‘.'-V'i-* u :• - A Sea of Pale White Fire. During the whole of the present year, as well as the last five months of 1889, the whole of the Sea of Yenice has been as one vast ex panse of phosphorescent wave whenever lashed^to even the slight est extent by the winds. Former ly this luminous appearance has only been noticed at intervals of about ten or fifteen years, then only from the beginning of the summer until about the end of har vest, and in places abounding-with sea grass. Now everything seems changed, the whole surface of the sea or gulf appearing as a sea of pale white fire as soon as darkness sets in on a windy night. In calm nooks, the mere drawing of a stick or cane back and forth through the water is sufficient to give the effect of an electric flash, the light dying out and again returning with the ebulitions of the water. A flask filled with the water emits no light until shaken violently; the intro duction of a lead pencil or small stick, however, willjcause the fluid to glow with greater intensity than any amount of shaking on the part of the experimenter. Strained through a fine cloth, the water loses all of its peculiar properties, they having been imparted to the cloth, which nows flickers and glows all over the entire surface like the spot where a damp match has been scratched in the dark. After the last mentioned peculiar ity was noticed scientists made ex amination of cloths used in such operations and were rewarded for their pains by the discovery of the light-giving midge, a minute worm or maggot, scarcely the one-seven- hundredth of an inch in length, each bow-shaped and very lively. Each of the little creatures is pro vided with twenty-two mamilse in stead of feet, eleven on each side, and has eleven luminous rings around his tiny body. Persons liv ing on the shore of the gulf say that when the waters sparkle more than usual it is sure sign of a storm. Ohio’s Champion Woman Walker. gjpf M*- inti m m The champion lady pedestrian of Ohio lives in Middleport, two and one-quarter miles below the Tele graph office, in Pomeroy, where she has,been employed as a com positor for the past eight year^ Every week day, winter and sum mer, for the eight years she has walked to and from her work, with but six weeks’ rest. Her fralks average twenty-seven miles per week, through rain and sunshine, snow, mud and summer heat, and she often clambers around the bluffs to .get by flooded districts. This gives her 1,404 miles per year, or 11,232 miles in eight years. Subtracting 162 miles for the six weeks she rested she has 11,070 miles still to her credit. During the eight years she has actually performed 24,600. hours of labor, ane has set about 19,680,000 ems of type. When she began walk ing and working she was not en joying good health, but now she is rosy-cheeked. and vigorous, and thinks no more of-, jaunt of half a dozen miles than most ladies do of walking around a square in the city.—New York Telegram. A Plan That Amounts to a Confession. According to Porter’s census fig ures, the southern states have not made as large a gain in population during the ten years from 1SS0 to 1890, as during the decade from 1870 to 1880. Officials of the cen sus bureau, when their attention was called to this manifestly erro neous statement, attempted to ac count for it on the ground that the census of 1870 was very incom plete so far as the southern states were concerned, while that of 1880 was fuller and more accurate. The census of 1870 was taken under a partisan Republican administra tion. What, then, is that plea but a confession that their party is ca pable of doing sectional injustice in the taking of the census, and did so in 1870? And if they did it in 1870, does not that furnish additional reason for beleiving they have done it in 1890? Cer tainly the country had such a strong sectional and partisan ad ministration as the present, and proofs of it are every day accumu lating as the census figures are ex amined.. • residing Mrs. Jacoba Osterling. in Roseland. a suburb, gave birth on October 23rd, to a female child, the eightheenth offspring of a mar ried life of fourteen years. Mrs. Osterling is but 33 years of age and of robust constitution. Her husband is a mechanic, a sturdy man of 35. Mrs. Osterling gave birth to her first child ten months after her marriage. Then follow ed twins and triplets at appropriate intervals. She has given birth to five pairs of twins and one set of triplets, and of the eighteen children fourteen are yet alive. Dr. P. W. Holman, the physician who attended Mrs. Osterling at this last birth and several previ ous ones, says there is no reason why she should not continuo to multiply. The father, however, is not enthusiastic.—Cincinnati En quirer. Quantities in Weights and Measures. Ten eggs make one pound.

Roy’s JBlood Purifier An American girl writes to a newspaper in Philadelphia from London that English people of the aristocratic classes are far from handsome. She says: “We went several times to the opera and the aters, and as it was during the sea son we had the opportunity of see ing a good deal of the English ar- istocracy, and a plainer set I never saw. If ‘bine blood’ looks like that, give me red.” There are 113 places in the United States named after “Mad” Anthony Wayne. A father loves his child. A mother worships it. Both decide the child should occasionally be given Dr. Bull’s Worm Destroy ers. To the list of poisons may be added, as a source of occasional danger, the* fragant nutmeg. At least one fatal case has. occurred, where a hoy of eight, having eaten two nutmegs, fell into a comatose condition and died within twelve hours. m The kid glove trade in this coun- tryis enormous. Last year there' were imported fully 2,000,000 doz en of fine kid, gloves. This is lin addition to the large number. of American-made goods consumed. The trade in fabrics, the lisle -thread, the silk andthecassimeres, is very much larger than the kid glove traffic. It is simply enor mous.
