Veterinary Vandalism.

The Rural Ness Yorker says: There is
a class of men who travel through the
country protesting to be veterinary
surgeons, who are unknown, and not
likely to be known long III any locality.
They do swindle farmers-there is no
doubt ce it. Our stock interests are be-
coming of such magnitude, and the dis
eases which affect stock so common,
that nearly every thousand farmers who
breed horses, cattle, sheep and swine,
ought to support skilled veterinary
surgeon. There is need of such aid in
domestic husbandry. But we ought to
have laws which will properly punish
malpractice in the treatment of domes-
tic animals, as we'll as humans. This
sort of protection should be afforded by
law. Until it is, these itinerants will
thrive on illgotten gains. 1t seems to
US that country physicians ought find it
proftable-and it certainly would not
be undigniied-to combine with their
practice for the salvation of human life
veterinary practice. There is a rich and
useful field open before them in this di
rection and the knowledge of the laws
governing human health are not map
plicable in the treatment of dumb
brutes.

The Comet Panic In 1872.

Winston, justly celebrated as math-
ematician and as the translator of Jose.
plus, predicted in 1712 that comet
would appear on Wednesday, the 18th
of October, of that year, at FIVE minutes
of five o'clock in the morning, and that
on the following Friday the earth would
be destroyed by fire.
The comet appeared punctually, and
this fact, added to Whiston's reputation
for science, spread the fear far and wide
that the remainder of the prediction
would likewise be fulfilled.
A number of persons, believing in the
saving properties of water, got into
boats and barges in the Thames. South
Sea and India stock fell. 1t is even
related that frightened Dutch captain
threw all his powder overheard, lest it
should endanger the ship. One hun
dred clergymen were ferrled to Sabbath
Palace to request the preparation of
proper prayers, there being none in the
church service appropriate to such an
emergency. But the panic, neverthe-
less, produced great good; for the peo-
pie universally believed that the day OF
judgment was at hand, and acted upon
that belief. Many wrongs were righted,
many breaches of morality repaired,
and many sins "repented Of"

German Losses i'm the War.

The Augsburg Gazette has published
the statement of the German soldiers
who were killed or died of disease du-
ring the late war. The number is
frightful, far greater than the French,
Notwithstanding the constant defeats of
the latter. From the beginning OF the
war to the lst of September, or about
forty days, the Germans lost $4,000
men, of whom 1897 were officers, 961
of whom died on the field of battle.
Between September and February, they
lost, around Metz, 1915, of whom 1888
were officers, I'LL non-cemmissioned
officers, and &c, 81 soldiers. Before the
nineteen places besieged and invested,
they lost 20,750, of whom $50 were off
GERS; and before Paris, they lost l l 1868
of whom 480 were officers, Shaking 8
total of 1S3,07S. Judging by what hap
pened with you, after the war, it may be
estimated that of fathers, mothers, sis
tiers and children who died of grief or o.
distress due to the war, there were about
twice as many as there were soldiers
which would make, for each nation
about 100000 individuals, or 100000 il
all, and several thousands of millions
spent, in less than six months.-Pari

Sounds of the Sea.

When shell is held up to the ear
there is peculiar vibratory noise which
children assure each other is the roar
of the sea, however distant they may
be from it.
Philosophically investigated the pecu-
liar sound thus recognized is phenom-
enon that very much perplexed
learned gentlemen for long while.
The experiment is easily made by sim
ply pressing spiral shell, common in
collections, over the cerebra of either
ear. If large shell the sound is very
much like that of far off cataract.
Now what causes it
Every muscle in the body is always in
a state of tension. Some are more on
the stretch than others, and particularly
those of the fingers. 1t is conceded
that the vibration of the fibers of those
in the fingers being communicated to
the shell-it propagates and intensifes
them, as the hollow body of violin
does the vibration of its strings, and
thus the acoustic nerve receives the
sonorous impressions. Muscles of the
leg below the knee are said to vibrate
in the same way, and if conducted to
the ear produce the same result.

A SmOtherd Volcano In Virginia.

A letter from Lebanon, Russell county,
in the Abingdon Virginian, says: "Nel-
son II. Frailey, of Castles Woods in this
county, went to the spring to wash,
near the house, when his attention was
attracted by an unusual noise, but see
ing nothing which gave rise to it he
started toward the house, and after
walking some twenty PAGES he heard a
report in the direction of the spring
louder than he had previously heard,
and not unlike the firing of gun. He
returned to the spring, and to his aston
lshment, found large rock cracking
and decorating, as before described, at
intervals, the aperture in the rock still
gradually but constantly increasing in
size. These detonations continued for
about twenty-four hours, and on his re-
turn to the spring next morning, he
saw rocks which had been thrown up
of various sizes, some of them weighing
from four to five hundred pounds, pre-
senting the appearance of a volcanic
eruption"

Paper Shoes.

A trial is now in progress at Lille, in
France, against the furnishers of shoes
with paper soles to the Army of the
North during the late war, and the most
fragrant rascalities are being brought to
light in the investigation. One unfor-
tunate sufferer testified that some days
before the battle of st. Quentin, shoes
were distributed among the men of his
company, and two pairs came to his
share. One pair he put on in the morn
ing of the day preceding the battle,
and by midday they were completely
played out, literally falling from his
feet. At midday he put on the other
pair, but by 4 o'clock they too had al

tempted the next day to march in
them. they fairly dissolved from his feet
in the mud, leaving him to march bare
footed in the intense cold, by which his
feet were so badly frost bitten that he
afterward had to submit to amputation.
This poor fellow, it is said, manages to
move along by the aid of two crutches,
and is completely incapaciated for

are immensely wealthy, and no one has
manifested any disposition, until very
recently, to relieve them of portion
of their scandalously earned fortunes.
