Animal Food in Japan.

There are still many people, especial-
ly in the interior parts Of japan, who
have never tasted any animal faodsi6
their lives and look upon it via hor-
ror, while a great many conservative
women do not touch it even at the
present day. Moreover, animal food il
expensive in Japan and is therefore
considered a luxury whiclfis quite out
of the reach Of the no6r. During the
whole year of 1sses0nly 81, III bulls and
cows were killed in japan to supply
meat for 4o,OoO,OO0 people, and ii IS
worthy of note that there were t,Osis-
sos Bulls and cows in the country DUR
ing that year, while the number OF the
slaughtered probably included many
animals which were not slain for sup
plying human food.

a Lover Of Fresh Air.

Queen Victoria seems almost imper-
vious to draughts and cold, and no
doubt this makes her somewhat incon-
siderate to those around her. Her
sons and daughters frequently COM
plain of the coldness of their mothers
home. She is quite unlike most old
ladies of her age in many of her tastes;
and while they enjoy the cozy arm
chairs before the fire the queen is talk
ing her daily drive. 1t has to be very
bad weather to stop this regular out
ing; for, though rain and snow may
close the carriage. her majesty Is al
ways very loath to give up her drives.
And they are drivesl The pace at
which she likes to go is another in
stance in which the queen differs from
most of her sex and age. They are, as
rule, content with, and even anx-
ious for, very slow and dignified man
ner of progression. But not SO her
majesty. Twelve miles an hour is the
pace at which she insists on being
driven when she is in the country, and,
as she knows the distances of all the
drives in the neighborhood of her diff
ferent homes, she at once detects If
her commands are not being carried
out. Directly horse is unable to go
this pace he is no longer eligible for
her maiesty's use.

A rather formidable compe titor of

the Midlands in the shape Of pneu-
matte road skate, It,has lately been

and, judging from she -Gdlnirer ve
exeites, Is not sJiiiI0Ely 10 ,firid fits4in's

The inventien,w which was patefteds
Snort time ago by a Scotch firm, is Nj
dently derived from the old.f5lef
skate of skating rink celebrity but.
whereas the ordinary roller slsSto has
four wheels, the pneumatic sltste has
Only two placed in line at efther exs
tremity of the skate. The wheels are
rather larger than those Of the roller
skate, and instead of solid rubber are
covered with pneumatic tires The
patentees claim for them that one can
skate over ordinary turnpike roads
with them the same as on ice and at
even greater speed, while at the same
time they will easily ascend and de-
soend hills. Six or seven miles an
hour. however, is the maximum speed
attempted in the streets of Birming-
ham, and that only on smooth roads.
One obvious advantage of the pneu-
matte skate over the pneumatic cycle
is that punctured tires may be readily
replaced, as the skater may carry sur
plus tires, or even reserve wheels ready
fitted, in his overcoat pocket.

An EnnIiah TrallltIon.

There is large bowlder lying in a
field near ForemarlS, England, which
is known throughout Derbyshire as
sHangman's Stone" The exposed por-
ton of the bowlder rises about six
feet above the surface of the surround
ing field and has a narrow ditch or in
dentation running across the top. The
mark, so tradition says, was made in
this way; A sheep thief in the dead Of
night, while leaning against the.
bowlder to rest, placed his booty above
on the fiat surface of the stone. The
man had the sheep tied with a rope
and in its effort to escape the creature
slipped on the opposite side, and the
rope catching under the thief's chin
choked him to death. The indentation
in the rock was made by the friction of
the rope while the dying man was en-
gagged in an effort to extricate himself.

SCENES AT THE SEAS BOTTOM.
A Tutor at the Paris University Succeeds
In Taking Submarine Photographs.

A Tutor at the Paris University Succeeds
In Taking Submarine Photographs.
NJ Louis Bouton, a tutor at the Paris
university, who has been for some time
distinguished by his submarine investi-
cations and geological treatises on the
Red sea, has now, says the Paris
Figaro, succeeded in taking photo
graphs of sights which he encountered
in the depths of the sea. Descending
by means of divers dress, this gem
tleman manages to carry with him a
small camera specially constructed for
the purpose. After trying for some
time to operate in the natural light to
be had at the bottom of the sea, he
found that it was too weak to produce
photographs, so he next attempted
with magnesium to obtain flash that
would enable him to take by the in
stantaneous process. He contrived a
small spirit lamp resting on a bottle of
oxygen and covered by a glass shade,
and into this lamp he threw some
magnesia by means Of an india-rubber
ball which was pressed for the pur-
pose.
At each flash thus obtained photo
graph was produced. These expert
ments have been made in a quiet bay
near the coast, in the ichthyological
laboratory at Banyulser-Mer, but the
success which has attended them leads
to the hope that soon we may venture
further ahead. Already dreams Of au-,
tomato apparatus are not wanting
which could be sunk and return with
pictures Of the deep sea such as no
mortal eye has ever beheld. NJ. Bou-
ton relates that while he was busy
with his experiments large numbers of
fish and other creatures that inhabit
the depths of the sea gathered round
the spot with evident curiosity about
the nature of the proceeding. But
they showed no fear. When he tried
to touch or catch them they merely
moved aside to evade his grasp, but
were not disturbed, nor did they move
away to any great distance from the
spot in which they were interested.

LOST ATLANTIS NOT A MYTH.
A Toronto Professor Believes 1t Was tn
American Continent.


A Toronto Professor Believes 1T Was the
American Continent.
Ignatius Donnelly finds a supporter
of his Atlantis theory in Sir Daniel
Wilson. president of the University of
Toronto, who declares, after great
deal of search, that the lost Atlantis
was not a myth, but that it was really
the continent of America. He accounts
for it's disappearance from view in a
different way, but that is merely Incl
dental.
Donnelly's theory, as summarized by
the Milwaukee Journal, was that the
land was submerged by some great
volcanic upheaval, and that from those
who escaped in the continents of Eu-
rope and Asia came the tradition of the
deluge. Sir Daniel rejects this expla-
nation as being disproved by the fact
that there are no traces of such vol
canic action either on the continent or
in the ocean bed. He believes that the
ancient Egyptians, the most progress
sive and adventurous people of ancient
times, discovered the continent, but
that in the decline both of their learn
ing and power it became lost to view
and existed at the time our knowledge
OF Egypt begins merely as shadowy
tradition.
1t is his opinion that traces of the
Egyptians of those days are to be
sought in the ruined cities of Central
America, whose origin has never been
determined or even been made the basis
of any reasonable theory. Such a dis
covery would furnish substantial
basis for the legend of the lost Allan
tis and the theory invests those won
derful ruins with a new interest for
the antiquarians.

lnsect Peats.

An English scientist is quoted as
authority for the statement that there
are five times as many species Of in
sects as there are species Of all other
living things put together. The oak
tree alone supports $50 species of in
sects, and 200 kinds make their home
in the pine. Forty years ago Hum
boldt estimated that the number of
species preserved in collections was be-
tween 10000 and 10000, but scientific
men now say that there must be more
than 100000, without taking into con-
sideration the parasite creatures. OF
the $4,000 species in Europe, however,
not more than $500 are obnoxious or
destructive. There are more than 1O0,-
600 kinds Of beetles.

A DIEEICuLl ZEAL.
Raising Locomotive That Had been
Plunged Into a Muddy River.

Plunged Into Muddy River.
On August 10last, says the San Fran
cisco Call, locomotive went through
big ferryboat and plunged pilot first
into the water of Carquinez straits,
the tender and cars remaining on the
ferryboat. The water was deep enough
to cover the cab, but not enough toilet
the boat out of the slip. The locomo-
tive stood practically vertical, and its
nose was deep in the mud. On the
night of the 18th large pair of shears
made of twelve by twelve inch tim
bers crossed at the top, was built up
on the end of the boat and some large
pulleys hung where the timbers
crossed Then diver spent several
hours in fastening a number of cables
on either side of the frame under the
boiler. Four engines were attached to
the ropes, but could not start the To-
comotive, although the strain was so
great that cable nearly three inches
in diameter was broken. Finding the
appliances of insufficient strength,
the shears were doubled in size, and a
fifth engine taken on board.
On the nth another trial was made.
1t was hard to get the engines to pull
exactly together, and as their wheels
would slip and revolve the cables
would snap and the tackle generally
would be badly strained. Finally a
simultaneous pull started the mass
and the cab slowly appeared above the
water, and the engine was gradually
lifted until somewhat higher than
the floor of the ferry boat. Tackle
from steam dredger stationed in
front of the slip was then attached to
the forward end of the locomotive,
which was pulled out in this way.
The shears were then swung slowly
backward over the deck of the ferry
and the engine gradually lowered to
the tracks it had left. When it was
hauled to the neighboring roundhouso
and the mud washed off it was found
that but little damage had been done
beyond the splintering of the cab by
the cables.
