Mules DeIIrious with Pleasure.

81 saw an odd sight in Luzerno
county," said Eckley b. Coke. ''Six
mules that had for four years hauled
cars in the lower workings of a coal
shaft to and from the foot Of the shaft
had to be brought up, owing to the
flooding of the mine ON account Of fire
The mules in all that time had seen no
light stronger than the flicker of the lit
tie Davy lamps the miners carried. The
sun was in its zenith when they reached
the surface, and the atmosphere was as
clear as crystal.
"The astonished creatures closed their
eyes to shut out the flood of strong
lighS and kept them closed while they
were being driven to pasture lot a
mile distant and turned loose. There
they stood trembling, as if they were
afraid something evil was about to be-
fall them. Presently they half opened
their eyes and peered around in open
mouthed amazement. twas clear they
couldn't understand it.
"When they had become accustomed
to the sunlight, they elevated their
heads and slowly swept their gaze over
culm piles, sky mountains and horizon
again and again. Toward sundown
they broke into chorus of joyous brays,
the like of which was never heard from
mules before.
AFTER quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping
whirling around like teetotums and
rolling ON the sod as if they had gone
mad For four days they spent their
time gazing at the new sights Of field
and sky refusing food and water, not
even nibbling at the grass and not as
much as blinking an eye in sleep. -

Inside of the light suspended ball was
compound permanent magnet with the
north pole pointing downward. Each
marker, which described as somewhat
similar to chessman, was loaded with
piece Of soft iron passing through its
axis. The pieces for as many players as
were present were placed upon the
board. The operator then, according to
his discretion, selected the piece which
he desired to remain till the last. The
signal was given, and the ball was start
ed. OF course the piece left TO the last
was the one selected, and time after
time were his wages of cheating gath
cred in. Nor did the crowd of fools
diminish.
Currents from q few cells of battery
being sent through the electro magnet
energized it, north pole uppermost. The
piece was held rather securely against
the board and even if the light ball
did knock against it the force Of the
blow was not sufficient to dislodge it
from its position. Electrical Review.

A Problem In Wlzardry.

We want to know why persons who
believe in wizards, or, at oil events,
consult wizards, nearly always prefer to
believe In men or women who are Of q
race inferior to their own or in circum-
stances which prove that their occult
powers are Of no use to themselves. The
rule Is not invariable, for there have
been great wizards like Paracelsus, Rog-
er Bacon, Michael Scott or Cagliostro,
who were acknowledged by those who
consulted or feared them to be in all
ways their superiors, but ii is seldom
broken. In all the letters on country su-
perstitions which we have published,
and the much greater number for which
we could find no room, the "wise" man
or woman has always gypsy blood or
some popularity of appearance marking
out him or her unfavorably from their
kind. The wizard of India is usually a
naked savage, while those who resort
to him are civilized beings clothed care
fully in muslin. The reverence Of the
whites for the black Obeah man or
woman in the West Indies is the SUBJ

TELESCOPES.
Points OF Difference Between the Rejecting
and the Refracting instruments.

A very pretty little experiment, which
ing an optical image and by way of cor
ollary illustrates the essential differ
ence between refracting and rejecting
telescopes, may be performed by any
one who possesses a reading glass and n
magnifying hand mirror. In room
that is not too brightly illuminated pin
q sheet OF white paper on the wall oppo-
site to window that by preference
should face the north or away from the
position of the sun. Taking first the
reading glass, hold il between the win
dow and the wall parallel to the sheet
of paper and q foot or more distant from
the latter BY moving il to and fro q
little you will be able to find u distance
corresponding TO the focal length of the
lens, at which picture of the window
is formed on the paper. This picture,
or image, will be upside down because
the rays of light cross at the focus. BY
moving the glass little closer to the
wall you will cause the picture Of the
window to become indistinct, while
beautiful image of the houses, trees or
other objects of the outdoor world be-
yond will be formed upon the paper.
We thus learn that the distance of the
image from the lens varies with tho dis
tance of the object whose image is form
ed. In precisely similar manner an
image is formed at the focus of the oh.
ject glass of a refracting telescope.
Take next your magnifying or con-
cave mirror, and detaching the sheet of
paper from the wall hold it nearly in
front of the mirror between the latter
and the window. When you have ad.
justed the distance to the focal length
Of the mirror, you will see an image of
the window projected on the paper. By
varying the distance as before you will
be able to produce at will pictures Of
nearer or more remote objects 1t is in
this way that images are formed at the
focus of the mirror of a rejecting tele.

Possibilities OF Surgery,

The extent to which the human body
can be mutilated without causing death
is beyond what most people think. OF
course the removal Of the largest limb
is familiar fact but the successive re-
moval Of all the limbs would in most
cases result in nothing worse than in
convenience. In the same way the in
ternal organs may be extirpated. This
is facilitated by their quality. One kid
ney may be removed, and the other will
make up for the loss by doing double
work. One eye may be taken out and
the sight remain practically unimpair-
ed. Large portions of the brain may be
removed with no injury to life or intel.

been cut out and the ends sewed togeth-
or, and their normal action and func-
ton have not been interfered with. ST.

The Natural Death.

The natural death is no utopian
sream. Both longevity and euthanasia
are within the reach of mankind. Not
few have already secured both, while
many more may find them. L have seen
the man. He was old. He had neither
pain, anger nor sorrow. Finally his in
tellect began to lose its power. His am
bition changed to desire for repose.
His ideas Of space, time and duty lin
gered for a moment, then passed away.
Step by step his powers waned Hap
PLY, painlessly, carelessly the moments
flew. The merry sounds of youth at play
and the hum of the busy world only
rocked him gently to sleep. On and on
he passed until his intellect ceased and
consciousness was no more. This is the
true euthanasia. 1t suggests no terror;
it inflicts no pain; it brings no agony.

Marriage In Urban and Rural Regions.

In the north Atlantic division, which
constitutes the principal manufacturing
cection Of the country, a section made
up largely of urban populations, the
single are found in smaller proportion
than in any part of the country and the
married and widowed in larger proper
tions. Conversely the south Atlantic
and south central divisions, which are
almost purely agricultural and rural,
contain the largest proportion of single
persons and the smallest proportion of
the married. These results are directly
opposed to popular belief. 1t is assumed
that the development of urban popula-
ton diminishes the number of the mar
ried. The explanation which naturally
suggests itself is that the larger proper
tion Of marriages in the manufacturing
sections of the country is due not only
to the fact that the native white popu-
lation married young and in large pro-
portion at all ages, but also to the fact
that the foreign whites, who have set
tied in large numbers in the north At
lantic division, were either married or

Jewelry In u Grave.

The largest amount of jewelry known

funeral protested against it, but was

The family had its way and in that
grave is buried fully &c., worth of
diamonds, with which the body was
decked when prepared for burial. Some
times families who desire to bury their
dead in the clothing worn in life-in
evening or wedding dresses, for in
stance--substitute less costly limitations
for the jewelry worn in life, partly
from motives of thrift and partly from
q superstitious fear that anything taken
off body when it is ready for the tomb
will bring i'll luck to future wearers. -

An aged man in town adjoining
Lewiston tells story of the old days
when every minister was not a college
educated man and when churches and
parishes often had no other meeting
house than schoolhouses at the three cor
ners. The congregation of the town
where the story teller lived had been
much shocked upon learning that their
preacher had departed under most dis
creditable circumstances. On the follow
ing Sunday il seemed to be the aim of
nearly every one to hush up the scandal,
and under great restraint many interest
ing conversations were held, merely to
show that the members Of the church
could rise above sensational gossip just
before the services were closed one elder
brother arose and said Brethren and
sisters, since we last met in this house

gloom over this congregation has oc-

and now propose that we offer up
prayer for the wanderer. " A sensational
wave went over the audience, and an

Artificial Petroleum.

1t is not perhaps generally known
that petroleum can now be produced ar
tificially. The process is very simple,
being tho distillation, in strong iron
vessel, under pressure Of 25 atmos-
pheres, of the animal fats and oils at O
temperature of 800 degrees G. Under fa-
vorable conditions 20 per cent of the fat
ty oils are transformed into petroleum,
which is 90 per cent Of the theoretical
yield The product thus obtained has
been found to be in every particular iden-
tical with natural petroleum. 1t is sug-
gsted that, with notifications Of condi-
tions in the process, oils of different
grades may be produced.
It is premature to predict the changes
in the petroleum industry or to say
what bearing this discovery may have.
At present it certainly appears to be Of
little practical Importance, yet it is not
the less an interesting fact, and one per-
haps not to be lost sight Of The dis
covery will doubtlessly be further de-
veloped, and it is not improbable that it
may become Of commercial Importance.
If, as is claimed, 20 per cent of the
animal oil is convertible into good Pc
troleum, it would appear that Degras
oil, which sells at Q cents per gallon,
could profitably be converted into su-
perior grade of petroleum, selling. say,
at 10 cents. 1t would be no more re-
markable than many other transmuta-
tions If at some future time this dis
covery should find an important place
