MYSTERY OF FIRE-FLIES.

Just at present the Kansas fields at
night present a beautiful sight. The
high green corn rustleS in the warm
breezes of the night and the heavens
are tinted with the violet Of starligt.
Over the thick growing vegetation
lightning-bugs by the million CLINT like
chips fallen from the stars. And that
reminds us that the average kanSan
gets to small an amount of profit out

oats may keep US physically strong.
But Kansas nature is full of things.
which we can only eat mentally, but
which can make US spiritually strong.
The lightning-bug, which children
chase, and the older Kansan takes but
little interest in. is worthy Of study.
The phOspherescent CLEAN of the light
ning-bug has use, as everything in
nature has. A writer in the New
York Post in discussing the phenome-
non. says it is not the result of bottled
up light" as 1 have heard the phosphor-
essence Of substances which have been
exposed to the suns rays, such as
luminous paint described. The sub
ject has been under investigation for a
long time, and it would seem that a
Polish scientist has laid his hand very
near the mystery, for mystery indeed
it is 10 see animals showing a glowing
light within their bodies without any
of the usual concomitants Of light. Mr..
RadziszewSki found that three cOndi-
tons are essential to the production 10

ordinary temperatures: I'D That
oxygen should be present; CD that there
should be such q reaction upon the
phosphorescing mixture as is produced
on acids and vegetable coloring matters

that some kind of chemical action
should take place" He also found
that the organic compounds which
could be made to phosphoresece in the
laboratory under these conditions were
nearly all the fixed and ethereal oils

because il is known that in animal It's

bears them proudly. He nurses his
own egotism of proves by nagging
the life out of every stray cat and dog
at hand.
But above and over all he wants
strife. He will get il. He must
sooner or later meet some other boy S
sister, and what q row there will be.
The coming woman will have grown
into strength, reinforced by convictions
of her own capacity. The American
kid, grown to man will be drawn
up for battle His desire for war may
be not as absrreperous as it was in his
youth, but it will be there, and the
issues will be joined. The war will
be on the platform not only. but in the
kitchen and back yard and over the
neighbours fence. II will be acrimon-
ious and prolonged.
We are betting on the kid.

WHY ROSEBERY FELL DOWN.

The general reader even as yet has
Rosebery administration. Nothing
particular seems to have occurred and
the vote of lack Of confidence was not
such in fact. The trouble with the
English lords rule was the impossi-
bility to be a radical and a conserva-
tive both at once. lie could not serve
two masters.
Lord Rosebery calls himself a liberal,
but he is first Of all an aristocrat. De-
scended from ancestors who won their
way to preferment by coddling the
Stuart kings, he secured wealth by
marriage to 4 daughter of the Roth
schilds. He was suspected of aspiring
10 the hand of a Princess of Wales, but
his motherless children probably stood
in the way. He continues, however,
to be a favored associate of the future
king of Great Britain.
Rosebery's unwillingness to attack
the house of lords was manifest as soon
as he entered upon his duties as prime
minister, and was apparent through
out his term Of Office. 1t was also
evident that he acted with insincerity
on the issue Of Irish home rule. The
truth is he is too much of 4 tory to
be safe leader for the liberals. and
too much of liberal to be trusted by
the tories. An English peer of the an
cestry and surroundings of Lord Rose
berry is quite as much ont of place
leading q liberal or home rule party
as a brewer would be leading the pro-
hibitioniStS in this country.
