Governo. Bushnell, of Ohio, has
received letter from Professor L. d.
Cope, of the Department of Compare
tive Anatomy IN the University OF
Pennsylvania, and President of tho
Society for the Advancement of
Science, in which he doprecates the
fact that Ohio is soon to adopt tho
electric method of executing the death
sentence, which ho says is fad and
a barbarism. The effect of the electric
shock is, ho says, uncertain and but
little understood. In many cases por-
sous have suffered soveror shocks than
are administered under tho New York
law and havo recovered Tho profess
sor intimateo that he thinks the per-
sons who offered to resuscitate any o.
the persons executed in Auburn could
do it, and would if allowed. He says
there is no doubt in his mind that
several Of the persons electrocuted
have really died from tho result of the
post-mortem examination.

Uses for Ozone.

Ozone is becomingl an important
industrial agent. 1t artilicially ages
liquor, removes the effect of oily beans
in coffee and improves tobacco. In
its late application to the rapid sea-
soning of wood for sounding boards
and musical Instruments it increases
the resistance of the .wood to temper
ature and moisture and adds to its
acoustic qualities. 1t thickens linseed
OIL for linoleum in a few days, where
as the old method of oxidation often

suits of long labor would be lost In
some of those gardens grow certain

wasps, the insects liking to attach

though small, have q very venomous
sting. Baboons have often been no.
ticed cycling with envious glances the
fast ripening fruit in one certain gar
den, but feared to gather for fear of
attracting the assaults of wasps. One
morning the farmer heard terrible
cries, and with the aid of a good field
glass he witnessed the following
tragedy: A large, venerable baboon,
chief OF the band, was catching the
younger apes and pitching them into
the shrubs whereon hung the wasps'
nests. This he repeated again and
again, in spite of the most piteous
cries from his victims. OF course the
wasps ass umed the defensive in swarms.
During this part of the performance
the old brute quietly fed on the fruit,
deigning occasionally to throw frag-
mentary remains to some female aud
young balloons little further of. -

Unique Travelling Regulations.

An American who was travelling in
the hills of Scotland paid ten dollars
for u tirst-class ticket for stage
coach ride over the mountains. Soon
after the start he noticed that a man
who had second-class ticket, which
cost five dollars and several who had
third.class tickets, price two dollars
and a half, were enjoying as good
seats and apparently as many privi-
leges as he was. The American con-
cluded that the canny Scotsman had
gotten the better of him, but decided
to hold his peace and pay for the ex-
pcrience. When the end of the jour
ney was reached, at evening, however,
the traveller had changed his mind he
felt that he had had his moneys worth.
For every time that day when tho
coach came to the foot of steep hill
the horses were stopped, and tho driver
called out, 'First.class passengers,
keep your seats; second-class passen-
gers, get out and walk; third-class
passengers, get out and push :" And
they all did every time -Harper's

A New York paper tolls of an Incl
dent said to have occurred on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, between the
city and Trenton. Near Trenton, there
Is n well-known lunatic asylum. Tho
heroine of the affair boarded the train
at Jersey City. Presently a man en-
tered the car, and after courteously
inquiring whether the seat beside her
was taken, sat down in it. Suddenly,
in ordinary conversational tones, he
turned to the woman, and seid: 'In
q short time we shall reach Trenton,
and you will get of there with me.
Yes, l see your ticket says that you're
to so to Philadelphia, bat you won't
reach there until have first secured
the money and jewelry that | see you
have about you. It's no use for you
to make the slightest outcry"-which
outcry the woman, of course, made at
once, but the man was as good as his
word, and at every appeal she made
to the passengers and conductor, he
cut her short with Don't pay the
slightest attention to her, she's my
sister, and she's suffering with a terri
bic hallucination us to her identity,
aud mine, and erything else. I'm
taking her to the insane asylum near
Trenton just as quickly as can get
her there. 1 have the warrant right
here. You needn't mind what che
says, as she may become violent. 4"
Whereupon, SO tho story goes, both
conductor and passengers were deaf TO
the woman's appeals, and at Trenton
she was hustled into closed carriage,
taken to a lonely wood, denuded of
her diamonds aud ducats, and at a late
hour returned to the station.
