The City OF Mexico Doomed.

The City of Mexico Is slowly but
surely sinking into Lake Texcoco, and
II means are not taken to prevent such
q calamity 1t will be under water in
about fifty years. Humboldt's meas
urements taken early in this century
gave the lake a depth OF sixteen feet ten
Inches, and 1t is nowhere more than
six feet eight inches, Ghile careful OBJ
servations in the last twenty years
show that the bottom of the lake has
risen uniformly one and one-half inches
year, and IL now but nine feet below
the level Of the principal streets of the
city. This seriously impedes drainage,
the fall OF the sewers beng too slight
to produce proper flow Of refuse mat
ter even in dry weather, while in the
rainy season, when the streets are
sometimes flooded from the lake, it is
completely checked. The ground on
which the city stands is therefore satu-
rated to within two or three feet of the
surface with decaying matter, poisonous
gases rise, and thousands die yearly
from malarial and malignant fevers.
Ten years ago, when the population
was about 100000, the annual death
rate was per cent, or 5000 persons,
and this percentage has doubtless in
creased with the growth of the place,
little attention being paid to sanitary
improvements. The city suffered from
five. great foundations from 1868 to
1880, and in 1889 drain IL miles long,
100 to 1870 feet deep, and 200 to 800
feet wide, which had occupied 100
years in construction, was completed.
The efficacy of this does not seem to
have lasted, and it is now urged that
large sums be expended in draining
Lake Texcoco dry and carrying off the
surplus moisture OF the valley Of Mexi-
CO to save the ancient city of the Aztecs
from destruction. Springfield Republi-

Dietetic Philosophy.

Why were the Jews forbidden to eat
swinep Was it because OF the UNI
cleanliness of the animal, or to avoid
diseasep The prevalence of trichin0sis
in our day, which has led Prince Bis
marck to forbid the importation OF
American pork into Germany, suggests
an explanation. And yet the Cretans
would not cat pigs. not because they
thought them unclean. but because Ju-
piter was supposed to have been
sucked by SOW. The ancient Egyp-
tians, the Phenicians, the Syrians, and
the Arabians refrained from eating
pigs neither on sanitary nor on religi-
GUS grounds, but simply because pigs
were found more useful as animated
plows in turning up the soil with their
shouts. 1t is said that Pythagoras,
who forbade the use of flesh meat In
general. would not have refused dish
Of roast pork, so little likely were pigs
considered to harbor the souls Of the
departed, and yet he could not possibly
have eaten beans with his bacon, be-
cause he conceived beans to have had
the same origin as man. Herein, be 1t
noted, the old Greek seems to have had
an inkling of the theory which we are
accustomed to associate with Darwin,
only Pythagoras found the missing link
between plants and animals-let us say,
between beans and bacon-in the soul,
while the evolutionists of our time are
still on the hunt for it.. Pythagoras, II
may be remembered, also disallowed
the use of fish for food for certain phil
osophical reasons. the Year Round.

The New Cell Theory.

Such was the cell of thirteen years
ago-''a structureless mass of proto-
plasm," which increased in size by nu-
triton, and in numbers by division.
Such is the cell of most OF the text
books of to-day. But the cell of sci
ence is very different affair. Instead
Of being structureless, it is found to
possess an intricate structure, while
its division is far from being the SIM
pie process above indicated. The new
cell-theory is, in fact, but five or six
years old in its developed form. and it
Is as yet settled only in its main fea-
lures. Its minor details need much
further calculation.
These new discoveries, which we
shall briefly describe, are largely due
to the increased power and clearness
of definition of the microscope, and
still more to new and improved meth
DDS of preparing organic sections for
investigation, by the employment Of
stains, preserving agents, and other
useful appliances. It is not every mi
croscopist that is able to see the minute
details of cell-structure lately an
nounced. The careful preparation Of
material and exceedingly delicate man
ipulation required need years of prac-
tice, and the discoveries referred to are
due to the first microscopists of the
age, though the methods are now SO
simplified that any skillful observer.
with good instrument and proper
care. may hope to successfully employ
them Charles Norris, IN Popular

and work on German, Swiss, English.
French, and American watches every
week, repairing or taking them apart,
and have not seen wheel made OF
pulp, not even among the latest watch
es from Germany. Then from my
knowledge of machinery necessary to
make a watch and run it for several
years l do not think that pulp by any
process whatever can be made hard
enough to be of use. Brass and steel
are chiefly used to make watch wheels.
Platina Is too hard to work and too
costly, and gold will not do for many
reasons.
Paper buckets and boats are made,
but they have no special friction COM
pared to that of watchwheel, which
runs in cogs all the time. Suppose q
process was discovered to harden pulp
to degree equal to steel; then the
question Is, would it last as long as
steelp l think not. Car wheels are
made of paper, but they run them
merely on exhibition and not every day.
Steel and brass are metals formed by
natural processes during the course OF
many hundred centuries. Paper OF
pulp hardened by artificial means when
not subject to constant friction may be
equal to steel or brass for certain pro.
cesses, but l imagine its durability
would be uncertain. Hard wood, OF
course, can be used for time as cog
wheels in watches, and many other
temporary tough materials, but they
are simply for exhibition and not utili.
ty. So many watches are made in
Switzerland / wonder they have moi
substituted some cheap material fol
steel and brass, but didn't expect the
Germans to start ut it first. Indeed,
my firm opinion is that it is mistake
about pulp being used even for big cog
wheels, much less small, delicate
ones. "--Nea0 York Mail and Express.
