Vaporized Quartz.
BEAUTIFUL opalesoence

a BEAUTIFUL opa1eSCence may
\ sometimes be observed in the
glass globes used to diffuse the light
of the electric arc. particularly after
such globes have been in use for a
long time.
/. Close examination shows that the
opalescence> is due to the presence
ION the glass of minute spheres of
silica, which have evidently been
formed by volatiiization from the
glass under the influence OF the cleo
trio arc. This effect is in accordance
with the experiments of French
scientists, whose electric furnaces
have produced some surprising re-
suits.
The essential feature of the t::--
mace 10 an electric ar of great In
tensity. When rock crystal. broken
into fragments, is placed in the fur
mace it simply melts like so much
ice, and in a few inmates the liquid
thus formed begins to boil.
The vapor rising from the nquefaed
crystal is condensed into q little
bluish-white cloud, from which tiny
spheres of silica, glimmering with
opalescent hues, are deposited. These
spheres, as already remarked, ars
similar to those found on arc-light
globes. The latter, Of course. are the
product ofIa very slow and gradual
process, while in the electric furnace
the voiatilization liz effected with
rapidity.

along the narrow stone sidewalks of
the city, or along the somewhat
broader ones Of the suburbs, watching
the extraordinary behavior of the
negro slaves, hundreds OF whom
dropped back to the performances upon
gala or feast days in Africa.
They went about the streets in
groups ranging from ten to fifty or
more. rugged UP in feather head
dresses and in cufious African Jackets
and jumpers-coming as near naked
ness as possible without quite getting
there Their arms and legs and faces
were daubed with paint of various
startling colors. while sandals Of
Ethiopia protected their feet as they
danced and sang their feast songs.
They carried great dried calabashes
covered with a network Of African
beads; and, by violently shaking these,
a din resulted that could be heard
two or three blocks away.
In each group were to be seen a
couple of big men, with compiexions
that the term black hardly describes.
and with great, thick Hps and kinky
hair. These were the tom-tom besters,

One day her Chinaman came back

ed him to go into the back yard,
where she had him pinned down star

man could be heard for blocks around;
but no one cape to Investigate the

the utmost cruelty. Once I saw q
group Of them breaking stone in a
city street Each wore but q clout
about his loins, and they pounded
away in the broiling heat Of trupi-
cal sun from daylight to dark. Near
by, in a comfortable seat and under
an immense umbrella, sat the over

the back with his whip-a blow that

exhilarating sight.
Personally, I never witnessed such
q .scene-ihdeed the only military
display at which was spectator
during my residence in Havana was
a sham battle, commanded by Gen.
Prim. About ten thousand troops, of
all arms of the service. took part
In it, one-half defending a big sugar
mill and outbuildings, while the other
half made the attack. From a mill
tary point of view 1t was a splendid
success. and carried out with con-
summate skill.
I particularly remember the charge
made by a black infantry regiment.
They wore very conspicuous zouave
uniforms. with white turbans and
baggy. scarlet trousers. Every man
of them appeared to be an athlete,
and the alacrity they displayed in
getting over walls and other obstruc-
tions was truly astounding. A bat
terry OF flying artillery was an-
other fine feature, the long brass
pieces shining like. gold in the hot
tropical sun. which In no way checked
the fire of the sturdy. little horses
that dragged those numbering guns
into action.

Prim was likewise executed, through
the sentence Of Madrid court mar
tial, shortly after Serano had met a
similar fate. though possibly this
general may have been the Juan
Prim who was fatally shot by an
assassin on the 2Sth Of December,
1870. All this was. of course, long
time ago, and in those far-on days

the last time was in the summer of
1854, when I was signal officer of the
United States gunboat Proteus-and
fail to recall a single instance when
we've passed Moro Castle that did
not hear a voliey of musketry, which

some enlisted man was being shot by
