At the Tower of London the explosion occurred in what i3 known as the White Tower, where hundreds of rifles were stored. The Tower was ignited and the fire was suppressed with great difficulty. All authorities agree that the explosion was caused by dynamite. Only a few visitors to the buildings and some of the police were injured by the explosion. One or two of the latter are supposed to be fatally injured.

The attempt of McCullogh, Clark-son and Kerens to bulldoze Hon. James F. Legate into publishing a statement in regard to Ex-Governor St. John's attempt to sell out the Prohibition party has been successful so far as securing Legate's statement is concerned, but the character of it is, not just what they bargained for. Instead of overwhelming St.

John and covering him with infamy, as they anticipated, it overwhelms them with imbecility in their conduct of the national campaign, and exonerates St. Jehn from all blame. The result is St. John stands head and shoulders above these fellows, and is a much more popular man than he was when the onslaught was made. Nellie Bailey, who was arrested for murdering Clement Bothamley, of Harvey county in the Indian Territory, in October 1883, and who has been confined in jail at Topeka and Wichita since that time, was tried last week in the United States Court at the latter place.

The jury after being out just fifteen minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty. Nellie's career has been a checkered one. She has been married twice and was making arrangements to marry Bothamley at the time of his death, although both her former husbands were still living and she had never been divorced from them. Bothamley had a wife and several children living in England, and had burried a supposed wife at Newton but a short time before he and Nellie started for Texas. fTiie: About a Terr Curias T.Itt Inaect Which all Person Have Seen.

MM. Aubert and R. Driboia have ro-aenily made a number of interesting observations oa the light emitted by or fire-tearing insects of the family Elateres, genus PyrophoiTis These pyrophores have tru? lumirion organs, one situated' at the ventral part and two at the superior -part of the pro-thorax. The last are always visible, and were submitted to the tests. The light was produced by nibbing the msect with a light brush, and was examined by means of an ordinary spectroscope with a prism of very refrangible glass and a micrometer.

The spectrum was very fine, continuous, and showing neither brilliant nor dark This peculiarity has already been pointed out by -Pasteur and Gernez, who studied the light from a pyrophore belonging to the late Abbe Moigno. editor of Les Mondrs. The spectrum occupied about seventy-five divisions of the micrometer, and extended on the red side to the middle of the interval which separates the raya A and of the solar spectrum, and on the blue side a little beyond the ray E. When the intensity of the light varied, its composition changed in a remarkable manner. When the.

brightness diminished the red and orange disappeared entirely, and the spectrum consisted of green, and-a little blue and yellow. The green rays lasted longest. The contrary took place when the light grew in brightness, the green appearing first and the spectrum extending a little on the blue and a great deal on the red side. The least refrangible rays are therefore emitted last. No other luminous source known appears to behave in like manner.

The only case which bears a resemblance is that of sulphate of strontium becoming phosphorescent under the action of light at a growing temperature: As the temperature rises, rays less and less refrangible appear in the spectrum, but at the same time, as Edmond Becquerel has shown, the less refrangible rays disappear. When the light of the organ begins to appear, the central and for ward part only of the organ Is luminous. It only when the light is very bright that the periphery of the is luminous, and then the red rajs are visible. The light was found to give photographic images on a gelatino-bro-mide plate; the insect being two centimeters from the plate, and the time oi exposure reduced from an hour to five minutes. The photographs show that the light of the pyrophore is capable ol producing intense chemical effects, if the smallness of the quan: itv emitted be taken into account.

The iight also determines the phosphorescence of sulphate of calcium, after an exposure of five minutes: and eosine and azotate of uranium are rendered fluorescent by it. Scientific American. A NEW INLAND SEA. The Late Discovery of Hitherto Unknown Body of Water iu Canada. So extraordinary was the story pub lished not long since in the-daily papers describing a lake lately discovered in Canada as rivaling in size the greatest of our inland seas, that it was at once denounced as a hoax or an exao-o-era- CO tion.

Later and fuller -reports, however, seem to confirm the first. Within three hundred miles of Quebec and within one thousand miles of New York City, nearer to the settled portion of Canada than anv other lake except Winnipeg, stretches an immense body of water hitherto unknown to geographers, and estimated by the imperfect surveys already made to at least equal Lake Ontario in magnitude. A glance at any good map of Canada will show directly north of Quelle a small lake named jSIistasjiii. or Alistas-simnie, but which henceforth will probably be called Little Mistaini to distinguish it from its great neighbor. Last year M.

Cornea read a paper before tbe Quebec ideographical asserting that the size of Lake Mistiissini had leeii greatly underrated. An exploring expedition was sent out by the soeiety, and the account' now given to the world is furnished bv Mr. F. II. l3gnell, who commanded the transport 'expedition which preceded the main ex- editton in charge of John Bignell.

L. This account declares that the reat lake is entirely distinct from that already known by the name of Mis-tassini, arid that it is an expansion of I pert Kiver, pist as the great estern I ikes are expansions of the St. Law-t-enee. From September 10 to Sen- 'ember 17. Mr.

Bignell vovasred on th.i.s lake, noting deep and numer- f.us. biivs' ami inlets and beauti- IjI islands, ou one of which he was compelled to harbor for some days because of the high He had then ailed 120 miles and had not reached the widest part of the lake. The waters warmed with niauv species of fish, fnr- bearing animals abound on the shores, and the surrounding lands are well wooded and, in part, arable. The main surveying party will remain in the field for two years. It has already been pro posed to connect Quebec with the lake bv a railroad, and it is believed that tiianv French Canadian farmers will be ittracted by the vast area of fertile land.

One of the most curious facts in con nection with this lake is that, though nap-makers and the general public have been ignorant of its existence, it has long been well known to the Hudson Bay Company, which has had a trading tation with the Indians on its shores. for nearly a hundred years. The region was so rich in fur-bearing animals and so profitable to the Companv that thev have pedulousry kept to themselves their knowledge of the magnitude of the lake. Mr. Bignell is a man of scientific attainments and a member of the Quebec Geographical Societv, and there seems no reason to doubt the substantial accuracy of his Christian nwn.

WW tiously taken, it is a serious question if this missionary band will not invite disaster if it persists in, its present purpose of pushing on-at once into -the depths of Africa with its burden of women and youths and children in arms. One Linyanti tragedy in this cen tury is enough. Livingstone thought be saw, near the Zambesi, a fine field for missionary labor. He was' told that if white men came to live among the Makalolos. the chief would re move his residence for their benefit from" Linyanti to the more salubrious highlands twenty miles At the request of the great explorer, missionaries, with their wives and children, were dispatched from land to Linyanti.

They traveled a thousand miles of wilderness in ox wagons, only to find at the end of their terrible journey a faithless chief, an indifferent people, and a deadly climate. All of them, except two little orphans and one man, died in Linyanti, purposely detained in a hotbed of fever by the treacherous King, who enriched himself with all their belongings as fast as they perished. Bishop Taylor's party Will enter Africa at the Portuguese port of Loanda. The climate of this small city is comparatively salubrious, and the neighboring district of Pungo Adongo is the most healthful in An gola. When these Methodist pioneers are thus far on their way thev will very likely decide that it will be wise for some of their strongest men to push on ahead, that they may learn exactly what is before them, and that they may shield the weaker elements in trmr band from needless exposure to suffering and danger.

It might improve their, chances for ultimate usefulness in theTushilange country if Bishop Taylor's people should make haste slowly in reaching it. THE LARGEST TOBACCO MANUFACTORY IN THE WORLD. Consumption of Tobacco and Who Produces It. Grocer and Country Merchant.

Lorillabd manufacturers of the celebrated Climax, Red Tin Tag Plug Tobacco, and the largest manufacturers of tobacco in the produces about one-sixth of all the tobacco consumed in this country, although there are 773 other manufactories in the United States.

Butler Sues Steve Elkins. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler has began a suit in the United States Circuit Court against Stephen B. Elkins one of Hlaine's managers, of the Republican National Committee.

The complaint charges that in February, 1884, a contract was signed whereby the defendant agreed to convey by quit claim to the plaintiff about acres, of land in Mora county, New Mexico. Gen. Buttler was to pay Elkins seventy-five cents an acre. Gen. Butler asks the Court to enjoin Elkins from selling the lands, and make him perform his agreement.

On to Oklahoma. The Oklahoma colony, of Topeka, Kansas, hereby call a state convention of all interested in the settlement of the government lands in the Oklahoma county to meet in the city of Topeka Tuesday, the 2rd day of February, 1885. Every colony in the state is invited to send delegates, also Kansas City, Mo. Col. Hatch is now marching on this territory threatening to expel the settlers at "long range." There must be a united effort from all sides to save these lands from cattle rings and corporation, for actual settlers.

By order of the colony, Sam'l Dolman, President. I. W. Pack, Secretary. 1 Mahdi Routed.

The English force of 1,500 men advancing on Khartoum under Colon el Stewart, met 8,000 of El Mahdi's army near Abu Klea wells, and a terrific battle ensued. The English fought in a hollow square with field pieces at the corners and invalids and provisions in the center. At one time the English lines were broken and a hand to hand combat followed, the rebles being driven back and the line reformed. El Mahdi's forces were finaly beaten and routed, with a loss of 800 killed and 200 men wounded. Stewart lost nine commissioned officers killed and nine more wounded, and 65 noncommissioned officers and men killed, and 85 wounded." The Kind of A Democrat He Is.

General Charles W. Blair, the well known Democratic leader in Kansas having been spoken of in connection with a place in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, manfully says Most of the Democratic papers in my State have been saying kind things about me, but I do not worry myself on the subject, as I have no personal ambitions to disappoint. If Mr. Cleveland will give us a good administration such a one as will maintain the Democratic party in power my ambitions for the country (the only one I think I have) will be more than satisfied.

This is the right sort of talk, and we commend it to all Democratic statesmen' who have been mentioned in connection with prominent positions under the new administration. In this spit it the Democratic party can go on conquering. iv. Jr woria. Bound For Central Africa.

Bishop William Taylor's missionary party of Methodists, numbering over fifty men, women and childreu. started Thursday last for the field of work it has chosen in Central Africa. This party is the largest band of missionary workers that has ever gone to Africa, and it is entering with great apparent cheerfulness and confidence upon a journey that the best explorers could not undertake without a vivid -sense of its difficulties and perils. Scientific societies that promote explorations intrust their enterprises to men who are supposed to' be specially qualified by their prudence, intelligence and physical powers to travel among, the savages of little-known They provide them with every facility that experience suggest or money can buy, and yet the fear that some blunder or unlucky chance will ruin them is never dispelled until they are at. their journey's end.

The clergymen, farmers and artisans who, with their wives and little ones, compose this missionary band, hope to penetrate a part of Africa that the bravest explorers would not tread without extreme, caution. Ac cording to Bishop Taylor's plan, they expect to plunge into the African jungle, ford many bridgeless creeks and rivers, pass through tribes that are hardly known by name, until they finally reach a country 800 miles from the west coast and- 300 miles south of the Congo, which only two white men have visited. One of these white men lived to get back and tell what he saw. Lieutenant Wissman brought back wonderful stories about the great plain that Bishop Taylor hopes to reach. It his report is accurate, it is the most densely peopled part of the continent, and its living in a fairly salubrious climate, and more highly skilled in agriculture and iron working than most African peoples, are well worth seeking out by the teacher and trader.

Very, little, however, is yet known The capitol at Washington came very near going up in smoke and flame on Monday morning. The fire originated among a lot of books and records stored under the roof of the House of Representatives. Itissup-posed to have been started by the electric wires used in lighting the hall. The fire was confined to a space about twenty feet square, and was extinguished by the firemen before much damage was done. The fire was not discovered until the sparks began to fall on the floor of the House from the roof above.

A few members and pages were in the House at the time, and as soon as the sparks began to fall there was a rush for the doors in anticipation of an explosion similar to that on Saturday in the British House of Parliament. This little fire demonstrated the necessity of more adequate means of fire protection at the capitol. Immediately after it became certain that Mr. Blaine was beaten, various Republican organs began to put him in nomination for 1888. We do not observe that any of the Republican journals friendly to him before the Convention have expressed any dissatisfaction with him.

As for those Republican journals which were unfriendly to him, they are, as thfy were, in a hopeless minority. They think, of course, that the result of the election shows that the party made a great mistake in putting him up. Mr. Edmunds and a few other Republican politicians are probably more than ever convinced of the foUy committed by the Chicago But there is no evidence that the majority of the Republican party has changed its mind about Mr Blaine. In spite of his remarkable record, he is the most popular man in his party.

Mrs. Governor Martin and Mrs. Senator Ingalls held a reception at th Copeland on Friday evening last. The Governor appointed Rev. A.

If the Legislature will pass a ge road law which will enable th people to build good wagon roads th- will be entitled to great credit. A resolution has been introduced in he House to change the name of St. John county. If this act of petty spleen should be carried out, it would make a martyr of the prohibition candidate for President. If th- name of St.

John county is to be clanged, we suggest that of Burch-anl. About two o'clock Saturday after-no last the citizens of London were thrown. into a frenzy of excitement by an explosion in the Tower of L- udon, followed in a few moments by another detonation in the two uses of Parliament some four or fK- miles distant from the of London. The explosive material placed in the crypt of West-mi Hall, a wing of the when it exploded al- the windows were smashed to pi -'S, the woodwork shattered and a wi le hole made through the floor, tl gallery displaced, the benches turned and broken, and the gal-ler ge aerally dismantled.
