"A Duty to Children,

The body may be looked on as a liv-

in structure, made to run a hundred
years or so, but liable, by bad manage

untimely destruction.
All continuous physical transgression,
however innocent it may seem, is fol
lowed by a like retribution. Such is
the punishment which overtakes null
titudes who overwork their brains and
underworld their muscles; of not a few
who waste vital energy with anxiety,

overlook the great law of their physical
being that makes daily recuperation

One of the signal facts connected
with many forms of physical transgres-

There is probably not a civilized roof
in South Africa which overs people of
only n nationality; as a rule, they
are of three or four. We take a typical
Cape household before us at the mo.
ment; the fatheri is English, the mother
half Dutch and half French Huguenot,
with French name, the children sharing
three nationalities; the governess is a
Scotchwoman, the cook a Zulu, the
housemaid half Hottentot and half
Dutch, the kitchen girl half Dutch and
half slave, the stable boy a Katir, and
the little girl who waits at table a Ba,
suto.
This household is a type of thou
sands of others to be found everywhere
throughout Africa. If a homely and
crude illustration may be allowed, the
people of South Africa resemble the in.
gradients of a pudding when they are
in the process of being stirred together
in a basin-plums, eggs, wine, -four
and water, To hope to re sort them is
vain; for good IL for evil, the mixture
is made; they have SO permeated each
others substance that again to resort
them is impossible, however much we
may wish it. --Fortnightly Review

Wolfram, or tungsten, belongs to q
group of rare metals, and till a com
paratively recent time was known only
to the chemist. and its value was only
in the laboratory. With the invention
of 100 ton guns the demand for tung-
stem oon made that previously obscure
metal well known throughout the min
ing world. 1t vas soon found that the
steel tube lining the bore of these enor-
nous guns could not resist the shock
entailed by discharging many shots
without becoming fractured, when, of
course, an expensive piece of ordnance
became useless.
Experiment proved that the addition
of a small quantity of tungsten to the
tine steel employed in gunmaking rem.
dered tie latter metal wonderfully elias
tic. SO that the steel tube will expand
under the tension of firing and contract
again to it's normal size a great many
times before the quality of the metal is
in any way Impaired. The German gun
factories consequently absorb most OF
the tungsten found in the world, and
from being Il mere curiosity seen only
in the laboratory of the chemists this
rare metal has acquired considerable
value.

Queer Fish That Are Said to S~erena.,e

Queer Fish That Are Said to serenati.
Residents at Cape May.
The singing sfad has been seen and
heard in lower Delaware bay this year.
1t hasn't been seen in large quantities,
OF course, for the appearance of this
odd fish in these waters is a rare occ1r.
renee But few of the singing shad
have enchanted the fishermen. They
come from the south, and only when
the wind has died down and the water
is quiet. They come in schools, emit.
ting musical notes as they swim along,
The sounds they make are soft and
something like those of an Holian harp.
1t is hard to express, o : rather initiate,
on paper, the melody they sing. 1t
runs something like this Wee no. he
hi do de, wee no, die di dunn"
This sound cannot be made with any
effect. except when the shad travel in
schools. The singing of a single shad
is too feeble to be heard above the rip
pie Of tho water. Captain Arnold,
n of the oldest and most truthful of
South Jersey fishermen, said the other
day that he had heard the singing sllad
a number of times in his piscatorial
career. They are rare, of course, so
far north as this. Even when they do
come only old fishers are apt to hear and
distinguish them. We know about
them and are more or less on the look,
out for their occasional arrival. They
really belong off the coast of Bolivia
and Chill. There they are quite com-
mon. All sorts of fairy tales are mar
rated about them by South American
fishermen. The singing shad also
breed in japanese waters. The fisher
men of Japan are delighted when they
strike a school of singing shad. They
follow them up ~reverently, because
they believe the fish are inspired.
They throw them food and never
catch or eat them.
The singing shad is different from
the common back or roe shad. It is
not 80 large and there is a slight differ
ence in the formation of the mouth.
Only an expert fishermen can tell when
he has caught one OF the finny sorg
sters. Old fishermen regard the mu.
steal shad as prizes and do not send
them to market unless they are paid a
very high price for them. 1t is esti.
mated that they travel in schools OF
about 500. Their singing is pleasant
at first. but soon grows monotonous,
owing to the fact that it is Il constant
repetition of the same few sounds.
Whether many Of these peculiar fish
ever 60 on up the Delaware or move
on to New York and mingle with the
plain every day Hudson river shad is
not known. They lose their identity
when they get in with other fish, and
it is doubtful if they eve sing alone
