low uga Me1ts.

If we drop a lump Of sugar into a cup
Of tea, we find it takes a considerable
time to melt if allowed to remain at the
bottom of the vessel, but if we hold 1t
UP in the spoon near the surface of the
liquid it d~issolves much more speedily.
This is owing to the sugar, as it melts,
rendering the portion of the tea con-
tanning it heavier. The sweetened part,
therefore, descends, leaving the sugar
constantly in contact with u~nsweetened
or only partially sweetened tea, in fact,
a continual circulation of fluid is pro-
NOTED until the whole is dissolved.
When the sugar is placed or permitted
to lie at the bottom of the cup, it dis
solves until the layer of fluid next it is
thoroughly sweetened or saturated, when
it practically ceases to dissolve any fur
Their, the sweetened and heavier stratum
above it acting for a considerable time,
until the law of diffusion comes grad
ually into play, like an impervious COW
ering in keeping back the lighter un-
sweetened fluid above.
Hence the reason also why stirring, in
breaking up the saturated layer and al.
lowing access to the unsweetened Dor
ton, is so effectual in bringing about
the uniform sweetening Of tea. Life is
not infrequently sweetened by the same
stirring up process .-Brooklyn Eagle.

The beginning OF the end in the fight
on the repeal of the silver purchasing
clause Of the Sherman law has now COM
menced IL the senate. 1t is to be a con
test Of physical endurance, a continuous
session to wear out the lung capacity of
the a~nti-repeal senators and force them
TO come TO a vote. 1t is the barbarous
result Of a false sense of courtesy which
prevents the majority from deciding by
a vote that a vote shall be taken on the
question OF repeal. The senators in
favor of silver are supposed to be in the
minority and afraid to come to a vote on
the question. and in order to prevent it,
they abuse the privilege of a time-hon-
ored custom of the senate which allows
free discussion to the fullest extent be.
fore the final vote is taken. To achieve
their purpose Of preventing the repeal OF
the measure they have determined 10
talk against tine and prevent the sem
ate from ever coming to a vote on the
proposition. The opposition, in order
to wear them out, have decided to take
recess no more until the question is de-
cided. The silver men have the adyan.
age as all they have to do is to keep one
man talking and another to watch that
a quorum 10 present. The others can 90
to sleep in committee rooms and lobbies.
The repeal cannot do this, for as soon al
the question OF quorum 10 raised they
must appear in the house in a body,
Whether this will force q compromise
vote, or an adjournment remains to be
seen, but on a question of physical en-
durance, day and night continuously
the struggle cannot last very long.

AN UNANSWERED QUESTION.

Why DO Cats Eyes shine In the EarR
While Mems Eyes DO Not:
Why do cats eyes shine in the dark
while mems eyes do not? The author of
idle Days In Patagonia" raises this
question without answering it. He shot
and wounded an eagle owl, and the sight
of the bird, he says, was n of the
greatest surprises with which nature
ever favored him. The owls haunt was
an island overgrown with grass and tall
willows. Thither Mr.. Hudson went to-
perch waiting for sunset. He eyed the
intruder so calmly as almost to disarm
him, but hunters of specimens have a
way of hardening their hearts. Mr..
Hudson fired. The owl swerved on his
perch, remained suspended for a few mo-
ments and then slowly futtered down.
He says:
I found my victim stung to fury by
his wounds and ready for the last su-
preme effort. Even in repose he is a big,
eaglelike bird; now in the uncertain
light he looked gigantic in size-a mon
ster Of strange form and terrible aspect.
Each particular feather stood on end,
the tawny barred tail spread out like a
fan, the immense tiger colored wings
wide open and rigid, so that as the bird,
that had clutched the grass with his
great feathered claws, swayed slowly
from side to side-just as a snake about
to strike sways his head, or as an angry,
watchful cat moves it's tail-frst the tip
of one, then of the other wing touched
the ground.
The black horns stood erect, while in
the center of the wheel shaped head the
beak snapped necessarily, producing q
sound like the clicking of a sewing ma
chine. This was a suitable setting for
the pair of magnificent, furious eyes, on
which / gazed with kind of fascination,
not unmixed with fear, when I remem-
bered the agony suffered on former oc-
casions from sharp, crooked talons driy-
en- into me to the bone.
The irides were of a bright orange
color, but every time I attempted to ap-
proach the bird they kindled into great
globes of quivering yellow fame, the
UldIh pupLS DCAAS I0Ahu Ny q SS1u~
tillating crimson light which threw out
minute yellow sparks into the air. When
I retired from the bird, this preternatu-
raj fiery aspect would instantly vanish.
The question as to the cause of this
fiery appearance is one hard to answer.
We know that the source of the lumi-
mostly in owls and cats eyes is the light
rejecting membrane between the retina
and the sclerotie coat Of the eyeball, but
the mystery remains. When with the
bird, I particularly noticed that every
time / retired the nictilating membrane
would Immediately cover the eyes and
obscure them for some time, as they will
when an, owl is confronted with strong
sunlight, and this gave me the impression
that the fiery, flashing appearance was
accompanied with Or followed by a burn
ing or smarting sensation.
I have lived a great deal among semi
savage men. I have often seen them
frenzied with excitement, their faces
white as ashes, their hair erect and their
eyes dropping great tears Of rage, but ]
have never seen In them anything ap-
preaching to that fiery appearance of the
owL-Youth's Companion.
