nun,1noue CentIreds.

Lizard, snake and natural electric
light plant all rolled into one-this Is
the luminous centiped, one of the most
interesting creatures In nature. Il Is
about one and q quarter inches long
and covered with short hairs. It's body
Is very narrow and appears to be in
sections In consequence OF this pecul-
lar formation the creature appears to
move sidewise except when frightened.
Then the natural electric light plant
feature appears. and, with an almost
instantaneous wayeliks motion. begin
ming at the tail. the color OF the reptile
changes from orange to greenish
phosphorescent shade. Then, sparkling
with a tiny streak of green light, the
croature darts away to place OF ref
uEe. When one OF the pair Is In search
OF It's mate. the color grows bright
yellow, but at will the centfped can re-
sumo It's darker color. and then, IL ~

.ooppERPLATE ENGRAVING.
T,he Art was DIscovered ThrOngh th0
HferoSf Accident

The Art was Discovered through Gh0
lIerosf Accident
Every one has noticed on his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines OF
his name. and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things OF use and beauty,
this art OF copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest accident
by the Eoldsmiths of Florence in the
ifteenth century. 1t is a historical
fact, however, that one day an engrav-
er on gold. wishing to take proof OF
his work, made the usual sulphur cast
and then filed up the lines with lamp
black, thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
In doing this it occurred to him that
possibly the saine results could be OBJ
tafned by filing up the original en-
craving with lnmpblack instead OF
making an impression of it and filling
up that Struck with the idea, he put
1t into practical use and with a little
damp paper succeeded in getting fair
Impression from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art, and they
hailed it with JOY, as It saved all the
arIluous trouble Of making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full value
Of the discovery. and consequently the
art of plate engraving lay for almost
a century before It's true import was
discovered and brought out in all its
great and beautiful results Today col
lectors of plate engravfngs rave over
the crude results OF earlier times and
search the world for examples OF these
early masters to add to their collec-
lions. Many OF these collections have
been presented to museums, where
they may be seen and appreciated by
the people.

OppoaItIon and RebnRs with which
Morse Had TO Contend.
The Morse telegraph invention lin
,gered for years in the hands of Its
starving inventor because capitalists
were Indifferent or incapable OF APP
preciIting it's merits
1t was several years before congress
voted an appropriation to allow its in
ventor to make a practical test OF it,
and burlesque bills were offered to pro
vide means for communicating with
the man in the moon.
''He's a very good. but shiftless
painter, If he would only stick to his
job,' some one said of Morse. The
idea of telling by u little streak OF
lightning what n body is saying at the
other end of a wire"'
His instrument, it was said, was all
yery well as a mantel ornament or for
a mistress to call her maid. but tho
wires couldn't cross rivers, oceans and
deserts.
Even after the line was up between
washington and Baltimore and Silas
Wright sent dispatch to the Demo
cratic convention at Baltimore declln-
ing its nomination OF him to the vice
presidency, it was not accepted as true
until a committee went to Washington
and returned with the confirmation of
the report.
There was similar though less Objec-
ton offered to the overland telegraph.
Senator Benton declared that 1t would
be impossible to operate it, because
the Digger Indians would cut the wires
to make hooks for digging up the roots
and beetles on which they lived.-Sun-

An Official of the National museum
sat Washington who has made mary
trips abroad in the interest OF that I'm
stitution states that in South Ameri-
yran forests the butterflies and the birds
=ne,equally brilliant In their coIors, but
chat the butterflies, being weaker, fail
a prey to the birds. One very bright
husd species Of butterfly. however, Is
mot disturbed by the birds on account
of the dlsagreeable odor that itiemtts
.Singularly enough, some other groups
spR BUTTERFLIES which resemble in color
;the species Just described, also escape
persecution by the birds, although they
emit no odor It is evident that the
similarity OF color deceives the birds,
and thus serves as shield for the but
terhies This sort OF mimicry of color
and form, which naturalIsts call pro
ltective resemblance" is not very no
common among insects.
Another form Of protective resem-
qolance" which exhibits much contriv-
zanoe and slin is sometimes found
among birds Some birds hide their
eggs among stones that resemble the
eggs in FORM and color. The little bot.
tie tit in England weaves bottle
shaped nest out OF moss, nchens and
spiders webs. and when placed in
tree or bush the nest so closely resem-
bIes ats surroundings that It can hardly
be detected. The color and appearance
81 the nest are limitations of the pre-
vaIIIng color and appearance of the
particular tree in which 1t is placed.

RANGER SUSTAINS
GORMLEY APPEAL

10 make new change OF textbooks, and
was contrary TO statutory law; because
the law provides that no change be made
in any textbook In the public schools OF
any town oftener than once in three
years, unless by consent OF the board OF
education and the books adopted on Dec
Hth had not been in use three years and
the consent OF the board OF education TO
such a change had not been obtained. The
conclusion, therefore. is that each vote OF
Jan. 1st TO reconsider was a nullity.
This position appears TO be sustained
by the cases cited by counsel: S5 Ohio
state 36s; sS Michigan 371; IS Nevada 173.
All these cases involve attempts TO re-
consider measures TO change textbooks
previously passed. In the first two the
power to reconsider was denied. In the
Ohio case-the language of the statute
being each board OF education shall de-
termne text books to be used. and no
text book shall be changed within three
years after its adoption. without three
fourths vote'-it was held that the effect
Of the original vote was an adoption In
that IL did determine a textbook for use,
that when such action OF the board was
consummated its power over the subject,
without a three-fourths vote, was ex-
hausted for the period OF three years from
date, and that the attempt 10 reconsider
failed because IL lacked the required
liHft-louIlnS Nplt. WHICH OWulu nave tt-
fected n new adoption.
I'm the Michigan case--'making selec-
tion Of textbooks beinh the language OF
the law--the power the board 10 recon-
slider resolution 10 adopt a certain text
book, previously accepted. was denied:
because by the acceptance OF the resolu-
tion the making OF a selection had been
effected. and because publishrs and pa
irons had acted on the faith OF the reso-
al n of In
tention TO move reconsideration at the
next meeting was given by a majority
OF the board TO its secretary two days
after the acceptance OF the resolutions
and four days before the president Of the
board notified the publishers OF the adop-
tion.
In the Nevada case-the language OF
the statute being prescribe and cause TO
be adopted-the power OF the state board
vote 10 change textbooks was sustained
on the ground that the action OF the board
was incomplete and susceptible to re-
view. 1t was held that after the state
board prescribes the book the districts
must adopt II as directed by the state
board, and until both are done there is
no change OF textbooks in tho sense OF
our statute In each OF these cases the
language OF the statute governs the con-
clusion."
The decision OF Commissioner Ranger
has received the approval OF Chief Justice
Douglas OF the supreme court.

smile OF acknowledgment was missed In

Clarence Chase was surprisingly strong
in the character of Pierre, the cripple,

Miss Cameron.
