Our broad national distinction gave us

tla name Of Israelite. Before our an

to the race, Israelite refers to the nation,
Jew to the religion.-Hebrew Journal.

The value of whitewash in destroying
infection has been investigated by doc
tor Of the Pisa university. He tried the
experiment on the microbes of cholera,
typhoid, carbuncle and tuberculosis
Portions Of the walls Of a room were in
fected with the various microbes and
covered with coat of whitewash, the
room being closed Theoretically for
twenty-four hours. The doctor then
found that the whitewash effectually de-
stroyed the cholera and typhoid bacillus,
but the microbes of the other diseases
survived several repeated applications.

ITS NOURISHMENT.

In living sponge this perpetual and
Unceasing circulation OF water proceeds.
This is the sole evidence the unassisted
sight receives Of the vitality of the sponge
colony, and the importance Of this cir
culation in aiding life in these depths to
be fairly carried out cannot readily BE-
Overestimated.
Let US now see how this circulation is
maintained. Microscopically regarded,
we see here and there, in the sides of the
| sponge passages, little air chambers or
recesses, which remind one Of the pass
ing places in a narrow canal. Lining
these chambers we see living sponge
units of a type different from the shape
less speCE we noted to occur in the
meshes Of the sponge substance itself.
The units of the recesses each consist Of
q living particle, whose free extremity il
raised into a kind Of collar, from which
projects a lashlike filament known as a
| fiagellum. This lash is in constant
movement. 1t waves to and fro in the
water, and the collection of lashes we
| see in any one chamber acts as a veri-
table brush, which by its movement not
only sweeps water in the pores, but sends
it onward through the sponge, and in
due time sends it out by the bigger holes
or Oscula.
This constant circulation in the sponge
! discharges more than one important
function. For, as already noted, it
serves the purpose Of nutrition, in that
the particles on which sponge life is sup
ported are swept into the colony. Again,
the fresh currents of water carry with
them the oxygen gas which is a necessity
Of sponge existence, as of human life;
while, thirdly, waste matters, inevitably
alike in sponge and i'll man as the result
of living, are swept out Of the colony and
discharged into the sea beyond. Our bit
Of sponge has thus grown from a mere
dry fragment into a living reality. It
is community in which already, low
as it is, the work Of life has come to be
discharged by distinct and fairly special
lied beings. -LOndon Illustrated News.

Kalakaua's Last Words Pre-
served by Phonoeraph.


Outside the little circle of imme.
date friends and attendants upon
the late King Kalakaua who were
admitted into the sick chamber it is
not known that for the ten DAYS
prior to the monarch's death an
Edison photograph stood near the
bedside. Many who saw the in
strument daily never suspected its
character or use, and during the
excitable days preceding the
Kings death, during which every
nerve was taxed to its greatest ten
sion, the innocent-looking little
machine reposed in its shaded
corner unnoticed and unobserved
by all except by the Kings cham
berlain and his secretary.
When the phonograph was
brought into the sickroom last
Monday week ago Chamberlain
Macfarlane explained its use and
purpose to the King and begged
that he would speak into the re-
ceiver. The near approach of
death was not suspected at that
time, but it was urged upon Kala-
kaua that in after years his people
would be rejoiced to listen to the
natural tones of their former ruler.
Little did either the King or the
chamberlain suspect that in less
than a week the little waXen scroll
containing the words of King IA
lakaua in audible characters would
be SO highly priced.
The King consented, and, raising
himself up in bed, put the receiver
in his mouth and talked into the
instrument in his native tongue. He
spoke slowly and with some effort
for nearly ten minutes, then sank
back exhausted, promising to COM
plete the message when he should
feel stronger. Then next day came,
with the excitement incidental to
preparing for the supper in honor
of the King at the California Hotel,
and the monograph was forgotten.
On the following day came the en-
tertainments for the Mystic Shrine,
and again the photograph was
neglected.
After that until death had closed
his lips forever both Secretary
Baker and Chamberlain Macfar-
lane watched and waited anxiously
for the signs of returning con-
seriousness, when they might have
the King conclude the scroll, but
the watching and waiting were
fruitless.
On Wednesday the phonograph
operator was sent for. He removed |
the waxen roll and gave it to |
Colonel Baker, who has since |
guarded it as saeredly as his own
life. Yesterday he took it back to |
Honolulu, where it's worth will be |
computed beyond measure in vul-
gar coin. 1t has not been read yet, |
nor will it be read until it is placed |
in an instrument upon Hawaiian
soil. 1t will probably play a most |
part in the Hawaiian OBJ
sequies.-S. T. Chronicle.
