rhe scorpion,s wonderfo1 "a r.

4 lave studied the habits of the scor-
pion for many years. and have often
noticed how very sensitive scorpions are
to the most delicate sound, musical
or otherwise. Under the thorax the
scorpion has two comblike appendagesy
which are the antennse pectinat@). 1t Isl
pretty well settled by physiologists and.
ento1nologists that in insects the an
tennR 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 vibration of the at
mosphere. from any cause whatever, at
once puts in.motion the delicate structs
ures which compose the atenn@, to
which organs insects owe the power of
protecting themselves against danger
as well as the means of recognizing the
approach of one another, = London Spec

Two kinds of boring sea snails sup
piled IN ancient times the most famous
of all dyes, known as Tyrian purple,
which was considered too splendid to be
worn by any but kings and mobiles. One
pound of wool dyed with it was worth
$175, the process by which it was ex-
tracted being very tedious and six
pounds of dye liquor being required for
staining pound of wool. The liquor
was procured by placing the very small
whelks in a mortar and crushing them
To this the animals extracted from the
larger shells Were added, as well as GER
tain proportions of urine and water in
which the snails had been allowed to
putrefy. In the mixture thus com
pounded the cloth or wool to be dyed
was soaked. being afterward exposed to
light Chemists say that by this proc
ess there was effected a Transformation
OF uric acid into purpurate of ammonia,
termed for short .smurexide," I" because
one of the two species of snails used was
the murex. The other species was what
is known as the purpura
5 The murex and spurpura were mixed
IN the process in the proportion Of two
to one. Fabrics thus dyed had a very
and beautiful effect of color,
presenting metallic green reflections
from one point of view and in others
showing brown and purple tints. Chem
lists for some time imagined that the
iridescepce of the feathers of humming
birds and. peacocks was caused by a sub
stance of the nature of mureHde, but it
is known now that these brilliant hues
are ocSssioned by u structure of the
feathers which breaks mp the light.
MureGde is now obtained from guano
as well as from. mollusks,- Interview in

How His Heart was Won.

When Colonel Van Wyck was run
ming for congress many years ago in the
Fifteenth New York district, there was
certain Irishman who steadfastly re-
fused to give the old soldier any en-
couragement. The colonel was greatly
surprised, therefore, when Pat informed
him on election day that he had CON
cluded to support him.
''Glad to hear it. glad to hear it, said
the colonel. II rather thought you were
against me, Patrick"
"Well, sir" said Patrick, II wuz, and
whin ye stud by me pigpen and talked
that day fur two hours or worse ye
didn't bulge me hairs breadth, sir;
but after ye WIZ gone away / got to
thinking now ye reached yer hand over
the fence and scratched the pig ON the
back till he laid down wild the pleasure
of it, and made up me mind that whir
a rale colonel was as sociable as that !

WEDNESDAYS ELECTION.

No Rooms Big Enough for the New
Voting System.
City Clerk Teed has been busy for two
or three days past getting the election
paraphernalia ready for use on Wednes-
day. 1t was soon discovered that not
one room in eight rented for election
purposes is large enough to contain the
booths, tables and ballot box, when
placed at the distances from each other
required by law.
AS the statute contains no clause pro-
hibiting the fencing in of half-acre of
street, that method will be followed on
Wednesday. Among the election sup
plies at each precinct will be fifty feet
OF half-inch rope, which stretched from
stake to stake. must, on this occasion,
provide the ''room" and trailing" con-
templated by the statute.
