ArscnicaI Pannr.

Although much has been written on
the subject of arsenical wall papers and
textile fabrics, it would appear that the
custom of employing poisonous colors is
by no means thing of the past. The
public analyst of Paddington has recently
published some information upon this
subject. lie has examined, he tells us,
a number of imitation Indian muslins
and cretonnes, and he found that %
per cent. of these contained arsenic in
an appreciable quantity, the colors in
which the poison was found being
principally terra-cotta reds and gall-hut
browns. He also made experiments
with view to find at what temperature
these fabrics would give off arsenical
vapors, but these experiments only gave
negative results. In spite Of this he
quotes two cases brought to him by
medical men, In which well-marked
symptoms Of poisoning were ascribed to
the use of these colored fabrics; in one
of these eases, several work girls
employed in making up the material
being taken ill with all the symptoms Of
arsenical poisoning. He attributes this
result to the fact that in the workroom
the material was pressed with irons,
which had far higher temperature than
that used in his experiments. The samo
authority also tells that he found arsenic
in glazei cardboard box Of a green
color which had contained chocolate.

jealousy of Birds.

Prof. Frescaud cites a number of we'll
authenticated incidents illustrating the
Jealousy that exists among the lower
order of animals-jcalousy involving a
train Of thought and process Of reasoning.
One of the most curious of the practical
experiments he himself made was in
the case of a family of storks at Constan-
tinople. Having obtained perm ssion of
the caliph to investigate the social and
domestic economy of these historic birds,
Prof. Frescaud introduced into one of
the nests on the roof of mosque eleven
duck eggs, and took away the eggs
which lhe mother stork had laid. The
birds did not seem to notice the exchange,
and the male and female stork took turns
Gas is the custom with most BIRDS at
sitting upon the eggs.
In due time the eggs were Matched and
nine plump ducklings made their
appearance. The mother storl was
apparently fully satisfied, and she brooded
over her calIow infants with great
tenderness. But when the father stork
got glimpse at the ducklings he became
terribly agitated and evinced his
displeasure by shrill cries and violent
gesticulations with his wings and legs.
As if, however, TO have the scandal prop
erly if not legally ventilated, this enraged
husband flew away and presently returned
with an immense number of neighbors
of both sexes. The strange company
expelled the mother bird from her nest,
and for long time inspected the young
ducklings, keeping up meanwhile an
incessant chattering, as if, forsooth,
they were discussing among themselves
the probability of the female stork
infidelity. At last, seeming to have
agreed upon verdict, they fell upon
the female and killed her, after which
they put the young ducklings to death
and destroyed the nest and everJ vestige
thereof.
Prof. Frescaud says that soon after this
judicial murder the father sterk,
seemiegiys ssyereome BY modification at
the supposed faithlessness of his wife,
committed suicide by drowning in the
Bosorus.

borough are largely engaged in the
propagation Of terrapin, and have about
5000 confined in pond, where they are
fed and prepared for market. The terra
pin are caught by the fishermen and sold
to Messrs. Tilghman and Goldsborouoh.
In winter theyie dormant, and do not
eat at all, but i summer time tbev seem
to have raVehos appetites. The princi-
pal food given hem is hard crabs. and it
takes about I'VE to six hundred crabs
day to feed them. The crabs are put
into large hopper alive and are hackled
to pieces in passing through the ma
chinery. They are then thrown into the
pond for the tenapins, which are so
eager to get at their food that they climb
up over the backs of each other. They
have learned TO know what the noise of
the hacking machine means, and as
soon as it commences to run they begin
to gather around and show signs
of impatience until their food
is given them. The tenapin
become very tame, and any one
can walk down to the edge of the pond
and pick them up at will. In Winter
they imbed themselves in the mud and
sleep away Their time until Spring. Dur
ing such mild weather as has prevailed
in this latitude this Winter they come
up to the top Of the mud, so that their
backs may be seen, and appear to be in
half comatose state. Col. Tilghman
says that you can put terrapin in a close
box and shut the lid, and they will live
there all Winter without a drop of water,
notwithstanding their lives are gen.
orally spent in the water. A terrapir
put in a barrel and nearly covered ovel
with bags or some like material will keeE
fat all Winter When small terrapir
are put in the pond they sink to the bot
tom or hide themselves somewhere, ant
no more is seen Of them until they ar,
full-hedged tenapins ready to get in {

A Snlphnrons Lake.

A stran9e phenomenon has been dis
covered AZ New Decker, village in
Southern Indiana A small lake about
two miles from that place is burning and
is emitting peculiar sulphuric odor.
The community is excited, and those
living near the burning lake are prepar-
ing to lea1e the place. The phenom-
enom WIS 4 Fst discovered by two hunters.
When they reached the lake they were
startled by the strange sight that met
their view. The entire lake was ablaze.
The lake IS beautiful spot of water,
circular in its outline, half mile in cir
cumferenee IN dense wood and is
skirted by a heavy growth of swamp
brush. The fire covers the eastern sur
face with steady blaze SIX inches in
height and as night comes on changes to
peculiar purple hue. 1t emits mild,
steady heat. No smoke is perceptible.
Several theories are suggested, the most
plausible of which is that vein of oil
near the surface has bursted out under
the pond and that the oil rose to the sur
face, where it was set on fire by spark
from burning log heap near by, and
that as the oil continues TO rise it keeps
burning upon the surface. York
