Yes, there is no doubt about that,

ficulty in finding him."
Did you learn whether money could

"Oh, yes; there is no difficulty about
that. The money - deposited in bank

Then we will leave 5000 in the

he will be glad to do that"

All, but that is the one thing he must

The Dragon Fly.

One of the most useful insects is.
owing to the ignorance of the public,
forever being killed. 1t is known as
the dragon-fy, the needle case and the
devils darning needle. Says writer
of authority: "In its larval state il
subsists almost entirely on those small
squirming threads which can be seen
darting about in any still water, and
which hatch out into the sweet-singing
mosquito. As soon as the dragon-fy
leaves its watery nursing ground, and,
climbing some friendly reed, throws
away the old shell and flies away. il ia

dragon-by. They all thought it had an

no one is safe, unless protected by some

he not only refused to charge the par

great surgeons, he has a good deal of the

mot long ago he got bone felon on the
middle finger Of his right hand and it
troubled him a good deal. 1t kept him
awake at night and, of course, he would
not work with it in that condition. The
other doctors on the staff told him to have
1t lanced, but he could not see the neces-
sity. Finally it got so bad that two or
three of them said that IL it was not
treated as bone felons always are treated
he would lose the finger and possibly the
entire hand. Still he moaned dolefully
and shook his head.
Then his son, who Is a student at the
hospital, determined TO have matters

surgeons to his house. They found papa
in the garden, pacing up and down like a
Gagged hyena, holding his hand above his
head and yowling like dissipated cat by

had come to cut the felon open, whether
he wished 1t or not. He started to run
into the house, but they got between him
and the steps. Then ensued a sprinting
match around the garden-two doctors
and a student chasing one of the most dis
tinguished surgeons Of the country. He
is middle-aged and fat. Finally his son
tackled him low down with foot ball

on him and in a second his arm was PIN

formed from impurities or ash volatized
from the charcoal. This may serve as
suggestion for the production Of a dbrous
material which will stand much higher
temperature than asbestos. The next eX-
pertinent was conducted in the following
manner: The same form of furnace was
employed as that above described, except
that no charcoal was used, the furnace
being entirely empty. simultaneously with
the passage of the electric current through
the furnace, a current of Illuminating
gas from the street main was passed
through the graphite crucible into the
furnace and out at the bottom. At the
end OF about two hours the electric cur
rent was turned Off the furnace allowed
TO cool when it was taken apart as
before There was found upon the carbon
rod the same crystalline formation as In
the first instance, and which appeared
under examination to be of the same
character as that first formed Unfortun-
ately ] was unable to continue my In
Vestigations, owing to the fluctuations in
the current occasloned by my work caus
ing trouble with the electric light supply
in the neighborhood, so that the expert
ments had to be stopped. Owing to the
heating of the leads, which were made
quate for the work, and to the violent
boiling of the water in a hogshead en-
ployed as a resistance, it was impossible
to keep the current as long as | would
have liked, 1t is possible that more re-
suits would have been attained.
am expecting soon to take up the work
again, and it Is my intention not only to
continue the experiments under atmos-
pheric pressure, but to surround the car
bon rod or flament during the passage of
the electric current with an atmosphere of
hydro-carbon and carbon vapor under an
exceedingly high pressure, say 10000 to &c.
0O0 pounds to the square inch. OF course.
commercial diamonds may be produced
without high pressure, but, reasoning from
analogy, the fact that pressure has been
shown to assist in the formation of crys-
taline carbon, it appears to me likely that
high pressure will be of very material adj
vantage. This pressure may be applied
by the volatization Of hydro-carbon mat
ter in the furnace, or by forcing into the
furnace a hydro-carbon gas under suita-
BILE pressure. In regard to the form of fur
mace that would be employed for working
under high pressure, a strong steel cylin-
der made, from a section of an old gun
would be suitable. A study of the breech
mechanism Of a cannon may offer some
suggestion for closing a port to the fur
mace. The interior of the furnace must be
lined with magnesite, or other refractory
substance and non-conductor of heat. The
high pressure electric furnace, in addition
to it's application to the production Of dia-
monds, will probably be found to serve
useful purpose in the production of rare
carbides, or carbides Of metals which, I'M
der atmospheric pressure, become volatil-
ICED before reaching a temperature suf-
fciently high to react with carbon.

CHANGE OF COLOR IN ANNALS.
Some of the Reasons For 1t and
Some of the Mysteries of 1t.
Fran Our Animal Friends


Observation and experiment so to show
how large an Influence food has in deter
mining the color of animals. Everybody
knows how easily the color of the yellow
canary may be altered to an orange red
by mixing cayenne pepper with its food,
though it is true that the color change
may be produced only in very young birds
whose feathers are not completely ma
tured. 1t is also matter of experiment
that all varieties OF canaries are not
equally susceptible to the influence of the
pepper, and ii Is a very curious fact that
il the pigment that causes the red color
Of the pepper be mixed with the food of
the birds, without the other constituents
yeiow-colored canaries are not in the
slightest desIoe affected by it, while
brown birds or the brown feathers of yell
low birds become distinctly lighter in hue
Here is another interesting experiment:
The large tortoiscshell butterfly normally
feeds upon the leaves of the elm, while
the small tortoiseShell is addicted to net
ties, but when some images of the large
tortolsesheil were bred from caterpillars
that have been found upon nettles they
showed a wonderful similarity to the
smaller Species though the color was
nearer to that of the larger. quite in the
same line is the observation that the thorn

ing as the larva is fed upon oak, haw-
thorn, lime or lilac Many other expert
ments have shown similar effect of food
III modifying or completely changing the
color of animals.
Among the changes Of color that are
most perplexing, if one would refer their
cause to utility only, is that of the gull.
which is blue and white, and is, therefore,
generally allowed to be of protective val
ue. But for the first three years of their
lives several common species of gull have
brownish speckled plumage, which is
totally unlike trPt of the oder birds, on
which fact Mr.. Beddard remarks: "If one
color be advantageous. the other must be
the reverse, and three years is either a
considerable period, or it is not long
enough"
Another perplexing part of the subject
is the color of deep-sea animals. 1t is an
established fact that marine animals can
and do live a the enormous depth of more
than five miles below the surface of the
water. 1t is also certain that the sun
light does not penetrate to that depth, so
that the animals that exist there exist in
more than midnight darkness. Yet the
fact is, that brilliant colorations are gen.
orally found in them. OF what use can it
be? How can natural selection or sexual
selection have 2nything to do with it?
IL is true, indeed, that there may be phos-
phoreseent light emitted by the animals
themselves; and of this there are many
evidences, but though the deep-sea fish
may be guided to its prey by a series Of
natural "bul.scye'' lanterns, the color OF
its prey could have no protective effect
but exactly the reverse.
