False Messiahs,

The defense of different persons
claiming to be the Messiah has cost
the Jews great expense, both in
treasure and human life. One Of
these, Coziba, who lived in the sec
ond century Of our era, put himself
at the head of the Jewish nation as
their Messiah, and many of that PEG
pie adhered to and defended him.
The Romans made war upon Coziba
and his followers, and, according to
admissions made by eminent Jewish
authority, they lost somewhere be-
tween 500, 900 and 600, 0J0 men in his
defense. The last of these impostors
was Mordecai, German, who first
claimed to be of divine origin in the
year 1852. When the authorities
threatened to punish him as an i'm
poster, he fed, and his end is not
known. st. Louis Republic.

A Hardy Magnolia.

On account of early Towering and
sweet odor the Magnolia conspicua is
one of the most popular of all mag
nolias. In England it doesn't seem
to thrive as well as in America, the
summers of that region not seeming
to be sufficient to properly ripen its
wood Even in comparatively mild
climates, they have to plant against
high walls or buildings in order to
get the additional summer heat for
this purpose. Foreigners are there
fore surprised when they come to
America and find trees so or go feet
high covered with thousands of its
large, white, cuplike blossoms. 1t is
one of the earliest to bloom. coming
out before the winter is scarcely over.
In fact, not unfrequently blossoms
are destroyed by late frosts. AL
though tree, it has the advantage
of Towering quite young-2 or year
old plants frequently bearing one or
two blossoms Some people object
to having a tree covered with bloom
without any leaves and criticise it as
unnatural, but for all this it is gem
orally popular in spite Of these criti-
cisms. -Meehan's Monthly.

Edltor Dana Shore on wheat.

ANY great fall Of the price Of wheat
is no longer possible, as the consump-
ton increases faster than the produc-
ton +"
The above remark was made by Mr..
Charles A. Dana, the editor Of The Sun,
when interviewed in Paris. Mr.. Dana
may be correct in stating that ANY
great fall in the price Of wheat is no
longer possible, 4 because farmers have
seen the price Of wheat tumble down to
bedrock since the election of a Demo-
cratic administration, which was aided
and abetted by The Sun.
Mr.. Dana is wrong however, in stat
ing that ''the consumption increases
faster than the production. F" There was
surplus of wheat stocks throughout
the world larger by SO, 000 600 bushels
July /, 1894, than on the same date two
years ago, larger by SIS, 600, 900 bushels
than three years ago, larger by so, 600. !.
600 bushels than four years ago and
larger by SO, 900, 900 bushels than five

be led away by wheat statistical theo-
rists. He should study facts,

Marsh Cup water Plant.

The plant that / found i'll the Hud-
son bay region which is most worthy
of notice grows in the messy mus
kegs, in places where there is little
or no grass. 1t is remarkable for
two reascns-the beauty of its flower
and its water containing properties.
The leaves, which grow fat upon the
ground, are broad and green. The
bell of the flower seems adapted as a
natural reservoir for water, of which,
from a large one, there can easily be
obtained as much as an Egyptian
coffee cup will hold. But the beauty
of it was that in the early autumn,
when the nights were frosty, but the
heat still excessive by day, the water
it contained was always iced, for
these charming flower bells are evil
IDENTIFY constructed to resist frost,
and as they close in toward the top
they protect from the rays of the
sun the lump of clear ice formed
within the calyx at night
The result of this was that often,
when toiling along at midday, hot
and weary, through a stagnant
swamp, all had to do to slake my
thirst was to pluck few of these
miraculous flowers to obtain SO many
small cups full of delicious water,
each with a little lump Of ice float
ing ON the top Blackwood's Maya

FOSSIL BOTANY IN Pennsylvania.
One Hundred and Fifty Specimens Of Plant
Deposit Found Under Coal.

DepoSht IOuuu uucI NuAts
Underneath the great bed of can
mel coal three miles below Darling
ton, making the floor of the coal
mentioned, is one of the most varied
paleobotanical deposits known to sci
ence. No other single locality in
this or any other country has ever
contributed such a collection and
such variety of the preglacial, or,
it may be said, the carboniferous, boz
tanscal flora as has come from this
coal door.
The material in which these re-
markable fossil imprints occur is a
dark, sandy shale, and to say that
the stratum is filled with plant re-
mains is giving the fact only mild
expression. The richness and rare
ness of this plant deposit will be un-
derstood when it is stated that more
than $50 varieties of specimens have
been found, some entirely new to
science and such as have never been
found elsewhere, and all this on an
area of only from two to three feet
in thickness, from which the supera-
bundance of this early fora may at
once be inferred. The first vegeta-
BILE form that is undeniably that of
a mushroom was here discovered,
and so anomalous was this to the as
ISOLATED formations that it was made
the subject of paper read before
the American Philosophical society.
This remarkable locality is not con-
tent only in vying with the world in
the richness and rareness of botanic
al finds, but crustacean of rare
type is also in the collection from
these shales. This is a form allied
to eurvpterus, and in honor to l. f.
Mansfield, the owner and enthusiastic
and indefatigable collector of these
specimens, the new fossil creature
has been called Dolichopterus mans
fieldi. A matter of scientific interest
as related to this shale is the fact that
the material that entered into this
camel coal formation was not pro-
duced from the bed on which itrests,
the myriads of plant specimens af-
fording an abundance of negative tes-
timony. DR.. Newberry, former
Ohio state geologist, has suggested
that the camel coal owes its origin
probably to the drifting of a carbon
ferrous mud into some quiet lagoon.
Probably a quiet settling of sedi-
mentary matter would better express
the process, for it must have had a
most quiescent action that SO evenly
and gently pressed down the delicate
plant life so as to preserve all the fine
minute in the imprint. This Oar
lington district will become botan.
ical Mecca for students of paleobo
tanical science. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

WLKEsBARRE, Penn Sept. @6.-On
the Lehigh Valley Railroad just out
side of the city limits, this morning a
local freight train was going at the
rate Of twenty miles an hour when one
of the driving shafts on the engine
broke and the engine was thrown over
against a train passing on another
track. The engine was demolished and
many cars were piled up, blocking the
road for a long distance. From under
the wreck was taken the maDgled body
of Frank German, of Wilkesbarre,
with his skull crushed to a pulp. He
was not a train hand, but it is supposed
he was stealing a ride to Pittston. Fire
man Miley Reade, was fatally hurt.
Engineer Frank Weaver saved his life
by leaping from his engine before the
crash came.
