New England's Deadly Climate.

That dire disease, pneumonia, is
working sad destruction to life in New
England in the present spring months.
It claims its victims among the young
and vigorous, as we'll as those more
open to the attacks of ordinarily fatal
diseases, and il cuts down untimely many
useful careers. 1t is to be hoped that
the worst form of its manifestations is
past: yet q word of caution to the pub
lie is still not inappropriate. 1t is we'll
70 remember that we live in climate
which is peculiarly threatening to life
in the months of the year when violent
changes are to be apprehended. The
belief in the balmy spring of New En-
gland is altogether o delusion. Mild
ness of atmosphere seldom prevails at
that time beyond brief period, and,
when it does appear, the indication is
one for warning much more than justi-
flying confidence. Deadly disease lies
in wait under spring in her most at
tractive aspect at this period. If one
is deluded into the belief that our eli
mate can be trusted, it is only to be be
trayed to danger, if not to death; and
of late there appears to be tendency
to breed epidemics in the atmosphere,
from the effect of which the most eau
tious often fail to escape. Sudden
changes in the weather have become
almost the rule in spring: and if they
are not fully established as the rule,
the safest course Is to assume that they
will come, and to be prepared as much
as possible to resist them. If the South
has its malarial epidemics, the North
has its climatic ones as well; and pure
and cold breezes bear with them at
times an element as destructive to life
as do the tainted airs poisoned with mi
asma which are engendered in tropical
chimes. Death lies in wait in more than
one form, and, with the frequent warn
ings that have been furnished, it is evil
dent that the human. system cannot be
too sedulously guarded against his APP

Forest Denudation and Floods.

The State Geologist of Indiana does
not believe that the clearing of timte:-
ed lands along the Ohio River system
is the cause Of excessive floods. His
conclusions are:
That floods are owing to recent
evident from alluvial deposits that
floods have occurred in the Ohio Val
ley long before the country was known
to white men, although recent con-
ditions may have contributed to their
magnitude. There is evidence from
these deposits that there have been oc-
casional floods much higher than any
that have occurred since the country
was settled. For this reason floods are
likely to occur again, as they did prob
ably hundreds of years ago. The in
fluence of forests is not regarded as so
great as is frequently ascribed to them.
They have little effect on the aerial
currents which produce continental
storms, and which often extend over
1000 miles, producing great floods.
The heights of the several principal
foods are given, showing no material
change in their magnitude for the last
half century or more, the time when
h8 t hs g8s forests sksI aSs st sssh
removed"
The chief cause of extraordinary
floods however, seems to have been
ignored. The cutting away of forests
on hillsides and opening the soil to cul-
tivation permit the water to flow with
out obstruction Immediately to the wa
ter courses, while the debris of the for
ests and the dead, matted grasses hold
water like sponge. Forest lands,
while they may not prevent occasional
great floods, do hold the waters to a
great extent that otherwise would do
serious damage; in other words, where
there are forest lands to hold back the
waters serious floods are of rarer occur
renee than where country is denuded
of trees. Another well-settled propo-
sition is, that deluging rains are more
frequent in treeless country than in
one of average forest growth, yet the
annual rainfall may be the same in the
one case as in the other.-ChicagO

The Baby's Growth.

Any one who has listened to the
usual talk of the mother or the nurse
about her baby will have noticed that
she endows it with degree of intelli-
gence which it is quite impossible that
it should possess. She has no hesita-
ton in infusing a grown-up mind into
the helpless bundle in her arms, and
in attributing to it likes and dislikes,
perceptions, expressions of will and of
temper, and various virtues and fail
ings which are incompatible with its
natural 1ia misconcepton. Mothers may
be interested in comparing their chill
dren's progress with that of the typical
baby; we therefore subjoin the follow
ing table:

The wbited sepuIchers of New Orleans.

New Orleans, being built in marsh,
cannot have cellars for the houses of
the living or graves for the dead. At
q burial the services of mason, and
not of q gravedigger, are required, and
the coffin is walled up in brick or
stone cell, painted white, which makes
graveyard resemble the parked
wagon-train of a large army. Often
families or associations have large
tombs, containing several rows of cells,
one above the other, and there are
some monuments in each one, the most
prominent ones being to Confederate
officers and firemen. In the National

wounded on the part of the enemy
shows that 700 bullets were expended
for each man wounded, and 400 for
each one killed. Now, as the average
weight of the ball used was thirty
grams, it must have required at least
l26 Kilograms, or about 277 pounds OF
lead. to kill O man. In the Franco
Prussian war the slaughter caused by
the needle-gun among the French shows
how much superior that firearm was
to the Austrian carbine; but about
300 shots were required then to ac-
complish the destruction of single
soldier. 1t is found in practice that
great majority of the wasted bullets go
over the heads of the enemy; hence re-
sort is sometimes had 20 the expedient
of pressing down, by means of staff,
the muskets OF platoon of men about
to fire; a sergeant being detailed for
the service. When the shots are aimed
at an isolated soldier, the chances
against him are, of course, greater;
but even then the waste of lead is some
thing enormous. In the Franco-Prus-
sian war, according to an officer who
witnessed the performance, French
company of chasseurs fired for quar-
ter of an hour at German mounted
sentry posted on hillock about three
hundred yards off. Full four hundred
shots were fired before either man or
morse was hit. A really expert marks
man would probably have picked of
the man at the very first attempt, OF
certainly at the second.-FopttIar Sci

A Second Armistice Agreed to Betwee
Seryfa and Bulgaria.


A dispatch from Belgrade says that
an armistice between Seryia and Bull
garia was concluded on the 2Sth. The
cessation OF hostilities was brought
about by the efforts OF Count Won
khevenhuIer Mecrich, the Austro- Hun
garian envoy extraordinary and
minister plenip ipOtentIiry at Belgrade.
Before the conclusion ot the aImistice
the Bulg4riaus made an assault upon
Peirot, aud forcing the Serviaus to re-
tire at the point OF the bayonet, cap
tured the town. Dispatches received
at Vienna say that the Bulgarian gar
rlson at WIddin made a sortie, but
was repulsed after desperate fighting,
IN which many bayonets were
crossed and hand to hand strug-
giles occurred. The slaughter was
heavy on both sides. The Turkish
