An Accidental Discovery.

When Sir Humphrey Davy WAS bay
of sixteen, little girl one day came to
him in great excitement and asked why,
when she rubbed two pieces of cane
together, they should make spark of
light Humphrey was studious lad,
who spent hours in thinking out
scieLlific problems. He patted the
child's curly head and said: II do not
know, dear. Let us see if they really
do make light, and then we will try
TO find outwhy." He soon found that
the little girl was right; the pieces Of
cane, if rubbed together quickly, give
tiny light. Then he SET to work to
find out the reason; and after some
time-thanks to the observing powers
of his little friend, and his own kind
ness to her in not impatiently telling
her not to IVORY" as so many might
have done Humphrey Davy made the
first of his interesting discoveries.
Every reed, cane, and grass has an
outer skin of finty stuff, which pro-
tects the inside from insects, and also
helps the frail-looking leaves to stand
upright.

ENORMOUS DEATH DUTIES
Sid English Families May &c Ruined
by Them.

by Them.
In order to realize the terrible strait,
imposed by Sir William Harcourt's Sc
called death duties" which excited SO
much resentment among the land-own-
ing class OF Great Britain last year, it
may BE- mentioned that most OF the
territorial magnates, who. through the
death OF their father. or other near rela-
tives. recently have come Into posses.
sion Of the family property. have been
compelled by the burden thus imposed
upon them to close up their country
houses. and to let their shooting TO the
highest bidder.
Thus. when a few months ago, The
Marquis Of Bath succeeded to the en-
tailed estates Of his father, he was
forced by the death duties which he
had to pay on his fathers estate t. close
up Longlat, and to lease all the sp0rilns
privileges of the estate TO n city mef-
chant. and now it is ANNOUNCED iha'
the new Lord Saville (husbani Of iDl'
, pretty Mrs. Horace Helyar, who, VII"
her first husband, was connected WIZ

beautiful country seats 10 "the qua

to nearly $1,000,0OO.
The duties are exceptionally hea'! -

the new Lord SavIlle Is merely ~
| nephew instead Of the son o. ne te8ts
to-; and. secondly, because Of the inn
mense and extremely valuable art COL
lection gathered together by the late
lord. who was famous connoisseur.
Each of his pictures. each Of his pieces
Of bric-a-brac, has been valued by ex-
perts. and on every separate piece sue
cession duty has to be paid.
1t will readily be sen what n heavy
charge this Is upon any inheritance,
and one cannot help plying. to Ger
tain extent, the great landowners an
county families. They are debarred h
the laws Of entail from getting rid
any OF their treasures. In which the
have only a life interest. and yet ;
their death their estate is charged wit
succession duties thereon. II the pro.
erty happens to change hands MOI
than once in year the estate is, ,
course, charged with just double tn
amount OF duty, and the Duke of De
onshire and other opponents of II
death duties cannot be accused of ar
exaggeration in that they declared i
Parliament and from the platform ths
the duties in question. unless altered
will ultimately result in the ruin
every old family in England.
1t is understood that during the fortl
coming session the Salisbury Cover
ment will bring forward a measur
