To Mako Up for Infant Mortality.

The turbot lays 100000 eggs, well
knowing that IL, 999, 900 will be eaten up
in the state of spawn or devoured by
enemies in helpless infancy, OF drifted
out to sea and hopelessly lost, or other
wise somehow unaccounted for. The
fewer the casualties to which a race
is exposed the smaller the number
of eggs or young which it needs to pro-
duce III order to cover the necessary
losses.
In fish generally it takes at least 100,-
600 eggs each year to keep p the aver
age of the species. In frogs and other
Smphibians, few hundred are amply
sufficient. Reptiles often lay only a
much smaller number. In birds, which
hatch their own eggs and feed their
young, from ten to two eggs per annum
are quite sufficient to replenish the EARTH
Among mammals, three or four at a
birth is a rare number, and many of the
larger sorts. produce one calf or foal at a
time only.
= In tho human race at large, q total of
five or six children for each married
couple during whole lifetime makes up
sufficiently for infant mortality and all
other sources of loss, though among
utter, savages far higher rate is usually
necessary. Even making allowances for
necessary deaths and celibacy, however,
believe that as sanitation improves and
needless infant mortality is done away
with, the human race will finally come
to state of equilibrium with an average
of three children to each household

The Readers of Book Manuscript,

A large publishing-house states that i:
generally employs as readers men AMI
women of culture, who themselves have
done literary work; sometimes lawyer
who finds time from his professional du-
ties, or doctor similarly situated, and
sometimes a woman of refined education
qualified to do the work. When any
manuscript on scientific, medical, or
special subject is handed in some recog-
nized professional man in that particular
is engaged Nearly all writers bear a
part of the expense of the first. edition.
all new writers do. 1t is fact not gen.
orally known that Longfellow paid within
a small amount of the total cost of pro-
duction of his first volume of poems, and
James Russell Lowell paid all the ex-
pense of his first work.-Chicago Times.

Cloth from the Mulberry Tree.

Two days later we reached Levuka Gin
island of Ovalau), the former capital of
FIJI and principal European town, and
found what we had searched for vainly
in Suva-tapa, a cloth made out of the
bark of the mulberry tree. The process
of making it is by beating it out to the
required substance after the outer rind is
stripped off; it is then moistened and
pressed together to the size required, in
lengths varying from three to 100 feet.
1t is then stained with natural dyes IT,
primitive but artistic patterns. Some
from the island of Rotumah are so finely
marked that they give the impression of
having been traced with an etching pen.
These fine specimens are perhaps less use
full for decoration than the holder de-
signs, which are much used by the better
class of natives for their sulus. Those Of
a cinnamon color fall in well with their
FURNISHED bronze skins and thick dark
hair, of which they are justly proud.
The ends of the bushy form it naturally
assumes-turned by the lime dressing to
the color of undyed sealskin-give the
effect, in strong sunlight, of an aureole to

The Famous Chinese Rice Papcr.

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi
nese made paper from fibrous matter re-
duced to pulp. Now each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The Gel
ebrated Chinese rice paper, that so re-
sembles wooden and silk fabrics, and on
which are painted quaint birds and flow
ers, is manufactured from compressed
pith, which is cut spirally by keen
knife into thin slices six inches wide and
twice as long. Funeral papers, or paper
limitations of earthly things which they
desire to bestow on departed friends, are
burned over their graves. They use
paper window frames. paper sliding
doors, and paper visiting cards yard
long. 1t is related that when distin-
guished representative of the British gov
eminent visited Pekin several servants
brought him huge roll, which, when
spread out on the floor, proved to be
the visiting card Of the emperor.-Phila-
delphia Call.

The Multiplication Of Aphides.

Perhaps no more striking illustration
of the wonderful reproductive powers Of
certain insects could be given than that
contained in a new work by Theodore
Wood, an English entomologist. 1t is
assumed first that 100 aphides weigh no
more collectively than single grain;
and secondly, that only very stout man
can weigh as much as 2,OO0, 900 grains.
Then it is found that if multiplication
were entirely unchecked, the tenth brood
alone of the descendants of a single
aphis would be equivalent in point of
actual matter to more than 500, 600, 900
of very stout men, or one-tl,ird of the
human population Of the globe, suppos-
ing each person to weigh $50 pounds.
