THE fame of Pope Leo Kill would in
deed be undying If he could accomplish the
disarmament of Europe. But his influence
is Insufficient to secure consummation
only to be obtained by the united action Of
individual powers which hitherto have e1-
pressed firm belief in the necessity Tor the
maintenance of war establishments for the
preservation of peace. Such condition of
affairs is the greatest of all hindrances to
European progress, and a SAD commentary
on the vaunted civilization and enlighten-
ment of the closing years of the nineteenth
century.

"SDeechD of the Dumh-

Deaf and dumb people speak by means
of their fingers. How many words can
hand7speaker form in minute? The
average number of letters per word in
the English language is five. Now, a
ready hand-speaker can make the Eng
lish alphabet ten times in a minute-that
is to say, two hundred and sixty letters.
1t is usual for him to pause for the space
of one letter after each word, to show
that the word is complete. If, therefore,
we subtract from the total just given
about one-sixth of these stoppages, the
total will be reduced to two hundred and
fifteen letters. Let this be divided by
five, the average number of letters per
word, and we shall find that fairly ex-
pert deaf and dumb person will speak
forty three words per minute. A person
in possession of speech will probably
speak one hundred and fifty words in the
same space Of time; but experts in the
sign language use only the important
words of a sentence, and express a
thought in every gesture, therefore the
odds are by no means against them, their
forty words doing the work of three
times that number as employed IN ,di-
nary speech.

Summer SleenInR AnimnIa.

Everybody is aware that large num-
ber of animals sleep in protected places
during the cold season of the year and
awake in the summer. A similar phenom-
enon is the summer sleep of different
reptiles-principally serpents and croco-
diles which thus pass the time of greatest
heat in tropical regions.
During July and August it will be OBJ
served by those who pay any attention tc
outdoor animal life that reptiles and
Rmphibians are noticeably fewer in num-
Der than during the spring months; but
if they begin to hunt under large stones,
in holes in the ground, on the edges Of
marshes or ponds. under brushwood and
dead leaves, they will often find these
animals in condition similar to sleep.
The frogs sit huddled together and
make no attempt to hop away, only bur-
rowing down into the earth. Lizards
and saIamanders lie almost motionless,
with their tails over their heads.
Snakes are rolled up like spirals, with
the head hidden. They are the most
quickly aroused, however
The reason of this summer sleep is diff
ferent. according as the animal lives on
land or in the water. Those on land
sleep during the greatest heat; those in
the water only when their usual dwelling
place is dried up, which generally,
but not necessarily, occurs during high
temperature. The water salamanders
are always in partial summer sIumber;
those which live in the water during the
whole year do not sleep in summer, such
as the water frog, which lives in ponds
and marshes well supplied with water.
1t is generally supposed that our reptiles
enjoy the heat of summer, so that, as it
increases, they improve in health; but
this is not always the case. Rather it
has been found that many of our reptiles
are killed by prolonged exposure to the
heat of the sun; and, if we observe liz
ards in the open air, we may be sure that
they do not stay out very long under the
beams of the sun. but go back from time
to time to their dwelling in some shady
place.

The Eyes ofDeep Sen Fish.

Fish that live in deep water have nc
eyes at all or very large ones. As we &c
down in the water we find at each depth
that the effects produced upon the eyes
of fish are steadily progressive in one di.
rection or the other. Species that live at
a depth of eighty fathoms have the eye
already good deal bigger than their
nearest representatives who live at OF
near the surface. Down to the depth of
two hundred fathoms daylight disap-
pears, and the eyes get constantly bigger
and bigger. Beyond that depth small
eyed forms set IN. with long feelers de-
velOped to supplement the eyes. Sight
in fact, is here beginning to atropby.
In the greatest abysses the fish are mostly
blind, feeling their way about entirely
by their sensitive bodies over the naked
surface of rock at the bottom Some
have still external relics of functionless
eyes; in others, the oldest and most con-
firmed abysmal specie, the eye has alto
gether disappeared externally, though
its last representative may still be dis
covered imbedded deep in the tissues of
the head. There are two ways of getting
around the oceans gloomy abyss-by
delicate touch organs or by sight that
collects the few rays of light due to phos-
phOrescence or other accidental sources.

As OTHERS SEE US.
America the Happy Hunting Gronho
for Lecturers and Preachers.


for Lecturers and Preachers.
Apart from their appreciation of cler-
lcal titles the Americans, to use Yankee
nHrasp. are death on sermons, saws the
London Teleqraph. In this country SER
mons are good deal played out Fine
services, good music, gorgeous vestments
draw better, in theatrical parlance, than
pulpit eloquence. That this should be so
is. perhaps, no credit to our spiritual de-
yotion of mind, but with us preaching
by itself falls fat.
In the United States it is different.
Life in the country villages of the union,
and even in the smaller towns, is far
more monotonous than it is over here,
owing to the comparative scarceness OF
the population and to the great distances
which separate one city from another.
Amusements, entertainments and social
gatherings are comparatively few ID
number
In consequence America is the happy
hunting ground for lecturers and preach
ers, and in default of any other oppor-
tunity for public meeting, the Sunday
service, whether at church, chapel or
conventicle, is the social event of the
week 1t is at the Westinghouse that
the country folk, and TO considerable
extent the town folk, count upon seeing
one another. There everybody who Is
anybody puts in an appearance.
We do not dispute that in America, az
elsewhere, people attend church With
the view of fulfilling their duty and
promoting their own spiritual welfare,
but we do not hesitate to say that the
attendance is largely stimulated by the
desire to meet neighbors, to learn the
gossip of the day, and in the case of the
fair sex to display their own dresses and
to inspect the costumes of their sister
worshipperS
When an American wishes to say that
anybody has put on what we might call
his or her war paint" he remarks that
the gentleman or lady, as the case may
be, has got on "go-to- meeting" clothes.
Indeed, we may fairly say that in a
"rkee village or township the Sunday
-. vice represents what Longchamp does
Or used to do-in Paris. If you want
to study the latest fashions, the newest
devices of feminine attire in any city or
hamlet of the Union you can find no
more fitting occasion for your researches
than the Sunday service at the chapel
frequented by the elite of the neighbor-
hood
