occurring on a stock train coming from

large shipment of steers was made to

The game went along very well for
a couple of days. On the third day the
conductor, going through the caboose
during the afternoon, was laid out with
establishment at hearing the remark: Il
raise you five steers" Suiting the ac-
ton, the person who spoke them put
hive matches on the board. He was fol-
lowed up with more matches, each one
representing a steer, and still the game
went on When the shipment arrived
in Denver it was owned by two instead

How Frauds and Adu lterants May DO

Artificial coffees can be detected in
unground samples by careful ex-
animation and separation of all beans
which do not have a portion of the fine
mem brane with which they were orig
inally invested. still adhering IN the
cleft The suspected beans should be
cut open and the structure examined.
The uniform structure of the artificial
coffee is very distinctive and after com.
parison with that of genuine coffee
can never be mistaken for the latter.
Pure, ground roasted coffee will
float on cold water, coloring it very
slightly and slowly. while bogus cof-
fee, cbicory, roasted cereals, etc, sink,
coloring the water quickly. Chicory
is very easily detected by this test,
since the particles in sinking leave a
trail of color behind them Cereals,

lection by the water test, but they
respond readily to iodine, giving the
characteristic reaction for starch A
hot water extract of the adulterated
sample containing cereals, or other
starch bodies. when filtered, cooled,
calculated with sulphuric acid and de-
colorized by permanganate of potas-
SUM, will show blue color on the adj
ditlon of tincture of iodine. Chicory
contains no starch, hence if the water
is quickly colored and iodine does not
give the characteristic reaction, chicory
is probably present The microscopic
examination will reveal the presence
of starches, if cereals, acorns, peas or
beans constitute the adulterant, and
generally sufficient relics of the orig
inal structures of these su distances will
escape destruction in Increasing proc
ess for their classification. The pres
ence of chicory is also finally verified

SENSITIVE SCORPIONS.
The Delicate Hearing Apparatus Of This
and Other Insects.

Inc delicate Hearing Apparatus of This
and Other Insects.
A correspondent writes to the Specta-
tor to confirm what that journal has
recently said about the scorpions very
sensitive ear for the violin" II have"
says the correspondent studied the
habits of the scorpion for many years,
and have often noticed how very sensi-
tive scorpions are to the most delicate
sound, musical or otherwise. Under
the thorax the scorpion has two comb
like appendages, which are the anten-
nae (pectinat@(. 1t is pretty we'll set
tied by Psychologists and entomologists
that in insects the antenn@ represent
the organs of hearing. These delicate
structures are easily affected by the
vibrations of sound, and there can be
no doubt whatever that they are also
affected by sounds quite inaudible to
the human ear. The slightest vibra-
ton of the atmosphere from any cause
whatever at once puts in motion the
delicate structures which compose the
antenn@, to which organs insects owe
the power of protecting themselves
against danger as we'll as the means of
recognizing the approach of one
another. Spiders have wonderful eye.
sight, but l am quite sure that the scor.
pion's vision, Notwithstanding his six
eyes, is far from being acute It is
very difficult to catch spider with a
pair of forceps, but scorpion can be
easily captured. if no noise is made.
Spiders see their prey before they are
caught in the web, but the scorpion
makes no movement whatever to seize
flies or cockr1aches until they indicate
their whereabouts by movements This
being the case, it can readily be under
stood how easily the scorpion may be
reused into motion by the vibrations of
music, as described in the article alluded
to. If a tuningfork be sounded on the
table on which keep my Gagged scor-
pion, he at once becomes agitated, and
strikes out viciously with his sting. On
touching him with the vibrating tuning
fork, he stings it, and then coils himself
up, as scorpions do when hedged in. In
Jamaica, the negroes believe that scor-
pions know their name; so they never
call out, See, Scorpion when they
meet with one on the ground or wall,
for fear of his escaping. They thus in
directly recognize the scorpions deli
cate appreciation of sound; but if you
wish to stop a scorpion in his fight,
blow air on him from the mouth, and
he at once coils himself up. l have re-
peatedly done this; but with spider it
has a contrary effect Music charms a
snake into silence, as the experiments
at the Zoo and elsewhere prove; but
the agitated contortions and writings
of the scorpions when reused by the
sound of the violin only prove that they
are reused by the vibrations of sound
caused by music, and this would hap
pen if they were disturbed by the dis
cordant sounds of a penny trumpet or
any other unmusical Instrument

atiler Of Charles Washington Coleman
buted by M. Louisa McClelland.]
Days Of my youth,
We have glided away;
Hairs Of my youth,
Ye are frosted and gray;
Eyes OF my youth,
Your keen sight is no more;
Cheeks Of my youth,
We are furrowed all DER;
Strength Of my youth,
All thy vigor is gone;
Thoughts OF my youth,
Your gay visions are flown.
Days of my youth,
wish not your recall;
Hairs of my youth,
I'm content we shall fall;
Eyes OF my youth,
You much evil have seen;
Cheeks OF my youth,
Bathed in tears you have been;
Strength OF my youth,
Why lament thy decayf
Thoughts Of my youth,
We have led me astray.
Days OF my age,
We will shortly be past;
Pains Of my age,
Yet awhile We can last;
Joys Of my age,
In true wisdom delight;
Eyes OF my age,
Be religion your light;
Thoughts OF my age,
Dread yc not the cold'sod;
Hopes Of my age,
Be we fixed on your God.
