glass, rub it quickly with a silk handkerchief
and hold it for half a minute before the fire,
then apply it near to the ond of the pipe, and
the latter, attracted by the electricity evolv
ed by the friction and warmth in the former,
will immediately follow It, and by carrying
the glass around, always in front of the pipe,
this will continue its rotatory motion, the
watch glass being the center or pivot on
which it acts.

EXPERIMENT WITH FRICTION*!, ELECTRICITY.
Another experiment in this same direction
may be readily conducted as follows: Warm
a glass tube, rub it with a warm flannel, and
then bring a downy feather near It. On the
first moment of contact the feather will ad¬
here to the glass, but soon after will fly rap¬
idly from it, and yon may drive it about the
room by holding the glass between it and the
surrounding objects; should It, however,
come in contact with anything not under the
influence of electricity, It will instantly fly
back to the glass.

Confectioner’s Colon.
No confectioner will admit that he use*
anything but the yolks of eggs to gain the
beautiful yellow of some of his handiwork;
but according to Druggist tunnprio is used
and is not only innocuous but healthful.
Green is generally a color looked upon with
suspicion, suggesting thoughts of arsenic.
Spinach is the thing now most extensively
used in the trade, sap green having been
ruled out of court. Druggists might prepare
and profitably sell agreenoolor for confec¬
tionery by beating one pound of spinach into
a stone mortar and afterwards rubbing it
through a-fine sieve. One pound of fine sugar
is then to be incorporated with it The quan¬
tities to be used for coloring will depend en¬
tirely on the shade of green required. A
chocolate color may be produced by essence
of coffee, and burnt onions are the best
browning for soups and gravies. The color¬
ing power of saffron is known to everybody,
but the flavor it also imparts is not often re¬
quired. a
Relations of tbe Color Sensations.
It is thought that when we see a red light
certain nerves in the eye are affected, and
convey a peculiar sensation to the brain that
we call red. These nerves are sensitive to
red light, but are not sensitive to any other
light, except in a moderate degree. Another
set of nerves in the eye are peculiarly sensi¬
tive to green light, and still another set are
affected by violet light. Hence the sensations
caused by these three colors are called the
three elementary color sensations, and from
the combinations of these sometimes come
countless shades of color. When one of these
colors falls on the eye we see it distinctly.
When two—say the red and the green—meet
the eye; both sets of nerves are affected at
once, and we get a sensation that is neither
red nor green, but yellow. In the same man¬
ner when green and violet meet in the eye
the two sets of nerves are excited and we see
not green and violet, but blue. In the same
manner, if red, green and violet light enters
the eye all the nerves are excited at once,
and wo see not three colors but one, which is
white.
Purple
Red.
Yellow.
White.
A COLOR DIAGRAM.
The accompanying diagram was originally
employed by Alfred M. Mayer and Charles
Barnard in their work on “Light," with a
view to assisting the reader in remarking the
relation the color sensations bear to each
other. The red and green combine to make
yellow, the green mingled and violet to give make blue,
and all three together ns white,
We may also combine red and violet light
and get purple light.
A Substitute for Glass.
The new substitute for glass adopted in
some of the public buildings of London has
several advantages claimed for it, pliancy
being one of these. Photographic News ex¬
plains that the basis of the material is a web
of fine iron wire, with warp and weft threads
about one-twelfth of an inch apart, this be¬
ing inclosed, like a fly in amber, in a sheet of
translucent varnish, of which the base Is lin¬
seed oik It is almost as transparent as glass,
and of a pleasant amber color, varying in
shade from very light golden to pale brown.

Investigations by Uaraiier and L'Hote seem
to prove that the proportion of gluten in

that it depends on the proportion of nitrogen

The Postal and Cable Telegraph
Company will probably hare its wires
to Griffin before long.
On yesterday it was to emeu 'an
office in Atlanta and siniulb "eously
in a number of other Southern cities.
For some time the erection of this
company’s fine has attracted atten¬
tion, and the public has awaited with
a good den\ of interest to see what
kind of service it would offer. The
indications are that it will be very
fine. It is not likely that there will
be a rate war, for the new conn-
pany announces that it will not do a
cut-throat business, but will make
promptness its trump card.
Mr. Milton Orr, the Atlanta nmua-
ger, is enthusiastic over the prospect#
* or ®° uth * ra business.
"In the first place we have the
finest line ever built in the LTnited
States,” said he. “The company uses
nothing but heavy copper wire strung
on cedar poles, has fitted the offices
with the latest and most improved
apparatus and will employ the best
operators money e'an get. Prompt*
ness will be the feature of the busi¬
ness. I have employed white meg.
senger boys who will be uniformed
handsomely in gray with gold trim¬
mings, and I will see that the mes¬
sages are delivered promptly. We
will put up call boxes in the principal
business houses at once, and willgiye
the the business business men men every every facility facility * for for
communicating . with all • parts of the
country with dispatch. The com¬
pany is ten years old in the North,
and already covers all the points At¬
lanta does business with. We cover
all the eastern, northen and western
States, and the south as ter down as
Birmingham, Alabama. In a tew
#eeks we will reach Savannah,
Charleston and New Orleans.
“The promptness with which this
company does business is illustrated
by a case which occurred the other
day in Philadelphia. Over the
Postal and Cable Telegraph
company’s land line and over the
Maekay-Bennett cable, owned by the
same syndicate, a message was sen*
from Philadelphia to Melbourne,
Australia, and answered in fourteen
minutes. It is an every day business
for the Maekay-Bennett cable to
transmit messages from the New
York to London stock exchange and
back in Bix or seven minutes.’''
“Has this company come to stay?”
“I should think so. It Is ten years
old and has fifteen or twenty thous
and miles of wire, reaching from
Portland, Me., to California. It has
forty or fifty lines from New York
to Chicago, and has invested alto¬
gether $12,000,000. It is owned
mainly by Maokay, the California
bananza millionaire, whose wealth is
estimated at $80,000,000. The
other leading stockholder is James
Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the
New York Herald. When the South¬
ern Telegraph Company was closed
out they said they would come South;
and make a determined fight fori
business, and that is what they pro
pose to do now. Bennett and!
Mac-kay own the Commercial cable,
the only direct cable out of New York,
and over this the foreign business of
the Postal and Cable Telegraph
Company will be transacted. We
will have direct lines from Atlanta
to New York, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Washington and other large cities.’ 1 :

Fifteen Years a Sufferer From Rheu<-

What Hon. W. H. Wilder, Mayor
of Albany, Ga., says: Rheu¬
I suffered fifteen years with
matism, and during that time tried
all the so-called specifics them I that paid I $8.00 could
hear of. One of

and received no benefit from any of
them. My grandson, who runs on
the B. & W. Railroad, (Prieklv finally Ash, got Poke a
bottle of P. P. P.

cross, and induced me to take it.
The first bottle showed Sts Wonderful
effects, and after continuing the the use
of it for a short time rheumatism
disappeared, and I feel like a new
