Wake the Model that Of a Private Soldier.

Charles l.. Gurley sends US q clipping from
The RcUier, Of MankatO, Mimi, which is let
ter written by Hon. J. +. Wallace, better known
as Farmer Wallace, of Bismarck, n. d., in
which Comrade Wallace for he is an old vet
eran. saws that having heard that the citizens
Of Mankato contemplate erecting a monument
in commcmoration Of the deeds of the Union
soldiers in the war Of 1868. suggests that as
the Generals have already been honOred in the
highest degree, and that statues and mOpu-
ments mark almost every battlefield. and have
been erected in parks, cemeteries and public
buildings througout the country, 1t Is high
time the private soldier IS remembered.
Comrade Wallace says:
that prompts the suggestion that your model be
that Of " Private Soldier" IL Is the feeling and
conviction that monument OF this design will
couseerate more ground, cast commemorative
patriotic hearts. and inspire more love OF country,
q home and Of each other, than one Of another
design.

A Queer Production.

Among the many strange things that are pro-
duced in the FlOwery Kingdom perhaps few are
more worthy Of notice by the curious than the
Vegetable Worm" or as it is called in China,
Chung ts'aO, or Tung- ch' ung-hsia.ts'aO
This is perhaps the oldest insect in existence.
At one time Of its life it may be said to belong
to the animal kingdom, and at another to the
vegetable. 10 commences life as q worm or cat
eTpilar and makes its exit theTefrom as plant.
During the early part Of its existence, and un-
iii full-grOwn, il remains several inches under
ground, invariably in the neighborhoOd Of the
rata tree, large scaret-hOwered myrtle. Hav-
ing attained its full grOwth-which is about
three inches in leugth-the wonderful change
alluded TO above commences. A vegetable fun
gus fixes itself directly on the creatures neck,
takes root there and commences 10 grow until
it has attained a length Of form six TO 10 inches
in appearance not unlike u small bulrush,
without leaves aud with dark brown head.
While the plant or parasite grows upward the
roots spread at the same time into the body Of
the worm, which it gradually fills, but without
altering its shape in the slightest degree. When
the body Of tho insect is filled with these roots
both caterpillar and fungus die and become dry
and hard.
The upper portion Of this singular growth
the head Of tho buTIsh-i5 utilized in the
Chinese pharmacopea, being sold at a very
high price for medicinal purposes. 1t is used
by the native physicians principally for diseases
OF the throat and lungs.

There are some $50 lights on the coast of the
Atlantic and on the Gulf of Mexico 100 on the
Pacific Coast and some $50 on our Great Lakes.
The 1000 inexpensive lights on our Western
rivers have revOlutiOnized steamboat naviga-
ton, making it as safe to run by night as by
day. These river lights consist simply of a
lantern feed to a post, and costing about SO
each while it costs on the average not more
than $3.50 year each TO maintain them.
There are three classes of lighthOuses-th
primary sea-coast lights, which mariners make
for in coming from across the waters the
secondary sea cOast and lake-cOast lights, By
which vessels find their way by night along
our coasts; and the sound, bay, and harbOT
lights. Each of these lights consists of a
lamp set in lens inside Of lantern which
crowns a tower. There are six orders Of
lights, graded according to their intensity.
The lamp Of the lowest or sixth order, which
consumes only half a gill of coal-Oil an hour,
gives about as much light as an ordinary parlor
reading lamp (say, II eandle-pOwer6 while the
largest or frst-order lamp, which burns l6
gills an hour, gives $40 eandle-pOwer Of light.
But while the naked flame of the lamp gives
this much light. the French Fresnel lens in
which the lamp is set cOndenses and cOncen-
trates this light so that it is multiplied in
power many times. Thus the little 12-candle-
power flame Of the sixth-Order lamp has in a
lens power OF IS candles; and the great 450-
cande-power light Of the hTst-Order lamp, when
placed in its enormous lens, gives power Of
some 1900 candles. Such lens is II feet
high, and has diameter Of 6 feet.
The lighthouses are built of stone, brick, OF
iron. Many, and especially.the smaller ones in
harbOrs, bays and sounds, are built on the land
Sometimes the light is placed in a cupola of a
house. Generally, however, it has tower tC
itself adjoining the house. In either case the
light-kecper may have his family with him
and often there is attached to the station plot
of land, where he can keep his COW, and even
his horse, and have his garden. But when tho
lighthouse is on an island, there is only
tower, in the various stories of which the
several keepers must eat and sleep and work
and as room is quite limited they must leave
their wives and children on shore, as sailor:
do when they 20 to sea.
