The Fat from Sleeps Wool.

It's altogether probable that the fatty
substance obtained from the wool of
sheep-which has heretofore been treated
as waste matter, costly to get rid of,
and not worth prcscrving--will take
rank among the valuable staples of
production. In a paper read by DR..
Thomas G.. Morton before the College of
Physicians of Philadelphia, he called at
tention to the value of this substance to
the medical fraternity, on account of
its remarkable compliance to capillary
action, developed when applied to the
human skin. 1t is so easily and rapidly
absorbed that it becomes q most con-
vcnient vehicle for the introduction into
the system of other incorporated sub
stances. Being innocuous in itself, it is
an excellent base in the preparation of
all ointmcnts and ungucnts intended for
the external relief of disease. - Chicago

Animal Foes In Africa,

1.-THE most savage foes VIC have to
fear, "says Mr., Stanley, 'arc tho croco-
die, hippopotamus and the buffalo. We
lost five men during my last visit to the
Congo from these animals; three were
killed by crocodilcs, one by hippopota-
mus and one by buffalo, There are n
large number of hippopotami, and along
the Congo and its tributaries, arc thou
sands upon thousands of crocodilcs.
The latter arc the most insidious foes
We have, because they are so silent and
so swift You sec a man bathing in
the river said Mr.. Stanley, with one Of
his vivid graphic touches; che is stand
ing near the shore laughing at you, per-
haps laughing in the keen enjoyment of
his bath; suddenly he falls over and you
see him no more. A crocodile has up,
preached unseen, has struck him a blow
with his tail that knocks him over, and
he is instantly seized and carried off.
Or, it may be that the man is swimming
he is totally unconscious of danger
there is nothing in sight, nothing to stir
a trcmor of apprehension; but there, in
deep water, under the shadow of that
rock, or hidden beneath the shelter OF
the trees yondcr, is huge crocodile; it
has spotted the swimmer, and is watch
ing the opportunity; the swimmer APP
proaches; he is within striking distance
stcalthiy, silently, unpcrceived, the
creature makes for its prey; the man
knows nothing till he is seized by the
leg and dragged under, and he knows nc
more. A bubble or two indicates the
place where he had gone down, and tina,
