Lepers Proof Against Electricity

"Down at Honolulu said Harry Dia-
mond, 81 had battery and worked the
innocent Kanakas with the old trick of
the five dollar gold piece. That is, I'd
place the piece in the bottom of jar of
water connected with the battery. Then
I'd tell the native boys that they could
have the money if they'd pick it out Of
the jar and hold the hand on the other
pole of the battery at the same time. OF
course the moment their hands struck
the water the circuit was completed,
their fingers would be doubled up and
they couldn't touch the money if their
fortunes had depended on getting it. l

He had been persuaded to try for the
money, and explained the trick to the

we all prepared for great laugh.

Umbrellas In Turkey.

In many Eastern countries an umbrella
is mark of distinction, and its use is
confined to people of rank. Turkey is
one of the few Asiatic countries where
the umbrella is in common use, and car
ried as protection from rain. In most
places its use is that of q parasol. Says
an Eastern traveller: CARRYING at Con-
stantinople from countries further to the
east, where the umbrella is considered a
badge of high rank, 1 was much aston
ished to find it in common use in rainy
weather. However, 1 soon learned that
traces of the same superstition existed.
One rainy morning | had occasion to
walk along the road which faces the
Bosphorus. One of the buildings l
passed is a favorite palace of the Sultan,
in which he was then residing. AS l
approached the gate with my umbrella
over my head, one of the sentinels
stationed there accosted me in threat
ening manner. Not understanding what
he said, went on, whereupon he ran at
me with his fixed bayonet leveled. At
that moment friendly Turk, who was
walking behind me, snatched my um-
brella with violence from my hand and
thrust mo forward. Then the soldier
returned to his station, and allowed me
to proceed in peace. On returning my
umbrella the Turk explained that every
one is obliged to take down his UNI
brella on passing the actual residence of
the Sultan. No matter how heavy the
rain, each person passing the palace must
lower the umbrella, and not elevate it
again until fully past the building"

Indians Not Given to Lying.

How n Fish Sees.

The medium in which fresh water
fishes live gives them chance to sec a
great distance only in the horizontal
direction, and the proper adjustment of
the eye would make, under usual con-
ditions, the optical axis take this direc-
tion. To me it seems impossible to ex-
plain the constant revolution of the eye.
ball on any other hypothesis except that
given, viz: That the optical axis ex-
tends forward instead of sidewise.
When fish wishes to cat anything,
either at the bottom of the pond or at
the surface of the water, it swims
directly toward the object; and in this
case the eyes are instantly adjusted in
line with the body, so as to bring the
image of the particle desired upon the
posterior portion of the retina. In this
case they lose their usual horizontal
position.
If a fish wishes to turn to the right or
left in the water, says Professor Apgar
in the American Angler, the first move.
ment is that of the eyes in unison in the
direction of the turning. This would
be entirely unnecessary if the apparent
axis was the axis of most distinct vision,
as one Of the eyes would see all that was
to be seen on the side of the turning.
After this movement of tho eyes the
body turns enough to bring the eyes into
their normal position, then there is again
movement of the eyes and next move
ment of the body. This causes peculiar
jerking motion of the eyeballs during
the whole time of the turning Of the
body,

Marvellous Popularity Of Bicycles.

The marvellous growth OF the bicycle
industry during the last few years is
patent to all who live in the upper Sec
tion of the city or in any other part of it
where fairly good roads exist. There
the wheel man or woman can be seen at
all times, but it is only at some of the
larger establishments where the manu-
facture or sale of wheels is the sole pur-
suit that the iull popularity Of the BIZ
cycle is ascertainod. One establishment
In this city alone sells bicycles worth
nearly 81, 900, 600 yearly, while another
doing an extensive wholesale business in
medium and low priced wheels, reaches
$500, 900. In 1891 100000 "wheels"
were constructed in this country, nearly
all of which were sold, in addition to
20, 900 English ones imported.
The giving of lessons in bicycle riding
has become an established feature in the
cycle business, several instruction halls
existing in various parts of the city. At
the best known of these nearly $4,000
lessons were given last year, many
people coming from towns as far dis
tant as Stamford, Conn, and New
Brunswick, N. New York Tribune.

1t seems that in Corsica you secure
your personal safety by keeping o bandit.
In an article in the National Review
Basil Thompson explains that the tax of
supporting bandit is not without its
compensations. Bandits are a hidden
power in the country. They control the
petty elections; they menace those who
are hostile to their own friends. Thus,
while the existence of 900 of them is a
real danger to public security, it is no
small advantage to a Corsican to be re-
lated to bandit. You support, you
pay, protect the bandit; and in return
he places his gun at your disposal. 1t is
an exchange of services. "'He has ban
dit In his service" is common express
sion. Are you in debtl The bandit
will gain you time. Are you disputiug

Tigers in the Malay Peninsula.

The tiger of the Malay peninsula is
more savage than his neighbor, the tiger
of the Indian jungles. In appearance he
is much similar, but if anything triAe
larger. have walked through Jungle
day after day which was swarming with
tigers, yet have never seen one in the
day time unless he was being hunted.
At night you often hear them roaring,
more especially during rainy weather. A
tiger is supposed to kill its victim at
once by gentle rap from his huge paw
on the back of the neck, which at once
breaks it. This is the tradition of the
Malays, but will not vouch for its ver-
acity, though it seems probable enough.

COlnmbus's Idea Of the World.

Columbus believed the solid part of
the sphere to be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance by the sunset road
between the East Indies and western
Europe to be less than it is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution and sue-
cess of his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by the
waters; the continent interposed between
his own Europe and the land of dla-
monds, gold, and spices; the difficulty
and peril of the passage yet to be brayed
in the far regions of the antarctic pole
in order to sail from our continental
Europe to the oriental Indies by the
western way, he would perhaps have
shrunk back in alarm aud dread. Gen.

According to St. Louis decision,
quoted by the Boston Transcript, the
stealing of electricity is a misdemeanor
in the eyes of the law. A hardware
dealer with some knowledge of electri-
city placed fine wire across the connec-
tions to his meter, and caused 1t to
register in certain time about 500 am
peres less than was actually used. When
brought to trial his lawyer interposed tho
ingenious defence that, as at common
law electricity was unknown, and could
not under the code be made subject of
larceny, and as no statutory law had been
passed making it felony or misdemean-
or to steal electricity, for the reason that
its character was not known, and that it
was not subject to asportation as person.
al property, his client could not be con-
victed of larceny. It was, however,
shown by the prosecution that gas, also
unknown at common law, was neyerthe-
less something whose larceny was recog-
nized by the law as misdemeanor.
When the attorney for the defence inter
posed the plea that the act in question
was fraud or deception instead of a
larceny, the judge took advantage of the
Missouri statute which m axes fraud per.
petrated with a view to theft felony,
and set the defendants bail at $4,000.
