Stories are told of guides who have
dropped sticks into streams to find which
way they were flowing, and when the sticks
went in a different direction from what
they thought was right, disregarding their
plain testimony and avowing that the
stream was running up hill.
Other stories are told Of hunters who
have been found frozen to death in the
depths of tangled swamps with compasses
picked to pieces because they would not
point the way the bewildered man Thought
they should, and so were plainly out of
kilter.
These stories, though individually unre-
liable, bear witness to general truth. The
fact is, that it is the easiest thing in the
world under certain circumstances to be-

no one is exempt from this falling

out of ten there comes a night when they
do not turn up at camp.
Then there is rejoicing among those who
have borne their arrogance, for it is the
turn of these to crow, and they who laugh

Mind Reading for Rows.

Harold Morse's father belongs to soci-
ETY. for "psychical research" and the child
has heard a good deal of conversation on
the subject of mind reading. His mother
is afraid he thinks and understands too
much for child of his years"
His father, however, is not at all
alarmed, and few days ago repeated to
Mrs. Morse a remark of Harold's in his

tainly well calculated to allay her fears.

Lettuce Matured bv Electricitv.

Among the bulletins of the agricultural
experiment station of Cornell university is
one that gives very interesting account
of some experiments made on plants with
q view Of determining the influence of the
electric light upon their growth To that
end greenhouse was divided into two
equal parts by tight board partition. On
one side the plants are left to the ordinary
conditions of growth, but on the other
side the vegetation was treated to the sun
light by day and to the electric light by
night.
The results of these experiments showed
that the use of the electric light at night
hastened the maturity of the plants, and
the nearer they grew to the light the
greater was the acceleration. Lettuce thus
treated was sold two weeks earlier than
its neighbors on the other side of the parti-
tion, although both were planted at the
same time. Equally successful results
were obtained with other vegetables

Toward nightfall, as the light grows
scarce and dim, the pupil of the eye in
creases to its greatest size so as to catch
and absorb all the rays it possibly can.
Thus cats eye will grow large at dusk,
and those of the night loving owl are so
made as to produce greater conveyance
of the rays Of light, so that in faint light
1t can distinguish objects closer. 1t is as
great mistake to suppose that cats can
see in the dark, where no light is, as it is
to suppose that under the influence of pas
sion or excitement mans eyes have the
power Of emitting light. 1t is impossible,
as has been proved beyound doubt by
many experiments in utter darkness. True,
cats eyes have wonderful brilliancy,
but that is due to carpet of glittering
fibers" called the tapetum.
1t may be to some extent in virtue Of
this glitter that they possess their alleged
power Of fascinating small birds and other
creatures, though we certainly need not
suppose that the terror and inability to
move evinced by the victim are due to the
power Of the eye alone. Fear of the ap-
preaching monster, which instinct tells
them is hostile to their life, is fully as para
lying as any eyeglitter. Jour

what sIakes the swelllng2


Opinions have differed as to the cause of
the swelling and pain resulting from
gnat or mosquito bite. Some have main
tanned, in accordance with what has always
been the popular belief, that effects of such
magnitude could not be produced without
the introduction of poisonous fluid,
though they have failed to show that any
apparatus exists which would be capable
of completely fulfilling such function.
Though this poisonous fluid is itself con-
jectural, purpose has been assigned to it,
namely, that of rendering the blood more
liquid, so that it may the more easily be
sucked up. And that some such function
would have to be assumed is tolerably GER
tain, since the poison could hardly be re-
garded merely as an implement of offense,
and consequently an advantage to its pos
sesser.
1t seems scarcely open to question that,
apart from some such function for the
poison as above, the insects could far more
easily obtain the blood they covet and far
less precautions would be taken against
them if theysdid not produce any painful
results and thus rouse the hostility of their
'iNui''S' ohN Vudu, GutItlOEG, lTOn UldU
point of view, poison could not be an ad-
vantage. If, therefore, a poison exists, its
function must undoubtedly be to facilitate
the drawing of the blood and not to serve
as weapon.
Influenced by the anatomical difficulties
above mentioned, other observers have
maintained that no poisonous fluid is in
jected buS that the laceration of tissnes
produced by the six minute, acutely point
ed and in some cases barbed organs which
constitute the borer is sufficient to account
for the Inflammation and itching This
hypothesis, again, is not without objection.
1t would appear that the insect sometimes
experiences difficulty in getting at the
blood it desires, for deep perforations of
the skin may be made without drawing
blood, and then no swelling occurs and lit
tie pain is felt This certainly appears
formidable difficulty in the way of the lat
ter explanation. on.-Knowleage.

Gleason requested that he put in against
st. Louis on Thursday in order to get re-
venge upon Won der Abe. The Browns
promptly knocked the Baltimore pitcher
ont of the box, and Gleason's revenge is
postponed for time.
Manager Cahill received word last even
ing from Secretary Belts, who is in New
York, that Fielder Smith of the Louis
villea, has accepted Scranton's terms and
will report here for duty tomorrow. Hess,
late Of Wilkes. Barre, has not yet been
signed, but may be today.
Foutz expects his Brooklyn team to do
much better work from now on. for in
Kennedy, Stein, Lucid and Daub he has
four pitchers who ought to give n good
account of themselves. The Brooklyn team
is good batting one, and with closer at
tentions to team work and little better
base running Foutz's men should have
nothing to fear from any team from the
west.
The fight the Baltimore club is making
for the pennant Of tho National league

fights in the history of base ball, and shows

This is the first season those men have

are now, when the stretch has been
reached. in the front ranks and setting a
faster pace than ever. They have dis
posed of the ott-repeated assertion that
they would weaken when the pace got hot

While it would be a violent surprise to
have the Orioles win the flag, still it can
not be denied that they are dangerous
