Caum of Dtrmj la Steel.
It lias recently been discovered by a
board of naval experts at the United States
navy yard, Mam’a Island, Cal., that the
cause of the sudden deterioration in the
steel used in building the ucw cruisers
for the government is not due to thn
ravages of a worm, os was supposed,
but is caused by the fungus peronosporua
infestens. so well known as the cause of
potato rot .
With the delicate apparatus procured
by the government for testing the quali¬
ties and detecting fraud in 'Totals in¬
tended for government uses, it haa l>een
ascertained that the minute spons or suds,
which float in the air, are introduced into
the metallic body while in the molten
state during the process of carbonization.
They also lind that this form of steel rot
is alarmingly epidemic in much of the
government material.
A large and profitable field is open to
inventors and scientific men who will do-
vise means to arrest the spores of this
fungus as they are drawn into tho car¬
bonizing furnaces, or who can prevent
their growth and spread either in the
ingot or manufactured forms of steel.—

Wild Silkworm, or India.
For a number of years the deficiency
in the production of mulberry silk haa
drawn the attention of 6ericulturists to
the rearing of the wild silkworms of
India, China, Japan, America and other
parts, and a great many reports have
been published on these wild silkworms,
some of which are already bred in a
state of domesticity or semi-domesticity.
Many of these wild silkworms produce
sAk of great strength and beauty, and
could all be profitably utilized if bred in
their native lands on a large scale. Speci¬
men tycoons and carded and reeled silks
of about twenty different species have
been sent to the Societe d’Acclimatation,
and they will be exhibited in the Paris
International exhibition of 18^9, together
with the specimens of the moths and
prepared lame of the various species.—.

THE ORIGIN OF THE CUCUMBER.
A Colicky Cherub Lets Fall a Fatal
Tear.
Mb. Editor—M r. Hammond’s
well told cucumber story reminds me
of one I once read, about the origin
of the cucumber, which I will relate
as best I can. It seems one bight
that one of the little cherubs after
gazing for some time at the new
moon, thought what a fine thing it
would be to use it for a cradie. It
spread its little wings and was soon
rollicking and tumbling about in the
jollicst manner in its improvised bed.
Hut alas ! i - j >y was soon changed
to sorrow . 1. my have been that it
turned a lilt’ cooler. There are
twenty ; oa reasons. Who shall
say what p,:vcs our own little cherubs
the colic? True it was that in the
midst of its wildest careenings it
flopped over oa its cherubic stomach
and set up such a howl as to add a
discordant sound to the “music of the
spheres.” After various contortions
of the body it doubled itself up like
an animated \ ife and gazed
sorrowfully over mu edge of the
moon. One little stray tear drop
fell down—down—till it reached a
damp, slimy, and miasmatic spot on
the earth. Two little leaves sprang
up where it fell, then a luxurient vine
grew that absorbed all the vlleuess
from the gro Then it blossomed
and gave bi to the eucumber,
which is still it., of reminisencas of a
colicky cherub’s tear.

Stewart on Mr, Mills’ Bill.
The first speech on the Mills bill
by a Georgian was made Wedncs
day night by Judge Stewart. His
speech is spoken ol in terms of com¬
pliment by the few who were at the
night session; but as it did not ap
pear in the Record yesterday morn
ing I have rot been able to form an
opinion on it. Griffin the Judge’s
home, is a center of skilled labor;
doubtless the judge is familiar with
the needs of manufacture. lie surely
has visited the great cotton mill at
Griffin, aud certainly lias familiarized
himself with the necessities (as relat¬
ing to tariffjof the Griffin ice factory.
Judge Stewart is a man much given
to detail. He tries to go to the
very bottom of every question; and
there are those who believe that he
succeeded in doing that very thing
in bis speech on Wednesday night,

“The Proper Study of Mankind is Man,’
says the illustrious Pope. If lie had
included woman in the list, he would
have been nearer the truth, if not so
poetical. Dr. It. V. Pierce has made
them both a lifo of study, especially
woman, and the peculiar derangements
to which her delicate system is liable.
Many women in the land who are ac
qsainted with Dr. Pierce only through
his “Favorite Prescription,” bless him
with all their hearts, for lie has brought
them the panacea for all those chronic
ailments peculiar to their sex, such as
leucorrhcee, prolapsus au l other displace
meats, ulceration, “internal fever,”
bloating, tendency tointoral cancer, and
other ailments. Price reduc 'd to one

Our Offlce Cat,
“the COUNTESS.”
To Yneet the exigencies of this
year’s campaign, the News was on
Monday presented by a kind friend
with a cal. It is very small as yet,
hut will probably grow larger,though
it can not grow any uglier, as will
be seen by tlio above accurate por
trait, photographed by Milton Mitch
ell and engraved in this office with a
corkscrew and a file. It is a brindle
gray, with stripes of some worse col
or. The News being the official
paper of State, county and city, “The
Countess” is so far fed upon “pap,”
though she already shows a fondness
for manuscript with a slight prefer
ence for tariff editorials. As soon as
“The Countess” becomes sufficiently
strong, she will be fed entirely upon
political communications signed
“Vox Populi,” “Many Friends” and
“Voters.” This refers entirely to un
paid communications.
After trying editorial fare for a
day and finding it too thin and poor
for her delicate appotite, “The Coun
tess’- has secured quarters at the
recherche and darkly colored board
ing house of Mrs. Cherry Jackson,
where she will remain until she gets
tough enough to live on tliG free
soup and promises by which the ed
itor manages to maintain existence.
While wo protest that it was not
necessary for her to get her back up
so high about tho mattsr, we hope to
be abio to do hotter by her later on
In the meantime our muse will not
bo disturbed by the ruc-ws of the cat.
