rhe sorroxfui Tree.

There il . tree In Persia to which
the name ''the sorrowful tree" is
given. Perhaps because it blooms
only in the evening.
When the first star appears in the
heavens the first bud Of the sorrowful
tree opens, and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thickly stud the
sky, the buds continue gradually
opening until the whole tree looks
like one immense white flower. On
the approach of dawn, when the bril-
liancy Of the stars gradually fades in
the light of the day, the sorrowful tree
closes its flowers, and ere the sun is
fully risen. not a single blossom is
visible. A sheet of flower dust, as
white as snow, covers the ground
around the foot of the tree, which
seems blighted and withered during
the day, while, however, it is actively
preparing for the next Nocturnal festi-
val. The fragrance of the blossoms is
like that of the evening primrose.
II the tree is cut down close to the
roots new plant shoots up and at
tains maturity in an incredibly short
time.
In the vicinity of this peculiar tree
there usually grows another, which is
almost an exact counterpart of the sor-
rowful tree, but less beautiful, and
strange to say, it blooms only in the
day time. Philadelphia Inquirer.

ELECTRIC CAPSULES.

You Can Light Your Sleeping Apartment
From a Vest Pocket Battery.
One of the latest things out is the
electric capsule. 1t is not to be swal-
lowed like dose of nauseous medi-
cine, but can be carried about in the
vest pocket until an illumination is
needed, when by a simple process it
can be utilized to the satisfaction Of
the owner. A company has been
formed in New York with $15, 900, 900
capital to supply power or light in ton
or twelve grain capsules. One OF
these capsules will furnish electricity
enough to keep q light burning all
night. The assertion Is made by .
representative Of the company that the
light can BIO furnished at less than ono
fifth of mill per lamp per honr for
each sixteen candle incandescent globe.
The company intends to sell power at
10 cents an hour for one full horse
power. The capsules can be used for
propelling automobiles, and it is said
they will take up 80 little room and
weigh so little that the weight of au-
tomobles will be reduced materially.
A battery of the new power weighing
only $50 pounds can run an automo-
bile four and half times as long and
as far as the largest batteries now in
use, which weigh 1900 or 1900
pounds.
If all this can really be done, 1t will
revolutionize the automobile industry
and remove one of the strongest OBJ
jections to its use-its great weight.
Automobiles. as at present made.
weigh 1000 pounds and upward. the
heavy burden they are obliged to carry
for propulsion making 1t necessary 70
construct the carriages on the strong
est and heaviest scale. When one can
buy electricity in the same shape as .
box of quinine pills it will be possible
to use it for many purposes for which
it is unavailable at present. The
president of the company, John Post.
who is the discoverer of the new
power. says it can be used in the most
remote and isolated places as we'll as
in New York, and that q farmer can
employ 1t to heat and light his house,
to draw water, to make butter, saw
wood, run threshing machine. drive
fans and keep out dies. II it can do
all this men will no more think Of be-
ing without capsules than OF going
downtown without change In their

Chinese Visiting Cards.

The Chinese carte de. visite is o great
curiosity, consisting of large sheet of
bright scarlet paper and bearing the
name of the owner in very large let
tiers, the larger the better. The paper
is folded ten times and the name is
written on the right hand lower corner,
prefixed thus: Your unworthy friend,
who bows his head and pays his re-
spects," ''Your very stupid brother"
or something to that effect. In place
of 'Yours truly" :Your stupid" is
written on the Chinese card. The re.
turn of these cards to the visitor is
considered etiquette. They are too
costly for general distribution. 6oit

Electricity and Skin ColorIng.

1t has been noted that in the surgi-
cal uses Of electricity the color of the
skin has b zen changed, and there is no
doubt that the electric current has a
direct action ON the coloring matter or
pigment of the epidermis. Now it is
neither impossible, nor even improba-
BILE, that electricity acts on the pigment
since it always leaves behind it light
colored scars. Hence, to bleach a
