A Lamp of Luminous Microbes.
1 A strange lamp has been con
structed by a French professor. A
glass globe, placed on a metal stand,
is nearly filled with liquid composed
of luminous marine microbes. There
are two tubes running from the
globe, and through these a supply
of air can be sent to the interior
when the light grows dull, the effect
apparently being to revivify the mi
crobes. The light from this lamp
will last for several weeks without
renewal of the illuminating medium.

Driving a Mill by Spund Waves.
An interesting scientific toy, the
action of which is explained by the
theory of sound waves, has recently
attracted attention in England, Mr.
Bergen Davis, having observed that
a small cylinder, closed at one end,
if placed in a sound wave, will ar
range itself perpendicular to the
wave . and begin to move in the di
rection* of its own axis, arranged
four such cylinders on a rotating
mill, ’the closed end of each follow
ing the open end of its predecessor,
like the cups of an anemometer, and
then placed the mill in front of an
organ pipe with its axis of rotation
perpendicular to the sound wave is
suing from the pipe. When the or
gan was played, the little mill ro
tated at a high velocity.

Newsboy Scorns a Senator.
Senator Kittredge of South Da

laughs in the heartiest fashion,
looks on life as a pathway of merri

The other morning as Mr. Kit

to the senate a newspaper boy came
along. "All the mernin’ pape’s ''
he said, flourishing a bunch in the
senator's face.
“Give me a Congressional Rec

The boy regarded the senator

Why Some Birds $4*v« Long Tails and
Others Have Short Tails.
The long, tall birds, such as wad
ers, usually hava abort tails. On
the other band, birds with , short
! egs have extremely long tails. Like
great number of such things in
the living, ’hurrying.world about us,
this goes without our taking any no
tice of it. Even those who note
rarely stop to think of the reason.
All the variations in bird struc
ture have taken place to fit the bird
for some special zsode of .life, and
thus we have the wide difference in
appearance. Wading birds have long,
::eatherless legs and get their living
by waiting in the Bhallow water
for fish and crayfish to come near
enough for striking. Their pursuit
of their prey never depends on their
power qr flight or sudden turning in
midair.
The swallow and the nighthayrk,
laving to depend upon catching
swift moving insects, have both de
veloped extremely long tails. The
tail is used as a rudder, and by fit
these birds are enabled to perform
wonderfully quick sallies from side
to side as they sight their insect
orey. Such birds, gaining their liv
ing'wholly in the air, have small and
weak feet, as they are used exclu
sively for perching. A kingfisher,
which gets its living by plunging
into the water, lias a good sized tail
and small feet.
It is probable that herons and
other long legged birds use their
legs and feet as rodders, as they are
stuck straight out behind. Indeed,
all long legged birds seem to be
rather heavy and clumsy fliers, while
those with small feet are graceful in
the air.
Often the shape of tho tail lias a
great deal to do *ith tile manner of
a hawk’s hunting. A large red tail
ed hawk, with its broad, medium
length tail, gets its quarry mainly
by soaring over Open bits of mead
ow land. A sharp shinned hawk
takes its quarry by flying rapidly
through underbrush or timber, and
surprising it. This is possible be
cause of the long tail which can be
used with good effect in suddenly
changing course.

No Negro In Congress.
It is a curious fact that the pres
ent session of congress contains no
negro member. With the exception
of a brief period from 1887 to 1889
this is the first session in thirty-two
years when this has been the case
The first* colored man to be sent to
congress was J. Willis Menard of
New Orleans, who was elected to
fill a vacancy in 1868. In 1870 Hi
ram R. Revells took his scat in the
senate, the first negro to be seated
in that body. Blanche K. Bruce
was the only other negro to • enter
flie. senate. The Forty-fourth con
gress, which sat from 1875 to 1877,
may be called the black .congress,
since there were eight members in
both branches.—Argonaut.

Boy Flndo Rich Mine.
What is believed to be one of the
richest copper deposits in the world
was recently discovered through
boy selling pretty rocks to an assay
(office at San Diego, Cal. Several
weeks ago a small boy came into the
office of Colonel Robbins, an assayer
of San Diego, with some "pretty”
rocks which he wanted to sell. •
The assayer gave him a few nick
els and took the rock. Examination
showed the ore to he almost pure
copper streaked with silver. The
boy had disappeared, but the assay
er kept a standing advertisement m
three papers for several weeks',and
finally located the boy and also his
father.
It was founej^that the ore came
from about twenty-five miles below
the Mexican line, and the boy’s fa
ther, Antonio Feliz, Colonel Rob
bins and J. Wade McDonald have
located the land under the Mexican
law. Development work has begun
