Queer Phenomenon at Sea.

Captain j. Roben. commander of the
Lloyd steamer Neckar, has written to
the German marine observatory in Bre-
men that when he was off Sakota, on
Sept. l, at 8 p M, the sea suddenly be-
came an even milk white luminous color,
which at times seemed to flame up from
the depths of the water, like the in
creased glow of an electric lamp when
the current grows too strong.
No bottom was found when the lead
was sunk, and at 10 p. IN. the sharp edge
between the bright and the dark water
was reached. After twenty-five minutes
quite bright water again appeared. and
after II p. IL. it decreased.
The next night the phenomenon was
observed to be still more intense, but
after that it was not again met with.
The appearance had nothing in common
with the usual phosphorescence of the
sea.
During its presence the horizon was
everywhere distinctly visible, except
where at various changing points on the
horizon the light seemed to shine bright
ly, at which time thin haze seemed to
lie on the water.-London News.

saved by a nIadstone.

William Southard is a workman at
Kingan's. Sunday, while walking in
indianapolis, he was bitten by dog,
which was evidently mad. He killed the
dog after long chase. Then he exam
ined his wounded hand and found that
the bite was discoloring it and that the
member was swelling badly. Doctors
advised him to seek maidstone, and
Monday he went to Whitestown, Boone
county, near which Moses Nease, a
farmer, lives. Nease is u generous man,
who has II maidstone of great local fame.
Southard applied to him, and is back in
this city satisfied that he is safe from
danger.
The stone, ii square, white, porous
substance, was applied. 1t stuck firmly
for nearly niue hours, falling off once,
full of green poison. The ftone was
cleaned in boiling milk, which turned
green from the effect of the poison ex-
tracted from the wound by the stone.
The stone stuck deep in the swollen flesh,
drew the muscles and leaders into strong,
knotty cords and ''did its work. visibly.
The owner of the stone is philanthro-
pist, and has owned the stone for genera
tions. It is part, he says, of a Virginia
stone owned by an uncle and broken
into several parts, so as to be of service
in many parts of the country.-Indian-

Why cofree Is Adu,teratea.

The main reason for the adulteration
of coffee is that there is not enough of it
to go around Mocha now sells at the
highest price ever known. which is about
25 cents a pound in large quantities for
the green beam Pure Java sells for 90
cents a pound and pure Rio for 14a
cents n pound. These are very high
prices and the supply of the best grades
is limited. The temptations to adultera-
ton are now therefore at the highest.
Some low grade Brazil coffee was recent
ly sold at II cents a pound. and, when
that comes to be doctored by the grind
ers, the coffee part of the product will
be small. There is a wide difference
between 30 cents a pound and 10 cents.
1t is difference between the best and
the poorest, and generally represents the
difference between the pure article and
the adulterated.-New York Sun.

The Mi.treatment Of Hor.sa.

Doubtless it was the daily spectacle
of the abuse of horses which stimulated
Henry Bergh TO the great service which
has justly made his name renowned.
But the guilt of the abuse is not confined
to draymen and teamsters. The igno-
rance and indifference of wealth and
fashion to the treatment of horses are
quite as conspicuous, and for obvious
reasons much more objectionable.
The horse, which is one of the most
sensitive and delicate of animals, is
greatly to be commiserated as he ap-
pears in the fashionable drive of Central
park. He is treated as part of the
show of the parade, and he is at the
mercy of the owner, who buys horses
not because he likes them or knows
anything about them, but because he
must have an equipage, and he -sban-
dons them to the care of grooms and
coachmen, whose sole aim is to produce
more 'sswell' effect than their rivals.
For ''stylish" effect the horse is robbed
of his natural ornament and defense,
and is checked and trussed and tortured
by harness which encumbers his ma
tural action and forces him into an arti-
fetal .'gait."
Human knowledge and skill directed
to an auxiliary animal like the horse
should aim to develop his natural apti-
tudes. He should be treated as hu-
name and skillful gardener treats tree
in our modern landscape gardening; not
as tree was maltreated by the false
and morbid taste of two centuries ago.
Such remarks do not apply to the low
ers of horses who care for them with
sympathy and intelligence, who compre-
hend their practical helplessness and
acknowledge their faithful service. Such
lovers permit in their stables no clash
ions" invented by ignorant and inhuman
grooms to produce stylish action" to
impress similar ignorance and folly
