One Poisonous Lizard.

A paper recently presented before
the Philadelphia College of Physicians
stated that in response to inquiries two
letters had been received from Ari-
IONA, one of which described the lizard
as more peaceful and harmless than a
young missionary, while the other de-
clared it to be "worse then whole
apothecary shop" Recent experiments
made with captive specimens of the
Gila monster, however, seem to demon
strate satisfactorily it's poisonous ma.
ture. Small animals and birds were
killed by its bite. 1t has numerous
small teeth, and when it bites a guam
tity of saliva is discharged. This
saliva or fluid is found to be an active
poison of very peculiar nature. 1t
causes no local injury, but seems to
act directly upon the heart, arresting
its action in diastole. It's effect is en-
tirely different from that of the venom
of serpents, which causes local hemor-
rhage.

The Bad Boy and the Grocery Man,

"Say, do you think little practical
joke does any hurt ?" asked the bad boy
of the grocery man, as he come in with
his Sunday suit on and a bouquet in his
buttonhole, and pried off couple of
figs from anew box that had been Just
opened.
"No, sir" said the grocery man, as he
licked off the syrup that dripped from
a quart measure, from which he had
been filling jug. 81 hold that man
that gets mad at a practical joke, that is,
one that does not injure him, is fool,
and he ought to be Stunned by all de-
cent people. That's nice bouquet you
have in your cCat. What is it, pansies I
Let me smell of it," and the grocery
man bent over in front of the
boy to take a whiff at the bouquet.
AS he did so stream of water shot
out of the innocent-looking bouquet
and struck him full in the face, and
ran down over his shirt, and the gro
cery man yelled murder, and fell over
barrel of ax-helves, scythe snaths,
and then CROPPED around for a towel tC
wipe his face.
"You blamed little rascalw We led the
grocery man at the boy, as he took up
an ax-helve and started for him
"what kind of golblasted squirt gun
you got there? l will maui you by
thunder" and he rolled UP his shirt
sleeves.
"Tnere, keep your temper. took 3
test vote of you on the subject of prac-
tical Jokes before the machine began te
play upon the conhagration that was
raging on your whisky nose, and you
said man that would get mad at a
joke was fool, and now 1 know it.
Here, let me show it to you. There is
rubber hose runs from the bouquet,
inside my coat to my pants pocket,
and there is bulb of rubber that holds
about half a pint and when fellow
smells of the posy | squeeze the bulb,
and you see the result. It's fun where
you don't squirt it on person that gets
mad"
The grocery man said he would give
the boy half pound of figs if he would
lend the bouquet to him for half an
hour to play it on customer, and the
boy fixed it on the grocery man, and
turned the nozzle SO it would squirt
right back into the grocery mans face.
He tried it on the first customer that
came in and got it right in his own face
and then the bulb in his pants pocket got
to leaking and the rest of the water
ran down the grocery mans trousers
leg, and he gave it up in disgust. and
handed it back to the boy.-G. w. Peck.

Human race, {:
: And an honor TO his own, ::
: A Faithful Dog. ::

Goldsmith used to write and teach a
pet dog to sit on his launches, and Mr..
Stephens, wifeless and childless as he
was. lavished on his pet poodle all the
warm affections of his nature. The
first thing in in the morning he romped
with his dog. He slept in the same
room with his master, and when he
was sick the faithful brute never left
the room, save for a few moments, for
days and weeks together. The dog
accompanied his master all over the
State. When left behind he watched
the arrival of the trains at the depot,
going through all the cars in search Of
him.

Virgins storm.
The Notooje IPremid, of st. Peters.
burg, recently gave an outline of re-
markably drastic law which 1t is pro
posel to enact to lessen the evil of in
temperance in Russia. First it is pro-
posed that no clearinghouse shall be
allowed to be erected in the neighbor-
hood of factories and workshops; that
no selling of drink for consumption on
the premises shall be permitted except
in limited number of places in the
more public and general resorts; that
if drink is sold TO children and
minors. whether with or without their
parents consent, the public house at
which this was done shall be closed by
the police. Secondly, among the
clauses dealing with the customer,
therei is one which proposes that "every
incorrigible chronic drinker" shall
forfeit the rights of a father. His
children are to be taken away from
him and regarded as the children of
the state, by which they viii be placed
in some educational institute, where
the father will be prohibited from
interfering with them. In the case of
an incorrigibly drunken husband the
project suggests that the courts shall
be allowed to grant his wife, upon her
own appeal, a species of conditional
divorce, with guarantee of exclusive
right to her earnings. Similarly at
the request of husband whose wife
is an incorrigible drunkard, it is pro-
posed that he be freed from the obliga-
tion of maintaining her and living
with her. In neither case is this
separation to be counted as a legiti-
mate divorce, enabling the spouse of
the incorrigible tippler to contract
second union. We hear that the
special commission included large
number Of medical assessors.

was his constant companion for years,
was named "Rio," poodle dog. Upon
his death he was buried in the garden,

Water saturated with alum is recom-
mended by French scientist as
speedy and effectual remedy for ex-
tinguishing fires His proposition is
based on the theory that the alum
would coat the objects wetted with it,
intercept the access of atmospheric
oxygen and thus stay combustion.
The belief is common that during a
considerable fall a person must be as
phyXiated by the rapid rush through
the air, which constantly accelerates as
the distance fallen increases; but the
weight of scientific opinion seems to
favor the view that, if asphyxia ever
results during falls, the distance fallen
must be very great.
1t takes two hundred and fifty
bushels of potatoes to make ton of
potato starch. Its manufacture, which
is very simple, is as follows: After
being thoroughly washed and freed
from dirt the potatoes are reduced to
a pulp by means of a CRATER. The
pulp, placed in a sieve, is washed by
streams CT falling water, the starch be
ing carried through the sieve into Il
proper receptacle and the fiber washed
away as waste. The starch is carried
with the water passing through the
sieve into stirring-tank, in which it
is washed from the finer particles of
waste, and, being heavier than water,
sinks to the bottom. 1t is then fur
ther cleansed in other tanks by wash
ing and stirring, until the water is
clear and is drawn off. The starch is
then removed to a kiln, where it is
dried and rendered fit for market.
A correspondent of the London En-
gjneer makes curious suggestion ::
Men have not yet learned to fly
through space like birds but why
should they not take a hint from the
Engineer, and construct an aerial line
worked by electricity? Locomotives
are almost useless off the rails, and
aeronauts may be well content if they
learn. to fly along wires. The proiec-
tor would substitute for the unwield-
ly balloon light, stout plane, shaped
like a kite, balanced by car, and pro-
PEELED by a screw, driven at a good
speed by a dozen or more Trouve ma
chimes arranged in couples along the
propeller shaft. BY line of stout tel
egraph wire led on poles from Berlin to
Paris, or from Pekin to St. Petersburg
he would transmit 100-horse power
along the wire by powerful dynamos
at stations, say hundred miles apart,
which would be taken to the flying
plane by two light wires, having con-
tact carriages at the lower ends. The
wire would have to be strong to stand
the strain of heavy wind on the
buoyant kite, but it is much more
probable that men will learn TO fly
along wires before they are able to fly
alone promiscuously through the air.

According to Professor Langley sci
entific men are convinced that space is
not an utter void, but that it furnishes
the carbonic acid gas by means of
which plants and animals grow. 1t is
calculated that the earth has absorbed
the carbon of the atmosphere one hun
dred times over, and that its replen-
ishment comes from within the space
between the planets. Newton limited
a. this, but did not fully comprehend
it, two hundred years ago. Once in
thirty years the earth is Trecipitated
into meteor streams. These have been
identified with comets. These me-
teoric fragments, which undoubtedly
come from the head of comets, are
composed of real sandstone, like that
which holds the copper of Lake Su-
perior. 1t is manifest, therefore, that
these come from worlds not unlike
our own and that meteOrs and comets
are portions of demolished out-worn
worlds. This, if true. remarks the
Detroit Free Press, is what the inhab-
ltants Of the earth must look forward
