Tho invisible Armada.

The invincible armada was famous
naval expedition sent by Philip II Of
Spain against England in 1888. II con-
sisted Of 1870 vessels, 3, 480 great guns,
4,675 quintals Of powder, nearly 20, 900
soldiers, above 5000 sailors and more
than 2, 900 volunteers It arrived in the
English channel on July 10 and was de-
feated the next day by Admiral How
ard, who was seconded by Drake, Haw-
kins and Frobisher. Eight fire ships
having been sent into the Spanish feet,
they bore of in great disorder. Profiting
by the panic, the English fell upon them
and captured or destroyed number OF
their ships, and Admiral Howard main
tanned q running fight from July 81 to
July ~, with such effect that the Span
ish commander, despairing Of Success,
resolved to return home, and as escape
through the English channel was pre-
vented by contrary winds he undertook
to sail around the Orkneys, but the ves-
sells which still remained to him were
dispersed by storms or shipwrecked
among the rocks and shadows on differ
emit parts Of the Scottish and Irish coast,
and upward Of 5000 men were drown
cd, killed or taken prisoners. OF the
whole armada SO ships only returned to
Spain, and these in wretched condi-
ton. The English lost but one ship

FROM CosMoPOLIS,

The town hall was crowded with men,
beers OF the A. O. U. w., their families
and friends, last Saturday night, who
had gathered there to listen to a lecture
by Mr.. j. H. Schively, Of Fairhaven, the
distinguished lecturer of the order for
this jurisdiction. Owing to the train be.
ing late, the speaker did not arrive
until about 9 o'clock, but the time was
occupied and the audience pleasantly
entertained by the Cosmopolis cornet
band. Mr.. Schively, accompanied by
Grand Recorder Pickens, appeared On
the platform a few minutes after o'clock
and was greeted with cheers from the
three hundred. people present. From
that time until after 10 o'clock the audi

deliver one Of the most eloquent and in
teresting lectures that was ever their for
tune to hear, giving brief history OF the
Ancient Order of United Workmen, it's

advantages and benefits to be derived
from being q member. The Grand Lodge
officers were very fortunate in securing
the services OF Mr.. Schively, as he is do
ing much good for the order.
On Sunday Mr.. Schively, accompanied
by L. B. Minis of this place, went to the
beach, and on Monday left for his home
in Fairhaven.

She Now Declares That Lawyers Como
Under the Head Of Nuisances.
A few evenings ago lawyer living
in West Philadelphia was visited at his
residence by an indignant woman, who
declared that she had come for legal adj
vice, and in businesslike manner de-
posted on his table IS note as re-
tanning fee. After pocketing the money
the man Of law politely requested her
to proceed with her statement. She said
she was continually afflicted with q Sc
ries Of nuisances which she desired the
lawyer to have abolished.
She was annoyed by a neighbor on
one side, she said, who is music teach
or and trainer Of tho voice. The con-
slant humping on the piano and the
discordant notes of the vocal students
made her very nervous. On the other
side the neighbor kept chickens, which
awoke her early in the morning by their

day by flying over the fence and invad-
ing her premises. Day and night she
was made nervous by the noise Of the
trolley cars passing her door, organ
grinders and peddlers made her life mis-
cradle, hucksters added to her misery
by calling their wares, and she wanted
to know what action she must take in
order to be made free Of such nuisances.
The lawyer reflected few moments
with compressed brow, and then said,
Madam, you are decidedly unfortu-

BACTERIA AND COLORS.



Although investigation has not been
idle, experimentcrs have not been Who'll
ly agreed as to the exact property or
field of the suns rays which is most eff
ficient in action OH bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor Fl. Marshall Ward, to whom
the thought occurred in the course Of
his work that the most direct answer to
the question, Which rays are the most
effective ones? might be best obtained
by shining tho solar spectrum directly
upon the film Of spores, and making it
record the effects by their subsequent
behavior, according as tho different
groups Of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining a photograph Of the
spectrum i'll living and dead bacteria.
The results showed conclusively that
the rays that kill the bacteria are the
blue and violet ones. An observation
was made during tho investigation
which may go far to account for the I'M
satisfactory character Of the determine
tons of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
was the great weakening Of the inten-
sity Of the dispersed rays of tho beam Of
light decomposed to form the spectrum,
Il weakening caused by the distribu-
ton Of the incidence of the rays over
larger area and by their absorption and
reflection in passing through the lenses
and prisms.
1t was found also, in working with
the electric light, that tho power Of the
blue and violet rays was further i'm
paired-in other words, that they were
stopped-by the material (glass) through
which they had to pass.
The effect Of the glass was practically
the same as that of mist or haze in the
atmosphere, which 80 filters out the
blue violet rays that the light of dull
day was Of little effect in the authors
experiments.
These difficulties were overcome by
using quartz instead Of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays to kill the spores in
few hours. The author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the sum-
mer with solar rays, even with glass
lenses, mirrors, etc., and exposures Of
five Or six hours, but in winter tho ex-
posures required to be so long as to be
almost impracticable- Popular Science

QUEER LANGUAGE.


The Champion Tongue" Of Wild but In
o6enslve Race.
One Of the Queerest languages in the
world, used for the queerest purposes,
is the "camphor language" Of Johore,
country Of the Malay peninsula. It has
lately been studied and reported upon
by Mr.. Lake, an English engineer in
the service Of the sultan Of Johore. This
language is called the "Pantang Ka-
por," or camphor language, and is used
BY the natives and all others who are
engaged In gathering the product Of the
Malayan oamphor tree and only at that
time. II they used either Of the Ian
guages Of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakun, the natives believe
that they could not obtain any camphor,
and for most curious reason. The cam
phor tree, Dryoblanops camphora, grows
abundantly in certain parts Of the Pc
ninsula, but only occasionally contains
camphor crystals. The oamphor is not
the same as that obtained from the cam
phor laurel Of Formosa and Japan,
which is the source Of the ordinary CAM
phor Of commerce. It is q sort very
highly priced by the Chinese in the en-
balming Of their dead, In incense and in
medicine, and the gum brings much
more than the common camphor.
The Malayans and other Johore ma
tives believe that each species Of tree
has a spirit or divinity that presides
over its affairs. The spirit Of the CAM
phor tree is known by the name Of BIZ
san-literally "a woman" Her resting
place is near the trees, and when at
night peculiar noise is heard in the
woods, resembling that Of cicada, the
Bisan is believed to be singing, and
camphor will surely be found in the
neighborhood But the spirit Of the CAM
phor tree seems to be jealous Of the pre-
cious gum and must be propitiated, and
II she knows that hunters are in quest
Of It she will endeavor to turn their
steps aside. So it is necessary to speak
in tongue which she does not under
stand For this purpose the "camphor
language" has been invented. It con-
sists Of o mixture Of Jakun and Malay
words, but these are curiously altered
and reversed, and the natives positively
believe that the divinity Of the camphor
tree is completely confused. The Jakuns
who hunt the camphor are one Of the
widest Of people, but inoffensive. They
live together with monkeys, dogs, cats,
innumerable fowls and perhaps tame
hornbill in perfect harmony under NOV
able leaf shelters built ON poles in the
woods. Boston Traveller.

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
It Was Built by Oliver Evans. Who Couldn't
Lay Up Money.

Lay Up money
The real inventor Of the locomotive
never realized cent from his invention.
His name was Oliver Evans He was
born in Delaware in 1866 and spent all
his life perfecting inventions which
were destined to bring him nothing but
more poverty. He was the original in
ventor Of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage in this form
Of transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea.
His application Of the notion to both
land and water power was somewhat
novel.
In 1904 the municipality Of Philadel-
phia called for bids for the dredging Of
the river and the cleaning of the docks.
Evans put in bid lower than any Of
his competitors, and when it was &c
cepted determined to build q steamboat
to do the work.
He fitted out scow with steam en-
CINE, building both the engine and tho
scow in his own workshop.
When the boat was ready to be launch
ed, Evans determined to give the peo-
pie Of Philadelphia an object lesson in
mechanics, SO he put the boat on wheels,
fitted up a push wheel behind, set his
engine to work and propelled the boat
through the streets to the river in tho
midst Of an open mouthed throng, not a
few Of whom had dim idea that he
ought to be arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank Of
the river, the wheels and axles were TAX
en- off, the craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and made to do
the work Of dredging the harbor.
So far as the invention Of mechanical
devices went, Evans had splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents came
up for consideration he was a mere
child, and even allowed himself to DO
cheated out Of the money that was due
him for cleaning the Philadelphia har-
Dor with his new tangled steamboat
