Formic Acid and the Mango Trick,

The we'll known mango trick" of
the Indian conjurcrs has hitherto
hardly received any explanation
which could account for the observ-
ed effects, and vet it has been inn
possible to discrcdit tho many wit.
ncSSeS of the feat. An ingenious
suggestion has been made by NJ
Ragonneau, who asserts that the In
dams SOW the seed under experiment
in earth which has been taken from
an ants nest, the fCrmic acid pres
ent causing it to gCrmiuate with OK
traordinary rapidity and sprout up
in sight Of the observer. Mr.. Ragon-
neau states that he has reproduced
this effect by sowing seeds in earth
previously watered with q diluted
solution of formic acid.
This result Is contrasted with the
observations of Moggridgo, who
found that i'll seeds stored in the
granaries Of the Mediterranean ants
tho process of termination was in.

tality was not destroyed, as was
proved by removing and planting
them in fresh earth, when they

suits are, to say the least, somewhat
contradictory. and until we have
some confrmatory evidence rs to

Tho Spirit OF Racing In America.


Before the war of the revolution
the English officers quartered about
New York had established q race
course on Long Island, and ever
since then there has been racing in
the neighbOrhood of the metropolis
now without question the racing
center of the United States. In the
old time races there was nearly al
ways deal of sentimont, this often
taking a sectional fOrm-aS, for in
stance, when Eclipse represented the
north and Henry the south in q race
at four milo heats on Long Island in
1928. From the journal of Josiah
Quincy we learn that 100, 900 per-
sons were spectators of this race,
and that he was so Interested in the
sport that he sat in the sun till one
of his cheeks was blistered without
at the time being conscious of the
intense heat.
At this race it is interesting to re-
call that John Randolph of Roanoke
sat just in front of Mr. Quincy, who
said of tho Virginian, Apart from
his intense sectional pride, he had
personal interest at the turn things
were taking, for he had bet heavily
on the contest, and, it was said, pro-
posed to sail for Europe upon clear
ing enough to pay his expenses "
This was after Henry had Won the
first heat. For in the next heat,
when Eclipso's proper rider, Purdy,
was i'll the saddle, the tables were
turned, and the race went to Eclipse

A Ouid Pro Quo.

He was an Englishman without a
handle to his name, and he had
come over to hunt the American
heiress to her lair. Consequently,
he disooursed freely on the iniquity
of marriage without affection. He
was holding forth one day on the
absurd esteem in which Americans
hold titles.
There are many untitled English
men of excellent family, whom
American girls might much better
marry" he declared, but they
would refuse because they want q
title above everything"
The particular American he was
talking to smiled at him cheerfully.
"Wcll, you know" she said,
when girl has 81, 900, 900 to in
vest, she likes to get tho worth of
her money"
And he could only look at her in
hopeless horror. York Jour

THE SONG AND THE SIGH.

When bright skies seem far away.
Smile and think the winters May
II the snow falls day and night,
Dream each flakes u rose of white
Meyer mind how dark the sky
Ii s the song that beats the sigh
AS this old world rolls along,
Hear the bells ring and the song
Every bird on every tree
Joining in the melody,
Happy us the time rolls by
It's the song that beats the sigh
Every garden has it's rose,
Every storm rainbow shows:
When, each day, the sun declines
Star to star in glory shines
See the sun-the stars on high
It's the song that beats the sigh.
Still God $ heaven GrcctS your sight
In the darkness there is hight;
Every morn the sunlight streams,
And the dark is sweet with dreams.
Hear the music from on high
It's the song that beats the sigh,

A TERRIBLE ORDEAL.
But the Man Was Brave and Passed
Through 1t Safely.

the MAN Was Brave and Passed
Through 1t Safely.
An officer in tho French army,
during the reign of Napoleon, hav-
ing incurred the suspicion or resent
mont of the emperor, thought it OK
podicnt TO abandon his country and
take refuge in one of tho Austrian
provinces, and here he became ad-
visod of and initiated into a society,
the object of whose formation was
to hurl to the ground the colossus
whose arm smote and governed the
whole continent of Europe with q
sceptor of iron.
One day n letter was brought to
him containing the usual signs and
passwords of the society and requir-
ing him to repair, on tho following
night, to II secluded spot in Il forest,
where he would meet some of his
associates.
He went, but he found nobody.
The orders were repeated four times.
Tho officer sought the appointed
place with no better success than
the first. On tho fifth night Of his
appearance at the rendezvous. after
waiting SOmo time, no was on tho
point of returning, when loud cries
suddenly arrested his attention.
Drawing his sword, he hastonod to
the spot whence they seemed to pro-
coed and was fired upon by throo
men, who, on seeing that no re-
manned unwoundod, instantly took
to flight, but ut his feet lay u bleed
ing corpse, in which, by the feeble
light of tho moon, he in vain sought
for tokens of returning animation.
He was Yet bonding over tho dead
man when detachment of chas-
seurs, summoned apparently by the
noise of tho pistols that had been
discharged at himself, came up sud
denly and arrested him Us the assas.
sin.
He was loaded with chains, tried
the next day and condemned to die
for his supposed crime. His eXocu-
tion was ordered to take place at
midnight. Surrounded by tho min
listers of Justice he was led Mt slow
pace, by the light of torches and the
funeral tulhnG of bells, to a vast
square, i'll the confer of which was
scaifold envirunod by horsemen.
Beyond these were numerous
group of spectators who muttcred
impatiently and ut intervals sent
forth n cry Of adherence.
The victim mounted tho scaffold
and his sentence was read, and the
first act of tho tragedy was on the
point of fuliillmont when an officer
let fall word of hope. An edict had
just been promulgated by the gov
eminent offering pardon and life
to any condemned criminal who
should disclose tho members and Sc
cret tokens of n particular associa-
ton, the existence of which the
Frenchman to whom these words
We're addressed had lately become
aware of, and of which he had be-
como q member.
He was questioned, but he denied
all knowledge. They urged him to
confess, with promises of additional
reward. His only reply was de-
mand for immediate death-and his
initiation was completed.
All that had passed was terrible
trial of fidelity. Those who sur
rounded him were members of tho
society, and every incident that has
been described from the summons
to the last moment of expected
death was only step in the prog
ress of the fearful ordeal by which
the society sought to determine the
trustworthinoss of the neophyte.-
