In nearly every instance of treach-
cry and corruption resulting in n public
scandal during the last fifty years
woman has played prominent and ig-
noble part. The real instigator of the
crime, she goes unpublished, bringing
to those connected with her ignominy,
disgrace, exile and sometimes death.
One of the most notorious of these
women who for time pulled the
strings of history was the Baroness de
Kaula, a German by birth, who caused
the downfall of old General de Cissey,
the Minister of War in Paris during
the presidency of Marshall MacAIahon.
The general, infatuated with the
baroness, was in the habit of lunching
with her at her house close to the
Elysee every Thursday, after the meet
ing of the cabinet council.
While they were at lunch her SER
wants were taking shorthand notes of
the ministerial papers in the generals
portfolio, which We're then forwarded
in cipher to Bismarck in Berlin. who
thus knew every Friday morning all
that had passed in the French cabinet
council on Thursday.
This went on for two years. and
might never have been discovered If
the baroness had not made the mis-
take of being too grasping. She sue
ceeded in obtaining from the general,
who could refuse her nothing, valuable
army contracts for some of her friends;
this led to searching inquiries on the
| part of disappointed candidates, and
| the whole business came out.-pear-

whose 80 specimens from South Az

Oysters are examined by X-rays for
pearls by Raphael Dubois, French
investigator. The oysters are not in

Mons. Charles Fabry of the French
Academy of Sciences announces that
careful measurements of the light Of
the star Vega, one of the brightest in
the heavens, when it is seen near the
zenith in calm wea Their, show that it Is
equal to that of standard candle
burning at a distance Of 1850 feet
from the eye.
Evidence that animals can count has

Horses in the collieries ut Hainault
have Il regular number Of daily trips,
and invariably seek their stables after
the thirtieth. A dog remembered the
twenty-sixth buried bone short time
after digging up twenty-five. Birds
count their eggs magpies count only

A novel microscope for viewing
melted or intensely hot substances has
been described to the Vienna Academy
of Sciences by Prof. G. Doelter. An
electric oven two inches high Is mount
ed on the object stand, and yields tenn
peratures up to 1900 deg. G. In use
the lens is separated from the heated
object by about one inch. Even Mt the
highest temperatures of the substance
under examination, however both mi
croscope and objective are kept quite
cool by special arrangement of as
ing ice-cold water.
If vibrating tuning-fork is placed
in n flame the sound is markedly re-
inforced. Starting with this fact, the
Rev. I. c. Porter, of England, has
devised new form of photograph, in
which flame takes the place Of the
trumpet ordinarily used. The sounds
thus reinforced are easily heard
throughout large room. The explain
alton of the action of the flame is that
the sound-waves falling upon it change
its combustion from continuous to an
intermittent form, and the burning gas
being thus thrown into series of
waves which are more powerful than
the original sound-waves, reinforce
them and thus magnify the sound.
The Royal Society in London was
recently entertained with an account,
by II. 1. Pocock, of spider of the
Desidae family, living in Australia,
which makes its habitation along the
seashore, in the crevices of the rocks,
between high and low water marks.
This location is selected, no doubt, be-
cause it abounds with the food that
these spiders prefer. But when the
tide is in. their homes are covered with
water. Instead of deserving them, how
ever, the spiders solve the difficulty
by means of closely woven sheets of
silk, which they stretch over the en-
frances, and within which they i'm
prison sufficient air to keep them alive
