Effect of Pressure on Life.

M. Regnard. a French physiologis,,
has made some very interesting es.-
pe:iments on the effects on life of a
high water-pressure. The experiments
were carried out by means of a watcr.-
press of NM. Cailletet and Ducreless,
giving a pressure of 1000 atmospheric
= that is to saysuch a pressure as would
exist at a point 10000 metres below tile
surface OF the sea.
Yeast subjected to this pressure for
an hour fell into q state Of sleep .5r
latent life, and on being withdrawn
from the press it was only after an hour
that active life returned and the yeast
operated as a ferment. Vegetable
aIg e and seeds OF the garden cress also
fell into sleep, and only recovered
slowly. The same may be said OF
leeches at a pressure of 600 atm IS
pheres, mollusks, and infusoria. The
ieeches, indeed, only awoke some hours
afterward.
Fishes deprived of their swimming
bladders were submitted to a presslire
Of 100 atmospheres with impunity; at
200 atmospheres they fell into the same
sleepy state, but quickly recovered; at
80 atmospheres they died; at 400 they
became rigid, and remained so even
when putrefaction set in. This rigidity
was accompanied by increase of weight,
as was proved by liking and weighing
the limbs Of frogs.

Our Girls.

There has been so much talk lately
of s'higher education,'' so much discus
sion of the question whether or not oul
young women are having all the ad-
MANAGES which they can make use of,
that one would naturally think the fe-
males Of our time were favored and
cared for beyond all complaint.
But alas! if the wisdom, the modesty,
the %gentleness, the womanliness of the
''coming woman" are to be judged and
measured by the character of the pres
ent girl-thcn have we fallen upon sad
days, indeed!
The question has forced itself upon
my mind again and again in these
times OF liberal education, Of excellent
schools. of wide knowledge and album
dant literature,--Wha is done for Our
girls?
That there is agreat lack somewhere,
no one can fail to see who notices care
fully that large portion Of every cosa-
munity-the school girls, who from the
age OF twelve to that Of sixteen, throng
the streets of the city, and the prone
nades OF our summer resorts. Does ed
ucation reach them all with it's beauti-
full, civiliz1ng touch? THERE'S scarcely
a difference, in respect to education $50
called, between the petted girl of
wealthy parents, who attends a s'pri-
vate" educational establishment, and
the poorest child. whose name is upon
the ''roll' of any OF II public schools.
All are equally well taught. 10 rich
and poor alike the pages lie freely

The Drought in Australia.

On n occasion | was driving along
with the manager OF neighboring run,
and we came upon a dangerous quag-
mire. In it there lay four hundred dead
COWS and bullocks that had been fatally
begged. My friend observing one beast
hopelessly fast in the mud, descended
from the buggy and, taking out his
pocket-knife, he in mercy ''pithcd" the
forming me that he had been doing
months daily. Four thousand head of
cattle on that station. it is said, have
succumbed during the recent drought.
Although instances OF cattle getting
begged are not uncommon, yet ut such
times as these droughts they are 80 ire
quent that it is impossible to rescue a
1.-THE of the cattle so caught. ana they
must be left to their fate. The usual
mode Of pulling them out is to do so
with a team of working bullocks, but
in these periods Of famine the working
cattle are themselves too weak for su Ii
work, and therefore the sticky
water-holes become most otlen-
sive pits of putrid animals, the
water becoming almost undrjnkable,
and to some extent hurtful, i. no ao-
tually poisonous, to the stock that 60
thither to water. At such water-holes
in the sheep paddocks enormous
losses take place. l have seen dozens
OF live sheep at II time sticking as
fast as if they were glued therein, and
unless persons are specially SGT to
watch such dangerous spots, sheep die
there in hundreds. Many q poor,
begged sheep OF lamb have L pulled
out, and liz not a few instances have |
been obliged in mercy to pith them,
after having eNtr Gated them, be-
cause in some eases they Lad be-
come S o weak as to be unable to
nov away from the place. and
would there die a lingering death, or
become the prey OF the row that
hover around the water and attack both
cnttle and sheep when in distress.
The severe losses in sheep, horses and
cattle that have fallen upon the pastor
alists OF New South Wales and
Queensland in 1884 can as yet be
only guessed at. Many do not choose
to tell how heavily they have lost. 1t
is certain that never during any former
drought have so many animals faller,
and it may be safely stated that some
millions of sheep, some hundreds pf
thousands of cattle, and thousands
of horses have boen lost in The two
