The Egyptian Afterclow.

We all know what Egyptian dark
ness is, and that in most tropical coun-
tries sudden darkness after shutdown is;
one of the peculiarities. In Egypt at
certain seasons of the year there is q
marked exception to this sudden draw
ing OF the curtains of the Skies The
sun goN-; down and darkness comes on
very suddenly and continues for a
space of 20 minutes or half an hour.
Then, all of sudden, the illsand sands
take on CHASTITY paleness and in ar
other moment everything begins to
brighten, and it appears that the sun
is about to rise out of the west. These
tlnts OF golden, purple, orange and lilac
attain their maximum degree of bright
ness IN about ten minutes after thev
begin, and in 20 minutes everything has
faded into darkness and YOU are only
conscious of the fact that you have iust
witnessed the phenomenon known as
the Egyptian afterglow."

was struck by any of the bullets.
When the police arrived and succeeded in

THE INVESTIGATION.

The Legislative gommitIee at WOrk IN
shamoItin To-day.
The members of the Legislative Investigat-
ing Committee, appointed to make inquiry as
to the condition of the anthracite mine
workers. arrived at Shamokin last evening
They began their first session there this
morning at 900 o'clock. 1t is likely they
win remain there but one day.
The Sergeant-at-Arms says the committee
will visit Pottsville tomorrow, unless the
present program is changed At tho latter
place an effort will be made to ascertain,
from the officials of the company such in
formation on the subject of mining coal which
the committee failed to secure by examina-
tion of the employees here and at MahanOy
City.
Constable Michael O'Leary, of Shamokin,
yesterday served the subpoenaes, among the
number were a dozen or SO miners from Mt.
Carmel. The witnesses are reluctant about
appearing before the committee, as they are
compelled, since the Governor vetoed the bill
compensating the witnesses, to appear at
their own expense. This they cannot afford
to do.
The members of the committee however,
fare much better. A Hazeton exchange
says the members are paid as follows First,
$40 per day as members of the Legislature
secondly, their expenses, which means $40
more and, thirdly, 90 cents per mile for every
mile travelled. From this it will readily be
seen that there is no destitutOn, SO far as the
individual members of this committee are
concerned, and considering that this com
mittee returns to Harrisburg about once a
week, it is safe to presume that they earn on
an averape of $40 per dav -
