The camel, says writer, is the most
perfect machine on four legs that we
have any knowledge of A sacred
treasure, indeed, to the Arab is this
"pudding-footed pride of the desert"
The expression on the face of camel
is rather pathetic. His eyes are large
and LIQUID, and above them are deep
cavities large enough to hold hens
egg. The aquiline nose, with long,
slanting nostrils that he can close tightly
against the sand storms and hot, burning
winds of the desert, give very sorrow
full expression to the face The under
lip is pouting and puckering, and you
are not at all surprised when the poor
beast bursts into tears and cries long and
loud liked a veXed child.
The feet of the camel are Of very sin
gular construction, with tough, elastic
sole, soft and spongy as they fall noise
| lessly on the earth and spread out under
his tottering weight. This form of the
| foot prevents the animal from sinking in
the sand, and he is very sure footed on
all sorts OF ground.
The average rate of travel for o cara
van is between two and three miles al
hour; and the camel jogs on, hour after
hour, at the same pace, and seems to be
almost as fresh at night as in the morn
ing when he started on his travels. Tht
Arabans say of the camel: "Job's beas
is a monument of Gods mercy"
The camel sheds his hair regularly onct
a year, and carpets and tent-cloths are
made from it; it is also woven into cloth
Some of it is exceedingly fine and soft
though it is usually coarse and rough
and is used for making coats for tn
shepherds and camel-drivers; and huge
water bottles, leather sacks, also sandals
ropes and thongs are made Of its skin.

The Distribution of Fish.

One of the most marvellous and sue
cessful achievements of modern enter
prise is the introduction of new fish food
into the streams and lakes of the various
continents. The salmon of the Pacific
coast has been successfully introduced
into the streams of the east coast of
North America. The delicious shad of
our waters is now to be found in the sea-
going rivers of the Pacific coast Cali
fornia salmon were successfully intro
duced in 1877 into Australian rivers,
where that fine fish had never before been
seen. The restocking of streams with
fish is going on all over the world, and
will eventually increase the supply OF
fish food thousand fold. In England,
our American trout, black bass and
white fish have become natuTalized. while
the German carp, fast t-growing and
food-producing fish, is already widely
known in the United States. This coun
try leads the world in fish culture. Oul
experts do not despair of being able in
time to vastly increase the swarms of fish
on our sea-coast. 1t is known that from
time to time there is short supply ol
salt water fish, but experiments are now
being made with the spawn of cod, had
dock, sea bass, Spanish mackerel, and
other denizens of the ocean, which will
undoubtedly be successful. 1t is said
that an acre of water can be made tC
furnish many times the quantity of food
produced annually by an acre of land

Concerning Cork.

The cork tree belongs to the class of
oaks, and there are two trees, quercus
suber and quercus occiGentalis, that fIom
time to time shed their bark or outer coat
ing This coating is the cork of the
trade, but the bark shed by nature is not
marketable, because it does not contain
any sap, which is necessary to retain the
elasticity Cork for industrial purposes
is gained by peeling After tree is three
years old the peelingimay commence, but
cork of that age is of inferior quality and
the peeling would kill the tree. Trees of
twenty years give cork of fair quality,
and the quality increases until the tree
has gained the respectable age of 100 or
$50 years, when the bark becomes hard
and unwieldy. The circular incisions are
made around the trunk of the tree and
connected by perpendicular cuts, allow
ing the two half circles to be removed
Care must be taken not to disturb the
fiber or inner bark, which keeps the tree
alive.
The peeling process can be repeated on
the same tree at intervals of from eight
to ten years, yielding cork plates from
one to four inches in thickness. The
half-round cork pieces are pressed into
plates while still moist from the tree
then the rough coatings are removed and
the plates are immersed in boiling water
for several minutes and pressed again.
After that they are piled into bundles,
fastened by iron hoops, and are ready fol
the market The raw material will sell
from four to seventy cents per pound, &C.
cording to the quality and thickness, an6
is not subject to any import duty. Th,
full grown cork tree reaches hight o.
seventy set and diameter of five feet.
1t grows in the almost impenetraole for
ests of Spain, the southeastern part o.
France, and Algiers and Senegambia il
Africa. The quality of the cork depends
very much on the lay of the land, tha
exposed to the greatest heat being tn,
finest Each tree yields cork of two diff
ferent dimentions, the bark on the north
ern side of the tree being the finest
Experiments have been made to cult
vate the cork oak in Florida and Cali
fornia, but so far they have not resulted
in success. There is good prospect, how
ever, that cork of marketable qualit
may be obtained in the former State a

concluded to leave those Of his wife.
But he preferred his wife. The last
communication he had with his family
was when his cousin Frank, an Bdin-
burgh barrister, who had assumed the
surname Drummond in lieu of his patro-
nymic Davies, visited New York tive
years ago.
This gentleman offered to start young
Lord Drummond on cattle rancho in
Texas but his lordship did not care to
take his wife and baby away from the
haunts of civilization and he declined.
At another interview Lord Drummond
took umbrage at a remark of his barrister
cousin about his marriage, and losing
temper, consigned his respective relatives
to perdition. His violence was duly re-
ported by Barrister Frank on his return
to Drummond Castle, and the breach be-
tween the earl and his heir was Wild
ened.
As matters are il is probable that on
Lord Drummond's restoration to his
place in society, now near at hand, it
will be found that in his contact with
the world and his experience of poverty
and hard knocks he has acquired a free
dom Of manner and perfect savoir faire
under most diverse circumstances, which
will do more for his popularity than any
other amount of learning and conven-
tional refinement would be likely to.

The Man in the Moon Heard From

At the astronomical observatory of
Berlin, says a translation from Nya
PresSen HelsinGtor, discovery has lately
been made which, without doubt, will
cause the greatest sensation, not only
among the adopts in science, but even
among the most learned. Professor
Blendmann, in that city, has found, be-
yond a doubt, that our old friend, the
moon, is not amere lantern which kindly
furnishes light for the loving youth and
gas companies of our planet, but the
abode of living, intelligent beings, for
which he is prepared to furnish proofs
most convincing.
This question has agitated humanity
from time immemorial, and has been the
object of the greatest interest. But the
opinions have always differed very
widely, and no two minds held one and
the same. Already in ancient times the
belief prevailed that the moon was in
habited with some higher organized,
intelligent beings, somewhat resembling
man, and in order to communicate with
them the earthly enthusiasts planted
rows of trees several miles in length
so as to form the figure of the
L y
astronomer, Schroeder, in the beginhing
of the present century, fancied that he
could detect places on the surface
of the moon which periodically grew
lighter and darker, and from this fact
he derived the conclusion that the phe-
nomenon was ;Eproof of existing vegeta-
ton. During tEe last few decades, how
ever, the idea of life on the moon has
been held up to ridicule, and totally
scorned by men of learning. But never
theless, it has now been proved to be
correct.
BY accident Doctor Blendmann found
that the observations of the moon gave
but very unsatisfactory results, owing to
the intensity of the light power of the
moons atmosphere, which is that strong
that it affects the correctness of the OBJ
servations in very high degree. He
then conceived the idea to make the OBJ
| ject-glass of the refractor, less sensitive
| to the rays of light, and for that pur
| pose he darkened it with the smoke o.
camphor. 1t took months of expert
menting before he succeeded in finding
his right degree of obscurity of the glass
and when finally found he then with tn,
refractor rook a very accurate photo o.
the moons surface. This he placed in
sun microscope, which gave the pictur
a diameter of fifty-five and one-half feet
The revelation was most startling.
perfectly overturned all hitherto enter
tanned ideas of the moons surface. Thos
level plains which formerly were held t
be oceans of water proved to be verdan
fields, and what formerly was considere,
mountains turned out as deserts of san,
and oceans of water. Towns aud habita
tions of all kinds were plainly discern
able, as we'll as signs of industry an
traffic. The learned professors stud
and observations of old Luna will be rt
peated every full moon, when the SIX
is clear, and we venture to predict tina
the time is not far off when when W
shall know more about the man in tn
moon than as being an agent in Englis
politics.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL

The possibility of obtaining illuminate
ing gas in considerable quantities from
the droppings of COWS and horses has
been demonstrated to the French Aca-
DENY of Sciences by M. Gayot The
process does not lessen the value Of the
fertilizer.
The best way to ascertain whether
-four has been made from sprouted wheat
is to stir a sample up with water, filter,
and test with corallin solution, rendered
red with q trace of alkali If the flour is
acid it turns yellow. Methyl orange can
be used Litmus is less delicate in OBJ
tanning the reaction.
A factory has recently been erected in
China for the manufacture of sulphuric
acid on a large scale, and chemical studies
now form a regular part of the curriculum
at the imperial colleges. In translating
the textbooks many new characters had
to be invented to express the technical
terms and novel ideas of the new science.
More than 100 tons of human hair are
annually bought and sold. -Four ounces
is an average clipping from human
head; so that 100 tons represent the
product of from 800, 900 to 1000, 900
heads. In Europe the heads of female
criminals are shorn, and they supply a
large market, but the greater part is
bought by travelling peddlers. Between
the ages of fifteen and forty, woman
can grow about seven crops of hair.
Doctor Dudgeon, the famous homeop-
athist physician of London, recalls the
fact-apropos of Koch's investigations
into the nature of the cholera germ-that
Hahnemann in 1881 suggested that the
contagious matter of cholera consisted of
excessively minute, invisible living
creatures, and accordingly advised the
free use of camphor, which he held to
be potent cholera bacillicide-to the
efficacy of which treatment, adds Doctor
Dudgeon, the statistics of every epidemic
in Europe testify.
Hitherto it has puzzled eminent sur
geons to account for sudden death caused
by apparently inadequate wounds in the
heart, such as those made by the prick
without penetration even, of needle
Herr Schmey, q student of the physiolog
/ ical institute, Berlin, has, however, JUS
| discovered that when a needle pricks ;
certain small spot on the lower border o
the upper third of the septum cords
quite instantaneously the movements o
the heart are arrested and forever Sc
motionless in death. 'It is now the tasl
of anatomical investigation, says Pro
fessor Kronecker, who verified the dis
covery of his pupil, Herr Schmey, anC
communicated it to the physiological so
ciety of Berlin, ''to demonstrate wit
accuracy this vital center, the existenc
