An Experiment in Ventilation.

In the new Institute of Hygiene, at
the University of PENNSYLVANIA, the
steam radiators are set in a novel way
and are made to play an important part
in the ventilation of the building. Each
is placed just under a window and is in
closed in its own wooden box, into
which a well regulated supply of air
from outside is furnished. In the top
of the box, where the heat escapes into
the room, are two wire gratings about
an inch apart. The space between these
is illed with cotton batting or cheese
cloth, which catches all the dust and
admits only pure air. The plan also di-
reefs currents upward and prevents any
direct draught upon the occupants OF
the room.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A Big Owl.


F. A. Morton, who lives a mile Or so
south of town, caught a horned owl in a
steel trap n night that was a giant Of
its species, measuring 4 feet Sinches
from tip to tip of the wings. This noe
turnal prowler had been making requi-
sitions on his duck pen, SO he set
two steel traps for his owlship and sue
ceeded in capturing him. The trap was
tied with fifteen feet of rope, and in his
desperate attempts to fly away with it
the owl had knocked several rails off the
fence. Mr.. Morton says it was the big
gest bird of the kind he eve saw and
he believed it could have carried off a
pig or lamb.-Farmington Mo.) Times.

A Snake with a Powerful Tail.

According to Miss Hopley, the col
ored people of India are dreadfully
afraid of the burrowing snakes short
blunt tail, which they think can sting.
This tail is of great use as a fulcrum IN
burrowing, and when the animal is
taken in the hand it will press the tip OF
its tail firmly against the fingers, to the
terror of those who hold it, who forth.
with dash it down, though it is wholly
powerless to injure."

The Horse Went TO Market,

David R. Young. of Charleston town
ship, Chester county, Pa, has a horse
who has on every Thursday for some
years taken the marketing to Phoenix
vile. The other day Mr.. Young pur-
chased a new horse, and left the old one
in the field hitched to the plow. Mr..
Young had occasion to go to the house,
and upon his return to the field he found
that the horse was gone. Nh. Young
managed to trace the curse of the horse
by the marks made by the plow, and
found him on the state road vending

Creatures That.Lay Eggs.

Some silkworms lay from 1000 to
1900 eggs, the wasp 5000, the ant from
5000 to 5000. The number OF eggs laid
by the queen bee has long been in dis
pute. Burmeister says from 5000 to
5000, but Spence and Kirby both go him
several better, each declaring that the
queen of average fertility will lay not
less than 10000 and probably as high as

A DIVINE

Oh. | bless God THAT amid all .he IN
Justice that may have been inflicted upon
US in this world we have a divine SYN
pathizer. The world cannot lie shout
you nor abuse you as much as they did
Christ, and Jesus stands today in every
courtroom, in every house, in every,
store, and says: Courage. By all my
hours of maltreatmenG and abuse, will
protect those who are trampled upon"
And when Christ forgets that twoo'clock
morning scene, and the stroke of the
rufian on the mouth, and che bowling
of the unwashed crowd, then he will
forget you and me in the injustices OF
life that may be inflicted upon US.
Further, l remark: The last great in
stallment paid for our redemption was
the demise of Christ. The world has
seen many dark days. Many summers
ago there was a very dark day, when
the sun was eclipsed. The fowl at noon
dag went to their perch, and we felt a
gloom as we looked at the astronomical
wonder. IL was a dark day IN London
when the plague was at its height, and the
dead with uncovered faces We're taken
in open carts and dumped in the
trenches. 1t was a dark day when the
earth opened and Lisbon sank; but the
darkest day since the creation of the
world was when the carnage of Calvary
was enacted.
1t was about noon when the curtain
began to be drawn. 1t wa not the COM
ing or of a night that ;oothes and re-
freshes; it was tie swinging of a great
gloom all around the heavens. God
hung il. AS when there is a dead one
in the house you bow the shutters or
turn the lattice, 50 God in the afternoon
shut the windows OF the world. AS it is
appropriate to throw a black pail uponthe
coffin as it passes along, SO it was appro-
pirate that everything should be solnber
that day as the great hearse of the earth
rolled on bearing the corpse of the king.
A mans lest hours are ordinarily kept
sacred. However you may have hated
or caricatured a man, when You hear he
is dying silence puts its hand on your
lips, and you would have a loathing for
the mar who could stand by a deathbed
making faces and scofing. But Christ
in his last hour cannot be left alone.
What! pursuing him yet after so long a
pursuit? You have been drinking his
tears. Do you want to drink his blood?
They come up closely, so that notwith-
standing the darkness they can glut
their revenge with the contortions OF his
countenance. They examine his Feet.
They want to feel for themselves whether
those feet are really spiked. Tbeyspnt
out their hands and touch the spikes,
and bring them back wet with blood,
and wipe them on .tneir garments.
Women stand there and weep, but can
do no good. It is no place for the FEN
der hearted women. It wants a heart
that crime has tur,e cd into granite.
The waves Of mars hatred and Of
hel1,s vengeance dash up against the
mangled feet, and the hands OF sin and
pain and torture clutch for his holy
heart. Had he not been thoroughly
fastened to the cross they could have
torn him down and trampled him with
both feet. How the cavalry horses
arched their necks and champed their
bits and reared andsnuHed at shebaood.

THE CANAL CONVENTION.

Thu Nicaragua Canal Convention met
yesterday, and in debate and by memorials
and resolutions repeated the many unan-
swerable arguments in favor of the speedy
construction of the canal. The only point
upon which there was difference of opin-
ion was upon the relation the Government
should sustain to the canal company. A
Government guarantee OF 500, coo. coo is not
so much objected to as extending financial
help TO canal the Government could not
own and control. The reasons given why
the Government cannot build and manage
the canal do not appear TO have been salts
factory TO some friends Of the canal The
assertion by Mr.. Doyle that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty does not permit the United
States to build the canal does not seem to
have struck several members Of the conyen-
ton as conclusive. Mr.. Beard said that IL
the Clayton-BuIwer treaty is in the way 1t
must be looked after. The Clay ton Bulwer
treaty fell into general disregard more than
quarter OF century ago. and il its ghost
is now to be called up to prevent the United
States from doing a thing it wants to do its
final obsequies should be speedily ordered.
The apprehension apparently existed in the
convention that the canal company when 1t
got It's bonds guaranteed and the canal in
operation would adopt the policy of some OF
its predecessors in the TRANSPORTATION busi-
ness of charging all the traffic would bear
These objections, however, should not be
allowed to stand in the way of the compile
ton of the canal Some way should be de-
vised to lodge the control of the canal in the
Government of the United States That
done the Government will never have ex-
pended S100,0O0.o00 more wisely than In in

TO be obscured by factional obstruction. born OF
bygone internecine feuds in far-away Ireland.
The danger to the peace of the United
States and Great Britain does not lie
with the Irish-Amerlcan voter; it lies
with Englishmen themselves. If the
bitterness Of British feeling. which
shows itself at every opportunity in Great
Britain itself. should be engendered in the
minds of English-born voters in the United
States. feeling of distrust would be created
in the minds of American voters which
would make the residence of Englishmen in
the United States exceedingly unpleasant.
As it is, English bora voters often in time
come to take an American view of things
even including controversy with their
mother country But If English born veters
should ever be governed in the exercise of
the franchise in the United States by Eng
lish interests, strong argument would be
furnished in favor Of extending the period
of probation for the full term of an Ameri-
can voters minority - twenty-one years.
1t might be urged with some FEASIBILITY
that it takes a foreigner as long to overcome
his Partially for his mother country as it
takes an American boy to arrive at years of
observation
