Peculiar Dutch Customs.

Many peculiar customs still prevail
in Holland which amuse the tourist,
but which arc quite sensible after all.
In many Dutch towns bulletins are al
fixed to the doors of houses in which
persons are sick in order that their
friends may be apprised of the state Of
their health without knocking or ring
ing, and in Harlem the birth Of a child
is announced by means Of small pla-
card adorned with red silk and lace.
So the traveller on the lookout for the
peculiar may see a notice on the door
as he passes BY that ''Mr. Van deepen
beck is better to-day; pulse. %; tenn
perature, normal;" or, Mrs. Van

The process Of civilizing American
colleges has gone on glOriously for tho

Of fatal hazing has been reported this
fall. The practice il abolished from
nearly all colleges Of high rank. and
for the most part without the interfer-
ence Of the trustees or faculties. Tho
Yale SophomOres recently voted
against 1t, and this will probably
abolish il forever from that institution.

they are not brutal. tyrannical and

ELECTRICAL NOVELTY.
An InEenlous Device for ventilatIon m
Fire Alarm.


Fire Alarm.
A New York inventor. who has do
voted many years to electrical re-
search. has just finished an invention
which ere long may come into general
household use. 1t consists OF a neat
box containing peculiar thermometer
and hygrometer, with electrical ut
tachments. The purposes OF the ap-
paratus are many. If the temperature
of the room goes above or below limits
set by the occupants the expanding or
contracting mercury in the thermom-
eter establishes an electrical circuit
which opens or closes hot or cold-air
register. and keeps it open or closed
until the desired temperature is re-
stored. Beyond the ordinary limits
are what are termed danger limits"
The higher one is intended as fire.
detector, and is SO arranged rs to ring
an alarm bell or gong. and where there
is tank provided to turn ON stream
of water. The lower is intended for
greenhouses and conservatorics. and
likewise makes an alarm whcn-
ever the temperature falls to .
point low enough to endanger
the plants. The hygronletric attach
ment acts in the same manner regard
ing humidity as the thermometric does
respecting temperature. Its only prac-
tical application. so far as the inventor
makes claim. is to give notice to
fioris: when the air in a conservatory
becomes too dry, or to q refiner or other
manufacturer the atmosphere of whose
drying-room becomes too moist to DO Of
any avail.
The instrument is now in use in the
vaults Of some OF our great breweries.
where lager beer must be kept be-
tween 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
and in the ''cold storages" of the lead
ing sea-ports, where fish. poultry.
game. eggs. fruits. fine vegetables and
tobacco are refrigerated" and pre-
served for weeks and even months. It
has also been utilized by metropolitan
architects. who connect it with the
furnaces and cold air flues Of the latest
styles Of palatial houses. When
1t is necessary. As in large breweries
and cold storages, the circuit is so arr
ranged as to produce an alarm at the
place where the trouble occurs. and
also in . central ONCE or superintend-
ent's room. The fire alarm can also be
connected with the nearest fire and po-
| lice station.-N 7. Letter.

HABITS or ooRiLLAa
Contrary to Common Belief Ie - NJ
stated That They Can Not WALK.

e.o.<r>rv In Common Belief. It Il NSW
stated That They Can Not walk.
There are marked points OF diner
encc between the chimpanzce and gor-
lila. The cars Of chimpanzee are
large, pink and stand out widely from
the head, but those Of the gorilla arc
very small. black. and are pressed
against the sides Of the head, like those
Of man.
The hands OF the gorilla are unlike
those of any other known monkey.
The fingers, instead OF being free az
far as the palm Of the hand. are united
up to the first knuckle-joint. 80 that
they can not be spread. The nails. In
stead Of being long, convex and. claw
like, as are those OF the chimpanzee.
are comparatively short and FIAT. not
reaching to the ends Of the fingers,
and much resembling those OF man..
Contrary to former belief, it is now
claimed that the gorilla can not walk
or even stand on its hind feet. as the
weight Of the body is borne entirely by
the outside edges OF the little toes.
When adult. the gorilla occasionally
runs for few yards upon its hind feet,
but is obliged to balance itself by hold
ing the hands over the head.
That it should fight in the erect posi-
ton. as stated by Du Chaillu. is phys
ically impossible; SO with thecdrun-
ming on the breast, Of which Du
Chaillu makes SO much.
That the gorilla does make a drum
ming noise is true enough. but it pro-
duces the sound by beating a hollow
tree. and not by striking its breast.
The natives are not afraid Of it. say
ing: "SOko"-another Of its names
..is a man. and nothing bad in him.
When attacked it mostly bites of the
mans fingers and lets him 20.
Like the orang-Outang, it twists to
gether branches OF trees, and rests
upon them. The natives laugh at it.
because when rain falls heavily the
gorilla never thinks Of creeping under
| the platform which it has made, bu
sits in the rain with its hands on il!
head, allowing the water TO stream
from the hair of its elbows; for. like
all the anthropoid apes. it has thu
long hair of the upper arm pointing
downward from the shoulder to thu
elbow, while that OF the lower arm
points upward from the wrist. s.
when the ape sits with its hands on it!
head, the hair of the arm acts as /,
thatch, and shoots the rain of thu
body.
According to Doctor Livingstone,
the gorilla sometimes picks up . negrt
baby and carries it about. The natives
rescue it in rather an ingenious man
ner. They place a large bunch o
bananas in the way Of the gorilla
which seizes them with both hand
and lets the baby drop. Had the bah.
been one OF its own kind. it woul'
have clung to its nurse. But. being
human baby, i: naturally falls. SO tha
the rescuers can drive away the ami
NAL and carry of their prize.-Golds'

veteran and as he himself puts it ''is
SCARED from head to foot - Although
a faithful and efficient officer, he is one
of the most innocent OF men and easily
imposed upon. Many are the pranks
that are played upon him by his brother
officers. Flood tells some quaint stories
concerning himself, in which the laugh
is decidedly against him. On one occa-
sion, while in the army, it was decided
TO organize an engineer corps and to as
sist them in their work g dozen able
bodied men were selected from Flood S
company among them being Flood him
self. He asked his captain what they
were going to do, and upon being in
formed that they were organizing an en-
gineer corps, Flood protested that it was
useless to select him, as he was no. ems,
gineer. His captain smiIingly told him
it was al! right, that he would have good
food, fine quarters and would be much
better off than where he then was. ''Au
right, captain - said Flood, ''but re-

corps had arrived at the scene of opera

can see that it ain t plum. It's yellow
pine; and a man that knows anything
could tell that divil plum ever grew on
it. - After the matter had been eX-
planned to him Flood turned on his heel
and walked away, saying: "WeI, yez
