A Canine Electrician

Many people in Brighton, says cor
respondent of an English paper, are
interested just now in watching the
clever work of ''strip, the electrician"
who, after laying down m.ny miles
length of copper wire for the purpose
of electric lighting in London, has
lately come here with the same object.
ssStrip" is a clever little fox terrier,
the property of Messrs. Crompton, the
electrical engineers, and she is under
the protection of the company's night
watchman. Strips method of doing
work is as follows:-The workmen lay
down in the desired position short
length of the short iron pipe which is
to shelter corresponding length of
the copper wire along which the cleo
trio current will ultimately pass. The
iron pipe having been fixed, Strip is
called, has the end of the copper wire
fastened to her collar and, at sign,
goes in at one end of the pipe and pre-
sents herself at the other end to the
workman awaiting her there, who
thrusts his hand under the bar, un-
fastens Strips collar and draws it and
the wire out. Strip, when she feels
the collar gone, turns round, retraces
her steps, comes out again at the same
end she went in at, and lies down on
the workmen's coats until she is wanted
again.

South American Vampires.

Ever since the South American con-
tinent was discovered, especially that
part of it lying between the Amazon
and the Orinoco Rivers, travellers have
come from there with wonderful tales
of the vampires, or, as they call them,
blood sucking bats. As fact, little Is
known about these pests. That there
are blood sucking bats which feed not
only on the blood of man, but slso
animals, is an undoubted fact, and
though the writer himself has never
been bitten by one, he has, while travel
ing in the interior of British Guiana,
seen Indians and ponies that had un-
doubtedly been bitten by these bats.
In the case of man attacked, tho
the or nose is the point punctured,
while animals ale liable to be bitten
anywhere. How the bat does it's work
has not been made clear, for no man
has yet awakened while being operated
on by one of these bats, despite the
fact that considerable blood is ex-
tracted, and more or less loss of blood
takes place after the operation. 1t ls
probable that the bat hovers during
the operation, rather than rests on the
body. The rapid vibration of the soft
wings probably also has soothing ef-
feet on the part operated on.
The blood suckers belong to only
two OF three species and wherever these
are found there are also many others
whose food is only fruit or insects, or
both. The most natural mistakes about
the bats, which are innocent of proving
on man or beasts, is the common sup
position that vampyrus spectrum is q
blood sucker. The stretch of wings of
this bat frequently reaches three feet,
and it has most ferocious aspect, with
enormously large and pointed canine
teeth. It is perfectly certain that in
most parts of British Guiana this bat is
only fruit eater and is a serious pest
to fruit growers. New York Telegram.

How to Catch Rheumatism.

The plan is simple, and is invariably
successful when diligently pursued.
Clothe as warmly as possible with fan
nels next the skin, and sealskins outer
most from November to the beginning
of March. Then on the first clear
sunny day in March, when the wind is
in the north or northeast, take off all
outer wraps, mantles, capes, sealskins
and the like; wear gowns Of aight and
thin material, and go for walk in the
park or other open and unprotected
place. Sit down full in the wind on a
convenient seat, and sit for half an
hour. Then 60 home and wake with
q successful attack of rheumatism next
morning.
If perchance the rheumatism should
fail, it is probable that pleurisy or
pneumonia may be the reward. But
if, by miracle, neither the one nor
the other repays the trouble taken,
then go out and repeat the same tao
tics the next day, and the next, and the
next, until success is assured. The
recipe is warranted never to fail if
persevered in for sufficient length Of
time. A plan almost equally good is
the one followed by two young ladies
last week. They had both had rheu-
matte fever previously yet, because the
sun happened to shine brightly in at
the dining-room window for a few
hours, they allowed the fire to 60 out.
They sat without fire the remainder of
the day and evening. The following
being bright morning, they did not
have the fire lighted at all They were
both extremely surprised when they
were attacked by rheumatic pains in
all their limbs, and blamed the neigh
borhood. od.-London Hospital.

Increase in Murders.

The race of public executioners is
not wholly extinct in Belgium, al
though the Office has been little more
than q sinecure for nearly half 9 CEN
tury. The other day the headsman OF
Brussels was borrowed by the head
manless Bruges to 60 through with be-
coming solemnity the exceedingly silly
ceremony of mailing to post SEN
tence of imprisonment pronounced in
default on some petit larcener. Ant
werp almost simultaneously obtained q
loan for similar purposes of the SER
vices of 'Monsieur de Liege," ono
Hamel, whose practical acquaintance
with the guillotine ceased in 1866.
The disappearance of condemned
convict necessitated the journey of M.
Hamel to the banks of the Scheldt,
where he grsvely performed the same
farce as was enacted by his colleague
of Brussels in the city of Memling.
Since 1856 no assassin has perished on
a Belgian scafoh. Last years .cata-
logue of crime in Belgium was long and
terrible; 1898 is still young, but each
week has brought with it some deed Of
blood
Within the last few days the Belgian
press has chronicled the deaths by de-
iberate violence of no fewer than five
persons, some of them being attended
with circumstances Of aggravation
which beggar description. In view OF
this state of affairs the Belgian News
asks whether this long suspension,
amounting almost to abolition, of capi-
tai punishment has or has not been for
the public good, and suggests that In
spite of the great aversion which King
Leopold is known to feel to signing q
death warrant, the amended Belgian
Constitution must deal efectually with
state of things which has insensibly
rendered negative and ilusve that
most salutary clause Of the Belgian
Penal Code which should, under other
circumstances, strike terror into the
hearts of evil doers-St. James Ga

The Canary Industry.

Fer more than q century the breed
ing Of canaries has been thriving In
dustry IN parts OF Germany. In 1850
the German dealers began to ship the
birds to New York, and then to South
America and Australia. The profits
are small but the industry is godsend
to the poor, who make the small wooden
cages. It is estimated that about $50, :
600 canary birds are raised every year
in Germany. The most important
market is the United States, which
takes about 100000 birds per annum.

Whistled Language Of Canary Islands.

Whistled Language Of Canary Islands.
AS q result of his studies Of the
whistled language of Gomera, in the
Canary Islands, M. j. Lajard afirms
that it is not special idiom or a whistle
which tries to initiate the Spanish Ian
guage; but it is the Spanish language
strengthened by the aid of whistling.
'The Gomerian, while he is speaking,
puts one, two, or four fingers in his
mouth, as we sometimes see done in
the street in order to make shrill
sounds, and at the same time be whistles
with force. There results @ mixture
of words md whistle, unintelligible to
ears not accustomed to it, but in which
can be distinguished the words of the
language. The whistling, then, is only
an artifice employed to carry to dis
tance the sound Of the voice, to the
detriment of its distinctncss and tone
quality. This last Inconvenience is so
great that up to this time travellers
have been unable to understand the
whistled language. TU be able to un-
derstand it, you must know how to
whistle yourself" It is, however, very
limited in it's compass, and whistled
conversations are Of short duration. 1t
exists in other of the Canary Islands
than in Gomera, and there is reason
for believing that it was formerly more
widespread and more prevalent than
now. Rudiments of O whistled Ian
guage, the mechanism of which is like
that of the Canaries, exist even in
Paris; it is employed by butchers and
thieves. Popular Science Monthly.

III Results Of Early Rising.

A German doctor has discovered that
the majority of the people who live
long sit up late at night. Eight-tenths
of the people who reach eighty never
(so he says) 60 to bed until the small
hours and take care not to get up until
the day is well aired. Not only is it q
very fine thing to 60 to bed late, BUTT
is correspondingly dangerous to get up
early. 'Early rising" says the doc
tor, "tends to exhaust the physical
powers and to shorten life" Indeed,
If you have got the wrong kind of con-
stitution for early rising the practice
may carry you off in the flower ofyouth.
