coLoRs oF TAe AssYRlANs
Not Inferior 10 Those of the AncIenI
Egyptians-wha Lsyard say.

N"h ihicriof 70 ihnse OF the Ancient
Egyptians-wh Lsyard Says.
William Linton In The Architect
The colors which have revealed them.
selves during Layard's excavations Mt
Nineveh, display sufficient evidence that
they are not inferior to those of the nm
cient Egyptians, either in number, va
riety, or brilliancy. Instead of the
common earthly bole or reddle of the
latter people, the Assyrians have left us
a color almost equal to vermilion
itself. The monochrome pictures
which represented the Chaldeans on
the wall ezekiel xiii, la arc
said by G %esenius, the septuagint, and
the \ulgate, to have been painted with
sinoper or rubrica, "A native earthly OK
ide, like Indian red, while both the
great English versions of the Bible now
in use, rs well rs the rabbis, translate
the word at issue c shashar," jeremiah
xxi, IA vermillion.
At Khorsabad 1t appears that the red
approached in hue 10 that brilliant
color, while the sculptures at Nimproud
exhibited a bright CRIMSON or lake tint.
Layard thinks there is ne coubt of their
having made great use of vege-
table colors, the materials for
which are so plenteous in the
vicinity of Nineyeh. The rapid
eyanescence OF some specimens of blue
and red OF plaster, which were bright
and perfect in color when first exposed,
would appear to favor a vegetable
origin, as no susceptibility of the kind
known to characterize any mineral reds
or blues with which we are at present
acquainted. Layard claims for the older
Assyrian period the same colors which
have been attributed to the early times
of the Egyptians, viz, blue, red, yellow,
black and white. He also speaks of a
green on the earlier monuments of Nim-
roud, and Of green, purple, violet,
brown, ETC., enameled in paintings of
figures on bricks at the northwest palace.
In ~allusion to the analysis of Sir
Gardner Wilkinson's specimens of the
A~lexandrian blue, by IT. Ire, Layard
coniectures that the ~coloring principle
may be the same, but alhrms thai the
Assyrian blue is much brighter. He
concludes that the color was derived
from copper, as he found an old m ne
of that ors in the neighbornood of
Nineveh. Layard considers the greens
of Assyria to lie similar to those of
iglpt, which arc in many instances
composed of iron o her and copper blue.
The ycllows and blacks, he conceiyes to
resemble tho'e from gpyt; and rs
specimens Of the latter class of pigments
he mentions calcined bone and black
iron ocher. The whites are Of alabaster
and gypsum. At hhorsabad, the rench
antiquarian, NJ. otta. found green,
red, black, white, yellow and blue-the
latter very lively in color.

.N. Maui n Williams
! cannot at all agree with those OF my
vegetarian friends who denounce flesh
meat as a prolific source of disease, as
inllaming tho passions and generally
donoralizing. Neither am l at all dis
posed to make n religion of eithor eat
ing, drinking, or abstaining. There
are certain albuminoids, certain carbo-
hydrates, certain hydrocarbons and
certain salts demanded for our susten.
nnc Excepting in fruit. these are not
supplied by nature in a fit condition for
our use. They must be prepared.
Whether we DO all the preparation in
the kitchen by bringing the produce of
the earth directly there, or whether, on
account of our ignorance and incapa-
city as COOKS, we pas our food through
the stomach, intestines, blood-vcssels,
ct Of sheep and oxen, rs a substitute
for the first stages OF scientific cookery,
the result is about the same as regards
the diatetio result. Flesh feeding is a
nasty practice, but | sec no grounds for
denouncing it as physiologically injuri.
Gus.
In my youthful days | was on friendly
terms with a sheep that belonged to a
butcher in Jermyn street. This animal,
for some reason, had been spared in its
iambhood, and was reared as the butch
srs pet. 1t was we'll known in st.
James by following the butcher men
through the streets like a dog have
seen this sheep steal mutton.chops and
devour them raw. 1t preferred beef or
mutton TO grass. II en- Dyed robust
health, and was by no means ~ferocious.
II was merely o disgusting animal, with
excessively perverted appetite; a per-
version that supplies very suggestive
material for human meditation.
Ny W experiments on myself, and
the m ltitude of other experiments that
am daily witnessing among men of all
occupations who have cast aside liesh-
food after many years Of mixed diet,
prove ineontestably that fesh-food is
quite unnecessary; and also that men
and women who emulate the aforesaid
sheep to the mild extent Of consuming
daily about two ounces OF animal tissue
combined with six ounces Of water, and
dilute this with such weak vegetable
food as the potato, are not measurably
altered thereby 80 far as physical health
10 concerned.

The demand for rattlesnake oil is
shown by the fact that the serpents are
often hunted systematically in order
that quantities of their oil may be OBJ
tanned. Every summer citizens of Port

lodges and catch the reptiles with gan
hooks, the local druggist paying them
5 an ounce for the oil, which finds
ready sale. A prominent physician

No such Creatures As Coral insects
lCnr NaM York Pnaf

NNVH AN'h tpHAi
This single coral animal quite unlike
an insect, and it is quite time for books
to omit that designation-coral insect
Is like the sea anemones, Actihias, or
s~ea-Lowers, some species Of which we
see on the rocks of our northern coast.
1t is a small tube Of flesh, with a stom-
aeh, and tentacles surrounding it, which
move about in search of food and con.
duct it to the mouth. The nervous sys-
TEN and blood system are of the most
sin Pile kind Cf course, in a creature
NO low in the scale of life, there is no
head, nor are there special organs Of
sense, such as for seeing and hearing.
They are popularity called animal flow
ers.
This little creature soon develops a
hard covering or shell, secreting from
Its exterior a shell froG the lime which
is held In solution by tue sea water, Just
as the clam or any shell-fsh secretes the
lime coverings are analogous to the
skeletons of higher animals. though in
one case the lime skeleton is inside, in
the other outside. After a little the
soft young coral, having settled itself
upon a solid footing on the bottom of
the sea, like myriads of others around
1t, exhibits a white calcarious coating
on portions of it, and in a short time
has deposited from its soft exterior and
partitions OF its interior a solid lime
tube, with dividing walls. This is coral
pure and simple
A great block many feet In diameter
Is no mole than simply a congregation
of many Of these. When the little single
coral is perfect in its lime tube, il buds,
and increases itself thereby, adding ON
stantly either in this way or by the
emission OF eggs.
