Defenscs OF the Lower Amin ais.

Some of the niger animals illustrate
the manner in which nature contrives
to furnish special measures of precau-
ton for its little-gifted. unalert, I'M
armed, and hel pless creatures. The
absence of teeth in the edentates is Off
set by shields or Scale-armor; helpless
beetles are furnished with hard wing
cases; the pheasants, quails, and larks
of the fields are hidden from the keen
vision of birds of prey by their earthly
color, birds of the river and seashore
by their resemblance in color TO the
sand and shingle.
animals, chiefly against the weather
and against parasites and other external
enemies. Frequently the place of their
abode is their only and ordinarily
sufficient protection, as is the case with
earth worms and burrowing larvB,
wood worms and truit-borers. But
such animals appear to be afflicted with
particular enemies peculiarly fitted to
hunt them out in their otherwise secure
forlresses-in the shape of moles, mole
crickets, long-nosed hedge-hogs, shrew-
HIce, anu SWIFT, llooh-Dlilcu iapWlHPS,
and sharp-tongued woodpeckers. Ere
quently, also, each animal is defended
by some special relation peculiar to its
species. Insects, which in their com
paratively brief states of maturity are
secured by their powers of flight, have
to be guarded, in their three previous
condition of egg, larvae, and pupa,
against hosts of enemies TO which they
would otherwise be an easy prey and
palatable food. In the condition of
the apparently lifeless and really help
less egg, they are covered by their OBJ
security and littleness, or by being de-
posted in holes and cracks, or covered
with slime or hairy or silken wells and
cocoons, under which they escape all
but the sharpest search and rare acct
dents. -Popuiar Science Monthiy.

ured by stream of water flowing
through a spiral tube. The water,
passing at a moderate rate, is warmed
only few degrees even when the tube
is made very hot. The flow is kept at
constant rate, and the temperature
OF the furnace is calculated very accu-
rately from the increase it causes in
the waters heat, as indicated by an
ordinary thermometer. This water
pyrometer has proven very reliable in
measuring temperatures of 1000 de-
grees Fahrenheit and higher.
Mr.. S. n. Rhoads has given evidence
which proves that turkey-vultures are
directed to their prey from great distan-
ces by their sense of smell, and not by
sight alone. He partly uncovered a
spot where horse and cow had been
buried some years before, and in few
hours buzzards were attracted to the
place in great numbers. They must
have been guided by smell, and, as Mr..
Rhoads could detect no odor when d.
rectly over the burial-place, it is shown
that their smelling power is marvel
lousy delicate. Gosse relates an in
stance in which vultures circled round
a house in Jamaica where some spoiled
meat was hidden.
Several instances have been recorded
of probable injury to the brain as re-
suit of too little activity in some part OF
the body, and case of brain-wasting
arising from the amputation of limb
has recently been communicated to the
Paris academy of medicine by Mons.
Bourbon. A soldier, who lost his left
arm some forty years ago, lately died.
and post mortem examination showed
differences in the two sides of his brain
which indicated that one side had been
affected by the removal of the arm. To-
ward the close of the mans life his left
leg gradually became lame, in conse-
quence, it is supposed, of the injury
done to the brain.
DIR. j. j. Wild, +. Il. q. S., sums up
as follows the results of recent inyesti-
cations into the causes of the color OF
the sea, and of the apparent discolora-
ton of the sea-water in certain areas OF
the ocean: "The various tints of blue
and green which constitute what may
be called the proper color OF sea-water
are due to greater or less proportion
of salt held in solution, the color being
an intense blue when the water is very
salt, and changing by degrees to u
blue-green, and green color as the water
becomes more fresh. On the other
hand, the abnormally colored red, yell
low, brown and inky seas owe their
appearance to the accumulation of
large masses of sca-weeds from the
gigantic algae, which fringe the shores
of oceanic islands, to the microscopic
but almost as frequently the
is caused by myriads of
animal organisms collected in shoals
at the surface of the ocean"

ARE WE JOLLY.

While no doubt the Republican leaders
view with intense satisfaction the threat
ened diSagreements among the Democrats
on the tariff question, are they quite easy
themselves in that regard? We clip the
following from the New York He,uld'
Whatever the condition of democratic
opinion may be, it is quite certain that the
shrewdest of the republican managers do
not like to see their party dragged further
into the defense of high tariff, They
know that reform must come some day,
and they would like to keep the party in Il
position where ii could, if public sentiment
should veer in that direction, wheel the or
ganization quickly around in the direction
of tariff reform Hence a certain indispo-
sition to nominate extreme and pronounced
protectioniSts, like Mr. Blaine or Mr.. John
Sherman, whom such republican journals
as the New York Times, Chicago Tribune,
Cincinnati Commercial Gdzette and New
York EreRtng Post would find it difficult
to support while they would get the cold
shoulder from such Independent journals
as the Boston Herdld and Springfield Re
pUbltcaR,
On the other hand, the republican man
ayers dislike to nominate such candidate
ms Senator Edmunds or Senator Logan,
whose tariff opinions are so undecided or
so little known that the strong protectionist
tates-PennsyNania, New Jersey and
Ohio-might take alarm. The fashion of
late has been to laugh at the dilemma of
the poor democrats on the tariff question,
but the position of the republicans is no
better. They want TO hedge and they
do not yet quite know how.

RAISED wORSTED WORK.

Take stiff hairpin, bend the wires
near or far apart, according to how
large you want leaf, wind the xorsted
around the wires, the threads close,
continuing until you have it as long as
you want single leaf or part of a
flower. Lay this on your cloth, or
whatever you wish to put your work
on, and sew through the middle, catch
ing down each thread of worsted. Pull
out the hairpin and you have plain
leaf, or cut in the middle of each loop
on both sides, pick out until all stands
up round and trim with the scissors,
and you have dtferent-shaped leaf.
For rosebud wind shaded worsted,
the light at one end and dark at the
other; over this wind green, few
threads over the light, and thicker over
the dark, and you have shaded bud
with calyx outside. Vary shading and
size according to taste.

Marriage Permits.

IL think | can tell with tolerable
accuracy whether n marriage will be
happy or not simply by studying the
expressions of those who walk up to
the marriage-licensc desk, said a
middle-aged man who hangs around
the Cook County Clerks office in Chi
cago. Some countenances look wor-
ried and sad, as if their owners hadn't
quite made up their minds or were
about to do something against their
will. Others, and am happy to say
the ms jority, are so full OF Joy that
their faces fairly beam with it, their
eyes twinkle, their lips are pretty with
smiles ami beautiful pink blush
sutfuses their cheeks. This applies 10
both sexes.
How do the young men act? They
usually look very sheepish. They are
really the most diiiient applicants
that come here. II any one is near
they glance at him sideways, and seem
TO wish they were in some one else's
boots. In nine cases out OF ten they
forget the girl name or age, and they
often have to think while before they
can give their own. The middle-aged
are the most composed and
business like, but the widows are the
best posted of all, because they have
been there before. Old age totters and
filters, anu never more SO than when
a couple, whose aggregate age is l04
years, are preparing TO approach the
altar "

TennysOn Enraged.

Tennyson passes most of his days
at Farringford, surrounded by the love-
ly and romantic scenery for which the
Isle of Wight is noted. He spends on
an average six to eight hours day in
his library engaged in literary work.
Orders are always given that he shall
not be disturbed except for most mo-
mentous reasons, and he never is; for
the members OF his family and his SER
wants think his making of Il lige OF
quite rs much Importance rs the crea-
ton of new worId-an opinion which,
it is needless to say, he fully shares.
Perhaps if his wife-she was Emily
Sellwood-was diving she might ven
ture to have him informed of the fact
during his hours of work. She would
not be willing that his sanctuary should
be profaned by any less cause, because
she religiously believes that William
Shakespeare is scarcely the equal of
Alfred Tennyson. Ii she were capable
of forming or cherishing any other
opinion, it is doubtful if he would live
with her. She probably preserves her
connubial place by the most rapturous
effacement. There have been awful in-
stances of the inyasions of Tennyson
library while he was in the throes of
composition, owing to the relaxed
vigilance of his domestic dragons. The
scenes that followed can hardly be de-
scribed. The poet, in his wrath, ragged
like mad, threatening to destroy the
intruder, and literally tearing the little
hair he has left. The very idea of
Alfred Tennyson in his
hours of divine inspiration seemed to
him monstrous beyond belief, a hideous
crime eternally objectionable. He has
never, | believe, made any physical
assault upon an unfortunate intruder,
though it would have been supposed,
from his furious demonstrations, that
he could be appeased with nothing
short of homicide Cor. Phtladelphia

Scientific Miscellany.

Some of the mines from which the
inhabitants of England in the stone age
obtained flint for their weapons and
implements may still be traced. Their
age is estimated by Mr.. ;. j. b.
Skertchly to be not less than 4 900
years.
Luminous creatures are prOba bly,
much more numerous than is generally
supposed. According to Prof. G. Coll

cept that of birds, includes representa-
tives which, under certain circumstan-
ces and conditions, have been proved
to be capable of giving out light.

JAPANESE PATCHWORK.

This is new style in which to piece
silk, and one which wastes but little of
the material Cut lining of calico or
cotton of about thirteen inches square,
and if you remember how the log cabin
quilts were pieced you will have the
idea, only in that you had square for
the center. But in this lay on such a
piece of silk as you happen to have,
not large and no matter what shape,
and just "catch'' on to the cloth. Then
take another piece of another color
and, putting right sides together, run
together turn over and "calch down"
as before. Continue this until the
square is covered, pressing so as to be
perfectly smooth. cutting off the extra
silk left at edges. You will have an
odd-looking square, but when you have
feather-stitched over the seams with a
contrasting-colored floss or silk you
will be astonished at the beauty of your
work. There will be no two alike, and
it will be a handsome quilt when COM
pleted. 1t is beautiful to join the

Altogether it is clever idea which is
worth knowing, for it could be carried
out in many ways without the meaning
of the decoration being lost sight Of.
Many of the fashionable tea-cloths
are now made of pale-colored Roman
sheeting, bordered with frill of deep
cream or cotfee-colored lace, or with
festoons of fancy Madras muslin with
colored flowers, caught up with silk
pompons matching in color. Violin,
guitar, and banjo blankets are now
popular for gift or purchase, as these
instruments are now much played by
girls and women. Satin, plush, and
cloth are the favorite materials. Crush
bags for holding cloaks and wraps
worn at -vening parties are made OF
colored serge, with spray of flowers
or very large monogram worked on
one side. Colored silk handkerchiefs,
edged all round with lace, with draw
string run round just to escape the
corners, make excellent rk-bags,
with pompon at each corner, and at
each end of the drawstring; little
silk bag of scent is tackled inside.
