Pope Leo's Instructions.

When Investigating the Vatican rco- ords, Pope Leo XIII said to Dom Gas. quet, the librarian, Publish everything of interest; everything, whether it tends to the discredit or credit of the eoclesi- astical authorities. for you may be sure that if the gospels had boon written in our day the treachory of Judas and tho denial of St. Peter would have been suppressed for fcar of scandalizing weak oonsciencos.

 BROOKLYN, Sept. 3.-An accident oc- cured near tho Woodlawn station of the Sea Beach railroad. While train No. 3, drawing r cars, which were crowded al- most to suffocation by excursionists, was standing at the Woodlawn station Q wild cat engine came laundering along the tracks in its wake and crashed into the rear car telescoping it.
 The car was full of passengers, most of whom came from New York. Many peo- pie saw the engine come tearing along and jumped from the train and thus saved their lives. The great majority of the passengers were on board at the time among them a number of women and children.
 A colored porter yelled to the passen- gers to jump. The runaway engine dash ed into the rear car, smashing it into kindling wood and burying men, women and children beneath it. There was a mad rush of surging humanity from the train. The groans of the injured filled the air.
 Patrolman Kelly, who was on duty at the station, turned in several ambulance calls, and five ambulances from the sur rounding hospitals promptly responded In the meantime the woodwork of the wrecked carriage caught fire and was soon in a blaze.
 Four cars wero completely destroyed be- fore the trainhands were able to uncouple them. As soon as it was detached the en- zine drew the other cars out of danger. Four cars were telesoopcd by the force of the collision

Ruby Mining I'm Burmah.

A large quantity of the worlds supply
Of rubies comes from the Burmah
mines, which have been actively work
ed since the annexation of Burmah by
the British government. The ruby dis
trict Is about 20 miles long and IL
broad, and lies at elevations varying
from 1000 feet to 5000 feet above the
sea-level. Some Of the mines have
been worked by the natives from very
remote periods; in fact old workings
are found over an area of GO square
miles. 1t is in the lower clay beds Of
the river dlluvia, and in similar de-
posits formed in gullies In the hill
wash, that the rubies spinels, and other
gems are found. In the alluvia, square
pits from two feet to nine feet across,
ingeniously timbered with bamboo, are
sunk to the ruby earth, which Is drawn
up by bamboo baskets. In the hill
wash long open trenches are carried
from the sides of a gully. Regular
mines arc opened in some places; in
others the limestone Is quarried.

A Cormorant at Work.

Those who watch the cOrmorants
diving :eats are usually so interested
in the fortunes Of the chase, as the
handsome bird dashes after the fish,

that, from the moment of its entering
the water to its exit, its movements are
absolutely different from those of the
great penguins. The cormorant does
not plunge headlong. 1t launches It.
self on the surface, and ducks like a
grebe. It's wings are not used as pro-
pellers, but trail INTERESTINGLY level
with its body. and the speed ut which
it courses through the water Is wholly
due to the swimming powers of It's
large webbed feet. These are set On
quite at the end of the body, and work
like n treadle or the floats Of stern
wheel steamer. Yet the conditions OF
submarine motion are so favorable that
the speed Of the bird below the surface
Is three or four times greater than that
gained by equally rapid movements Of
the feet when 1t has arisen and Is swim
ming on the top.
The lustre of the feathers in the clear
water, the cloud of brillisnt bubbles
which pour from the plumage, like the
nebulous train of a comet, as the bird
rushes through the water. and the sap
phire light of the large blue eye make
cormorant fishing one of the prettiest
aquatic exercises.

The Work of Bees.

A writer in the Revue des Sciences
des Naturelles makes the following cal
culations in regard to the work done
by the honey bee: When the weather
is fine a worker can visit from forty to
eighty flowers in six or ten trips, and
collect grain of nectar. If it visits
200 or 400 flowers, 1t will gather five
grains. Under favorable circumstan-
ces it will take a fortnight to obtain
fifteen grains. 1t would therefore take
1t several years to manufacture a
pound of honey, which will fill about
5000 cells. A hive contains from 90
600 to $4,000 bees, half of which pre-
pare the honey, the other half attend
ing to the wants Of the hive and the
family. On fine day 10000 to 10000
Individuals will, in six or ten trips, be
able to explore from 100000 to 1000
900 flowers, say several hundred thou
sand plants. Again, the locality must
be favorable for the preparation Of the
honey, and the plants that produce the
most nectar must flourish near the hive.
A hive inhabited by 10000 bees may,
therefore, under favorable conditions
receive about two pounds of honey a
day.

Amusing Complications from UsIno
Flesh In 6ausages.
\ An amusing warfare has been car.
ried on in Paris between the Govern
ment chemists and the makers of sau-
sages In which horsedesh has been
used. =
Some time ago the Butchers Asso-
citation OF Paris strongly advocated q
law rendering II compulsory to desig-
nate by a label or otherwise all sau-
sages composed OF horsehesh or in
which horsefiesh had been mixed with
other meats. The authorities, while
perfectly willing to make regulations
enforcing this practice, declined to do
so on account of the impossibility OF
Furnishing offenders. To punish the
violatoys OF law 1t is necessary to
detect the violation and also to show
proof of 1t. In the present state OF
scientific knowledge 1t is not possible
to satisfactorily determine the differ
ence between flesh of the horse and
that Of any other animal when they are
both chopped fine and mixed together.

water a reddish-brown reaction would
be apparent IL horsehesh were present.
Pork or beef does give this peculiar
tinge. The pork butchers rejoiced and
prepared to push the wished-for legis-
lation.
The horsemeat men had card up
their sleeves, however, and commenced
adding a little -four to their sausage
meat When the lodated water was
applied contact with the starch Of the
-four Immediately produced brilliant
blue, which effectually masked all
traces Of any other color. This blue, Of
course, would point to the likelihood Of
horsemeat being present, but 1t could
not be sworn to. Surprising the meat
to be pure beef and the -four added,
the blue would be the same when the
test was applied.
The chemists again went to work
and discovered that IL the starch was
separated by maceration and subse-
quent filtration, and the residue treat
ed with two or three chemicals, the
h0rsemeat would be detected. So far
the victory rests with the chemists, and
the law will probably be passed unless
the horsemeat men make another dis
covery. In 1892 10000 horses were
slaughtered in Paris, three-fourths Of
which went into sausages, so that the
