some New Notions on Making the Invisi-
BILE Visible.
A new and terrible science is dawn
ing on bedeviled and over-instructed
world. 1t is called, or to be called, psy-
geography, and 1t deals with the record
ing of thought on Photographic plates.
It seems to be pretty clear that the
retina of the eye retains for some short
time the image last impressed upon 1t,
and that photograph OF the eye VIII
reproduce this image. 1t is said that
II, France a man has been convicted OF
murder on the evidence OF photograph
OF his eyes, on which was impressed the
image of the victim at the moment OF
death; but 1 confess am rather skep-
teal about this story. However, as
Stunning it to be true, If Mr.. Ingles
Rogers has not gone wildly wrong, it
does not follow that the supposed as
sassin was guilty of the crime of which
re was convicted.
This gentleman, well known as
savant in all that relates to photogra-
ply, discovered that by staring hard
at an undeveloped plate in n dark room,
and thinking deeply all the time, he
could produce on it "a curious figure, OF
no particular shape" This set him to
| thinking very deeply, and it occurred
| to him that if he allowed his thoughts
| to dwell on some particular object, no
| might obtain something more than
| shapeless image on plate. lie sat
down, therefore, and thought about
| shilling until, after three-quarters OF
an hour Of it, he went nearly mad. When
he came to develop his plate, he found
on it something that distantly suggest
| ed either Il coin or the sun rising in
| fog according to the taste and fancy
| of the beholder); and this success en-
couraged him to further experiments.
In the presence of three other ex-
| perts who certify 10 the absence OF oil
trickery in the experiment, he fixed his
mind intently on ar imaginary postage
stamp, and sat down for 90 minutes be-
fore O plate taken out of a packet just
sent by the dealer. What the result was
may be seen in the Amateur Photog-
rapher. On the dark plate are two
disks of what looks like white vapor,
and in the middle of the disks two OBJ
long figures, with head family out
lined on each. 1t cannot be said that
the resemblance to stamps is exact;
but the figures undoubtedly look more
like stamps than anything else.
The good faith of Mr.. Rogers l cannot
doubt If he has not been misled, he
has stumbled on one of the most won
derful discoveries ever made. If n poet
can thus give to airy nothings a local
habitation in sense that even Shakes
peare never dreamed Of, may not we
he on the verge of finding out what
thought is, and and having the key to
the mystery of consciousness? Buteven
when we hold that key, shall we be any
nearer to the knowledge Of the secret
Of the universe ?-London Realm.

AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.
According to b. r.. Clayton II IL the
Source of Our Wealth.

According to b. r. Clayton II IL the
Source of Our wealth.
The civilized world stands amazed at
the vast accommodations of the American
people, and the query from home and
abroad is from whence IL came, and
what Is It's true source? We answer
that our success Is due to two agencies,
both Of which the American people pos
sess in the highest degree, namely.
labor and it's intelligent application to
the richest natural resources OF any
country. In the consideration of the
true source of our national wealth we
must combine these two elements az
one and inseparable. Man must furnish
labor and nature must furnish all tho
material upon which labor is expended.
Our labor has always been OF the high
est type, from the fact that the people
Of the United States are the remote, II
not the direct. descendants of a repre-
sentative foreign element that had
learned to think for itself, and when de-
barred from acting for itself, to seek
country of equal social and political
rights where it could plant the banner
of the largest freedom and where it
could enjoy to the fullest extent the
fruits of it's own labor.
Our population is made up OF an en-
ergetic class that Is willing to leave
the scenes of childhood, the home OF
youth, the mother tongue and native
land to cast their fortunes with 4
strange people. The American citizen.
whether native or foreign born, is quick
to recognize the rights OF all who would
come to our shores TO better their con
the safeguards Of protection in every
social and political right From the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers there
has been healthful growth in the
spirit of freedom, morality, industry.
and economy. The environments that
surround the American citizen are an
tngonistic to royal eXclusivenese. They
regard labor as respectable and meas
ure men by the standard OF virtue and
personal worth.
The natural product of the soil, aided
by intelligent labor, is the great creative
force, the only source from which
wealth may be obtained to meet all OBJ
legations. The street car fare, interest
on bonds, dividends on stocks, the sol
diers' pensions, the fees of the profes
sional, the dry goods and the grocery
bills, as well as the cost of conducting
all the intricate machinery of the gov
eminent, must be paid by the revenues
from the soil.-North American Re

A Curious Calying Case.

A farmer who runs dairy farm in

to fne heifer calf, but she did not
seem TO show a natural maternal feel
ing for it. and it was removed and
placed with another COW. Saturday,
September FL, eight days later, she
gave birth to another heifer calf, even
larger than the first one; her milk

calf. Roth calves are now with her.

STRUGGLES OF GENIUS.
Accidents in the Editors Experience
Simplicity of Greatness.

Accidents in the Editors Experience
Simplicity of Greatness.
The praises of the robust indepen-
dence of genius look well in print and
roll nicely from the tongue; but the
genius must yoke himself with caution,
and wear the bride hypocrisy unless
he have the courage to father deas
mute and starve with it.
1t is true that "Thanatopsis" first
tried it's wings in the consecrated at
mosphere of standard magazine"
but "Thanatopsis" was only fiedgc-
ling at the time. The wings were there,
but not the broad pinions upon which
that poem scared into immortality.
Accidents are not to be escaped, but
that particular magazine long since
closed the door upon the possibility OF
another such accident. The history
of periodical literature affords so few
like instances that this may not enter
seriously into the question.
To say that this is designedly so is
unfair. The editor is n man of business,
and he says he is the best friend of bud
ding genius. That he is unable, until
the bud has been pretty well developed
by the careful hoeing and watering Of
some one else, to decide whether it is
going to be Chinese lily or pansy;
that he cannot always tell the scream
of the eagle from the cluck of n
Brahma hen, or winged cupid from a
furniture van, is not his fault, but
the misfortune Of his readers. The
sun is not the only luminary capable
of dazzling the eye.
There is something about n great
poem or story-it may be its simplicity
its directness, it's want of "style"-that
seems to place it beyond the range of
the educated" taste. Water is fiat and
insipid after long indulgence in wine;

Rcehixes for Enrmers.

Most farmers would have better sue
cess with bees if they used only the
old straw or box hives. Bookkeeping
with the movable-frame hives is an art
which few care to learn; the straw hive
is simple tool which anyone can use.
Before the bee-moth became prevalent,
nearly every farmer kept bees in this
simple way. The introduction of the
Italian bee has done away with this
trouble. With the old-fashioned hives,
women and children can do most af
the work. and Bookkeeping, like poul-
try raising, can be their special prov
ince and profit. Aside from learning to
hive new swarms, little knowledge is
needed.-Country Gentleman.

RHEUMATISM.

From the Ncips Hutchinson, Kansas.
This summer, while representative Of
the Hutchinson, Kansas, Ne,cs, was taking
his vacation he had occasion to visit the
thriving little City of Peru, Ill. He had
hardly had time to shake hands with friends
In the city before he was told Of the Won
derful cure of Mrs. George Perry of rheuma-
tism. Every one that has ever lived In
Peru, ILL.,, knows Deacon George Perry and
wife. They have lived there forty years,
and being active workers In the church and
kind, obliging neighbors, they are both well

Deacon Perry and wife the second day after
his arrival He was met ut the door by Mrs.
Perry, an old lady now over seventy years
of age. He told her bluntly that he had
heard that she had been recently cured OF
rheumatism and asked for her story, which
she readily gave, expressing desire that
she wished that the world at large should
know of her good fortune. She said:
"About three years ago was taken down
with the grippe and suffered nearly all VIM
