Human vivi.ection Reached at Last.

The Observation-Disclosures predicted, some
years ago, that the investigators to whose
objects they are -anti" would come at
last to experiment on the human subject.
Mr. w. Mattieu Williams has become
aware of three instances in which this
horrible prediction has been fulfilled, in
each case with the full consent of the
subject and without injury to him. Pas
teur has multiplied human skin and
moistened the blood with the poisonous
secretions of mad rabbits. DR.. B. w.
Richardson has invented a painless cut
ting-knife, and has tested it upon his own
arm. And Mr.. Harrison Branthwaite,
in the interest of temperance, has admin.
istered brandy for the purpose of testing
its thermic effects, b three classes Of per
sons-habitual drunkards, moderate
drinkers and abstainers.-Popular Sci.

There is still ample room for advance
ment and improvement in the building
of locomotives, both as to speed and
power, not taking into consideration the
question of durability. The improve
ment of the locomotive was very slow
for many years, but of late there have
been wonders accomplished in this i'm
portant branch of railroad equipment.
But few years have elapsed since the
time when statement to the effect that
an engine made speed equal to one mile
a minute would have been not only dis
credited, but scoffed at. Gradually,
however, the impression that sixty
miles an hour would never be attained
has been worn away, and locomotives
are now turned out of the works which
promise even greater achievements, some
being placed at the marvellous speed of
seventy-six to seventy-eight miles per
hour. Power has not bean neglected,
and the old, camel backs, which first
drew heavy trains over the Alleghenies,
are being supplanted by the still more
powerful Moguls. But the acme has not
yet been reached With the increased
demand for speed and power will come
the machines to meet it, perfect though
the locomotive of to-day may now
seem.-"E. H. D." in Globe-Democrat.

In Egypt, on the River Nile, as well as
in Italy, on the Pc, the custom of travel
ing for bee pasturage Is been continued
from the remotest ages TO the present
time, as there is about seven weeks diff
ference in the vegetation on the upper
and lower Nile. They use large fiat
boats holding from sixty to 100 hives Of
bees and float slowly along as the vege-
tation advances. The sinking of the
boat to certain depth in the water in
dicates when they have filled the hives
with honey.-Chicago Times.

An English naturalist remarks that it
is a sad reflection that, while the turbot
lays $4,000, 900 eggs, not more than one,
on an average, ever lives to reach ma
turity. In fish, generally, it takes yearly
at least 100, 900 eggs for each individual
to keep up the average of its species. In
frogs and amphibians, 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 two to ten eggs per
annum are quite sufficient to replenish
the earth. Among mammals, three or
four at birth is a rare number, and
many of the larger sorts produce one
calf or foal at a time only. In the hu-
man race at large a 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 savages a far
higher rate is usually necessary. In
England an average of four and half
children per family suffices to keep the
population stationsry.-Chicago Herald.

What Darwin's hypothesis suggested
was, not that man was descended from
the monkey, but that both man and
monkey may be descendants of COM
mon progenitor-a common type now
extinct, and of which no indisputable
traces have yet been found. From this
common type or ground form, so to
speak, the process of development may,
according to Darwin, have resulted in
two distinct branches or offshoots-the
one branch of development ending in
the monkey tribe, the other branch end
ing in man. 1t is, in the absence of any
certain traces of the extinct common
type or progenitor, not subject on
which to dogmatize, but is theory or
hypothesis which, in the opinion of Oar
win and many other scientists after him,
best accounts for the morphological de-
velopment of man. viewed merely from
the physical side. Chambers Journal

Action Of Sunlight on Fire.

1t is mooted question whether the
sunlight falling upon an ordinary wood
fire retards the process of combustion.
This is popular notion, and one writer
says it looks as though the fire burned
more feebly when the sun shines full
upon it. 1t is now alleged by scientific
men that there may be some influence
produced by the action of the un,-Bos-
ton Budget.

The Head Cook and His Art.

A New York head cook talks hopefully
about the condition of his art. He says
that the taste for highly spiced food a
few years ago had destroyed all discrimi-
nation, so that an artist had NO better
chance in the kitchen than bungler.
Now, however, the cooking schools and
other elevating influences have enabled
skill 70 be recognized. Chicago Herald.

Ruskin In His Young DAYS.

Mr. Ruskin gives in his recently pub

teresting details of his student years. At
a certain age he speaks of himself as

to it, fattening and wriggling itself up
the crystal ripples and in the pure sands
of the springfield of youth. "-Ex-

Pet Terrapins in a Pen.

A Georgia newspaper man visited a

confined 300 of these costly little turtles.
When their keeper raped on the pen,
they crowded about like drove of hogs,
and showed like eagerness to tackle the
feed, which was shrimps, crabs, and
small fish. New York Sun.

ohariemange'. Plea for Open Schools.

Charlemange, in 7S9, gave these wise
instructions: Let one open schools to
teach children to read; let, in every mon
astery, in every bishopric, some one
teach psalms, writing, arithmetic, gram
mar, and employ correct copies of holy
books, for often men seeking to pray to
God pray badly on account of the un-
faithfulness of copyists. Budget.

"A year ago tonight" said one of
those who watched about the Mount
McGregor cottage for the first news of
the generals death, was one of greater
suspense than marked any other all the
time we were there. 1t was the eve of
the Fourth of July and the anniversary
of Grants victory at Vicksburg. The
general had become possessed of the idea
that the day that had witnessed his first
great triumph would also be the day of
his death He had been sinking visihly
up till evening, and DR.. Douglass, partly
because he was impressed with the same
fatalistic idea. and because he feared
that his patients very expectation of
death would bring the dissolution about
was all tremble with apprehension for
the issue of the night. Toward mid
night he left the cottage, and rambling
down the mountain side | met him. He
was nervous and unstrung as though it
was his own death he feared. We lay
down on the grass in the moonlight and
talked until o'clock. The first beams
of daylight came without the dread an
gel having appeared at the cottage to
usher in the celebration Of Grants last
anniversary of Vicksburg. Grant did
not die that night. but he fully expected
to, and was complacently contented at
the prospect. "-"Uncle Bill in Chicago

Annual Decoration of His own Grave.

Stephen Kelly, of Philadelphia, is
probably the only living man who ever

that he is buried there, and Stephen

ing flowers over his suppostitious L
resting-place. Chicago Times.

Cut the fzalyards Again.

Some one has again cut the bal
yards of the spire on the State House.
This is the second time these halyards
have been cut this winter. Asit costs
the State $25 every time the halyards
are rugged, IL is a rather expensive
destruction Of property. Two theories
ard advanced--one that the miscreant

the dome, but the operator cut hole

II is probable the halyards will not
be rugged again this wiater.

Nicholas Greenberry left SOD, Chas.
