states, in a report to the Pathological
society, that Of the death among the
mammals only five were from genu-
inc pulmonary tuberculosis or cofa-
sumption, showing that the general
notion that wild animals in captivity
are especially liable to that disease
is erroneous. OF the mammals 303

per cent had other forms Of pulmo-
nary affection. Bronchitis attacks

groups. The carnivora, for instance,
are very liable to double pleurises
and pneumonia, while ruminita have

culosis. In birds is noticed liabili-
ty to Inflammation OF the airsacs,
which gives rise to peculiar cxuda-
ton in which mould develops and
spreads through the lung.
The Polar Light.-Following up
small experiments made in 1871 Pro-
fessor Selim Lemstrom, OF the Finnish
Meteorological station ut Sodankyla,
Laplani, attempted in 1882 to pro-
duce an aurora on large scale from
the electricity supposed to be flow
ing from the air to the earth, the
means employed being ia "discharg-
ing apparatus" consisting oil a net
work of pointed wire conductors
spread over the top Of mountain,
insulated and connected with gal
vanometer and the earth at the foot
OF the mountain. A dilruse light,
which the spectroscope showed TO be
identical with the aurora boreals,
was often seen lowering over the
wires, and on some occasions rays be-
came visible. Continuing his re.
searches in 1883 and 1854, Professor
Lemstrom now finds himself able to
assert very positively that the aurora
borealis. which has long been dis
puted enigma, is the result OF an at
mospheric electric current, and that
this current can be measured and
studied by means of his "discharg-
ing apparatus" The zone Of fire.

Curious Delicacy.

In the market place of several wes-
tern Mexican towns peasant women
bring in for sale trays covered with
living ants, each about as big and
round as large white currant. and
each entirely filed with honey or
grape sugar, much appreciated by the
ingenious Mexican youth as an ex-
cellent substitute for coffee. They
hold the ant by its head and suck out
the honey, with which its back parts
are greatly distended, and throw
away the empty body. Women buy
the ant by the quart, press out the
honey through muslin strainer and
make it into sweet intoxicant that
is greatly enjoyed by Mexican youth
and husbands.

Iliuatrating n Prayer.

A good deacon in an old fashioned
New England town was terribly ex-
ercised over the conduct OF son OF
bis, who showed disinclination TO
walking in the straight and narrow
path prescribed by the strictest rules
of orthodoxy. This recalcitrant youth
displayed fondness for social gath
erings, and would rather "go home"
with pretty girl six nights in the
week than devote single evening to
a careful study Of his Sunday school
lesson. Finally the climax of his
transgressions was reached. and at
the prayer meeting that week the un-
happy father took occasion to make
his family troubles the subject OF a
fervent petition to the throne of
grace.
"Thou knowest, o Lord" he said
chow that son of mine has trans
gressed Thy ways and brought sor-
row to the hearth of Thy servant,
who has tried to bring up his son in
the way he should go. Thou know
est how he prefers appleparin's and
huskin' bees and sieh to the means
of the grace. and now, O Lord, he
has gone beyond all bounds, for did
not Thy servant hear his unsaved son
go riding through the streets OF the
village to-day whistling this ungodly
tune
At this point, 10 the utter surprise
and decentralization OF the scandalized
brethren and.sisters. and to the in
tense delight of the !rreverent youth
who were present. the conscientious
deacon whistled, with realistic exacti-
tude, the well known strains OF
Yankee Doodle" and then pro-
ceeded with his prayer I1arper's

SCHOOL HYGIENE.
Measures for the Prevention of Con-
taeious Diseases In Schools.

The Medical officers OF Schools As
sociation, which was formed in Eng
land in 1884, has just issued code OF
rules for the prevention Of infectious
and contagious diseases in schools,
which contains some valuable sug-
gestions and which is important as
being formal expression OF opinion
on the part OF medical men and sani-
tarians who have specially investigat-
ed the subject OF school hygiene. The
first section relating to general hy-
giene gives the usual advice with re-
gard to honse-drainage, dust bins,
etc, and advises that the medical
officer Of the school shall inspect the
premises at least once a month and
that he should make an annual re-
turn OF the sickness in the school to
the governing body.
With regard to the length OF quar-
antine that should be required if a
pupil has been exposed to an infec-
tious disease, it is stated that this de.
pends chiefly upon whether the
school has or has not that very valu-
able safeguard-a disinfecting appar-
atus, which apparatus should be
large enough to hold iull-sized mat
tress. II the school possess such an
apparatus, then the quarantine
should be day or two more than the
longest known period of incubation
OF the disease in question; ii not. the
period should be longer still, as there
is no definite time when the clothing
is certain to be free from infection.
The following quarantine times,
after exposure 10 injection, are rec
ommended as safe if thorough disin-
fection be carried out on the pupils

Aiding the Memory.

In France some years ago con-
veyance OF land required twelve adult
witnesses, who were accompanied by
twelve little boys; and when the
price of the land was paid and its
surrender took place the ears of the
boys were pulled and they were
severely beaten, so that the pain thus
inflicted should leave an impression
upon their memory, and, if required
aiterward, they might bear witness
to the sale. Later, when a criminal
was being executed, parents whipped
sheir children, so that they might
lake warning by the example and
keep in the path of virtue.

The Medical Society Discusses the Subject Of
Consumption and Endorses Old Methods.

| DR.. Monker read a paper before the medical
society last evening on consumption based upon
case of which he had made an autopsy. The
lungs and heart were presented and closely ex-
amined by the physicians present. The right
lung had the appearance and consistency of liver
1t was ''carnifed, in fact. Air had escaped into
the chest from one of the bronchial tubes prob
ably. The patient died of hemorrhage, after
fighting for life ten months DR.. Monker sprung
the subject of the infectious and contagious
nature of consumption.
Dr. Comingor. who had counseled with DIR.
Monker in the case, presented the symptoms as
he had seen them, from time 10 time, and gave a
history Of the case. DIR. Monker found chalky
nodules in the apex of each lung, but no ad-
hesions cavities, pus or other fluids. DR.. Bige-
low thought the case was ordinary typical
one, and had no relation to any bacillus or para
site agent. He regarded all such theories as
German humbugs DIR. Wooden thought the
case was one of ordinary ibroid phthiss. due
to local action and Inflammation, binding
down and solidifying the lung 1t was an infam-
matory progress in low grade of constitution,
and such patient might last with good treat
ment and in a suitable climate, for years. The y
were not hopeless cases to treat. DR.. Wooden
thought the malarioas symptoms of the case
were only simulative; the chills and fever were
due to acute local infammations of various parts
of the diseased lung. DR.. Luther Todd cited
cases TO show that consumption was far more
common as an incipient disease than the pro-
fession has conceded, and that patients may re-
cover after the lungs have been widely diseased
He believed consumption amenable to treatment
and that the good old-fashioned methods and
views were based on rational grounds.
Dr. Todd thought four out of five cases amen
able to proper treatment If taken in hand early.
Dr. Stillson thought that We were returning to
the old views regarding consumption. The
microbes are found in SO many diseases. and in
such unexpected places and company, that we
cannot say whether they cause or effect.
Even Koch admitted that in acute consumption
the bacilli had no constant and definite relation
to the disease
The general impression seemed to be that there
has been no considerable advance made in our
knowledge Of consumption by the recent at
tempts to relate it to the germ theory, and
that it must be fought on the old plan, and that
it is disease that is not infrequentiy cured.

Alleged Criminal Practice.

Buck Governs. farmer about thirty years
old. living near Danville, was brought to this city
yesterday afternoon to be tried for alleged criminal
practice. The alleged victim was Miss Mary
Barker, young girl nineteen years of age, who
lived at Coatsville. The charge was made be-
fore Mayor McMaster by Martin Mason, of
Coatsville. who claims that Gowens administered
70 the girl such noxious drugs and medicines
that the death of the patient was the natural re-
suit. Gowens claims that he is innocent of the
charge.
