Alexanaria 6azftte,
FRIDAY EVENING. FEB. 81, 1886
CAUGHT IN A TRAP.

Mr.. Jackson Wanser's mouth has
grown six inches in the last few months.
This second growth was made in a re-
markable way. Mr.. Parr had distii-
lery and some times he would leave a
barrel OF low wine out of doors. Wan
ser soon smelt this and poked his beak
into it. As the low wine sank in the
barrels Waustr's bill grew until by Us
ing little suction he could drink the
last drop out of any barrel Mr.. Parr
had. How to save his low wine from
Wauser caused Mr.. Parr many anxious
thoughts He tried sitting up all night
GA the barrel with stick in his hard,
but nature would give way now and
hen aud henever he slept, Wanser
would slip out OF the bushes near hy
and dip his bill in the barrel. AT last
another idea struck Mr.. Parr. He built
4 small raft and floated it on barrel
nall ,ull of low wine and sat steel
crap upon it That night he went home
early. After while here comes Wan
ser stepping through the field and
jumped over the fence. He stopped
for while and looked all
around. Everything was still. Then
he eased up to tie barrel OF
Ilw wine and went to work. 1t was
30 good he closed his eyes. Sucking
the low wine made kind of motion
on the surface and slowly the raft sail
ed towards Wapser's mouth. His lip
ried to knock it out of the way, but
the raft slid up little closer. Bang
The trap closed and Wanser made a
spring, but it was no use, he was
caught. The next morning, early,
Mr.. Parr came down to the still.
what you doing Wanser on your
knees over that barrel, saying your
prayers ?"
mo indeed, Mr.. Parr, Pm not pray
iu'. come along here last night and
seen niger drinking out of dis bung
hole. ruined him off, then thinks l,
III see what that niger was doin', so l
stopped down over this barrel and a
Big crawfsh spranged out de hole and
drawed my mouth in and | ben here

Mr.. Parr took the trap off Wanser's
bill and when he saw it was not q
crawfish he sided away and nothing
has ever been seen or heard OF him

Danger i'm Mineral Wool.

Mineral wool is made by blowing
powerful jets of steam or hot air
through iron, Stag, or certain sorts of
rock. That this substance has possi-
Bile dangers, has for some time been
evident to scientists. It is said that
these extremely fine fbers get into the
skin, under the nails, into the eyes,
and are breathed into the lungs, pro-
ducing serious hemorrhages. They
are in reality closely akin
to glass, especially those OF
Stag. and this material should be
handled with great caution. 1t is
largely used in building for filling
partitions and floors as a deadener of
sound. It is also useful for packing
pipes and many other purposes. Men
who work in it use sticks and various
implements for handling it, taking
care not to touch it. In using this
mineral wool, 1t is we'll to observe
whether there are currents of air
strong enough to lift it up to breath
ing level. IT SO, the worker may to
advantage tie a fine but thin handker-
chief over his mouth aud nose.-The
Ledger.

certain plants are luminous to such an

Tie Euphorbia phosphorea, a vinous
plant, contains o milky jul. which is
brilliantly phosphrescent, and gives a
brighter famelike CLEAN to any solid
surface on which it has been rubbed.
These plants, which grow Us fungus, or
bushes, burn with a yellow or green
hue, and sometimes, notably in Borneo,
give out a positive blaze of light.
travellers in Asia having noticed trees
outlined, as it were, with fire, in the
midst OF dense forests. These lights
are only found in tropical regions.
A most extraordinary sight was OBJ
served by a Norwegian vessel in the
Bay Of Funchal lately, where the
waters are alive with luminous little
plants slearly all the year around.
A waterspout was formed among them,
and a pillar of fire seemed to arise out
of the sea and moved quickly before
the wind. Emitting a pale yellow
light in the midst of the blackness Of
night, it presented a weird sight. -

markable decrease in children's dis
