One Problem solved.

The professor of natural science at Ann
Arbor was discussing the process of ferti-
lizing plants by means of insects carry
ing the pollen from one plant to another,
and to amuse them told how the old
maids were the ultimate cause Of it ALL
The humble bees carry the pollen the
field mice eat the humble bees; therefore
the more field mice the fewer humble
bees and the less pollen and variation OF
plants. But cats devour the field mice.
and old maids protect cats. Therefore
the more old maids the more cats, the
fewer field mice the more bees. Hence
old maids are the cause of variety in
plants.
Thereupon n sophomore with single
eyeglass, an English umbrella, box
coat, with his trousers rolled up at the
bottom. arose and asked:
II sa-a-y, professah, what is the cause
-ah-of old maids, don't you know?"

"Many persons wonder, said the house
doctor Of well known hospital to New
York Telegram reporter, show physi-
clans can watch unmoved the death of
persons whose dissolution is seemingly
accompanied by evidence of great suffer-
ing, and the remark is a common one
that doctors are heartless and unfeeling.
This harsh criticism is founded on a
wrong idea of things. The fact is that
what is known as the death agony is
largely restricted to the imagination Of
the watcher at the bedside of the dying
person. The visible spasms and distor.
tions of the facial muscles, which in many
cases mark the ending of life, are not
only painless but take place uncon.
sciously so far as the dying person is con.
cerned.
"Even in cases Of death by hanging
where the prolonged agony of the sufferer
is feelingly described by witnesses, it is
reasonably certain that in a few mo-
ments the person becomes unconscious
and dies in that condition. Such has
been the experience of persons, acci.
dentally or puIposely hanged, but after
ward resuscitated. 1t is a fact that peo-
pie who have been nearly drowned agree
in the statement that after few mo-
ments of painful struggle feeling OF
tranquility ensues.
"The suffering is while the resuscitated
person is being brought back to conscious.
ness. Then it is he often suffers physical
pain and mental misery. 1t is a merci.
full dispensation of God and nature that
when the last moments Of the dying man
are at hand vital forces give out, and as
the long drawn out gasps for breath
come and go the apparent sufferer is

Secure One Weld Of Sap.

Secure One Yield OF sap.
lt appears that there exists a serious
risk of the determination of the plant or
tree from which gutta percha is obtained.
This gum is used in many industries,
largely in the manufacture of submarine
cables, as it is capable of sustaining its
insulating qualities when submerged
under water at great depths; in fact,
the insulation of gutta percha actually
improves with age when kept continually
under water. The disappearance of the
curious tree from which gutta percha is
obtained would. therefore, be a calamity
OF worldwide Importance, yet it would
appear from q report recently made to
the French Academy of Sciences that
we are actually threatened with such
calamity.
The French government, recognizing
the importance of possessing an intimate
knowledge of the source of supply of this
precious material, intrusted to NJ. Serul-
las, disting uished scientist. the task of
exploring the Malayan Archipelago,
which is the home of the isonandra gutta,
with view to studying the peculiarities
of the tree and methods employed in
cultivating it and extracting the gum.
Nj. Serullas spent three years in Malay,
and studied the isonandra in all periods
of its existence. acquiring a complete
knowledge of its natural history and
physiology, but he reports that there is
absolutely no method in the manner EN-
ployed by the natives in robbing the tree
of its sap, and that no effort is made to
cultivate and propagate so valuable
member Of the plant world. The natives
adopt the wholly barbarous custom of
cutting tree at the roots in order to ex-
tract the gum; thus each tree only gives
one yield, and is then dead forever. No
wonder gutta percha is rapidly getting

Chicago Ms written Up by q French
Paper.

A French newspaper published at
Nantes furnishes its readers with very
graphic, If not accurate, description OF
Chicago. 1T is situated at the foot of
the falls of Niagara, and receives the wa
tiers of the great lakes. In no part of Eu-
rope will you find so great city. It's
boulevards are regular and as straight as
its streets, which seem to have been ruled
with straight edge, and in it all rail-
roads have .ternrni. One is almost
frightened by the height of the buildings,
in which all styles of architecture meet
without confusion. About so years ago
we visited the Falls of Niagara, and our
first stop was naturally at Chicago. Ex-
cellent hotels, very attractive people were
there; and as we took rapid walk along
the banks of the Father Of Waters we
were obliged continually to avoid meet
ing the descendants of the companion Of
st. Anthony (pigs). Now these noisy an
imals have their own quarter, where
they are sold, and they no longer by their
squeals disturb the public peace"

climb over each others backs until they
