Celebration was long quite unintelligi-

conspicuous and often so gaudily coll
ored as to attract attention; but it is
now found that many groups of species
thus colored have totally different kind
of protection in being endowed with
such an offensive odor and taste as to be
inedible. Whole families of butterflies,
moths, beetles and other insects are now
known by actual experiment to be so
protected, and thosesin every case pos
sess conspicuous colors, or at all events
are entirely wanting in those protective
hues which characterize most creatures

In some interesting experiments made
by an English oculist on the relative
values OF various forms of lamp shades
an important result was arrived at. The
method pursued by him was to measure
the brightness of white paper lying on a
table over which the scource of artificial
light was suspended at a given distance
by means Of . Weber photometer. Thus
the fact was confirmed that the general
effect of a shade is to increase very
greatly the illumination Immediately
under the light. while not modifying it
notably at an angular distance greater
than forty-five degrees from this re-
gion.
Taking as q measure of the value of
the illumination in this case the number
OF lines which can be read from news

illumination that OF normal candle at
q perpendicular distance of meter from
the paper. it is found that the best
illumination is not less than fifty such
units, but even fifth of this illumina-
ton is very rarely secured. except Inn
mediately under lamp provided with a
good shade. Scientific Journal

malignant course in fat persons. The

skin ID constantly bathed in perspiration
on slight exertion or when the external
temperature rises. Hence skin diseases
are common and often intensely annoy

lated tat, so breathlessness ON exertion
is common among them.
The frequency Of perspirations leaves
the surface exposed to chilling infiu-
ences which cause coughs, colds. bron-
chitis and pneumonia. The overlooking
Of the heart with fat interferes with its
action, SO that palpitations and sudden
faintness from partial failure of this
organ to do its duty are not infrequent.
The extra weight that has to be carried
entails muscular exhaustion on exertion
