This same glow is often seen on
small animals and number of in
sects. The glowworms are quite
common in various sections of the
world, and in some localities insects
have a brilliant glow coming from
beneath their wings. The frefies
or lightning bugs are the most COM
mon in the United States.
In some countries certain vegeta-
bic growths are known to give forth
such a glow, and it has been limited
that some of the crops harvested
and stored in barns have the same
properties and under certain condi-
tions produce not only the glow,
but actual flame, resulting in what
is known as spontaneous combus-
ton, destroying the barns and con-
tents.-Chicago Record-Herald.

A Welsh Legend.

In Wales there is a legend of
Irish smugglers who arrived at
Llanddona many years ago in a
boat without rudder OF oars. They
were looked upon, according to the
Irish custom Of sending malefac-
tors to a sea doom in this plight, as
outlaws. However, they had been
allowed to land, and spring of
water bursting forth in the sand at
the place was taken as sign of
their right to refuge. But they
i'll repaid the Welsh. The men
lived by smuggling, the women by
witchcraft. 1t was not possible to
overcome the smugglers in a fray,
for each carried about with him a
black fly tied in knot Of his ker-
chief, and the moment the knot
was undone the fly flew at the eyes
of the opponents and blinded them.
If the Llanddona witches attended
market and bid for anything no
one ventured to bid against them.

Two Standards.

One Of the strangest illustrations
of the ups and downs Of fortune
comes from Paris. A rich Partisan
banker became reduced through
unlucky investments to the sum Of
10000 francs. That amount was
poverty to him, and, overwhelmed
by his loss and the hopelessness Of
the situation, he committed suicide.
The 10000 francs then fell to his
brother, who had been for years a
pauper, estranged from his family.
But to him such sum represented
incredible riches, and his reason
was oyerthrown. In moment of
delirium he jumped into the Seine
and was drowned.

Owls That Show . Phosphorescent
Glow In the Dark.


We are told by some students
there is species of owl that has a
phosphorescent glow in the dark
and that it is rare bird.
There may be such a bird, but a
careful investigation on the part of
number of persons who have made
such things a careful study has re-
vealed the fact that certain owls
and even bats and other creatures
that are known to roost in old hol-
low trees that are in certain stage
Of decay producing that peculiar
phosphorescent condition SO often
witnessed, and coming in contact
with the matter that makes the
glow, the feathers or outer coating
of the creatures become saturated
with the luminous matter and on
damp nights give forth brilliant
glow, such as is often seen on old
stumps, decaying logs and in some
localities on lodges Of limestone

Holland is known to all the
world as the land of windmills, but
very few people know that the
windmill did not belong to Europe
in the first place, but originated
among the Saracens. There is, it is
believed, no instance of a windmill
being used in Europe until the
time of the crusades. In a typical

SolubiIity of Gold.
Gold II one OF the group OF metals
soluble only in that mixture of nitric
and hydrochloric acids known as aqua
regia. It has been found, however,
that the presence OF certain organic
compounds renders gold soluble In by
drochloric acid. Thus mixture or
this acid and chloroform is found to
be solvent. Ethyl. or ordinary al
chohol, methyi alcohol and amyl alco-
hol are among the other substances
which give to hydrochloric acid the
power or dissoiving gold. The solution
takes place slowly In the cold acid and
more quickly on heating.
