n LIFE IN THE TROPICS .-Ar. Butler, pleasant lee
turer entomology, in lecture delivered at Louis
Vile, thus describes of the Injuries of the tor
rid zone
I" The bette rouge lays the foundation of ire
mendous ulcer In a moment you are covered with
ticks. Chigoes bury themselves in your flesh, and
hatch colony of young chigoes in a few hours
They will not live together, but every chigoe sets
up a separate ulcer and has his private portion
of pus. Flies get entry into your mouth into ycu1
eyes into your nose; you eat flies, drink flies. anc
breathe flies Lizards, cockroaches and snakes, ge
into your bed ants eat up the books scorpions
sting you on the foot. Everything bites, stngs o.
bruises: every second of your existence you arr
wounded by some piece Of animal life that nobody
has seen before except Swammerdam and Me
riam. An insect with eleven legs is swimming il
your tea cup, a nondescrpt with nine wings is strug
Cling in the small beer, a caterpillar with severa
dozen eyes in his belly is Fastening the breat
and butter! All nature is alive, and seems to b.
gathering all her chronological hosts to eat you up
as you are standing: out of your coat, wastcoat
= breeches. Such the tropics. All this reconcile
to dews fogs, vapor, and drizzle-to our apoth
ecares rushing about with gargles and tinctures
to our old British constitutional coughs throats
: and sweled faces"
