NEW RAT -ExTERMINAToR.

According to the Wadesboro Messen-
ger and Intelligencer an Arson county
man has discovered a simple n o
effective rat notwithstanding
more nor less than corn whiskey. This,
like most great discoveries, was made
accidentally. That paper thus describes
how the discovery was made and what
good results followed experiments By
the d~iscoverer:
A well known gentleman of Lilies
Vile township recently accidently dis
covered a rat exterminator that lays
rough on rats in the shade for effec-
t~iveness. The exterminator is nothing
less than corn whiskey. and the only
trouble about its coming into general
use is that there are few people. who
have il about them. who are willing
TO divide with the rats. Several nights
& the gentleman in question hap
pened to leave a small quantity of
whiskey in a saucer on the dining
room table. Next morning he was
surprised to find the whiskey all gone
and the table almost covered with
dead rats. He then placed some
whiskey in his barn and the rats drank
it greedily and Immediately keeled
Nf'i 0IEo soSF w NAC SAAc~
But, for the reason stated above.
we very much fear that this remedy
for rats will never be popular with the
public.
1t strikes us that most people who,
after this, take any orn liquor %
their homes will be inclined to test
it on rats before trying it themselves.
Few people, we believe, would be will
ing to take a drink of corr whiskey
after seeing the effects as above de-
scribed of a sample exposed to the
rats on the premises. Corn liquor that
will kill rats must be horrible stuff
indeed and a man who is willing to put
any of it in his stomach must have
strong faith in the poison-resisting
powers of that one of his organs. We
are inclined to think, though, that it
was not 1.-The corn in the liquor"
which killed the rates, but some of
the poisonous ingredients used to such
an extent by some manufacturers and
dealers. 1t will be noticed that this
LilesviEe man does not state that he
had drunk any of the whiskey from
which he had taken the doses admin
iStered to the rats.

The Free Press. Of Kinston, tells of
a fakir who visited, that town last
week and took in a number of the cit
liens by selling them a liquid prepara-
ton for nickel-plating any kind Of
metal. All that was necessary was to
pour the preparation on the article 10
be plated and the latter would imme-
diately show a beautiful nickel sur
face. But The Free Press says that
'fof course the bright color faded from
the metal almost as soon as the man
faded from the city. Some of those
who had been gulled got their money
back by using the stuff on pennies
which they passed off for dimes before
the "shine" had time to YEA off. While
the plating was fresh the pennies could
he easily passed for the more valua-
BILE coins.

Effect of Different Colors
Shown.

According TO the experiments which
nave recently been made in France by
]. Dumont, the different rays of the
spectrum have a variable effect in he
mount of nitrogen which is produced
in the grains of the plants, and this
effect is plainly marked. Since the re-
searches of Laurent, Marchal and 9TH
ers, we are aware that light is neces-
sary for the formation of albuminoids
IN the case of plants, and the most
refrangible rays are the most active
IN this respect.
To show this action more clearly NJ.
Dumont wished to observe the growing
plants during the whole period of
formation of the grains, after the
Towering. He operates upon wheat
which is cultivated in the vegetation
boxes Of the Grignon experimental
farm. hi plants grew under the Lest
| conditions, and were of regular growth
at h beginning of the tests. As soon
as the formulation was ACCOMPLISHED
he placed a series of box frames about
the plants. The sides and the tops o.
the boxes were provided with colored
glass. Means were provided for giving
a good ventilation to the plants and
prevent o~verheating. The surface Of
ground covered was about 800 square
inches. Every weak a number of heads
were taken out SO as to see the de-
velOpment. The wheat ripenend nor
NAL in all cases, but it was found that
the different cOlored glasses had q
marked effect upon the composition of
the grains, and the percentage of nj
trogen and albumen used were as fol-
lows: Blue. black Ozark bistre), RED,
green, besides the free plants used as
a check upon the results.
The percentage of nitrogen in tie
grains corresponding to the above
glasses are 2.13. 2.54. 1.91, 2.74, 202.
For the albumen we have 1881. 1882.
11.94, 17.12. Is. The free plants given
in The last figures show a normal con
stitution, while the differences are
striking for the colOred glasses. The
green glass shows the highest percen-
tage Of nitrogen, or an excess of &c
per cent; then come the black, the
blue and the red. These results show
that the radiations which have the
greatest effect upon the presence of the
albuminoids in the wheat grain are
those which act the least upon the
chlorophylian function. All the tests
were made with the same variety
o fwhat JaDhet wheat and under
identical conditions of soil and fert:l-
Zier, SO that the results appear to be
certain. We must not omit to state
that all the grains were found to be
formed as usual and their terminating
! power was not affected. Upon 100
plants there were go examinations
with the fire plants, 81 with the black
glass, 81 from the red and SO from the
blue and green. The author proposes
to make further researches Upon other
plants.-Scinetific American.

THE POLITICAL FIGHT IN
GEORGIA.

They are having a hot time down in
Georgia over the democratic nomina-
ton for governor. Hons. Clark How
ell and HOke Smith are pulling hair
and finging mud to an extent which
drives the Georgian wild with delight.
The joint debate is now on and the
speeches are made up chiefly OF
charges and counter charges. At a dis
cussion in Columbus Thursday Mr..
Smith flung a daub Of mud at his OPP
ponent which rebounded and left more
sticking to himself than remained on
his antagonist. Mr.. Smith charged,
by putting it as a question to Mr..
Howell, that the latter had written a
letter to a Major McGregor, a close
friend of Thomas Watson, for the pur-
pose of securing the populist lead
er's support by stating that no restrlc-
tons should be put on former populists
voting in the approaching primary.
Thereupon Major McGregor writes to
The Constitution that Mr.. Hoke Smith
attempted to make a deal with Mr..
Watson whereby he was to S his in
fluence as governor to get Mr.. Watson
in the United States senate, and that
the latter refused to enter into any
such combination.
This is a mild sample of the manner
in which these two prominent demo-
Gratis are conducting the campaign for
the nomination as governor of their
state. 1t is to be hoped that by the
time the canvass is over these two men
will have told of s. many disreputable
acts of each other that the democratic
voters of the state will refuse to en-
dorse either of them for the high Office
and will choose some man better quail
flied, in some respects at least, for
the office.
The fight between these two men
which has been going on in their Or
gans for some time was bad enough
but it has become more disgusting
since it has progressed to the personal
c~anvassing stage. The contest as be-
ing waged is a disgrace to the state of
Georgia and an insult to her intelligent
people.

THE MOROCCAN CONFERENCE.

Next Tuesday is the day for the con-

long before Germany will have to

what are her real intentions. This
seems a small matter for two great
nations 10 20 to war over, but the re-
lations between these two countries
have been greatly strained yer this
question for some months, and il is
likely that some other power will have
something TO say should Germany de-
mand too free a hand in the affairs of

that counties which establishd prohi-

of these assemblies. A concrete ex.
ample OF the incidental abuses is fur
