A Mac1e.n and q Campbell.

When Sir Archibald Campbell was
governor Of New Brunswick he CHANGED
to meet with an aged Highlander OF
the name of Maclean. who had done
brave soldiery service for his country,
and had borne himself well In many q
fierce encounter. After his discharge
he had settled in the woods; but things
had not gone smoothly with him, and
his circumstances were quite straiten-
ed. Anxious to befriend him, his excel
lency invited him to make his home at
government house, where he could find
easy work to do in backing boots ana
shoes and such like little things. The
old man was quite indignant, the hoe
blood mounting to his cheeks. and.
drawing himself up to his ull height.
he replied, with all the dignity OF .
lord:

GHOSTS"

DR.. Oliver ]. Lodge, in an address
to electrical engineers in Birmingham
on February 9th, thus defined an cleo
tron, that new term Of science which
has recently assumed SO much import
snce: An atom is ordinarily associated
with q charge, and force is required to
separate the charge from the atom.
The atom charge. when separated, ID
called an electron. In an electrolyte,
1. e., a substance decomposed by an
electric current. there is a bodily trans
fer Of atoms with the charges; in q
metallic conductor the charges are
handed on. as electrons, from atom to
atom. In the discharge through high
ly rarefed gases the electric current
Is in its most simple form, for here
there is a how Of electrons travelling
by themselves, of disembodied charges
or electric ghosts" Elections. DR..
Lodge added, are the fastest moving
Of all known terrestrial objects, their
speed being one-tenth that of light,
which is 10000 miles per second.

Axrseable Friends.

I have friends whose society is ex-
tremely agreeable to me; they are Of
all ages and Of every country. They
have distinguished themselves both in
the cabinet and in the field, and OBJ
tained high honors for their knowl-
edges of the sciences. 1t is easy to
gain access to them. for they are al
ways at my service, and I admit them
to my compay, and dismiss them from
it whenever / please. They are never
troublesome. but Immediately answer
every question I ask them. Some relate
to me the events of the past ages,
while others reveal to me the secrets
of nature. Some teach me how to live,
and others how to die. Some. by their
vivacity. drive away my cares and ex-
hilarate my spirits. while others give
fortitude to my mind, and teach me
the important lesson how to restrain
my desires, and to depend wholly on
myself. They open to me. in short, the
various avenues Of all the arts and
sciences and upon their information
1 safely rely in all .emergencies.-Pe-
trarch. ,-.ss;.,

Fly Can't BE Drowned.

Whatever other fate might befall It.
%naturalists agree that the common
house fly cannot be drowned, and many
experiments have been made in rela~
ton thereto.
Included in such tests was the im-
mersion of q fly in clear, cold water,
with a piece of cardboard to At the
glass and 1oated so as to keep the In.
sect beneath the surface.
So little did the fly trouble about
such an obstacle that it kept near the
bottom Of the glass, and there for q
quarter Of an hour ran about as freely
as In the fresh air, while 1t at times
crawled across the under side Of the
cardboard, as on the ceiling Of a room.
After being immersed for twenty
minutes the fly's movements were less
active, and at twenty-five minutes It
turned ove upon its side, apparently
dead. It hung suspended in the water.
just under the ~pasteboard, which kept
1t from rising to the surface. and there
it remained for another twenty-five
minutes.
1t was then taken out and placed on q
sheet OF paper, looking, to all appear
ance dead. Its next fate was to be
buried by being covered by about q
~teaspoonful Of fine salt.
At the end Of fifteen minutes the
line was shaken off. the fly having thus
been completely covered. either by wa
ter or by salt for sixty-iive minutes.
Immediatelyupon its release he In.
sect trimmed its wings and legs active
ly for a while and then flew away

burden on the highway, and not to be
a use Of the highway for which the
abutting owner is entitled to compen-
sation. The court said that the regu-
lation conining the bicycles to the
use Of such paths no more imposed an
additional burden upon the use Of the
highway, as affecting the right OF an
abutting owner, than would q statute
requiring all vehicles going in either
direction to keep to the right. It was
objected that the bicycle paths would
interfere with the custom Of hitching
horses, but the court said that no case
had been cited establishing the abso-
Lutte right of %obstructing travel upon .
highway by hitching horses.
