Sir Humphrey Davy was so much in
terested in electricity that he made
many experiments which have become
historical in their utility. His brilliant
discoveries 70 excited him that he could
with difficulty leave them for needed
repose. He would have killed himself
By his constant experiments and steady
application to the science had he not
because Frustrated and his life endan-
gered thereby. His remarkable expert
ments, brilliant and triumphant, are yet
to be outdone by more modern philoso-
piers. Sir Humphrey Davy's great bat
terry, composed Of 1000 cells, became
world wids and historically honored. 1t
was the origin of the first flashes of what
is now termed the electric arc. That
was eighty years ago, and note the grand
discoveries since then:
Z The idea Of two pieces of charcoal, one
about an inch long and one less than
sixteenth part Of an inch in diameter,
being brought near to each other, till
they produce bright spark, for SO they
did. One part Of the coal was imme-
diately ignited to a wilderness, and by
removing them apart Dayy found con-
slant discharge Of electricity took place
sufficiently strong to heat the air in a
given space three times their size. He
caught the idea in moment and studied
out the mystery which the two pieces of
coal had produced. grand scheme
and discovery. BE saw the most bril-
liant ascending light, like a glowing
arch. broad and perfectly conical in the
middle.
The philosopher experimental to his
hearts content, each day bringing forth
new discoveries, and there is now no
higher scientific name known to men or
more honored for his great works and
discoveries than Davy, who, like Frank
lin, lived In his scientific experiments
and for humanity.
He, too, saw glorious discoveries to be
made, and hoped to live to witness the
results of many of his own discoveries

pe.troyer. OF Grasahopp.r..

There is small reptile out west
known as the fence lizard, which
catches and eats u great many grass
hoppers. Tho species is very common
in the infested regions. Skunks are
most active enemies Of the insect and
have been known to ascend trees for tho
purpose of catching them. For obvious
reasons it will hardly be practicable to
encourage these particular mammals,
but no such objections would apply to
toads, which are apt to swarm wherever
the choppers" are, gobbling the latter
greedily. 8
Many planters in California employ
floehs of turkeys for the purpose Of free
ing their orchards and vineyards Of
grasshoppers. One turkey will destroy
an almost incredible number in a-single
day. Incidentally the birds are fattened
at the cheapest possible rate. They are
SO fond of such food that sometimes
they deyour too many and die Of indi-
gestioa. Washington Star.

The barn owl-( Aluco fammeus) Is unde-
niably the farmers friend and by no
means the sportsman's enemy. From
observations made during the nesting
time it has been calculated that 1t will
bring to its callow young a mouse about

Among the Indians of North America
many strange beliefs are held respecting
demon heads that wander about, some
times harmlessly and at other times for
malignant purposes. Some Of them are
of gigantic size, with wings, while 9th
ers have faces of fire.
There used to be society among the
the Iroquois organized for the purpose
Of propitiating these extraordinary ter
rors. The latter, according to popular
conception, most commonly moved about
from tree to tree in solitary places,
where they were apt to be encountered,
much to the discomfort OF hunters and
women who CHANGED TO be alone in the
forest. Few things can be imagined
more disagreeable than to meet mex
pectedly In the woods great head six
feet high, without legs, arms or body.
Occasionally these remarkable crea-
lures would talk, but it was chiefly at
night that they had fiery aspect, their
favorite nocturnal haunts being marshes
and pools. Members of the exercising
society wore masks in imitation of the
heads when they performed ceremonies
for the purpose of driving such demons
away. OF course the fire faces were
invented to account for the jack-o'-lan-
terms or ''ignes fatui" which haunt moist
places. Washington Star,

There il good reason for thinking that
this condition of things is increasing
rather than diminishing. No sectional
cries should be raised; there should be
no waving of "the bloody Shirt" but
the fact should be mentioned in the pull
pit and through the press, and kept be-
fore the people everywhere and oil the
time, that those who work and sacrifice
for the neediest and most repulsive are
the ones to whom belong the highest
honos in the kingdom of Cod, There is
no error conceivable more perilous than
that which refuses to recognize the essen
tial manhood and brotherhood of men.
Many heresy is not worth mentioning
N comparison with the acknowledged and
persistent hersy of almost all churches
and ministers in many great States of
this Union. Is there any excuse for
such things, other than that which char
ity sometimes make for those who know
ing the right chose the wrong?
