the ths two dwellings consumed awakened
to fiud escapes by the halls cut of, and
many Of them jumped from the windows,
receiving more or less severe injuries.

Now the Republ,can., Chance.

Senator Carpenter has introduced q bill
In the Ohio senate to redistrict the state
and wipe out the democratic gerrymander.
The bill caused considerable comment
among the politicians, and, as it was the
latest thing out, was discussed in many
quarters. The bill suits great many.
while 1t doesn't suit others. However, 1t
is regarded as q fair measure. as all of the
proposed districts are well balanced as tU
population. The bill gives six democratic
districts and Is republican ones.

Scientific Exp'anation ofthe Strange Sounds

Sometimes Heard.
Chicago Tribune.l
There is more or less clearly defined
thread of superstition running through the
MINDS of most people, and not few who
have at various times been involuntary list
eners to the sound of unfamiliar tickings,
especially during the hours of darkness,
have been unable to prevent their imagina-
tion leading them back to the stories told
them in childhood of the dreaded omen of
the tick of the death watch, which precedes
death in the family.
1t is now we'll known that the ticking is
produced by an insect which is tiny
beetle barely quarter of an inch long. 1t
is generally during the night that it pro-
duces the ticking sounds, and in order to do
so draws in the antenn@ and intermediate
legs, and, resting principally upon
the medium legs, strikes its head
against its support by a sort of rock
ing motion. 1t is through this noise that
the male calls the female. The larva of
the insect lives in woodwork (frame-
work. old furniture, etc. which it gnaws
In the interior without anything outside
betraying its presence A few weeks after
it has been transmitted to the chrysalis
state the perfect insect comes forth, and
makes its exit from the wood by boring
perfectly cylindrical hole in it, which
thereafter shows that the wood has been at
tackled, and 1t is often mutilated to such .
degree that it is virtually destroyed. A
smaller species OF the same. genus works
equal havoc not only with wood, but books,
herbaria, natural history collections, cork,
dry bread, crackers, etc. The death-watch
beetle has the invariable habit of feigning
death when seized or disturbed. The simu-
lation is so persistent that when immersed
in water, or even in alcohol, the insect re-
mains perfectly immovable, and will allow
itself to be burned alive rather than betray
itself

r. VARICK, ESQr.,
MAYOR 1875.

The discovery made quite a sensation
about the City Hall, and the stone was sur
rounded by crowds until Warden Reese had
it removed for safe keeping to one of the
vaults beneath the building. Although cut
nearly hundred years ago, the inscription
is as fresh and sharp as ever. What the
original use of the stone could have been
can only be conjectured. As it antedates
the erection of the City Hall by several
years, it is not improbable that it was q
landmark of some kind.
Mayor Varick held once continuously
from 1889 to1S01, the City Hall being then
situated in Wall street, near William. The
erection of the present building was first
discussed in 1900, and the cornerstone was
laid by Mayor Livingston on May "a, 1903
The first building erected on the "Com-
nous" as the space occupied by the pres
ent City Hall Park was called, was the old
Powder House, built early in the eighteenth
century. The "Bridewell'' was erected in
1876 on the present site of the Comfy
Court House.
Mayor Varick served with distinction
during the war of the Revolution. and was
for a time on the staff of the traitor Arnold.
After the war he served successfully as
Recorder, Attorney General and Mayor,
