As plants do not live in the deep sea,
the deep-sea animals either prey ON one
another or get tleir food from dead or
ganism and plants which sink down to
them. Thus Maury says: The sea,
like the snow-cloul with its flakes in
calm, is always letting fall upon its
bed showers of microscopic shells. "
And experiment proves that tiny
shell would take about week to fail
fr m the surface to the deepest depths.
Since sunlight does not penetrate
much far her than the littoral zone,
there would be beyond this perpetual
darkness except for phosphorescence.
Many of the animals inhabiting the
continental and abyssal zones have
merely rudimentary eyes. But these
blind creatures have very long feelers,
which help them to gropa their way
along the bottom. Other deep sea
animals, on the contrary, have enor-
nous eyes, and these very likely con-
gregate around such of their number
as are phosphorescent, and may per-
haps follow the moving lamp-posts
about wherever they go. And so bright
is this light on many of the fish brought
up by the dredge that during the brief
s ace the animals survive it is not diff
cult to read by il.
The reason why fishes and molluslzs
living more than three miles under
water are able to bear pressure of
several tons is that they have exceed
ingly loose tissues, which allow the
water to flow equasy through every in
terstice and thus to equalize the weight.
When the pressure is removed they
perish. In the Challenger expeditions,
sent out by the British Government, all
the sharks brought up from depth of
a little less than three-quarters of a mile
were dead when they got to the surface.

The History of Tobacco.

1t is asserted that tobacco was in use
in China from the earliest times, but We
have no certain knowledge that this
was the case. II it was so, the knowl-
edge of the plant and uses have
been carefully guarded by the CHI nese,
for it was not introduced into any other
Oriental nation until after its discovery
in America. When Columbus first land
ed on the island of San Domingo, in
the West Indies, he found tobacco in
use among the natives there, who
smoked it when made in small cylin-
drical rolls aad wrapped in maize leaf.
The Indians on the continent smoked
it in a pipe, and amcng all the tribes
from Peru to Upper Canada the first
discoveries found the plant to be in
use, and to have been known to them
from so early period that the time Of
its first discovery was unknown. The
smoking of tobacco with the Indians
partook largely of the nature of a
religious rite. The seeds of the tobac-
co plant were first brought to Europe
by Gonzalo Hernandez de Oyiedo, who
introduced it into Spain, where it WAS
cultivated as an ornamental plant, till
a traveller who had noted its use among
American Indians called attention TO
its narcotic properties. The name is
said to have been taken from Tabacco,
q proviace of Yucatan, though others
derive it from T5bago, an island in the
Caribb an Sea, and yet others from
Tobasco, in the Gulf OF Florida. The
practice of smoking tue dried leaf be-
came general in Spain, and its manu-
facture into snuff followed soon after.
1t was introduced into Italy in 1860,
and about the same time into France.
The first to bring the seeds of the
plant into the latter country was Jean
Moot. the French Ambassador to Por-
tugal, in whose honor tobacco received
its botanical name nicotiano whence the
nama nicotine, applied to poisonous
extract from the plant. Tobacco is said
to have been first introduced into En-
gland by Sir Walter Raleigh. From
tn Sc beginnings the use of the weed
spread over the entire eastern con-
tinent 1t did not become known in
Asia until the seventeenth century, but
was taken up by the Oriental nations
with great eagerness, and they are now
the greatest smokers in the world

How the Tiger Eats.

A Hindoo expert on tigers has re-
Gently read before the Bombay Nat
ural History Society paper discussing
the manner in which that animal seizes
ana eat, his prey. Mr.. Inverarity, the
expert in ques ton, had never been
eaten by tiger himself, but he had
seen good many other men and ami
mails devoured. and seems to be COM
petent critic of the table etiquette of
the tiger. 1t may please persons who
may contemplate being eaten by tiger
to know that the process is not bloody
one. The tiger, Mr.. Inverarity saws,
always seizes its prey by the throat and
kills it, probably by pressure on the
windpipc. 1t is only by accident, or
when in great hurry, that the tiger,
in killing, sewers any important vein or
artery, and no blood to speak of flows
from the wounds. The tiger always
begins his meal on the headquarters,
ana eats his way along toward the head.
The stomach and accompanying organs
it removes some little distance off, and
leaves arranged in a neat pile.
An ordinary-sized tiger and tigress
will finish COW or such animal at one
sitting | aving only the head The
tigress begins at the shoulders and eats
downward When their heads come
together at the middle of the animal
they know there is no more left, and
quit eating. Before eating, the tiger
drags its prey short distance. After
the meal the tiger som etimes lies down
by the skeleton, but il there are hills
in the neighborhood it will probably go
off and find cool spot for its nap. If
anything has been LETT, the tiger will
return the next night TO eat it, but it
never makes the second meal on the
same spot as the first, always dragging
the body short distance away.
The tiger can eat half bullock in
two hours. Once Mr.. Inverarity sat in
n tree two hours and forty-five minutes
while tiger was lunching off COW
beneath him. 1t was small tiger,
too. Tigers will also eat each other if
it is more convenient than to hunt up
other provisions. They are suppose d
to kill only once in five or six days,
and, in fact, do probably sleep and doze
for several days after they have gorged
themselves; but they will kill when
ever they get a chance, and it is on
record that one tiger killed for four
teen consecutive nights. They will
wander immense distances at night, al
ways taking the easiest paths and fire.
quently travelled roads on that account.
They move about little in daytime, be-
cause the hot ground burns their feet.
Tigers can climb trees. Mr.. Inverarity
tells of one in Salsette that climbed
after a certain man named Pandoo;
but, not reaching him, went away.
Pandoo waited awhile, and then came
down and started for home, but on the
way the tiger came up with him and
killed him. The native jury at the in
quest reported "that Pandoo died of
the tiger eating him. There was no
other cause of death. Nothing was left
except some fingers, which probably
belonged to the right or loft hand. -
