A SHOCKING STORY.
Far Away Florence,

A Frightful Tale of Superstition IN
Far Away Florence.
Scarcely a day now passes without
some new shocking story of supersti-
ton. The worst one recently has come
from the suburbs of Florence, where
lives a peasant whose daughter suffers
from violent attacks of hysteria, says
the New York Sun. Saying masses
proving of no avail, the priest told the
father that the only cure was at the
hands of some one having power to ex-
orcise evil spirits, and sent him to a
famous sorceress in a nearby village.
The father and daughter paid the old
woman what she demanded. Her house
was dark, and the sorceress told her
guests to follow her and kneel in every
room they entered. The bowling that
went on in every room was dreadful.
The peasant and his daughter were
filled with confidence.
You two" said the old woman.
''have only to return home and set a
light to your oven fire. The first per.
son who knocks at your door is the
cause of your daughters sickness;
therefore. as soon as any one crosses
the threshold, seize and place that per.
son In the presence of your daughter,
In the oven" =,
With this advice the pair went home,
and the parent kindled the fire as di-
rected. The fire was kept up the whole
night, but no one knocked. At break
of day knock was heard.
"Who is thereF' asked the peasant
For heavens sake give me q piece
of bread" said the voice without.
The peasant opened door and saw
poor old woman. He caught her up
in his arms and placed her in the oven.
The cries Of the poor creature were
dreadful Fortunately, some milkmen
happened to be passing and burst open
the door, when the woman, more dead
than alive, was taken out of the huge
oven. The actors in this drama are in
, the hands Of justice.

TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
1t Was Known to the Ancient Egyp-
tfans, Syrians and Persiass.

II Was Known to the Ancient Egyp-
tfans, Syrians and Persiass.
TRANSMISSION of blood as practiced in
surgery is by no means a recent de-
velopment in science. Medical records
show it to have been known to the
Egyptians, Syrians and Persians. The
Pittsburg Dispatch regards it as even
possible that the ancients were more
successful than the physicians OF recent
periods. In the seventeenth century so
many attempts were made in France,
accompanied by SO many failures and
fatalities, that the parliament of Paris
declared against it's legality. The ex-
periments continued, however, calf's
blood being substituted for human. The
results were not encouraging, the physi-
clans not being aware that the blood
of animals injected into the veins of
another belonging to different species
acted as poison For 200 years the
experiments were discontinued, and
then one day, some years ago, the story
of the death of Il young medical student
named Roman lie Golf, while trying
to save the life Of friend with his own
blood, created great sensation. A
street in Paris, named after LIE Golf,
commentaries his brave act. BY this
time the medical men had learned that
to be successful the blood must neither
be allowed to coagulate, nor air suf-
fered to enter the veins with 1t. Dr.
EouSsel of Geneva invented an appar-
atus which overcame both of the above
difficulties Since that time the ex-
periments have been continued with
remarkable success. Many lives have
been undoubtedly saved by it. An EN-
ploye of the Theatre Francois in Paris,
named Dupnitch. has given up his blood
several times to those in need of it, for
which he has been awarded a mag
nificent gold medal by the French gov
eminent.

According to a German doctor, who
has just published the results of long
course of experiments on this subject,
the sight is rarely alike in both eyes
He finds that only in one case out of
fifteen are both eyes in good condition.
In seven cases out Of ten one eye is
stronger than the other. In two cases
out of five patients are affected with
astigmatism, which may be defined as
an imperfect focusing of the light rays
entering the eyes. This usually arises
from a difference in the curvature of
the cornea or transparent portion of the
eye. Nearly so per cent possess only
an imperfect appreciation of colors.

EXTREMES OF HEAT AND COLD,

QuickIime Melted at 5000 Degrees
md Air LiQuefied and Frozen
solid.
The discovery of the oxygen blast
rendered great service to chemistry.
The apparatus is fed with coal gas and
oxygen, and a temperature Of 1000
deg has been obtained. Nothing but
quicllime has been found to resist this
heat, according to the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. 1t is, however sometimes
necessary to submit substances to q
temperature exceeding 1000 deg. and
Henri MOlssan, a French chemist, has
designed a furnace which, by employ
ing the heat yielded by the electric arc,
has given q temperature of 1000 deg.
He uses a fifty horsepower machine,
and the arc measured up to $50 am
peres and seventy volts. When the
temperature approaches $3.50 chrOm-
ium desquioxide and magnetic nonOxide
melt rapidly When the temperature is
close upon $500 lime, strOntia and
magnesia crystalline in a few minutes.
Uranium oxide, which cannot be re-
duced by charcoal at the highest tenn
perature of our furnaces. is quickly
reduced at 5000, and in ten minutes
it is easy to obtain an ingot of 120
grammes of seranium. At 5000 even
the material of the furnace (quicklime)
melts and flows like water, while car
bon quickly reduces calcium oxide, and
the metal is liberated in abundance.
While this is going on in France
English chemists are working at the
other extreme. Prof. Dewar Is expert
menting with the new scientific agency,
inconceivable cold. Air has been re-
duced not only to a liquid, but to a
solid two or three times within the
past fortnight Prof. Dewar has sue
ceeded in producing in his laboratory
a piece of solid air. He has not yet
tested the nature Of the new solid,
which is almost as clear as crystal.
1t may be jelly Of the solid nitrogen,
containing liquid oxygen, much as
calves foot jelly contains water diff
fused into gelatine, or it may be true
ice of the liquid air in which both oxy-
gen and nitrogen exist In solid form.
A doubt arises from the fact that Prof.
Dewar has not been able by his utmost
efforts to solidify pure oxygen, which,
unlike other gases, reSiStS cold pro-
duced by it's own evaporation. Under
the air pump nitrogen, on the other
hand. can be frozen with comparative
ease. Tt has already been proven that
in the evaporation of liquid air nitro
gen escapes first. Consequently the
LIQUID is constantly becoming richer
in that constituent which has hitherto
resisted qualification. 1t thus becomes
q question whether cold produced Is
sufficiently great to solidify oxygen or
whether it's mixture with nitrogen
raises it's freezing point, or whether
it is really frozen at all, but merely
entangled among the particles Of the
solid nitrogen.

To The Daily LIGHT:
The starting of false rumors is as low

tion of SANDER. So abominable crime,
that our courts allow those offended, it's
civil and criminal administrations for its
suppression. What sense is there now of
frightening our labOring men that If Geo.

MO, he would deny him any recreation or
pleasure as the only day left him for that
purpose Sun day" Occasionally this ru-

ney general and Gov. HOgg have not been
strong enough TO accomplish that kind
of class legislation here, and while they
succeeded to ruin the city ofAuStin of much
of its prosperity these fears need never
trouble us. The Hogg people are anxious
for its enforcement, but to the credit of
our coun ty attorney-a strong HOgg man
himSelf-be it said he has never tried to
accomplish any impoSSibilities in that di-
rectiOn, and he alone, and not the district
attorney, has these matters in charge.
Mr.. PaSchal has made splendid record
as faithful prosecuting officer, but he
has never tried to NEEDLE with affairs be-
meath his official duties. We are not of Mr..
Paschal's political faith, but do not
like to see such ignonimous warfare
against him, go unrefuted. Whenever we
have had fair chance to vote for
democrat, we have always felt it our
duty to do so, and we regret the deplora
BILE political condition cOmpels that us to
hunt for the men most capable to serve, mot
to boss US, without the endorsement by
parties. Neither Capt. Shardein or Mr..
Paschal are responsible for this state of
affairs, and we even hope that Mr.. Shar-
dein is not aware, or Ii aware, does not
countenance the false rumors, some of
his adherents foolishly start against his
opponent. If Mr.. Paschal, or as far as
that is concerned, If Mr.. Shardein gets

This Sunday law enforcement may have
its good points. but the hard working
man of temperate habits is made slave
thereby. There are other laws to reach
what Sunday Law" fanatics claim the
Sunday law alone can correct. The state
secures heavy bonds from saloon men,
ere they can do business. Every wife,
mother or sister has special law in her
favor, there is punishment for drunk
enness. So my colleagues of the bar can
trample with impugnity upon the rumor,
that George Paschal-the most nti-Hogg

he never did as district attorney, and as
sumo to perform Mr.. Bart DeWitts

GREEN'S BRIGADE ASSOCIATION
BRENNAN, TEXAS. Jan. "a, 1893.


Dear Comrade: The ninth annual re-
union of Green's Brigade Association
will take place at Flatonia, Fayette coun-
ty, Tex, Feb. p, 1898. Hope you may be
able to attend. The transportation COM
mittee have secured rates of one and one
third fare for members desiring to attend
from the following lines of railway:
Houston and Texas Central, East and
West Texas, Southern Pacific and Aran-
saS on the certificate plan, which is as
follows:
Certificates must be stamped by joint
ticket agent at place of meeting, and
must be signed by the secretary of the
association as directed herein. On the
certificate plan the passenger pays full
fare going to the meeting and secures a
receipt therefor from the ticket agent,
by request at the time of purchase, which
receipt is a certificate, which, when
stamped by the ticket agent at place of
meeting, and filled out and signed by the
proper official at the meeting, becomes
authority for the sale of return ticket
over the same route as was used on the
going trip, at One-third fare, thus making
rate of one and one. third fare for the
round trip.
When the journey is made over more
than one line, it is frequently necessary
for the passenger to purchase a separate
local ticket and procure a receipt and
certificate therefor from each of the lines
over which he travels in going to the
meeting. Passengers should therefor eS-
certain what portion of the journey can
be made by the ticket procured from
each agent, and should purchase tickets
and secure certificates as may be neces-
sary. Failure to procure or present a
certificate invalidates any claim for re-
duction in return fare.
The ticket purchased for going passage
may be either unlimited or limited, &C
cOrding to the rate paid, orregulatioDs in
effect on the line over which it reads,
but the return ticket sold at the reduced
fare will, In all cases, be limited to con-
tinuons passage, beginning on the date
OF issue. Certificates will not be honored
for return tickets at reduced rates unless
presented on the last day of meeting, or
not later than one day after adjourn
ment; nor will certificates be honored il
receipts attached show that going tickets
were purchased more than two days
prior to the commencement of the meet
ing or after the close thereof.
The reduction authorized for this occa-
sion is conditioned upon the attendance
Of not less than fifty persons holding GER
tificates Of the character described. 1t
will be the duty of the secretary, or other
collect the certificates and submit them
to the joint ticket agent, appointed for
the purpose, who will stamp no certiti-
Gates unless those Of fifty persons have
been thus submitted. After the certiti-
Gates have been stamped by the agent,
filed out and signed by the secretary,
they should be returned to the owner by
the secretary. Certificates will not be
bonored for the issue of return tickets at
reduced rates unless they have been both
stamped by the ticket agent and signed
by the secretary or other person desig-
mated. Respectfully,
J. G. RANKIN, Secretary.
