A Curious insect,

''Don't catch that bumble-bee in your
fngers-it will sting you," said a by
stander to dentist with scientific pro-
clivities who resides in the country.
g Not bit of danger" said the doctor;
Fthe fact Is that fellow is not bee at
all, only a fly made to resemble the
bumble-bee very closely, but differing
therefrom In some point easily detected
by any one with a slight knowledge of
insects. He is very formidable fellow
among the smaller insects, devouring
great numbers of them, but altogether
incapable of injury to man. In fact he
is one of the beneficial kind, because he
destroys whole hecatombs of insects dur
ing his short lifetime. You see handle
it without injury. It is born fraud,
made to represent bu1nble-bee for two
reasons: because it's victims do not ex-
pect to be eaten by the honey-loving
bumble-bees, and its enemies are fright
ened away by fear of the terrible bust
ness end of that insect. There are many
such cases of mimicry in theinsect world
Lit belongs to the genus l09ohira. %
:" How do you distinguish them from
bees % Easy enough. Bees have al
ways four wings. This fellow, you see,
has only two. That gives him away.
He Is a fly sure to the few who know
that, but terrible bumble-bee to all the
rest !"

more in disfavor among the physicians of
Germany. In his address before the late
surgeons congress in Berlin, on the tox-
ic effect of these carbollc acid dressings,
DR.. Kuester stated that with the last
three years he had seen five cases OF such
poisoning, four of them terminating ia
tally. He expressed his belief that from
the uncertainty of the symptoms shown
in such cases, many might have been
mistaken as cases of collapse or shock.
Prof. Kmnig, of Gottengin, who at the
same congress advocated permanent ir-
rigation in all cases of an already estab-
lshed sepsis of wounds, recommends ex-
clusively solution of salicylic instead of
carbolic acid. In the late report of the
Berlin University Surgical Clinique, is an
account of the death of child three
wears old, from acute carbollsm after
the application of carbolic anti-septic
dressings, consequent upon as asteoto-
my on the leg.
BLOOD CORPUsCLES IN DIPHTHERIA.
Professor Bouchut, it is stated, made
daily enumerations of the blood corpus
cles in all the cases of diphtheria that
came under his observation within pc
Rod of six months, the number of an
alyses amounting to177. He concludes,
from the results obtained, that in severe
or malignant diphtheria, there is always
an increase of the white corpuscles of
the blood, this increase continuing as the
disease progresses, and diminishing when
convalescences sets in; on the other
hand, in the mild cases of diphtheria,
there is no increase of the white corpus
Giles and the children always recover. In
twenty-four cases studied day by day
through the whole course of the disease,
the number of white glob11les varied be-
tween 5000 and 10000 and 100, 900 in
the others, the average being 26, 1874
Prof. Bouchut urges the necessity of
daily examinations of the blood, as the
white globules may, In their number, be
normal in one day and greatly increased
in the next.
NEW GOLD WINNER.
A new style of gold-saving machine
has been introduced, the machine bear
ing some resemblance to a mammoth
smoking pipe-the stem being an up
right cast iron tube, about five inches in
diameter, which connects at the bottom
with another hollow upright casting,
about twelve inches diameter, this rising
alongside of the stem to about one-ffth
of it's height; inside of this bowl is an
iron framework with both upright and
horizontal fanges, which is worked by a
rachel leverage, and keeps the quartz
sand and quicksilver in motion. The
machine is charged with six TASKS of
quicksilver, which amount causes the
latter to rise to the height of some fif-
teen inches in both the hollow stem and
bowl. The quartz tailings are conducted
into the stem or column at the top by a
funnel, and, from the stirring motion
given to the quicksilver by the frame
work and fanges, the sands pass down
through the quicksilver in the stem, and
up through that in the bowl, and then
discharge to waste.

A SUMNER DAY.

The flowers lay sleeping beneath the dew
But the Mother had watched the whole nigh
through.
The wild sweet carol of one small bird
Was the sound that the weary watcher heard.
And the Summer dawn grew into the Morn.
But still she sat weeping beside her hrst-born.
Life was fading from cheek and brow,
And the Mothers heart was hopeless now.
Not one sound in the chamber of death
Was heard-save the NIaiden's laboring breath;
No word of murmur the Mother spake;
Silent and calm are the hearts that break.
Morning passed and the Noon so still
Bathed in warm loneliness wood and hill.
Slumbrous airs from the West went by,
And the Mother watched for her child to die.
Afternoon came and the Maiden lay
Iifeless and soulless-a mold of clay!
Rain came down as from eyes that wept,
Watching was over-the Maiden slept,
Through the quiet falling of evening rain
The birds soft carol stole in again
Then the Mother said s'Tis message for me,
To tell me. o child, that tits well with theel"
And the Summer day ended, for ''late or long,
Every day weareth to even-song."

A MONKEY at Gait, Ont, was troubled
with an aching tooth. With all the in
genuity of a small boy it tied one end of
a string around the offending molar and
secured an excellent leverage by attach
ing the other end to one of it's hind toes.
There was sudden jerk and the tooth
left the socket with velocity which car
ried it across the room.

Transporting Ships by Hstl,

Captain J. B. Eads appeared bsfore
the committee on the interocea mic canal
on Saturday and continued his argu-
ment in support Of his plan of an inter
oceanic ship railroad. He said there
was no doubt in the world as TO the
practicability Of ship sustaining her
own weight and the weight Of her cargo
unsupported by the surrounding water
and there was no doubt that a ship
oould be loaded and carried across a
railroad without injury. Captain Eads
explained that If 1900 wheels were
placed under the car 100 to each rail,
the strain upon the track would be
comparatively slight. The wheels
would DO independent OF each other
and the speed would bs about ton miles
an hour.
Regarding the route proposed he
said 1t was possible that q grade Of not
over 30 feet TO the mile could be found
at Panama. 50 feet to the mile was
practicable at Tehauntepee, and he was
satisfied that less than that could be
obtained at Nicaragua. II was hard to
tell which would be the preferable
route without making further examin-
atoms. He did not believe that De-
Lesssps could construct his canal for
less than three hundred and fifty mil
lions. The railroad cost would depend
largely on the cost Of making good hsr-
bors. The maximum cost, Including
harbors, he thought would be afty
millions. The work could be done in
four years.
