The GIouwerm,r X RAW.

The glowworm light is said to have
been shown to be due to the emission of
rays similar to Roentgen's. Three hun
bred glowworms were caught near
Kioto and placed before Photographic
plates screened from the light by sew
eral thicknesses of black paper, together
with plates of BRASS copper and alumni
ium. A piece of cardboard with hole
in ii was placed between the metal and
he Photographic plate, and for two
days the arrangement was kept in q
lark chamber, sheltered from all foreign
lights. On developing the plate it
was found TO be blackened, except the
part opposite the hole in the cardboard.
The rays of the glowworm would appear
therefore to penetrate metal and excite
luminosity in cardboard. When there is
nothing between the sensitive plate and
the glowworm, the rays are said to be-
have like ordinary light, but in travers-
ing some metals and cardboard they
seem to acquire properties like that Of
X rays, or it may be that the ordinary
glowworm emits X as we'll as ordinary
rays. Revue Scientifique

Laurence Franklin In the Providence

our women have the largest share of
beauty and the smallest amount OF
training among those one meets in the
French capital. They have no concep-
ton OF the value OF that quality which
the French call 'tenue,' and which EN-
braces the idea of manners, bearing,
and speech. Watch the American girl
in salon, on the beach at Dinard, or
in the Casino at Ostende. She Is in
yMiably the prettiest, and often the
best-dressed; but here her superiority
ends. She does not hold herself well;

HOW POMP WAS CONVERTED
Rainy Sunday mt Church, Where He
Was the Only sinner.


Dr. Payson, the famous and beloved
preacher Of Portland, Me-, used TO tell
the following pointed story:
One very stormy Sunday he went to
church, more from habit than because
he expected to find anybody there. Just
after he had stepped inside the door an
old negro came i'll and asked il DR.
Payson was to preach there that day.
explaining that he was stranger in
town aud had been advised to go to his
church
Upon that, said DR.. Payson, II
made up my mind to preach my sermon
ii nobody else came"
Nobody else did come, SO the doctor
preached to the choir and the old negro.
Some months aiterward he happened
to meet the negro, and stopping him
asked how he enjoyed the sermon that
stormy Sunday
''Enjoy dat sermon?" replied the old
man II 'clar doctor, l nebber heerd q

The Ukiah Hatchery.

One of the most interesting and in
structiye points TO visit in the beauti.
full little town Of Ukiah. the terminus
OF the San Francisco and North Pacific
Railroad, is the fish hatchery, which is
located in Gibson Canyon, about one
mile from the town. There is a we'll
graded road the entire distance through
most beautiful part of the country,
and the trip is interesting enough from
every point of view to warrant a visit
from every tourist who chances to find
himself in that locality.
During the season of 1891 Mr.. A. W.
Foster, president Of the San Francisco
and North Pacific Railroad Company.
being DESTROYS of adding to the attrac-
tions of the streams along the line OF
his road by thoroughly stocking them
with fish, caused to be built at Ukiah
a fish hatchery, having a capacity Of
two million eggs, and arranged with
the California State Fish Commission
to supply the hatchery with trout
spawn, with the agreement that the
fish should be planted in public waters.
The proposal to build hatchery met
with hearty sympathy and support of
the residents of Ukiah, and it took but
short time to complete the buildings
dams, etc, and grade a splendid road
up the canyon to the point where the
hatchery was located. A. V. La Motto
was chosen as superintendent, and H..
e. Mohn as assistant, and they were
soon busily engaged in Matching some
seven hundred thousand Mykiss eggs
that had been forwarded by the Fish
Commission from Lake Tahoe station
These were successfully Matched and
afterward liberated in the streams OF
Marin, Sonoma and Mendoeino coun-
ties. Two hundred thousand eggs were
again forwarded from the Tahoe hatch
cry in 1893, the majority of which were
successfully Matched and planted. In
addition to this, many eggs were taken
from Eel river by Mr.. La Motto, the
superintendent of the hatchery, who
established spawning station at Will
lifts, Mendocino county, about thirty
miles from Ukiah. The spawning sea-
son at that place commences with the
early rains in the fall, and the eggs
secured are of the variety known as
the Steel Head, while the ones sup
piled by the State Fish Commission
are taken in May and June, are of the
variety known as Mykiss or Cut Throat
Trout.
During the time the hatchery has
been in operation immense numbers Of
Try have been planted in the numerous
streams along the line of the road, the
good effects of which are apparent al
ready. Visitors to the hatchery will
be received with every courtesy and
shown the numerous attractions of the
place.
The San Francisco and North Pacific
Railroad is the only railroad corpora
ton in the United States which owns
and operates its own fish hatchery, and
deserve much credit for their enter
prise.
The continual whipping of the
streams in the northern counties has,
without doubt, depleted, to certain ex.
tent, the waters, but it is certain that
under the plans now being followed
out by the company that within 9
very short time the three counties
above mentioned will furnish fishing
equal to that of past years and an at
traction to anglers which will b.
second to none in the State.

the face of his foe with shame. He ex

way his antagonist can get even with
him is by tearing up greater number

they have, each Indian destroying his

watched her closely, but her pulse con-

extremely weak and could not stand
the least noise or excitement. In this
condition of affairs they were recon-

They did so, and almost from the first
dose Bertha began to improve. She

means of those pills made entirely well,

Dir. Williams Pink Pills have proved

cles grow elastic, ambition is created
