PHOSPHORUS MAGIC.
A Popular AinuHment Which IN Full o
Danger and Peril*.
Farents, school principals and other.- :
are just beginning- to realize the dan
ger attendant upon the practice, which
is becoming quite too common, of using
phosphorus as an agent for playing boy
ish pranks, or for the purpose of niak
ing miniature fireworks In parloi
magic shows. It Is also frequently i
used In "hazing" tricks by college boys
and Is freely sold and recommended by
amusement promoters.
It is generally prepared for such pur
poses by placing a half pint of solid
phosphorus in a pint Florence flask

adding water and heating over a spirit
lamp.
The Florence flask, used by the Ital
ians principally for putting up wine, h
louiid-bottomcd and covered witl
wicker work. As soon as the water ii,
the flask Incomes heated streams ol
fire issue from it in the shape of mir
iature skyrockets. If the heat be re
moved and reapplied three or four time!
the upper surface of the flask become?
dry and the particles adhering to tin
side of tho flask scintillate like stars
emitting brilliant rays, and many of tin
r.tars will shoot from side to side. Sucl
exhibitions as these are strenuously
condemned by practical chemists.
Durand Woodman, one of the leading
chemists in New York, w hose attention
was drawn to the subject by the writer,
said: "Tricks and games in which pho*
phorus is used should not be indulge
in by persons who aru not used by lor e
experience to handling such stuff
Phosphorus is one of the most danger
ous commodities which we have tc
handle, and should never le used ft>i
amusement purposes, or in playing
tricks, unless by a chemist or some one t
else thoroughly familiar with its use.
"In parlor magic games, if it must be
used, a large kettle full of water should

always be in position beneath the bottlfl
containing tho phosphorus, so that ii
the flask should break the flery flu'J
would be caught in a place of safety.
There is always more or less danger
from the skyrocket-like particle which
emerges from the neck of the bottle.
One of those small, fiery particles might
light on a woman's dress and set lief on
fire in a moment. Again, if the neces
sary precautions arc not taken, the bot
tle might break and the phosphorus
spread all over the floor, causing e sc
rious conflagration.
"No chemist could conscientiously
recommend the use of phosphorus for
any such purposes," he concluded.
Pnraued by a Mud Itrar.
A rnnchmnn in Jackson's Hole, Idaho,
set a trap for wolves, and on the next
day found that a black bear had been
trapped. The skin was no good, how
ever, as a grizzly had attacked and killed
the captive, literally tearing him to
pieces. The ranchman reset the trap,
and the next day found that the grizzly
had ben caught in it, but hod run away
with the trap and log. The man start
ed off on the trail, and after a mile chase
came across the trap with half the
1 ear's foot, in it, either chewed or torn
off. While looking at it, the grizzly
hove in sight, wild with rage, and the
ranchman, after firing a futile shot., ran
for home. Jlc reached his cabin in
safety, and it was two clays before he
ventured out after his trap.
A Really Wonderful Flower.
The most wonderful flower in the
world, as well as one of the very largest
"blossoms " known, is a native of the
Malay peninsula. It is simply a gigantic
flower without cither stem or leaves,
and has more the appearance of u
fungus than nnythingelsc. It is about
three feet in diameter and has n glogu
lor central cup which has a capacity of
nearly two gallons. This cup is always
filled with a fetid liquor which attracts
an immense swarm of flies and other
Insects. The pistils of this queer flower
distill the liquid and ltisbelieved that the
rank odor attracts the flies in order that
the flower may be fertilized.

ROBERT BURNS.
11.
Tlio universal welcoino to his poems
justifies Tolstoi's statement that the
books truly appreciated by tho people
lire thoso written not for the people by
people "who stand above them," but
those which are born of the people.
The renewed expression of enthusiasm
for Bums which is called out by tho
centennial is not an artificial effect pro
duced by the calendar makers. We man
ufactured some enthusiasm when tho
centennial of Humboldt's birth came.
But the memory of Burns is fresh at
every fireside. It connects indeed with
UO or 40 poems, and hardly any more.
But these are enough.
For very young admirers of his gen
ius who exult in its success it is as
well to say that this is no case of spon
taneous generation, whero everything
is born from nothing or where wo aro
told so. One of Burns' early biographers,
speaking with care, says that William
Bums, tho poet's father, was certainly
the best man he had ever known. Ho is
tho Cottor of the famous "Saturday
Night." Ho was a well educated man
himself, and he took caro that his son,
whose ability he discovered very early,
should be well educated. Robert Bums
himself did not fling away such oppor
tunities. Studious, careful and industri
ous at school, ho made the best of what
schools had to give and was in every
instance a favorite of his teachers, who
Beom in every instance to have kuown
what a treasure they had in hand.
It is Worth whilo also to say that
whilo Bums had a very loyal contempt
for wealth as wealth and knew as well
lis any of us that wealth as wealth is
simply vulgar he had a right and steady
respect for work. He knew that work is
the triumph of mind over matter, and
he was willing to enjoy the results and
tho methods of that triumph. He would
work in tho field as no other man of tho
family or tho party could work, and ho
was never above his work. This is 110
instance of tho dainty "son of toil"
who is unwilling to harden his hands or
to brown his faco by taking his fair
share of the uupleaeaut duties of hu
man life.
Government Aid to Literary Men.
Tho English govoriimcnt of that time
has beeu much ridiculed becauso for

And no gift but tho oflico of an excise
man. But it should be remembered that,
it that time at least, no ono supposed
that governments were formed to pro
vido for poets or thut tho provision for
poets was one of their duties. Wo live
in u state of high civilization, as we
think, but even with us if you havo a
man liko Hawthorne or Howells you
havo to make him a consul. If you have
a lady who writes poetry you have to
make her a postmaster It is fair to the
wretched ministry of the time to soy
that Burns himself asked for tho oilico
if exciseman, and it is more tliau prob
able that tho selection of tho offico was
rnado by himself.
And ho died in Ids thirty-soveuth

had so many moro treasures from that
warm heart and ready pen, that sympa
thetic friend of everybody who desired

If ho had been üblo to resist the temp
tations of liquor.
Let it be remembered, then, that men
if ids gift, men who have this exquisite
fiber of brain and sympathy of heart are
tho special prey of this special dovil.
And let it bo remembered that "tasto
aot, touch not, huudlo not," seems not
to havo boon kuown, even by pure and
temperate men in Scotland, in their ef
fort to Buppross drunkenness. Such men,
if they counseled poor Burns, only
counseled "moderation."
As if there could bo moderation in
playing with lire 1
It woqld seem that no man, woman
or child, not the father who loved him
nor tho mother who boro him, no ono
probably but his poor wife, ever begged
him or even asked him to give up whis
ky, wine and all intoxicating liquor.
What would this pagoof literature bo
today had liobcrt Burns been taught iu
his childhood of the dangers to which
poets are tho nearest? What would it
bo had tho ready sale of a "social
glass" beou prohibited by law? What
would it be had ho lived iu a social or
der where gentlemen liute and despiso

to drunkenness? What would it bo had
not all Scotland combined to defeat his
prayer when he asked the good God that

EDUCATING THE PEOPLE.
The Ghantauqua movement has done
and is doing much work umong u class
of people who otherwise would not study
any regular courso. It iH, of course, u
serious criticism on tho textbooks of
this institution that they are often su
perficial and ncfi infrequently one sided.
This can hardly bo prevented, as tho
books aro written hurriedly by busy
men who havo not time to do thoroughly
scientific work.
Other movements liko college and
university extensions and settlements
are more or less subject to the sumo
general criticism—viz, thut their work
is scrappy and superficial. The same
might bo said of mauy schools and col
legos.
A moro recent movement, the Uni
versity association, is extending its work
in various towns and uses a monthly
magazine through which to impart its
information. The editors have accom
plished the remarkable feat of giving
the history of some nine aneient nations
in the brief compass of 44 pages! It will
be in order next for somo enterprising
firm to issue a vest pocket edition of an
encyclopedia of universal knowledge!
The erudite author of the small sam

80001 Shades of Petrie, Naville and
Bunsenl Our author, being a bishop,
at once raises our suspicions that he is
writing in the interest of a theological
theory, the importance of which, in his
mind, is greater than any facts that the
competent Egyptologist may discover.
Marictte dates the beginning of tho
Shiuito dynasty (Nona) at 4400 13. C..
and he may be considered a conservative
and certainly a very safe critic. A little
farther along in his work he tells us
that tho "foundations of tho Egyptian
monarchy began about 5004 B. C."
If our bishop-author desires to defend
Home's theory of Biblical chronology
against tho well ascertained facts of
Egyptian history, ho has a perfect right
to do so, but let him not do it in tho
name of Egyptian history. He tells us
another thing that is certainly remark- j
ablo for its modesty—viz, that "the j
languages of the ancient lioinans,
Greeks, Modes, Persians and Hindoos
seem to havo had a common origin."
Why so much assurance in regard to the
dates of ancient history and so little in
regard to a much more certain matter—
viz, the origin of tho languages in ques
tion? This sounds like a faint echo of
the voice of Bopp's critics and ovorsub
servienco to tho one sided and dogmatic
liawlinson. If popular educational out
lines must be brief, they need not be in
accurate, and shortness is no excuse for
slovenliness. Let us hope that the fol
lowing numbers of tho journal will be
more accurate in statement and better
written, for the movement is certainly
a commendable one. C. W. JAMES.
PROSE ANDPOETRY ANDTHE FARMER
Probably tho farmer is not aware
that ho is the subject of frequent dis
cussion among the best classes of city
people, but all thinkers are looking
more and more to the agriculrural cluss
es for u solution of the real diiliculties
of tho age. These ore awake us never I
before to the needs of tho hour, and this
giant of the hills is also awakening to a
sense of his great strength. lie holds in
his hands the most valuablo wealth as
well as the largest class vote of the
country. May he use it for the good of
all!
Wo give below a discussion that took
place among some literary and society
people in one of our largo cities last
year. This was based on Emerson's es
say on "The Poet:"
First.—Poetry apd prose—what is
their resemblance and what their differ
ence? It was agreed that thero are two
characteristic points of difference—viz,
in tho thought and in tho literary form.
Prose is commonplace, simplo and de
scribes ordinary phenomena. Some
prase, so called, is poetry; some poetry,
so called, is prosaic. We find prose in
"Paradiso Lost" and poetry in Demos
thenes' "On tho Crown." The funda
mental difference is in tlio ideal ropro
scutatiou, in musical and rhythmic
linos. This poetry must be, and hence
it deals with the universal.
Second. —The poet is net a realist,
but sees the part in reference to the
whole and describes what ought to be,
rather than what is. The dilferenco be
tween what we do and what we strive
to do, between what wo are and what
we aspire to become, is the inner meas
ure betweceu tho real and tho idcul.
The poet helps us to mentally or imag
inatively realize our ideals.
Third.—lf nature is the poet's inspi
ration and his storehouse of symbolic
expression, why aro uot our farmers
poets? The question admits of various
answers, for tho reason that wo know
so little at best of the inner feelings and
living hopes of those who stand nearest
to us. And how could wo know much of
those with whom wo seldom meet? The j
poetic sense is the deepest in tho soul,
and most men voil their deeper feeling.
On the other hand, tho constant drudg
ery to which the farmer is subjected be
numbs the brain and "freezes the genial
curreut of their souls. " Farming ought
to bo so vastly improved that it would
become idyllic and inspirational.
Fourth.—lt is asserted by a few crit
ics that poetry would ceaso to bo writ
ton us scieuce and scientific methods
become more generally understood. The
thought of poetry ceasing to bo fills
others with fear. In Dante, Homer and
Milton mytli and legend pluy a large
part. Were they conscious that they
Were dealing with myth? As scionco
lays bare the facts of the universe, does
it become less beautiful and
Has not astronomy opened up u high
way in tho skies that is gleaming in
beauty and matchless in its enormous ex
tent? Is not chemistry a rcvcaler of
liner and rcoro splendid beauty? Does
not psychology reveal to us more splen
did beauties in tho soul? Hence science
ims given the matoriul for nobler poems
than havo ever been written, and the
reason why the now poets aro not nu
merous and Homeric iu their strain is
that they havo been wondering ut tho
variety and richness uf the material in
stead of attempting to construct the
new and more glorious edifice. Science
is making possible u more splendid
poetry. , f
FACING A GRIZZLY.
A llrave Boy Kill* an Angry Bear with *
Blow of an Ax.
It was in September—and the Col
orado sun liad done its duty and made
Phil as brown of face and stout of limb
as any of us—that tho geology class,
consisting of the professor and ten pu
pils, made an excursion into the range
with the object of taking a practical
lesson among the limestone beds at
the back of Lincoln peak.
Away we went—feeling very hilarious
ntthcideaof making an independent ex
pedition, even with Blinkers for a gen
eral—scrambling over rocks and fallen
trees, ch.ising squirrels nnd chipmunks,
throwing stones at birds and rabbits
nnd beiiaving generally just like what
we were—a parcel of schoolbojs.
Presently we emerged from the trees
and came out upon another little open
park-like stretch of ground. Ilalfway
across it our nttention was suddenly at
tracted by a stir among the high grass,
and out jumped a little, dark-colored,
short-legged animal, which looked like
a woolly pig—if there be any sych thing
in nature.
Away it scutthd, and irwny we all
went, with a shout, in pursuit.
Phil happened to be some distance
behind at the moment, being busily en
gaged in digging a tarantula's nest out
of the ground with his knife; but as
soon as he saw what we were doing, he
came racing after us, shouting: '"Look
out! Lookout! It's a—"
We did not hear what, we were mak
ing so much noise ourselves.
But the little animal, whatever it was,'
was too quick for us and disappeared
into some willows while we we-e still
20 yards behind. The next moment the i
willows waved nnd bent and out
bounced a great slio bear—a grizzly 1
With a yell of dismay we all turned
and scattering like a flock of sparrows
when a cat jumps into the midst of
them, fled for the nearest trees. Blink-
PIIIL KEPT COMING ON SLOWLY,
ers, quite forgetting that he was the
general of the little expeditionary
force, made such use of his long legs
that he was safely up a tree before any
of the rest of us had reached one.
As for me, I never reached one at all.
In turning to run, I tripped over the
ax, nnd though I was up again in an in
stant, the check made me the last of
the fugitives.
The chase was very soon over. In six
jumps, as it seemed, the great beast
caught me, and, with one blow of her
paw on the middle of my back, sent me,
face downward, to the ground, with
every atom of breath driven out of my
body.
This last circumstance was a good
thing for me; I could not have moved a
muscle if I had wished to. Consequent
ly the bear supposed that I was dead,
and instead of tearing me up intosninll
pieces, as I expected, she began snifling
me all over and turning me about with
her clnws.
Suddenly, however, she ceased and be
gan to growl, and I heard Blinkers up in
his tree call out: "Go back! You can't
do any good. You'll only get yourself
killed, too!" From which I concluded
that Blinkers and the bear bad one
thought in common; they both sup
posed me to be dead.
I was beginning to recover my breath
a little by this time, and in my anxiety
to see what was going forward, I made
a slight movement with one arm, and
in an instant the bear had that arm be
tween liis teeth. It hurt me so horribly
that I fainted, and all that happened
afterwards I gathered from the other
boys.
Phil, when he saw me knocked down,
instead of climbing up a tree like the
rest, run back to where I had dropped
the ax, und, picking it up, advanced to
my rescue.
It was a mad thing to do, there is no
doubt about that; but Phil did it—and
without a thought of his own dunger.
It was in vain that Blinkers calledto liim
to go back; he did not seem to hear, but
kept coming on slowly, with his eyes
fixed on the bear, and the ax held in
readiness to strike.
The bear dropped my arm and ad
vanced a step, standing across my body,
growling nnd turning up her lips until
all her great white teeth were exposed;
but still Phil came on. At six feet dis
tance he stopped. The bear took a step
forward, and then another, and then,
with all the strength of his body doubled
by the intense excitement of the mo
ment, Phil struck at her with such force
and precision that he split her skull
clean in two.
But, even in dying, the bear suc
ceeded in doing some mischief.
With a last convulsive effort she
struck out, and, with her great claws,
tore away the front of Phil's coat, vest
and shirt, and made three deep cuts all
across his chest from the left shoulder
diagonally downward. Another Inch
and Phil must certainly have been
killed. As it was, he stood for a moment
swaying to and fro, and then fell for
ward upon the dead body of the bear.—-
