A Oneer Pair Of Smiths.

The difficulty of meeting the dietetic
requirements Of certain pets reminds me
of another pair of lizards that in turn in
habited the bell glass. These were
brought from Brazil, and introduced to
me by the name of Talaquira Smith. An
or two should terminate and dignity
the latter name, to commemorate the par
ticular Smith who bestowed it on Tara
quira; but Smith is simple and practical;
and the Tarraquira Smiths was,the name
of my two little Braziians lizards. The
smaller one measured about eight inches
from the snout to the tip of his slender
tall the larger one was ten or more
inches in length. They are, however,
less agreeable to handle than the previ-
Gus pets, their tails being armed with
very finely pointed sharp scales in whorls.
The lizards seem to know how to use this
long tail protectively, having acquired
habit of retrogression, and, when held,
of backing out of the hand, as if with
the intention of pricking or inconvenien-
cling you with these sharp spines, which
are thus converted into weapons of de-
fence. When persistently held or de-
tanned, the pricking effect cansed by this
backward motion is by no means agree
able. For food, they were provided with
a supply of peculiar kind of cockroach
which infested the reptile house at the
Geological Gardens of London, near
which l happened to reside; but my two
little foreigners persistently declined
them and any other equally tempting
food Indeed, the poor little Smiths
were in such feeble condition from ex-
posure to cold during their transfer from
the ship to their glass home that the
smaller one soon died = ChamJers's Jour

Life in q Planet.

Some time ago 1t was observed that, sit
uated at each pole of Mars there is white
patch which increases and decreases at
regular intervals. This had been observed
for many years before the explanation
was suggested by Herschel, that it was
due to the freezing of the sea, and was
exactly analogous to our Arctic and Ant
arctic oceans. If this was true, the patch
of ice would of course decrease in the
martial summer and increase again as the
winter came on. This was soon shown
to be fact Thus we see that as far
as regards the sea, Mars is very similar
to our earth, with the exception that the
proportion of land is much larger. On
the earth the land is only about ne-third
of the area of the sea; while on Mars the
land and sea surfaces seem to be about
equal in extent. The land is much cut
up by the water, which exists not so
much in the form of few large oceans,
but rather as a number of curious shaped,
narrow inlets and channels which inter
sects the continents in all directions.
The bright red color of the land is a Gu
rious fact, for which no adequate explain
alton has as yet been suggested
! Herschel considered it was due TO the pc
culiar nature of the soil; but it certainly
seems curious that in this point Mars
should differ from all the other planets.
The appearance of the earth seen from a
similar distance would probably be a
dilty green, or perhaps brown. In fact,
on the earth we have no soil or rock,
which occurs in any quantity, of the red
color which we observe on Mars. There
is therefore no vegetation, unless we
adopt the curious theory. advanced by
a French savant, that in Mars the foliage
is red. Unluckily, we have no instru-
ment that can at all help us here; the
telescope and spectroscope are alike use
less, and for the present we must content
ourselves with vain conjectures. - Cham

Tarred Floors.

Some months ago the floors of many
Austrian garrisons were painted with
tar and the results have proved so uni
formly advantageous that the method is
becoming greatly extended in its appli-
cation. The collection of dust in cracks
is thus prevented, and a consequent dim
mutton in irrtative diseases of the eye
has been noted. Cleaning Of the rooms
has been greatly facilitated, and para
sites are almost completely excluded.
The coating of tar is inexpensive, re-
quires renewal but once yearly, and pre-
sents but one disadvantage, viz, its SOM
Der color. .-MedicdL Nelos.

Wanted Both Killed.

A railroad trial story is t>ld in this
wise. Two passengers appeal to the
conductor; one wants window sash up
and the other insists on keeping it down.
Says No Two: IF that window is not
shut it viii be the death of me, for I'm
about perished with cold now" and to
that No. One replies: 'If the window
is shut I'll smother in the foul air Of this
car" When the conductor looked
around in sorely puzzled sort Of way,
passenger in rear seat called out
"Conductor tho e two fellows have beer
growing about that window for fifty
miles, and now hope for the peace ano
comfort Of the train youll keep the win
dow open long enough to kill one and
then shut it long enough to smother tfs
other"

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Thomas Edison is going to experiment
with earth currents, which he thinks
may revolutonize telegraphy. He says,
sooner or later, telegraph wires will be q
thing of the past.
Careful experiments by Mr.. Joseph
Jastrow show that the evidence obtained
in favor of a magnetic sense" "a per-
ception of the mysterious force of mag
nets-is unreliable. The sense does not
exist.

1t is not generally known that coal
which remains in store perfectly dry is
rendered less valuable on that account,
yet such is the fact. Most coal mines

wall of ice some five hundred feet in
thickness, its breadth varies from three
to ten miles, and it is about $50 miles
long. Almost every quarter of an hour
hundreds of tons of ice in large blocks
fall into the sea, which they agitate in
the most violent manner, the waves being
such as to toss about the largest vessels
that approach the glacier as if they were
small-boats. The ice is extremely pure
and dazzling to the eye, and has tints of
the lightest blue as well as of the deepest
indigo. The top is very rough and
broken, forming small hills, and even
chains of mountains in miniature.

A great many people are afflicted with ca
tarrh who do not know what ails them; and
a great many more continue sufferers who
might be cured,
Thickening of the membrane which lines
the nasal passages, thus making breathing
difficult; discharge from the nostrils, more
or less copious, watery or thick, according to
the stage of the disease; a sense Of fullness in
the head; a constant inclination TO spit; and,
in advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dis
gusting matter into the throat, are few of
the prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness, infamed eyes, neuralgia pains,
sore throat and loss of sense of smell are
very often caused by Catarrh.
All these troubles are cured by Pisos Rem
edy for Catarrh. Relief is had Immediately
after begi1ning its use, but it is important
that IL be continued without interruption until
the catarrhal virus Is expelled from the sys-
tenn and healthy secretions replace the dis
eased action Of the mucous membrane. Man
ifestly it is unreasonable to expect cure in a
short time of a disease that has been progress
ing for months or years.
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. Itis
so concentrated that very small dose is di-
rected. The quantity in one package is suffi-
cient for q long treatment, consequently the
expense is mere trife, and there is no excuse
for neglect nor reason for Ii but forgetfulnes S.
A cold in the head is relieved by an applica-
tion of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. The oom-
fort to be got from it in this way is worth
many times the cost.
The following letters are specimens Of those
received every day, tesiifying to the worth OF
Pisos Remedy for Catarrh:

Animals poctoring Themselves.

A French physician and savant says
that animals are as good practitioners of
medicine as majority of the human
species, and that in hygiene man may
take a lesson from them. Elephants,
stags, birds and ants wash themselves or
bathe. Some animals get rid of parasites
by the use of dust, mud or clay. Those
suffering from fever restrict their diet,
keep quiet, seek darkness and airy places,
drink water. and sometimes plunge
into it.
If dog loses his appetite, he eats
''dog's grass" Sheep when i'll seek out
certain herbs, and puss also finds an
emetic or purgatlve in certain species
of grass or herbs. When a dog is con-
stipated, he eats fatty substances with
avidity. An animal suffering from rheu-
matism keeps in the sun. The warrior
ants have ambulances, and when an in
vestigator cut the antenne of an ant,
other ants covered the wound with a
transparent fluid, from their mouths.
A wounded chimpanzee stops the bleed
ing of a wound by placing leaves
and grass on the wound. A dog
on being stung on the muzzle by a viper,
plunged his head repeatedly for several
days in running water, and recovered. A
sporting dog was run over by carriage.
During three weeks in winter he re-
mained lying in brook, where his food
was taken to him, and he also recovered.
A terrier dog hurt his right eye. He re-
mained lying under a counter, avoiding
light and heat, although he had previ-
ousy been in the habit of keeping close
to the fire, He rested, abstained from
food, licked his paw, and applied it to
the wounded eye.

The reason that milk boils more quickly
than water is because it is thicker LIQUID
and consequently less heat is carried off
by evaporation of steam; therefore the
heat of the entire mass will rise more
rapidly, Again, there is thin skin

milk, which of course confines the steam
and increases the heat.
