Tipsy Bumblebees.

Mr.. T. L. Williams, in note in The
Journal Of Botany, points out certain
facts about bumblebees which will be of
interest to some humans. He says that
these insects often get drunk Their in
toxicating tipple is tho honey produced
by the crowded flowers of the capitulate
heads of certain composite and dipsa-
ssetn. When the stage Of intoxication is
reached, it is indicated by rolling OH the
back, striking the legs wildly in the air
and general helplessness.
The bees rapidly recovered from the
effects and i'll most cases were eager to
repeat tho dcbauch. But one individual
which had been shut up in vasculum
with copious supplies of ccntaurea sea-
biosa manifested the next morning a
praiscworthy remorso and disgust, rails
ing its head and fore legs as high rs it
could above the plants. then hurrying
away as soon rs released. The most dis
solute species is the neuter of bombus
lapiderius. The remorse probably indi-
Gates the presence of tho headache,
which in the highest animal of all is so
provocative of good resolutions.

Calhoun and FRYE.

Calhoun would not permit one senator
to refer to another senator as "my friend
from Virginia" or as "the gentleman
from Massachusetts - Tho correct
phrase was the senator from Virginia.
or "thc senator from Massachusetts. -
1t is said that it was worth a Journey
across the continent to hear Calhoun an
nounce vote in the senate. There was
more of the Roman in his look than in
any other public man of our history.
His eyes burned like Goals of fire, and
there was dignity enthroned in every
llneament and movement. When Cal
houn announced vote, he said in II
voice that penetrated the farthermost
recesses of the chamber, Senators, OH
this question the yeas arc - and the
nays arc. The ayes have it, and the
motion is agreed to-.
Frye is the only man have ever seen
preside over the senate who announces
vote with that imprcssivoncss we can
imagine Calhoun employed, and it is
doubtful if even Calhoun could utter the
word senators" with more rotundity
than Frye gives it. -Louisvillc Courier

ether.

The opinion held by many scientific
men that ether is simply very attenu-
ated form of matter was recently COM
batcd very ably by Professor Dolbear in
n lecture before the Boston Scientific
society. He based his position on CON-
parison of the qualities of matter with
those Of ether. In II particulars this
comparison was made, his purpose being
to show that matter has definite struc-
turc, the parts of which are different;
that there is certain calculable guam
tity Of it i'll the universe; that it is
heterogeneous; that ono particle attracts
another; that it is subject to friction,
has inertia, is chemically selectivc,
heatable, elastic and transformer of
energy. In all of these particulars it
differs from the ether, which is struc-
turelcss, unlimited in quantity and ho-
mogeneous, all parts being like all ether
parts. Nor is it attractive, or else itwuuld
have gathered i'll denser masses near the
sun and other large bodies, nor has it
any inertia or thermical relations. does
not absorb heat, and is not transformer
of energy. Finally, Professor Dolbear
points out, ether receives wave yibra-
lions and delivers them without loss at
their destination, and, again, matter
appeals to the senses, which ether does
not. -

CURRENT MlscELLAN

Tho Paris corresponde of the London
Morning Post quotes a description by q
French expert of the game of football
which reads rs follows: IS
Everybody knows that the game Of
football consists in projecting a ball
about as large as an apple through the
space between two posts about six yards
high which arc placed not moro than
one yard apart. The ball may. either be
kicked or thrown. No player may grasp
an adversary round the body, but every
thing else is allowed, even tripping uo
or the most brutal blows. When one
considers that the pitch is Of very lin
tied dimensions-20 yards by 25-ani
that the number of players is ~, it is
easy to imagine the danger run by tie
athletes who indulge i'll football. All
the players hurl themselves at the ole
who has possession of the ball. In tho
middle of the ground is stand for the
umpire, this being necessary SO that he
shall not be suffocated in the mary
brushes which occur Candles form
the principal part Of the game. This is
what is meant by candle: A PLAYER
takes the ball and throws it as high MS
he can into the air. When it cones
down, everybody kicks at once. Thus it
it very frequently happens that 'foot-
baller' receives kick in his face md
departs minus an eye. So there is nj
ways doctor in attendance. Every year
the victims of the Football association
are numerous. But, after all, nobody
will be astonishcd at the brutality of
the game knowing that it comes flom
Spain, the country of these SO sanguin-
airy bullfights. -
