MEBItASKA. TDE3DAY, tlA? MIOSHWRESCENCE.. THE LIGHT WHICH ILLUMINES WITH OUT CREATING HEAT. Tb Glowing- Inhabitant of th Ba Th Fatal Gleam of Mackerel The Fireflies of Sooth America and the "Llghtnlng Hoa" of the Northern 6ection. There is no subject which tho re searches of scientists have more com pletely failed to elucidate than that of the causo of animal, mineral and vege table phosphorescence tho light which, unlike all other lights. Illumines with out either consuming or giving out any perceptible heat. The ocean is the great storehouse of phosphorescent light. On its surface myriads of noctiluoce (little creatures just visible to the naked eye) are often seen lighting the waves for miles, and presenting wonderful effects when the water is broken by the bow of a ship or the oars of a boat. Persons who have passed through a stretch of water crowded with noctilucse say that the light they give dims that of the stars, and makes the sea look as though it were a vast heaving mass of metal at white heat. The intensity of the light Is explained by the immense quantity of the little animals, which arc computed to number thirty thousand or so to the cubic foot. Bathers in waters where they abound have often been amazed to find, on emerging, that their !: '.I . i . :: ! ! . . luminous by the noctilucaj that cling to them. A kind of sea slug that is met with in the Mediterranean and the Pacific emits light from certain spots in the body. It is capable of being kept in an aquarium, and there are usually some specimens in the famous one at Naples. When dis turbed or swimming the light makes it look like a flame in the water. PYROSOSLE. The most splendid of the many lumi nous inhabitants of the sea are the pyro sorass. At night they look as though made of glowing white hot iron; diffus ing so strong a light that other fishes are rendered visible when they happen to swim within the sphere of their radiance. A distinguishing feature of the pyro soma is the variety of tints that it gives forth orange, green, azure, blue, white, and various shades of dark red having been all noticed by various observers. A tiny kind of shark that is met with off the shores of . the southern states of America is a noted light giver. Speci mens captured and taken into a dark apartment present an extraordinary spec tacV The eStire surface of the head and body emits a greenish gleam that is constant, and is not, as in tho case of most of these luminous inhabitants of the sea, increased by friction and agita tion. The Bmallness of th,et finrof this fish show that it is not an active swimmer, and the assumption is that its light is useful in attracting its prey, on the prin ciple of the torches used by many sav ages in fishing. Several kinds of crabs are luminous. One named the sapphirina is noted, for tne intensely vivid character of the light that proceeds from it. So brilliant is it that it does not need dark ness to make its presence known, but corruscates blue, purple, green, gold and sapphire rays in full daylisrht. The presence of a school of mackerel ia often indicated by the. phosphorescent gleam which ' these, fish ' p'roduce, Fishermen often descry them at a great distance by this light, and hasten to surround them by their nets. It is thought that mack erel make a secretion which eives the light, as after they are caT)$urec a gleam ing fluid js, noticed running off their bodies, and sometimes covering the hands of the mea who, pga them from the boat. FIREFLIES. It has been urged that the poet was guilty of an exaggeration in describing the fireflies as giving sufficient light be of any service; but tho accounts of travelers in Soutl America,whotell us that tha native's light their path while journeying by a couple of these insects tied to their feet, show that he was speaking quite within the bounds pf pos sibility. At evening entertainments in that part of the world it is customary far ladies to decorate their hair and dresses with fireflies, confined by deli cate silken threads. The natives of Vera Cruz do quite a large trade in fireflies, which they catch by waving a blazing coal at the end of a 6tick. The insects fly toward the light, and are captured in nets. The fireflies of Northern America differ from those just described iji tha fact that they emit their light in capricious flashes, instead of with a steady, uniform glow. This peculiarity has gained for them the name of "lightning bugs." Their light is very similar to that of our glowworm. A story is told of some French peasants who were returning home one night and saw a meteor fall through the sky in front of them; about halj a mile further on they came to a glQwing masa in a ditch and rushed away terrified, declar ing that a star had fallen upon the earth and was burning it up. On investigation it was found that this burning star was nothing more uncanny than a mass of frogs' eggs that had developed phosphor escence. Several varieties of the vegetable king dom are luminous in a greater or less degree. One of the fungi, which is not at all uncommon on the walls of - damp, dark mines, caverns, eta., occasionally emits sufficient light to admit of the reading of ordinary print by it- The emission of light from the common po tato when, in a state of decomposition is sometimes very striking. Several of the Indian plants and grasses are also lumin ous, and it is said that in 1845 the moun tains near Syree were nightly iUuminated by heir means. The root stock pf a plant from, tho Ooraghum jungle, sup posed to be an orchid, possesses the pe ulrar property pf beconung luminous when wetted, while, when dry, it is quite lusterless. The hairy red poppy, the nasturtium and the double marigold ere also luminous to a certain degree. London Standard. &1, 1S8&. UNCLAIMED AND LOST. ARTICLES THAT ARE DEPOSITED AND NEVER CALLED FOR. A Bank CaalUer Chat About rroperty That I Placet! lo Charge of Institu tions and Never Reclaimed Unre deemed Pledsea That Slake Sad Storle. Speaking to an old bank cashier the other day, I asked him whether there was not an enormous amount of property lying unclaimed in bank cellars and in safe deposit vaults. "A very large amount," said he, "but not nearly as much as somo people im agine, When property is placed in charge of a bank or a safe deposit com pany it is generally put there by people of pretty strict . business habits, and a careful record is kept, not only by the depositor, but also by the parties into whose charge it is givon. That reduces the chance of valuabl.es being overlooked, but still a very large quantity does re main unclaimed. All the custodians of such property can do is to preserve it in tact and hope for its redemption in the courso of time." "Is there a limit to such a time?" I asked. "Legally there may be, but I am not prepared to say what it is, since every case has to be settled upon its own mer its. Sometimes the boxes which have been regarded for a long time as contain they were ever preserved. But a bank official never expresses surprise, because he meets so many peculiar people and his whole time is occupied in keeping things straight." "But surely a list is kept of the con tents of packages left on deposit?" "When desired, yes; but when a sealed parcel or box is deposited the bank does exactly what common carriers do; signs, 'Contents unknown, and unknown they remain, whether delivered to the owner or awaiting reclamation. Of course every place of deposit has stories to tell about mysterious boxes, etrango parcels and odd packages which have been lying in secure corners of their strong rooms for years, but I am inclined to think that as far as banks and safe deposit com panies are concerned, the vast bulk of Buch property is redeemed soon or later. Lawyers nowadays are very apt to dig up every possible form of claim to valu ables of any description in the hands of public bodies, and a very faint clew is sufficient to start them off upon a suc cessful hunt. They often come upon rich possessions while searching for wills, and the first places, after counsel's offices, they Etart for, are the banks and safe, de posits." The desire to hoard in some form or an other ia a very widespread one, and every one could enumerate among friends and acquaintances a considerable number in whom the hoarding spirit is distinguish able. The difficulty of accumulating is as often rewarded by loss as by posses sion, but the knowledge of that fact does not diminish the desire to hoard. In the case of a miser, to whose heir the accu mulated property goes, the very opposite motives are found to exist. The miser shudders at the idea of his coveted pos sessions falling into other hands than his own, even when those hands are merely a bundle of dry bones, while the heir is all eagerness to clutch the property in order to disperse it. Miserly habits, if they ever prove to be hereditary, only become fully developed with age and a certain kind of experi ence, although a sort of avariciousness may always be traced ia tho progeny of one who has hoarded. It does not al ways take the form of grasping for wealth, but, as often as not, takes shape in a desire for superiority of position, power of dictation or uncommon popu larity. miser's way. It ia your miser who rummages out a place of hiding, to avoid any of those things he loved so well on earth being handled, even by those legaUy and equi tably entitled to what he is compelled to leave behind him. The hiding of treas ure by a mere miser does not long re main a mystery, because if his habitation is carefully searched it will surely be found. lie could not in life bear to be far away from it, and in hia last mo ments it is morally certain it was the thing his fingers with their clammy touch turned over before ho said good- by to it forever. Tho misanthrope who dreads to trust hia fellow man, and is distrustful of him self, is a great factor among the creators of unclaimed property. Even when making a will, as a sort of posthumous expression of hate toward humanity he places it n, some spot wnere not even a lawyer can find it. When his bones have been whitening a decade or two some workman stumbles on his crabbed writ ings ana a nine days wonder is tne re sult. Those to whom his property should have descended have suffered poverty and have joined the great majority, and his after death revenge on society lias been gratified. Then there are those who go dawn to the sea in ships, who, before the last voyage, deposit valuables where they alone could claim them. The dishonest appropriator of others' goods must not be forgotten. He dreads to carry the possessions he has stolen about his per son, ana Waea. them Jrom prying eyes. He takes flight, hoping at a future date to chum them, but either some new ad venture secludes him forever from soci ety. or he ends his worthless life, under a fictitious name, in some distant land.
