Color of Arctic Animals.

The white color of Arctic mammals and
birds has hitherto been ascribed to pro-
tective resemblance, the adaptation to
snow-covered country being attrlnuIed
TO the preservation of individuals, which,
by assimilating their surroundings. in
color. either escaped detection by their
foes or were enabled to secure their prey
more advantageously A writer in Ma
ture. however, SCOTS at this explanation,
and points out that white, the worst
abs rber. is also the worst radiator Of all
forms of radiant energy, so that warm
bIooded creatures thus clad are better able
to withstand the severity of an arctic
climate

a VALUABLE TONIC AND REMEDIAL
AGENT,
INDoRSED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
ENTIRE MEDICAL FRATERNITY.

OF all medicinal preparations that have been put
upon the market in recent years, the extract of
malt has proved itself one Of the most valuable
as 3 tonic remedial beverage. 1t has receiv ed
the unqualified recognition and support OF ply
sicians, and Is freely prescribed by them IN many
cases, especially where the nervous or physical
systems have been impaired by disease or
work. The house of DAVID NICHOLSON
of this city, has recently introduced pure malt
extract of high character, made at their request
and under their suggestions by Mr.. Adolphus
Busch and which is popularity known as MICH
OLSON'S LIQUID BREAD" from its life-giving
and healih-restOrins properties. A sample sub
mitted TO DR.. F. L. James was made the subject
of a chemical analysis by him, and the result of
his investigations are given in the appended GER
tihcate:
''W. +. COULTER, Esq, National Druggist-Dear
Sir: Having submitted the Nicholson malt
tract to examination, requested, take pleasure
in reporting that find il to be all that the pro-
prietOrs claim for it. The results as shown in the
following summary, are necessarily only approx
mate but are sufficiently accurate for all practical
purposes.
"The specimens submitted consisted of an
efferveScng fluid, dark brown by direct and of
deep ruby color by transmitted light, resembling
in general appearance and behavior very supe-
rior article of porter, It's taste was, however,
much mllder and more pleasant than porter, be-
ing somewhat sweeter than beer, the sweetness
masked and covered by very pleasant bitter.
derived evidently from hops. The specific gravity
of a sample fresh ON the bottle is 1922 plus.
Amount of extractive matter in 80 cubic cent?
metres of the fluid is 1896 grammes, or about per
cent Amount Of alcohol, per cent. is ? "a plus.
The extractive matter is apparently identical with
the ''extractum maltis'' of Trommer of the
German Pharmacopoeia. 1t consists almost en-
tirely of malt sugar, deXtrine, being free from
fatty acids, etc The fluid contains very large
amount of diastase rs shown by the fact that it
easily liquefes an equal bulk of gelatinous starch.
This fact, its low percentage of alcohol its efer
Vescence it's delg tful taste and odor all combine
to recommend NichOlson's malt extract as being
a most nourishng beverage, and the best article
of the sort that has ever come under my exami-
nation. Respectfully,
CRANK L. JAMES, PHI D.. NJ. d."

Etruria, q new Cnnarder, that arrived
in New York the other day on her trial
