Parcels by Mail.
Continent


The parcel feature, which has recent
" been added to the postal system in
Great Britain and Ireland, is an attempt
to perform in that country a service
which in this is done almost entirely by
the express system, the difference being
that the parcel arrangement does the
work great deal cheaper. Any pack
age not longer than three feet six inches,
and of no more than seven pounds
weight, if secured with cords, may be
sent by mail at a cost of six cents for
one pound, twelve cents for three pounds,
eighteen cents for five pounds, and
twenty-four cents for seve pounds. Pay
ment must be made in advance and by
stamps. The parcels, on arriving at
their destination in large towns, are
taken in vans and delivered at the door
of dwellings, or business houses, just as
express packages are in this country.
Regular mail matter has the prefer
ence over them in the delivery, but it is
thought when the system gets to work
ing smoothly the delivery will be almost
if not quite as prompt as with letters.
The system was very literally patronized
the first day it went into operation,
showing its adoption to the wants of the
people. Samples of goods, presents,
jars OF butter, conserves, eggs, groceries,
meat, vegetables and clothing were
among the articles sent. Boxes are be-
ing made expressly for the business, and
there is every prospect that it will in
crease till meat, eggs, provisions and
various articles of household supply will
be transmitted through the postal sys-
tenn directly to consumers. We have a
somewhat similar system in this country,
but the limit weight of parcels is four
pounds, and the charges are nearly four
times as great.-St. Louis Republican

Last Monday afternoon, while forcing
the water through the mains to clean
them out, the water in the reservoir was
pumped out below the tubing of the well.
and Engineer Adams says he was very
much alarmed over the fact that the
well had almost ceased to flow. He says
he stood watching it for several minutes,
but little water coming up, when all at
once it burst forth muddy stream
which flowed for a few minutes and then
became clear, and since then he is of
the opinion it is fowing] stronger than
ever.

palpable dust on marble table, or other
articles of furniture. Well. in one sin
gle gramme of such dust l 300 900 bae-
terra have been found. Another expert
ment made In the Rue Monge revealed
the presence of bacteria to the still more
fantastic figure Of 2,4O0,OOO in one
gramme of dust which had collected
upon furniture.
These bacteria are invisible germs
eggs, spores. It would require l 900, ,00C
OF them to form the thousandth part of a
milllgramme. Nevertheless they can be
easily studied under the microscope,
With magnifying power of 1900 diane
ters they appear nearly millimetre in
thickness.
Little as they are, these beings are by
no means inoffensive; for when we have
absorbed hundreds and thousands by
way of the respiratory mucous mem
brane. or the digestive organs, they give
us typhoid fever, or scarlatina, or small
pox, or diphtheria, etc., etc., each &C
cordIng to its kind. Tt is in the wards of
hospitals that those germs are found in
the greatest quantity. While the atmos
phere of a house in the most thickly set.
tied portions of Paris contains from
5000 to 1000 germs to the cubic metre of
air. the atmosphere of hospital wards
contains fran 1000 to 5000 germs per
metre. At the hospital of Da Pitie the
average is Ii 900 bacteria per metre. In
the confined air OF one room of the same
hospital, NJ. Miquet found the sadly elo-
quent number of 28,900 bacteria per
cubic metre.
Our water has been analyzed like our
air. 70 every litre of rain water M.
Miquet found 81 900 microbes, in Seine
water at Bercy, $4,000 per litre; in
Seine water at Asniers, 12,80O,00O per
lltre; and in sewer water at Clincy, 8O,-
0O0. 900 per litre.
After reading these figures it seems
wonderful that we dare to breath. or
drink, or eat. Pringle was right it must
be confessed when he uttered the
abhorism: "The air kills more people
than the sword"

Concerning an Odor Of Ants.

flies. These tentacles are not solid. as
they are generally supposed TO be; but
emit an offensive odor, and in this mar.
ner serve as organs of defense. In the
discussion which followed, the point was
made that there was no evidence that the
odors emitted were objection .ble to the
Insects enemies. That one odor was Oh
Jectlonable to man is no reason that it
should be Objectionable to other crea-
lures. There was, indeed, evidence that
some creatures reveled in what man de-
splsed. DR.. Joseph Leidy remarked
that the odors emitted by some insects.
and. as 1t is argued, for their defense, are
often very agreeable to man. He related
that when recently going through the
grounds of Mr.. Meehan, in Germantown.
he happened to notice O colony of ants
lLaslus fayus) just swarming. and.
wishing to examine them at leisure. swept
some with his hand from rock to tin
box. There was very grateful odor of
lemons emitted, instead of the peculiar
odor OF formic acid usual to ants. Mr..
Meehan observed to him that it was pre-
elsely the odor of species of Eucalyp-
tus, and they examined numerous spe
cies growing about fifty yards from the
nest, and found the ant odor to be so
precisely that of Eucalyptus capitella.a
that they ret1rned to the heap OF stone
to see if branch from the Eucalyptus
might not have been by some accident
broken from the plant and thrown there:
but it was found that the fragrant odor
really came from the insect. If an odor
to man is to be regarded as affordiue
