T'FBKRCUI.OSIS has been communi cated to fishes by French bacteriolo gists, and proves fatal very quickly to them, whether the baccilliare derived from human beings, rabbits, or hens, or from peviously infected fish. Tu* bereulosis bacilli from fish, however, have very little effect when injected into rabl its and fowls, the inference being that their power is attenuated in the colder blood of the fish. THE diamond is full of phosphorus. This quality has been known for cen turies and still there are many who do not know it. That is the reason often that gleams of light are seen issuing from the stone in the dark. To this quality alone attaches a great deal of "value. The most phosphorescent stone is the one that is the bestcut. If there is phosphorus in the stone it is greatly enhanced by proper cutting, so that its scintillating faculties are increased. IN the recognized impossibility of completing the battle ships Kearsarge, Kentucky. Alabama, Illinois and Wis consin within the next six months, some of their six-inch guns, of which eacii vessel was provided with 14, have been utilized in arming the auxiliary cruisers. Each of these vessels also had 10 six-pounders, which have been put into service, and forgings have now been ordered to make good those borrowed before the vessels are com pleted ai.d ready for their armament. A GKit.MAX engineer has recently suc ceeded in plating aluminum with cop per by a welding process, and makes the combined materials in such forms that they may Vie soldered, rolled drawn and plated. If this process is successful on a commercial scale it would seem as if the increased useful ness of aluminum is to become prac tically unlimited, as the copper coat ing would remove all obstacles to its nse where it must be in contact with fluids, soldered and painted or plated. A Bt'CKKT 743 miles deep and 743 miles from side to side would hold every drop of the ocean. This bucket could rest quite firmly on the British Isles. To fill the bucket one would need to work 10,01)0 steam pumps, each sucking up 1.000 tons of sea. But to get rid of the earth would be 4.555 times more difficult, requiring 'J.OOO great guns, each firintr 1.000 projectiles a second, each projectile consisting of 100,000 tons of earth. At the end of 1,000 years this mundane sphere would be all shot away. COL. WII.I.IAM AYKES, who died re cently at his home in Philadelphia, enjoyed the distinction of having been the first union prisoner who was ex changed during the rebellion, Karly in that conflict, he and several soldiers, while on a reconnoitering expedition, were caotured by Mosby's guerrillas and sent to Libby. Through the ef forts of Simon Cameron he was ex changed for a son of Alexander 11. Stephens, vice president of the south ern confederacy. Young Stephens re joined his regiment and was afterward killed in battle. THK Woman's Auxiliary corps, in New York, worked all day and far iuto the night to complete the 1,000 com fort bags for the members of the For ty-seventh regiment. Each bag con tains a paper of smoking tobacco, a pipe, two spools of cotton, needles, shoe laccs and court plaster. The name of each man was embroidered upon the cover, so that in case of any aeeident or death in battle the identi fication will be easily established. The work was under the direction of Mrs. •Ji. H. Quick, president of the Woman's Auxiliary corps. "TUB word ship is masculine in French. I'a'ian, Spanish and Portu guese, and possesses no sex in Teutonic and Scandinavian," says a writer in the New York Tribune. He contin ues: ''Even a man-of-war is she to our Bailors.

May *-i 1 • —Two members of the New Jersey volunteer* which stopped in this city en route to the front were arrested here Friday on a charge of vandalism. The troops were in cars sidetracked at the Is. »Vr <>. depot and these men secured leuveof absence to visit the Capitol. When they left the discovery was made that someone had lieen defacing the much prized bronze doors on the east side of the senate wing. The desecration con sisted in the scratching 1 of two names on the doors and the breaking off of one of the few pistols' points left by other vandals. The names left on the doors were those of Robert Kellett and K. Hy land, and these secured the apprehen sion of their owners. The doors are considered a very fine work of art. They cost originally sstt,ooo und it will be very difficult to erase the names. Later in the day the two men were arraigned in police court anil acknowl edged their guilt. The judge fined them $5 each. The line was paid by Maj. Freeman, of the regiment, who made this comment to the court: "These men have disgraced themselves, their state and me, but while they are guilty, I ask for mercy because of their ignorance.''

May 20. —Two American warships appeared off San tiago de Cuba on Wednesday while the steamer Adula, which has arrived here from that port, was in the harbor. They drew the fire of the batteries at the harbor entrance. It is not certain whether the warships replied to the fire. The fire continued from noon to 1 o'clock. Capt. Walker, of the Adula, when coming out, could not sec any marks on Morro castle, and inferred that the American ships drew the fire of the batteries to learn the range. There was much excitement in the city. The regulars and volunteers were called out and new earthwork batter ies erected on each side of the har bor entrance. The number and cali ber of the guns are unknown, but it is known that there are torpedoes in the channel electrically connected with the shore. SWALLOW FOR GOVERNOR.

Pilgrimages to gome shrine of St. Vitus to cure the disease known as St. Vitus dance are no longer made. The moderz way of treating this affliction is withir reach of every household, as is shown by th* experience of Knrl A.
