Electric Light on DattIefieIds.

The ubiquity of electricity is becoming
almost proverbial. From the "brightest
spot on earth" to the blood stained battle
fields is rather far cry, but there is no
end to the application of electricity. A
recent telegram from Austria described
some experiments of great interest
which have recently been carried out
successfully there. The difficulty of
searching for the wounded on the night
after great battle has been one which
has long occupied the attention of mill
tary reformers, and the army medical
service in Austria has been endeavoring
to determine how far the electric light
may be utilized for this humane end.
The value of powerful search lights
with refectors has been proved in naval
affairs, and at Suakim and elsewhere
soldiers have found them very effective
on open ground. They would be equal
ly effective under similar conditions for
assisting in picking up the wounded,
but when the battle has ragged over a
wide extent of country, OF when the
fighting has occurred amid woods and
brushwood, the use of this class of light
is attended with difficulty.-Electrical

A Monster Structure.

spent long time in wandering about
the Manufactures building. 1t is the
biggest building ever planned, and it
will have one roof covering thirty acres.
Senator Ingalls, came ont and looked at
it the other day, and as he gazed, as
founded at its immensity, he said: 1T is
an exhalation! Yesterday it was not,
today it is and tomorrow it will have
passed away. can see how you can
fence it in, but TO roof it almost sur
passes human conception" Think of
putting a massive glass and iron roof
over q thirty acre fieldl That is what
the men are doing here today, and / saw
them at work putting mp the great iron
trusses which will support this roof.
You cannot conceive the size of this
structure without seeingit. Three hun
dred thousand people could be seated on
the floor and in the galleries and $4,000
could be seated ON the floor alone. The
Coliseum at Rome, with all its galleries,
could only seat 81 900 people, and it was
never rooted except with canvas. You
could put four coliseums on that floor,
and two pyramids as big as Cheops
would sit upon it side by side and leave
room for the Capitol at Washington. If
the great pyramid was taken to pieces
and carried here its material could be
stoisl in this building and you could
look down upon its masses of stone from
the galleries.
This building is about third of a
mile long. Thirty great staircases, so
wide that two carriages could be driven
up them side by side, will lead to wide
galleries and there will be street fifty
feet wide running through the center.
With its galleries it will have forty
acres of floor space, and it tires one even
to think of its possible contents.-Chi-
cago Cor. Lancaster Examiner.

Twovery rusty and very ancient look
ing cannon, which look as if they had
been buried several centuries, were
taken off freight train at the Fort
Wayne depot yesterday. They were un-
mounted and were boxed up carefully.
The two pieces were consigned to the

This "scrap iron" came all the way from
Cuba and goes to make up what will
probably be one of the most interesting
exhibits at the Worlds Columbian ex-
position.
The two old cannon were secured by a
United States naval officer detailed on
Worlds fair service on the site of an old
abandoned Spanish fort on one of the
West India islands. 1t was on this
island which history and tradition says
the son of Christopher Columbus built 4
fort to repel invaders, and the two can

armament of the fort. The guns were

A Valuable ding.


At the railway station of Fuente-
Palmera, near the town of Ecija, in An
dalusia, man whose face was half con-
cealed in slouched hat approached the
station master and handed him box
and an open letter. Then the mysterious
individual went away. The official read
the letter, which was without signature.
1t simply informed him that he had just
received a present. He Immediately
opened the box, and was astonished to
find that it contained a newborn baby,
richly clad. A switchman who was
present took pity on the little thing; and
offered to adopt it then and there, and
the station master was glad to get rid
of it. The switchman took it home to
his wife. She was delighted with the
present, and while undressing it letter
fell out of it's clothing upon the tioor:.
This, like the one which the station
master received, was also without sigma
ture. 1t was as follows: "Whoewer
takes this child and cares for it will be
happy" When the good woman's sur
prise was over she resumed the work OF
undressing the baby. During the opera
tion heap of bank notes fell from Its
clothing upon the floor. Husband and
wife carefully picked up the notes and
counted them. They footed up the
handsome sum of 125,000 francs. Now
the station master wants that baby, OF
rather that money, but the switchman
won't give it to him, and suit is pend.
ing in the Spanish courts.-San Fran

ne says horses should be warered aI snort
intervals with all the water they will
drink, and their heads frequently bathed
with cold water. II the horse appears
to be much exhausted fifteen or twenty
minuiss' rest in a shady place will often
afford slfficient relief. If at the end of
this time evidence of exhaustion con-
tinues, nothing will give more prompt
or efficient relief than to bathe the en-
tire body with water. In moie extreme
cases, when the exhaustion is complete,
the animal must be secured so as to pre-
vent him from injuring himself until he
can be removed in an ambulance, and
in the meantime ice should be applied
to his head and ice water to his body to
reduce the temperature. Stimul5nts in
the form of alcohol are indicated, but
should be used with the greatest care,
and always under the supervision of a
veterinary surgeon.-Philadelphia Led

A Volcano at Sea.

Only last fall there was a strange oc-
currence near the island Of Pantellaria,
between Sicily and Tunis, which would
have filled the Imagination of Homer
or Virgil with pictures of asupernat-
ural monsters and poetical fancies about
the extravagant doings of the deities of
the sea.
A submarine volcanic eruption oc-
Cured there, and the inhabitants of the
island saw what seemed like some great
fish disporting himself in the troubled
water, while columns of smoke arose
around him.
Those who ventured near to the scene
in boats saw hot volcanic bombs, COM
posed of black scoriaceous, material,
rising to the top of the water and there
running and darting about in the most
singular fashion under the impulse of
the steam which they discharged. Some
bounded more than sixty feet up into
the air as the steam exploded.
Such outbursts of heated matter from
the bed of the sea furnish perhaps an
even more impressive indication than or.
binary volcanic eruptions do of the
strange conditions prevailing at nc
great depth beneath the surface of the
earth.-Youth's Companion.

A Dogs Political Preferences.

Out at Abilene the man who runs a
transfer wagon and smashes the drum
mers' trunks owns dog. He is just a
common, old fashioned cur. But the
dog votes, and votes right. His master
every morning upon the arrival of the
Texas and Pacific train gets his dogship
to show off before the crowd. "Do you
vote for Clark" the canine is asked. He
rises up on his hind feet, his front ones
high in the air, his body perfectly erect
and mods his head. "Do you vote for
Hogg" the master inquiries. The dog
gets down fat upon the floor and buries
his face in his front legs, the very pic
ture of negation. These daily perform
ances have como to be well advertised
in Abilene and always draw crowd.
Should Judge Clark be successful that
dog will be installed in state at Austin
next January, and for two years at least
will be the best fed animal in Texas

An Antidote for Mosquito Bites.

The best antidote for the bite of a
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia,
weakened with little water or salt
and water. Some people go so far
as to press the poison out of the
bite with some small metal instru-
ment like the point of watch key
before applying the antidote.. This pre-
vents the painful swelling that some,
times occurs. AS in other cases, zone
mans meat is another mans poison"
and the same remedy will not apply to
all individuals. Some find camphor
most efficacious, and salt and water will
not avail. Ammonia, however, seems to
be generally successful as a neutralizer
of the mosquito poison. Where there
are large quantities of mosquitoes and
no reason for their appearance is appar-
ent, it is well to look about the premises
for something which attracts them. An
uncovered barrel of rainwater will
bring them in hordes, and damp places
and stagnant pools are spots where they
delight to congregate. Gazette.

Conptcrfcit TIves Anoot.

Business men in East Baltimore are
agitated over counterfeit five dollar
notes. Nearly every day one or more
of these notes turn up atthe bank count
ers. The notes are limitations of treas
ury notes of the series of 1880. The pa
per is Of a poor quality and lighter in
color than the genuine note. Especially
noticeable is the poor engraving. IL
seems to be the work of an amateur or
of a very nervous person. The picture
of Jackson looks like the impression Of
a wood cut. But one feature is any
where near perfection, and that is the
signatures of Registrar Rosecrans and
Treasurer Huston. These are excel
lently counterfeited and would battle
any one but an expert. Bank officials
think number of these counterfeits
have been put into circulation within
the past week or two in that section of
the city, and but few have yet gotten

Ball Lightning.

During a severe thunderstorm Mon
day the phenomenon of ball lightning
was seen in this village. An inspection
of the locality shows that the ball was
located between telephone wire and a
conductor pipe about three feet distant,
and was doubtless of the, nature of an
electric brush preceding the disruptive
discharge. 1t was of reddish color and
exploded with a report like musket,
but did no damage, nor was it attended
by any smell perceptible to those who
saw it, although they were distant not
more than five feet.-Lyons On. " Cor.

Rare Books to De sold.

For some time past it has been m,
mored that the famous Althorp library,
which Dibdin called the finest private
collection in the world, was about to be
sold, and now the announcement Is
made upon authority. 1t is hoped to
sell it en- bloc, but should that not be
possible it will be put up to auction.
Selling the most famous of the worlds
private libraries in a lump can mean
only one thing-selling it to America.
We trust that may not happen, since
Lord Spencer's collection contains many
volumes which it is national pride to
possess-such, for instance, as the ia
nous Valdarfar "Boccaecio," which
Lord Blandford wrested from the sec
ond Earl Spencer for GO ,260, to be ulti-
mately bought for Althorp for the baga-
telle of ESQ. 1t will be an epoch max
ing sale, for this great library contains
some 1900 volumes, mostly priceless.
Scarce editions ON vellum and large
paper, magnificent printing and dazzling
bindings by Pasdeloupa and Roger Payne
these are its glories. Many Of the
books, too, have famous histories. They
have felt the touch of the Pompadour
or of Diane de Poitiers' or the elegant
grasp of Francis |. There are eighty
two out of the ninety-nine known pro-
ductions of Caxton, to- say nothing of
the famous Mentz "Psalter," a copy of
which has fetched $4,000. Tosell the
Althorp library, indeed, is almost as
though we were to sell the rarest rari-
ties of the printed book department of
the British museum.-St. James Ga

A. Bad Year for Railroad DuiIding..

From the returns now received at this
office, collected with unusual care and
thoroughness, we find that during the
ixmonths from Jan. to July l there
have been laid in the United States
1,3G6 miles of new main track on lis
lines in thirty-fve of the states and
territories. Last year at this time we
found that ! ,72S miles of track had been
laid, so that it would appear that there
has thus far been falling off of over %
per cent. compared with the same
period Of 1891. But a review of the
work in progress throughout the coun-
try does not warrant the belief that the
falling off for the entire year will be in
any such proportion. Last year showed
the smallest aggregate of track laying,
1900 miles, that has been reported in
this country since 1Ss5.-Chicago Rail-

The improved taste displayed in house
building during the past few years has
served to educate people to appreciate bet
ter work. No matter how small the struc-
ture may be, the owner will strive to en-
bellish the design as much as his pocket
book will allow, and will even sacrifice
space for the sake of appearance. The
craze for eccentricities in design has given
place to sensible appreciation of simple
ity. Experience has proved that good,
substantial materials and work are less
expensive than hashy, meaningless and
perishable ornaments which quickly de-
cay. In house building, rs in dress, good
materials, properly fitted and put to
gether, give the appearance of stability,
neatness and prosperity.
The perspective view and plans here
shown illustrate the design of n neat cot
tage suitable for either town or country.
