Terrible Summer IN Tunis,

Mr.. Geo. II. Heap, the United States
consul at Tunis, has forwarded to Prof.
Baird, 1T the Smithsonian Institute, an
interesting letter in regard to the eli
mate there. The letter says: "Heat of
an unparalleled intensity has prevailed
in this region since the middle Of. July.
It was greater in the interior than inithe
city of Tunis, or at the sea shore Of
Carthage, where q sea breeze prevails
from midday to sunset. To give you
some idea of the temperature, I will state
that on the line of railroad in course of
construction from Tunis westward to
Begin, at q distance Of 20 to 40 miles
from the sea, the mercury rose almost 81
degrees Cent. (125. degrees Fahrenheit)
in the stone hutsl occupied by the work
ingmen, and tor IS degrees Cent. (132 8
degrees Fahrenheit) ii the wooden ones.
The men could not handle the metals
with their naked hands. 1t is singular
that there were no cases of actual sun
stroke, though many were rendered i'll,
and the director of the road, who gave
me this statement, and who was Obliged
to spend several days on the line, though
returning to Tunis at night, was in q
deplorable condition. The immunity of
the workingmen exposed to this terrible
heat, from congestion Of the brain, may
Be accounted for BY their abstinence
from. spirituouss drinks and ice water.
Most Of them are Arabs who never
touch wine or fermented hquofs, and

How Birds Fly.

You will find, if you carefully exam:
inc birds wing, that all the bones and
muscles are placed along the front edge,
which is thus made very stiff and strong.
The quill feathers are fastened in such a
way that they point backward, SO that
the hind edge of the wing is not stiff like
the front edge, but it is flexible and
bends at the least touch. AS the air is
not solid, but gas, it has tendency
to slide out from under the wing when
this is driven downward, and of course it
will do this at the point where it can
escape most easily. Since the front
edge of the wing is stiff and strong, it
retains its hollow shape, and prevents
the air from sliding out in this direction,
but the pressure of the air is enough to
bend up the thin, flexible ends of the
feathers at the hinder border of the
wing, so that the air makes its escape
there and slides out backward and up
ward. The weight of the bird is at all
time pulling it down to the earth; SO, at
the same time that the air slides out up.
ward and backward past the bent edge
of the wing, the wing itself, and with it
the bird slides forward and downward
off from the confined air. It is really
it's weight which causes it to do this, &c
that the statement that bird flies by its
weight is strictly true.-&. Nicholas to'

A Goose Story from Maine.

The following astounding story is told
by the Brunswick (Maine) Telegraph:
"Some years ago part of flock of
geese owned in this town were sold and
taken on board vessel bound outward,
to serve as cabin '6xings' for the cap:
tain. After the ship had sailed out Of
sight of land, one Of the geese escaped
and few. overheard. Some days after.
ward-be the time more or less-this
identical goose appeared in its old
haunts; but it did not long remain, as
the owner had disposed of the remain
der of the flock, which had been sent
several miles away. Goose put out on q
prospecting tour and kept it up until 1t
found, within a few hours, its Ola com
panions, and then there was such cack-
ling, laughing, and chatter1ng among
the utter astonishment of the then own
er, who hadn't fully imbibed the spirit
of his flock" -. -. 7A,.---- +a-s' -

A Holland Milkmaid.

In Holland the milkmaid is accom-
panied by boy, who tows a little boat
along the canal, and the maid with her
full blue petticoat and her: pink jacket
walks beside him. Arriving at the pas
turage she brings from the boat her cop
per milk pals as bright as gold, and with
her little stool on the grass and begins to
milk. The boy, having moored his boat,
stands beside her with the special pail
which is to hold the last pint from each
COW; the creamy pint, which comes Last,
because it has risen to the top in the
udder. Not drop is left to turn sour
and fret the COW. The boy fetches aud
carries the pals. The: girl milks the

Poor Camel.

No one ever did the camel justice ex.
cept one man-Charles Dudley Warner.
Here is the photograph:
No human royal family dare be uglie1
than the camel. He is mass of bones
faded tufts, humps, Jumps, splay
joints and callosities. His tail is ridi'
culous wisp, and failure as an ornament
or Ay-brush. His feet are simply big
sponges. For skin covering he ha!
patches of old buffalo robes, faded and
with the hair worn off: His voice il
more disagreeable than his appearance
With a reputation for patience, he il
snappish and vindictive. His endurance
is overrated; that is to say, he dies like
a sheep if he is not well fed. His gait
racks muscles like the ague. And yet
this ungainly creature carries his head
in the air and regards the world out Of
his great brown eyes with disdain. The
very poise of his head says: II have
come out of the dim past; the deluge
did not touch me; helped Shotoo build
the great pyramid; I knew Egypt whe1
it hadn't an obelisk nor temple. There
are three of us: the date-palm, the pyr
amid and myself: Everything else il
modern. Go to!

Italians, who are almost as abstemious.
These facts may possess certain inter
est in viewof the heat wave which has
recently passed over the United States
and occasioned 30 much suffering and
loss of life. 1t would appear that heat
of l25 degrees to 100 degrees in the
shade is less fatal in it's effect in this re-
gion than SO degrees to 105 degrees in
the United States. During the period
of high temperature, the thermometer in
the city of Tunis generally rose to ITO
degrees in the shade, and to about 100
degrees at the sea shore.

IT is but few years since the idea of
bridging the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers was held to be both impracticable
and undesirable, and as contemplating
an Infringement on the rights of navi-
CATION. There have been built since
1855 no less than eleven bridges across
the father of waters between Winona
and St. Louis. Ten are on piers and
one is a pontoon bridge. The longest
are at Winona and Quincy, $50 feet
each.

THERE are great number of ex-con-
federates in London. They manage to
pick up living in all sorts of ways.
One, an ex-general, is curb-stone stock
broker; another is q life insurance agent;
a third is brimful of hope and large ex-
pectations, living on scanty income
derived from "patent agency" Men
of lesser grades appear in varied callings
One does thriving trade in the hard
ware line, another in the "hard up
line. Several are literary and dramatic
agents. " - =
