LUMINOUS SUGAR.
The Generation of Light Occurs Duh
ing the Process of Crystals
lixatiOn.

There are phenomena attending the
formation of crystals which are appar-
emily quite distinct from chemical ,ac-
ton. When, for example, hot saturat-
ed solution of arcenious acid is al
lowed to cool, the act of crysta' iization
is accompanied by a fash of light. As
each crystal FERNS there is short,
sharp glow, indicating the release of a
certain amount of latent energy in the
form of light radiation. A related
phenomenon would seem to be the case
when two pieces of cane sugar are
quickly rubbed together. The flash is
perfectly distinct and bluish-white in
color, the light extending into the sub
stance itself far below the surface.
Some interesting experiments on thi.
manifestation have recently been made
by Mr.. John Burke, NJ. A., the results
Of which were communicated to the
recent meeting of the British ->ssocia-
ton of Science at Bristol. By mounting
disks of loaf sugar on lathe and
projecting hammer on the rotating
surface an almost continuous iuminos-
ty was obtained. The wearing away
Of the sugar is compensated for by ar
ranging gradual approach OF the
piece to the hammer in exact accord
ance with the amount of sugar scraped
away. In this way the spectrum has
been observed and photographed. From
these observations it would appear
that the luminosity cannot be due to The
impacts, the indication being that the
light produced is due either to some
change in the configuration of the crys-
tails of sugar or to some sort of chem
ical action set up between the sugar
and the surrounding air at the freshly
formed surface. The fact, however,
that the surrounding medium does not
seem to affect either the color or in
tsnsity of the luminosity suggests that
the effects rot due to any influence of a
chemical nature of the surrounding
medium on the sugar, but favors the
former hypothesis that the lum. Mostly
is due to some structural disturbance
in the sugar itself. This ingenious and
pretty study is being pursued further
and the result should lead to some in
teresting observations. Light is SO
often a manifestation Of physical
change that it is probable some day we
shall derive it for illuminating pur-
posses IN q totally different, much SIM
per, and lessFclumsy way than obtains
at present.-J1ondon Lancet.

CURIOUS LITIGATION.

| Doubtless some very curious
lawsuits will grow out of the sale
of intruders places in the Chero.
kee nation, and the decisions OF
Judge Springer relative thereto.
Not long ago number of cases
were tried in the United States
court here involving the right of
the Cherokee nation to dispose of
this class of improvements to its
citizens by sale made by the Che
rokee sheriff. The Cherokee ma
tion was sustained and the sheriffs 8
sale declared to be valid. But ac-
cording to the Curtis law, certain
class of intruders were allowed to
sell their improvements prior to
December 81, 1898. An intruder
named January had such suit
here and lost it and with it posses
sion of the place. January claims
to have sold the place to man
named Fisk, and now Fisk has
filed suit in replevin to recover
the property traded for the place.
The stock law has been passed
by the Arkansas legislature, and
TT. Smith will hereafter celebrate
the day as Emancipation day.
Hogs, goats and the town cow have
so long ruled the municipality over
there that it had been a kind of |
slavery. Now children and women
can walk on the streets and side
walks without fear of being tossed
over fence by a COW or knocked
fown and eaten by the original
Arkansas razor back, which had
'ecome so numerous as to chase
men into the saloons and other
'laces they would not have gone

FULLBL0ODs ARE LOYAL.

The campaign which is to Civ,
the Cherokee people a chief exc
cutive is at hand. The aspect O.
the political field is somewhat
yes, very radically-different from
what it has ever been in this coun.
try heretofore. The conduct oi
the white and mixed blood politi-
clans has been such as to entirely
ALLEVIATE the iullbloods. The full
bloods seem to have pulled off and
are now going it alone. And who
can blame thsm7 Have they not
been hoodwinked and deceived by
their whltemanizing leaders? The
fullblood is natural patriot. He
has his faults, his weaknesses,
many of them; but there is one
thing Che is not guilty Of: he
has never been known to weigh
his country in the balance against
gold, Eor even to consult any ex-
pediency, however plausible, that
contemplated the least encroach-
ment upon his national integrity.
1t is useless to talk to him about
the glory of civilization, and COM
mercial expansion, and the pride
of empire; his own national exis-
tence is worth more to him than
all this catalogue of fine and glori-
GUS things.
With our white citizens, ,and some
Of. our progressive mixed -bloods,
the case is different. With these
the glory, and greatness, and good
ness, of the United States govern
ment is all sufficient to satify all
the cravings Of the political in
stinct They are therefore pre-
pared to eliminate from their inter-
est in the Cherokee nation the
entire element of patriotism and
deal with the next campaign as a
merely business, or financial, mat
ter. II is pretty obvious that the /
nature of the fight at the polls next
August, will be differing but little 1
from an alteration between loyal |
~ and mammon. Which of the {
Iwo sides is to win, is by no means t
beyond the ken of ordinary {
