Relation Of Saltwater 10 Cholera
+ Epidemics.

That too much as well as too little
water in the soil Is unfavOrable to chol-
era is Vouched for by k,rge mass of
facts. AS ] watched the cholera in
Bavaria during 1854 | was surprised to
find that the marshy districts, where,
as rule, the poorest dwelt, were ex-
empt from epidcmics. The great
Donau bog, which lies between 'Neu-
burg and Ingolstadt, was surrounded
by the epidemic. but the disease did
not enter the villages on the fen. On
the Freisinger moors an epidemic oc-
Cured at Halbergmoos. On going
thither the affected houses were found
to stand on q tongue of land composed
of quartz. which tongue reached IN
ward on the moor. Rcinhard had
proved the same thing for SaXony.
The northern part, of Saxony, which
lies on the Spree, is a highly malarious
district. For the eleventh time that
cholera visited Saxony il Stunned this
region Of fever. ] will not say that
cholera can not be epidemic on a fen,
but do believe that when such an oc-
currence takes place we ought to ask
ourselves what relation il may have
with the state of moisture of the soil.
The theory on the soil and slfbsoil
water requires that knowledge should
be obtained of whatfakes place in and
over the soil. on the outbreak and on
the cessation Of cholera. II requires
rs Port has said, continuous record
of facts. That cholera should very sell
dom be met with in the neighborhood
of and on mountains is also in har-
mony with the disposition of cholera in
respect of time; so that, as the fire.
quency of cholera in these regions di-
minishes, the rainfall increases; the
weather and cholera are equally capri
cious. Towns among mountains which
are refugees for fugitiyGs from cholera
are but seldom situated on a soil which
in and OF itself would exclude cholera.
Salzburg and Innsbruck have, for ex-
ample, never yet been visited by
cholera. Further, in 1866. these towns
escaped, although considerable in
fiux took place from the seat of war
where cholera ragged. Salzburg. but
still more Innsbruck, stands on the
alluvial soil Of the Salzbach and the
Inn, as Munich stands on the lsar; but
the fjrst-named towns have about fifty
per cent more rainfall than Munich.
can only imagine that the necessary
degrees of dryncss for the development
of cholera would be attained but very
rarely in Salzburg and Innsbruck, just
as occurred partially at Lyons in 1854,
and in juno. 1859, at Bombay, where
cholera prevailed during the mon
soons, which, as rule, drive the
cholera away.-Dr. Mar roR E'etten-

Queer Specimens Of Wood.

"Haye you seen my cabinet Of curios-
itiesp" said fruit-dealer to 4 reporter
for the New York Mail and Express, as
he led the way into his office. On the
wall of his Office was arranged black
walnut cabinet with well-filled shelves.
Taking from one of them n piece of
wood so pierced with holes that it
seemed a wonder that il held itself to-
gether at all, the dealer continued:
"This piece comes from Mexico. A
contractor who was building railroad
across salt-marsh had occasion to en-
anime some of the piles which had
been driven into water twenty-six days
after The work had been completed.
What was his astonishment to find that
every one of the hundreds OF piles which
had been driven was pierced with holes
and made utterly worthless. He found
an immense number of small worms in
the wood. f.. -.
Zone of the most wonderful things in
my collection Is piece of the tree
from which this is taken," continued
the merchant, taking up what appear
ed to be a piece of plain meshed lace of
fine quality. "The lace-bark tree from
which that is taken grows in Jamaica.
A sea captain, in whom ] have an en-
cellent friend, brought me this halter
and whip made from the bark OF this
tree. Whenever native wants awhip
he cuts down a small sapling of the
right length. and begins beating one
end of 1t with heavy piece OF, wood.
The fbres soon separate, and by care
full manipulation the lace structure of
the wood soon shows itself. When suf-
fcient wood has been beaten to form
the lash he braids the strands, aud,
crack his whip is made.
The natives use this lace cloth or H.
Der for the manufacture of articles OF
clothing. the wife of an English Off
Ger. who visited Jamaica, was so struck
with the wonderful properties of the
tree and the beauty of the lace which
was made from IL that she constructed
bonnet with admirable skill entirely
from this material, and sent 1t as a
present to Queen Victoria, The queen
was so pleased with the curious gift
that she sent personal letter to the
officers wife, thanking her for the
present and expressing great surprise
that thing of so much beauty could
be made from the bark of a tree.

A Wonderful "Library."

In the Agricultural Department of a
library at Warsenstein, neal Cassel,
Germany, may be seen a most novel
collection of books. At first glance
they appear like rough blocks of wood
but on closer examination it is found
that each is a complete history of the
particular tree which it represents. At
this back of the book the bark has been
removed from a space large enough to
admit the scientific and common name
OF the tree as a title. One side is formed
from the split wood of the tree show
inc its grain and natural fracture; tho
other shows the wood when worked
smooth and vanished. One e,Id shows
the grain as left by the saw, and the
other the finely polished wood. On
opening the book one finds the fruit.
seeds, leaves and other products of the
tree, the moss which usually grows
upon its trunk, and the insects which
feed upon the various parts of the tree.
10 all this is added a well printed de-
scription of the habits, usual location.
and manner OF growth of the tree-all
forming a complete history OF each kind
OF timber represented, and in a form
readily understood.-M Y. Post.
