The Cancels Humps.

Grant Allen in Popular Science Monthly.
StructuralIy, of course, the humps are
nothing-mere humps of fat, collected
under a convenient fold of the skin, and
utterly unprovided for i'll the framework
of the skeleton When the animal is at
its best and well fed, they are full and
plump, standing MP on his back firm and
upright; but on a long journey they are
gradually absorbed to keep up the fires
that work the heart and legs, and in the
caravan camelS which arrive ut the
coast the skin hangs over, an
empty bag, upon the creatures TANKS
bearing witness to the scarcity of eNter-
nal food during the course of his long
forced march from the interior. A
starved small camel i'll this state of
nealth far more closely resembles Peru
ian llama than anyone who has only
4een the fine, well kept beasts in the
European menageries or geological gar
dens could really imagine.
But water is even scantier in the desert
than food, and against want of water,
therefore, the camel has had to provide
himself, functloaally, ut least, if not
structurally, quite as much rs against
want of heritage. His stomach
has accordingly acquired the pow
er of acting as an internal
reservoir, and he can take in as much
water at the bahrs or ways, where he
rests for awhile on his tOilsome march,
as Will supply his needs for four or five
days together. There are some differ
ences i'll this respect, however, between
the two chief varieties OF the camel. The
African kind is most abstemious and best
adapted to sandy deserts; the Bactrian,
product of more varied and better
watered country, is larger and stronger,
but less patient of hunger and thirst,
while at the same time it can manage to
suhsist and to make its way into some-
what rocker and more rugged country.

carbonic acid is concerned, more de-
terioration of the atmosphere of q room
than would be caused by the presence Of
eight individuals
1t is, of course, to be understood that
these consequences are based upon the
conditions that would refIlt if the con-
Illuminated atmosphere were suffered to
remain in the rooms unchanged. They
are merely adduced- for the purpose of
showing how important.it is that suff-
GENTLY enlarged idea of the yitiation
caused by artificial illumination should he
formed in order that adequate means
should be taken for the removal of the
noXious products. 1t is perfectly posi-
bic so to ventilate the gas burners as not
only TO cause the carbonic aga and other
substance formed by combustion to
escape, but also to aid in the abstraction
of other matters injurious to health,
which are present in the air OF ali inhab-
tied apartments. Still, nothing in the
way of ventilation is more efficacious
than doors and windows provided they
are not always kept closed) and open
iireplaces. Houses should be so heated
in winter that all inside doors can be left
open the greater part of the day.

So far as l personally am concerned l
am positively forced TO get up and stretch
myself and walk around to ease my legs
When | sit in an ordinary theater chair
my knees touch the seats in front and 1
am obliged to hold my legs at right an
giles during the whole hour that the play
lasts. There is no possibility of stretch
ing your legs out in front of you or to the
side. In such seats as they have in
some theaterS another horror Is added
TO these by placing board under the
back of the row of chairs reach
ing from the floors up to the seat.
This is to prevent people from putting
theTr. feet under the seats in front.
Two Sttle holes are bored III these boards
for an. unfortunate man to put his toes

thirteen weeks in the Emigrant hospital

Little Edith was born September :,
and was only fourteen inches long
weighing a little over two pounds.
She could not have lived under the
ordinary treatment of babies, SO that the
incubator method was tried and has
proved successful. The baby has grown
six inches in length, and now weighs six
pounds. DR.. Thomas, superintendent of
the hospital told the mother yesterday
that Edith was strong enough to stand
the strain of travel and Agnes started at
once for Birmingham, this state, where
her sister lives. Everyone in the hospi-
tai was 10th to have the baby leave. All

Marriages of jew and Gentle.

Marriages between Jews and Gentiles
are occasionally heard of in this city, and
one of our orthodox Hebrew American
fellow citizens has expressed the appre-
hension felt by his people of the result of
this admixture Of races. He says that
the danger 10 He6raism is far greater in
the United States than III any country Of
Europe In social life, as well as i'll mer-
camille, Jews and Gentiles 4aingle here as
they 90 nowhere else. They visit each
other ut their homes; they often belong
to the same societies; they are often
partners III business: the boys and girls
of both races form acquantances and
friendships in the pfblie schools. The
consequences are occasionally seen in
those matrimonial alliances OF which COM

ants of Abraham. The rabbits are doing
