Transmission of Diphtberia.

DR.. De la Roche believes that diphtheria
can be transmitted from animals to man He
has had under his care two women suffering
from diphtheria, which he thinks he has
traced to the contamination Of drinking
water from cistern by the excrement of
pigeons, which had been washed down by the
rain from the roof on which these birds had
perched. Admitting the possibility of the
transmission of diphtheria in this manner,
tho means of combating it are simple In
places where spring water and well water
are not available, or where the supply con-
sists of rain water collected in cisterns, it is
well to limit pigeon breeding, and to con-
struct dove cotes as far away as possible from
dwelling houses.-Science.

waterspout which burst on the Batcombe
hills, in Dorset, and sent destructive tor
rent Of water through the valley below, a 10
cal journal mentions touching instance Of
canine affection which occurred at g farm
ward. A collie, with a puppy, was chained
to G. kennel. When the food entered the
ward the mother seized the puppy in her
mouth and lifted it above the water. The
chain, however, was not long enough to al
low the dog to swim. and as the water
rose the dog and the puppy were gradually
drowned, the mother trying to the very last
to save the life of her offspring. When the
water subsidized the puppy was still in the

measuring 5 feet by ~ inches in diameter
was discovered almost completely filed with

noting Q years growth, were counted, tha
outer bari. being, too, without a flaw. The
hollow was Of uniform size throughout, and
presented the appearance OF having been
bored with auger, and, great though its
dimensions were, it was practically filed with
the comb, proving that the bees must have
been in possession for several years.
Empty combs of the queen bee also showed
that they had swarmed. How the bees got
there can only De guessed; but it is surmised
that a squirrel once occupied a decayed hole
il the tree, cleared away the decay, occupied
the cavity as its home and there died. Then
the bees entereI into possession and filed the
hole with comb when by some means the en-
trance, which must have been small, became
stopped, the large quantity Of grub and fly
being taken as demonstrative that the nest
was not voluntarily deserted Then for fifty

American Farm Notes.
Sob Hi was electrified by
an "original romance" few
evenings ago. A merry com
pany was assembled, among
whom were a number of bright
children, who were encouraged
in their untutored ways Tor 4
while. Finally, some one sug-
gested that the game Of telling
stories should be started, which
consisted in some one starting \
ls.ory and stopping at a critical
point, when some other one
should tlke it up and carry it
on stage further, adding such
| incidents as should be deemed
necessary to make the story go.
\ seIni-apocryphal tale, relat-
| ny to Adam and LilIth, was
started and carried on until the
aforesaid Adam aud Lilith had
NUM- erless domestic disasters
eliminating III the loss OF all
their children. At this point
it was taken up by bri ght boy
of eight or nine years old, who
continued the story thus:
"And Adam and Lilith felt
awful bad when they found
that thci" children were all
dead. Ard Adam said: Let's
nave some more. So they went
to work and i'll two weeks they
had two pairs of twins"
There was a moment of as
tonished silence at this point In
the narration, and then, after a
vain attempt to repress it, an
explosion that nearly raised
the roof. And it will be several
years before that particularly
bright boy will know why his
addition to the story Caught
