Eyes OF Deep.Sea Fish.

The eyes of deep-sea fish are very
varied; some have neither eyes nor
sight; others have greatly enlarged
eyeballs, SO as to catch the least
glimpse of light. Their eyes tend
either to disappear or to be unusually
efficient; but since no trace of sun
light can penetrate to any great depth,
and it is probably quite dark beyond Il
depth of some 200 fathoms, Of what
use can eyes be?
Fish have been captured at a depth
of nearly 5000 fathoms, where there
must be not only absolute stiffness,
but also total darkness, except for the
fact that some of these deep-sea crea.
lures are phosphorescent, and there.
fore luminous. This fact was first as
certained in the Challenger expedition.
Since then Mr.. Alcock, of the Indian
Marine Survey, has found that some
deep-sea crustaceans have similar
power, one large prawn quite lighting
up bucketful of water in which it was
placed. Fish with large eyes have
therefore better chance of finding
food, land mates) but they cannoi
wholly depend upon sight, since some
have quite abandoned oil attempts to
see.
Some, again, have luminous organs
on their head or body or tail, which
are under their control, so that they
can actually throw light at pleasure on
their prey or extinguish it i'll times OF
danger. Thus the angler, among
others, attracts its prey by means OF
these colored lures or phosphorescent
lights. It has been we'll said TINT these
"vast profounds of the deep have be
come sort of almshousc or asylum
whereunto Anticipated forms have re
tired, and amid the changeless environ
ment have dwelt for ages unaltcrcd.

Hen and Kittens.

1t may interest your readers who
care about this sort of subject to hear
Of the singular incident ut our farm,
two years ago of hen taking charge
OF three kittens. The mother cat
must have taken them herself IN hour
or two after their birth and placed
them under the hen, which had made
nest for herself two or three yards
off under the menger in cowshed. L
saw the cat aud her progeny lying OH
the straw directly after their birth,
and noticed the hen on her nest Re-
turning an hour or two later the cow
man showed me the kittens under the
hen. wondering how they had got
there, rs nobody else had been in the
shed and he had not touched them.
Till the kittens grew too big the men
never left them; the cat used to 90
AWAY foraging and come down every
HOW and then, throw herself down
alongside the hen and nurse her young
ones. sometimes lying with her head
uudcr aud her paws almost round the
hens neck. AS the kittens got older
IT was droll to see their foster mother
following them about aud trying to
cover them with her wings. For some
six weeks it was quite the sight Of tho
neighborhood. | suppose incidents of
the sort are not infrcqucnt, though
rnre to ones personal knowledge

Domestic Snakes as Rat Catclers.

Rats have increased at such ter
riblc rate in Brazil that the natives
hive engaged in training q certain
species of snake in hunting them down.
The domestic snake of Brazil is the
Giboia, diminutive kind of boa, about
one and a half feet long and as thick
as mans arm. This reptile can be
bought for 81 to 81. SO in the markets
of Rio Janeiro and Bahia. It is a
harmless, lazy animal, which sleeps
all day at the foot of the door, coiled
up in the sun. With the coming of
night it awakes from its slumbers and
begins to display great activity. It
creeps rapidly about, us if imbued with
very different impulses from what it
has manifested during the day. Up
III the garrets and underneath the
floors it prowls about, lies in wait for
its prey and gives evidence of cratti-
ness usually found only in the higher
class of animals. AS soon rs mt ap-
proaches it leaps ON the rodents neck
and strangles it. AS serpents seldom
devour their prey, the Giboia does
not kill because it is hungry, but for
the pleasure this occupation yields. It
is very serviceable domestic animal,
and rs such is highly esteemed by tho
people Of Brazil. st Louis Post-Dis-

An Interesting African People.

At the Berlin ARCHAEOLOGICAL So
ciety, Mr.. Mereusky has givon some
curious particulars about the Kondeh
people in the German district ON Lake
NyassH Their country is bordered on
the north by the Livingstone Noun
tains and on the south by the lake,
and this favorable geographical po-
sition has enabled the people to de-
velop in o peculiar manner and attain
q relatively high state of civilization.
''Their affections are largely developed.
Friendship is especially valued among
them, and love between the sexes
strong md firm, as we'll as the domes-
tic affections. Suicide, caused by
grief for the loss of wife, child, or
even favorite animal, is not infre-
qucnt. The favorite form of suicide
Is to enter the water and allow ones
self to be devoured by crocodile. In
war time all unnecessary cruelty is
avoided, and women and children who
have been made prisoners nre set free
again. The position of woman among
the kondchs is usually high. Women
are on perfect equality with men in
the eyes of the law, and offences
against women are even more severely
punished than offences against men. !"

Cholera is raging in Russia even
more widely and more virulently than
last year. Yet, declay Yorl:
Tribune, tbefs no panic and little
apprehension in the adjacent coun-
tries. Governments, health boards

much within the last year. They real
ize now what they did not renlize last
summer the application of or

quarantine and urban sanitation will

Alligators are the next animals to be
in danger of complete determination
at the hands of reckless and merciless
hunters, comments the Chicago Herald.
There has been n great demand for al
ligator skin, which for many purposes
is unsurpassed, and with even decent
killing of the creatures the supply OF
this useful leather might be kept up
indefinitely. That their extinction is
close at hand is not surprising when
we learn that over 5000, 900 have been
killed in Florida since 1880, and that
600 was at one time fair week 3 work.
AS it is with the alligators, buffalos
md seals. so it is with many species of
southern birds which have been SO re-
lentlessly slaughtered for their plum
age that within few years they will
become absolutely extinct.

Delicate MACHINERY.

After going through q pin factory
one is easily persuaded to believe that
machinery can be taught to think. In
the first place, the wire from which
the pins are made is examined by q
machine that seems to scan every par
ticle of it, as though to detect any de-
feet that might exist in its substance.
Then it measures off bit, just long
enough for one pin, and hands it over
to another piece of mechanism that
holds it against file-wheel until tits
pointed. 1t is then passed on to an.
other file-wheel, where it is smoothed
and finished; then travels little
further, where it is seized by n arir,
and forced into recess, where tho
head is made. A pair of pincers then
takes it from the die and drops it into
tiGy, aud the work Of the machine is
done. The whole process does not oc-
cupy five seconds, for the piucers that
catch md drop the pins work so fast
that the pins nre coming all the time
in stream from the machine, but so
remarkable is the mechanism, SO infal-
liblc in its action at every point, that
it really appears to reason as it works.

Beyond the shadows lies Twilight Town,
Whore wee heads nod and lids shut down
Over black eyes, blue eyes, gray and browns
And through gap in tho city wall
Is n beautiful spot where sunbeams fall
And dance for aye, through tree-tops tall.

Soft and slow. let US go
Soft rs the wind through ripping wheat.
When the suns lost rays and tho shadows
meet,
Sounds the patter OF thousands Of little feet.
Through the gap In tho wall, on their dim
pied knees,
The babies creep under the waving trees,
On the grass OF tho kingdom, "Do-ls-yoa-
please"
Hush, baby! Soft and slow,
Slow, slow, let us go
Through tho gap in tho wall OF Twilight
Town.
In Twilight Town all things arc fair,
Tho music OF waterfalls In tho air.
And bright wings fitting hero and thero;
And through tho walls in tho Dream Hill,
bright
With tho thoughts that please wee ones at
night,
Dancing in rings on cobwebs light.
Hush, dearie! Mother knows
Soft, slow, baby goes
To fair Dream Hill, in Twilight Town.

Says the Century Magazine: The
United States sells its forest lands ut
$3.50 an acre, lumber companies in
directly acquiring square mile of land
for little over $1,000, while the timber
on it is often worth $4,000. The
French Government forests return m
average profit of so. 80 an acre annually
from timber sales, or two and a hall
per cent interest on the value of the
land. The United States now owns
only enough forest land to provide a
continual timber supply to its present
population, if forests are managed and
used as in Germany. The United
States is exactly in the position of n
man making largo drafts on and using
up an immense idle capital, which, if
properly invested, would return IN in
terest sufficient for his expenditures.
In 1885 the Government of Bavaria
sent an expert forester to study the
timbers Of the United States, who
stated: 'In fifty years you will have
to import your timber, and as you will
probably have preference for Ameri-
can kinds, we shall now begin to grow
them, in order to be ready to send
them to you at the proper time"

The shutdown of some of the Lowell

ing fact that for the last few years n
constantly increasing number of the
French Canadian employees have been

The New York Medical journal re

The New York Medical Journal re-
Gently contained paper on ozone in
the treatment Of diphtheria, written
by Doctor Irving s. Haynes, which
deserves attention and is in the nature
of medical discovery. A preparation
OF ozone has been used in cases OF
tuberculosis with SUCCESS, and the new
preparation which Doctor Haynes has
employed in diphtheria is called "thera-
pol" 1t has been used in cases OF
diphtheria which hal been given nd.
and In six cases out of seven of This
class recovery has been effected. The
reatment is the swabbing of the throat
with therapol, and the injection of the
liquid into each nostril of the patient,
who is kept upon his back SO TINT the
disinfection of the entire nose and
throat can be secured. The treatment
IS completed by the use of the usual
iron mixture as gargle, and where the
larynx is attacked, calomcl fumigations
must be used. The membrane is dis
solved usually in from eight to forty
eight hours, its removal depending
upon the severity Of the attack.

To cut track through the high and
precipitous mountainso of North Queens
land the men nre obliged to be hung
in chains, and, notwithstanding this
precaution, about fifty have lost their
lives by losing their footing and being
dashed down 1000 feet into the chasms
below. Twice the attempt to form this
roadway has all but been abandoned,
but the contractors, with characteristic
pluck, have addressed themselves to
the work again.
