Between thy lite and mine
Puoged and stormy, resstless barriers rise;
Dav after day they show q sterner front
Upiited TO the skies,
Shutting me from thee.
or times there comes a binding mist and rain,
But the darkest, thickest cloud know
The sun will shine again
Between thy life and mine
Snllen and cold turbid waters roll;
Beneath their angry waves hopes bark was
wrecked
Long ereit reachedits goal.
Yet IN the quiet deep
Eaith 'sanchor holds fast with its golden chain
Binding two hearts that else would drift away
Upon sea OF pain
Between thy life and mine
Stretches altar wide and dreary plain,
Across the waste we gaze with longing eyes,
Heart cries to heart-in vain;
The echoes answer ack
In vain III vain; and so we turn away
With one long, shiyering sigh OF agony,
In loneliness TO stray
Between thy life and mine
The hand of fate has woven some bright
threads,
With one entering radiance thro' these shad-
owed days
A steadfast iustrc sheds.
Parted though we must be,
These eouen tibres Snail our hearts entwlne,
The sweetness OF unspoken sympathy
Blending thy life and mine.

A TREE THAT RAINS.

The Consul Of the United States Of
Columbia i'll the Department of Lere-
to. Peru, has recently called the atten-
ton Of President Prado to remarka-
BILE tree which exists in the forests
adjoining the village Of Moyobamba.
This tree, known to the natives as
Tamai-Caspi Grain stree). is about SO
feet in height at full growth, and the
diameter Of its trunk is about 80 inch
es. 1t absorbs and condenses the
moisture in the atmosphere with as
tonishing energy, and it is said that
water constantly exudes from its
trunk and falls like rain from its
branches. So abundant is the water
supply that the soil near by is turned
into marsh. The tree gives forth
most water when the rivers are dry
during the summer season, and Whel
water generally is scarce. Its cult

arid regions of Peru.

cavities. No ton has been petrified,
and here and there a root. Many
have been charred by fire. Some are
broken after petrification had taken
place, as there is no mark OF splinter
ing or bruising. What must have
been the giant force that followed
their first destruction to have dealt
this further blow? The majority OF
the trees are redwood. some the man
drone, and the limb of an oak has also
been found. One of the first named
is eleven feet in diameter. and the
part Of the trunk still preserved IS
sixty-eight feet in length. Another
shows marks Of having been hacked
with an AK probably made OF obsldlan,
as all the prehistoric implements from
this locality were made of this same
substance volcanic rock, which APP

is no mistaking the fact that the cut

SULPHUR FOR SCARLET FEVER

Dr.. Henry Pigeon writes to the

the epidermis on the arms IN each

Thoroughly anoint the patient twice

or ten grains of sulphur in a little jam
three times day. Sufficient sulphur
was burned, twice daily on Ton Goals

mode of treatment each case improved

SCIENCE At THE BRITISH fSSOCIh
TON,

Mr.. Francis Cation discussed the
ideal criminal, in whom he detects
three peculiarities Of character; his
conscience is almost deficient, his in
stincts are vicious. and his power of
self control is very weak. BY the eX-
animation Of many THOUSAND photo
graphs of criminals, he was enabled,
by their physiognomic characteristics.
to divide them into three Well-marked
groups, respectively, of perpetrators
of murder, an-slaughter, and burgla-
ries, perpetrators of felonies and for
geries, and perpetrators OF sexual
crimes; and in this way he was enabled
to examine how far the peculiarities
first mentioned above may be correla-
ted with physical features. The his
tory of the famous Jukes family OF
criminals was brought forward, tc
show what extremely important topics
may be open to inquiry in a single
branch of anthropological research,
and the general amount pointed to the
necessity Of more accurately obtain
ing explanation of the conditions un

the human race deteriorates or i'm

prospect the object. Upon arriving
at the place, he found it to be the bed
of dry lagoon with the appearance
of having been dry for centuries.
Walking cautiously over the place, he
found the suface to be soft and clayey.
and often sunk ankle deep. After an
examination of the curious clayey de-
post he put several handfuls into his
pockets, mounted his horse, and re-
turned across the mountains to his
home in Columbus. There he handed
the contents of his pockets to an as
saver. who. after analysis, pronounced
it the richest sample Of boraX he had
ever seen. This fact at once created
great excitement and no little eX-
pense attended the necessary claiming

be an enormous lagoon or deposit OF

whole deposit was their property, and
it's wealth being developed. They at
once obtained boilers, tanks, crystall-

that, in the course of three or four
years, the brothers have perfected an

will continue inexhaustible. This
