An example Of extravaganza by o
well known millionaire who built him.
self castle in one Of the English mid
land counties is reported by The English
Illustrated Magazine. The water Of the
place was pure and sufficient, but case
of scarlet fever ocs7rring in the village
at a little distance from his residence
he took dislike to the local water sup
ply and at cost of over $400, 900 pro-
vided himself with fresh supply from
distance Of 18 miles. Without children
or wife and a great traveller, he does
not inhabit his own country place for
more than three months in the year
Although he drinks no wine, his water
is an expensive beverage. Allowing only
per cent on the money, with 1 per
cent sinking fund, his water costs him
$3.50 for every day he visits his castle
This supply, it should be added. is linn
tied to the one house. There is really
no reason why it should be shared with
others, for the local supply is ample
and Of good quality.

The Chicago Federation of Labor has
just granted a somewhat remarkable
request Of the boot and shoe workers
The delegates from that union asked the
adoption of q resolution precluding
all but wearers of union label shoes
from participation in the coming Labor
day parade. When the entire serious
ness Of the request was realized, it was
granted, and all wearers of nonunion
shoes will be required by an appointed
committee to fall out Of line next La
bor day. The affair has given rise to
some talk as to the union label. The
Eight Hour Herald (Labor), Chicago.
says: 1--WE hasten to congratulate the
shoe workers on their newborn zeal in
support Of the union label. As we have
remarked in these columns ON number
less occasions, the union label is worthy
Of all the attention that workingmen
can give it. 1t is weapon which IL
properly used will work tremendous
benefits to the cause of organized labor.
It Is more effective than the strike or
the boycott. The shoe workers should
see to it that the public Is made famil-
lar with the list of firms handling un-
ion made shoes. or at least that the list
should be made accessible to all inter-
ested in the matter. Public Opinion.

Tho Method By Which the insect Eml
Its Booutiful Light,

Tho Method By which the Insect Emits
Its Beautiful Light,
"By what process do flreflies produce
the beautiful flashes Of light?" That is
question frequently asked, and an en-
tomological books fail to give salts
factory reply the following explanation
may be interesting:
have made special study Of the
light, and carefully examined the mech
anism of the illuminating segments in
both male and female specimens The
light emitted. when tested by the spec
troscope, gives a brilliant spectrum,
which Is continuous through all the
colors from the red to tho violet rays
The illuminating organs consist Of dis
tinct spherical cells, each one of
which is about 10000 of an inch in
diameter, and the beetle has power to
illuminate one or many of these cells at
will. producing light OF corresponding
intensity. The cells contain fluid sat
urated with phosphorus. and the cover
ing Of the cell is 30 thin that atmosphere
coming in contact with it may affect
the contentA
1t has been suggested that the beetle
produces the flashes Of light or renders
the phosphorus suddenly luminous by
electricity-by the injection of warm
fluids-or by friction. But it is certain
that the fash Of light is made in an
other way. We may clearly trace q con-
nection between the spiracles and
trachea (spiral air tubes) Of the beetle
and each Of the Illuminating cells, and
find that the little creature renders the
phosphorus contained in the cells lumi-
nous by forcing air upon them. The cells
when thus excited emit light from their
surface.
We may initiate the act Of the beetle
by dissecting one and placing the illumi-
mating organ under q microscope, COW
cred by thin glass cover. When the
cover is lifted so as to admit little air,
the cells become luminousL
We may add that the name ''firefly"
Is misnomer, as the lightning bug"
is true beetle, belonging in the natural
order caleoptera, and in the family
lampyrid@. I'D. < Winder In Detroit

The march Of schemes and invention
and the energy Of William J. Blan.
editor Of the Troy Gala. Daily Mssssn-
ger. have combined TO produce this ap-
parent phenomenon.
Mr.. Blan served In the Oonfoderats
army and came through without Z
wound But IL years ago Confederate
veteran's reunion was held q Troy,
md among other things the old ex-soi-
dieys indulged In . sham battle. Mr..
Blan was detailed TO load and llrs one
Of the oanDona During the nook battle
the cannon exploded prematurely, and
the heavy charge Of powder and wad-
ding blew both Of his hands on-the
left Just above the wrist. the other sev-
sral inches farther up the arm.
At this time Mr.. Blan was owner of
The Weekly Messenger, which he had
bought in 1873 and had succeeded In
putting on its feet by hard work. He
had large family Of young children,
and, like all other newspaper people In
this part of the land. he had lived
pretty we'll up to his income. He knew
no line of business excepting newspaper
work, and q man without either hand
Is ordinarily not very available about q
newspaper Office. He determined not
to allow his usefulness to depart with
the loss of his hands, however, and a.
soon az he had recovered sufficiently
from HE injuries to give the matter bis
attention he had made an ARTIFICIAL
right hand and a half forearm.
Il is q simple but ingenious oontriv-
ance. The artificial part Of the arm IL
arranged 20 as to be securely fastened
to the stump Of the right arm left by
the explosion. The hand. which is COW
cred by glove, appears perfectly nat
ural In shape and holds a pen or pencil
a. gracefully as any editors natural
hand. A stranger seeing Mr.. Blan at
work at his desk would never imagine

blood circulating through it. 20 thor
oughly has the editor got its operations
under his control.
BY means Of q cord, which passes
from his artificial arm up his right coat
sleeve, then across his back. then down
his left coat sleeve to the end Of the re-
mainder Of his left arm, Mr.. Blan is
enabled to close the fingers of his arti-
fetal hand and grasp his pen. By keep
ing his left elbow bent the tension on
the string is continued and the artificial
fingers hold the pen tightly. while the
editor controls its course over the white
paper by a movement Of the upper arm
and shoulder. By this means Mr.. Blan
has learned to write with the greatest
ease, and more rapidly and legibly than
the average man of his age who has
two good hands. For ten years he has
written with this mechanical hand
pr actically all of the editorials and a
very large amount of the local and ad-
vertising matter that has gone into his
paper. About six years ago Mr.. Blan
developed his weekly into q daily and
has been successful beyond his expecta-
tions. The daily entailed more work,
but the editor and the artificial hand
proved equal to the emergency. Chi

should properly be called, will be run off

contest between the District and the state
of Maryland. While the commencement Of
the series is made rather late, it is much
better than no races at all, and the trou-
Bile will be that the entire set will have to
be run off in g. month at the least. The
contest will be watched with interest this
year, and II Is the sincere wish of all of
the local riders that the District boys will
win. AS things now look, they stand an ex-
cellent show of capturing the trophy, ard
in all of their attempts it is safe to say
that they will not lack encouragement
On the other hand, the merits Of the Bal
timoreans must not be overlooked. The
best riders of that city will be selected,
and IL there are any better riders found in
the whole state. 1t is quite certain that
they will be used; Baltimore is anxious TO
capture the championship emblem, and IL
