Starvation in Northern China.

simultaneously with the dearth in
India, famine is raging in the north of
China but while the care and energy Of
the Indian government reduces the dis
trcss in the former case to Il minimum,
people are dying by thousands in China
Of sheer starvation The scenes of the
chief distress are in the north and east,
in the extreme north of Kiangsu, in
Shantung, in Pcchii, and in Shanse :;
and from Shantung especially the ac>
counts are heartrcnderirg. The whole
tract of country suffered last summer
from severe drouth, which nearly de-
stroyed the crops; and the peasantry,
having eaten what little grain they had
in store, or were able to gather, are re-
duced to the last stage OF want. The
people are eating grain hUsks, potato
stalks, and elm bark, buckwheat stalks,
turnip leaves, and grass seeds, which
they gather up in the fields. After
these are exhausted they ruIl down their
houses and sell the timber, and many
eat the rotten sorghum stalks from the
roof They sell their clothes and chill
dren Having no clothing left to pro-
tect them from the cold, many take
refuge in pits underground to keep them
selves warm by the ietid breath of the
crowd. In the east surbubs of Chinge>
how city there are four such pits. Ones
third OF the number (2iO) originally put
into them are now dead within six
weeks, and no sooner is corpse carried
ont than Il crowd are struggling for the
place Villages of 800 families report
800 dead OF starvation villages of 800
report 100 dead.
Almost the whole province Of Shan>
tung is suffering; but the suffering of
eight hicn districts is said to beyond dc-
scripton. and as each contains an
average Of 1000 villages, the thousands
who have already persisted may be too
readily conceived.
The government are doing next to
nothing to relieve the distress. They
have allotted only Cli,0OO for the whole
Of these eight districts-a mere pittance
for such a calamity.-L0ndon Times.

Ho" Eyes Grow.

Few products Of nature are more in
tercsting than Il sound, fully developed
eye. by tho aid Of Il good microscope it
is easy to see and count some seven thou
sand lenses, admirably set to receive light
from all directions, in the eye of Il com
mon house fly. Until quite recently,
and after the facts OF evolution had been
carefully studied, it was believed that an
eye not only suggested, but revealed the
handy work OF an architect quite as
clearly as watch or Il steam engine.
Now, men OF science have little doubt
that the beautiful and wonderful mechan-
ism of the eye in all its varieties, grows
like a hundred thousand species of plants,
and much greater number of animals,
from an inherent, active force in matter.
This change Of method docs not dctract
from the creative energy Of the great
first cause. The origin of lite is still
mystery, but not the origin of eyes, ears
and the organs OF sense. DemOcritus,
two thousand three hundred years ago,
recognized the existence OF general
sense OF touch from which all the senses
are slowly developed In this idea we
see the germ evolution.
Fish have been found in the
dark Mammoth cave Of Kentucky
with 40 eyes. They had no use
for eyes, and they ceased to grow
II light produces eyes, rs it does green
leaves on trees and grass, the question is
how! TyndaIl, who has stabbed the
properties of light more closely than
most scientists, says: THE action of
light, in the first instance, appears to be
a mere disturbance of the chemical pro
ccsses in the animal organism, similar to
that which occurs in the leaves OF plants.
BY d grees the action becomes localized
in n few fgment cells, more sensitive to
the light than the surrounding tissue
The eye is here incipient At first it is
capable of revealing differences OF light
and shade produced by the bodies close
at hand. Followed as the interception
of the light il in almost all cases by the
contact of the closely adjacent Opaque
body, sight in this condition becomes Il
kind of anticipatory touch The adj.
iustment continues, a slight bullying out
of the eperdermis over the igment
granules supervenes.
4 tense is incipent, and through the
operation OF infinite adjustments, at
length reaches the perfection that it dis
plays in the hawk and the eagle. so of
the other senses they are special differ
entiations of tissue which was origin
ally vaguely sensitive all over"
Eyes are very suggestive. They prompt
the inquiry whether that vitality which
bias done 20 much to give remarkable
wings, bones and lungs, AS well a. keen
vision TO the eagle; which imparts fins
and tail to the fish for swimming; and
enables man by his electric batteries and
wires to talk understandingly with his
brothers of the globe may not continue
tn grow, and do infinitely more for ex.
allied manhood on earth, in the infinite
future? There is unmistakabe evidence
that life has been progressive on this
planet millions OF years; and all know
that the end is not yet, and may not
come for millions of years.

Malarin and Vegetation.

Gen, Egbert j. Nielc read a paper
before the New York academy Of science,
last Monday night, which is OF great
scientific interest, The subject discussed
was the relations between malaria and
vegetation, and in laying the foundation
for this the consideration Of the relations
existing between the animal and vege
table kingdoms in the lower forms OF
organic life, The solution Of the causes
of disease, especially malarial diseases,
Cen NirIe believes will be found in the
parallel lines Of cellular development in
pIant life, where the animal and vegeta'
be are almost Identical, passing IN some
instances from the one kingdom INTO inc
other with the facility OF mere chahSc
OF garment.
I'm the ascending scale OF the great line
of dcmarcation which first develops It,
self i the all important fact that the
rnGIse of the one is the life Of the other,
This led him to infer that somewhere in
this border line between these two great
kingdoms Of nature there must be Just
equilibrium Of the normal elements OF
vitality, the destruction OF which may
be the true cause Of most OF the evils
which have been entailyd upon our
existence. In great cities, he said, the
surroundings Of nature are removed and
the equilibrium Of the natural forces is
destroyed. by the prcpondcrancc OF
animal life.
Malaria, he said, signifies bad air,
while miasma has been more sharply
defined u infection floating in air; but
no definition, however full or precise,
can give anything like an adequate con
copton Of the wonderful potentiaIity and
universal presence of the morbiiic prin-
chile which is known ~ malaria, Mas
matte or malarial diseases include all
those specific disorders which are
contagiously or which may become cpl
dcmic, and TO these are due nearly three
fths Of all the deaths which take place
throughout the world. Alter referring
to the fact that the physical health OF
all human beings improves III the
atmosphere Of the country where vcgcta-
ton nourishcs, Gen. Niec spoke OF Prof,

PARTICLES OF the air are vital organism

THE HORRORS OF WAR.



In 1871 the opposing Russian and
Turkish armies stood facing each other

Russians TO spot some three miles be-

Russians TO drive this small body back

guns were assembled on the northern

and drive back the Russian army, which
had fallen back into an intrcnched posi-
ton, was, however, repulscd the Turks
themselves being obliged after a time to
construct intrcnChments TO Withstand
the counter attacks directed against
them. Unable to drive back the invad-
ing force, the Russians desisted from any
further active measures against it, but,
bringing strong hotilIa Of gunboats up
the Danube, to prevent supplies being
carried across the river into the Turkish
camp on the left bank, they quietly
awaited events. The provision Of the
Turkish force, thus completely isolated,

Whiting Strangers out Of Mormondom.

\ duty assigned to the police was to
watch all strangers that came into the
city, and white every suspicious person
out of town. This whiting process was
peculiar. Some ten or fifteen Mormons
would get around the man they wanted
to drive away, each with keen ground
butcher knife, and a piece of soft wood
in his hand. They would crowd close up
to him and commence whiting, all cut

worked they are worked now, unless ar

mines of the Andes have been worked
for three centuries. Those OF old Spain
from the middle ages, and are in working
condition now. Ia Hungary the same
mines worked by the Romans before the
birth of Christ still yield their steady
increase. Those OF Freiberg in Saxony,
worked from the eleventh century, know
no dimunition. In Bohemia, Tyrol,
