THE ToocI TWINS.
A Scientific Authority Discusses This Re-
markable Freak of Nature.

| a Scientific Authority Discusses This Re-
marka0le Freak of Nature.
A writer in the Scientific American,
commenting on the Tocci twins, which
are being exhibited in this country, says
| of this remarkable freak Of nature:
The twins are connected from tho
sixth rib downward, and have but one
pair of legs and single abdomen. The
spinal columns are distinct until the
lumbar region is reached. There they
unite at an angle of $50 degrees. The
sacrurn seems to be a single one. They
have two distinct stomachs, hearts and
pairs of lungs The arterial and res
piratory systems are quite distinct, the
hcart-beats and breathing differing
often in the two individuals. At the
age of thirty days they weighed eight
pounds, and in the next thirty-onc days
gained nearly three pounds. 1t was at
this period of their lives that they were
first subjected to critical examination.
Their lives are distinct. They have re-
gions of common sensibility, and of
purely individual sensation. One often
sleeps when the other wakes.
There is no direct correspondence of
their appetites. One may be hu ngry
while the other is fast asleep. In their
general appearance there is nothing re-
pulsive. They have bright, intelligent
faces, not of the peculiar cast common
to cripples. They are educated, and
write their names as souvenirs for Wis
itors. They are able to stand, but have
not yet succeeded in walking, as each
leg is governed by it's own brain The
want of correspondence has proved |
fatal to any attempts in this direction.
They can stand quietly, SO that it is
not only question of strength At
their home they spent much of their
time on the floor using their inner arms
Tor the most part, craving and tum-
bling about and thus getting certain

How Parrots Arc Brought by Steamer
from Mexico and Cuba.

How Parrots Arc Brought by Steamer
from Mexico and Cuba.
A steamer lately arrived here with
the largest number of parrots on board
ever brought to this city, says the New
York recorder. They are the property
! of q set of spectators who fairly
plunged" in parrots and who counted
on making a big thing out of the i'm
portation.
at Tampico shipment was made of
five hundred birds. Of course they had
to be kept on deck and matters prom
ised to be lively. When Havana was
reached nine hundred more parrots
were hoisted on board. The clamor be-
came awful. No parrot could be in
duced to sleep after four o'clock in the
morning, and they held succession of
indignation meetings till night, intro
ducing into their debates few of the
supplementary expressions INDUCED
in by the rudely awakened passengers
The birds were nearly all very young
and not in full plumage. The natives
of Mexico were green, with yellow
heads, and the Cuban birds quite throw
them in the shade with their white
heads, red neclks and green and blue
bodies. In spite of this grandeur the
Havana speculator only valued his
gaudy stock at a couple of dollars
apiece, while the men from Mexico
counted theirs at four or five dollars
The poor little things were scarcely
able to eat, and the attend
ants of the Mexican birds spent all
day and part of the night administer
ing masses of crackers soaked in
milk and water, opening their bills and
fairly examining the food down their
throats. The others were less fortll-
nate; their dinner was polzed into the
boxes and they ate it or not, as they |
were able, and in Consequence nearly
half of them died. Several days from
were thrown overheard. By the time
New York was reached they were suf-
tllinned out to make their sur
vivors comfortable.
The boxes in which parrots are trans
ported are rough wooden affairs six
feet long by two feet high and deep,
the front and back covered with wire
netting, and long, rough perch in
serted. In most cases the birds are
packed in as tightly as animals in q
cattle car, and numbers of them never
succeed in getting down to the food
cups. For some mysterious reason no
water is given them, except that which

case of survival of the fittest, only

lays and nights of torture. Then it is

ieathcrless object that is presented to
he inspectors gaze, and it takes fully
| fortnight to restore the smoothness of
olumagc and vivacity of disposition
which is the stock in trade of parrot.

He Isn't Seven Years Old Yet, But Is Grow
ing Fast.
Lemont NJ. Leavitt was born in June,
! 1886, in the old town of Turner, Me.
About the first thing Lcmont began to
do after he opened his eyes and uttered
his first cry was to grow. His strength
increased daily, and when five years
old his skill with the ak attracted much
attention. He would chop moro wood
then than half the hired men could, and
his services were much sought by young
men in the ncighborhood, who were too
lazy to Go their own chores on the farm
Last summer the youthful giant ten
dered genuine surprise to his parents
and neighbors. A party of men were
building a wire fence near by. A pole
was run through the center of very
large coil of wire and everything was
in readiness to unwind it when it was
found that a man expected to assist
could not get there. Master Lcavitt
happened along, and taking in the sit
uation picked UP one end of the pole on
his shoulder and marched off, keeping
step with the man who held the other end
in his arms only by the greatest cycr-
ton, while the man behind hung on TO
the wire while it was being uncoiled.
Thus for nearly half a mile did this six
year-old Samson bear the burden that
would have made many full-developed
man shrink.
Just think of it! Not seven years old,
yet Master Leavitt tips the scales at
1857 pounds in light suit He is act
i've, both physically and mentally, and
the Auburn Gazette is willing to back
him as being the handsomest and strono-
est boy Of his age in Christendom.

OCEAN CURRENTS.
The Winds Control This Much Discussed
Phenomenon.

The Winds Control This Much Discussed
Phenomenon.
The much-discussed phenomenon of
ocean circulation or ocean currents may
best be considered, says an English
writer on the subject, by regarding the
currents as merely one grand system of
circulation, produced, not by the trade
winds alone, but by the combined ac-
ton of all the winds capable of produc-
ing this action, the effect upon the cur
rents depending upon two circum-
stances, namely, the direction of the pre-
vailing winds and the conformation Of
the sea and land; and from this it re-
suits that the general system of winds
may sometimes produce a current di-
rectly opposite to the prevailing wind
blowing over the current. Taking,
therefore, into the account the result of
the conformation of the sea and land,
it is argued that all the principal cur
rents Of the globe-the Gibraltar cur
rent not eXccpted-are moving in tho
exact direction in with they ought
to move, assuming the winds to be the
sole impclling course. This being the
case, the influence of the rotation of the
the earth must be considered as having
been greatly overestimated, such rota-
ton exercising no influence in gencrat-
ing motion on the earth's surface,
though if the body be already in mo-
ton, the rotation will defect it to the
right in the northern hemisphere, and
to the left in the southern. Again, diff
ference of specific gravity, as resulting
from difference of temperature, between
the equatorial and polar regions, might,
if sufficiently great, produce some in
terchange of equatorial and polar wa
ter, but not such currents as the equa-
torial and gulf stream exhibit.

lasure) 10 DO offered should conditions appear
favorable for its introduction. This bill u SAID
10 provide for granting to tho Consolidated Gas

By the company OF the London plan OF sliding

infer that the promoters OF the bill are not meet

TO tho Legislature II 10 now intlmated that, q
favorable gas bill being Of doubtful success, an
act Of an unfavorable nature, which would put
the gas company ON the defensive, may be In
troduccd."
Gas-works are natural monopoly and
ought to be owned by the cities In which
they are located. There can be no real
competition. If two sets of works are in
operation, and two sets Of pipes laid down,
the consumers OF gas will have to pay for
both sets, whether one company buys out
the other or not. But no long contracts
for supplying gas or electric lights should
be entered into by any city. Nobody can
foretell the Improvements In hghting
cities which will be made within few
years. The first year of the twentieth
century will probably have lights as far
superior to ours as ours are TO the
"lInksn of London in 1868. We have no
right to suppose for moment that the
imperfect lighting which now satisfies US
will Salty our children in 1899. or even
1894. A thousand electricians are de-
voting all their time. talents, and money
to the solving Of this lighting problem.

Naturally Colonel O'Ferral's friends
spoke of the matter and wanted to know
if there was any danger OK bis having very
strong opposition, and the old members
with whom he has served more than eight
wears. as well as the new ones, made 1t a
point to say to him that if he was again a
candidate they did not believe from the
information they could gather that he
would have any trouble III securing his
denomination this year.
In answer TO direct questions put to him.
Colonel O'Ferrall said that he was candl-
date for denomination, and this was well
understood among his staunch, true
friends all over the district. As to the
gubernatorlal question. with which his
name had been associated, he had never
announced his candidacy for that hlgh
office, though he had been asked to do so,
and he felt grateful for the fiattering ex-
pressions that had been heard IN the State
regarding this matter. Should the people
in 1893 decide to nominate him for Cover
ror he would feel honored, accept the
nomination. resign his seat in Congress If
elected again this year. and the congress

An Ernosition Here this Fall.

The Agricultural Society has determined
upon o three-weebs Exposition here in
October. and we hope to see all of our
people set to work at once to prepare for
it.
II is O considerable undertaking, and
we must make il success without fail.
We start ont more advantageously than
we did in 1888. Then we had the grounds.
but not the buildings. Now we have both.
Then we had no experience in such mat
tiers; now we have a good deal, and as 1t
cost US something to acquire it, it is i'm
pressed upon our memory.
We had fine Exposition in 1888. That
was the general verdict. and it was the
truth. We can have better one this fall
and we can make 1t the assembling place
for all the Virginia exhibits which are to
be sent to Chicago in 1893. Let all the
counties send exhibits to Richmond, and
then let the State authorities select from
each something that will be creditable to
the State when placed in the Virginia exhi-
bit at the Worlds Fair.
Now the next thing is for the General
Assembly to appropriate the $4,000 re-
commended by the House Finance Com
mittee for the Virginia exhibit at Chicago.

that II will take conservative course on
the oyster question.
Some of the measures roposed are
wholly impractical, and Others are hope
lsssly extravagant. These we expect to
zee rejected. Virginia wants revenue. and

of the Democratic State Committee, who

"I think every Democrat regards the Cooper
Union Convention of individual worship as
most ridiculous exhibition Of a few men at
tempting TO govern a great party with whom
they have no sympathy. 1t is too recent to be
forgotten by the public that tho leaders In this
movement are men who either were candidates
on the mongrel Republican and so-called Demo-
cratic ticket. or who supported 1t and openly
ayowed their desire to defeat the regularly
nominated Democratic candidates"
