WHISKERS FROM THE SEA,
Something Coneernlhg the Formation of
a Curious Marine Growth.
There is a marvelous marine growth
colled Bfirtularia whichhas the appear­
ance of a delicate bush, although its
slender stalks or fibers are built up by
thousands of minute animals, some­
thing as the coral polyp builds up the
coral. It is found, says the New York
Sun, in dumps and bunches on wreck­
age and stones and elsewhere, and
sometimes it is torn loose in storms and
driven ashore. The many thousands
of tiny creatures which have built it
up and inhabit it die, and the dead bush
is called- a skeleton. Jts fibers shrink
some now and they are even finer than
they were. They may be a foot in
length sometimes nearly two feet.
They are brown, some bunches being
dark and some of a lighter shade.
As the children of the carpenter
adorn themselves with shavings from
their father's workbench, so do the
children of the fishermen with the ser
tularia cast up from the sea. Its fibers
fire pretty nearly straight so they can­
not be made to serve as ringlets, as
«urly shavings do, but the girls take
the longer, finer bunches, which are us­
ually the lighter in shade, and make of
them long brown tresses. The boys
make great mustaches of the sertu
laria, and flowing Dundreary whiskers
and sober beards. In wandering along
the shore one might come upon
r. stranded boat hauled high above, the
tide with her side stove in, perhaps, so
that she would not float, but occupied
byadreamingyouth in sertularia beard
nnd mustache, who imagined her a gal­
lant. ship and himself her bearded com­
mander.
RUINED BY A CONTRACT.
An Iron Founder Undertakes Something
Outside of His Line.
The founder of the Vendome column
In Paris met with financial ruin in his
contract. The French government,
when it decided to erect the notable
column, entered into a contract with an
iron founder, «iys the Philadelphia
Record, He knew nothing whatever of
modeling or casting in bronze. The
government agreed to supply him witH
cannon captured from the Russians
nnd Austrians during the campaign of
JS05, in quantities sufficient to found
the monument. The contractor, know­
ing nothing of the phenomena which
the fusion of bronze offers, found when
two-thirds of the column was com­
pleted that he had used up all his mettal.
Sufficient bronze had been given him to
.complete the monument, and he was
responsible for the entire amount.
Finding himself face tojfacewitiibank
ruptcy he melted up his ftcoriae and
mixed the metal with cheap refuse
which he purchased, and so completed
the founding. The castings, however,
were found to be so full of flaws that
the work was stopped, and the founder
ruined. The moldings of the different
parts of the bas-relief were so badly
executed that
the chiselers who repaired
the defects removed no less than 70
tons of bronze. They received for their
labor 12,000, to which was added the
70 tons of bronze, which became their
perquisites. The whole transaction was
very, very French.
BROKEN WIRE.
How the Telegraph Operator Tells Where
the Break Is Located.
Perhaps the greatest of all mysteries,
to the uninitiated, about telegraphy is
the fact that when a wire is broken or
damaged the operator, sitting in his
office, can tell exactly where the acci­
dent has occurred.
The explanation, however, is very
simple. It requires force to send elec­
tricity through a wire, just as it does to
pump water through a hose. The
longer the wire is the greater is the
force required. This foree is meas«
nred but, instead of calling it pounds,
ns in the measuring the pressure in a
boiler, electricians call the units of elec­
trical force "ohms."
Suppose a wire between two offices is
150 miles long, and that, on a stormy
night, it gets broken somewhere. The
telegraphist knows that when the wire
was sound it takes just 2,000 ohms to
send a current through", or 14 ohms per
mile. He now finds that he can send a
current with only 700 ohms. He di-
A'ides
700 by 14, and finds that the break
in the wire is 50 miles from his end.
When the wire is under th£ sea a cu­
rious thing happens. The electricity
decomposes the sea salt, and anew salt
is formed on the broken ends of the
wire and until that is cleared away by
what is called a zinc current, acting for
ten or twelve hours, no measurement
can be made*_.
Around the Farm.
Rats infesting the granaries and
cribs on the farm have always been a
source of a great deal of annoyance and
only occasionally do we see the recepta­
cles for corn and grain so constructed
as to be rat proof. To make them so
requires a good ceal of extra effort. We
believe, plenty of good cats are prefer­
able to rats. A supply of female cats
will keep the farm rid of rats, and they
need not: be kept about the house either.
They can be taught to stay where they
are needed.—Coleman's Rural World.
Slot More Destructive.
Strange to say, :?aj the Military Ga­
zette, the improvement in firearms has
not increased the murderous results of
battles. The battles which have been
fought in the South American wars
nSnee 1890 show that only one out of
#u»h TO men engaged was killed. In

EGYPTIAN SNAKE CHARMERS.
Account of a Performance Said to Ilayc
Takten Place iu Cairo.
The following story of a "snake
charmer" is borrowed frovi a Paris pa­
per. The reader is expected to use hi.*
own discretion as to believing or ex­
plaining it. The. incident is said to have
taken place in Cairo,where the narrator.
Monsieur Vigouroux.while walking the
streets with", a friend fell in with a
''mild-looking young man" who pro­
fessed to be a snake-charmer. The two
visitors engaged him to come to then
hotel the next d-ayand give them an ex-
hibition of pcrtvers.1
Guards were stationed around the
building to prevent the charmer from
getting into it before the appointed
•time: When he arrived he was let in
the first courtyard. He was asked if there
were any snakes there.
"Yes," he replied, "a great many."
As a precautionary measure he was
conducted into -^.n interior court in the
center of the paiace. There he was
asked if he could catch a snake. Th'
charmer whistled for a few seconds, and
then listened attentively.
"Yes," said he, "there is a snake on
this side," pointing to the wall. A
bargain was then made with him, the
rate being a shilling a snake. He im­
mediately went to work with the air
of a man who understood his business
and was perfectly sure of the result.
Standing in. the center of the court-,
gazing at the wall where he said the
reptile was concealed, he began to re­
cite a prayer or conjuration in Arabic,
in which he addressed the serpent, say­
ing in substancqs that everything and
every creatureTmust yield to the power
o£ God. He also invoked Solomon and
some celebrated Mussulman personages.
While he was rfeciting this formula he
sometimes stood perfectly straight,
sometimes he Teaned forward, and last­
ly he fell on his knees. When he had
finished he picked up a little rod that
lay beside him, and scratched the wall
with it, advancing toward the door of
the building leading to the court. At
the door he stopped and said:
"Here he is come and look at him."
The party advanced, and on a line
with his arm at the plade where he had
directed the rod, they distinctly saw
the head of a snake protruding from a
hole in the wall. The snake-charmer
grabbed the head and pulled out a long,
thin and wriggling reptile. He made
it fasten its fangs in his garment. Then
he pulled violently and showed the
snake's teeth in the stuff. At last lie
threw the reptile on the ground, ex­
cited it, and tossed it into his leather
bag.
"How did you know," he vras asked,
"that there was a snake in that wall?"
"I smelt him," was the answer.
And certainly there seemed to be no
room to suspect a trick. One of th*
party remarked that the chanmer might
possibly have snakes concealed in his
clothes. The,fellow immediately threw
off his blue blouse, which was his oulv
covering, shoo* it in the presence
of the assemblage. He was asked
there were any more snakes in that
court. After a moment's inspection h?
replied:
In this wall there is a big one and
a little one."
He was told to catch the little one
first. He recited his praj'er, and added
to it a command to the big snake to lie
still while he captured the little one.
Then he proceeded with his wand along
the wall, as before. When he reached
the door he called us, saying: "Here he
is!"
The head was sticking out oft he hole.
He grabbed it, pulled out t!ie snake, and
broke its fangs in the manner described
above. But the x'eptile bit him in the
arm and drew blood. The bite didn't
bother him. He threw the snake on
the ground among the spectators, who
stood in utter amazement. Then he
went to work again.
It was the big snake's turn now. He
was yanked out like the other two. Not­
withstanding the apparent impossibili­
ty of fraud, the thing was so surpris­
ing that doubts were still expressed.
"Let him come into the garden," said
one of the spectators, "nnd catch snakes
there then we^wi^'be convinced."
The charmer was led out into the
garden. Near a heap of rubbish anu
weeds he began to whistle, then he an­
nounced a snake.
"Yes, there afe two," said he. Then
stooping down he pulled one out, and.
as he had left his leather bag in the
courtyard, he put the head of the rep­
tile into his moutih and held it there
while he secured the second.—X. Y.

Wonderful Feather Work.
Among the strange tribes of men
about whom little is known are the
Chamacocos, living on the upper Para­
guay river. An Italian, artist, Signor
Boggiani, who visited these people not
long ago, has given a vivid description
of their appearance and customs. Like
all wild tribes in warm countries, they
wear very little clothing, but they excel
in the art of making personal adorn­
ments from the feathers of birds. Their
country abounds with birds of the most
beautiful plumage, including parrots,
toucans and trogons, whose feathers
are dazzling in color, rheas, with gray
plumes, musk ducks of a glossy black
color, egrets with feathers of pure
white, and spoonbills of a dclicate pink
hue. The Chamdipq^.combine all this
wealth of colored and graceful plumage
in an artistic mariner*and some of these
savages, tall and of perfect shape, walk
their forest glades in habiliments more
brilliant, if less ample, than a Paris
modiste could produce.—Golden Days.

ELECTRICITY FROM COAL.
A Process Which May Revolutionise
Methqdaof tieneratlttg 1'onror. .'
"When* we. remember," said a well
known citizen to a Washington Star re­
porter, "that the finest triple-expansion
engine on one of the great ocean liners
only obtains about 14 per cent, of theo­
retical efficiency in burning her coal,
and that our ordinary steam engine
does not get over six or seven per cen*.
therefrom, we cannot overestimate the
recent discovery of a process for gen­
erating
vthe
electric current direct from
coal, or coke, and from the process, it
is claimed by its inventor, 87 per cent,
of the theoretical efficiency of th? coal
used has been obtained. Further, it is
claimed that the cost will be from one
fifth to one-tenth of the present ex­
pense. The process seems simple
.enough, for we take a quantity of coke,
^reduce it to powder, and make it into
big, round sticks of carbon, that then
look a good deal like giant firecrackers,
or the sticks of carbon for an electric
arc light, though very milch enlarged.
This stick carbon is suspended in a cyl­
indrical iron pot, containing an electro
lyte of melted caustic soda. And
when a current of air, introduced by a
small tube, is driven through this solu­
tion, electrical action is set up, pro­
ducing a current of 'extraordinary vol­
ume.
"To gain the necessary voltage, or
electric pressure, 100 or more of these
iron pots may be put together and their
rims connected by a wire. The whole
plant, or, it may be called a battery,
must be inclosed in an oven, to keejrthe
solution up to a uniform temperature
of about 400 degrees Centigrade.
"A pump to drive the air through the
solution is all the machinery that is re­
quired. No boilers, no engine, no
dynamo, no ashes, no water, no endless
quantity of supplies are needed.
"The annual expenditure for steam
power in the United States is estimated
at about $450,000,000—an equivalent, it
is said, of all the annual cost of our gen­
eral government, including all improve­
ments and expenditures on public
works. The new process will reduce
this expenditure for power to less than
$100,000,000. Then, again, there are
over $1,100,000,000 invested in steam en­
gines alone in the United States the
first cost of the new process would be
one-fourth of their present value, and
thereafter they can be run for one-fifth
of their present expense. So, it is
claimed by the inventor, that upward
of three-fourths of a billion of dollars
will be saved in the first cost alone.
"The expense of maintenance, or,
rather, of attending the process, it is as­
serted, will be very small. The carbon
cylinder will last 150 hours, or even
more: the inclosing oven lias a self
feeding attachment, and the attention
required will be no more than an ordi­
nary small steam-heating house ar
rangement."
A POPULAR FALLACY.*
Fall In Temperature of Ocean Does Xot
Indicate Presence of Ice.
For many years an opinion* existed
among seamen and others that a fall in
the sea-surface temperature implied
nearness of ice. Nothing, says the
Nautical Magazine, can be more remote:
from the truth, though shore folk still
perpetuate this fiction in books and
newspapers. A sudden fall in sea
surface temperature is likely near the
Agulhas, the Japanese current, the gulf
stream, while running the Easting down
in the South Indian ocean, in the South
Atlantic about 40 degrees south, 40 de­
crees west, and elsewhere nnd this,
whether icebergs be near or hundreds
of miles away. Capt. S. T. S. Lccky, It.
N. It., to whom the nautical profession
is indebted for his "Wrinkles in Prac­
tical Navigation," was probably the
first to'draw the attention of his breth­
ren to this fact. In the ninth edition of
his book he points out that "allied to
fog is the question of danger from ice.
It is a popular delusion among passen­
gers on board ship that, by taking the
temperature of the water at short in­
tervals, the approach to ice is unfailing­
ly indicated. Unfortunately such is by
no means the fact, and it is time the idea
was exploded. More than ordinarily
cold water merely shows that the ship is
in a part of the ocean where ice may
possibly be encountered, and not that
it is actualy present." Shipmasters of
repute freely confess, with Capt. Evans,
of the Tainui, that they have "never
found sea temperature, fall lower when
near ice than when several miles away"
from the danger.
A PREHISTORIC HORSE.
FomU
Bemalns That Are Found in the
Bockles.
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, of the
American Museum of Natural History,
in the Century describes the remarka­
ble fossil remains that are found near
Bridger Lake, in the Rockies. He says:
If we leave the lake shore, and pass
into the drier upland, we discover the
clever little four-toed horse, swift, alert,
intelligent. He is, to use the modern
measure, only four hands, or 16 inches,
high, so he would not reach the knee of
tM Ulntathere, and could be devoured
at- on3 sitting by the Patriofelis. His
limbs are as slender as pencils. His
large eyes are much farther forward
than in the horse. He could readily
hide among the taller stalks, and it is
possible that he had the beginning of
protective stripes imitating reed shad­
ows upon his neck and name. In his
hair and coloring, however, we pass into
pure conjecture. "His well-worn chisel
shaped front teeth indicate that he was
already a cropper or browser, and the
evident secret of his triumphant per­
sistence over his ponderous contem­
poraries is that he learned to browse
just about the time that grasses began
to appear. He was the animal of the
times..
Dress and Disease.
Prof. Teufelsdroch, of Carlyle's "Sar­
tor Resartus," has found a successor in
a Russian scientists who traces all man's
direases to the clothes-wearing habit—
which is traceable directly to Adam and
