THE INDUSTRY OF INTEREST. bis
ter, says Beecher draws sharper than
interest does. Of all Industries none
is comparable to that of interest. 1t
works all day and night, in fair wealth
er and foul. 1t has no sound in its foot
steps, but travels fast. 1t gnaws at a
mans substance with invisible teeth.
1t binds industry with its film, as a fly
is bound in spiders web. Debts roll
man over and over, binding hand and
foot, and letting him hang upon the ia
tai mesh until long-legged interest de-
yours him. There is but one thing on
a farm like it, and that is the Canada
thistle, which swarms new plants every
time you break its roots, whose bios
SONS are prolific, and every flower the
father of million seeds. Every leaf
is an awl, every branch a spear, and
every plant like platoon of bayonets,
and field of them like an armed host.
The whole plant is torment and veg

PROFESSOR SILLnlAN ON GIANTs.-ln
one of his recent lectures, Prof. Sill
man, the younger, alluded to the dis
covery of the skeleton of an enormous
lizard of eighty feet in length. The
Professor inferred, as no living specl-
men of such magnitude has been found,
that the species which it represents had
degenerated. The verify of his posi-
ton he rather singularly endeavored to
enforce by abiding to the well-known
existence of giants in old times. The
following list is the data upon which
the singular hypothesis is based:
The giant exhibited at Rouin, in the
year 1870, the Professor says, meas
ured nearly eighteen feet.
Garapius saw a girl that was nine
feet high.
The giant Galabria, brought to Rome
from Arabia, in the reign of Claudius
Caesar, was ten feet high.
Fannum, who lived in the time of
Eugene Ii, measured eleven and half
feet in hight.
The Cheyalier Scrog, in his voyage
to the Peak of Teneriffe, found in one
of the caverns of that mountain the
head of the Gunich, who had 60 teeth,
and was not less than fifteen feet high.
The giant Farragus, slain by Orian-
do nephew Of Charlemagne, was 90
feet high.
In 1900, near Rome, was found a
skeleton, whose skull held a bushel of
corn, and who was nineteen feet high
The giant Recart was thirty-threc
feet high: his thigh-bones were found
in 1903, near the river Moderi.
In 1923, near the castle in Dauphene,
a tomb was thirty feet long, sixteen
feet wide, and eight feet high, on which
was cut in gray stones these words:
'Kcutolochus Sex" The skeleton was
ound entire, twenty-five and a fourth
ect long, ten feet across the shoulders,
md five feet from the breast bone to
he back
Near Palermo, in Cicily, in 1916, was
ound the skeleton of giant thirty
eet high, and, in 1869, another forty
our feet high.
Near Mazalino, in Cicily, in 1915,
vas found the skeleton of a giant
hirty feet high. The head was the
ize of hogshcad, and each of his
ecth weighed five ounces.
We have no doubt there were giants
n those days, and the past was more !
rolific in producing them than the pres
mt. But the history of giants during
he olden time was not more than that ,
{ dwarfs, several of whom were even
mailer than the Nuts and Thumbs of !
ur time.

Mary j. Of Oneonta rebels against the
prevalent custom of wearing corsets; and
insists that "the human form divineu
needs no such adventitious aids to increase
its symmetry. Mary is exactly right. The
most perfect female figure, that ofthe Venus
di Medici, never knew the compression of
corsets. Paris milliners are skilled in fit
ting the dress to the form without the aid of
corsets, using for stiffening delicate and
yielding whalebones.

Where pilgrims tread with weary feet
Paths destined never more TO meet
A frivolous word Il sharp retort.

Two lives are wrecked on a stormy shore,
Where the pillows of passion surge and roar
To break in spray of tears
Tears shed to blind the pair,
Drifting seward and drowning there.

A Hash from a passing cloud
Two hearts are scathed to their utmost core,

To hide the scars of that agony.

An arrow at random sped.

Sweet love lies bleeding or dead.

Tearing the iondest heart from heart

But live and die in secret pain

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

The existence of wingless beetles in the
Azorcs---s group of islands about a thou
sand miles west Of Europe, and separated
from it by channel nearly fifteen thousand
feet deep-presents difficult problem to
the naturalist. As the Azores lie in a re-
gon of storms from all points of the COM
pass, and as these storms are capable of
conveying to their shores forms Of animal
and vegetable life, it is not surprising to
find that about nmety-four per cent. of the
birds, butterflies, beetles, and plants of
these islands are identical with European
or American species. But these wingless
beetles, which are found nowhere else, ex-
cept in Madeira and the Canary Islands.
could not possibly have travelled from these
groups to the Azores, over six hundred
miles of water, in their present condition.
Entomologists have come to the conclusion
that in these islands beetles have tendcr-
cy to become wingless, and that as some
of them differ from their European allies
only in this respect, the change from winged
TO wngless has taken place since the resi-
dence of the species in the Azores. The
descendants no longer possess the wings
which enabled their ancestors to emierate
from Europe. So says Mr.. Wallace, in the
academy.
Mr.. II. Il. Shaw, who accompanied Mr..
Forsyth on his recent journey to Yarkand,
IN Western Asia, was at one time detached
from the rest of the party; and he writes
Sir ROderick Alurchison, that in attempting
to descend one of the valleys in the region
through which they passed, he and his COM
panons suffered fearfully, III struggling for
three days through the broken ice of tor

from which, in some places, the light of day

An elephants tusk, curiously blackened
and diseased, and to which were attached
long rows of eggs, apparently those of an
insect, has recently attracted some attention
from scientific men in England. The clc-
pfant was shot by an army officer in Mala-
bar. Both tusks were in the same condi- |
ton. No one has, as yet, been able to
give any information concerning the para
site, except a writer to the Field, who saws
that the diseased tiisks are not uncommon. |
