Luminous Paint.

According to Jaksch, the sulphides
of calcium, strontium, barium and zinc
(the last prepared by distillation in
vacuo) are phosphorescent after ex-
posure to sunlight for certain time.
But only the calcium sulphide retains
the phosphorescent power for any con,
siderable time The pure calcium sui
phide gives forth yellowish light, but
after being raised to red heat and re-
ceiving the addition Of a small quantity
of salt of bismuth, it is transformed
into a material emitting a violet light
for more than forty-eight hours after an
exposure of few seconds to sunlight.
A luminous paint may be made by
adding two pounds of this treated
calcium sulphide and two ounces OF
glycerine to a solution of one pound of
pure white gelatin in two quarts of
warm water. The liquid should be
applied hot, and two coats are sufficient.
For outdoor use, little shelac in
borax should be added to the paint,
which should receive also a protective
coat Of shellac yarnish.

Obsolete Words.

The number of obsolete words that
are to be found in Webster's dictionary
is considerably larger than people have
any idea of, says the Boston Herald.
The following letter, written by an
alleged poet to an editor, who had
treated his poetry with dersion, fur
nishes some idea of them
"SIR: You have behaved like an
impetignous scrogel Like those who,
envious Of any moral celsitude, carry
their ungicity to the height Of creating

with all sorts and conditions Of pas.
sengers, conspicuous among them
being crowd of jolly university
students. Opposite the boys sat hard
featured female, evidently on her way
from a meeting at the exposition. Next
her sat a bright. faced woman talking
with friend. Naturally the talk drfted
upon the subject of the revival meet
ings, and the friend asked, II suppose
you have been to some of them?"
"No, have not" the other replied
81 have not had time" and as she
spoke she signalled the conductor t,
let her off the car.
At her words the hard-featureo
female sitting next to her quickly
turned and leaning forward, said ir
solemn tones, Haven't had time VII
you have time to go to hell ?"
The car had stopped, and as the
lady reached the door she hurled,
retorted, IF have I'll see you later.
Then she stepped into the stree

THE STEEL COLORED LADY

The Enterprising Little Immigrant From
Australia.

The Enterprising Little Immigrant From
Australia.
Orange growers will be glad to learn
that the parasite that was sent here by
Mr.. Koebee about a year ago from
Australia to make war upon the red
scale is now propagating finely. 1t
will be remembered that very large
percentage of the specimens died on
the voyage, and that but very few
reached here in good condition. For
some reason this bug was not received
with much favor from our hortlcultur
lists, and it was supposed that he had
refused to become acclimated, and had
gradually died out. But this is not
true. The specimens that were col
onized at Commissioner kercheva's
place on Lemon street have prop gated
very extensively and feed voraclously
on the red scale. A reporter of the
Herald visited the Kercheval place
yesterday and found that the trees there
were alive with them, and that they
seemed to be in fine condition. Of
course these are the progeny of the few
pairs that were set out in the orchard
over year ago. Since the death OF
Mr.. kerCheval no care whatever has
been taken of them, but they have just
grown up wild. 1t is, however, of
great interest to the orange growers to
be assured that this parasite is increas-
ing and thriving, and has become
thoroughly naturalzed. Mr.. Rochelle
said that this insect was the voracious
enemy in Australia Of the red scale.
There is no reason to believe he will
change his nature here, and we have
little doubt that he has found enough
of his natural enemies at the Kercheval
place to account for his present fine
condition. The scientific name of this
parasite is oycus chalybemS. 1t has
been generally alluded to, however, as
the steel colored laoy-bug. National
