Take the animal world, for example
the creatures themselves, and not their
names and look at the diversity OF
rats and dogs, goats and sheep, beetles
and butterflies; soles and shrimps, that
even the ordinary unlearned man knows
and recognizes, and mostly remembers.
Narrow the question down to dogs alone,
and still you get the same result. Consid-
er the st. Bernards and the mastiffs, the
pugs and bulldogs, the black-and-tans
and the King Charles, the sheep dogs
and the deer-hounds, the shivering little
Italian gray-hounds and the long dachs-
-hunds that you buy by the yard. Every
one of these. and countless others, has
got to have its cell all to itself in the
classificatory department of the human
brain, and suppose another cell for its
name in the portion specially devoted to
language also. Add to these
the plants, flowers, fruits, roots
and other well-known vegetable prod
ucts whose names are familiar to almost
every body, and what q total you have
got at once! A good botanist, to take a
more specific case, knows Gin addition

to say nothing about innumerable small
peculiarities of stem, and leaf and flow

weight of dead fact with which every
body's memory is stored and laden deiies
the possibility of reckoning and pigeon
holding. Make your separate dockets
ever so tiny, reduce them all to theil
smallest dimensions, and yet there will
not be room for all of them in the hui

A Joke Which Is Said to Have Greatly

Every body who has seen Hon. Will
lam M. Evarts, of New York, will re.
member his cadaverous appearance,
for, although man above the medium
in height, he will not weigh to exceed
one hundred and ten pounds. One of
the Senate doorkeepers says a few days
ago a solid, substantial-lookingf farmer,
from the interior of New York State,
seated himself in the gentleman's gal
lery and asked to have Mr.. Evarts
pointed out to him. 1t was at the hour
of noon and only few members were

l When General Logan few minutes
later entered the chamber and depos-
ited an armful of books upon his desk
the old man clutched the doorkeeper
cxcitedly and said:
"That's him-that's the great Mr..

Again the doorkeeper explained his

Positions That Should Be Avoided Durin
Severe Thunder-Storms.

Positions That Should Be Avoided During
Severe Thunder-Storms.
The report of the London Lightning
Rod Conference has given some consid-
Grafton DIS to the question Of positions
that should be avoided by living per-
sons during the prevalence Of severe
thunder-storms. 1t observes that the
chief danger incurred by human beings
and other living animals is due to their
bodies being better conductors than
some objects, such as trees and walls,
with which they are aptto be associated,
although they are bad conduc tors in the
sense that they afford considerable re-
sistanee I'd electrical discharges passing
through them, and therefore give rise to
the development of heat and mechanical
and molecular disturbance. A man
standing, walking or riding upon an
open plain during a thunder storm is in
a dangerous position, because his body
is apt to be made stepping stone for
the discharge that offers less resistance
to it than air. The danger is increased
by the near presence of water, or large
masses of metal in the ground. Dry,
low-lying positions are. safer. than
such as are elevated ana e&"
posed: The close tieighbofhood of water
courses should always be avoided. 1t is
better to lie flat upon the ground than it
is to stand or sit. If shelter is near, the
individual should get at once completely
under cover. To stand under the lea OF
house, wall, hay stack OF thicket Of
trees is more dangerous than to remain
altogether exposed in the open. The
| inside of a barn OF clubhouse, well away
from the walls, is comparatively safe. A
distance of two or three yards away
from the trunks or branches of trees Isl
comparatively safe position; but to lear
against the trunk of tree during thu
prevalence of thunderstorm is especi
ally dangerous. The abstract appended
to the report by Prof. G. Carey Foste
further suggests that in the interior of
house not adequately protected by
lightning conductor it is best to keep t.
the lower rooms during thunder storm
to remain, as far as practicable, in tn
middle of the room; to avoid object
hung from metal chains, gilt frames, fire
place, looking-glasses with amalgamate
backs, and iron pillars and balustrades

RED SNOW.
Vast Extremes of Temperature Borne By
Capsuled Productive Organs.

Vast Extremes of Temperature Borne BY
Capsuled Productive Organs.
Even to-day the wild theories about
the red snow are uotyet ended. Seeing
that the young spores of the alg@ moved
necessarily backward and forward in
the water, the idea arose that they were
animalcule, and red snow only the
lowest form of animal life. BY de-
grees, however, it came to be an ac-
cepted fact that this voluntary motion
does not belong exclusively to animal
life, and the young spores of the lower
plants, although they move freely about
in the water, and are plentifully pro-
vided with fine hair-like threads like the
real infusoria, still remain plants, and
never turn into animals, and thus the
plant nature of the sssnow blossom"
was finally settled. The red snow alga
found on the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpa-
thians, and also on the SUBMITS of the
North American mountains as far down
as California, is not, however, such de-
termined enemy to heat as its having its
home in the ice region would imply.
In the Arctic circle, as well us on our
own mountains of perpetual snow, es-
is seen in summer like light rose-col-
ored film, which gradually deepens in
color, particularly in the track of hui
man footsteps, till at length it turns
almost black. In this state, however,
it is not rotten mass, but consists
| principally of carefully capsuled "quies-
cent spores, in which state these mi-
croscopic atoms pass the winter. bear
ing in this form the greatest extremes OF
temperature. Some have been exposed
to a dry heat of hundred degrees, and
were found still to retain life-bearing
properties, while others, again, were
exposed with impunity to the greatest
cold known in science. This proves
that the productive organs in a capsuled
state can bear vast.extremes oftempera'
ture without injury; significant fact
in which lies the secret of the indie
structibility of those germs which are
recognized as promoters of so many
diseases. Chambers Journal.

How well we all remember Carlo!
He was dear old dog, and belonged
to Mr.. Rhodes, the constable OF our
town.
Carlo always made point of attend.
ing all the fires in the town. lie could
mount a ladder like a fireman, and
well do recollect the last OF his ad-
ventures. 1t was toward evening on
holiday, and few people were in the
place, as most of the citizens OF the
town were absent on popular excur-
sion. / remember feeling sadly disap-
pointed at having to miss the eXcur-
sion myself. AT about five o'clock the
bells in the churches began to ring
very loud and fast; and Carlo, who
had been lazily sleeping and watching
the place, started up, and, with two or
three expressive growls that sum-
moned his master, ran with all speed
for the fire. The dog was very busy,
and intelligent all tho time dragging
down the stairs with great speed and
care, things of every description. AS
the last house was burning, the cry OF
a child was heard in the upper story
Of course it was out of the question for
any one to go up and expect to come
back: but Carlo seemed to take in the
situation at glance. Knowing in his
dog mind that the first stories were
already in a blaze, he leapcd up the
ladder and jumped in through the
: window The fire and smoke soon
drove him back, but his master, who
appeared at that moment, shouted to
| him to 90 in, and the people ccheered.

A NEW NOSE.
How Mr.. Sheehan Was Provided With
Brand New Proboscis.

How Mr.. Sheehan Was Provided With a
Brand New Proboscis.
John Sheehan had new nose put on |
him Sunday. Sheehan has been rather
well-known about town on account of
the Disagreement of his face by the loss
of his nose, which was eaten off by
smallpox twelve years ago. He really
had no nose at all, nothing but flat
liberated place on his face. The bones
were there, but the septum and carti-
lage were gone. There were two open !
ings in his face for nostrils. When Mr..
Sheehan had cold in the head, which
frequently occurred, his face presented
anv thing but an attractive appearance.
Sheehan, after struggling twelve
years against the disadvantages Incl
dent to his condition, voluntarily sub
mitted himself, at the Providence Hos
pital, to the operation of building up
a new nose. What is known as the In
dian operation was performed by DR..
Hamilton, Surgeon-General of the Ma
rine Hospital Service, who was as
sisted by Drs. Hartigan and Hick-
ling. The operation consisted of
taking flap from the forehead, twist
| ING it around and forming nose of it.
| A triangular section, with one point of
| the triangle between the eyes, was cut
in the forehead. The skin and flesh
were cut down to the bone, the flap be-
ing left attached to the flesh between
the eyes. The flap was twisted around
until it hung over the proposed site of
| the new nose. The skin about the old
nose was then cut, and the flaw was
sewed in. A septum was made, and all
together the nose, when completed,
looked very well. When Star reporter
called at the hospital, Mr.. Sheehan's IS
face was swathed in bandages. His
hands were secured in muller, SO that
he could not in his sleep, scratch his
new nose off before nature had secured
it in its place. The new nose will be
of the Grecian type, and the surgeons
think Mr.. Sheehan will be able 70 blow
it and use it for all the purposes thai
noses are used for.
This is the first operation of the kline
performed in this city, one of the phys
clans said to Star reporter, for prob
ably twenty-five years. 1t is, however
one of the earliest operations known t,
surgery. In the middle ages, when nose
were more frequently knocked off thai
now, the surgeon was often called upol
to repair the damaged face of some I'm
fortunate knight, and so such operation
were common. The old Italian metho
was to make graft from the skin an
flesh of mans arm to his nose. Th
flap was left hanging partly to the arm
so as to keep up circulation in the Ell
grated flesh while nature was maxim
the union. The mans arm was there
fore bound to his head so he could M
move it. The French method was I
make two flaps from the cheek, one O
.. each side. The operation in Sheehan
case is called the Indian operation, b
cause the man who submits to it is pa
