Jumbo Lightning Bug,

What is believed to be the largest
phosphorescent insect known to exist
has been shipped to Professor Charles
w. Woodwork, the University of Cali
fornia entomologist. from Madeira, by
woman who discovered it and has
been in correspondence with the agri-
cultural department in regard to her
valuable find. The insect is three and
half inches long, exceeding all other
phosphorescent varieties that have ever
been studied. The largest one previous
to this was a specimen two inches long
found in the eastern states. Neither
the name. species nor genus Of the new
insect can be determined. It comes at
an opportune time, however, for scien-
lists are at present making careful in
vestigations in phosphorescence in the
hope Of discovering the secret of OBJ
tanning light without heat.

Best Sanitary Conditions Are to 30
Found In Germany. -.
The health of European armies has
been engaging the attention of Prof
Kende of Budapest, and the results of
his investigation are now given to the
world, reports a writer in the New
York Sun. OF all the armies, the pro-
lessor is inclined to put the German
first, though the general sanitary con-
ditions of the French appear to be al
most as satisfactory. The Frenchman,
however, is OF a feeble constitution.
Austria, 1t is said, suffers from the raw.
ages Of disease, and the sanitary con-
dition of the Italian army is most
strongly condemned. Out of thou
sand men, according to Prof. Kende,
Italy loses nine, Austria six, France
five, and Germany only four. The
system of Germany is certainly good
one; bat it must be remembered that
1t Is employed on stock naturally

The Persistent
Passe niger
fOriginal.1
Ticketsv'


The lightning express had just
moved out of the Union station, and
the conductor had emerged from the
baggage car and begun to take I'D
tickets. Coming to a gentleman with
pale complexion, red hair and gold
spectacles, he punched his ticket, hand
ing. it back with the remark, Don't
stop at Blimton."
Don't stop at Blimton? Then what
did the agent sell me ticket on this
train for?'
The conductor passed on without
reply, clicking his punch, turning from
right to left and left to right, like the
president bowling to a crowd.
1r''See here, Mr.. Conductor. If you
don't put me off at Blimton, I'll make
it hot for you.''
''And if you don't shut up I'll put
you off in swamp"
The passenger was very angry, NUT
tering to himself about the tyranny of
railroad men. When the train reached
Blimton, he pulled the bellcord and
made for the door. The conductor,
who happened to be in the car, seeing
the act, gave a signal to go on, but not
before the train had slowed down and
the passenger had jumped. Then the
conductor gave terrific stop pull on
the cord and made for the door him
self. In few minutes the train hands
! were carrying the lifeless body of the
passenger into the baggage car, whe4 e
it remained till the train reached it's
first regular stop.
Six months after this event the night
express carried passenger who pre-
sented a ticket to Blimton and was
informed that only local trains stopped
at that station. When the train reached
Blimton, the passenger went to the
door and gave leap in the dark. A
brakeman who saw him gave a stop
signal, and the remains of the passen-
ger, mutilated beyond recognition. were
found lying beside the track.
The next day the conductor of the
lightning express made application to
be transferred to local train that
stopped at Blimton.
What do you want that for, Tow
ler?" asked the superintendent ut
will cut off $40 month Of your pay"
Il know it WILL" replied the con-
ductor. but I'm getting nervous about
fast trains. don't think I'm WE'LL"
The conductor of the local ran his
train for several months when a new
time table was issued cutting off its
stop at Blimton. When the first train
had passed that station, q brakeman
stopped the train, hurried to the con-
ductor and announced that a passenger
had jumped and had undoubtedly been
killed. The conductor sank into seat
and directed the brakeman to go back
and find the body. A search was made
with lanterns, but the remains were not
found. Some said the brakeman had
been mistaken. others that the passen-

the platform of the station at New
burg when the train drew up. At one
point Of his journey he had made two
miles in one minute. Nevertheless, in
spite OF the various published records,
it may confidently be stated that the
greatest speed is never recorded-Cas-
