GFRMANY AND FRANCS.
A German editor, or Naw York, Thinks
War Between Them Inevitable.
New York, May 15.—Editor Oswald
Ottemlorfcr, of the Staats Zeitung, ar
rived yesterday on the steamship Werra,
after an absence of five months, iu- Eu
rope. In conversation list bight he
said: “Emperor William is suffering
from trouble in his head, which has
in^le-lmi) partially deaf, and fears are
‘entertained that it will become serious,
lie spends most of his time Inspecting
Germany’s military establishment,
which is undoubtedly the finest in the
woBii. - I'saw soldiers everywhere, and
the object Of the military was qpper-
most in the minds of the people. ' Just
at present' Germany is changing its'
small arms for those of'lighter calibre;
but this is only postponing .the inevi
table event of war between France and
Germany. .' The .people. understand
thiSj'nud feel eoirjident that they can
gite the Frenchmen a sound thrashing
when the times comes.” .

Ati.axta, Ga.: May 13.—Newspaper
correspondents sending *news our from
Griffin hint very broadly Jthat Griffin
may not yet have the eperiment farm.
At the meeting held Saturday it was
decided to give Mr. Bates $10,000 net
for his farm, which proposition he ac
cepts, but which must be paid by June
1st.
The committee, have about $4,000 to
raise above this $10,060 puchase money,
making $14,000 in all. So far they have
only $6,000 ready money. A canvass
of the county is to be made at once to
raise the additional $8,000, and by next
Saturday It wjH be definitely known
whether Spalding county is able to hold
on to what has fallen into her lap, even
without a depurate effort on her part to
obtain it.
The gentlemen composing the com
mittee are among the very best in the
county,' and are determined to leave
nothing undone to secure the station.
It is thought by many, says the cor
respondent of the Macon Telegraph,
that Mr. Bate's had no idea, when he
consented to sell, that Griffin had any
chance at all,and, now that it is settled,
he is sorry and would like to back out.
That his farm is a beauty goes without
question. -

George W. Childs Is Sixty Years Old To-
Day—The Event Observed.
PHn.ADKr.rniA, May 11.—To-morrow
will be George W. Childs’s birthday,
and as the event falls on the Sabbath,
the printers tliroughtout the country,
or rather those east of the Mississippi
River, to-day set up their “Thousand
ems.” On each anniversary of Mr.
Childs’s birth every printer east of the
Mississippi River gives' the proceeds
from*the setting up of 1,000 ems of type
to the Childs-Drexel fund. Those
West of the Mississippi do the same on
the anniversary of Mr.-A. J. Drexel’s
birth. 'The fund will some time in the
future be used in the establishment of
some lasting monument to the two be
nevolent gentlemen named, probably
in the erection of a home for indigent
and aged printers. The anniversary of
the birth of the publisher of the Ledger
was further celebrated here to-night by
a banquet given by the International
Typographical Union ex-Delegates’ As
sociation.
Mr. Childs to-day received many let
ters of congratulation. They came
from printers, printers" unions, pub
lishers and authors. Among them was
a letter from the venerable Robert C.
Wmthrop, of Boston, who will to-mor
row complete his eightieth year. Men
and women engaged in works of benev
olence also forwarded tributes of es
teem and many pretty gifts were also
sent him by close personal friends.
Mr. Childs will to-morrow be 60 years
of age, ami as he sat in his office to-day
the large-hearted philanthropist looked
at least ten years younger. He is en
joying most excellent health, and says
he never felt better. In modestly
speaking of the many tokens of esteem
received Mr. Childs remraked that he
especially appreciated the evidences of
respect from the printers, and the
speeches delivered at their banquet to
night showed the great love and esteem
in which he is held by the printers in
this city.

An Editor’s Experience.
Major Sidney Herbert, a well-known
journalist in agricultural circles, writes
April 18th; Some five years ago I wrote
a letter stating that Swift’s Specific had
cured me of severe rheunatism. Since
that time I have had no return, of the
rheumatic troubles, although frequent
ly exposed to the influences that pro
duced former attacks. Several of my
friends hail a similar experience, and
are firm in their conviction that S. S. S.
brought a permanent cure. The search
ing power of this medicine is shown in
the fact that it developed a scrofulous
taint that was conspicuous in my blood
over thirty years ago, and has removed
the last trace of it. I have also tested S.
S. S. as a tonic after a severe attack of
malarial fever, which kept me in bed for
three months, and am convinced that its
curative and strengthening properties
insured my recovery from that illness,as
I was in a very low condition of health.

C- J. O’FARRELL.
There is. no subject which tlie re
searches of scientists have more com
pletely failed to elucidate than that of
the cause of animal, mineral and vege
table phosphorescence—the light which,
unlike all other* lights, illumines with
out either consuming or giving out any
pereeptilile heat. The ocean is the great
storehouse of phosphorescent light. On
its surface myriads of noctiluca* (little
creatures just visible to the naked eye)
are often seen lighting the waves for
miles, and presenting wonderful effects
when tlie water is broken by the bow of
a ship or the oars of a boat. Persons who
have passed through a stretch of water
crowded with noctiluctu say that the
light they give dims (hat of the stars,
and makes the sea look as though, it were
a vast heaving mass of metal at white
heat.
Tlie intensity of the light is explained
by the immense quantity of the little
animals, which are computed to number
thirty thousand or so to the cubic foot.
Bathers in waters where they abound
have often': been amazed to find, on
emerging, that their bodies are rendered
luminous by the noctilucse that cling to
them.
A kind of sea slug that Is met with in
tlie Mediterranean and the Pacific emits
light from certain spots in the body. It
is capable of being kept in an aquarium,
arid there are usually some specimens in
the famous one at Naples. When dis
turbed or swimming the light makes it
look like a flame in the water.
PYROSOILE.
Tlie most splendid of the many lumi
nous inhabitants of tho sea are the pyro-
somas. At night they look as though -p, — ..... n .
made of glowing white hot iron; clitfus- Ell S 1I,e ’ M,U or G,n *
Ing so strong a light that other fishes are
rendered visible when they happen to
iwim within thespliereof their radiance.
A distinguishing feature of the pyro-
soma is the variety of tints that it gives
forth—orange, green, azure, blue, white,
and various shddes of dark red having
been all noticed by various observers.
A tiny kind of shark that is met with off
the shores of the southern states of
America is a noted light giver. Speci
mens captured and taken into a dark
apartment present an extraordinary spec-
tack*. Tlie entire surface of the head
and body emits a greenish gleam that is
constant, and is not, as in tho case of
most of these luminous inhabitants of
the sea, increased by friction and agita
tion.
Tlie smallness of the fins of this fish
show that it is not an active swimmer,
and the assumption is that its light 13
useful in attracting its prey, on tho .prin
ciple of' the torches used by many sav
ages in fishing. Several kinds of crabs
are luminous. One named' tho sapphirina
is noted for the intensely vivid character
of the light that proceeds from it. So
brilliant is it that it does not need dark
ness to make its presence known, but
corruscates blue, purple, green, gold and
sapphire rays in full daylight. Tho
presence of a school of mackerel is often
Indicated by the phosphorescent gleam
which these fish produce. Fishermen
often descry them at a great distance by
this light, and hasten to surround them
by their nets. It is thought that mack
erel make a secretion which gives the
light, as after they are captured a gleam
ing fluid is noticed running off their
bodies, and sometimes covering the hands
of the mea who toss them from the boat.
FIREFLIES.
It has been urged that the poet was
guilty of an exaggeration in describing
the fireflies as giving sufficient light to
be of any service; but the accounts of
travelers in South America, who tell us
tiiat the natives light their path while
journeying by a couple of these insects
tied to their feet, show that he was
speaking quite within the bounds of pos
sibility. At evening entertainments in
that part of the world it is customary
far ladies to decorate their hair and
dresses with fireflies, confined by deli
cate silken threads.
Tlie natives of Vera Cruz do quite a
large trade in fireflies, which they catch
by waving a blazing coal at the end of a
stick. The insects fly toward the light,
and are captured in nets. Tlie fireflies
of Northern America differ from those
just described in the fact that they emit
their light in capricious flashes, instead
of with a steady, uniform glow. This
peculiarity has gained for them the name
of “lightning bugs." Their light is very
similar to that of our glowworm. A
story is told of some French peasants
who were returning home one night and
saw a meteor fall through the sky in
front of them; about half a mile further
on they canie to a glowing mass in a
ditch and rushed away terrified, declar
ing that a star had fallen upon the earth
and was burning it up, On investigation

it was found that this burning star was

Several varieties of the vegetable king
dom are luminous in a greater or les3
degree. - One of the fungi, which is not
at all uncommon on the waills of damp,
dark mines, caverns, etc., occasionally
emits sufficient light to-admit of the
reading of ordinary print,, by it. The
emission of light from the common po
tato when in a state of decomposition is
sometimes very striking. Several of the
Indian plants and grasses are also lumin
ous, and it is said tiiat in 1845 the moun
tains near Syree were nightly illuminated
by their means. The root stock of a
plant from the Ooraghum jungle, sup
posed to be an orchid, possesses the pe
culiar property of becoming luminous
when wetted, while, when dry, it is
quite lusterless. The hairy red poppy,
the nasturtium and the double marigold
are also luminous to a certain degree.—
