When the divorce case was called
Jane was placed upon the stand to
testify to her allegations in detail.
What is your name?n asked her at
torney, SITTER she had been sworn.
"Now what's the use of asking me II
dcrn fool question like that" was the
reply. "You know what my name is,
an so do you, don't you, judge"
"Come, come!n exclaimed the attor.
ncy, don't address his honor; you must
answer my question"
After considerable wordy sparring
Jane was induced to answer the pre-,
lininary questions.
"You say your husband ran away?'
"Yes, sir: / say it an ] swear to it.
/ wish you'd hurry up with this bust
ness. I've got pies in the oven, and
I've got to get back.
"Well, never mind the pies" re.
marked the judge.
"Well, l will mind The pies. Do you
suppose want 'em tp burn up!n
This case has nothing to do with
pies" said his honor, trying to be
| serene.
well, I've got something to do with
'em," rejoined Jane, warmly.
"Never mind that now s%oothingly
broke in the attorney. "Answer my
questions. Why.did your husband run

the plaintiff. "say,look here, how long

The case went-on for ten minutes
when it developed that another reason
of the plaintiff for seeking divorce was
the fact that she had engaged her hanc
and heart to ~anotller-onc William Nc

The Process Of Coating mirrors.

The process of coating mirrors with
mercury does not materially differ now
from that of three hundred years ago.
A large stone table ground perfectly
smooth is 80 arranged as to be easily
canted little on one side by means OF
screw set beneath it. Around the
edges of the table is groove, in which
mercury may flow and drop from one
corner into bowls. The table is first
made perfectly horizontal, and then
tin foil is carefully laid over it, cover
ing a greater space than the glass to be
coated. A strip of glass is placed along
each OF the three sides of the foil to
prevent the mercury from flowing off.
The metal is then poured from ladies
upon the foil till it is nearly quarter
of an inch deep, and its tendency to
flow is checked by it's affinity for the
in foil, and the mechanical obstruc-
ion of the slips of glass. The plate of
lass, cleaned with especial care, is
exterously slid on from the open side,
and its advancing edge is kept in the
mercury, 80 that no air or floating OK.
ide of the metal or other impurities
can get between the glass and the clean
surface of the mercury. When exactly
in its place it is held till one edge Of
the table has been elevated ten or
twelve degrees, and the superfiuous
mercury has run off. Heavy weights
are placed on tho glass, and it is left
for several hours. 1t is then turned
over and placed on frame, the side
covered with the amalgam which ad-
heres to it being uppermost. In this
position the amalgam becomes hard
and the plato can then be set on edge;
but for several weeks it is necessary to
guard against turning it over. as until
the amalgam is thoroughly dried the
coating is easily injured. The process
is attended with many serious difficult
ties. The health of workmen is affected
by the fumes of mercury; the glass
plates are frequently broken by the
weight placed upon them, and the
coating of amalgam is frequently
spoiled by drops of mercury removing
portions of it rs they tricklc down, or

An Ancient Alligator.

An alligator has Just been killed in
Louisiana that is known to have been
120 years old. In 1773 the great-great-
grandfather of the present owner of
the plantation on which this alligator
was killed purchased the plantation.
His first work was to rid it of alliga-
tors. He raided family of alligators
and killed all but one, who escaped,
leaving portion of his TAIL This alli-
gator was seen from time to time and
recognized because part of his tail was
gone. The alligator was never tanned,
but in a general way received the care
and protection of each member of tho
family through the four generations.
A visitor to the plantation saw great
alligator lying on the bank. He raised
his gun, but it required several shots
before the animal was killed. He was
delighted with the success, when his
host came up and showed his sorrow
at whet his guest had done. The atli-
gator was buried on the banks of tho
stream, tho entire family attending
the obsequies. New York Observer.

A Wire With Remarkable Properties.

A New England firm has introduced
a remarkable resistance metal in wire,
sheet or castings, which is regarded as
a very important contribution to this
class of material in electrical engi-
neering. The wire resembles ordinary
copper wire on the outside, has pinkish
white tinge at the surface of fracture, and
is very strong, without losing much
ductility. Combined with these favor
able mechanical qualities it is claimed
that the wire has the remarkable resist
ance of thirty-five times that of q
copper with temperature coefficient
of less than ne-tenth. that of German
silver.-New York Advertiser.

THE CITRUS BLIGHT
AS 1t Appears Through Commissioner
Marsden's Microscope

This morninga STAR reporter caught
Commissioner Marsden and DIR. Rogers
examining bugs through a powerful
microscope. When seen through the
microscope the bugs looked about three
times the size Of big bedbugs and
having the same general appearance,
except that they were of a grayish
color The specimen examined was a
sample of the ordinary citrus blight
now causing horticultursts so much
anxiety and freshly plucked from an
orange tree this morning. Under a
magnifying power of only fifty diameters
one could see large cluster Of eggs in
process of Matching, could see the in
sects grow and crawl and keep on
growing There were insects Of all
sizes, although the process of Matching
had only lately commenced. One
look through the glass at this interest
ing sight would be enough to convince
the most skeptical that the total des-
truction Of our citrus trees is but a
question of time if the blight is allowed
to continue in existence in these
Islands.
According to the Commissioner there
are but two ways of getting rid Of it
First, by continual spraying; second
by the introduction of parasite which
will prey upon the blight The objec
ton to the first plan is that while one
