The Color of Animals.

There is a connection between the
color and character Of animals. Al
though much of the subject is yelled in
considerable obscurity, as general rule
it may be stated that vivid, conspicu-
Gus coloring accompanies strength, cour-
age and often ferocity. The black or red
hair and the ruddy skin indicate carbon
or iron somewhat in excess, a sanguine
temperament, rapidity of thought and
action and courage frequently bordering
ON rashness. In the brute creation it is
rather character that has modified color
in the course of the survival of the fit
test. The timid animal, bird or fish pos
sessing the most neutral cOloring lived
longest and left most offspring and so
gradually the conspicuous members Of
the family were eliminated This neu-
tral coloring as well as color that
changes for protective purposes is the
external characteristic of shyness and
timidity, alertness Of sense, keenness Of
vision and scent and swiftness rather
than strength of limb. Dis

Moths.

DR.. Aldricks Of kentucky is an en-
thusiastic entOnOlOgist. When asked
for some information Oh the subject he
has made a speciality Of, he said: ''To
study the habits Of the moth family you
must live and grow up with them. The
finest varieties fly by night. and it is
with some difficulty that they are cap
tured. The usual way is to go out with
hand net and a pot Of stale beer,
sweetened with quantity of molasses
Or sugar. A dash Of this mixture on
the bark of the tree, whose leaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which lures
them to death AS soon as they light the
net is sprung over them, and later on
they are asphyXiated by being dropped
in an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. l have
a house built especially for their prop
agatiOn and filled with leaves of their
favorite tree. With the caterpillars
crawling to the right and eft of me l
spend many night watching their hab-
its from a rude cot in one corner Of the
building. 1t is quite a profitable busi
ness, besides being unusually instruct
i've. Some Of the largest varieties are
the size of a humming bird, and the
rarest kinds, when properly mounted,
easily bring S25. The Smithsonian in
stitutiOn at Washington before the fire
of several years ago, had one of the
finest chronological collections in the
world. "-Philadelphi Press

MAKE YOUR OWN SNOW.
Its Curious Formation In the Full RAYS of
July sun.

Two solid bodies, one yellow, sulphur,
the other black, carbon, unite under GER
tain circumstances to form a colorless
liquid called sulphide of carbon, which
must be handled with much precaution
on account Of its great explosive prop
erty. The soluble property of sulphide
of carbon renders it valrAle to take
spots off Of garments. II<.tS Odor is
more disagreeable than that of benzine
or turpentine, it has at least the advan-
tage of being dispelled quickly in conse-
quence Of the prompt evaporation Of the
liquid. There is nothilT efIal to it to
take off spots Of paint on clothes. 1t
does not do it, however, without Great
ing great fear in persons who use it for
the first time, for they see on the very
place where, to their great pleasure, the
paint had disappeared a large white
spot, the nature of which is hard for
them to define, and the more they brush
the more unsightly and the larger that
white spot grows. Is then the garment
lost? No, for fortunately after a few
moments the spot melts away never to
more. The sulphide Of carbon in evapo-
rating takes heat from the cloth and
surrounding air, and the result of that
is sudden lowering Of temperature suf-
ficient to freeze the vapOr Of the atmos-
phere.
Without operating on your clothes
you may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill a small vial with
sulphide Of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all flame or heated stove
Then close the bottle with cork stopper
through which you have previously bored
a small hole. In this hole place a piece
of blOtting paper made up into a small
roll. The paper must reach to the bot
tom Of the bottle and about an inch
above the cork. Within 10 minutes you
will see the outside Of this paper cover
ed with snow, the quantity Of which
gradually increases. The liquid has risen
through the pores Of the paper as the oil
OF a lamp through the wick. When it
gets to the open air, it evaporates, md
the water contained in the surrounding
atmosphere, being brought to temper
ature below 30 degrees, has been frozeI.
If you divide the paper outside of the
bottle into several pieces, you obtain
flowers and most charming effects. You
may make the experiment i'll summer
and III the full rays of the sun. The re-
suit Will be obtained then more prompt
ly, evaporation being more abundant

Primitive Names.

The CONSERVATION which some bota-
nists have raised in pressing the duty of
abandoning many universally accepted
plant names and adopting for general
use more primitive ones is spreading to
other departments of learning. 1t is
found that the whole English language
is in the same unfortunate condition as
the language of botany. 1t is proposed
10 abandon thinks, " walks" " lis
tens, - freezes" etc, for ''thinketh, I"
"walketh,' - ''listeneth, ''freezeth, I"
etc., as having a much prior claim to
our regard. -Meehan' Monthly.

Drank AConi,e for Alcohol.

SELMA, Ala, June 10.-This morning
Sid Fowls, David Johnson and Fred
Jones went out for days fishing,
seven miles from the city. They car
ried with them, as they thought, a
demijohn of alcohol. They stopped
at the house of Paul Frazier, who was
the first to sample the contents Of the
demijohn. The old man died in few
minutes. Johnson, the owner of the
demijohn, then gave his supposed
alcohol to his companions, to
show that the old man died from
other causes, but not liking the
taste, they both spat it out. Johnson
then took a big swallow himself and
in ten minutes was dead. 1t now turns
out that the deadly fluid was aconite,
stolen through mistake for alcohol,
from Cawthorne & Coleman's drug
store ia this city.

New YORK. June 8.-Daniel Lane,

10 days for being drunk and dlsorderly.
He is the son of John Lane, who died
on Saturday night. Mr.. Lane was re-
tired merchant, and vas worth about
10000. He lives with his scns-Danlel
and Micheel-apd his daughter. Mrs.

Mr.. Lane had been III for long time,
Daniel was afraid that his brother and
sister would influence their farther to
make a will dlsinheritlng him. Aware
that his father was at death door, the
young man returned home on Saturday
intoxicated, and began, in loud voice,
to recount his claims to consideration at
the hands of his father. The dying man
begged Daniel TO leave the house. Mich.
ael, reminding his brother that the last
sacraments of the Catholic curch had a.
rady been administered to the dying man
added his entreaties to these Of his
father. Daniel, snatching a candlestlck,
dealt Michael blow on the head with it.
The two wrestled, aud two or three
times they almost iell upon the bed in
which their father lay. Michael fn-
ally caught and held his brother until
policeman came. Shortly after he had
been taken away Mr.. Lane died. The
Justice said be would be very glade to
make the sentence more severe if be
could, but as Lanes brother and sister
did not appear, he could not. The prl =
soner admitted the allegations made by
the policeman, but said his people had
been trying to influence bis father
against him, and had provoked him.

Same old Tom Mackey.

WASHINGTON, June lo, 1884.
To the Edito rof The State: The State
in recent issue has an article by Judge
Mackey in reference to himself at the
battle of Gettysburg, which, while
complimentary to me, is erroneous in
many particulars. This article has ap-
peared in several papers and some
friends have written to me to ask if
the account given is accurate. l am
averse to making any public reference
to incidents which occurred on Our bat
tlefelds, but l am unwilling to take
undeserVed credit for any acts of my
own during the war. So am impelled
to say that Judge Mackey IS mistaken
in stating that any such "duel" as he
mentions happened. l was severely
wounded at Gettysburg, and, like many
of my gallant command on that bloody
6eld, I had some personal encounters,
but none such as were described as oc-
curing with the sharpshooter, nor have
1 ever any communication with my
antagonists Of that day.

KIlllpg IN Birmingham.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 14.-After
knocking down eX-Mayor Jeffries, an
aged man, p. Z. Bowman shot and
killed young Eugene Jeffries, the two
affairs occurring only an hour apart in
the Florence hotel here. About p. N.
?. G. Bowman, prominent figure in
politics, was in the Florence hotel bar
drinking, when ex-Mayor Thomas JEFF
fries walked in. Bowman made some
insulting remark; the lie was passed
and Bowman knocked the old man
down. Friends intercepted and the old
man went his way. 1t was an hour
later when Eugene Jeffries, son of
the ex-mayor, whom, it is said, had
heard of the affair, and had expressed
bis intention OF making Bowman apol-
ogze, walked into the bar where he
was still drinking. No sooner had the
boy opened the door than Bowman
pulled a gun and fired killing Jeffries
instantly. Bowman was hurried from
the scene as quickly as possible, aDG
soon a crowd gathered whose threats
were maay, and there was likelihood
of his being lynched if a chance had
offered.

Eeathering His est.

The Atlanta Constitution says that
Coxey is evidently frugal and practi-
cal individual and report has it that he
has made the general business in which
he embarked at Massillon in March
profitable one from a purely financial
point Of view. Some observing labor
reformer in Washington has estimated
that CoXey is 81 600, or more, "ahead of
the hounds" in the job of leading the
ccmmonweslers to the city. He de-
clares that Coxey from the day he left
home has been constantly in receipt of
checks, postal notes and currency from
sympathizers in his movement and
that very little of this money has been
expended on his followers, who have
lived off the country, but has been put
where it would do Coxey individually
the most good. At first Coxey took
special pains to have published the
contributions to his cause with the
amount of their donations, but this
very soon ceased, not because donations
did not arrive, but it was not necessary
from the business side to publish more
than the narrowing details of the
physical sufferings Of his men. NO
one knows except Coxey himself how
much has been donated to the army of
peace. It is asserted that these contrl.
buttons aggregate between $4,000 and
$4,000, OF which not more than one.
third is thought to have been expended
OF the army. This is the trouble al
ways. The leaders of such movements
as Coxey'5 are always looking out for
the main chance and rs long as they
can fool people and fleece them IN the
name of the poor they will do 1t, in
stead Of going to work and earning an
honest living like the rest OF US.
