GUANO NOT THE EXCITEMENT OF
SEA BIRDS.

The long received opinion that guano
is the deposit of myriads of sea birds,
accommodating through long ages, is
rendered untenable by the recent in
vestigations of DR.. Habel. After treat
ing the guano with an acid, microscop-
zeal and chemical examination revealed
that the insoluble residue was composed
of fossil sponges and other marine an
imals and plants precisely similar in
constitution to such as still exist in
those seas. The fact that the anchors
of ships in the neighborhood of the
guano islands often bring up guano
from the bottom of the ocean, is quite
in opposition to the prevalent belief.
DIR. Habel therefore considers that the
deposits of guano must be the result of
the accumulation of fossil plants and
animals whose organic matter has been
transformed into nitrOgenous SUBJ
stance, the mineral portion remaining
intact.

HOW ANIMALS MAY BE STARVED.

Macaise and Marcel experimental IN
feeding a sheep that weighed So pounds
on food that contained no nitrogen,
such as sugar, starch and gum and
water. The sheep lived 20 days and
died with every appearance of starving.
1t weighed at that time 81 pounds, or
% less than when the experiment be-
gan. The vital principle consumed
over a pound day of the fat and flesh
of the system, butt could no longer sup
port life. Teidman and Gmelin tried
similar experiments on geese with like
results. A goose fed on sugar, that
weighed 6 pounds l ounce, died in %
days, weighing pounds 8 ounces.
Gum and starch as in corn
and potatoes, did no better.
If fat, oil, starch, gum and all non-ni-
trogenous food is valUeless alone as ami
NAL food, albumen, gluten, legumin,
pure, are very little better. A goose
fed on the whites of eggs (albumen)
died in 46 days from starvation, having
lost four pounds in weight. Hence, if
a farmer would obtain the best result
from feeding stock of any kind, or even
workingmen, he must mix starch or its
equivalent in sugar, oil or gum with
such elements as abound in peas, oats,
wheat, clover, corn, meat and cabbage
The oil in corn is burnt in the bodies
of man and beast to keep their blood
warm.

The above table shows that S106 $4,000 have been
paid for licenses, and SIG, 1921 cent out of the
Kingdom for opium to the latter amount should be
added fifteen per cent. for duties, making q grand
total Of S240,472.60 which opium consumers have
paid, in IL years, not counting the per centage of
profit to the dealers.
In 1866, with a Chinese population Of 1,206. the
cost of opium and license for its sale, was 81 ,790.25,
or Sc 46 per capita; while in 1872, with a popula-
ton of 1888 Chinese, the opium and license cost
S32,388.32, or SIGH per capita. The statute pro-
hibits the sale of opium 10 others than Chinese; but is
