Sunburn without Heat.

IrOnwOrkers, glassWOrkers and
Others are constantly exposed to a
heat 1902 or 5000 F, and yet do not
become burned, and there can be
little doubt that the enormous
radiation from heated rocks and
valleys, in additiOntO the direct rays
OF the sun, make up an amount of
heat far greater that is ever expert
enced on even d very sunny snow
slope, and yet one does not become
sunburned. No doubt the surface
Of the snow reflects and disperses
much heat, but certainly far less than
it receives, as heat, rays are absorbed
and rendered latent by the snow
melting and evaporation. Expert
ence fully cOrrObOrates this. for one
may lie on ones back and freely ex-
pose the face for long periods to the
sun and yetremain unburned. There
must therefore, be some other factor
in sunburn than heat alone.
In discussing the subject with Prof.
Tyndall ne added the very interesting
and sig'nificantfact that he was never
more burned on snow than while ex-
perimenting with the electric light
at the North FOreland lighthouse,
where there was no heat sufficient to
produce such an effect.
I am aware that sometimes, IN
peculiar conditions Ofthe atmosphere,
the direct suns rays will burn. I
have met with some singular in
stances where several persons have
been burned on the same day, even
in England, who had never previously
suffered in that way. am further
aware that sometimes not always,
in a dead calm on a ships deck, one
may be severely sunburned, and that
in boating the samemay occasionally
happen.
Masks and wells have long been
used as a protection on snow, and
are more or less successful, brown
wells and glasses in my experience
being the most efficient. As bearing
up this I may mention that a friend
of mine, after an ascent on snow, and
had an enormously swollen face, and
observed that in the general swelling
there were many pits and depressiOns,
and that each pit correspondent to a
freckIe. The irritating rays had been
intercepted by the brown color of the
freckle.-Nature

Il should like to make your flesh
creep is the involuntary thought of
one Who essays to describe the Indian
cOckroach. Who that has been in
India does not know the fat, shining,
il-savOred cof1ee-colored thing, seen
only in dimly-Hghted places, the eyes
staring out Of the head, the long, ev-
er-mOying feelers, the swift, uncertain
movements, the sudden, uncontrolled
fight when he dashes, perhaps, into
your face, and Tor a brief and hOrri-
bic moment his clammy legs cling to
your skin? What a life you must
lead! Ever in cowardIy terror of his
life, his perpetual instinct is to hide
himself. From some dark corner he
glares at you with guilty eye. As he
darts from place to place he knows
you viii kill him if you can, and he
knows he deserves to be killed. Even

that in the greatpassenger steamers

seldom seen. The home of his heart
is the hold of the ship whose course

Shall We Eat Whale.

Salt Dust Of the Sea.

While vOyaging from Australia to
New Zealand, one of the passengers,
a lady, complained that the dust OF
the sea caused her eyes to smart, and
had also sOiled her clothing. She
was laughed at by the other passen-
gers, who insisted there could be no
dust at sea.
''They were mistaken, says Mr.. NJ.
BaIlou, who tells the incidents in a
book of travel. ''There is a salt dust
which rises from the spray, and i'm
pregnates everything, even filing
ones mouth with a saline taste.
While the sun shines, this deposit,
like the dew on land, is less active
and percephble; but to walk the deck
at night is to become covered with a
thin coating OF salt dust so thin as
to be hardly noticeable, but which In
time becomes sufficiently cRystalized
to be obvious to the eye. The dust

who stands his night watch on the

The City of Quito.

If it were not for the climate, Quito
would be in the midst of a perpetual
pestIence; but Notwithstanding the
prevailing flthiness, there is very
little sickness. and pulmonary diseases
are unknown. Mountain fever. pro
duced by cold and torpid liver. is the
cOmmOnest type of disease. The
population Of the city, however, is
gradually decreasing, and is said to
be now about sixty thousand. There
we're five hundred thousand people at
Quito when the Spaniards came, and
u hundred years ago the population
was reckOned at double what it now
is. Half the houses in the town are
empty, and to see a new family
moving in would be a sensation.
Most of the finest residences are lock-
ed and barred, and haveremainad so
Tor years. The owners are usually
political eNiles, who are living else
where, and can neither sell nor rent
their property. Political revolutions
are so common, and the results are
always so disastrous to the unsuccess-
ful, that there Is q constant stream
OF fugiGves leaving the state.

WaIes as an Epicure.

Many anecdotes are current of the
Prince Of Wales recent visit to Cam

vice chancellor, who is also master of
St Johns, sent for the college cook
a few days before the great function
was to come off, and told him to pre-
pare the best menu his genius would
enable him to draw up. The cook
sent IN a card with eighteen courses,
which was sent to the princes secre-
tary with the request that he would
show the prince. The story runs
that the menu was sent back with

so far as it went, but that it would
be all the better if two special dishes,
