.'And will you do nothing to save

question was superfluous, for before
the sentence was finished he had flung
off his coat, waistcoat and shoes, and
had plunged into the river few yards
above the spot where the painting dog
was struggling.
How boldly he struck out to C@sar's
side! There was such a power in his
movement, that Kate never for an in
slant felt q tremor for his safety-she
was simply absorbed in thrilling ad-
miration of his manly courage and
superb strength. Putting his arm
around the dogs neck he gently forced
him down the stream to spot where

LIE sNAIL.


p
a Curious Little Creature and Some OF
His Strange WAYS.
If you wish TO examine a snail place
him on piece of glass. He is cold.
FLOODED animal, and contact with
warm hand probably induces in him
the feeling which would result in us
from placing the hand or body on the
top of the kitchen range. The coolness
of the glass will be agreeable to his
snailship, and he will travel peaceably
along, rapidly expanding and contract
ing his broad, sucker-1ike foot.
His horns are protruded in an inquir-
ing manner, and If = finger is placed in
front of him he will probably walk on
until these feelers come in contact with
it. Then the tentacles are withdrawn
and waved about in-the effort to see
the obstruction more clearly, for each
feeler contains at its end small, inn
perfect, but still discernible eye, which
is capable of distinguishing between
light and darkness.
A snail's manner of withdrawing his
horns is very curious. He does not pull
them back, bodily, into their recepta-
Gle, but turns them inside out, just as
one turns the fingers Of glove in draw
ing it off backward.
The little creature has a sense of
smell, and also fairly well-developed
ear, which lies close to the roots of his
horns. His breathing apparatus is Of
the simplest description. Looking care
fully at his right side, one may see that
a distinct hole occasionally appears
there, remains open a few moments,
and then closes again. This is simply
q cavity in the creatures body, into
which he allows a certain quantity Of
air to enter, whenever he thinks of it, !"
as one might say. When air has thus
found its way into his interior, he
keeps it there until its oxygen is ex-
hausted by his vital processes; what re-
mains, laden with carbonic acid, is al
lowed to escabe by re-opening the little
trap door, and the receptacle is filed by
another supply of pure air.
Its mouth is armed with a saw-like
tongue, which resembles a long, mar
row ribbon, coiled up in such a manner
that only part of it comes into use at
once. Distributed over the surface of
this ribbon are tiny teeth, one animal
sometimes having as many as thirty
| thousand. As one set Of teeth becomes
worn away by leaf-cutting, another
section of ribbon Is uncoiled. and the
teeth which before were wrapped up at
the back of the mouth, come forward
to take their turn in pressing the food
against the horny upper surface of their
mouth, and thus cutting it in clean Incl
| sious.
The snairs shell is horny covering
which serves to protect him against his
numerous foes. Slugs are simply snails
which live a retired life, and conse-
quently need no covering at all. The
shell of the snail Is built up from lime
in the plants on which it feeds, and the
creatures are never found on soil which
produces no lime.-Longman's Maya

A Peculiar Type OF Bacteria Which Gen
crates Light.

Peculiar Type OF Bacteria Which Gem
crates Light.
Published discussions and treatises
on this subject have for the most part
been confined so exclusively to disease
germs that for the average reader the
re'mention of the term "bacilli'' is
sufficient to conjure up visions of
cholera, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and
other of the many ills which flesh is
heir to. Nevertheless, the history of
disease germs is but q small branch Of
the science of bacteriology, which en-
braces the study of an infinite variety
of life forms, some of which are simply
innocuous to higher organisms, others
essential to their well-being, and all
deserving of careful study.
Among the many interesting types in
this world of life laid bare by the mi
croscope are those which generate light.
The bacteria have been classed, &C.
cording to their shapes, as spherical,
cylindrical and spiral; the luminous
creatures with which we are now con-
cerned belong to the cylindrical or ba-
cilli type.
1t is matter of common observation
that raw flesh or fish exhibits a green
1Sn luminous appearance IN the dark.
This luminosity is due to the presence
of bacillus to which the name "Bac-
terium PhosphorescenS" has been
given. Under the microscope it ex.
hibits itself as q short, thick staff,
rounded and stiff at both ends. This
luminous bacillus is very widely
diffused. The readiest means for in'
vestigating it are to institute researches
in fresh sea-fsh. Take some fresh her,
rings or other sea fish, place them in g
covered dish, or between two plates al
a temperature of sixty degrees or up
wards, and after an interval of fire.

CHAPTER III.
IN A LAWYERS OFFICE

Miss Balderstone did not 60 to Brigh-
con that day. Next morning she ar
rayed herself In silk attire and made O
descent on Furnivars inn, where the
great law firm of Colburn s. Carslalse
spun their webs to catch the htigious.
"Ah, my dear madam, am indeed
delighted to see you," Mr.. Colburn ex-
claimed, with so much effusion that his
manner brought a blush to his visitors
cheek, though she knew that the rotund
little attorney was verging on sixty and
had q wife and seven grown daughters
at his Richmond villa.
IT called on you, sir" she said, with
difficulty rescuing her hand from his
ardent grasp, ito confer with you con-
corning an incident in connection with
the alleged death of Sir Harry Ora
hame."
"Sir Harry's alleged death! What
can you mean, Miss Balderstone?" The
lawyers face expressed not only sur
prise but dismay-nay, there was
even a tremor in his voice as he asked
the question.
81 mean that his adopted daughter,
Kate Grahame, has received this letter
from him, which you perceive is dated
after the published period OF his de-
cease"
The attorney gave sigh of relief as
he glanced at the document.
Gracious! how you startled mer' he
said, nervously. "You ladies are posi-
lively so REPRESENTATIVES, ready to
jump to conclusions without sufficient
data, that"
"Then you think that there is moth
ing in it?" Miss Balderstone inter
rupted.
Think! am sure of it. A mere
blunder of poor Sir Harry's. Why,
have here the attestatiops of half n
dozen witnesses, chiefly natives it is
true, but men in official positions, and
one of his body servants, Aaron Gore, a
man born on his estate, who knew him
from childhood, and was his valet for
the last seven years"
at is very remarkable, Mr.. Colburn."
mot bit of ia mere slip of the
pen; why, have been guilty of the
same error a hundred times. You see
he was up in the hills, sick"
HE does not say So"
"Ah, my dear lady, you never knew
Harry Grahame. He was the last man
in the world to worry others with his
afaiction, especially one to whom he
was so much attached as he was to this
young lady"
There may be something in that,
Miss Balderstone confessed.
"And now that we are upon this sub
ject," Mr.. Colburn continued, in u suave
yet determined tone, may put you
right on one other matter. You spoke
just now of this young person as Sin
Harry Grahame's adopted daughter
What do you mean by that? The legal
definition of the phrase would near
