Electricity Generated From Water.

From many observations and exper-
iments NJ. Phi. Lenard finds .sthat
drops of water falling upon water or
wet bodies generate electricity, the
water becoming electrified positively,
and the gas escaping negatively cleo
trifed from the force of the fall, and
light impurities in the water diminish
the effect considerably. The essential
conditions of identification are the
conclusions among the drops OF them
selves and against the wet rock, no
effect being due to the waters fall
through the air and its dispersion by
it. A jet of water falling from an in
sulated tank to an insulated pail cleo
trified the latter positively, while the
negative identification of the sur
rounding air grew to several hundred
vOlts.n

ployes follow up alternately the two
classes C METERS. AS the shad are re-
moved from the meshes the fish are
taken by the spawn-taker and carefully
examined to see if they are ripe-that
is, whether the eggs or milt are in a
condition to be expressed.
When a ripe female is found her eggs
are stripped into a pan and she is re-
turned to the fisherman to be sold as a
buck or a barren" The milt of a
male is then expressed we the eggs,
but, before he is thrown aside to be
sold as food, there is yet one more
duty required of him. The expressed
milt has gone irregularly over the
eggs and all are not fortified. To ac-
complish this the fish culturist stirs
the mass thoroughly with the tail of
the male. He is used for a two-fold
reason-frst, he is the handiest imple-
ment With which to do the work, and
secondly, the tail is so soft and pliable
that the eggs are neither broken nor
unduly shaken up.
AS soon as the ova are gathered the
fish culturist returns with them to the
Matching station. Here they are washed
and placed in the Matching Jars and
the water turned on. The flow OF the
latter causes the eggs to be kept con-
stantly in motion, thus preventing them
from adhering to each other. In two
or three days lie eyes of the little shad
appear and are distinctly visible as two
black spots; then the backbone shows
itself, and in a few days more the lit
tie creature breaks from it's prison and
struggles to the top of the mass Of
eggs. Then it is caught by the siphon
and carried into one of the aquaria.

1t is characteristic of the perversit,,

the Youths Companion. 1t is related
that a soiemn-faced Yankee woman
was once riding on the train from
Brookfield to Stamford, Conn. Some

This anecdote is much like a still
older one, which, in it's original and
proper form, came from Scotland. An
old Scottish woman was taking her
first Journey, to the very next station
on a railroad train. On the way a
switch was left open, and the train
went into the ditch with a crash.
AS soon as the old woman could re-
gain her senses and her tongue she
called out to the guard, who happened
to be on the same wrecked car:

1t is refreshing to turn to one inter
national marriage where the BRIDE
groom was not a fortune hunter. It is
that of the daughter Of Millionaire
Claus spreckles to Mr.. Watson, a San
Francisco broker, of English birth.
But h this was not a match
by the brides parents. They objected
strenuously and the couple eloped.
Papa Spreckles had settled a million
or Two on his daughter. She was a
h~lgh-spirited girl and did not want to
be %beholden to her papa for her fortune
since she had married without his con-
sent. Her husband told her he mar
ried her for herself and not for her
millions, and Mrs. Watson promptly
decided back to her father the property
he had given her to the tune of a
couple of millions. But then it is not
likely they will ever know the pangs
of want.

Jesse Pomeroy, who years ago was
given a life sentence in the Charles
town state prison for the murder of
two children, came very near escap-
ing from his quarters last Wednes-
day. With no tools except a piece Of
wire and a. few nails, he succeeded in
boring through the wall of his cell
until only a few bricks lay between
MIN and liberty. When discovered
IN his attempt to escape, he showed
no emotion whatever. Pomeroy was
only IA years old when he committed
the crime of murder, and he was then
regarded as the worst specimen of
youthful depravity ever known.
