None Left the Ranks.

During the revolutionary war the troops
under Col. McLane's command were suf-
fering for provisions and clothing, and
Congress had been repeatedly petitioned
for that relief which was not in its power
to bestow. Under these circumstances
Col. McLane paraded his band of suffer
ing soldiers, who were about going into
winter quarters at Valley Forge. and adj
dressed them as follows: Fellow sol
diers, you have served your country faith
fully and truly. We have fought hard
fights together against a hard enemy.
You are in bad way for comfortable
clothes. and it almost makes me cry to
see you tracking your half-frozen, bloody
feet on the cold ground. But Congress
can't help it. ror can /. Now, if any
of you want to return home. to leave the
army at such q time as this. you can go.
Let those who would like to go step out
four PAGES in front. But-the first man
who steps out--if I don't shoot him, my
name is not McLane!' 1t is needless to
add that not q single volunteer for
home" was to be found in the ranks.-San

Effects of Light on Color.

''There is no phenomenon Of nature that
escapes the investigating eye of SCIENCE"
said Prof. T. D. Talbot of Cincinnati.
"A short time ago I met party of sci
entists who had been experimenting with
founders in order to determine whether
the whteness of the under sides of those
fish is due to the exclusion of light, and the
presence of color on their upper sides to
exposure to light. They kept the fish eX-
perimented upon living in a large glass
tank, having a mirror placed beneath so
as to reflect light upon the under sides
Of the fish. One of these prisoners sur
vived nearly three years, and all of them
exhibited the development of spots of
pigment on their lower surfaces. The
experimenters came to the conclusion
that it is exposure to light that causes
the coloration of the upper part of the
bodies, not only of founders, but of other
fish, and that it is to the comparative alb
sence of light that the whiteness of the
under sides of fish is due. They extend
the same principle to explain the colorless
condition of many animals that pass all
their lives in caves.

Praise for the Telephone Girl.

The telephone girl is not so bad as she
is painted. Indeed, oftentimes she is not
bad at all: and where she is, three times
out of four she is made so by the general
depra witty of the '"all sorts and conditions
of men''-not forgetting women-wi.h
whom she has to deal, who look upon the
hello girl, not as a human being, but as
a public target at which they may con-
veniently discharge their impotence. veN-
alton and wrath over all the affairs of
daily life that gang agley." The won
der of it is not that there are so many
cross and unaccommodatng girls. but that
there are so many patient. obliging and
sweet-voiced girls who make our connec-
tions for us in the exchange. No man
ought to allow himself to become cynic
after hearing some of the sweet voices OF
the hello girls. A girl who can stay in a
telephone exchange and preserve sweet
voice is living and conclusive proof that
the salt of the earth has not yet lost its

Cameron has decided TO run his whiskers

will stand on their own platform. The
general has no use for modern political

picture of the general and one of the

coat with brass buttons and a coilarless
shirt Jerry Simpsons sockless campaign

4 MARQUIS IN JAIL.
He Had Murdered His Stepson in Ma
pies Six Years AGO.


From time to time the Partisan news
papers contain advertisements to the eff
feet that noblemen Of ancient lineage and
authentic title are prepared, for consid-
GRAFTON, to marry wealthy heiresSes OF
plebeian birth who either by reason of
deformity or accidents experience diff
Guilty in finding husband. 1t was an
advertisement Of this kind that led the
Marquis de Nayye TO place his hand and
his name at the disposal of the daughter
OF an enormously wealthy manufacturer
and legally recognize as his own the little
boy to whom she had given birth a year
before her marriage, the result Of her be-
travail by Il gardener.
The marquis was Well known IN the
American colony in Paris in those days
as an heiress hunter. He belonged to
most of the leading clubs, including the
Jockey, and had squandered two for
tunes in succession on the turf and at
the card-table. After his marriage the
marquis established himself at the Cha
teau de Presles, and, thanks to his
wealth and to his name, soon blossomed
forth into one of the most influential
magnates Of the district, filling among
other offices that of mayor of Sidiailles.
1t would appear that the marquis dlscov-
cred that his wife was Infinitely fonder
of her son than Of himself, and that she

to bequeath to the lad the major part OF
her fortune, leaving the marquis with a
mere pittance.
Keeping this knowledge to himself, he
started off with his stepson for tour OF
Italy, and reached Naples. While walk
ing along the seashore there on the out
skirts of the city his stepson disappeared,
the corpse being found five days later
floating in the water with a poniard-
wound in the back, but with no document
Or clue to his identity. The marquis left
Naples Immediately without notifying
any of the authorities. and on his return
home explained the lads disappearance
on the plea that he had committed sui
eide, which, owing to the taciturn and
peculiar disposition of the boy, did not
sound SO improbable.
This took place six years ago. A fort
night back the marquis, on returning
home from a trip in Switzerland, was ar
rested at the railroad station by the
gendarmes, marched in handouts to the
neighboring town and there imprisoned
on Il charge of having murdered the boy.
The case bids fair to develop into Il
cause celebre, and it's details promise to
prove as sensational as those of any OF
Gaboriau's stories.-Philadelph Press.

Engraving with Dynamite.

One of the experiments made by those
whose business is to test the strength of
dynamite, gun cotton and other explosives
is to place fresh plucked leaves between
two plates of panel steel and explode
cartridges on the upper plate. The recoil
in such cases is so great and sudden that
the upper plate is driven downward with
such force and rapidity as to catch exact
impressions of the leaves before their
delicate ribs have time to give way to the
force of the blow. This novel method of
engraving is one of the wonders of the
century.-St. Louis Republic

LADY RosEBERY's NECKLACE
Some years ago an old Frenchwoman
died in poor part of Dublin, and ler
little effects were put up for auction.
Among other odds and ends was a
necklace of dirty-looking green stones,
which did not attract much attention.
However, a shrewd pair Of Jews
thought there might be money in it, 7"
and decided on purchasing, clubbing
together .e5 for the purpose. On TAX
ing it to q well-known jeweler he
promptly offered .e1500, which sum
they at once Indignantly refused with
hands upraised in righteous horror,
aud sold the necklace (of purest EN-,
eralds) for e7O0O in London, where
Lord Rosebery on his marriage pur-
chsed it for something like 100000
The old Frenchwoman's mother had
been attached to the Court of France,
and the emeralds had once formed part
