The Female "Siamese Twins ="
APAIR OF PRETTY GIRLS WONDERFULLY
AND FEARFULLY JOINED.

In the New York Sun few days ago
reference was made to pair of In
dian "Siamese twins" who are about TO
be exhibited ali over the world. and
particularly at the Chicago Fair.
These twins are pretty girls, who have
been taught to play several musical
instruments, to sing and even to dance.
They are joined together as were the
Siamese twins, but the junction is of
bone, and not of skin and flesh merely
as was the case with the Siamese
twins. This junction, too, is four
inches long and about four inches wide
resembling somewhat the fern of a
hump, and this keeps their chests and
little stomachs apart. With this diff
ference they are as well formed as anv
other child, even down to their nails
OF course they are forced to stand fac
ing one another and their four little
hands either rest on the point of june
ton, OF are placed on each others
shoulders. They stand as if leaning on
one another, and walk in a peculiar
manner, the one advancing pushing
tie other backward, or both moving
sideways, and, as matter of course.
locOmotion IS very slow.
When they sit down their legs are
doubled under them in a way sugges-
tive of pain and discomfort. They eat
separately, but both feel hungry at the
same time, and when they lie down
both fall asleep together. They are
also apparently moved by the same
ideas, the one concluding a sentence
the other has begun. Radhika and
Dhudhika, for so they are called, are
so much alike in features that it is
hardly possible to distinguish them.
They were born in a village called
Noapara in the Angul district, in Orissa,
and their parents had four children
before the twins were born, and one
since. None of these, however, is in
any way defective.
When it became known in the viii
lage that these children were born so
joined together, the villagers declared
that they were an incarnation of the
devil, and no one would go near them
through fear; they refused to tell the
parents, who were very poor, any
thing; nor would any one give any |
sort of help. The Tahsilder, however,
in spite of what the Brahmins said to
deter him, went to their house and
helped them in time to save their
lives, and suggested to them that they
might make money by exhibiting the
This they did, and at the
time their present manager got hold of
them they were exhibiting the phe-
in the far interior.

Electric Storms.

Twice within very recent period
there have been what are called au-
roral or electric storms. One of these
occurred at night, and was signalized
by a brilliant display of Northern
lights. The second occurred last Fri
day, but, as it was in its maximum in
the daytime, it would not have been
noticed except for its remarkable effect
on telegraphic and other electrical in
struments. 1t is stated that it inter.
fered for more than an hour with the
working of electrical instruments of
all kinds over large part of the world.
In many telegraphic Offices it was i'm
possible to get the instruments to work
at all. In others they were run fit
fully, without the use of batteries, the
electric fOrco from the skies being am
pie for the purpose.
1t seems almost useless to speculate
on the causes Of these phenomena, in
view of the fact that the nature of
electricity itself is unknown. We all
know that there is such a force, and
that its source of supply appears to
depend chiefly on the influence of the
sun, the source of other forces. It is
true that it is not from the sun directly
that artificial electricity is produced,
but natural electricity such as auroral
displays and lightning, seem depend
ent on solar conditions. 1t has long
been noticed that auroral phenomena
and electric storms are particularly
frequent at the times when the surface
of the sun exhibits dark markings or
spots, and that they are most violent
when the spots are turned toward the
earth. These spots appear to be cavi
ties in the suns glowing atmosphere,
and very possibly great storms on the
suns surface. It seems, therefore,
natural that these disturbances should
be shown through electrical phenom-
ena must remain a mystery until fur
ther researches shall have cleared the
way.

The Peach Market.

Peaches have been going into New
York in the past ten days from Cali
fOrnia in large quantities. Twenty
one car loads were sold at the auction
one day last week from California, and
number of car loads from New Jersey
were sold at the same time. In New
Jersey there are two counties which
have nearly full crops, and they will
come into competition with Delaware
fruit. Connecticut has large crop
the Messrs. Hale and Argur have 1OO,-
900 baskets between them-and these
are but part of the many growers in
that state. Most of their fruit will go
to cities in their own state and to Bos-
ton. Peaches from southern Penn
sylvania and from western Maryland
where the trees are reported to be
full-have commenced to go in Phila-
delphia and other cities. This will
of course affect prices of our late varie-
ties.

A WoMAN's PLAN TO SEND GRAIN
BY PiPEs.-Mrs. N. f. Beasly, of Chi
cago, is the inventor of grain pipe
line for carrying small grain through
pipes. The project is still in its infan-
cy, but Mrs. Beasley is confident OF
the final success of the scheme. The
plan is to lay pipes from Chicago to the
Atlantic coast. The grain is to be
carried in continuous, ventilated
shaft, it is claimed without friction. A
continuous stream of grain is sup
posed to move twelve miles an hour.
The power stations are to be twenty
five miles apart, the sections being
that length, and the estimated cost of
this transportation is three cents a
bushel. A working model is to be
erected in Chicago this fall The cost
estimated is $9O,OOO,OOO for line from
Buffalo to the coast.

AMONG THE ALLEGHENIES.
THROUGH THE JUNIATA AND CONE
MAUGH VALLEYS TO PITTSBURGH.

1t is certain that the most pictur-
esque and lovely scenery among the
Alleghenies is to be found on the
Pennsylvania railroad between Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg. Every foot OF
ground is historic every bit of scenery
picturesque. We will pass over PhiIa-
delphia, owing to its familiarity to
every Delawarean, and take up the
historic little towns near by.
HaverfOrd, eight miles from Phila.
delphia, besides being near the site of
Haverford College, has also world
wide interest as marking a spot in
whose vicinity Benjamin West, the
Gu aker painter, was born. The coun-
try here is rolling.
The station of Eagle, Is miles from
Philadelphia, lies near EasttOwn town
ship, Chester county, the birthplace of
Gen. Anthony Wayne, whose daunt-
less courage and impetuous valOr in
the American Revolution, will always
keep the memory of mad Anthony"
green in the hearts of his countrymen.
At PaOli, 81 miles from Philadelphia,
occurred the infamous "Paoli Massa-
ere" of II body of Americans under
Gen. Wayne. The English General
Grey, managed to surprise an outpost
of Wayne's forces, but Wayne, by his
steadfast courage rallied the shattered
remains and covered the retreat of the
fugitives. A battle monument now
marks the spot of one of the many un-
counted British cruelties, occurring
during the Revolution. There are
many other quaint little places along
the road, but the space of the present
article will not allow them to be men.
