which he thanked the Governor for ali that

hitherto been united to St. Thomas, but
since he became Governor in the month of
March, he had lived in st. Croix and the
people here have learnt to know him as a
Governor having always the welfare OF the
island and its people in view. With a Safe
passage, hoping to meet again and express
ing the wish that success might attend the
Governor in St. Thomas, Mr.. Pretto pro-
posed a cheer for long life, which was an
swered by the whole gathering.
Governor Helweg- Larsen was evidently
both happy and surprised. Such homage IS
quite new out here. He gave expression to
these feelings, heartily thanked all who vera
there, and remarked that the fact of our
being Danes united us. He then shook Mr..
Pretto's hand and stepped into the boat,

place in the Colonial Council of St. Crolx.
Among other items to be discussed was the
introduction OF public telephone service III
the island and IA Bill introduced by the
Governor aud having as its object the re-
funding to the planters the EXpott Duty
paid by them last year.
The last mentioned Bill had met with
some opposition because a portion OF the
money would fall to America, namely to the
firm of Bartram Bros, who III tue meau~tlme
had disposed of their estates to Danes. But
this circumstance did not exist when the
Bill was framed, aud besides, the greater
portion of the money accrues to the islands
own planters. There will on the whole be
refunded some 10000 Frcs. OF winch tall
to Danes. Well, somo careful parties had
also asked if by this there would not DE
created u dangerous precedent for the Co.
Iopial Treasury, to which it was replied that
the Bill was only to be considered as an
assistance once for all in a poor time, au
encouragement to the body of taxpaylng
citizens who ultimately support the island.
At the meeting not q vote was cast against
the Bill this aud the other items on tho
Order of the Day were unanimously adopted,
and for the first for ii long time the Budget
WAS passed without any criticism Only
words of acknowledg ment to the new Gov
ernor were heard in every direction and he
received much homage from the chosen re-
representatives. prior to his changing his re-
sidence from St. Croix to st. Thomas. Aud
this WAS not the ouly homage. la the morn

Why the Glow Worm CLOVIS.

Many animals possess the power of
becoming luminous at will Glow
worms are the most striking example
of this curious phenomenon. Many
FISH that live In the deep seas possess
this same power of becoming lumin-
Gus. Scientific men have vainly tried
to explain the mechanism OF this
luminosity, Prof. Armand Gautier of
Paris has just communicated to the
Academy of Sciences a notice Of MN.
Vile and Dcnien of Montpelier, who
explain this production or light by the
oxidation of a substance secreted by
luminous animals, called lophine. This
organic azoted substance. under the
influence of oxygen, em;ts visible
luminosity. Potash, in the presence OF
catalytic elements, such as the ferru.
glnous matters OF the blood, likewise
proyokes the oxidation Of the lophine,
and consequently forms light Oxy-
genated water has also the same
property. In the organisms 1t Is un.
stable oxygen of the tissues catalyzed
by the ferruginous elements of the
blood that produces the oxidation Of
the lophine and renders animals
luminous.

Base Ball Story.

Here is little story tcld recently
by Christy Mathewson and it may cast
side light on some inside baseball
that viii be interesting to the fans:
One of the most serious things that
can happen in a game of ball." said
the mighty twirler, is for the pitcher
to double cross his catcher. 1t was
not SO very long ago that did this to
Chief Meyers. In fact, | have been
guilty of that breach of baseball
etiquette on several occasions, but al
ways unwittingly. Now here's the
reason for my lapses: Meyers is nat
urally dark and when he becomes tam
ned his skin is unusually so. When
he puts his hand against his glove to
give the signal for the kind of pitch
he wants, it Is hard TO tell whether
he has one or two fingers extended.
One finger might be the signal for a
curve and two for a fast one. After
giving signal the catcher, naturally,
is looking for what he called, and
IL the twirler throws something else,
the hackstop might easily be injured.
This is the first time in my long career
that the color of catcher's hand
played such an important part in base
ball games. Every fan knows that the
face of backstop's glove becomes q
dark brown, and when, in addition, the
catcher's hand is tanned to an unusual
degree. 1t is some Job for the pitcher
to tell the difference between one an6
two fingers. "-Leslie's.
