1T is said to be fact easily demon
strated or proved by one who has access
to geological collection, that the web
of the foot of Royal Bengal tiger is
inhabited by blood-sucking insect
about the size of common flea, which
is perfect counterpart of tiger in
every particular, shape. claws, tail and
stripes included. If it is true that this
creature does live on the foot and suck
the blood of this species of tigers it is
one of the most remarkable facts
known in natural history and one
worthy of more thorough investigation.

average of the Gulf stream, though at
certain places it attains speed of fifty
four miles per hour; in the Yucatan
channel, for instance, where it is
ninety miles wide and 1000 fathoms
deep, the current is not over the fourth
of a mile an hour. In the straits of
Bemini the current is so rapid as to
give the surface of the water the ap-
pearance of being sheet of fire.

A Pure Baking Powder.

A baking powder that can be de pended upon to be free from lime and alum Is s desideratum in these days Of adulterated food. So far as can be judged from the official reports, the "Royslf' seems to be the only one yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely without one or the other of these substances, and abso. lutely pure. This, it is shown, re suits from the exclusive use by its msnufacturers of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent process which totally remove the tartarste of lime and other i'm puritles. The cost of this chemical ly pure cream Of tarter is much greater than any other, and it is us ed in no baking powder except the Royal" the manufactures of which control the patents under which it is refined.
 Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for the U. s. Government. who made the anal yses for he New York State Board of Health in their investigation of baking powders, and whose intimate knowledge of the ingredients of all those sold in this market enables him to speak authoritatively, says of the purity, wholesomeness, and superior quality of the Royal"
 "I find the Royal Baking Powder composed of pure and wholesome in. gredients. It is cream of tarter powder. and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injuri ous substance"
 Prof. Loves tests, and the recent official tests by both the United States and Canadian Governments, show the Royal Baking Powder to be superior to all others Tn strength and lesvening power. It is not on- " the most economical in use, but makes the purest, tinest-favored and most wholesome food.
