very handsome pagodas of spun sugar. In the

handsome, and the pates which stood next to
the pagodas were models Of artistic skill. The

1t is held by Mons. p. de Tchihat-
chef that the great deserts of Asia and
Africa are not recently raised seabeds,

causes, instead of showing a marine
origin. The Asiatic deserts are much
older than the Sahara.
Herr Craner has made some expert
ments on the nutrition of man in his
sixty-fourth year who had practised
vegetarianism since he was eleven. he
finds that a strictly vegetable diet may
maintain the bodily and mental func-
tions, but it only suffiees to prolong life
when the quantity of vegetables is re-
duced by the introduction Of animal al
bumen in the form of milk and eggs.
He recommends the: less bulky mixed
diet as the more practical and economi-
cal food for man.

In a recent paper, DR.. Drysdale, OF
London, showed that it could no longer
be a matter of doubt that humanized
lymph should be entirely abandoned in
favor Of calf lymph as has been done in

animal lymph was perfect preserva-
tive against smallpox, but the lpmph
taken from human subjects very often
fails to protect.

An Ancient City.

The discovery of deserted ciA1, six
ty mixty miles long, cut out e the
rocky face of a winding cliff, rewarded
the efforts of the Stevenson Smith
sonian institution exploring party dur,
ing the researches in New Mexico and
Arizona the past season. This is by far
the most important find yet made
among the ancient cliff-dwellers. Some
of the houses contain five or six dwell
ings, one onsDop of the other, and in the
plateau above the cliff were found
many ruins of temples of worship
built of well-cut, square stones. A
comparison of the collections of pottery
and implements gathered in the cliff
houses by the exploring party with
those obtained in the Pueblo villages,
strengthens the theory that Pueblo In
dians are the degenerate decendents OF
the once powerful race that built the
ruined cities of the plains and then re-
treating before some warlike foe carved
out these singular dwellings on the
sheer walls of dizzy precipices, and
found in them. it may be for centuries
both fortreses and homes.
