right soreness by anybody else. A
friend Of mine, WHO is q prima donna,
goes through life with q pair of red
swollen tonsils which would serve me
very nicely for the quinzy. Familiarity
in such cases breeds contempt, rs the
proverb teaches, for the abnormally en-
larged tonsils create no disturbance in
my friends mind. She remarks that a
physician who was unacQuainted with
artists throats would send her to bed if
he got peep at hers. But it is seldom
necessary to caution the possessor of a
singing voice to vigilance in the care of
it; it is too precious possession to be
lightly guarded. A voice which in the
money sense is equivalent to a row of
brown stone fronts in Fifth avenue, or I
know not how many oil wells in Penn
sylvania, will be treated with the Mt
most respect by wise possessor. Un-
fortunately, the singing voice is short
lived, if it be used. The exactions of
modern operas are so destructive in
their effects, that it is calculated tho
average duration of freshness of a
soprano voice is eight years, and Of a
tenor voice only six years. The bari
tone is somewhat harder, while a base
voice will generally last lifetime

of once celebrated bassos who still walk

An Uncomfortable Island.

The little island of NiccrOs in t.:
Greciah Archipelago, is suffering under
q constant supply" of boiling water.
Some months ago, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, the inhabitants were seriously
annoyed by a series of earthquakes,
which did much damage, and culmi-
mated in the bursting open of the sum-
nit of the highest peak in the island,
and flood of steam and boiling water,
which at one time led to the appre-
hension that not only would the whole
island be destroyed, but every living
thing contained on it. The mountain,
however, suddenly ceased to boil over,
and it was hoped that for some years at
least there would be no recurrence Of
this disagreeabls phenomenon. These
hopes were unfortunately dissipated
the other day when the mountain re-
sumed its Objectionable practice, and
emitted such volumes of boiling water
that the position of the island has be-
come almost unbearable. To add to
their discomfort, tho ground il con-
v,,lsed with earthquakes, and at the
date of the latest aavices the people
had taken to the open fields, where
they were safer than in their lettering
houses. A scarcity of provisions is
added to their other troubles, and
without houses, without food, and with
the prospect of being either scalded or
starved to death, the condition of the
good people of Niceros is at the pres
ent time by no means enviable.

Salt as q FOOd.StuR.

In the Zeitschrift fuer Biologie, DR..
Bunge publishes tho results of his in
vestigations as to the amount of salt
requisite for Authorization. He asks
whether animals can be content with
the amount of salt naturally occurring
IN their food, or whether they must not
get more. It is a matter of everyday
observation that herbivorous animals
have strong liking for salt, while the
carnivora show great rcpugnance to
sailed food. Still, if VIC analyzo the
food ,stnffs of both groups, we find that
the food OF the herbivora contains in
itself as much chloride of sodium "a
that of the carnivora; but it further
contains larger proportion of potash.
Hence Bunge concludes that the not.
ash salts react on the chloride of sodium
in the blood, yielding compounds which
are eliminated. In such case the or
genism lacks sodium, and the animal
must take in salt directly. This the
herbivora do instinctively; and this
man too must do, especially when
luguminous vegetables (which contain
a great deal Of potash) form large
proportion of his food.
