A French scientist calculates that in
nh average day the sun will pour on
two and a half acres of ground heat
which might be turned into energy
equal to the muscle power of 4,163
horses.
M. MouchOt believed that this heat
might be utilized and made to do the
work nov done by steam and electric
ity. He found that by condensing the
heat played on less than a yard and a
half of ground he could boil a quart OF
water. BY arresting sunshine and
condensing it, small steam engines
have been operated successfully in
Paris; but nothing has yet been done
to realize practically the great hopes
of revOlutiOnizing civilization by using
directly the enormous power which

Another Fish Story.

When a certain judge was over at the
Springs last summer n of the lead
ing merchants there persistently dwelt
upon the number of trout that a man
could catch in a certain stream, at a
spot only known to him. He at last
succeeded in inducing the judge to ac-
company him to this famous spot, first
negotiating with a small c)lored boy
to catch a lot of grasshoppers, as there
were none to be procured neal the
stream, and it was impossible to catch
the trout without 'hoppers.
Get small 'hoppers,' said the mer.
chant to the little negro.
Eyes, suh," replied the boy enthusi-
astically as he fastened off to earn
the two bits" promised.
When the tin box containing the
'hoppers was opened at the stream, only
three were found, and they were al
most as big as curlew.
Of curse it was impossible to fish,
and the sportsmen returned home dis
gusted, the enthusiastic host of the
occasion being particularly warm un4
der the collar. The first thing he did
was to hunt up the colored boy, on
whom he began with:
Il thought l told you to get small
'%hoppers?"
so did sub; deed | did"
Does that look like it, you young
rapscallion? ?" replied the angry fisher
man, as he opened the box and exhibit
ed the giant 'hoppers.
The boy looked at the contents Of
the box with well-feigned amazement.

Cutting.

Men of science sometimes make ex-
traordinary demands upon the skill
of Observation-Disclosures. An interesting
illustration is furnished by the instru-
ment called the "microtome," the pur-
pose of which is to cut excessively thin
slices, or sections, of various sub
Stances, such as animal or vegetable
tissues, for microscopic examination.
Microtomes have recently been invent
ed, which, it is claimed, can cut sue
ces sive sections each only nj twelve
thousandth of an inch thick! The edge
of the knife which makes such cuts
appears perfectly smooth and straight
when magnifed fifty times.

An Accountable Legacy.

A tendency to rheumatism is undoubt-
cdly inherited. Unlike many other
legacics, 1t remains in the family. The
most effectual means of checking this
tendency, or of removing incipient rheu-
matism, whether pre-eXistent in the
blood or not, is to resort to Hostetter's
Bitters as soon as the Fremont
tory twinges are felt. Multiplying the in
fluences of cold, exposure and fatigue,
the Bitters not only ~fortifies the system
against their hurtful consequences, but
subjugates malaria, liver and kidney
complaint, dyspepsia and nerve %disquiet-

Senator Platt.s wife,s Influence.

Senator Platt of Connecticut" says
the Washington Post, has spruced up
wonderfully since his marriage. Hs

matter of dress. Trousers might be
baggy, coat might fit badly, necktie
might be awry-it was all the same to
Plat. Now all is changed. Platt is
rejuvenated, new editioned. He trips
lightly to the capitol with smiling face,
when heretofore he vas the walking
epitome of grewsome indigestion. His
hair is cut and barbered with daily
care His shoes are always shining,
and on his hat no flick of dust is al
lowed to rest. Even his trousers are
creased-and, most startling of all, he
has donned a necktie which vies with
Joseph's coat in all its brilliant hues.'
