AMBROSE WHITE. The death ofAmbroseWhite,at a New York hospital on Friday last from an operation for appendicitis, has cast a gloom over the entire community. Eighteen years of age, of fine family, good health, and apparently with every prospect for a. long and useful life, he was called away with appalling suddeness, that can well cause us to reflect on the uncertainty of this mor- tal life. He was born at the family homestead at Cannon and was the son of the late Major Charles White for many years a surgeon in the U. S. Army. While a pupil at the Wilton Academy he showed extraordinary abilities as a student, and during the past year at a Norwalk Academy had. completed the studies preparatory to a college course, and expected to enter Yale the coming year. He had apparently been in his usual health until five days before his death when he was taken‘ suddenly ill with what rapidly developed into appen- dicitis, and on Wednesday his condi- tion had become so alarming that it was deemed advisable to remove him to New York for an operation. The journey was made on the evening express which stopped near his home; and, attended by two physicians and his mother and sister, the long journey was made as comfortably as could be expected. The operation, which was performed immediately on his arrival at the hospital, was apparently successful until Friday morning, when he grew ‘1 rapidly worse, and passed away about milnight, conscious to the last . and able to bid good-bye to. his. mother,- sisters and brother, who had been _ Golf club was held at the home of Mrs. _ summoned to his bedside. The funeral services were held from St. Matthew’s church on Monday after- noon, the rector, and Rev. Charles M. Selleck, officiating. The crowded con- dition of the church conveyed to the sorrowing family a part of the deep sympathy felt for them in this sad time. WHAT THEY STUDY. The Young Man’s Course Didn’t Give Him Time for the Fine Arts. A most amusing cbnversatlon took place not many months ago between a Chicago young woman student and one of the opposite sex who was following a scientific course in a neighboring city. The young woman had “gone in” for art, literature, languages, music, etc., and was inclined to patronize the scientific young man, who had had lit- tle time for such things. “How many hours a week do you devote to literature?” she asked. “None this year,” was the reply. “What languages do you study?” “None. I read German; that is enough.” . “Doesn’t your professor read some great play‘of Shakspeare with you? Don’t you study some great world poem? Don’t you study something about art or music?” “‘No. I have time for none of these things.” “I study metallurgy,” replied the young man, who happened to be an em- bryo mining engineer. I study ther- modynamics. I Study lithology, the theory of probabilities, differential equations, quantitative analysis, blow- piping, electricity, hydrodynamics, ore- dressing, mining law, assaying, pol- itical ecenomy, the strength of ma- terials and several other things. These I must know something about by June next or my examinations will cause me trouble. I put in four house at lectures and recitations and three in the labatory five days in the week. Sat- urdays I work from 8 to 5 in the as- saying laboratory. - I have no time for fine arts or world poems.”—'—IChicago Post. MAKING WOOD RIMS FOR BICYCLES. An Interesting and Lucrative Industry in Maine. The average annual output of wood novelties in Maine has a value well over $1,000,000. One of the most in- teresting branches of the industry is the manufacture of weed rims'for bi— cycles. The factory where the manu- facture is carried on has a floor space of 74,800 feet; its daily output averages about 1,800 rims, and the value of its yearly product is about $120,000. The wood used is rock maple, and each rim is composed of three pieces glued and pressed together with such force and exactitude that the rim appears like one piece, and only the most searching examination can detect the joints. After these pieces have been steamed, bent, and glued, they are sub- mitted to an enormous pressure in a steam-power machine. They are then taken to the lathes, one of which turns the concave surface of the outside, and another the convex surface of the in- side of the rim. After passing on to the sandpaper machine for smoothing, they are stained and varnished and bored for the spokes, and are ready for shipment. The wood must be per» feet, an-d not the least defect or dis- coloration is allowed to pass. Much of the machinery has been designed, ex- pressly for this plant, and the ma- chines as well as all the steps in the construction of the rims require the supervision of skilled mechanics—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. THE NEGRO AS A FARMER. No Race I’vejudlces to Contend Against in This Occupation. The negro is a. born farmer and at,- riculture is his natural occupation. By some sort of intuition he knows how to till the soil, and it is the occupation that seems to suit him best of all others. It is the most inviting field of industry to the black man. Here at least he will not have to contend against race prejudice, and here he is on an equali‘tyé—from a. business stand- point—with the white man. Nature is no respecter of persons, and, all things else being equal, the lands of the black man will produce as fruitful- ly as the lands of the white man. Whatever objections may exist to the negro on account of his race, they all. disappear in the corn field. Nobody stops to inquire whether a bale of cot- ton or a barrel of corn was produced by a white man or a black man. The black man is wise, therefore, if he se- lect agriculture as his occupation in life. He may always find a small farm for rent, and by thrift and industry he may from year to year lay by enough to eventually own the farm. Once in possession, he is an independent cit- izen, with a home which no man may deprive him of and upon which—bar- ring politics—no intruder dare tresr pas-s.~Richmond Times.

Whether a man be really dead or not may 'be read in the veins of the eye. This important discovery has been made by Dr. Shalmers Prentice, an eminent Chicago oculist. He says that he can tell to a certainty by the appear- ance of veins and arteries in the hu- man eye whether there be any spark of life left where death has been pro- of such a nature that death will never be pronounced unless the examination of the eye veins show it is absolutely certain. ‘ There has always been a. widespread, haunting fear among people of being buried alive, and Dr. Prentice’s dis- covery, if it be all he claims for it, will remove this fear. » His experiments along this line he- ban some twenty years ago. He had observed that in life the veins and art- eries of the retina have distinct differ- ences in color. The veins contain a dark, blackish binod, while the arteries contain bright crimson. At the back part of the eyeball these two shades of blood may besseen under the light of the opht‘halmoscope dividing the re- tina. Even in the case of the blind this distinction in shade may be seen, unless, of course, an opaque film has formed over the injured eyes, or the eyes have been entirely destroyed. In death, however, Dr. Prentice has found that the shade distinction en- tirely disappears. The blood in both arteries and veins is transformed into a pinkish color of uniform shade. An exhaustive examination has been made and Dr. Prentice has never found his simple test to fall. In a. case of suspended animation, where others had pronounced death, he observed the shade distinction and saved 'the man ram being buried alive—New York Journal. - CURRENT HUMOIR. “Miss Renfr-ew—“Alice,” he cried, “I must speak.

' ' ' The inventive talent of Miss Jennie Wertheimer, 'a young lady of Cincin- nati, 0., has won for her a fortune. Three years ago she hit upon a scheme for commercial paper which would electually exclude all possibility of raising amounts on checks, forging names or otherwise tampering with its face value. The principakfeatures of her invention lies in the form and par- ticular make-up of the paper and checks to be used. From the top of the note to the name of the person in favor of whdm the amount is made out, the paper material has the usual thickness. But from that point, or rather just below the name, the paper gradually tapers until it be- comes thin and transparent as tissue paper. Now, iftthe amount has been raised, if any changes have been made from the original draft, or if any chemicals have been used or in any manner the note has been tampered with this will be shown immediately by holding it up against the light. Miss Wertheimer placed the matter in the hands of a leading attorney of Cincinnati, and through him received an offer from a New York firm to sell her entire patent to them for $25,000 cash, they also to pay her attorney’s . fees—New York World.

A simple and ingenious device has been. patented for the automatic clos- ing of elevator doors. The moment the car begins to ascend, the door on the ground floor commences to close, and by the time the deduct the ear is 3 feethigh, it is shut and tightly luck? ed. The door of the first floor landing begins to openwhen the elevator is about 3 feet below it, and is wide open at the exact moment when the oer-u- pants are prepared to step out. Fur- ther upward movement causes the door, to shut again, and the same sequence of operations again accurs. There is not a rope, or pulley, or weight con- necred with the device, and the only spring used, which acts on the door catch, is small, always in sight, and easily renewed. The doors are unlock- ed by the pressure of the moving ele vator on this spring. Elk-chic Light Aids the Andria It is a well known fact that fish, like insects, are attracted to any bright light; and a French entomologist has lately taken advantage of this circum- stance in fiishing for specimens in a pond. With a. portable battery and a small incandescent electric lamp at- tached to a net he was able to secure a large number of fish, larvae, tad- poles, etr'etcra, at one operation. ’i‘he net, measuring about a yard across, was slowly lowered into the water, and when it reached the bottom of the pond - the little lamp above it was connected with the battery. All the livr..g creat- ures within reach of the a}; natus rushed towards the light, and Yrs: e im- mediately secured in the net. 1". is obvious that the method is ar.;:!’rs:ble on a far larger scale, and n:;~._v prove to be of great service to night fisher- men. o Willing to Exchange. A young matron on North Nevada avenue was putting her 5-year-old son to bed the other night during a terrific wind storm, relates Colorado Springs Facts. When she was about to leave him he objected vcciferously against staying alone while the storm raged. “But, dear,” said the mother, “you must not mind the storm. Remember, God is here and; protects you even while you sleep.” This assurance quieted him for awhile, but presently a arrific gust of wind struck the house and made it rock on its foundations. There was a pit-pat on the stairs, and the li‘ttle'fellow appeared at the door, his face white with fear. The mother took him back and again comforted. him with the assurance of God's pres- ence, but she had hardly regained the sitting room before the wind struck the house another terrific blow. As it passed on a wee voice came from the head of the stairs: “Mamma, mamma, if you come up here and stay with God I’ll come down with papa.” Ies,\'el‘y. “That Mrs. Billkins must be an. aw: ful aristocratic lady the way she waltzes." “Oh, my, yes; she even uses per- fumed air to erl the tires of her wheel!” - ,-.. / \ . / ‘ ' L/ For two /. i: is beginning another thority in Cuba. an epoch in American wrll, wrth enormously each week an accurate, iant staff of artists WWWWWWWWVIWWWWVWV . ~ 0 . ~. ‘ From receipt of or- der to Jan. 1, 1899 ARPER’S WEEKLY f dollars. era in its existence.
