A PHYSICAL WONDER.
A Man Who tias Not Eaten a MOrsel
 or Food Tor Ten Years.

Police Commissioner Murphy, just appointed as head of the New York police department, is a physical won der, in that for the last ten years he has not tasted food He smokes with his friends, talks with his friends and is a pleasant companion generally; but when meal time comes he is com pelled to retire to private room and pump specially prepared food into his stomach through silver tube inserted below his oesophagus.
 Colonel Murphy s case has attracted the attention and excited the wonder of the medical world. In 1889, in the midst of an exciting political cam paign. he was attacked with acute in digestion, which caused structure of the oeSophagus. He was unable to swallow anything. To prolong his life eminent physicians decided upon what they informed him might be a fatal experiment.. They decided to cut into his throat and afterward re- move. his stomach. After this opera tiOn he was fed for tifty-nine days in all unnatural manner. After this the stomach had healed, but the patient was almost dead from hunger. He weighed, before the operation, 240 pounds, and after it 96 pounds. Today he is falrly strong man.

A CURIOUS SPIDER.
Little Magician Trusts to a Trick En-.
tirelY for His Protection.

'1n Florida" said resident of Key
West to Washington Star writer the
other day, eve have curious large
yellow spider, which is remarkable
both for the ingenuity it displays in
constructing its web and the mar.
velous faculty it has for hiding itself
on the slightest approach of danger.
The insect swings strong web from
two plant twigs on each side of a path
or closed space Of ground, and waits
for his prey. The web is in the shape
Of hammock, and tapers at each end
to fine point, though quite broad
in the middle. The bright color of
the spider seems to mark him out fol-
destruction-he is so clearly defined
against the white sand and dead
leaves, that you wonder what he
would do for defense in case of at.
tack.
'Approach quietly, and he watches
you intently. Then if you raise your
hand suddenly he will disappear.
While you are wondering what be-
came of him you see first blur where
he had been, then several spiders,
then you catch sight again of the yell
low ball you noticed at first. Repeat
the performance and the stage effect
is renewed. The disappearance is alb
solute; there can be no doubt ahout
it, and the little magician trusts to
the trick entirely for his protection.
How is it done? Well, as soon as he
is threatened he starts the vibration
of his airy hammock; these become
too rapid for the eye to follow, and he
vanishes. As these become slower
you see blur, and then several spid-
ers as the eye catches him at different
points of his swing, until finally he
rests before you"

World Owes Much to the Genius Who
Emends.

Notwithstanding the repugnance
We all feel at the s'tinkering Of
hssnns," tits a singular fact that the
mcst popular ballads in the world are
patchwork, are composite compost
items with nameless authors and un-
known emenders. We refer, of course,
to the Scotch lyrics which are, it
is true, popularity assigned to Burns.
But Burns never claimed for himself
more than the credit of putting on
the last touch to a work which had
passed through innumerable emenda-
tons before his day. To some he
scarcely added more than line, to
others a witticism, to a third a re-
frain. But the final result is incom-
parable. Some of our most helpful
hymns had to be retouched before
they could become favorite> None
Of US would care to sing with Top
lady, "When my eye-strings crack in
DEATH" Whoever changed that to
when my eyelids close in death"
saved the hymn, one Of the most pre-
clous in any tongue. When Berkley
wrote. 'WestWard the course of en-
pire takes its way" that was not bad.
But when it was anonymously
changed to. WESTWARD; the star of
empire takes its way" that was better.
The world sometimes owes as much
to the genius that emends as to the
genius that creatos.-Chicago In

The Electricity ii the Air.

A new theory of atmospheric cleo
tricity has been established independ-
emily by Messrs. Ester and Geitel,
on one hand, and by J. J. Thomson
and Wilson on the other. This the
DRY is based on the properties of ion
lied gas. The solar light, and espe-
cially the ultraviolet rays, produce in
the atmosphere the phenomenon
known as ionization, giving rise to
an equal number Of ions charged
positively and ions charged negative
ly. As these are in equal number in
dry air, their charges do not develop
an electric potential of an appreciate
value; but when the air has been
cooled below the dew point, it appears
that the negative ions serve as nuclei
for the condensation of the humidity
into drops, and these, in falling, take
with them the negative ions, soon
leaving an excess of positive ions in
the air. This causes rise in electric
potential due to the presence of these
ions, and hence the electrical phe-
nomena which accompany rain. A
number of laboratory experiments
have been made which seem to bear
out this theory-Scientifc Amer

CHINESE AMULETS.
Marvellous Tales Told of Qualities Pos
sessed by Magic Bracelets.

Tits the desire of every Chinaman's
heart to possess pair of magic brace
lets. Arm rings or bracelets are
thought great deal of in the Celestial
empire, the custom Of wearing them
having been handed down from time
immemorial. Usually made of jade
stone, the Chinese ring of to-day is
,ne of invariable shape. 1t looks like
I large martingale.
The Chinese word for jade is ngook-
seu, and for jade-arm ring or bracelet,
ngook-ak. The custom in China,
lays the London Mail, is to place the
bracelet on a young mans arm just
before the hand stops growing. A
tight fit is usually secured, and once
placed the amulet arm ring is worn
throughout life. At death, if the
bracelet has proved lucky one, and
if there is son whom it will fit, the
bones in the old mans hand are brok-
en- and the bracelet removed.
Many are the marvellous tales told
by the Chinese of the wonderful quail
tiles these amulets possess. There
is tradition that certain Chinese
emperor, who was stricken with
paralysis, wore upon his forearm
magic bracelet, which kept life in that
member for many months, and al
owed him to make known his desires
and DEGREES by writing. Atlast, when
death claimed the emperor, some
thing even more wonderful took
place. Dead three days and lying in
state, his body was being viewed by
the priests. The advisability of re-
moving the bracelet was being con-
sidered when the hand was lifted up
and gave a signal which they inter
preted to mean the bracelet should
20 with its owner to the tomb.
Among other wonderful properties
q good amulet is said to act as fair
ly reliable barometer
