A Poison. Proof b.

A correspondent of Science Gossip tens
of an attempt to capture specimen OF
the scavenger-bird or ''adjutant," of India.
in which he failed in most unexpected
way. On account Of its valuable services
in clearing the streets OF decaying and
putrid matter, the bird is held in high es-
TEEN by the natives, who take every pre-
caution to protect it from harm. This
prevented an open attack, and poison was
the only alternative. The carcass of a
partially -dissected bat was stuffed wi h
enough arsenical paste and corrosive sub
Innate to kill twenty men. and the titbit
thrown to a flock Of the birds near by.
One of them swallowed the whole of it at
a gulp, and our student in comparative
anatomy thought his game secure. But.
though closely watched for three hours.
not the slightest sign Of uneasiness wa
manifested. and at the end of this time the
creature flew away with its fellows, ap-
parently as we'll as the best of them. The
accustomed naunts of the flock were at
terward carefully searched. but no trace
could be found of the dead body wanted ;
and it was concluded that, unlike other
gOrman"s. this one was not to be easily
got at through his st, mach.

On what a triflln$ matter great results

kinded fire on the sands of the sea shore
to warm themselves and cook some food.
They used for fuel a plant they found in the

some shining particles among the ashes, ard
an examination showed that the ashes of the
plant combined with the sand had produced

TRANSMISSION OF Blood.

"The first trial, of TRANSMISSION of blood
ever made" Denis says, twas made on a
young man, fifteen or sixteen years old.
This youth was attacked by a slow fever,
for which the doctors had bled him twen-
ty times. He had become dull and sleepy,
from the treatment, to the point of stu
pidity. Some little warmth was felt dur
ing the operation. Eight ounces of blood
were taken from him, and arterial blood
from the carotid of lamb was immediate
ly introduced by the same opening. He
got up about t. n O'Clock, dined with ex-
cellent appetite, and went to sleep at four
in the afternoon. He bleed slightly from
the nOsn."
The operation having succeeded, Denis
tried second, but more from curiosity
than necessity this time. The author re-
lates 1t himself as cOncisely as before.
"The TRANSMISSION was effected upon a
Qbair-pOrter, ofvigOrous constitution. for
ty-five years old. Ten ounces Of blood
were taken from him, and lambs blood
substituted. The man complained of no
pain during the operation, and was de-
lighted beyond measure with the new in
vention, which seemed to him very ingen-
iOus. When it was all over, he declared
that he never felt better. Employment
offering about noon, he carried sedan as
usual for the rest of the day. Next day
he begged that no one but himself might
be taken as subject for new experiments. ="
Three years before, TRANSMISSION of blood
had been practiced by Lower in England,
but only on dogs. Denis repeated with
these animals the experiments he had
made on men. These were varied in the
most interesting ways. He not only
transfused the blood of one animal into
the veins of another; but from the 9Th to
the 18th of March, i'm 1867, he caused the
same blood to pass into three different
dogs successfully. Granting the correct
ness Of the views then prevalent, he then
realized the famous Pythagorean fable of
the transmigra ion IF souls. The expert
menter was also bent no making his dis
coveries generally known, proposing to
make trials in public, and, for this pur-
pose, he fixed for the first day of his lee
lures Saturday, the 10th Of March, Of
the same year, at two in the afternoon, on
the quay of the Augustus" History does
not inform us whether Denis carried out
his plans.-Rerue des Deur Mondes.

English Women.

As a rule, women in English society
are remarkably natural-negatively nat
ural, mean. English girls are partic-
ularly simple and unassuming. They
are innocent of all effort to impress or as
tOnish. AS all wOmankind does and
should do, they make themselves as pref.
ty as they can; bat as to personal supe-
riOrities, their educators do not lay enough
stress upon such things to make them
ambitious to excel in that way. All
young ladies are taught certain node of
department, which is excellent so far as
it goes. The chief precepr of the code,
whether inculcared openly or by the
silent feeling of society, is that each
young lady must do as the rest. That
"young English GIRL" who is the theme
of the novelist and the magazine bards
and artists, easily merits all the adulstiOn
she receives. Does not all the world
know, is it not almost an impertinence to
say, that for dignity, modesty, proprie-
ty, sense, and certain soft self-pOsses-
zion, she has hardly her equal anywhere?
But the British maiden is taught that
ambition in character is not desirable
thing. The naturalness and propriety
which accompany this state of mind are
not particularly admirable. 1t is very
different from that propriety which is the
result Of elevation of character, of con-
illusions intimately known and constantly
practiced. People who have activity and
ambition are very apt to be affected, and
very apt to unduly crave recognition.
That we ask to be thought superior,
shows at least that we prize superiority.
When the young are left to their own
z -owth, and no restrictive tariff is put
upon individuality. we may expect little
nonsense. Society will certainly do a
great thing for the young if it teaches
them the folly of desire for recognition.
But this society does not do. fear. IL
merely instructs them not to ask fer re-
cognition, because by so doing they make
a bad impression. 1t has done them a
still more doubtful service. if. in giving
them this very good trait, 1t has also
taught them to emphasize less strongly
the superiOrities of character and con-
duct.-E. S. Nodai in ApriL Atlantic.

A Queer Phase Of Insanity.

When jurors. medical experts, and
journalists fall by the ears upon the ques-
ton Of what tenor of action should be re-
garded as proof or disproof of insanity,
the public are apt to view the whole dis
cussiOn as a mere pretext for such verbal
tumult as may either allow some criminal
misdOer to evade moral responsibility for
his crime, or cause a possible maniac to
experience the opposite fate. In other
words, there is no abiding popular faith in
what pretend to be- scientific tests of
mental health, the prevalent idea being
that man Is either a raving lunatic, a
pulling idiot, or sane, reasoning creature;
his condition in any case as obvious to a
child as to the wisest physician, "A all
pretense of learned doubt in the case the
veriest sham. Common scenes In modern
criminal trials 60 far to strengthen at
least the vulgar clamOr of this conclusion,
but 1t undoubtedly owes its greatest ten
acity to the common minds slowness of
credulity for what every common instinct

tons. Men shrink from crediting insanity

vaguest general way to the theory that the
mind, like the body, is subject to various
diseases, and Is only exceptionally i'm a
condition Of perfect health. Yet there is
scarcely town or even a neighborhOOd
in the world without its "queer," eccen.
tric character. whose tenor of action Is
such as to denote mental disease. In the
many such cases finding daily record in
public print there are plenty of parallels to
instances like the following taken from
papers OF rect mt date. At Middleburg,
