LUMINOUS FLOWERS.

A correspondent draws the attention Of
Science SJtiHgs to n very curious phenome-
non which came under his notice last week
in his garden. One evening about half past
eight O'clock, while looking at q red Oriental
poppy, tho correspondent noticed persistent
scintiIlntiOns of a BLUSH colour-like q play
of summer lightning-proceed therefrom
this continued for about half al hour, when
no further trace CT it was to be seen. On
The following night, however, q similar dis
play took place about the same time and
on subsequent evenings during the week the
same phenomenon was remarked by q num-
Der Of observers-and orented no small
degree Of establishment in their minds. Tho
explanation of this curious phenomenon is
to be found in what is cnlled fuorescence.

WHAT CAUSES sUNSTROKE.

From the important researches of Dr.
Luigi SambOn on the etiology of sunsirOke,
recently published in the British Medical
Journal, it would appear that after Nil the
sun is not the cuIprit in bringing on this
mAlady, but that it is due to the presence
in some soils OF a specific organism, which,
however, has not yet been detected and
which is probably conveyed to the alimcnta-
Ty canal and lungs by dust. Dr., SNmbon
has brought forward some very strong
evidence to support his somewhat Startling
theory. For instance, exposure to very high
temperatures in the case Of ironworkers,
Stokors, &c, who are exposed to tempera-
lures higher than that of any known
climate, has never been known to cause the
disease. The Assam tea planters, and the
olosely-shoven Chinese, it is pointed ont,
are constantly exposed to the hottest sun,
and are equally exempt. One of the most
curious features about the disease is the
occurrence of epidemics, which have been
known to deoimate, hospital wards. In such
instances the generally accepted belief that
the malady has its origin from exposure to
The excessive heat of the sun. seems very
improbable; but the theory of Dr.. Sambon
that it is an infectious disease, due to q
specific organism, fits in with the observed
facts.

Of defence agains' these frauds, that it soon
became evident that the various states alone
could properly deal with the problem. Nearly
all the states of the Union have now arranged
for fertilizer inspection, the work as a rule
being lone through the State chemist ana
the various agricultural experiment stations.
This Of course requires expensive apparatus,
with q corps OF scientists to han'ilel the same,
but in the end results in the greatest posi-
Die economy to the Stale and TO all concerned.
Any farmer or planter now buying fertilizers
with a guaranteed analysis, car quickly have
The SUM verified at the State experiment
station, and obtain adequate relief from
frauds should any be perpetrated. 1t is to be
hoped that our whole agricultural community
will avail of these advantages and not allow
Louisiana to be made the dumping ground
for fraudulent fertilizers produced IN any OF
the other States of the Observation-Disclosures
Planter and sugar Manufacturer.

FRAUDS IN FERTILIZERS.

The value Of commercial fertilizers annual.
" used in the United States is estimated by
the u 8. Department of Agriculture at from
IS to 40 millions of dollars, and this industry
has been developed to those proportions with
in fifty wears. 1t is but natural that o bust
ness growing so rapidly and Offering such
opportunities and temptations for fraud and
IMPOSITION, should have become q field for ex.
tensive operations of INSCRIPTIONS and dis
honest men. Fraud became so prevalent IN
he various States that there arose an agent
demand for he control of the sale of ferliliz-
ers by the state, and this de mand arose from
Tie consumers who had been imposed upon by
fraudulent fertilizers and from those honest
manufacturers who felt that the frauds that
were being perpetrated by their INSCRIPTIONS
,ompetitors upon an unsuspectlng public
y,.vt dishonest manufacturers such an advan.
tape ms would drive honest competitors out OF
,be market unless The frauds were suppress
ed.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars have
bsen lost in Louisiana by the purchase OF
fraudulent fertilizers, or by the purchase OF
reasonably good fertilizers at an unfairly high
prize. A few years back the editor OF thus
journal. who had bought some high priced
fertilizers in New York. wrote to the manu-
facturer asking what percentage OF aVa''apie
uhosphoric acid he would guarantee III his

ment, but it is a very significant one.

MINERS
KILLED
BY the Fall of Loaded Cars
In A Coal Mine In
Pennsylvania.
DISTRESSING SCENES
Around the Mine As the
Dead and MangIed Men
Were Brought Up To
the Top.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 5.-Three cars
laden with coal fell down a hoisting
shaft at the Exeter colliery at Wyom-
ing this morning, crushing seven men
to death, and fatally injuring three
others.
The accident was due to failure of
the brakes to work at critical time,
and the cars stopped down the shaft,
completely blocking it.
Rescue parties were organized and
went into the mine through the air
shaft. They found that seven of the
ten men whe had been at work at the
scene of the accident were dead and
that three others were fatally injured
The dead and wounded were brought
to the surface where the injured were
cared for.
The scenes around the mouth of the
mine as the dead and injured will
brought up were most distressing.
The loaded cars ran into shaft and
fell 300 feet upon a cage containing
men who were being lowered to their
work.
All the victims are foreigners, Poles,
Huns, and Slavs, all employed as min
ers and laborers.

The British Are Looking Out For
Their Coal Supply.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-An additional
force of 100 men arrived at the Daven-
port docks this morning to expedite the
coaling OF ships that are being put in
readiness for sea. The roster of the
Davenport yard shows that there are
1000 men there. Beyond the usual
Sunday leave none are permitted to go
away.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-A dispatch to the
Central News from Glasgow says that
pressing inquiries have been received
there for steamers to carry coal to
Gibraltar, Bermuda, and Sierra Leon,
and efforts are also being made to Sec
ure stokers and artifcers for the navy.
Recruiting in the Scotch regiments
has shown a marked increase since the
defeat of the dervishes at Omdurman.

AMERICAN EXHIBIT

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 5.-A Paris
cablegram received at the headquar-
ters in this city of the Paris Exposition
commission, states that Commissioner
General Peck sails for home today af-
ter five-weeks' stay in the French
capital in which period he has sue
ceeded in securing the concession of
$4,000 additional feet of space for Am
erican exhibits.
This makes the total amount of space
secured by the United States 10000
square feet, which exceeds that allot-
ted to any other country. Mr.. Peck
and his assistants will bring all of the
plans and elevations to Chicago with
them, and the distribution of space
to exhibitors will commence at once.

THE fight that has been inaugurated
by the railroads against the Texas
state railroad commission bids fair to
be one of the most hotly contested in
the history of the state. The fight has
been brewing for long time, and the
sntagonism on the part Of the railroads
has, according to them, resulted from
long list of abuses and alleged unjust
rulings. AS the case will surely
be carried to the court of last
resort, 1t will be one that the country
will follow closely, as involving in all
probability the whole question OF state
control OF railroads. Certain it is that
the state commission will fight the rail-
roads to the bitter end. Judge Reagan
recently said that il the railroads enter
upon a systematic fight against the rail-
road commission, the commission will
undertake a systematic campaign
against the railroads to see if state
laws against watering stock and other
vicious practices can. not be en-
forced.

A Complimentary Vote.

Western Texas is so infre quently
recognized in state politics, that when
such occasions arise, local sentiment
ought to be sufficient to rise above par
tisanship and show its appreciation
Judge 81. II. Neill, citizen of Ell Paso,
has been nominated by the democratic
party for the Office of judge OF the
court of civil appeals for this district;
his standing when a practicing attor-
ney here was the highest, both for in
tegrity and learning. 1t would be
gratifying to the judge to receive
large vote from his home place, and es
he has no opposition for this place, his
many friends ought to remember him
with a complimentary vote.

LIEUTENANT.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Efforts to locate
Princess Louise of CoburR and Lieut.
enant Mattachich-Kegliv the
young Hungarian officer who was CO.
respondent in the recent divorce suit,
have so far proved fruitless and the be-
lief is gaining ground that the pair
has taken passage for America nnder
assumed names.
Early this week she mysteriously
disappeared from the residence which
her father, the king of the Belgians,
gave her, and curiously enough the
young lieutenant deserted and disap-
pearea from his regiment at the same
time.
The Austrian and Belgian press
censors have forbidden all reference
to the case, but it is learned that the
princess has not yet been found.

new USE OF THE X RAY
Which May Do Away With
the Common Printing
Processes Almost
Entirely.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Paris dispatch
es contain accounts of a remarkable
French invention, letters patent for
which have been issued, and which
will, If successful, absolutely revolu-
tionize modern methods of printing in
almost all it's varied branches.
The inventor is George Izambard, OF
Paris, and ,he describes his invention,
In broad sense, as method of utiliz-
ing the X-rays for topographic pur-
poses, as we'll as the reproduction OF
diagrams, pictures, etc.
In other words, it is claimed that the
new process will do away altogether
with the striking off by the printing
machine by simultaneously and in
simultaneously printing on both sides
by means of the X-rays, of numerous
sheets of sensitized paper, superposed,
in quires or blocks newspapers, trade
papers, etc., whatever their size may
be.)
Composition, it is claimed, will also
be largely suppressed as the process
will allow mere handwriting or any
kind OF a writing machine to supply
the place of the laborious and compli-
Gated work of typesetting.
In technical language the invention is
thus described: 1t consists in a ray
proof substance with which characters
are to be traced upon a screen made of
sheet of paper, pasteboard or tiseus
drawn over a framework. The screen
is placed between sthe radiant
center and the block of sheets
to be printed upon. The
characters alone stopping the X-ray
on their way will prevent their acting
on the sensitized emulsion spread over
every sheet on the block, whereas the
remainder of the screen being of pa
per, will let the rays through as q
plate glass does ordinary light.
The inventor claims that by his pro-
cess newspapers may be ''run off" more
rapidly than on the most improved
printing presses.

eye for the beautiful will derive much
pleasure in visiting the new store and

THE number OF representatives AL

benefit to the city to have q large re-
presentation In the democratic state
convention, as signal advantage In
recognition is often gained by the

gested by some local 'oe
mocrats that the republicans this year

In order to increase the representa-
tion in the conventions. The repuo-
licans have no one to vote for for gov

speaking, q fit man for any republican
to vote for. He has made his campaign.
largely on national issues. why ne
should do this Is not easy to see, unless
he felt that on state issues he was not
as strong with the mass of the people
as he might be. So far as he has ex-
pressed himself upon state issues, his
views are generally sound, and merit
no great opposition. AS compared
with Gibbs, his views are Iexas
views. But on national issues Sayers
Is as dangerous as they make
them. He Is OF the rankest breed
OF free silverites. He clings to the
Chicago platform, that miserable pro-
gram of infsmy, as to the last ray OF
hope--st least he says as much. He
denounces all those who have tried to
make it appear that he had sense
enough to refuse to be bound by the
siron clad oath" and that he did not
endorse the Chicago platform in it's
entirety, with all its baseness. No, he
would not go before the people so. He
preferred being q democrat to being
patriotic in the truest sense. In re-
cent speech at La Grange, Tex, Say
ers, speaking of the race in the tenth
district, was loudly applauded at each

not find any reason to attack his op-
ponent, but he concluded by saying,

with no republican opponent, and moth
ing to lose in voting for Ssyers (Sayers
might be dangerous in the senate this
winter, but he can do no damage to the
country in the governors chair we
suggest that local republicans cast
their votes for Ssyers for governor.
