An enormous decrease of the number of
skylarks in Scotland and northern England
has been complained of recently. Mr.. Ed
wards, a Scotch naturalist, has published
an essay in which he attempts to disprove
the popular theory that starings or meadow
larks cause the mischief by breaking the
eggs in the nest and by killing the young.
That the bill of the stailing is capable OF
destroying the egg he admits, but he ridl-
cules the idea of its destroying the young,
and he does not believe that the starlings
are to blame. He attributes the evil chiefly
to the increase in cattle and the taking in
Of waste ground for agricultural purposes.
'.As rule" he says, ''larks do not breed
among hay, corn or barley. For one nest
| have known in such places, have, may
safely say, found dozen In meadows, on
pasture lands and on waste ground. Now,
for one COW or OK that there were years
ago, there are about a score at present.
Is it not possible that the great increase OF
these animals may have something to do
with the decrease of the lark by trampling
ON their nests or maltreating them? |
have myself, while searching in clover
fields for moths and in grazing grounds for
beetles, come across numbers in recent
years so destroyed. Pheasants, partridges
and other ground breeding birds also suffer
severely. Besides, we have cattle and
sheep now, but more particularly the latter,
put into woods and plantations to eat down
the herbage there In conclusion, MIR.
Edwards protests very earnestly against
the destruction of birds nests and the trap
ping of song birds by men and boys, by
which thousands OF birds are destroyed
every year.

A Test of Building Stones.

DR.. Cutting. the State Geologist of Yer
mont, has concluded the unique series of
tests of the fre-resisting qualities OF building
stones. He declares, in substance, that no
known natural stone deserves the name OF
fire. proof. Conglomerates and states have
mo capability" of standing heat; granite
is injured beyond cheap or easy repair by
even so mild heat as that which melts
lead; sandstone, including the variety called
brown-stone, are better, and limestones are
perhaps the best In this respect. But even
they are injured by continuous heat of 900
deg, and at l, 200 are changed into quick
lime. Therefore it would seem that no
store buildings are fire-proof, and some of
them, DIR. Cutting even says, are as much
damaged by fire, as wooden structures are.
Brick, on tho contrary, isusually uninJured
aud is often rather improved by heat until
it is melted. But as most buildings are
trimmed with iron or stone, the damage is
often considerable, even when the walls
stand. To avoid this DIR. Cutting recon-
mends soap-stone trimmings, which are
open only to the objection of expense. But
although brick stands heat so well, it isOb-
jectionable because its power to resist pres
sure, without crumbling from dampness or
frost, Is less than that of stone. Neverthe-
less, as brick is in fact only kind Of artI-
fetal stone, the search for an ideal building
material is not hopeless, but it must he
prosecuted rather by the maker than by the
quarter Of stone.

An Appeal to Honor.

Several weeks since prisoner was re-

who seemed determined to have his own
way at every cost. In twenty-four hours
he was in disgrace for obstreperous con-
duct, and he was no sooner out OF one
scrape than .he got himself into another.
He was locked up, tied up and punished
In different ways, and the other day when
he committed some new breach of disci-
pline the deputy called him into the office
in despair, and began:
''John, how long have you been here2"
''Two months"

Growth of the Hair.

There are three reasons why wonl
hair is longer than mems. First, sh
no hair growth on her face, and so has a
larger supply of hair-forming material for
the scalp; second, the diameter of her hair
being larger, it is less liable 10 break third.
being usually less engaged in mental labor
or business worry, she has more constant
and even supply of blood to the scalp. In
nations where the HAIR of the men is usually
worn short, the fashion, of long hair in the
male is regarded as protest against church
and state, and against general customs,
taste and thought; in Austria it is made
political offense to be SO attired. The
growth of the hair is the most rapid in the
young and middle aged, and in those Iv-
ing an outdoor life. At the age of eighty,
if a man lives so long, and if his hair and
beard have been close trimmed, he has cut
off six and half inches of hair annually,
or about thirty feet In all. The hair is the
least destructlbIe part of the body. The
hair of the ancient Thebans is, after lapse
of 4, 900 years, found to nave survived the
tombs. The Pyramids and the Sphynx
are crumbling, but some of the wigs of
human hair, exposed to the mold and mois-
ture of their entombed apartments, are less
decayed than the monuments themselves.
There are three coloring pigments to the
hair-yellow, red and black, and all the
shades are produced by the mixture of
these three colors. In pure gold yellow
hair there Is only the yellow pigment; in
red, the red mixed with yellow; IN dark,
the black mixed with red and yellow; in
the hair of the negro there is as much red
pigment as in the reddest hair, and had not
the black been most developed-perhaps
by the action of the sun-the HAIR of all
negroes would be as fiery red as the red
dest haii of an Englishman.

Antipathies.

Certain anipathies appear to depend
upon a peculiarity of the senses. The
horror inspired by the odor of certain flow
ers may be referred to this cause. Amatus
Lusitanus relates the case of monk who
tainted when he beheld a rose, and never
quilted his cell when the flower was bloom
ing. Scaliger mentions one Of his relations
who experienced similar horror when
seeing lily. In these instances it is not
the agreeable ness or the offensive nature of
the aroma that inspires the repugnance,
and Montaigne remarked on this subject
that there were men who dreaded an apple
more than a musket-ball. zimmerman
tells of a lady who could not endure the
feeling of silk and satin, and shuddered
when touching the velvet skin of peach.
Boyle records the case of man who felt a
natural adherence 10 honey. Without his
knowledge some honey was introduced III
plaster applied to his foot and the acci-
dert that resulted compelled his attendants
to withdraw it. A young man was known
to whenever he heard the servant sweep
ing. Hippocrates mentions one NicanOr
who swooned whenever he heard flute.
Shakespeare has alluded TO the effects of the
bagpIpe. Julia, daughter of Frederick,
king of Naples, could not taste meat with
out serious accidents. Boyle tainted when
he heard the splashing of water; Scaliger
turned pale at the sight of water-cresses; !;
Erasmus experienced febrile symptoms
when smelling fish; the Duke dEpernon
swOoned on beholding a leveret, although
a hare did not produce the same effect.
Tycho Brahe tainted at the sight of a fox,
Henry the Third of France at that of a
cat, and Marshal d'Albert at a pig. The
horror that whole families entertain Of
cheese is generally known. Many individ-
uals cannot digest or even retain certain
substances, such as rice, wine, various
fruits and vegetables.
