To Make up for Infant Mortality.

The Turbot lays 100000 eggs, we'll
knowing that 13, ,999, ,999 will be eaten up
in the state of spawn or devoured by
enemies in hopeless infancy or drifted
out to sea and hopelessly lost or otherwise
somehow unaccounted for. The fewer
the casualties to which race is exposed
the smaller the number of eggs or young
which it needs to produce in order to
cover the necessary losses. In fish gen:
orally it takes at least a hundred thousand
eggs each year to keep up the average of
the species. In frogs and other amphi-
bians, a few hundred are amply sufficient.
Reptiles often lay only 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 birth is rare number,
and many of the larger sorts produce one
calf or foal at time only. In the hu'
man race at large total of FIVE or six
children for each married coupled during
a whole lifetime makes up sufficiently for
infant mortality and all other sources Of
loss, though among utter savages far
higher rate is usually necessary. In
England, an average of four will main
tain the popula.ion.-S. James Gazette

Intelligence Of the Apes.

The great man-like apes, as we'll as
some of the inferior four.handed brutes,
possess intelligence of an order that is
higher than that displayed by the dog or
elephant. Thus, it is related of one Of
the long tailed American monkeys, that,
having cut himselfonce with sharp tool,
be would not touch it again, or would
handle it with the greatest caution.
Lumps of sugar were often given him
wrapped in paper, but sometimes live
wasp was put into the package. After
this he always first held the package to
his ear before opening it in order to de-
tect any movement within. An old pig.
tailed baboon, in captivity, had habit OF
adopting small cats and dogs, which she
carried about. One of her pets. a small
kitten, scratched this creature on one oc.
casion. She seemed much astonished
and Immediately examined the kittens
feet, and without more ado bit off the
claws. In both these instances there
was a shaping of actions in accordance
with new and strange experience which
must have been the result of some sort OF
reasoning process similar to what we
ourselves are conscious of performing.
They could not have been the outcome of
instinct, for that is the product of the
experience Of the species.
The larger apes, the gibbons, chimpan-
zees, gorillas, and orang, show this same
ability to adapt means to ends, and at the
same time show affection, sorrow, com.
passion for fellow being in distress, and
sometimes consciousness of having done
wrong. In the shape of the brain these
men. like apes approach more closely to
man than any other of the brute creation.
1t must never be forgotten, however, that
although in general shape and in the ar
rangement of the elevation and burrows
upon the surface, so far as they go, there
is this striking resemblance, yet, in size
and weight their brains are widely sepa'
rated from that of man.
The heaviest brain belonging to one of
these creatures as yet examined has been
found only one.balf the weight of the
smallest healthy human brain, although
the weight of the entire body of full
grown male gorilla is nearly double that
of an everage man. Again, that of the
orang seems to be of a higher type than
that Of the others, still each of them has
some one characteristic that makes it re.
semble that of men more than does that
of either of the others. There is vast
difference between individual monkeys
regarding the amount of intelligence they
are capable Of developing under training.
This difference seems to lie in the degree
each is capable of fixing his attention.
If the attention is easily distracted there
is little hope of teaching him anything.
Their tendency to initiate is another large
factor iu teaching them new muscular
action. The orang has been observed to
display wonderful aptness in overcoming
difficulties. In fact, it is difficult to de,
ny them the possession Of some degree OF
reason: One of them wishing to open a
door, his keeper gave him a bunch of
fifteen keys; the ape tried them in turn
until he found the one he wanted.-C5r.

Chewing the Cud.

Thomas D. Baird says in the New
York Tribune: A very large tribe of
animals, of which sheep and COWS are
familiar examples, chew the cud. They
do so because their peculiar organs of
digestion require it. They can get their
perfect nourishment in no other way.
They have, it is said, four stomachs, but
the statement is not strictly correct, for
the entire digestion is done in single
one-that which is called the fourth
the other three being only places for
preparatory work. Their food is swallow
ed without being much chewed the
chewing is to come later. When this
partially chewed food is swallowed it
passes directly into the first stomach,
which serves only to soak and soften the
coarse food. When the first has done
what it can the food passes out of it into
the second, and then the COW or sheep is
ready to "chew the cud."
The second stomach while soaking the
food keeps it in motion, and gradually
rolls it up into masses so that in the
small upper part there is found an obloDg
solid lump Of the size that we recognize
as the "cud." This the animal throws
up into the mouth and chews with evil
dently as much satisfaction as the same
act of mastication gives us when we put
the most delicate morsels between our
teeth. When it is sufficiently chewed
the mass is swallowed and its place taken
by another which has been rolled up in
the meantime. But the "cud" thus mas
ticated does not return to the second
stomach from which it came; it passes
smoothly into the third, place for
additional fabrication, and then into the
fourth, where the true digestion begins
and ends.

the cause. Then, as we burn oil out, the
lightest part burns, leaves the heavy oil
and as the lamp is filled day by day, the
oil gets so heavy that the draft is not
strong enough to pump it up, when the
oil should be all turned out of the lamp,
and it reilled with fresh oil. And then
the burner, after time, gets gummed
up, and the even flow of the oil is disturb
ed, and causes a smoky, uneven light,
which is vexatious. l have often had
burners brought into my store condemn
ed, and q new one wanted, when by two
minutes work they were made as good as
new. When the wick needs cutting,
some scrape it off, others cutit so uneven
that it makes a pointy blaze which so
provokes one that he wants to condemn
it. (Ifa little reason and thought we're
used in every day life, we would soon
find that lots OF our discomforts would be
very easily overcome and banished; but
things go on in slipshod manner, year
after year, with no attempt to improve
them
But to resume, the burner is furnished
with great number of small holes to
provide air, to the end that perfect COM
bustion may take place, and not to collect
dust and dirt until they are clogged up,
and smoky, bad-smelling light is the
result. Now, if in using kerosene, we
fill the lamp up with white oil every day.
and once week empty back the oil
which is in the lamp, and use new wick,
cut even and true every week or once in
two weeks, and are sure to have the lamp
burner clean and clear. nicely polished
chimney used, ~e will find that the
kerosene lamp is cheap and great luxu'
ry, anu not, as is often the case, neces'
sary nuisance which has to be used for
lack of anything better. A little care,
daily, in using the lamp makes all the
difference between luxury and nuisance. y

Called Back to Life.

ONSET BAY, N. Y, November 1.-The
Wareham undertaken received a shock
Yesterday that will doubtless haunt him
to his dying day. He had been summon
ed h;ther from his home, which is only a
few miles from this place, to prepare
Commander B. F. Chandler, a retired
officer of the United States Navy, for the
grave. Captain Chandler lived in Wabon
avenue, at Onset Bay grove. On Wednes-
day last he was prostrated by paralytic
shock which affected one side of his body.
After suffering great pain for FIVE days he
relapsed into coma and apparent death
On Sunday he WAS lain out as dead,
and an undertaken from Wareham sent
for as above stated. Mr.. Undertaken got
his instruments together and his pot OF
chemicals preparatory to embalming the
body of the old sailor. He had scarcely
laid hands upon the latter when those
standing around noticed his hair to stand
on end.
"My God |" gasped the undertaken,
"he's coming to life"
"What's all this fuss?" exclaimed the
supposed corpse, opening his eyes and
setting up.
The undertaken dropped his instru-
ments and chemicals.
~ want something to eat" was tho
next exclamation of the old officer, who
had been supposed to have passed over to
the majority.
An oyster stew was provided and the
captain eat heartily. That night ne
slept we'll and his physician, who, 1t IS
said, had pronounced hi"l head, was
sanguine of his recovery.
This afternoon, however, the x.com-
mandcr was prostratcd again by shock
more severe than the former, and from
which he was unable to rally. The
heart became still and the physician and
friends are now satisfied that the old
naval officer has sunk into an everlasting

Problem for Atheists.

Ifyou meet with an atheist, do'not let
him entange you into the discussion OF
side issues. As to many points which be
raises, you must learn to make the Rab-
bis answer, II do not know" But ask
him these seven questions:
First, ask him. Where did matter come
from? Can dead thing create itself?
Second, ask him, Where did motion
come from?
Third, ask him, Where did life come
from save from the fnger-tip of Omnipo'
tence?
Fourth, ask him, whence came the
exquisite order and design in nature ?
If one told you that millions Of printers
types should fortuitously shape them
selves into the divine comedy of Dante
or the plays of Shakespeare, would you
not think him a madman?
Fifth, ask him, From whence came
consciousness?
Sixth, ask him, Who gave you free
will?
Seventh and last, ask him, Whence
came conscience?
He who says there is no God in the
face of the question talks simply stupen
dous nonsense.-C Cannon Earrar.

Judge of the Seventh judicial district, and
while sincerely believing in the wisdom of the

The convention then passed resolution
to go into executive session and the hall
was cleared of all save delegates. The
proceedings were secret, but it has come to
the surface that Judge Rand, representing
A. A. Ames. appeared by permission and
addressed the convention. He presented
A LETTER FROM DIR. AMES
in which he said that it was believed that
it would be for the best Interests of the
party in the state at large that no nOmina-
ton for congress be made in the Fifth dis
trict. He disclaimed any design or diSpO-
sition to dictate to the convention, but upon
consideration it was thought best by those
familiar with the political situation that
nomination in this district would inure to
the injury of the state ticket. The con-
vention deliberated with evident interest
and accepted the advice of the managers
of the gubernatorial canvass and passed
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we deem it ineXpedient at
this time TO make nomination for congress.
Resolved, That Hon. r. s. Wilkinson, of
Polk county, enjoys the full confidence and
respect of the Democrats of the Fifth con-
gressional district, and that he would be the
unanimous choice of this convention as our
candidate for congress if we regarded NOM
ination at this time as desirable.

PHYSICIANS and Surgeons.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-The repre-
sentatives of the medical and surgical So
cieties of the United States met at the Army
Medical museum to-day and effected a tenn
porary organization by the election of DR..
Busy, of this city. chairman. The work
was all preliminary, as the subject in hand
was to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of arrang-
ing for regular meetings in Washington of
the various medical and surgical societies.
A proposition was submitted that it was
desirable to form congress of the
societies represented. 1t was decided
to form such congress and it
was agreed to constitute an executive COM
mittee of one representative from each So
ciety of the union favoring the project, and
that this committee should decide the time
for meetings in WashingtOn; also that at
these regular meetings the principal order
of business should be an address by the
president and then the presentation of orig
inal essays for discussion. 1t was decided
that all meetings shall be held in Washing
ton, but the remaining details will be left to
the executive committee. Each repre-
sentative will report back to his society,
and if it approves the plan it will elect a
member.
