CAUSTIC IN MOTHS.

Discovery of the Substance Used In Es-
Gaping from Cocoons.
A most remarkable chronological dis
.covcry has been announced by Oswald
Latter, the great naturalist. 1t is to the
effect that the image Of the moth Dicra-
nura vinula secretes pure cau=tic
potash which it uses to penetrate the
tough silken bag or cocoon in which
it is Enclosed, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie.
Caustic potash is. as most everyone
knows, a powerful caustic which de-
stroys skin and flesh when brought in
contact with il. That it shorld be Sc

20 singular and unlikely that the ento-

Warm feat during wet weather are

Breaks Into Safes with Machinsry and
Saves Time.
The modern burglar il adopting mod
fern appliances. The jimmy bids fair to
become a relic Of the past before long.
A recent burglary in France illustrates
this fact, says the New York Journal.
A gang of ingenious craftsmen en-
tered a bankers Office armed with q
steel saw of the newest construction
and handy little gas engine. There
was no need for the exercise of muscle,
nor was there any necessity for o good
strong wrist at the saw as there was
at one time in the annals of famous rob-
beries.
! The little engine was started, the
saw put in the proper place, and the
connections made. Seating themselves
serenely upon a couple of chairs near at
hand, these modern burglars watched
the true and rapid work of their appli.
ances.
The big safe might have resisted for
hours the force of human hands, but
the saw, impened by the engine, it
could net stand against. 1t promptly
yielded up its contents of over $4,000
worth Of gold and bonds. and in quar-
ter of the time it would have taken to
have committed the robbery under the
old conditions the burglars were well
out of the building with their booty.

Sew swindIe Practiced Upon the Gunibls
New Yorker.
Here is brand-new swindle. The man
who invented it or heard of it in some
out-of-the-way part Of the world had
some money, says the New York Re
corder. He rented a house in one Of
the oldest parts OF New York. It is a
quarter in which swell Knickerbockers
lived, and some of their descendants
live there 20 this day. He made himself
familiar figure in liquor store in the.
neighborhood, where he sampled va
rious brands and vintages and proved
himself connoisseur.
One day he told the proprietor that he
had taken down brick wall in the
rear of the cellar OF his house, intend
ing to replace it with stone, as il had
grown moldy. Behind it he found three
tasks Of remarkable brandy that had
been lying reconcile for many years.
undoubtedly the property Of some long
sead and forgotten householder, who
knew a good thing when he saw it, and
was saving it.
The saloon man bought it at s1s
gallon, having previously tasted an al
'eged sample that for bouquet has
never been surpassed upon this CONT
nent Or any other. The goods were de-
fvered and the tenant disappeared With
two months rent in arrears. It was
really coed brandy worth about six dol
lars gallon, at which price it had been
bought from Broadway street wine
r,erchaat.
However, the wineroom man did not
lose anything. His customers are
drinking brandy lat 40 cents 'pony')
which they are assured has lain in q
New York cellar fer 100 years.

THE ARK.EORN MAN.

Which of Noah's Descendants First Saw
the Light IN the ARK?
Hundreds Of ancient cleaners of mis-
cellaneous curios, legends, myths and
traditions give US to understand that
Cueh was born on the ark, says the 81,
Louis Republic. Others claim that
there was = child born on the sacred
vessel, but that il was sacrificed to ono
Of the wild beasts, Noah declaring that
had not gone on board in the regulation
manner. The weight of the evidence
as it is given by the Talmudic writer's
is to the effect that Cush is the person
referred to by the old-tixne mystery
cleaners when they speak of the lark
ps the scores Of Biblical encyclopedias,
hand books of ancient history, etc, are
silent on the subject. In a reprint o:
enc of the rare old Saxon Chronicles"
is found clew to the mystery, and an
pther slight hint in an explanatory note
in Herbert's "Nimrod." In the Saxon
Chronicles" the following occurs:
"Bedwig was the son or Shem, who was
the son of Noah, and he, Bedwig, was
born on the ark" Herbert's note in
"Nimrod," colune ii, page 81, says
1Kybelc is the ark, and, as Cush was be-
gotten in the ark, his posterity were. in
O peculiar sense, descended from that
ship" Although Herbert made no di-
rect references to the fact of Cush be-
ing actually born in the ark, he speaka
Of him in several places as 'Cush, the
ark-born." The Taimudic writer's dis
credit the Bedwig story, but declare
that Cush was born on the day that
