cealed for the present under the ficti-

ing to get something to eat. The crush
was enormous, the walters were flying

Grant Prepared For ANYTHING.

II notice that Nicola Tesla, the great
electrician, says in The Century that he
does not think it utterly impracticable
to telegraph through the air without the
use of wires, observed General B. r.
Cowen. But he is not the first to think
so by any means. During Grants ad
ministration a bill passed congress char
tering company which proposed to tel
egraph from place to place through air
strata. | carried the bill to the presi-
dent for his signature, and it being
part of my business to tell him the ma
ture of all bills, as handed them to
him, said as laid this one on his desk :
Mr.. President, here is bill providing
for system of telegraphing through the
air without wires. He looked up, half
smiling and puzzled, as if he thought l
was attempting to be funny, but re-
peated the statement, and he, without
reading the bill, signed it, saying as he
did so, We'll. it won't do to doubt any

The Eggs a Grasshopper Lays.

How many eggs does grasshopper layt
Mohammed, according to the Caliph Omar,
said, when these insects fell upon him,
that he could read upon their wings the
words; we are the legions Of God, and
we bear 80 eggs. When we produce hun
dred, we shall devour the world" In a
paper read before the Paris Academy of
Sciences, M. Kunckel d Herculai says that
Mohammed was wrong in supposing that
the locust laid exactly 80 eggs at time,
although he was quite right in attributing
to it extraordinary fecundity. M. Kunckei
finds that one of these insects will lay as
many as from 500 to 900 eggs during u
season of from 10 to IL months. He points
out that If the French government wish to
get rid OF the locust plague 1t is particu-
larly advisable to kill the insects just be-
fore the season when their eggs are laid.

"It ought to be healthy water" the
landlord softly made reply, peering crit
ically into the pitcher; lit was drawn

sued the butter got down from the table
