Electric Light Bulbs.

While grasping small incandescent
electric lamp one night Professor Som
mer, German scientist, happened to
observe that on contact with his hand
the bulb of the lamp would show a
luminosity comparable with a mist Of
light, illuminating certain parts of the
glass as well as his fingers even before
the electric current was completed.
This phenomenon could be produced
several times by rubbing the electric
bulb with the hand. Not all electric
bulbs are suitable for the experiment.
Those which have been used for some
time and which show the well known
dark coating of carbon particles are
especially apt to fail. After rubbing a
new or nearly new lamp containing no
metallic conductors strongly on the
skin of the forehead or lower arm, to
withdraw the lamp suddenly from the
skin will cause the bulb to show the
luminous phenomenon. Withdrawing
the lamp and stopping it suddenly
causes its outlines to stand out dis
tinctly Illuminated, while in the middle
a bright spot is observed.

4 End Imitation.

Blackstone, the popular English come
dian and dramatist, was rather fond OF
telling the following story, although it
was somewhat against himself:
One night Fechter, Sothern and Buck
stone were leaving the Haymarket
theater some little time after the per-
Torrance was over, when suddenly
Blackstone discovered billsticker post
ing an election placard right upon the
front Of that sacred house of comedy.
"How dare you, STRIP he said in his
peculiar cultural and jerky manner
"How dare you post bills upon my
theater"
The man paid no attention, but went
on latherlng the placard, which he put
up with an air of quiet defiance.
"You miserable billstickerv said
Blackstone, his mannerism coming out
very pointedly with his temper. eff you
don't desist, you scoundrel, I'll have
you locked up"
Whereupon the man, quietly making
a closing dab at the poster, said, "Tll
have you locked up, you imposter, il
you don't mind, for givin' such bad
imitation of Buckstone-couldd do it bet
ter myself. "-London Telegraph.

THE LEMON IN THE TEA.
1t Is a Survival From Very Ancient
Chinese Methods.

| 1t Is a Survival From Very Ancient
Chinese Methods.
Whence the slices of lemon with the
| tea in Russia?
Okakura Kakuzo, a Japanese artist
| and critic, writing in the international
| Quarterly, says they point to a survival
| from very ancient Chinese methods,
when tea leaves "were steamed, crush
ed in a mortar, made into cake and
boiled together with rice, ginger, salt,
orange peel, spices, milk and some
times with onionsw
Okakura tells also of the work Of
Luwuh, the poet, who in the eighth
century became the first apostle of tea
and wrote in three volumes and ten
chapters the "Chaling," or "Holy
Scripture of Tea" Luwuh instituted
the code Of tea and is become the tute-
larry god of Chinese merchants Of the
leaf.
According to this master, the noun
tain spring furnishes the best water,
then come river water and plain spring
water. There are three stages Of boil
ing. The cake tea is roasted before the
fire until it becomes soft, like baby's
ARM" and is shredded into powder be-
tween pieces of fine paper. Salt is put
in the first boil, the tea in the second.
At the third boil a dipperful of cold
water is poured into the kettle to settle
the tea and revive ''the youth of the
water" Then the beverage is poured
into cups.
1t was of such a beverage that Lo-
tung, another poet, wrote: "The first
cup moistens my lips and throat, the
second cup breaks my loneliness, the
third cup searches my barren entrail
but to find therein some 5000 volumes
of odd Nleographs. The fourth cup
raises slight perspiration - all the
wrong of life passes away through my
pores. At the fifth cup am purified;
the sixth cup calls me to the realm OF
the immortals. The seventh cup-ah,
but could take no more.
"Tea began as medicine and ended
as beverage" Also it has had rituals,
ceremonies and PHILOSOPHERS. In Japan
it became "the religion of the art of
life," and 'the tea room was an oasis
in the dreary waste of existence" This
was in the fifteenth century, and the
philosophy of Teaism which then arose
is described as "a cult founded on the
alteration of the beautiful among the
sordid facts of everyday existence. 1t
inculcates purity and harmony, the
mystery of mutual charity, the roman
ticism of the social order"
strangely enough" says Okakura,
humanity has so far met in the tea
cup. 1t is the only Asiatic ceremonial
which commands universal Srespect.
The white man has scoffed at our re-
ligion and our morals, but has accepted
the brown beverage without hesitation.
The afternoon tea is now an important
function in western society"

A correspondent sends to the Pioneer
(Allahabad) the following notes on the
fact that case has been reported of a
crows nest having been found which
was made out of telegraph wire: ANY
thing resembling a twig is pressed into
service. In the days of old, before
glass stoppered bottles came into use
for soda water, many nests were made
of the wires used to keep i'll the corks
Of such bottles. A nest constructed
out Of brandy bottle wires was once
taken in palm tree outside Madras.
Another nest was found composed Of
bits of tin stolen from the tin bazaar in
Madras. One pair of crows constructed
a nest out of gold and silver spectacle
frames purloined from the factory of
Messrs. Lawrence & Mayo in Bombay.
The materials for this nest. of which
the value was 400 rupees, We're stolen
by the willy crows during the luncheon
hour. 1t was noticed that the spectacle
frames were disappearing from the
factory in a mysterious manner. but it
was some time before the thief was
discovered"

Mahogany,

DIR. Gibbons, an eminent London
physician in the latter half of the sew
enteenth century, had brother, West
India captain, who brought over in his
ship some logs of this wood as ballast.
AS the doctor was then building a
house in King street, Covent Garden,
London, his brother thought they might
be of service to him, but the carpen-
tiers, finding the wood too hard for
their tools, laid the logs aside as use
less.
Soon after Mrs. Gibbons wanted
candle box, and the doctor called on
his cabinetmaker, Wollaston, in Long
Acre, and asked him to make one Of
some wood lying in his garden. VOL
laston also complained that it was too
hard. The doctor said he must get
stronger tools. The candle box was,
however, made and approved, inso-
much that the doctor then insisted on
having a bureau Of the same wood
which was also completed and was so
much admired, especially by the Ouch
ess of Buckingham, that the fame Of
mahogany rapidly rose, and it soon
came into ge neral use.
An Odd Industry.
One of the strangest of modern indus
tries is that carried on in the Jura dis
trict in France. 1t consists in taking
the fur from live rabbits and weaving
it into a textile fabric which makes the
warmest kind of clothing material
known. The species of rabbits which
furnish the raw material for the manu-
featuring process is the Angora rabbit,
which has received the name of the silk
rabbit Every three months the rabbit
sheds it's fur, and several days before
this takes place nature is anticipated
by female hands, which remove the long
silken hairs by gentle friction. The
skin is already ripe" and the fur
comes off easily and without the rabbit
suffering the slightest pain from the
operation. In fact, bunny appears to
enjoy it, lying quietly in the lap of the
operators during the manipulation
