OF ELEcTRoIo
New Substance That Makes Plants
Grow Visibly Discovered.

Francis Rychnowski, u mechanical
engineer of Lemburg, Austria, has dis
covered u strange aud very subtle mat
ter, which he has called 'electroid," be-
cause OF certain affinity with cleo
tricity. Electroid, produced by
special apparatus built by the inven-
tor, IL obtained by the dissolution of
certain matters under the influence of
the electric current il makes noise
and at the same time u refreshing
scent and cool breeze are experienced.
This discovery induced Mr.. Rych-
nowski to make n machine capable of
refreshing the air to such a degree
that those present during the expert
ment had the feeling that the window
was open. although this was not the
case.
Electrold Is a very subtle matter, but
II seems to be n fluid. and It can be
gathered and preserved, while falling
on plate II reflects in shape OF
shining sheaves.
The commission appointed by the
Austrian Government to investigate
this discovery reported that. under the
influence Of electrold, plants grow
rapidly and the buds of flowers I'M
close while one is looking mt them.
Electroid annlhllntes microbes and
thus preserves organic matter These
are physiological Influences of cleo
trold.
Among mechanical phenomena the
commission reported that the influence
Of electrold il not stopped even by a
brick wall and glass; that 1t attracts
solid bodies and makes them shine like
moonliGht--it makes them move and
attract other bodies. finally that ~

Forest and Stream contains the fol-
lowing contribution from a Quebec cor
respondent concerning the habit moose
and caribou have OF going to the same
place, season after season, to shed
their antlers.
THE idea of the animals seeking u
definite place for this purpose was
quite new to me, but lately the eff
cient Superintendent OF Game and
Fisheries at Quebec, l.. Y. Joucas, Esq,
has told me that they do frequent such
places, and that this habit was quite
well known to him. He knew of many
and mentioned several places where
horns could almost certainly be found
at any time. And not only do they go
to shed their borns, but they go there
TO die. These places are known as
cemeteries, and whole skeletons are
occasionally found. This, however
would be rare. as the bones would us
ually be torn apart and scattered by
bears and other carnivorae.
"Mr Joucas instanced the case OF
gentleman going to certain region for
geological exploration, who asked for
a permit to shoot moose out OF sea-
son In order to get good pair OF ant
lers. He was told that by dlverglng a
little from his route he might reach a
place where he would find plenty of
them. He did so and secured five ex-
cellent specimens.

Nine persons out Of ten-yes, 900 out

takes the earth to turn once on It's axis
would answer twenty four hours, and
to the question: How many times

times. Both answers are wrong. Ii

tifty-siX minutes for the earth to make

STORY OF MOCHA COFFEE
800 Years Ago Arabs and Indians
We're Taught to Make the Drink.


Mocha is not alone the name of
kind of coffee, but also port (Ye-
mem on the Red Sea. The patron
saint of both was Scheile Schoedeli
whose memory Is venerated by the
MahOmetans almost AZ much as that
of Mahomet himself.
One day, 800 years ago, vessel
from the Indies cast anchor In the
port. Those ON board had noticed
hut. and they disembarked to see what
1t was.
The shelk (for it was his dwelling)
received the strangers kindly and gave
them some coffee to drink, for he was
very fond of 1t and attributed great
virtue to It,
The travellers, who had never seen
coffee before, thought that this hot
drink would be u cure for the plague.
Schoedell assured them that through
his prayers and the use OF this drink
that not only would the plague be
stopped, but also that If they would
unload their merchandise they could
make good profit by 1t.
The owner Of the ship was impressed
by this strange man, especially as he
found the coffee so palatable. On the
same day large number of Arabs
came to listen to the hermit's preach
Ing. and among them We're some mer-
chants who purchased all the goods on
the ship.
The Indian visitor returned home
and telling his strange adventure and
profitable trading, many of his com
patriots came TO visit the sanity
Schoedell.
A beautiful mosque was built over
the tomb of Schoedeli after his death,
and his name will never be forgotten
so long AS Mocha coffee Is drunk All
Of the Moslem oofreehouse keepers ven
crate him, mentioning his name in
their morning devotlons. Travellers
say that IN the town of Mocha or Ocha
as the Arabs call 1t, men take their
oath, not by God, but by the memory
OF Schoedell.

How 'the Student Fritz and Jenny
Lind Sang Together.
On a summers night the prince was
returning with a few companions from
a ramble near Rolandseck, says Mac
millan's Magazine. Some one suggest
ed a supper at the local inn. "All
right" said the prince, $50 long as
you drop his royal highness and re-
member that my name is Fritz" On
as of a siren held the young men in
thrall. Mine host protested not to
know the singers name. Once more
the liquid notes thrilled into the night.
The student Fritz sprang from his
seat. 1T is Jenny Lind" he cried; sit
can only be Jenny Lind" He dashed
into. the adjoining room; it was Jenny
Lind. The great songstress felt that
she ought to be angry~at the intrusion,
but it is difficult to be angry ON a
summers night at Rolandseck. The
end of it was that she found herself
at the piano singing national songs to
a delighted audience of three unknown
students. IF I had a voice like the
nightingale of Sweden" said the stu
dent called Fritz, II would sing the
song of Blucher's Hussars." "Sing 1t
to me-" said Jenny Lind. 81 know that
all German students can sing" Fritz
was nothing loath; all the fervor of
his patriotism rang out in the STIR
ring refrain in which the warrior-poet,
Ernst Moritz Arndt, had given voice
to the spirit of the wars of liberation.
"A song like that carries n away
with it," said Jenny Lind. II should
like to try it." Then the young prince
again seated himself at the piano to
teach the greatest singer of her time
he song to the music of which he was
to lead his troops to victory at Weisen-
burg and Worth. She was not long
learning it. Like the roll of an or
gan and the clash of BELLS" says the
chronicler, "the magnificent voice rang
out over the whispering river" When
her new friends were taking their
leave Jenny Lind asked her teacher
to tell her his name. At that moment
the door was thrown open and a tall,
white-haired figure entered the room,
Ernst Moritz Arndt," whispered the
students in respectful welcome. Eyes,
Ernst Moritz Arndt," he answered;
"and if you, fair singer, ask that mans
name, | will answer for him; he Ia
called his royal highness Prince Fred
erick William Of Prussia"
