the nearest tree, sticks his claw into the
bark, bursts the back of his jacket, awk
wardly gets out of his old clothes and
appears with a set of brand newwiDgs

do remains to be seen. For the present
they seem to be mainly musical.— N. Y.

An extraordinary discovery of ancient
coins has just been made on the Montrane
estate, a few miles from Cupare Fife, in
Scotland, the property of Mr. Allan Gil-
more. In draining a portion of land the
laborers struck on what appeared to be a
bowlder, but subsequently was discovered
to be a pot. A stone was firmly wedged
into its mouth, and on being removed
it was found that the vessel was filled
with coins, the total number of pieces
being 9,000. Most of them have the ap
pearance of a well-worn six-pence, a few
are of the size of a florin, though not
quite so thick, and a small number are
aoout the size of a shilling. They are all
silver, and, so far as has been ascertained,
of the twelfth, thirteenth ond fourteenth
centuries. It is supposed they were used
ia the reigns of Bobert If., Robert 111.,
and David IL, and have lain in the earth
more than three hundred years.

GRASS.
The rose is praised for its beaming face,
The lily for saintlv whiteness ;
We love this bloom for its languid grace,
And that for its airy lightness.
We say of the oak : “How erand of girth I”
< f the will >w we say : “ How slender!”
And vet to the soft grass, clothing earth,
How slight is the praise we render!
But the grass knows well, in her secret heart,
How we love her cool green raiment;
So she plays in silence her lovely part,
And cares not at all for payment.
Each year her buttercups ned and drowse,
With sun and dew brimming over;
Each year she pleases the greedy cows
With oceans of honeyed clover!
Each year on the earth’s wide breast she waves,
From spring until bleak November;
And then—she remembers so many graves
That no one else will remember!
And while she serves us, with goodness mute,
In return for such sweet dealings,
We tread her carelesslv underfoot—
Yet we never wound her feelings!
Here’s a lesson that he who runs may read :
Though I fear but fow have won it--
The best reward of a kindly deed
Is the knowledge of having done it!

Experiments that Give Remarkable Re
sults.
it has been known for some time that
the human body becomes much charged
with electricity in the altitudes and ex
ceedingly dry atmosphere of the high
plateau between the Sierra Nevada and
Rocky mountains, but it has heretofore
been unknown that such accumulated
electricity is a cause of great danger to
persons handling exploders. Two very<
serious and sad accidents have hap
pened within a few months at the
mouth of the Sutro tunnel, both
through the sudden and apparently
unaccountable discharge of a number of
exploders in the exploder house. In the
first case, Ilenry L. Foreman, formerly
connected with the signal service bureau
at Washington, a gentleman of scholarly
attainments, a good mathematician and
astronomer, was engaged in examining
some of these exploders when two liun
liundred went off, completely destroying
his eyesight and otherwise seriously in
juring him. These exploders ars large
copper gun-caps, an inch and a sixteenth
in length and three-sixteenths of an inch
in diameter, and most kinds are charged
with fulminate of mercury.
Two insulated gutta-percha wires con
ect with eaG cap, through which the
electric spark is sent (after they are
placed in cartridges of the different com
binations of nitro glycerine) which sets
off the cap, and the concussion caused
thereby explodes the powder. The sec
ond accident referred to happened but a
few weeks ago in the same place and
probably in the same manner, by which
Thomas Coombs lost his left hand and
part of his arm. He was engaged in
forming ten exploders into a coil around
his hand, when suddenly they went off,
shattering that member in so fear
ful a manner that it had to be amputated.
These sad occurrences led Mr. Sutro
to at once institute some careful ex
periments, for he was strongly im
pressed with the belief that it was
body electricity, and not concussion,
which had caused these explosions. Elec
tric exploders made by different parties
were taken, one after the other, and
placed in a strong wooden box in Mr.
Sutro’s parlor. This room is covered
with a heavy Brussels carpet, walking
over which causes the human body
to be speedily charged with electricity.
Mr. Hancock, the chief blaster, assisted
in the experiments, and held the wires
while Mr. Sutro walked round the room
two or three times with slippers, sliding
his leet gently over the carpet. After
doing this he approached the end of one
of the wires with his forefinger, and in
stantaneously a loud report was heard,
the exploder having been discharged.
This first experiment was with one of the
San Francisco giant powder
exploders. Now one of the Electrica-
Construetion company’s was tried, with
out effecting its discharge. Next one of
I George M. Mowbray’s, of North Adams,
Mass.; which did not go eff on the first
I trial, but it did on the second with a
very loud report. After this another of
the giant exploders was tried, which
went off by the time Mr. Sutro’s forefin-j
ger had reached within two or three
inches from the end of the wire.
These experiments have ciearlv estab
lished the fact that exploders may be set
off by electricity accumulated in the hu
man body, and the men about the tunnel
were at once informed of the fact. In
structions were also issued for handling
them hereafter, and a sheet-iron plate
in the floor o‘ the exploder-house, to
which ia connected a wire reaching into
the water flowing from the tunnel.
The men in handling exploders now
stand on this iron plate, and have in
structions to wet their boots before enter
ing, and to put on India-rubber gloves

before touching the exploders. If these
precautions are properly carried out there
will be no danger of explosions hereafter.
Any electricity accumulated in the hu
man body will at once be carried off
through the iron plate, while the rubber
gloves, being non-conductors, form an
additional protection. No accidents
from the explosions have occurred inside
th3 tunnel, for, since the place is very
wet, no electricity can be retained in the
body. But little doubt exists that both
Mr. Foreman and Mr. Coombs have met
with their misfortunes in the manner
indicated. —Autro ( Arc.) Independent.
THE AWFUL 1 ORNADO.
Utnc It Approached the Doomed Toirn of
Mt. Carmel, -*ll.
The natural phenomena that presaged
the fearful storm were as grand and
awe-inspiring as was the demonstration
of its awful power. Duo west of the
little city, at a distance of several miles,
is a forest which skirts the prairie that
stretches thence to the town. Nestled
amid the undulations of the ridges, the
inhabitants of the doomed town watched
the gathering of the tornado with no
fear at first. In the west a bank of
clouds began to form, first on the edge
of the horizon, and then grew with
magical swiftness, creeping up against
the sky, which it presently totally
covered with its terrible frown. Blacker
and blacker it grew, and onward it
rushed with frightful velocity, the face
of the cloud dark and the edge fringed
with fantastic wreaths of vapor, whirled
into a thousand varying forms as the
awful and death dealing tempest swept
over the face of the smiling country,
Although it was daylight, a dusk almost
like that of twilight fell upon the little
city and the smiling fields and blooming
plains that girded its nourishing borders.
Then fear fell upon the inhabitants, who
began to think where safety might be
found. The school building, which was
thronged with children, was in the path
of the tempest, and the little ones,
frightened by the appalling spectacle of
the galloping storm, begged leave to fly
to their homes. They were all huddled
on the ground floor, except a few who
could not be restrained, where a special
Providence appeared [to work out their
safety.
With the lightning speed of a race
horse the tempest came onward and
leaping over the wood that skirted the
praire, rushed upon the ground and
swept toward the city with the un
earthly shriek of a fiend. The residence
of Dr. Harvey, midway between the
forest and the city, sitting fair upon the
level plain, fell shattered before tho
fearful blast, which a moment later fell
upon the doomed city and its in
habitants.
With an awful crash the tornado
swept through the streets with a con
tinuous noise like the explosion of bomb
shells. So frightful was its velocity and
so vast and irresistible its force that the
buildings of the town shivered before it
like sand, and fell as if crushed by the
weight of an omnipotent hand. Enor
mous substances weighing hundreds {of
pounds were lifted upon the wings of the
wild wind and borne forward like dead
leaves upon an autumn gust. Walls
crumbled like sand and went prone upon
the earth, and massive buildings erected
to stand the test of years, sank under its
I force and left scarce a trace of their pres
j ence upon the devastated earth.
This lasted but a moment, an awful
moment, pregnant with the fell harvest
of death and destruction, and the fright
ened and awe-inspired people, who had
heared the crash of their homes and
looked upon the relentless tempest which,
like an infuriate monster, seized upon
the fair village and tore its beauty from
the face of the earth, could scarcely
realize the truth that their senses bore tes
timony to. This horrified amazement and
stupor lasted but for a moment. Fol
! lowing in the wake of the tornado came
! a torrent of rain—tears which Heaven
| seemed to shed over the desolation it
| had wrought, and with which the pitiless
j flames that began to leap from the ruins
! was partly quenched. Then thunder
! crashed and lightning flashed from the
sombre sky and fed upon the homes the
wind had spared. —Evansville Journal.
The Authoress of “ Daniel De

The face is powerful. Wordsworth re

THE VENUS OX MILO.
The report that one of the missing
arms of this famous statue had been dis
covered is followed by the assurance of
Gen. Meredith Jiead, the American
charge d’ affairs at Athens, that both
arms have been found on the island of
Milo within a distance of less than thirty
feet from where the statue itself was
taken in 1820. For the benefit of those
who will be ready to greet this announce
ment with head shakings, and even deris
ion and cries of fraud, Gen. Read says:
The arms are exquisitely modeled. One
holds a kind of disc or shield. The work
manship and the locality compel even
the skeptical to acknowledge the authen
ticity of these wonderful relics. The
test of the matter will b 6 to forward the
arms to the Louvre in Paris, where the
multilatcd statue has been standing
since 1834, waiting for the rest of her,
and for the solution of the mystery that
hangs over her lively head ever since she
came to the light of the modern world.
Those lost arms have been the theme
of more wild speculation among artists
and connoisseurs than the lost tribe of
Israel has been to theologians. Eacli has
had his notion about the peculiar posi
tion in which the body of the statue re
quired them to be placed. There will
be great curiosity to see who, or whether
anybody, lias hit right. The arms were
also needed to clear up the meaning and
even the name of the statue, for while
the general supposition has been that it
was a Venus, and by Praxiteles, or least
a copy of that master’s work, others
have denied that it was a Venus at
all. Our countryman, W. J. Stillman,
an artist and a very competent judge of
art, trained by long experience on classic
ground, has given his opinion that the
work is really a statue of Minerva, and
lie presents some very plausible reasons
in support of that conclusion. It is
barely possible that, in tlieso days
of more ingenuity than genius, when
Raphaels are manufactured so as to
deceive the very elect in art, and ancient
manuscripts of any required stage of
decay can Htf produced to order, these
long lost arms of the Venus of Milo,
when brought to their appropriate place,
maybe found to be humbugs; but let
us hope not. When image breakers of
all kinds are abroad, let us trust that at
least one single instance of “ reconstruc
tion” will cheer the hearts of artists and
connoisseurs. In France the discovery
of the lost arms was regarded as an event
of so much importance that the secretary
of the fine arts issued an official bulletin.

I’eter Cooper, a candidate for president
of the United Statesat the last election,has
just addressed a long open letter to Pres
ident Hayes, criticising the past financial
policy of the sovereign government, and
also marking out the proper course in
his opinion to he pursued in the future.
Mr. Cooper begins his letter with these
words: “Allow me to offer you my
heartfelt thanks for the wise and inde
pendent course you have adopted in the
discharge of the responsible and difficult
duties you have been called upon to per
form.” Mr. Cooper argues that our
national currency must be made re
ceivable for all purposes throughout the
country, and interconvertible with three
per cent, bonds. Such acurrency would
have been worth more to the American
people than all the gold mines that have
ever been discovered on the continent
of America. He advises that silver be
withdrawn from circulation and used in
the purchase of foreign bonds, the frac
tional and other currency to be revived.

EXC'ITJNO ADVENTURE WITH VOLAR
BEARS.
Three of the crew of the steamship
Intrepid, Captain Sou tar, had a very ex
citing adventure at the Greenland seal
fishery this season. During the time
that their vessel was fast beset among
the ice, three of the crew—Thomas
Royal, Wolverhampton ; James Winter,
Peterhead; and William Mulligan,
Dundee—set out one day to pay a visit
to the ship Perseverance, of Peterhead,
which lay apparently about four miles
distant. After walking about a couple
of miles it was seen that the distance be
tween the two ships had been misjudged,
and that in reality they were six miles
apart, and the dangerous nature of the
journey began to dawn upon the seamen
when they realized how far they were
from any vessel, and that their sealing
clubs were the only weapons with which
they were armed. When they came to
realize the real distance they begun to
deliberate whether it would not bo the
best course to return to their ship. One
of the trio insisted on making the jour
ney, while the others were of the opinion
that they should give up 'the attempt.
In the midst of the debate an unwelcome
visitor came upon the scene, in the shape
of a she bear, with one of her cubs, and
as sho was fast coming up between the
men and their ship, the only chance of
escape was to run on in the hope of reach
ing the Perseverance, a distance of about
four miles. When the men took to their
heels tho bear quickened her pace, and
in a short time was close upon the sail
ors. To attempt to face the animal with
their clubs was useless, and accordingly
one by one the men look off portions of
their clothing and threw them down on
the ice. it this way the progress of the
hear was retarded, as Bruin stopped to
sniff and tear at each of the articles as
she came up to them. By this means
the men were enabled to keep a little
ahead for about a couple of miles, by
which time, however, they had parted
with most of their clothing, one of them
having nothing but his pants, a cravat
and a woollen shirt upon him. He had
retained possession of his club, and,
fastening his cravat to the end of the
weapon, he waved it as a nignal of dis
tress, and fortunately the attention of
the Perseverance was attracted to the
perilous position of the three seamen.
Several of the crew of the Perseverance
immediately set out, armed with guns,
and, after running about a mile, they
came up to the three men just in time
to save them, as they had almost no
clothing left, and were quite exhausted
with the chase. The bear and her cub
were so close behind that the rescuers
had no difficulty in despatching them
with several bullets. The following
morning the three sailors returned to the
Intrepid. They were escorted part of
the way by a numbarof the crew of the
Perseverance, and the male bear having
been seen in the vicinity, apparently on
the loek-out for the she bear and cub,
he was likewise killed. The most of the
men’s clothes and their sea boots, were
picked up, all more or less torn. The
three men had been kindly treated on
board the Perseverance and supplied
with clothing, so that they suffered no
bad effects from their exposure and ex
citing adventure. Dannhc (Scotland)

nOF’T KILL KHOREN - LEGGED
MORSES A N V MOKE.',
It is now argued that it is unnecessary
to kill broken-legged horses, and a point
in case is stated: Twelve weeks ago,
the right hind leg was broken of Mr.
William’s valuable and favorite mare,
in Utica, by a kick from another horse.
The fracture was half way between the
fetlock and the gambrel joints, and was
complete. A veterinary surgeon under
took to set the leg. A canvas sling was
arranged, and the mare suspended in it
in such a way that she could occasionally
rest upon her uninjured limbs. The
fractured leg was then set, bound with
hickory and leather splints, with a heavy
leather boot outside of all. The mare
did well, and never missed a meal. After
three weeks a plaster of Paris bandage
was substituted, and in seven weeks
Collie’' was walking around the stable.
There was no sign of the fracture, and it
is thought that she will keep her 2:40
gait.—A. Y. Tribune.
Two carrier-pijeons were liberated one
day last week at Magnolia, on the Phila

wind was blowing against them. The
distance is seventy-nine miles.

Dr. J. V. Mott has published a paper
in which he shows the beneficial results
of medicated ice where the patient has a
difficulty in swallowing either on account
of re vous irritability orol inflammation
of the larynx. He has found that the
solution can bo frozen without either
separating the ingredients or affecting
their tonic or astringent properties,
while the ice itself is almost tasteless.
The ice is prepared in this way : The
solution of the desired strength is placed
in a thin glass tube, the bottom of which
is smaller than the top. The air is
excluded by a tightly fitting rubber cork
reaching the surface of the liquid. The
tub" is then placed in a vessel containing
a mixture of chopped ice and salt, and
revolved there for twenty minutes, when
the medicated solution will be turned
into a solid mass, which can be easily
removed from the glass tube by the
application of a warm cloth to the out
side of the glass. Ice thus made has
been found of great value by Dr. Mott
in cases of diptheria, quinsly, laringitis,
and croup.
HOW mA MONOS ARK MIKED.
The diamond fields are in the Orangs
free states, about seven hundred miles
north of Cape Town, and were first dis
covered by a Dutch schoolmaster, who
saw his children playing at jack stones
with brilliant pebbles, and, thinking they
might be valuable, sent some of them to
Cape Town. It is needless to state that
he boob discovered their value. When
first discovered they could be found on
the surface, and some of the best dia
monds found were picked up on the sur
face.
They are now mined in this manner :
Imagine, if you please, a large hole cov
ering an area of twenty or thirty square
acres, two hundred feetdeep, from which
every particle of the dirt taken out has
been sifted and the diamonds taken out.
At a depth of one hundred feet there
was struck a vein of hard clay soil, which
i estimated to be five hundred feet
thick. The soil is lifted out in baskets
by means of pulleyi and ropes and
soaked in water until soft, when it is
worked to the consistency of cream, and
then strained through fine seives, thus
separating the diamonds from the
“ mash.”
Last year * scientific gentleman dis
; covered that the clay thus sifted made
excellent brick when pressed and burned,
and a stock company was organ zed
work it. I have a specimen brick in my
jsisseseion, and it is studded in several
places with minute diamonds that passed
through the seive.
