Studying That Produced by Animal

The incandescent electric light wastes,
and throws away 90 per cent. of the en-
ergy utilized, only two per cent. ap-
pearing in the shape of light rays. On
the other hand, the light emitted by the
FREELY and the glow worm wastes but
two per cent. In other words, the ami
NAL light is 4S times cheaper.
In the course of recent experiments
DIR. Raphael Dubois, of Lyons, has made
elaborate studies OF a great many kinds
of light-producing creatures. There is
no lack of them in nature; in fact, thou
sands of species possess this curious
photogenic power. Not a few plants
also have it, and among the latter may
be mentioned certain mushrooms that
grow in Brazil and Austria. Some of
them give enough light to make it pos
s5ble to read by the aid of a single speci-
men. The luminosity frequently seen
in autumn in the forests on dead leaves
or on bits of wood is due to fungi. The
yellow flowers of the nasturtium emit
small amount of light. But in the an

WHEN Mr.. LEWIS ENTERS.

Two Doors Admit the Visitor, and th0
Senate Chamber Is Impressed.
The character of the present congress
is ]. Hamilton Lewis. He is a character
not to be comprehended all at once. He
grows upon you. It takes some time
to realize how strange he is. His ex-
travagance of dress and his attitude
first attract attention. When he enters
the house, no matter what is doing,
every eve instinctively turns toward
him, like the eyes of the audience in
theater turn to the leading man when
he breaks through the throng of minor
actors.
Mr.. Lewis visits the senate frequent
ly. There is nothing more dramatic
than his entrance into the presence of
that august body. He never by any
chance enters through one of the side
doors. The senate may be engaged in
a heated debate or deeply absorbed in
a bewildering schedule of the tariff bill.
Suddenly a sense of something hap
pening comes upon everyone. People
in the galleries look down and the in
terest of the senate is arrested Both
the swinging doors of the main entrance
at the head of the center aisle, facing
the vice president, swing open and Mr.
Lewis appears. The doors close be

under the archway, his hat and gloves

WANT TO HUSH IT UP.
Relatives of Miss Bayless r ~ to
Suppress the Legal Sequel
to the Scandal.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 9.-Relatives of
Miss Amelia Bayliss Of st. Louis, who
was assaulted in carriage by J. +.
Liebke, also of st. Louis, have been en-
deavoring to hush the matter zap, but
without success. In the police court, Miss
Bayliss' uncle, Caron Cornwall, informed
the prosecuting attorney that they pre-
ferred dismissing the case to having the
notoriety of a trial
L fully appreciate said Judge Thomp-
son. the young Woman's feelings and her
desire to avoid as far as possible the no.
tOrlety OF appearing in court. If L could,
l would dismiss the case on her account,
but L cannot do so. If the facts are as
they have been represented to me, the
safety of society and OF the women of
Louisville demands that such a man be
punished to the fullest extent. There is
but one place for him, and that is the
penitentiary, and he should be sent there
for twenty-one years. Miss Bayliss has
no right to let such man escape, and l
am of the opinion that she has been
wrongly advised by her friends. Let this
case be continued until Monday and sum-
mon all necessary witnesses. Let his
bail be fixed at $5OO0.'
Liebke virtually admitted the assault,
but said he was drunk. He said he had
been engaged to the girl, and that she had
encouraged his attentions. He succeeded
in giving bond this evening and was
released from jail

DESTROY HUMAN BODY.
Experiment with Boiling Potash is
ceSSful-Affects the
LUetgert Case.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. THE experiment
Of destroying a human body by use of
crude potash was successfully carried
out today. The body was destroyed
with the exception of a few small
splinters Of bone, in two hours. Of the
Of fluid about the consistency of mo-
taSses remained.
The experiment was made under the
orders Of the prosecution in the case of
Adolph Luetgert, the rich sausage man
ufacturer, who is charged with murder
ing his wife and disposing of her body
n the watts at his factory.
The theory of the prosecution was that
Luetgert placed the body of his wife in a
solution Of potash and cold water, raised
the solution to boiling and destroyed all
traces Of his alleged crime. A few small
bones were said to have been found in Il
vat in the factory.
circumStantial evidence about the sausag
maker. and the fact the body could thus
be destroyed has been disputed. Today's
test settles that point beyond a doubt.
The cadaver was cut Up. placed in the
solution. the fire was started and in a
short time the flesh had completely dis
solved. The frame did not melt so quick
iy. but at the end of two hours nothing
remained except few splinters ana
small amount of the fluid.
The attorneys for the state were entire
" satisfied with the test and believe the
last link in the chain of circumstances
has been found to convict Luetgert of his
alleged crime.

MINERS MUST STRIKE.
They will be Called Upon to Lay

Ishpeming. Mich, Aug. 81 Special. i
President Nudge and Secretary Wasley,
the most active members of the Mine
Workers union, are going to have Il diff
ticult time getting all the men of Ish-
peming and Negaunee in line by August
%, when the unionistS are under inStruc-
lions from the organization to Lay down
their tools aud refuse to work with nom
union men. Many of the prominent
miners who have heretofore been active
in the interest OF the union are opposed
to the movement and will work against
it fully as hard as the officers are work
ing for it.
1t is now quite certain that the mine
bosses will not accedc to the wishes of
the union. They will be with the nom
uniOniSts, though they will not use inhu-
ence against the organization. 1t is gen
orally admitted by the union men that
the organization is in Il bad way inan-
cially. Many of the members have not
paid dues for a year past. consequently
there is very little left in the treasury
to pay the salaries of paid officers.
1t is certain that the mass meeting
called for next Sunday at Negaunee will
be quite spirited, as some of the miners
assert that they will be on hand to OPP
pose the movement suggested by the
union Nudge and Wasley are doing
all they can TO keep the men in line and
they have succeeded in winning many

CHALLENGES PRINCE HENRI
Officers of an Ill-Fated italian Regi-
ment Defend Their Work in
AbysSinia.

Paris, Aug. Lieut.. Boppa, the only
surviving officer of the Fourteenth bat
talon of Gen. Dabarmicidi's brigade of
the unfortunate Italian expedition
against Abyssinia, has challenged Prince
Henri of Orleans in consequence of the
latter's structures upon the conduct of
Italian soldiers in Africa.
This is the third challenge received by
the prince for the same cause. Gen.
Albertone and Lieut.. Pima have pre-
cedent over Lieut.. Boppa in the matter.
Gen. Dabarmicidi was one of the
italian officers killed in the battle of
Adowa when some 10000 Italian troops
were killed. Gen. Albertone also COM
manded a brigade in that engagement
which was fought in the latter part of
April, 1896, and aroused so much bit
ter feeling throughout Italy that for a
time it was believed the throne was in
danger. 1t is further stated that King
Humbert of Italy has entrusted his eld-
est nephew, Prince Emanuel Filiberto
Duke of Aosta, and husband of the
Princess Helena of Orleans, daughter of
the late Count of Paris, with mission
to the Orleans family, the object being
to prevent the duel between Prince
Henri of Orleans and Gen. Albertone.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 7.-[Special. j
great change III the standing of the West
ern league clubs. The Brewers held the
second position for two days and then
gave way to the Columbus team again.
The Brewers, however, have been play
ing good ball and with a little luck will
yet make a fine showing near the top OF
the list. The ST.. Paul club has braced
up little and is now playing better
game and unless the Brewers win right
along they are in danger of being Ousted
from third place. The Saints are meet
ing the easy ones now while the Brew
ers have the tOp-notchers to tackle. De-
troit has been playing a fast game and
will be in the hunt for fourth place before
long unless they have a severe fall.
Grand Rapids and Minneapolis are about
a tie for sixth place, while the Cowboys
hang to the tail-end position.
In the National league the race is a
pretty one and shows that the first five
clubs are very evenly matched. The
Bostons have the pace, with the Orioles
a close second. The Cincinnatis are a
close third and the New Yorks are max
ing a hard fight at the fourth quarter.
The BOStOnS are in danger from the Bal
timOres as the latter are playing a bet
ter game now than in the middle of the
season and they are strong fnishers. The
article of ball furnished in the big league
is excellent; that is, by the first six
clubs, but the others are playing no BET
ter than the Western league teams. 1t
is safe to say that some of the Western
league clubs are putting up a better ar
ticle than the tail-enders Of the big
league.

SPRY RUSSELL SAGE.
Celebrates His SD Birthday by

week, is credited with a financial coup.
las brought about u corner in Manhattan
stock.
Manhattan Elevated stock some months
ago became a popular target for bears,
along with outSpOken declarations from
Mr.. Sage that, as the Manhattan COM
pany was not earning the dividends it
was paying, it should pay less dividends,
and when the spring quarterly days came
around Mr.. Sage had his way and the
dividend rate was cut down.
Yesterday the stock jumped from 90 to
100. It has become a matter of comment
that certain prominent house are on the
short side of the stock. These reports
gained interest and became sensational
when it was announced that representa-
tiyes CT one of these big houses on the
short side had called upon Mr.. Sage and
asked him to let them have at private
sale over 10000 shares of Manhattan
stock with which to make good all or
part of their shorts.
Mr.. Sage had said to them: 81 am
not willing to let any of my stock go.
L have bought it because [ believe in the
property. If you are short of the stock
and want to buy, the only advice l can
give you is to go into the open market
and bid for what you want. Perhaps you
can buy 10000 up somewhere around par.
Perhaps it may cost you 10 or 20 points

BICYCLE TAX is VOID.
Judge Tuley Holds the Chic ago
Measure to be UnConSti-
tutiOnal.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. Judge Tuley to-
day decided the new city ordinance es-
tablishing a vehicle tax to be void. The
ordinance permitted the city to collect
81 a year license from each bicycle own
er and for other vehicles proportionately.
The court held that the city had no
right to license bicycles, but only an oc-
cupation, and could not impose IL
cense upon specific property when not
used in business Or in an occupation.
Counsel for the city took an appeal and
the case will be heard in higher courts.
The ordinance was passed for the os-
tensible purpose of raising permanent
street repairing fund. The new law
aroused much opposition, especially
among wheelmen. An injunction suit
was brought against the city and the en-
joining bill was sustained in Judge Tu-
ley's decision.
