Steel Eating Worms.

A worm that feeds on common steel

an artlcle III the Cologne Gazette in June.
1887. For some time preceding the
Puplcatlon OF the account mentioned
CAe greatest CONSERVATION existed
among the engineers employed on the
railway at Hagen by accidents which
always occurred at the same place, in
dlcatlng that some terrible defect must
exist either in the material or the con-
struction Of the rails.
Inc government became interested

the purpose Of maintaining a constant
watch at the spot where the accidents.

mad occurred. 1t was not however. until
after six months had elapsed that the
surface of the rails appeared to be cor
roded, as if by acid, to the extent of
over 100 yards.
The rail was taken up and broken,
Whereupon it was found to be literally
honeycombed by thin, thread-like
worms. The worm is said to be two
centlmetres In length, and about the
plgness OF a common knitting needle.
1t is OF light gray color, and on the
head 1t carries two little sacs or glands
filled with most powerful corrosive Sc
erection, which is elected every ten
minutes when the little demon is lying
undlsturbed The liquid when squirted
upon iron renders the metal soft and
spoDgy, and the color of rust, when it is
easily and greedily devoured by the
little insect. "There is no exaggera-
ton, " says the official report, ''in the
assertion that the creature is one of
the most voracious, for it has devoured
36 programmes of rails in a fortnight"

Taste.

Of taste, medical journal says that it
is not equally distributed over the whole
surface of the tongue. There are three
distinct regions of tracts, each Of which
has to perform it's own special Office or
function. The tip of the tongue is con-
cerned mainly with pungent and acid
tastes; the middle portion is sensitive to
sweets or bitters, while the back or lower
portion confines itself entirely to the
aEGrs Of rich n fatty subntaf nee ton mhs

separate examinations, which must be
successfully passed before it is admitted

FATE.

"The sky is clouded the rocks are bare;
The spray of the tempest is ,hite in air.
Inc winds are out with the waves at play,
And shall not tempt the sea to day
~ he trail is narrow, the wood is dim,
The panther clings to the arching limb:
ana the lions Whelps are abroad at play,
And shall not join in the chase today
But the ship sailed safely over the sea,
ana the hunters came from the chase in glee;
ana the town that was builded upon rock
was swallowed up in the earthquake shock.
