Or. Borstlefnaa's Surprising Discovery
and the simpie Explanation.

Dr Borstleman was at Lake Dem
mark, \. J., a few days ago studying
the fauna and flora Of that wild and
beautiful section Of Morris county.
While strollinG around rre shallow
shore Of the lake on Sunday evening he
discovered marvellous thing which
made his blood tingIe with hope that he
was about to add to the ichtholoical
knowledge - the country, says New
York sun. lie saw in the clear water
near the sheFe some bright objects fash

tor knew Of hosphorascent fish in salt
water, and VS. aware also that moth

he believed that he had discovered a new
species. and he made haste to get his
nin19Gw net gaa&d capture ons OF the live
" little crea I'd reas. 1t was no easy mat
ter TO DO this, but after trying for an
hour he sucseedGd in catching two OF
the fish in one se@or Of the net De
lighted with his great luck, he hur-
ried TO the house and examined his
prizes by the light Of a kerosene lamp.
They were each two and thr8e-Quarter

but this did not Igter the doctor from
going en- with the examination. He dis
sected one - the fish carefully. and then
removed the lamp fr~ru the room. There
was the phos PAorescent glow upon tbe
card where he had placed the viscera OF
the little fish; moreover. they seemed TO
be imbued with life. Sticking pin
through the center Of the glowing sac
he brought the light back. and opening
the sac disclosed four or five Of the large
fire-flfes which aboand at the mountain

Fire Proof CeIiuioid.

A unique method IS lately described
as introduced in England for manufac-
turing freproof celluloid simply from
the spent fiberS from paper mills. The
process Is sim mpls-thst Is, as described,
the pulp, consisting OF hbers collected
from washing water Of the paper mill
is subjected to the action OF certain
chemicals which reduces II to a gluti-
nous ssa te, and is it then sent through
a centrifugal pump, which gives il an
even Substance, any shade Of color be-
ing impaired to 1t at the same time by
the use OF aniline dyes. After this II
is strained through flannel into square
boxes, in a short time assuming an ar
most solid consistency. In this state
the ceiIuloid can BE cut into slices or
nodded when the composition is in a
liquid condition. The substance thus
formed rs asserted to be perfectly safe.
and II is proposed to make from it
printing surfaces for illustrations. for
stereotyping, and TO utilize it for va
rious purposes as a substitute for other
materials now employed.

WANTED TO BE A MAN.
The Young weman Who Went to Chi
cage "a Mems Clothing.

Miss Hettis Dickey. the young lady
from Delaware VINO recently visited Chi
cago in mems clothing. has told the com
plete story q her adventures. 1t ap-
pears that fer years she has had an
overwhelming desire to be q man. The
impulse te ses the world as a man se-S
1t grew upon her Is such an sxtent that
she finally decided to leave home She
secTeted a salt Of her brothers clothes
in the wooGstsd, and soon after noon
on March a 2he slipped quietly into
the shed and put on masculine attire.
Then she walked calmly cut Of the yard
in front Of her home 10 the road lead
ing to hiamensi station on the Baltt-
more (. Ohio railroad 1t was then
about 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
She followed the tracks three miles
without messiag anyone. Then two
men came in sight, and for fear Of de-
lection, shs turned aside into q field
and made EsE way 10 Newark, where
she took the 3 o'clock train for Balti-
more BY this time her parents were
searching the country for her In the i'm
mediate vicinity Of their home Reach
ing Baltimore, she stopped for aH hour.
Then she bought a ticket to Chicago,
and left on the 7 o'clock train over the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. All the
money she had on leaving home was
$50. She reached Chicago on the night
Of March 20 with s3.48 in tse pocket Of
her trousers. Her original intention
was 70 60 to Denver or San Francisco.
In both Of those places she has relatives.
After her arrival in the Windy City
she was a. = loss to kuo~ where TO lay
her head. she was afraid to 80 TO a
tlodging-h house, SO she concluded to walk
the streets rather than run The risk of
being detected For two nights she
tTamped the sidewalks Of Chicago be-
fore finding place OF shelter. At last
che found a Zig lumber yard near the
lake, and there she spent five nights
among the piles OF lumber What little
food she ate during this time she pur-
chased a cheap restaurants. In AL Of
these she seated herself at tables along
side men. For three nights she occupied
a corner In . box car standing on a side

One Of the employees discovered her and
demanded an explanation Of her pres
enca. She maintained her f0rtitude and
succeeded n escaping arrest. She went
come by exI.aastion, ane fell i'll, and
was removed to the Cook County Hos

CROWDED LONDON.
Figures Gathered by Gen. Booth OF ths
Salvation ArnlY.

Mr.. Booth has checked his former
measurement Of London poverty. He
has previously inquired how the people
lived and worked by one method. Nov
he tries another, and compares the re-
suits. He has divided London into
about ninety trades or groups of trades
and he has also classified the whoe
population by the number Of rooms they
occupy and the number Of servants th-
keep. by this new method he has In
quired what proportion Of London pOpu-
lation So crowded" and mot crowded" :"
Then lie has compared the figures with
those which, by his former methods,
told US the percentage who were in
comfort" and the percentage who were
in poverty The two sets of figures
come cut with what Mr.. Booth calls
Startling Similarity" He made out
before that nearly n per cent Of Lon
don Psople were living in poverty. BY
his new classification he fnds about 81 Il
per cont crowded" D." His 681a per cent
mot crowded compare with a little
over ee per cent declared In former
volumes to be lin comfort" These
similar results, however are only OBJ
tained when London IS taken over its
whole area. Some districts. as Mr.
Booth puts it, are more crowded than
they are psOr, while others are more
peer eAan they are crowded. But the
oaEa sasss measure of London wealth and
pOysFE IS as close a s we could expect
to seS Sfy. Booth fuds that fOur-fifths
OF cur population $50 per cent? live at
six, seven, or even eight in one room A
families without servants II per cent
only have servants, and the remainder
are inmates Of institutions. OF those
without servants there are 600 50
very poor that they are living four, five
six, seven, or even eight in one room. a
small proportion are represented as liV-
ing ten and over ten IN one room; but,
happily, here Mr.. Booth distrusts the
accuracy Of the census enumerators.
Nearly 1000 900 are living with only one
room for each person, or at most with
two rooms between three people, three
between five, or four between seven.
The upper classes" are ranked with
those who have one servant or more
for fewer than four members in the
family, and Mr.. Booth justly remarks
on their numerical insIgnihcance. They
number little more than 25o, 600 and of
these less than 100000 enjoy the luxury
OF living in families with three or more
servants. These tests of the condition
of the population of London as a, whole,

the various groups Of trades. and SO in
this way gaugiQg the prosperity Of each

There Are Six Varieties of Him and All
Are SuisanCes.

The car hog is more and more in evil
dence every day" said a car conductor
the other day to a World man. The
warm weather develops traits that have
been dormant with the winter. l have
counted six different varieties of the
breed in "a week. | used to be a raiser
of stock in more prosperous days and
I'm q good judge. The most common
sort is that of the fellow who occupies
more room than he needs; never sees
that he could make room for anybody
and is evidently the same when he is at
home. I'll bet he's the man who gets
the morning paper first. reads it to
himself, gives no one else u chance and
carries ii downtown in his pocket
Then there's the fellow who crosses
his legs and when any one seeks to
pass simply turns his foot edgeways,
so that twice as much dirt is rubbed off
on woman's dress and he gets half a
shine for nothing. If a bigger man
stands still and glares at him he will
unfold his legs, but only then. This is
the same animal who likes to stretch
out In cross seats on the Il" and clean
his boots on the edge Of the seat.
The third of the species Is less bold
than his brothers He is the chap who,
when some one gets UP, leaving seat
vacant. although there's a tired woman
maybe next to him, plumps into the
vacant spot. f1r she has had her back
turned ana the opportunity was-and
always is-!n fact, never neglected by
him.
The fourth sort is the rooster who
reads another mans paper over his
shoulder. ] saw one the other day who
was SO interested in one article that he
ddIl see that the man who held the
paper was furtiVely and amusedly re-
Eardug him. The fact was brought to
his attention, however, by the paper be-
ing pushed in front of his face and then
withdrawn, and when he looked up
dozen smiling faces made his face turn
fairly saIlow
The fifth is really only pig. Hes
not grown, but thinks he is. His nose
that's not the word, but it will do-is
retrousse. and the little bristles under
it are carefully cared for. He likes to
crowd close to a pretty girl and stare
at her with such a yearning look. If
he sits opposite her his eyes rarely
wander from hers. I saw one young
woman stare at the feet Of one of that
sort for five minutes. He pulled them
back and fidgeted them about, finally
resting on his toes. She kept right on
staring and he become very uncom-
Portable. I'm told that's sure rem
edy. He finally got out on the plat
form.
The last of the railroad hogs know,
although there may De others, is the
one who opens his newspaper so as to
shut ont the view of those on either
side of him. If he'd fold il down the
center Of the page-but. pshaw! he
won't. New York World

ONCE HAPPY CHINA.
a Chinese Scholar in Paris Takes a Gloom
View OF Modern Civilization.

Wv" % -HoASIAt ~ iISAsstIt
You wish to know said he. the
opinion Ct our philosophers and sages in
regard TO the effect Of the war just over
upon me condition Of the Chinese Wen
! viii give il TO you. l pus aside all the
humiliatiOns Of defeat and place myself
upon more solid ground. The war has
robbed us forever Of our tranquility and
our happiness. We were happy and led
simpls lives; but, by bringing to US
what you may call the benefits of civili-
zatlon, the Japanese Will destroy our
traditions and our hereditary virtues,
confuse our customs and mode OF living
ana make Us like themselves, ambitious,
restless, and eager for sonQuests. And
what will we gain by that?
You fancy that the Chinese are ig-
nogaEt, poor and wretched but you
must re4ne nember that happiness exists in
the idea that one forms OF It. In Other
words q man is happy when he believes
himself happy, when he confines his de-
siTss 70 the few joys which are within
his reach. The peaaanS who eat. his
rice at the close Of his days work is sat
istiSd with his fate, provided he keeps
his eyes away from the riches Of others
and closes his heart against covetoUs-
ness. The evil sentiments Of envy, jeal-
ousy and social hatred have never yet
penetrated our population. l assure you
that you wrong the poor Chinese. They
are gentle, mild, good-humored. honest.
scrupulous, loyal, sympathetic and
charitable
You may have read the accounts OF
certain cruelties and barbarities but
they belong to the laws Of war, which
are equally berbaTous in all countries
In = condition of peace. when their quie-
tuds IS not disturbed. the Chinese are
Of marvellous benignity, which is only
equalled by the gentleness of their
wives l fancy that [ know the Partisan
ladies. but I do not hesitate TO say that
the Chinese women are superior 10
them. In the first place. our ladies have
little feet. They are good-natured and
devoid Of all Coquetry. They have q
deep sentiment of modasty, and their
existence passes along without disputes
and without quarrels.' The woman who
makes scenes is unknown in our favored
climate. Our women are c0ntented wit
the dresser their lords and masters give
them and they never run up bills with
dTessrnakers or modistes. Republic

left nothing to Mcclure but an old fid-
die he brought from Tralee, County
Kerry, Ireland, in 1S4S. Mcclure was
so indignant that he would not pay ex-
press charges on the fiddle to Kansas.
One night he dreamed the fiddle was
