says the London World. All Glasgow is out o
town, and at such times the house windows ar
religlously brown-papered from roof to base
ment. Every one knows the exhilarating aspec

AN interesting operation is mentioned by the
Scientific american, consisting of the crowding
OF hatful of loose cotton into a tumbler filed
with alcohol without causing the latter to over
now. The success of the experiment depends
upon the slow introduction of the cotton, allow
ing the alcohol to invest the ibers by capillarty
before they are fairly plunged beneath the sur
FACE OF the alcohol. In this experiment the
penetration of the alcohol is only apparent; the
flbers dlsplace some of the alcohol, but the
quantity Is SO small as not to be observable. If
the cotton were compressed to the smallest
possible volume, it would be found to occupy
but very little space. So small body would be
incapable of raising the level of the alcohol
enough TO be appreciable by an ordinary OBJ

wonderful than the sea-serpent, if one can be-
lieve the stories told by people in the vicinity
They describe the beast as having head like an
ape and square shoulders like a human being
From the shoulders of the creature there extend
legs, or arms, which terminate in great claws
The body of the monster, which Is fully 6 feet
In length, Is of a reddish brown tint, very like
tnat OF lizard, and terminates in a tail like
that OF a fish The creatures body is bare of
any covering, but about the head and neck is a
name of reddish hair 1t is needless to say
that the county is excited over the strange ami

day in hopes of capturing the beast, but up to
the present time their endeavors have not been
crowned with success

tried by the Emperor Williams death, and by
the conflicts which necessarily prevailed during
the reign OF his successor He has lately
suffered from insomnia, and has been well dosed
with bromide of ammonia draughtS. He walks
very little, and has quite lost his appetite
Some time ago the prince ceased TO observe the
regimen prescribed 10y DR.. Schwerninger aud
he commenced TO smoke incsssantIy, and drank
ten or twelve tumblers of beer every day. These
Irregularities thoroughly upset his digestive
organs and he became fearfully irritable the
result being that DR.. Schwerninger is again in
command at Friedriohsruhe, and his patient is
confined to nourishing but very simple diet
and his only drink is a little weak whisky and
