The Ancestors of the Dog.

Mr.. NJ. Boule, in note to the French
Academy on the predecessors of the pres
ent Gambia, shows that, in the NIiocene
epoch in France, there were animals that
offered some afiinities with the dogs. In
the Quatenary epoch, numerous species
ARE found, and these seem to be identical
with the present species The deposits
between the middle NIiocene and tho
Customary furnish but small number of
data. Upon studying the remains of
dogs taken from the Pliocene formation
OF Puy-dc- Dome and Velay, Mr.. Boule
has found that, far previous to the Qua
ternary epoch, the Canidm offered q large
number of species, and that these latter
already realized the types of the present
wolves, foxes, jackals and dogs. The
CAMS Borbonicus of Pcrrier, while Of
fering some afinities with tho civets, may
he considered as an ancestral form of the
foxes. The CAMS Etrascus was very
near relative of the present wolves.
Another species had the dental formula
of the cuon. Finally, jaw from the
Pliocene near Puy exhibits the characters
of certain races of domestic dogs.
In the presence of such facts rs these,
~ becomes difficult to admit, as has, often
Beea done, that all our races of domestic
ldogsEIA but artificial notifications of the
their congeners, the wolves and jackals

Proportion of Deaths In Different Couu-
trips and Localities.


triss and Localities.
Starting out with the fact that "from
one third to one half of all persons born
into the world die before reaching the
age of five years." DIR. J. M. French,
in the Popular Science Monthly, dis
cusses the causes of this death rate in
the light of certain facts which he brings
out clearly from the records of infant
airy weakness of children and the other
two principal causes, contagion and
diarrheal diseases, he traces directly
to the poison and filth of overcrowded
cities. The connection between this
and sanitary condition and the heredi-
tary evils is also suggested
He first calls attention to the fact
that the infant mortality varies greatly
in different localities The contrast is
effectually shown between city and
country districts:
The exact proportion of deaths va
ries greatly in different countries and
localities, Mt different times and under
different circumstances. Statistics are
OF value only in showing average results.
In Norway, for example, the proportion
dying under five is stated by DR.. Farr
to be 204.5 per 1000 born; while in
England it is 33S per ZOO, and in Italy
567 per 1000. In fifty-one so-called
healthy districts" of England and
Wales, according to the same authority,
the mortality under five is IT'S per 1000
born, while i'll the Liverpool district,
representing the most favorable sani-
tary conditions, it is AGO per 1000.
In the different parts of our own
country, we find nearly as great vari-
ETY. as on the continents of Europe.
Even in the same latitude, the proper
ton varies greatly, according as city or
country districts are considered. In
the State of Vermont, which contains
no large cities, and represents essen
tally rural population, the number
OF deaths under five, for the year 1888,
was 23.S per cent of the whole number
of deaths in the State of Massachusetts.
which embraces several large cities
within its limits, for the twelve years
ending in 1854, it was 34.74 per cent;
and in the city of New York alone, for
the seven years ending in 1878, it was
exactly SD per cont of the entire NOR
tality.
The younger the child the larger is
the death ratio. According to Dir. ia
cobb, more than half of those who die
under five years of age die in the first
year DIR. Curtiss states that, i'll all
the great cities of North America, ont
of every one hundred live-born children,
about twenty-five die before the end of
the first year, and from forty to fifty
before the close of the fifth year"

Cuban Pineapple Plantations.

Twelve miles from Havana is fine
pineapple plantation of sixty acres, owned
by two brothers. The pineapple trees
are low and bushy, about two feet high,
with long and pricllly leaves extending
up and around the pineapple. These
bushes, or trees, are planted touching
each other in rows about four feet apart.
Each tree has an apple growing in the
top. Some were just forming, others
half grown and others full grown we
had the pleasure of eating them ripe from
the trees, and we found the flavor fur
superior to those we get at home, which
are shipped green to ripen on the way
There are about 1900 trees to the acre.
Each tree produces an apple every eight
months, which are sold on the place for
about ten cents apiece. The trees arv
good for four years bearing; they are
then replaced with fresh settings. 1t was
indeed pretty sight-thc pineapples in
their different conditions furnished diff
fcrent hues-some golden, some azure
and some blush green, all blending to-
gether, making a beautiful picture.

The Home of the Morayians.

On the north side of the Lchigh River.
liity-four miles from Philadelphia, and
twelve miles above Easton, Penn, is
situated one of the neatest and most at
tractive towns i'll the State, and in all its
government probably one of the quictest.
The borough of Bethlehem also occupies
both banks of the Monocacy Creek, that
at this point adds its pure waters to its
more turbulent neighbor, the Lehigh. 1t
is probably due to the excellent water,
more than any other one thing, that at
tractcd its first settlers and caused them
to build their houses at this most delight
lul spot 1t has always been the princi-
pal settlement Of the Moravians, or United
Brethren, in the United States, and for
an entire century retained the principle of
IFS original organiZation-to wit, the ex-
clusion of all persons who were not mem
bcrs of the church.
The name Bethlehem was derived from
the following circumstance: "Count
LinZendorlf, Il Saxon nOblcman of wealth
and great talent, and of the MIoravian
faith, arrived in New York in November,
l741, and came to Bethlehem in Deccn
Der, and in his house the celebrations of
""tiNhN WI jesus OllTlSt TOOK pace on the
24th of the month. This celebration sur-
gcstcd to the Count name for the new
settlement, and it was accordingly called
Bethlehem.
The wealth which within the past fif-
teen years has centred in the Bcthlchcms.
has been attracted principally by the coal
and iron interests, situated on the line of
the two great railways which connect the
anthracite regions of Carbon and Luzernc
Counties with New York and Philadelphia,
and in the heart of a valley which is pro-
verbally rich i'll iron ores and limestone.

chem us a most desirable point for the
successful prosecution of traffic in those
indispensable staples of modern civilian

Bethlehem, the seat of the Lehigh
University, possesses IN admirable school
system, an efficient fire department, four
newspapers, and all the surroundings
which distinguish a prosperous and en-
terprising community. : Mew York

Exciting Adventure With a Whale.

The fishing schooner G. A. White
has returned to Port Townsend,
Washington, from IL halibut cruise in the
North Pacific. Her master, CAPTAIN
Charles johnson, relates an exciting adj
venture with whale. The vessel was
anchored on the Flattcry Banks, seventy
live miles from shore, with all of the
crew out il five dorics catching halbut,
when a school of five black whales came
alongside. One of the school got en-
tangled i'll the vessels cable, the anchor
parted and the vessel, in tow of the
monster, was taken at rapid rate to the
westward, the only person aboard being
the Captain and the cook, who were un-
able to stop her.
The whale became exhausted and
brought the schooner around in circle
within fifty miles from where they started
The windlass was rugged and the vessel
hauled alongside of the whale. He
measured over eighty-four feet. With
one turn the cable became disentangled
on the whales flank, and the whale dis
appeared beneath the water. The Cap
tain and cook hoisted sail and returned
for the boats, where the crew was safely
found twcnty-four hours later. The en-
perience was the most exciting that has
ever occurred off Flattery Banks. The
story is vouchsafed for by all the crew.

AcrOpIlobia.

Among the many curious physical ex-
periences that are now attracting atten-
ton, the one to which the term sacro-
phobia" has been applied has many points
of interest 1t refers to an exaggerated
condition of fear when in high places.
DR.. Verga has recently described the phe-
nomena in his own case. Though by ma
ture not at all timid, all his courage
leaves him when above ground. He has
palpitations in mounting step ladder;
finds it extremely unpleasant to ride on
top of coach, or even to look out of a
first story window. His idiosyncrasy for
bids him to use an elevator, and the mere
thought of those who have cast them
selves down from high places causes ting
ling oil over his person. The thought OF
the earth spinning through space is
enough to cause discomfort He finds
this fear growing upon him as sight and
hearing become less acute, and what
walking in high places was formerly pos
sible for him is getting more and more
difficult. A greater or less degree of this
fear is undoubtedly quite common. A
very intense form of it seems perfectly
consistent with normal charlottesville
PolyeliaIs.

In the White Book published at Berlin,
respecting Samoan matters, Prince Bis.
marck refers to the arrest of Gallicn, the
Englishman, by the German Consul ut
Apia for suggesting that Mataafa should
write to Sir George Grey, Ex-Governor of
New Zealand, MS to the course Samoans
should pursue. Ex- Governor Grey, who
is held in great esteem by the colonies.
when asked respecting his views by the
auckland Herald as to Samoa, said at
would be far preferable to leave each of
these island groups with independent
governments, settling all disputes among
themselves by arbitration, and guided. if
possible. by a commission of foreign
Powers. 1t is clear that America is aim
ing at this line of policy, anncxing none
OF the islands herself and doing her ut
most to preserve the peace of the Pacific.
This also is said to be the policy of all
the English possessions in this part of the
world. America will eventually become
leader of the Anglo:Saxon race, and will
displace England from the position she
now holds. Many eyes in this part of
the world are already being turned to-
ward America as the Power that is likely
to preserve the interests of the Anglo
saxon race in the Pacific, without herself
nnnexing anything Or allowing foreigners
TO do so. 1t is clear that the centre of
power among the Anglo-Saxon race is
shifting to America, as the centre of
population has already done. 1t is
therefore unwise of England to neglect
her interests in such time of emer.
gency. The United States does not re-
quire standing army, and consequently
the whole resources of the people so cir
cumstanced could be devoted solely to
the maintenance of navy which would.
make the Anglo,Saxon race absolute mas.
