SunStroke.

Prof. Youmans, in the last Popular
Science Monthly, furnishes some infor-
nation about sunstrokes with which
many persons are not likely to be famil-
lar. He says it may be experienced
without the direct rays of the sun it
attacks people in hospitals, vessels, and
often in the night men in bed who have
retired in apparent health. It is pro-
duced by exposure to artificial heat, as
the laundry of a hotel. Heat is the
principal exciting cause, but other con-
d1tions aid it, as overcrowding and in
sufficient ventilation md exhaustion,
produced by prolonged exertion. Want
of naturalization is the predisposing
cause and spirit drinkers are more
liable to it than abstainers. A victim
of sunstroke should be taken immedi-
ately to the shade, outdoors is better
than indoors, on account of ventilation !;
the clothes should be stripped from the
body, and the head, neck and chest
should be continually drenched with
cold water, until there is perceptible
diminution of the temperature of the
body. The patient should be encour-
aged to drink freely. To avoid sun
stroke, the function of the skin should
be kept free by bathing; hard labor in
a highly heated atmosphere should be
summed; the dress worn should be
light and loose fitting, and the hat light
and so made as to permit free circula-
ton about the top of the head.

A POISONOUS P1ANT.-A few years
ago there was in the Royal Botanical
gardens at Kew specimen of probably
the most poisonous plant ever intro
duced into England. 1t was the Jatr0-
pa atre'aS, the properties of which are so
noxious that its possession is positively
dangerous.
The ex-curator of the gardens was
one day reaching over 1t, when its fine,
bristling stings touched his wrist. The
first sensation which he felt was numb
ness and swelling of the lips; the action
of the poison was on the heart, circula-
ton was stopped, and he soon fell, IN
conscious the last thing he rendered
being cries of "Run for the doctor I"
Either the doctor was skillful, or the
dose of poison injected not quite, though
nearly, enough to cause death but af-

house the plant was placed, got it thrust

Colored Jews.

In the city of Cochin, Hindostan,
says the Jewish Times, live some 1000
colored Israelites, whose skin is not so
dark as that of the genuine Ethiopian.
They are Jews in every sense, worship
the God of their fathers, the only true
Jehovah, and are intellectually the SUI
periors of the white population of the
place. According to their own account
their origin is as follows The conquest
of portion of the East Indies by the
Europeans opened to commerce a wide
field and attracted multitude of specu-
lators from all parts of the world.
Among these were many young Israel
ties from Bagdad, Bassorah and Yemen,
who came to make their fortune in the
new Eldorado. After they lad settled
down they purchased from the negroes
black female slaves, many of whom
were afterward converted and then mar
ried by their masters. It was from
these marriages that the present race
descends. Ancient Hebrew manuscripts
and law tables, written on parchment,
have been found among the Cochin
Jews.

The Good Old Times,

NJ Louis Lagare, of the Courir Mu-
nicipal, Paris, has just published an
essay showing how persons who sold
tainted meat used to be punished. He
writes that in June, 1851, Jacques Tour
nebru, nicknamed the Shearer, seized
some suspected meat on the stall of
Pierre Bardel. A report was instantly
drawn up and transmitted to the syndic
of the butchers, Michel Saint-Yon. An
inquiry was ordered, and it was found
that the accused was an old offender A
second report was addressed to the pro-
vost of Paris, comparing the culpit to
prisoner, and demanding in the name of
a cooperation outraged by the infamy of
one of it's members the degradation and
then the death of Pierre Bardel. The
first magistrate of the police approved
the conclusions of the report, and the
delinquent was condemned to pass three
hours in the pillory, and then to perish
by the hands of the public executioner.
On the day of the execution, 1877
butchers of the city of Paris repaired
to the market, and drew themselves up
round the pillory. At the end of three
hours the upstaff announced to the peo-
pie that the prisoner was about to be
executed. All the butchers, with hats
off bowed their heads, and justice was
done.

Changed Checks.

Smashing trunks is not the only pas
time of depot attendants, nor is smash
ing the only ill-fate to which the "Sar-
atoga" is liable. There is another way
of making the traveller miserable. Pro-
baby it is not necessary to say that a
hack driver has been arrested for it,
and it is therefore shrewd trick. The
person in the game takes a short trip
and takes his trunk with him. 1t is
we'll known that trunks have no legs,
and cannot run away; so trusting in
this fact, the baggage masters in the
smaller places are very apt to leave the
trunks in heap until the cars arrive.
This is the opportunity that the design
ing traveller has in view. He steps up
to see if his trunk is all right. In look
ing it over he takes its check off and
and puts that trunks check upon his
piece of baggage. Then he wanders
away satisfied. On reaching his desti-
nation he takes the trunk to which his
check entities him and drives off with
it. There are, of course, all sorts of
chances in the mattar, but the expert
ment pays, since the price disposed of
is only ballasted and utterly valueless.
The great difficulty, now that the game
is exposed, is how to put check to it.
People who have anything valuable IN
this world, and who take it about in
trunks can read this and have some
thing to worry over whenever they make
trip on the cars.

CHLoRAL-HYDRATE FOR CHILDREN
DIR. Monti of Vienna publishes, in one
of the medical journals, the results of
his experience with chloral-hydrate in
the diseases of children. He found
that when doses, suitable to their age,
were administered, the children exhibit
ted a slight redness of the face, and a
condition similar to intoxication, passing
off into deep sleep. The pulse was, at
first, somewhat accelerated, and after
ward retarded; the respiration was m
changed, and the temperature of the
body was reduced. Only very large
doses produced a well-marked numb
ness of the skin, and consecutive anes-
thesia, with contraction of the pupils.
The sleep was normal, and, on waking,
there remained neither sleepiness nor
congestion of the head, nor any other
disturbance of sensation. The hydrate
sometimes produced vomiting, but never
diarrhoea. DIR. Mont declares that the
hydrate fulflls the requirements of
causing sleep as well and completely in
children as in adults. IN whooping-
cough it seems to be useful in the first
stage, but injurious in the third, by
diminishing expeetoration.

THE CIRCULATION OF WATERS.
principles involved in the circulation of
the waters of the sea were beautifully
shown before the Royal geographical
society recently, by simple expert
ment. A trough, with plate-glass sides,
about six feet long and foot deep. but
not more than an inch wide, was filled
with water. At ONE end piece of ice
was wedged in between the sides to re-
present the polar cold, while the tropic
heat was represented at the other end
by bar of metal laid across the surface
of the water, the projecting end of
which was heated by a spirit lamp.
Red coloring matter was then put in
the warm end, so that the current could
be traced. The blue water, chilled by
contact with the ice, Immediately fell
down to the bottom, crept slowly along,
and gradually rose toward the surface,
at the equatorial end, after which it
gradually returned along the surface to
the starting point. The red water
crept first along the surface to the polar
end, then fell to the bottom just as the
blue had done, and formed another
stratum, creeping back along the bottom
and coming to the surface. Each color
made distinct circulation during the
half hour in which the audience viewed
the experiment.

Disease of Hogs.

The Planter and Farmer gives these
receipts for the treatment of cholera,
mango, and worms in hogs "There
are but three diseases requiring treat
ment, which are mango, cholera, and
worms in the kidneys commonly called
breaking down in the loins. For mango,
wash well with I've soap, and then pot
liquor. For cholera, if you know the
disease, as soon as you see the hog be-
gin to droop and try to vomit, gag him,
and give him twenty grains of calomel
made into a pill. If you have been in
the habit of giving your hogs spirits of
turpentine, at the rate of one table
spoonful to the hog, put it on corn, and
you will be rarely troubled with this
fatal disease
If the first dose of calomel does not
relieve in twenty-four hours, repeat the
dose. rarely have to repeat it if adj
ministered in time. We sometimes see
hogs dragging their hind legs. This is
caused by worms in the kidney, and
may be easily cured by giving table
spoonful of turpentine every morning
for three or four days mixed with corn.
Hogs which have been feeding on acorns
are most subject to this disease, and
should have the turpentine at least
twice a week while feeding on this mast.
Every hog feeder should keep a bottle
of the spirits of turpentine, and give it
occasionally through the year he will
find it of great benefit to his hogs. I
have practiced this for twenty years
successfully. It seems to be a specific
food for all hog diseases.

The Nile.

The sources of the Nile are contained
in the rain-cIouds of the equator, which
pour themselves down on the forest
plateau, form into 4 thousand rivers,
and finally collect in enormous lakes,
the precise number and Importance of
which are yet to be determined. From
Bakers Albert Nyanza, the most north
erly in latitude, and lowest in level, of
these inland seas, the Nile runs toward
Europe, and plunges into the Sahara.
From it's great equatorial reservoirs it
receives a suficiency of water to main
tain its existence throughout this land
of fire, where all other rivers are speed
lily extinguished. But the Nilenot only
flows through the Sahara, it also over
flows the fiat country lying near its
mouth, and, casting mud on the surface
of the sand, creates that meadow which
is called Egypt.
Now this black mud does not come
from the lands of the equator the wa
ters of the Nile are clear, or white and
although the lakes can keep the Nile
alive in its journey through the desert,
they cannot make it overflow. Whence
then proceed these rich soil laden and
redundant waters to the weary Nile?
On the right-hand side of that flow
ing river, between its waters and the
Red sea, a cluster of mountains rises in
the air. These are the Highlands of
Ethiopia, the romantic Abyssinia, the
Switzerland of Africa; and down these
hilly slopes, at certain season of the
year, rush two noisy streams, the Blue
or Black Nile, and the Atbara, which,
stripping their country of its black
upper soil, fall into the Nile, and be-
stow upon it such wealth of water,
that, as soon as it escapes from the
rocky walls which line its course in the
Nubian desert, it is forced to overflow.
Thus the Nile is created by the rain
fall of the equator, and Egypt by the
rainfall of the tropics. If the White
Nile did not exist, the Black Nile would
be nothing, it weuld perish in the sand.
But if the Black Nile did not exist, the
White Nile would be merely barren
river in sandy plain, with some Arab
encampments on its banks.

The Swimming Collar.

Swimming collars indeed? Who ever,
until lately, heard of such thing? One
has heard of grinning through horse
collar, but to swim in collar seems, at
first sight, so great an absurdity that the
idea alone sufices to raise a smile. The
swimming collar is very thin and light
India-rubber circular, cylindrical in
fated tube, which is placed round the
neck by being drawn over the head be-
fore imitation; or, in those for use
of women, tied round the neck.
It is then inflated through small
tube, long enough to reach the
mouth. As, however, the India-rubber
cylinder would not of itself be strong
enough to bear rough usage, it is in
closed in an an outer cover or case of
elastic cotton, similar in texture to a
cotton stocking which outer cover, be-
ing smaller than theinner tube, is tight
~ filed before the latter is so, and thus
receives all the strain from any out
ward pressure or blow. This is the
same principle as that on which the
American inflated tubular boat was con-
structed, which some time since crossed
the Atlantic, from New York to South
ampton. The invention is manufac-

five shillings. The buoyancy of the
collar, which will float all iron weight
of eight rounds, will raise a persons
head quite out of the water, and float
him with his mouth open about or 5
inches above its surface. The actual
weight of the collar is less than two
ounces. 1t must, however, be borne in
mind that the swimming collar is not
intended to supereede the life belt; nor
is it fitted to do so, since a proper life
belt will have sufficient buoyancy to
float the person with the shoulders and
chest above the water, which no belt or
collar round the neck could do; but
then life-belt is a comparatively large
and cumbersome thing, while the neck
collar, when uninfated and folded up,
is no larger than pair of gloves or a
thin stOcking--HOn1e Journal.
