A Ruse That Paid.

1t has been held, how truthfully we
cannot say, that man who is fast be-
coming q slave to intoxicants can some
times be checked in his self-poisoning,
degraded course by causing him to
think he has been attacked with de-
lirium tremens, and so making him re-
alize his danger. In the following
anecdote the plan was tried, and sue
ceeded, although the deception used
cannot be recommended:
John A. was fast going the drunk
ards path. without any apparent desire
to check his downward career. When
demonstrated with his reply was "Oh,
I'm all right It'll be time enough to
stop when see signs of the d. t."
Two of his friends agreed on O plan
which should make him see signs of
the d. t."
One day they called on John, and
found him, as they knew he would be,
in his usual pitiable condition-half
drunk. Each friend had in his pocket
a rat, an animal to which John had an
aversion.
After time one OF the visitors let a
rat go, which ran over Johns feet, and
~
fore it escaped from sight.
"Ohl OIL" cried poor John, his eyes
starting from his head. "There's a rat |!
Look at it. look at it There it goes
Thank heaven, it's gonep
Nonsense, old fellow!" said one,
soothingly. whats the matter with
you?"
John soon became quiet, and the
three began talking of other things,
though the victim was observed to
glance about the room suspiciously
from time to time. When a proper
interval had elapsed, the other rat was
freed.
@Look therel" cried John, jumping
from his seat excitedly. "See that
rat"
Where, John?" asked his friends,
with apparent GOODNESS.
"There! there!" exclaimed the poor
man. "He's coming at mel" And he
jumped into chair.
"Therel there, john" said one;
you're excited Do be quietl"
"Oh, this is awful" groaned John.
and lay back in his chair with his eyes
closed. After some minutes of silence
he looked up, sobered, and said, II
don't think | saw any rats. Heavens,
what am coming to?"
Then and there the two friends per-
suaded John to reform his habits,
which he did after many struggles
with himself. Years after, when he
had become sound and safe in temper
ance principles, the two friends told
him of the ruse they had adopted to
bring him to his senses.

Color Blindness.

Prof Ramsay believes that the par
ticular defect giving rise to color-blind-
ness lies not in the eye itself, but in
the brain. Certain persons, he points
out, are incapable of judging which of
two musical tones is the higher, even
when they are more than an octave
apart. Yet, as such persons hear either
tone perfectly, the defect is not one of
deafness. He accordingly argues that
in such persons the brain is at fault,
and thence proceeds to the assumption
that it may he equally true that the in
ability to perceive certain colors is not
due to a defect in the instrument of
sight by the eye, but to tine power of
interpreting the impressions conveyed
to the brain by the optic nerve.

A Reliaious Darwinian.

Professor Asa Gray was one of Oar
wins most esteemed friends and pow
erful advocates in this country. At the
same time he never could fnd in natu-
raj selection a satisfactory cause for the
law and order he beheld so clearly in
the world. II was to him an INSULT
cient explanation, and back of it he
recognized the existence of q first
cause. His religious and scientific be-
iefs are best summarized in his own
words: II am scientifically, and in my
own fashion, Darwinisn. philosophic-
ally convinced theist, and religiously
an accepter of the creed commonly
known as the Nicene' as the exponent
of the Christian faith" His reasons
for this position were fully given in a
short course of lectures before the The
illogical School Of Yale in 1850.

An Electric PILOT.

An Austrian engineer has designed a
truck to run before every railway train,
being maintained at fixed, adjustable
distance by the force of an electric cur
rent, transmitted along the rails from
q dynamo on the engine The current
is conducted through mercury con-
tanned IN glass tubes on the pilot truck.
If The truck comes into collision the
tubes are broken and the contact de-
stroyed. The interruption OF the cur
rent instantly and automatically APP
plies the brakes on the following train.
1t is claimed by the inventor that two
expresses fitted with this system might
with impunity be set to run full tilt at
each other. The collision Of their pilot
trucks would arrest the progress OF
both trains before they could meet.
