believes that the light has a peculiar
and most beneficial action on the skin
and he therefore sends his patients to
walk In the early morning hours. in
airy, flowing garments, with bare feet,
providing for them an inclosure set
apart for his salnbrious promenade. It
is thought that the blood Is brought to
the feet through walking without shoes
and that particular electric action
takes place at the solcs. Tho same
kind of action is produced at the upper
part of the arm when exposed, and this
Is worry desirable for the health. Three
hours are supposed to be spent In the
air bath, but few have the heroic cour.
age TO stay TO the bitter end. There Is
absolutely nothing 70 do except fight

feed upon the honey which the
patients take with them to cat
with their bread and, milk. The
wasps aside, monotony is the curse Of
the air bath. The place Is too small,
and nothing has been done to provide
occupation for the women patients. The

Having left an interval Of about two

has been inclosed by a tall fence, 30 that

The EYE OF IMAM.

Animals OF the Cat Family tho Only Ones
to Quail Under It.
1t Is popular belief more or. less
loosely formulated, that there is some-
thing 10 terrible and ma ajestic In the hu-
man eye that man has only to Ak his
gage on the most terrific denizensof tho
forests TO inspire them With awe. Nu-
merous and some woll-authenticated in
stances are on record OF unarmed men,
who have met the lion or tho tigerin his
native jungles, fixed their eyes on him
and compelled him TO turn tail. -,.-
There is then some foundation for the
popular belief, but II man having rns
questioned faith in the awe-inspiring
power Of the human eye proposes to put
II to the tost In his own person, consid-
erable discretion Is TO be recommended
not only In the selection OF the beast,
but also In the selection OF his lo-
cality. For example, no should not
make his first experiment with Q RAM
pageous bull In o ten-acre inclosure at
any considerable distance from the fence
nor would we strongly trip
to tho Rocky mountains with the object
OF experimenting with full-grown griz-
zly, for both bulls and bears are fighting
animals and have tho habit OF meeting
their foes face TO face.
The measure is successful only with
the cat family--lions, tigers. etc, and
by no means to DO relied upon with
them Hope OF success depends lupon
tho fact that tho mombcra OF the. cat
family are not TO any extent fighting
animals; they do not hunt In packs and
quarrel over the prey, they very rarely
quarrel with each other over the females
at mating soason and in striking their
prey they never attack In front. tits o

lion, the tiger, the panther, the leopards,
and the whole family Of Felidm,- lsre

A IInndrpd DAYS, vengcanec.

An Afghan correspondent sends totho
Civil and Military Gazette weird story
OF the Ameer's vengeance on his robel
prisoners. 1t appears that three hum
'tired prisoners, under the charge Of Jan
Mohamed Khan, Khaztnchi, have ar
rived from Turkostan at Cabul. Three
OF these were put to death each day.
One is hanged in yellow or green ap-
parei; one is dressed In black and blown
ffom gun; and the third. who is put to
death by the sword, is givenrcd clothes.
Tho executions will, we suppose, last
one hundred days. II tho Afghan cor

the service, though he was obliged to sit
down in order to do so. When it was
done-and to me it seemed interminable
Mr.. Carson whispered to me that he
meant to marry us outside the hut in
sight of all the people, so we went out
and took our stand under the shade of
large tree that grew near the hut facing
the bare space where the natives were
gathered.
Mr.. Carson held up his hand to enjoin
silence. Then, speaking in the native

to make us man and wife after the Chris

riage service over us, and very sOlemnly
and beautifully he did it. We said the
words, l placed the ring-it was her
fathers signet ring, for we had no other
upon Stella's finger, and it was done.
Then Mr.. Carson spoke. "Allan and

It has long been known that oil would calm troubled waters. Now we know just how it does it. Lord Rayleigh has ex- plained the matter before the Royal Insti- tuition. This scientists experiments demonstrate that foam and froth is caused by impurities in liquids. Thus, on shak- ing up bottle containing pure water we get appreciable foam, bat taking a mixture of water with five per cent of alcohol there is much greater tendency to foam. Camphor, glue and gelatine dis solved in water greatly increase it's foam ing qualities, and soap still more. Lord Rayleigh finds that sea water foams, not on account of its saline matter, but in con- tracted by wave action from sea weeds. By simply putting his finger in water, which was moving vigorously under the influence of few camphor scrapings, the contamination of the water by the infinitesimal amount of grease sufficed to form an invisible film over it and to neutralize the foaming action produced by the dissolved camphor. The effect of oil on waves is not to subdue the huge swell, but to smooth and tone down its ripples. "The film of oil" says Lord Rayleigh, ''may be compared to an inextensible mem brane floating on the surface of the water and hampering its motion" As long as the advancing, tumultuous sea water is pure there is nothing to oppose its periodic contractions and extensions, but when its surface is covered with the oily membrane the most dangerous contractions and ex- tensions are impossible
