The Lost Tribes of Israel.
boston Transcript

wonder If there has ever been any
correct answer made to the qnery,
"What became of the ten lost tribes Of
Israeli OF course nothing certain can
be known rs to this matter. Writers
must content themselves with specuia-
tive opinions based upon hypothesis and
altogether conjectural 1t has been
argued after this manner that the
eighteenth chapter of Isaiah has refer
ence to the descendants of the lost tribes
who settled North America, but l never
could see it," These tribes, we are
taught, settled, at some period after they
were carried away from Palestine, some
where between the Caspian and Black
seas, and pushed on from there into
Sarmatia, occupying the country be-
tween the Danube and the Don rivers,
whence they were driven by the success
sive invasions of the Tartars, even as far
north as Lapland, Scandinavia, Den
mark and the British Isles spreading
all over Europe.
1t is seriously contended that the
Angles, Saxons and Celts are undoubted-
ly the MISUNDERSTANDING of Ephraim and
Manasseh; and that our thirteen colonies
represented the thirteen tribes which
settled in Palestine under the rule OF
Joshua, which colonies were made up
mostly of the descendants of Joseph
The reasoning by which this teaching
is urged upon our acceptance is plausible
and quite Ingenious; but altogether too
much has to be taken for granted

Army and Navy Death Rates.

Army ana navy death rates in time OF
war and peace deserve much attention
The official tables give us not only the
number of men killed In action, but the
relative tendency to disease in divers
armies. For example, in the Crimean
war the British army lost $50 men
killed on the field and 81 900 who died
in hospital 1t took $40 Russian shots to
kill or nortally wound an Eng,ishlnan
or Frenchman, and 700 English shots
to kill Russian; but the havoc caused
by disease was far greater. If we study
these statistics with attention and act
upon them, we may reduce our cam
paigning losses by so per cent. We may
also learn some interesting physiological
facts, that the proportion of Frenchmen
who die after amputation or other surgi-
cal operation is greoter than Of British
or Russians

Enemies Of Trapdoor Spiders.
fponuIar Qcianna1

1t Is dlinculU TO say what may be the
enemies of the trapdoor spider, against
which such Ingenious architecture has
been reared and such vigilant watch is
exercised. But the quite general testi-
mony is that these spiders leave their
tubes at night and go forth in search of
prey, or, as il other cases, open the lids
of their tunnels and spread struggling
lines near by, upon which passing insects
are entangled and delayed long enough
to allow the spiders to pounce upon
them from their open caves. If we credit
these accounts we might infer that the
enemies which the trapdoor spiders most
dread are not such as are abroad at
night.
Evidently the creatures are fearless at
that time-a state of mind which doubt
less results from their knowledge that
they are comparatively free from their
worst enemies. The enemies which they
most dread may therefore be reasonably
looked for among diurnal creatures, and
not among those of nocturnal habits.
Among these foes at least ono of the
most formidable and irresistible is di-
urnal insect, the female of the terrible
digger wasp, which | do not doubt will
be found to store trap door spiders as
well as taraptulas and lycosids
