Lighting New York Harbor.

The entrance to New York harbol
is now illuminated at night like city
street, as each of the spar buoys along
the Gedney channel carries an electric
light. The current for these lights as
well as for some others farther up the
harbor, is furnished from a generat-
ing station at Sandy Hook. Part Of
the lights are supplied with q contin-
uous current of $50 volts by means of
nearly two miles of cable, consisting
OF a single conductor of seven
stranded copper wires of No. 10 guage,
covered with an insulator and pro-
tected by a double armor of steel
wire. The buoys along the Gedney
channel are furnished with an alter
mating current of 1000 volts, prob
ably the first instance in which such q
current has been used for this pur-
pose.
The lamps are of 100 candle.powel
each, and are set at the top of the
buoy. They are protected by heavy
bell-glass globes, and are about five
inches in diameter. The buoys to
which these lamps are fixed are large
spars, from sixty to seventy feet long,
each anchored to the bottom by q hol
low cast-iron block, shaped like O
mushroom, and weighing about SOC
pounds. New York Churchman.

A Terrible Fly

Near the castle ofGolubaes is found
a range OF caverns, famous for pro-
ducing the poisonous fly too we'll
known in Seryia and Hungary under
the name of Golubaeser fly, says Pub
lie Opinion. These singular and ven
omous insects, somewhat resembling
mosquitoes, generally make their APP
pearance during the first great heat in
such numbers as to seem like vast vol
umes of smoke. Their attacks are
always directed against every descrip-
ton Of quadruped, and so potent is
the poison they communicate that
even an OK is unable to Withstand its
influence, for he always expires in less
than two hours. This results, not SO
much from the virulence Of
the poison, as that every vul-
nerable part is simultaneously
covered with these most de-
structive insects: then the wretched
animals, frenzied with PAIN rush wild
through the fields, till death puts an
end to their suffering, or they plunge
headlong into the rivers. The shep-
herds of these countries, taught by
experience the time Of their approach
annoint every part of their flock aud
herds unprotected by nature with a
strong decoction of wormwood, to
which these flies have a great an
tipathy. In addition to this, the
shepherds keep immense fires blazing
round which the poor animals, aware
of their danger, trembling and pa
tiently, congregate. Nature has,
however, mercifully ordained that
their existence shall be most ephemer-
al, for the slightest variation in the
weather is sufficient to destroy the
whole swarm.

Tho county Of Pike is older than
tho state Of Missouri itself having
boon laid out by the Territorial Leg
islature in 1919 before Missouri was
admitted 10 tho eiaierhood Of States.
The town Of Louisiana was laid

organized by Shaw & Coldwell, tho

tho town now stands so that Louis

into history at the same time.
When Territorial government oa-
tablished Pike county It's southern
boundary was the northern limo 81 ST
Charles county. The western line
was along tho ridge dividing tho
waters Of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, to the extreme northern bound
airy line Of tho territory Of Upper
Louisiana. At that time the dividing
line between the Spanish and French
possessions was claimed by Spain to
run along the summit Of the Rocky
Mountains to the 49th degree Of
north latitude, while France claimed
the whole Of the territory now en-
braced by the states Of Oregon and
Washington. This question was
finally settled between the United
States aud Spain by the treaty Of
1919, which was not made and ratified
at the date of the passage of the act
creating this county.
II the French claim was correct,

A SedentnrY Hen.

Though generally cheerful and con-
tent with her lot, the hen at times be-
comes moody, sullen and taciturn.
At first she seems to be preoccupied
only. She starts and turns pale when
suddenly spoken to. Then she leaves
her companions and seems to be the
victim of hypochondria. Then her
mind wanders. At last you come upon
her suddenly some day seated under
the currant bushes. You sympathize
with her and you seek to fondle her.
She then picks a small memento out
of the back of your hand. You then
gently but firmly coax her out of there
with hoe, and you find that she has
been seated for some time on an old
croquet ball, trying to hatch out
whole set of croquet balls. This shows
that her mind is affected. You pick
up the croquet ball and find it hot and
feverish SO you throw it into theshade
of the woodshed. Anon you find your
demented hen in the loft of the barn
lowering over door knob and trying
by patience and industry to hatch out
a hotel. Bill Nye.

THE WEDDING DRESS.

How we'll remember it all. We
we're sitting round the fire in the oak
parlor Of tile old Dover House at
Cromer-mother, Aunt Lettie, and I.
Dear Aunt Lettie how beautiful she
was still despite her snow-white hair;
and though she was 3S, her complexion
was as fresh and bright as any young
girls We were chattering over the
peace just procTaimed-the peace that
ended the long war with France the
war that lasted twenty years
must tell something Of ny dear
aunts life, that you may understand
why my mother and I we're touched
to surprise. Twenty years before my
aunt, then Is, aud the Belle of Daw-
lish lsome said OF Devonshire) was en-
gagged to be married to handsome
Gilbert Tresilian. 1t was a splendid
match in every way, for he was young,
rich, amiable; he was an orphan, un-
troubled with any undesirable rela-
tives; and, moreover, he had an ample
income arising from money in the
Funds. Gilbert Tresillian came to
stay in Dawlish, where my grand
father then lived, at the Mill house,
a charming old place some four miles
from the town surrounded by magnii-
cent gardens, sloping terrace to the
sea-gardens the admiration of the
West country. The day before the
wedding he spent there, returning in
the evening to the Red Lion at Daw-
lish. My aunt walked with him about
a mile through the gardens, where
they parted until the morrow; and
from that moment Gilbert Tresillian
was not seen or heard of again.
He disappeared as completely from
the mortal ken as though the
earth had opened and 0wallowed
him. The country was secured, the
shore beneath the cliff was searched
but not the slightest trace could be
found. My poor aunt came near to
die with brain fever; and When she
recovered, her beautiful hair was as
white as snow. My grandfather re-
moved from place whose every OBJ
ject brought back some fearful mem
DRY to his daughter; and when, soon
after he died, Aunt Lettie came to
live with us in Cromer. Though only
a little thing l recall perfectly the
day she came, for I thought l had
never seen any one SO sweet and yet
so sad. None had ever heard Aunt
Lettie laugh, none had ever seen her
smile, YET she was cheerful always,
and ready to help every one. All this
happened twenty years ago and though
many had sought her hand SHE was
still true to the memory of Gilbert
Tresillian.
During the next few days I could
think and talk Of nothing save the
coming masquerade, and Jacks re-
turn.
But be the day never 50 weary or long,
AT length it ringoth to evensong.
Aud so at length the eventful even
ing arrived. Aunt and mother dressed
me in petticoat and train of loveliest
white brocade, trimmed with filmy
Honiton lace. Mother dropped many
furtive tear, recalling the bride that
WIS to have been, whose romance Of
love was cut short in such mysteri-
GUS fashion; but aunt said never
word till I was dressed, and then,
turning to my mother she exclaimed:
'She looks better, Mary, than 1
should have done: and after all, you
see,it has not been utterly wasted But
you must let me powder your hair,
Lettie, every one wore powder when I
WAS young.
I was sitting, oh, SO happy, BY Sir
