OPIUM AND IT'S EFFECTS.

Wells Williams says: 1.-THE amount Of nA-

correct, makes the consumption Of opium in
the Chinese Empire Is, 900, 900 pounds"
On I basis Of 200, 000, 900 smokers this

BIRDS DESCENDED FROM REPTILES.

The outa ard unlikeness OF birds and rep
tiles is we'll indicated by popular senii-
uent. Yet recent studies ct development
and Of corresponding parts previously over
looked oblige us TO regard the reptiles as
more nearly related to the birds than to the
other cold-blooded vcrtebrates-the bat
tIaohians 9nd fishes.
Among the few remaining distinctions be-
tween them, we notice the absence Of teeth
and Of . long tail with birds; for however
much elongated may be the tail-feathers Of
the bird, they are borne by few rather
stunted caudal vertebr0. And SO when, in
the lithographic states Of Solenhofen, was
found skeleton with wings and feathers
like bird, but . very long tail as in some
lizards, there were some who At t1rst hesltat-
ed to regard it as bird at all.
There are reasons for supposing that this
long-tailed bird. the Arch@pteryx, had
teeth; and within few years there have
been found in the Cretaceous rocks Of our
West several fossil birds with numerous
teeth, either lodged in grooves or implsnt-
ed in sockets Nor was this 50 wholly I'm
expected, since little tooth-like papill0 had
,ong been found in the beaks Of very youn 6
birds.

Louis made up his mind that De la Reynie

grand court favorites besides the Countess

villainous priests who were executed, there
were many other clergymen involved more
or less deepiyin the same impieties. The
King. who, il spits Of his free life, was after
his own fashion, highly religious man,
did net like TO strengthen the hands of the
enemies of Catholicism by publishing to the
