Tho Multiplication of NIonads.

It is little curious that the report of Dr. Dallinger's experiments with monads, pub lished in The Royal Microscopical Journal, has been so generally passed over in silence in the more popular records of scientific ln- vestigation. There was nothing of con- troversial character in Dr. Dallinger's un- dertaking. A learned and jealous mem- ber' of the Royal society, he merely wished to see whether the monad, the smallest and lowest embodiment of animal life visible to even the aided sight of man, could be trans muted into new and more advanced species. In thus doing he carried into effect Darwin's own suggestion that by 'fwatching the lowest and least visible organisms' we can alone ''actually observe and demonstrate the man. ner in which living creatures adapt them selves by outward and inward notifications to changed circumstances, and so produce what are called new species"
 The monads with which Dr. Da1linger car ried on his processes are not spontaneously generated, for there is evidence, that need not be considered here, of their regular gen. eration. The little creatures live, on an average, about four minutes, SO that during the observers ten years of persevering labor and vigilant watching he must have wit messed the birth, maturity and death of about half a million generations.-s'J.

CHAPTER xxx.


 Down the familiar road which we have traversed before in our visits to Greystone school, there was coming at this hour, and walking with brisk steps, which ever and anon shot up twirl of dust, no less per sonage than Dr. Isaac Shaw. sa .-. .- This was an uncommonly early hour for Dr. Shaw to be found outside his school; for here was not a man to be courted from dis cipline by the sweetness of early morning air.
 As he approached the bottom of the hill and neared the houses, his step slackened and took yet more dignifed moderation of gesture. ...
 When at the bottom of the street, he paused a momant to inspect the wooden house of the shipwright, which looked shyly toward him through it's green drapery.
 With an uneasy glance around him, such as a man might cast who wishes to effect an object without detection, the doctor crossed the road and knocked hurriedly on the door of the wooden house There are many kinds of bad servants; but the worst kind of servant is the servant who keeps you waiting on the door step.
 Had this door flown open under the doc tors hand, uplifted to catch the knocker, still something of promptitude would have been missing. For nothing was plainer than that Dr. Shaw had no wish to be seen stand ing on that threshold. At last came Polly and saluted him with a dirty stare.

The Growth Of Children.

The rule of growth is that a child
should increase tgo pounds in weight
for every inch in'heighl between three
and four feet, and two and a half
pounds for every inch between four
and five feet A remarkable fact is
that the boys at the public schools and
young men al the universities. and
entering the public service, here called
the upper classes, average about three
inches taller, and from six pounds TO
twenty pounds heavier, than boys in
the board schools and young appren.
tices and workmen. Two causes may
be assigned for this; first. heredity;
and secondly, favorable surroundings.
Deficient and improper food. town air,
laborious work at early ages, all stunt
the growth. Every one knows how a
change from close town TO free coun.
try life, with plenty of exercise. stimu.
lates growth. A good rule for pre-
dieting future height is that if five feet

short Essay on Wrinkles.

1t is customary to say that wrinkles
come from worrying, but the truth is
most of them come from laughing.
To know how to laugh is Just as inn
portant as TO know when TO do il. II
you laugh with the sides of your face
the skin will work loose in time and
wrinkles will form in exact accord
ance with what kind Of laugh you
have. The man who always wears a
smirk will have a series of semi-circu-
lar wrinkles covering his cheeks.
When a gambler, who has been ac-
customed 70 %supprcssing his feelings,
laughs, a deep line forms On each side
Of his nose and runs TO the upper
corner of his mouth. In time this
line extends 10 his chin and assumes
the shape Of a half moon. A cadaver,
Gus person with a waxlike skin is very
apt To have two broadly marked
wrinkles, one running up from the
jaw and the other under the eye.
These meet at right angles at the
checkbone and look ms though they
formed a knot ut the apex. The
scholars wrinkles form ON his brow,
while the scheming politicians come
round lis eyes, whcro they look forgll
tho world like the spokcs Of a wheel,

The Pigeon Flyers.

Birds are susceptible to training, as
we all know, but il really taxes our
credulity TO believe the stories told by
Charles Frederick Holder about the
pigeons of Modena in his new book,
tx Frozen Dragon and Other Tales"
But they are strictly true for all that.
Read what he says: A traveller in
Modena observed a youth in a pictur-
esque costume leaning out of the win
dow Of a stone tower, his face show
ing every evidence of excitement and
pleasure. In his hand he bore a long
staff, upon the end of which vas a
colored flag, with which he seemed to
be signaling TO some m in the dis
lance. The traveller soon distinguished
several other figures on the roofs Of
various houses in the vicinity, all OF
whom seemed to be answering the sig.
mails. Finally all the flags were with
drawn but that held by n man. He
stationed himself upon an eminence
on the roof, raised his staff high above
his head, and from about his feet
sprang into the air a vast flock OF
birds. Up they rose, higher and
higher into the heavens, waving and
turning. the morning sun g~listening
upon their varied colors as they eX'
posed themselves in different positions
10 its rays.
When almost out OF sight they
turned. and "A meteor of wings came
rushing down with a roaring sound,
and nearing the housctops again
alighted about the tall figure ola the
lofty roof. Hardly had this been done
when another figure rose and another
flock dlrted upward. These were pure
white, aud rcsembled necks Of silvcry
cloud as they swept about These
maneuvers were repeated two or three
times, the birds always rctueliug IN
obedience to the waving Of the flags.
In Mulena there are fully 100 tl1cks
Of these pigeons, composed of several
hundred birds each, and they have
beer bred and trained from the earliest
times. They understand and obey the
signals just as soldiers do on the field
of battle Sometimes ths whistle i.
used as a signal instead of the flag,
and they obey that too. Philadelphia

Work of Insect Undertakes.

Nearly every one is familiar with
the burying beetle, and many have,
perhaps, watched its operations. No.
ticing that dead moles and other small
animals laid on the loose ground soon
disappeared, Professor Gleditsch OIL
cluded to investigate the cause. Ac-
cordingly, he placed a mole in the
garden, and on the morning of the
third day found it buried some three
inches below the surface. Though
wondering why this service was per-
formed for the dead mole, yet, as he
saw only four beetles under the car
cass, he reburied it and in six days
found it overrun with maggots. 1t
was not until then that the thought
struck him that these maggots were
the offspring of the beetles he had seen.
and that they performed the burial
rites in order to provide a place to de-
post their eggs, where the newly
hatched young might have food for
their nourishment.
Continuing his observations. Mr..
Gleditsch placed four of these beetles
under a glass case, with two dead
frogs. One pair buried the first frog
in twelve hours, and on the third day
the second one was similarly disposed
of. The professor then gave them a
dead linnet, and pairof the beetles set
TO work 10 bury il. They pushed out
the dirt from beneath the body; then
the male drove the female away and
worked alone for about five hours,
turning the linnct around in a more
convenient position, and occasionally
mounting the body to tread it down.
After resting for an hour il proceeded
rs before, alternately excavating and
pulling the bird from below. and then
treading il down from above. Ii was
buried by the end of the third day.
In fifty days the four beetles had

Wild Dog Of Aksam.

Wherever dogs run wild, as in Aus
tralia and in India, they show many
of the characteristics OF wolves. They
have a similar habit of hunting in
packs. The people of Assam tell won
derful stories of the cunning and sa-
gacity of these wild hounds when in
pursuit Of game.
They say that when a pack goes out
To hunt, al old dog goes in front and
searches for fresh scent Of a deer.
Having found this, he starts off alone,
and when he has ascertained the
whereabouts Of the quarry returns TO
the pack, which he then disposes in a
circle of a mile in diameter round it;
each member Of the pack has u part
allotted TO him.
These precautions having been
taken, the old general starts alone
once Eloro in search Of the victim,
and ON finding gives chase. The start
led deer OF course flies from his enemy,
who follows, giving tongue ass signal
TO the rest Of the pack. The deer, far
outstripping the dog, rushes on, but is
suddenly met in front by oLc Of the
outlying dogs, who gives chase. The
deer, Of course, turning ~ the right
or left, again rushcs of, only " bo
met and turned by another dog.
Thus, turned at every point, the
poor animal becomes more aud more
exhausted, while tho pack gradually
closes in upon il, leaving no avenue
of escape, and dozens OF sharp fangs
oon feast on the victim which has in
this way been run 10 death. Youths
