The Bellevillc Guards, in squads, patrolled the newly-laid track to prevent any attempt that honld be made to destroy. The night passed, however, peaceably. The discontented party were evidently overawed, and the militis were not called upou to interfere. Thismorning Company A assembled on Main street, and marched from thence to the depot.

The Test Not Altogother Satisfactory. Tha trial of the new Silsby fire-enpines attracted 2 large crowd to the Lake-Frontat tho foot of Madison street yesterday afternoon. As has been siated before, theso englnes have been built by the Silsby Manutactaring Company, :of Seneca Fails, N. Y., expressly for the use of the Fire Department of this city, they being adapted to meet and answer the objections that have been Lerctofore made xyninltjum ma- chines of this Compuny. The engines which were first poblicly used yeaterday were Nos. 8 and 18, and were a combination of the plston and rotary pump engine, the rotary pump being cepecially efticient in pumping up the water, and the piston in forcing it out. ;These are not the st engines of this description'that have been used by the Fire Department. The largest enzine over belonging tothe clly, and_one of the test, was the Lonz i:’l‘l: .wglsv?:!dl;fl excellent service for severul e n 280 an engine of thia ki - llrsl‘l’clioni 3 : 0y 8 kind of con ou after 3 o'clock the two ensines were bronght to the corzer of Michizun avenue and Mad- ison street, and 500 fuet of hose was attached to each, the spouts being carned down almost to the railrond iracks in the ovenspace between the basc- ball grounds and the Exposition Building. Fire- Starshal Benner was on hand, as were also Ausist- ant Marshals Swenic, Petrie, Conway, Mu- sham, Barry, Greene, Snay, Kinney, Mayor Heath, with several Aldermen, and Chlef-Engi- ncer Bage of Jolict. ~ Steam was gotten up from cold water, which is not usual, as the regular fire- engines carry warm water all the time. Yef, notwithetanding this drawback, the tireman caused the engine, No. 1w rench @ pressure of thirty pounds of steam in the short period of six minutes and ten seconds. No. 18was delayed by reason of a delay in the ar- rival of conl, bui goon caught up with ita compan- jon, and both sent streams of water with great power and constancy to a aistance of 250 feet from the neckof the hose. Just about this time, how- ever, an accident habpened to No. 8, which for & moment created consternation in the crowd of idle lookers-on assembicd in its proximity. In each of the engines there are air-chambers, or domes, whose object is to relieve the force of the water that{s pumped up. Of course, there 18 a_heavy preseure of the water against the contined air, and bursting of the air-chamber is not au infrequent occursence on any fire-engine, It was unfortunafe, thoogh, that such an accident should happen to s stesmer on ‘its trial-trip, but such wae the cosc. The dome uf No. 8 suddenly cracked with o loud noive, scatiering the peonle very euddenly who were in the vicinity. This eugine was ihus rendered ineligible for further teats. Mr. McDowell, agent for the Silsby Com- pany, stated toa reporter that, before belng brouzht here, No, 8 bud sustained 2 pressure of 240 poauds, and be conld sce 10 _reason why the air chamber shouid give way at a pressure of only 205 pounds. Tae other steamer coutinued working, as hivh a ‘Dpressure as 230 pounds being appiied successfully. The opinion amony the Fire Murshals seemed 10 be somerwhat divided as to the merits of the new steamers, some thinking that they were up to the average excellence of the ones now in use, and others beiug doubtful and non-committal. Tne proposition on the partof theSilsby Company ix to give these tvo enmnes to the City for $6,000 and the nsed-np machinery of two of the city engines.

San Francisco Chronscte. ‘There Is now in this city 4 prowinent gentle- map, educated for the Catholi¢ priesthood, who as buried alive by a Catholic mob, taken frum the grave supposed dead, and his body again maltreated, and left on the public streets to be jeered at by an infurigted multitude. The facts in the case .are stranger than fiction, and be- came known in a very simple wav., A Chronicle representative, meeting the gentleman alluded to, noticed, as the latter took ofT his hat to bow? a large ‘and ugly looking scar over the left temple, and slightly covered over with hair falling from the head. The acquaintance was such as to gaarantec the writer in taking the liberty ‘to nsk what caused the cut, when the following strange story was told: Some years a0 it_was a popular custom iu Panama to celebrate the religious ceremony which falls on *“Domingo de ramos ” (Palm Sunday) with great ceremony and pomp, the masses of the poor, being earnest and zealous Catholics, turning out on such otcasions in full force. The principal and sbsorbing incident in the event was a mock representation of Christ entering Jerusalem, mounted upon ao ass and surroanded by his diseiples. The finest animal in Panama was selected -for the occasion, and upon his back was a wopden lite-size statue of the Sayior, firmly bound aud screwed to the saddle. Six of the twelve disciples marched on eiter side of the ass, and. held in their nands stont stafis, richly and besutifully decorated, and - from which swung. an “awning of the most costly material, elaborately fringed with gold. The awninz covered the statne like a huge parasol, and was supposed to represent the clouds throueh which the Savior ascended to Heaven. Torce of the disciples walked be- fore the ass aud three after bim, jo close prox- jwity. the masses, headed by the priests, fol- Towing reverently behind. When upproaching the spot marked out as the cate that gave entry to the fabied City of Jerusalem. it Wwas also the custom for *the infidels ” toattempt to bar the way of ‘“the fzithful,” and prevent them from entering the Holy City, so 2 mock fight was the resuit. But the affair was well understood, aud, 1 beine Catholics, after some goou-natured skirmishing, the faithful entered triumphantly, and their ranks werc again refilled oy their core- Jigionists, the infidels. Usually the ceremonies passed oft with great eclat aud splendor, but on 0o oceasion carnage and Liood dyed the strects and .created terrible consternation, which was only allayed by the military firin on_ the mob. "The occasion was that in_which the hero of this story figured. He was one of the six who bheld the awning, and being a n:ost fervent Catholic, preparing for holy orders, was proud ot the srreat honor conferred upon him. Enacting his part becomingly, and the procession having al-. ready cammenced to break up, be was about to return home when his attention wos attracted to o great crowd of peopie hooting and yelling down towards the playaor shore. This was oceasioped by o number of youns men, natives of Panama, ana pure descendants of - the Span- fards, who were ouc boat-riding, and reachiug the shore made some jocular remarks about the procession. The negroes wiro heard the re marks became suddeniy “infuriated, believin: the language usedto be fnsultng aud blas- phemous against tie Catholic Church. Cries of U Stope them!! *Kill them! rent the air, and quick as a flash of ligntniog_the negroes at a distance caught up the cry. Then ensued a Seene. which defies deseription. The deadly Toud between negroes and whites, which period- jeally breaks out in Panama, broke out in all its fury. The blacks commenced to attack with ferocious vindictiveness the Whites, and the first to mect theirmerciless assauits were the thoughtless younz men who unmeaninzly were the cause of the outbreak.

At 4 on the morping of that day he saw Danger Reef, being at that time scarcely half a wmile from the shore, the ship being under close- reefed topssils and running before the wind. The’ Cavtain, who was on deck, zave orders to bring the ship to the wind. but ste would nut wenther the land. He then let go both aucbors witi a fifty-tathom cabte to cach, but she would not -hold” and the ship drageed. When 150 vards from the rocks the Captain slipped both ancliors and tried to put on sail, but only got the mamn-sail set when the vessel struck on her starboard quarter. This was just when it was reaking day, and immediately the topsail fll over, kifling two seamen. The Captain at ouce ordered the crew toget theboats out ror the lady passengers; but this wasnot doue, as the waves were washing over the decks, Pearce und five other seamen got into the hfe-boat, but were washed over.

Correspandence New York Sun. : MmpLesoro, Mass., July 25.—Minnie War- ren was buried this afternoon with her baby in Her arms. The funeral services were to begm 2t 2 o'clock, but long before that so many per- sons came from Midaleboro and adjoining towns thet it was impossibte to accommodate more than a small portion of them in the house. Minnfe and ber husband, Maj. Newell, better known as Gen. Grant, Jr., have always made the old homestead here their home when not traveling. It is a plain country farm bouse, about two miles from Aliddlebyro Centre, and bas been iade comfortavle for Minnie’s parents by Minnie’s money. Across the way Tom Thumb’s country seat, a preity Frenci-roofed cottage, stands on a smooth green lawn. Minnic Warrea has alwavs been Toved by the people who kuew ter wiien she was little Huidah Bumnp, her real pame, and many of those who came to the funerai to-duy have had personal experiences of her kindness since she became fanious and wealthy. Sweet-per- fumed tlowers, beautitully arranged as harps and wreathe, were Lrought by those friends, and on u delicate pillow of roses and passion- flowers Minnie's head lay in the casket. At 2 o’clock the family assemblea in the par- lor around the casket. This wus of black-wal~ nut, covered with blue silk velvet, andwas Hued witn white satin. It was the casket of a child of 10 years, but as the triends looked within ticy saw the little mother with one arm embracivie the eirl baby, whose face lay uestled close to tlhe motner’s bosom. The mother’s head was turned to tbe baby, and the two scemed quictly slecpiuz. The baby’s face was 2 swect onc, a little dimple remaining in the clin that vven death bad not taken away. Noone looied up- on tbe little mother and her child without weeping. Gen. Tom Thumb sat near the head of the casket, and by him sa his wife, Lavinia Warren. On the other side sat Maj. Newell, and he made no eflort to control his feelinus, He wept bitterly, as he has almost without cessation since bis wife died. Besides these, Miunic’s father and mother and her brothers and sisters, all larze men and women, were in the room. ' They remember Minnie as a daugh- ter and sister who shared lier wealth with them, rather than as a famous little woman. Mrs. P. T. Barnum and Mr. Bleecker and his_wife, who have traveled with the Tom Tnumb party for fifteen years, werc also among the chief mourn- ers. Soon after 2 o'clock, the house beinzancom- fortably filled, 2ud fully.a thonsand‘persons on the lawn.outside, a chaut was;sung by a choir, and the Rev. Mr. Dver made a. short prayer. -He then gpoke of Minnie’s kindness ‘and sweet- ness of disposition. . rs.Tom Thumb, us she heard her sister’s tenderness spoken of, fainted, and was carried from the room. There was not adry eye-in tae: house. . After- another. bymn he awoke to find him- had ‘been sung, 5ix young ladics, old iriends and mates of Minnie, took..their places as pall- bearers, .and.then_ the family, looked for the last time mpon Minnie’s‘‘fée.’Gen. Tom Thumb,could not control his ricf & be tarned from the casket.- The doirs were then opened and the people passed through the parlor; iook- ing for a few minates attue faces of the mother .ang child. -It.was, tyo.hours befos last friend bad passed by and ihé cas osed. Barne by four young men, the casket wis Hlaced ‘{n’'the hearse; and, followed by many carriages, 1aken to the:village cemetery. - Here, after the benediction, the - casket was. lowered: into the litfle zrave. Many stood: bear, even arter the cléreyman had dimissed theti. ... . . ., ‘The death of Minnie Warren will probably end the public appearance of the Tom Thumb party. Minuie's death was undotbtedly cansed by her materual Jove. Had she listened to the advice of Ler physician eoover, her own Jife mizhe have besn saved, although-ber child would uve = been lost to her. But glie would mot, untll it was too Jate. During lier sickness she scemed to think of nothing but'the baby that she soon hoped to fold to her bosom. 5 “w] shall live,” she sdid to her sister, ‘Mrs. Southworth: and aftér her baby was born she sald with a smile, [ knew I should live; take me and rock we.” . ‘Thesister took Minnie in her arms_as ehe wounld s 1nfam.l and rocked her. ‘“Don’t cry,’t said Minnie, I shall live through it.” Then,<after a little, she said: “Rock me on_the-othor. side, sister.” Mrs. Southworth did so, and’Minnicwas quiet a sittle while.

TEN BROECK. His Owner Gives His Views of the Lonis- wville #Hippodrome”—How flo Instructed ‘Walker to Make the Ruuning. Correxpond:nce Cincinnate Enquirer. LexiNgToN, Ky., July 25.—Althouzh nearlya month has clapsed since the very unsatisfactory ruce at Loufsville between Ten Broeck ana Mollie McCartbv, suflicient interest still attaches to it ‘to make acceptable read- ing wnatever statement of facts - may throw Jight upon that noted tarf contest. A representative of the Enguirer, desiring to know what Mr. Harper’s opinions were concern- ing the race, and concerning some persons who were officially and unofficially convected with it, sought the gentleman in his Woodford County retirement. Mr. Harper expressed himself plaiuly in apswer to leading questions. Being asked 1s to whether be thourut there was apything wrong about that race, he re- plied: ~ *“ No. It was as fuir a race as was ever ruu. [ wasbound to beat the mare. When Mr. Conley aud Col. Richard West, of Scott County, came to me to make up the match I told them then I was bound to win. Conley sald that Mr. Winters' aud other Culifornians were coming out hére with money to back the mare heuvily, and I told him that they bad better bring pleuty of money, or come furnished with round:trip tickets, for walking wus bad,” 154 Gen. Buford and Capt. Moore thouszht Ten Broedk would be beaten. They told Welch, the traloer of Mollic McCarthy, to run his mare from string to string, and when she collared the borse he would quit. As Capt. Moore said, hen she would g0 up and ask him the time of day, he would gnswer that his clock had run down. Gen. Buford thought he was a big duffer, and would quit whenever any Lorse kept him running. . > “The ouly instractions Harper gave Walker was to take a puli- on Teu Broeck going round the turns and let him stride along, and then run the mare up on¢- stretch and down the otier, aud after they, went two-and-u-half miles it would be no ruce. The mare quit at two and three-cighths. . ‘Baut she is = good mare. 1t's no use. talkiig.' -Aby mare toat can run fourteen times. and win thirteen is a tip- top nag. 1t took . len Broeck to beat her, and he beat s -good one. He mever gave Walker any special-“fostructions how to ride. e had ridden oltey euougl to know what to do without telling. Mr, Harper said he conld have run the racesloyer if he had wanted, but he wished to . phugithe mare out. He could ‘have wade better.time bad he desired also, The two tirst miles were: fust enough. She set the poce and suw hiersclts down. Tuey beat a good ooe, tnough, when they beat her. Some one remarked that Ten Broeck had been spurred. +/That, said Mr. Harper, was only on the outside, to Reep him in to the mare. She wanted to toree bim out. Now, they say the horse -was doscd, and that Hurry, there, gave it to him when he sponged biw out. I don’t believe he would do it. [Harry shook- Uis head, as if to say, * No, sir.’] ‘The borse Was not dosed at all.” Now, he was dosed at’Baltimore. Somebody that knew the borse liked apples gave it to him in an apple, and_ after that he quit eatinz apples for a long time, But alter thisrace he qoiv eating nothing. They all suy, and the newspa- pers say, he wes used up when he came out. Now, I tell you, when he stood before the stand, he .threw his head round there several ~times to kuock off the flies. That was not like any dead borse. Then the crowd rusned inend sorrounded bim, cnd hemmed him in 50 he couldn’t breathe. Lt was three-quarters of an hour before we could wret him out of the crowd. Wi it had been 2 heat race, it could never bave been run, because it would have been inpossible to zee the people off the course. In a wile-heat race, justassoon gs the heat is over and the bell taps, tie horses are led off to the cooling-ground aud blanket- cd. But here was Ten Broeck, on the Lottest duy of the year, kept standing for three-quarters of an hour, surrounded by a crowd sc thick that he couldn’t breatue. Just like 2 man would feel, he became faing, and al- most fell down stifled. As to the statcments publisiied abuu physicians examining his cyes {for morphiue that's all nopsense. ‘There never as a doctor there to examine the horse, so tar 25 Mr. Harper kuew. He did not allow every- body to go near hun after the race nor before 1t. Now, after the Baltimore race, when Ten Brock came out, he bad the thumps badly, but this time he showed no wdications whatever of that sore.”” “Do you think, Mr. Harper, that your horse was in a condition to run our miles?” “Yes, sir.”” smd the old man, £ do. Some of them don’t think he was in fix when he ran agatnst time, but I told them that if he did not beat 1240 T did not want him. ['ve got what the are not on avy other farm in the United States. T've got two horses that have made a mile in 1:40 or better.” “Wiy did you not run in St. Louis 2" s Wel, I did not want to. 1 did not want to run at Lexineton. I Was looking to the race at | Louisvilie. I kuew that would be worth more 10 e thon the others.” What were you paid, Mr. fair guestion?’ i \Frell, 1 srot just what was azreed upon, and nomore. I tuink Conley is a clever fellow, and ready to stand up tolis word.” +{Vaat interest had Col. M. Lewis Clark in the race, Mr. Iurper?” “t\Vell, 1 don't know that hie had anv, except what 1 hear people say. Ile was one of the judges. Heused tc cume round the stable a good deal, and figuring up. and telling me how The race ought to be run. 1 listened to him, but I said nothine. I had enough to do to at- tend to my own busfoess. He bothered Walker and larry there a good deal; may be they cin tell you sumethivg about jt.” «Did not Col. Clark accuse your trainer of fgoing (o throw tae racel” Vel yes. Meinvited meup in the Class- liouse one day, he and . Col. Johmson and some- body else. He tola me then that my trainer was going to throw the race for 51,500. I told bim L did not believe a word of it. Perhaps Col. Clark will come out now and tell who told him. As for Walker, 1. uever thoucht of removing him. Harry trains. him. sud Walker rides him. Walker had no idea at agy time that the old horse would be beaten. He soc all the money he -could -from me’ to bet on bim. Don't know how much 1t was, but he bet all e had. Harry bad notbing up. I toid Walker, If any one wants to buy you, you get the foney first, and then run the borseus Itell you. They’ll never s:% anything, no matter liow it wurns out. -+ But I donot think,” said the old man, *that. my boy wonld turow z race..

Col. Clark said to Walker: “I hear there are suspicions that you are going to' throwx this race. .You will be ‘watched the whole way, aud, if you do not ride 10 win, a rope will be put about your neck and youwill be hung to that tree yonder fipoluuuz to a tree justopposite the judges’ stand), and T will heip to do it.”” Walker tried to auswer him, and say that he did not want to ride in the race, but Col. Clark would not let him speak. While Walker is talking it muy not be amiss to have a little more of his testimony. He cor- roborates Mr. Harper as to the horses running, and says that at the conclusion of the third mile he was told to pull up, that he had the mare beaten. Spellman, the jockey, was the rson who shouted to him tfo stop running. e added, however, that the horse was not in ix to go four miles in repeat. - Two wecks be- fore the race he could go any distance. About five days before -the race he had gone back so ouch that they had to commence giving him gentle exercise to put speed in bim. Harry Colston, the traioer, said that- Caol. Clark was at the stables every day asking aboat Ten Broeck ana how 1ast be had exercised. He asked one cay how fast Ten Broeck had gone & half-mile. " Colston renifed that that was wore than the “Boss” had asked him. ‘Then he laid out how the race was to be run. Tue first mile was to be run in 1:53, the sccond in 1:50, the third in 1:49, and the fourth fast enouzh to make the four miles in 7:24, and that would beat the mare. If Ten Broeck did not run & rating race like that be would be beaten. The trainer answered bim, as the “Boss™ had, that they were mnot running against time. 1f the mare ran ap in 7:26 they would run there too. Mr. Harper, growiug tired of the Ten Broeck- Mothe McCarthy talk, invited his guests to o and inspect the old horses, an invitation gladly aceepted. Longfellow, in his stall, looked splendid. He is not allowed out much. He does not benaye himself well. Ten Broeck, on the contrary, is as gentle as ever. e is fatten- iog up vers fast. ‘There is not a blemish unon him. The pufl on bis leg was caused either by a kick from a homse called Turaer, or from jumping over a pair of bars. It is smuller now than oo the first day. KEELY'S NEW YORK RIVAL. A Miraculous ¢ Motor" that Can Be Stored Cold znd Dry, and Does Not Condense—. Portable, Impalpable, Inflammabie bat Inexplosive, and Entirely Incomprehensi- ble., New York World, July 28, The lttle car that for mouths has jostled through Sevond avenue at sn uncertain speed, under the propulsion of compressed sir is in some sort of a way of being superseded. Some- times the motor drove the car along like a race- horse, and sometimes like a snail. The regular passengers, Who rather expected that if they began to yawn at One Hundred aud Twenty- ninth street the car would draw upst Peck slip before their yawos fell into position aain, were shocked, and it was mot long before they clamored for visible means of motion. ‘Then the machinery was improved, remodeled, and finally couverted into what wis designated & pncumatic motor, in which also compressed air was the agent.” A speed approaching torty miles an hour was to be attuined, but was not. ‘Then the enterprising Directors began to cast about for other appliances. There was_a mau ready for the oceasion in the persun of Francis Winters, Jr. He otfered to supply them with o motor which was neither steam, air, water, nor o mixtur¢ prepured by chemical process. and which yet Would serve the purposes of -them separately or combined. . He would zuarantee that althouszh expansive, it would not explode. even though the Dolers containing it were sub- jeeted by it to a pressure of 400 pounds to tae Bquare inch; thut it enerared neither friction, heat, nor moisture, and that it woald be 50 per cent cheaperthan steam. 'The Dircetors opened their eves with wonder and asked ques- tions, but Winfers’ reticence won the day. When he left them he bur toned his voat over on authorization to rig-bis apparatus ou one of their cars. The small model engine which had been steadily generat- ing the heat in = quiet way in Brooklsn for a year, was exhibited to thent the next week, and under still further mystitication; they then told Mr. Winters that if be would procure a certifi- cute from the of Underwriters, so that the insurance upou their property would not be vitiated in case_ they should permit the mann- facture of the motor—yon can bottle it almost— at tie stables, they would experiment with it upon all the cars of their hue. Theo the Soard of Underwriters were juvited to examine tne machine and motor. Experts puzzled thuir brains over it for two wecks. They searched for it with microscopes, put their noses over it, thelr bands in it, and _applied their ears to it, but could not sce, smell, teel, or hear it. Then they took some home in little steci tanks aud canant it intest tubes and retorts. After aweek’s study they determined thut they could deter- mine nothinz about it, excepting that when a fire way brougis in contact with itit burned like gas, but with no appreciable heat except in the body of theflamé.

I haa studied the constru:tion of the engine, and uo- derstood it perfectly. I had sugmested im- provements, which were adopted. Buc there yas one thiog about an vogine tuat puzzled me; vhat was to kuow why, Without auy appareut cause, the steam-pumps were constautly burst- ing. ‘Oueof them burst one_duy and szalded me. It was on the St. Paul & Duluth Kailroad. I came to New Yotk for treatment, and intime, the physieians whom I had employed gave me a new piir of eselids and pawhedup my face.

Historical instances are numerous in which State documents of creat importance have found their way into the hands of people who had no business with them, and sometimes the course of the world’s affairs has becu materially nfluenced by such accideuts. But for 2 hazard which placed under Cromwell's eves o letzer in which Cnarles L stated thut he had no iu- tention to fulfill the promises which be had made to secure peace, the nezotiations be- tween the King aud the Parliment mizht have - come'to an issue: as it was, Cromwell refused to treat, and it may be said that Charles’ un-. Tucky letter cost lum his_head. Similarly the uih Devwe Louis XVI. aud the French people was rendered irreparable when a black- suith revealed the existence of the. famous 1ron closet at the Taileries, which, having been broien open, was toand to contain the damag- ing evidence of the Kiug's negotiations with the Austrian Court in view of un invasionot France. 5 10 1794 Tallien, having read his name ona -plece of paper which Robesplerre let fall from his pocket 1n pullinz out his huudkerchief, con- cluded he was marked down for exeeation, and, at the instigution of his high-spirited wite, hm- wedistely tovk measures which resulted in Robespierre’s downfall on the 9zb Thennidor. To come to wore revent times, Lonis Napo- lcon’s coup d’etat wus within an ace ot fuiling owing to the officiousness of a_lady fu commn- nicating the piuns to Prince Nupoleon, the fu- ture Emperor’s cousit, who forthwith 2ried to put some of the Kepuulican leaders on tieit - guard.

Sax Fraxcisco, Cal., July 20.—T sec by re- ports thut Chicugo i3 losiog many of her valu- able citizens, during the warm weather, by sun- stroke. A Now it is well understood by all phya'clans of the Vitapathy school that lignt proceeds from the sun by three distinct currents correspouci= foz tu ravs. The first is Hght without hear, and produces color; the secund 13 light without elther heut or colar, ant produces chemleal ac- tiou; the third produces warmth by causive friction. Itis the active communicitive sub- stauce that generates heat by friction upon the particies of the atmosphere. Now it 13 also well Known that lizht passing torough diffarenc substances cither loses or augments Its quanticy of heat or its power of chemical action. Thiz 13 understood by the photozraphic artists, and therefore, to neutralize these qualitics, th:y place yellow, paper throush which the light passes iuto the develoving rooms, and without {roing Into o geveral analysis of a ray of light, I~ wiil siiply say that this yellow paper absords or §0 fur retards the rapld motiun of that cur- rent which produces chemicai actiou as to pre- vent it from blackening the photograph of the artists, and as blue glass, as blue paper, would also nbsord or retacd the commumceative sub- stance of that current that produces warmih, tie function is so much retarded by passinz throngh the first arc and then the other thut the chernical action resulting from the contace with the clectric fluid passing from the brain, producing death, would be next to impossible. Consequently, let any person place 3 small = wad of vellow puper iu his bag,—yellow tissue paper will do,—and then on the top of that piace o small quantity of blue paper. It wouid have the samic cifeet in preyenting sunsiroke as the paintinz of the face black, especinlly around the eyes, does ig preventing one frum being struck suow blind when traveling over snoy on i sunshiny day. 1f you will give this a place in your pager, zod any one who tries it and gets sunstroke, "l puv his funcral cxpepses. 1t vertaioly can do no barm to try it, and it may save the hives of some of vour most valuable citizens.
