La Goulue, the Moulin Rouge dancer' whose personality and daring character dances won for her a world-wide reputation a quarter of a century ago, has been discovered by Confoedia, the Paris theatrical newspaper, living in a caravan at St. Quen, just outside Paris. About the beginning of the contury, La Goulue was perhaps he best known music hall dancer Fin France, and her jewels and dresses were reputed to be worth a fortune. At fashionable supper parties, she used to be invited to dance once, and her fee for this was £40.

Yet a lamp of that kind on'a small sch.e has been shown by a Prince- ton professor, Dr. Newton Harvey, and he has explained how one large enough to read by could be constructed (points out The Children's Newspaper.) The firefly's light, like that of the glow-worri, is caused by the combined action of two chemical substances called luclierin, and luciferase, though exactly what they are, the chemist docs not know. When he does he will be able to make the glow- worn's light and sell it. At pre- sent it is too dear.
