MR.. FISKE'S LECTURE ON THOMAS
JEFFERSON.

Language is rarely used to better pur-
pose than in the clean-cut, ncisive SELL
tences of John Fiske. The great men of
the times when large men were needed,
stand out on his canvas like granite
mountains against winter sky. The
men who interest him most, are not the
men who talk everything down. but the
men who have accomplished something.
The splendid work OF Jefferson, as the
leader aud organizer OF great political
party; his views on slavery; his attempt
to secure the prohibition of slavery i'll
the national domain the partial victory
of this principle in 1887; how the alien
and sedition laws and the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions brought both Amer
lean parties close upon pcriIous extremes; /;
the Importance of Jyherson's election to
the presidency, and with it the transfer
of the government from one party to the
other rapid absorption OF sundry Fed
eralist principles by the Republicans, and
how the benefcent character OF this
change was largely due to Jefferson scon-
s,rvative and flexible temper, will be
treated at length in Mr. Fiskc's next lee
ture, Tuesday evening, Oct. Is, at 8
o'clock.

4 BURGL Y.

On Monday night successful attempt
was made to burgIarize the variety store
of George +. Grow on Eastern Avenue.
After attempting to force open the door
by prving with a crow-bar or some sim
liar instrument, sheet of heavy wrap.
ping paper was covered with glue and
placed upon pane of glass in one of the
show windows. A stone WAS thrown
through, while the broken bits of glass
clung to the paper, thus preventing any
jingle of glass to attract the attention Of
neighboring persons Six revolvers were
secured by reaching through the break.
Nothing else was missed from the store.
Mr.. G ow was in Boston at the time of
the burglary.

Broken Hearts.

We often hear of broken hearts, and
usually with smile of incredulity, as
though such thing were not possible.
Medical science has discovered that a
literally broken heart is by no means
as uncommon as one might fancy. A
physician was recently called to pa
tient, lady of middle age, who had ex-
perienced severe shock. He found her
dead, and as there was some discussion
as to the cause of death. an autopsy was
held, revealing the fact that the heart
had buret at one side. Heart failure as
a cause Of death is about as satisfac-
tory as to say lone dies for lack of
BREATH" heart failure being merely a
result of clearly defined conditions.
Broken hearts can easily be brought
about by a diet of sweetmeats, with a
free use of fermented liquors. These
weaken the tissues of the heart, and
pave the way for sudden dissolution.
1t has been supposed that fatty degen-
Grafton of the heart was an incurable
disease, but this is another popular er-
ror, as such conditions are positively
durable by a suitable diet and proper
medical treatment.

Cutting Hair by Electricity.

An electric hair cutter is new in
invention. 1t consists of comb, over
the teeth of which is stretched plat
mum WIRE A switch over the handle of
the comb is so arranged that the bar
Der can throw a current of electricity
through the teeth, raising the tempera-
ture to a bright heat. The comb is then
passed through the hair, which it burns
off. It is said that the hair is benefited
by this process, much more so than
when cut by scissors. as by the latter
method the hair bleeds and loses GER
tain amount of it's vitality. 1t is nota-
Bile fact that the cutting in this way is
much more even, and, as the heat does
not get into fame, there is no danger
of setting the hair on fire, as was often
done when a torch or taper was used.

The Katydid Orchestra.

An article in a recent number Of
Science on the katydid orchestra is ex-
tremely interesting. The writer states
that this is one instances in nature Of
concerted and continued efforts at har-
mony. The katydids keep time. and are
the only members Of the insect king
dom that do this on any extended
scale. He says: so soon as the sun has
set and twilight is advancing the katy

first notes are scattered, awkward and
without rhythm: but, If no wind IS

Contagious Diseases Of Insects.

1t is we'll authenticated fact that
at certain seasons of the year the COM
mon house fly becomes the prey Of a
parasite that speedily saps it's vitality
and ends its little days. An article in a
scientific publication says: "a disease
mas been found among a lot of squash
bugs brought into the laboratory for
experimental uses. 1t has been clearly
shown that this disease is due to mo-
tile bacillus larger than B. insectorum
Burrill, and of different form, prefer
ably aerobic in habit, but capable
nevertheless of growing beneath the
surface of agar, where the colonies are
commonly oval or fusiform. 1t spreads
over the solid medium freely as a rath-
er thickish film of radiate. lichenose
structure and broadly lobate margin.
1t multiplies very freely in the blood of
insects. doubtless producing there a
toxic substance which kills the host,
days Of the first infection. This inter-
probation Of it's action is based on the
promptly fatal effect produced on small
insects by a watery infusion of agar
cultures Of this bacillus. Young chinch
bugs perish in such an infusion in less
than minute, and adults in two or
three minutes, while mediumsized cat
erpil!ars dipped into it for ten seconds
have begun to writhe and roll in evil
dent distress within two minutes, dy-
ing within five or six. Chinch bugs are
readily infected by simple exposure to
squash bugs dead with this disease and
die under this infection more promptly,
more rapidly and in larger proportion
than if exposed to incubation with
sporotrichum."

New Variety of Corn.

Farmers are likely to find remuner-
alive corn in the new Peruvian Corn
samples of which have been procured
and are to be tried at the experimental
stations. It is believed that it may be
acclimated here, and that as the grains
are four or five times the size of those
of the ordinary maize. its value is evil
dent. 1t is entirely distinct from any
species known in this country, and is
called zea-amylacea. This corn contains
an extraordinary amount of starch and
an unusual percentage OF sugar is
found in one of the ten new varieties
that are known to exist.

The invention consists of a series of
elliptical steel springs set at right
angles to the rim and riveted to it. A
steel band passes round the outer cir
conference of the tire thus formed,
which is in turn riveted to the springs,
forming a strong, resilient and quick"
tire. 1t may be covered with rubber to
keep out dirt and water. 1t is said that
several American firms have entered
into negotiations for the use of this
tire.

An Unsettled Settlement

After we had gone to press last We'd
nesday morning, about twelve or fif-
teen resident taxpayers of the city and
adjoining country went Ill q body be-
fore the board of county commission
eTs to protest against the action of the
board IN relieving Day, burst and Cook
from liability of line and costs lately
imposed on them by the district court.
and asked that the order be rescinded.
Owing TO the absence of Mr.. Sample,
the defendants attorney, the board
did not feel justified in taking any
steps toward resembling the order, an
account of which we published last
week. but set Monday, June II, to hear
both sides of the case. 1t seems that
there is legal question involved In
this affair and upon examination of
the statutes it is found to be doubtful
as to the boards power of making n
compromise iii such cases without a
petition duly drawn and properly sign
ed. AT the time the order was made
County Attorney Beals gave it as his
oplon that the statute was unconstitu
tional as did also Mr.. Sample, basing
their arguments on recent decisions by
inferior courts. Not being confident.
however. of the legality of the boards
action, Mr.. Beals wrote letter of in
formation TO the attorney general to
which he has not yet received a reply.
Should 1T turn out that the attorney
general renders an adverse opinion TO
that of Messrs. Sample and 3eals, the
matter will be left in rather complex
ed condition. These men have paid
IN their quota Of costs as provided for
by the board Of c0urty commissioners

board is void and of no force provided

result is hard to foretell in the light of
all these circumstances. One thing is
certain, l. Q. John Wyer feels better
than the other two members of the
board.
