is caused by the products of decomposition, tactic acid and creatin taking up the oxy- gen in the blood. The functions of the gray matter of the cortex can not be exercised without a plen- teous supply of arterial blood any more than the zinc and copper of a voltaic pile will evolve electricity without sulphuric acid. Thus the blood conveys a stimulus or inn parts a capacity to the nerve tis- sues during waking, while during sleep it has separate and distinct function-that of repairing waste. Apparently these two processes cam not go on in the brain at once, or at least only to degree too limited to prevent a speedy exhaustion of the vital powers if sleep be with held.-British Medical Journal.

A ray of light moves with such amazing velocity that it might wrap itself eight times round the earth between five ticks of the clock, and yet it would take that ray of light fifty years to come from the North Star to this earth. When we look at that steadfast, unchanging star at night we see it in the light that left it half a century ago; and if the omnipotent hand that formed it, set tin its place and called it by name should suddenly destroy it, we would continue to see it in its own light fifty years after it had ceased 10 exist.-St. Louis Kepub- lie.

Ching Woo, Chinaman who ii
 supposed to hail from Prescott, ol
 some camp in the northern part oi
 the Territory, was met on the des. ert north of the Contention mine yesterday, who was about used up for want of water. His tongue was swollen to such proportions that it was almost impossible for him to speak. He was given drink and a large bottle of water, when he started on toward this city He had walked nearly across the desert without water and if he had not met with the lite giving fluid he would have perished.
 While the desertis not far across, It is extremely dangerous to start out to cross it without water, es- pecially on foot and the Chinaman's should be a warning to others who have not had enough in dry country to pre- pare for the trip.-Phenix Herald.

The Associated Press dispatches

The Associated Press dispatches
 state that four non-union men who
 'made their escape" from the Home stead mills "assert that they did not
 understand that they were to be
 shut up from the world. and that
 more will desert" How does this
 sound in a free country, that an
 American citizen has to make his
 escape from a tariff and bayonet
 protected factory, where it would
 seem that he has first been inveigled and then held against his will until an opportunity is afforded him to desert" and flee to the fresh air of freedom. It is all right, of course, in these days of republican protec- ton and centralization for capital ists to shut up men and hold them this way; but, suppose lot of workmen should decoy a lot of cap italists into such & place and force them to escape" by ''desertion," the subsidized republican press, from one end of the country to the other, would ring with denunciations of the outrage, This is no longer a country of equal rights. and will never become so until the followers of the citizen who wrote the Declar- ation of Independence once more control this government.-Prescott Courier.
