The COckrOacl,.

One of the worst enemies which the
cockroach has is the scorpion. the lat
ter being able to run it down even in
the open. 1t was in Jamaica, West In.
dies, that the writer, sitting in room,
carpeted, as all rooms are in the West
Indies, noticed cockroach crawling
out from chink between two boards.
Those West Indian cockroaches are not
the water bugs of this State. They are
large, loathsome-looking insects, from
an inch to an inch and half long, and
the curses of the tropics, as they will
eat everything, destroying in short
time boots, books and clothing, and
they leave horrible odor behind hem.
Its only use seems to be that of a scav-
enger.
The particular cockroach in question
came most cautiously from its retreat.
The cockroach was on the forage and
the watcher was waiting until it was far
enough..from its home to give him some
chance of squashing out its life.
The chance never came, for of Il sud
den the roach darted off at full spee.l /. IL
rate which is by no means to be de-
spi,ed in an almost opposite direction
to its home. In hot pursuit was a scor-
pion, its tail bent over its back, going
at its utmost speed, which was much
greater than that of the cockroach. The
latter was soon held in the claws Of he
former, and sting by the tail seemed
to kill it, apparently, instantly. The
writer had never seen scorpion per-
form, but the good deed of this one did
not prevent it soon finding home
among some of its relatives in bottle
of spirits.
1t nay be interesting to note that
scorpions apparently have no power to
harm the common fowl. Fowls are
passionately fond Of the roach, and the
colored people in their quaint proverbs,
have these two on the subject
When roach glib party, him neber ax
fowls" and If roach eber so drunk,
him neber cross fowl yard.

Russian merchants do very little
advertising, principally because the
great majority of the humber classes
can not read, and this is not to be
wondered at, as there are thirty six letters
in the Russian alphabet, which seem to
have the combined difficulties of the
Greek. Chinese and Arabian characters.
The signs ON the stores in Russia are
mostly pictorial; for instance, the dairy
signs are cows; the tea signs are China
men slipping tea; a BARRIERS sign, a
bare-armed man shaving another, etc.
Russia uses more candles than any
other country, sixty million pounds a
year being the estimate. A large part
of these are made in houses instead of
factories. One estimate states that
seventy five thousand men make seven
hundred and fifty million dollars of
goods in their own homes. The fine
shawls known as "ring shawls" are
made entirely by hand by the peasants
of Oremburg, and Russian laces, vel
vets, carpets, bronzes, silverware and
enamel ware are beautifully made, some
of these things being the finest in the
world

Bald Heads.

1t is maintained by physician who
has studied the subject, that plenty OF
hair on the head means plenty of brains
that the hair is a sure index of one $
mental staying power. Il always look
on bald headed man" he says, as de-
ticient, not only in hair, but in actual
brain power. You know each hair is
connected with the brain by tiny
nerve, and the loss of all these nerves
means loss of powers. Indeed, though
the effects may not be at first SO appar.
ent, man may as we'll lose his hand or
his foot as his hair. If you doubt this
the next time you hear of man who
has all his life been clear-headed and
practical suddenly doing some foolish
and inexplicable thing, or breaking
down in crisis which demands all his
energies-just look at his head. In nine
times out of ten he is bald. Half the
men who drop dead suddenly are bald.
In almost every case. however, there is
hope of cure for badness if the head
he regularly submitted to gentle
scratching" and occasionally to thor.
ough dosing of a suitable, stimulating
soap.

Found in the Sewer.

Before commencing operations the
London sewer hunters provide them
selves with bull's-eye lantern, can
vas apron, and pole some seven Or
eight feet in length, having an iron at
tachment at one end somewhat in the
shape of a hoe. For greater conven
ience, the lantern is invariably fixed to
the right shoulder, so that when walk
ing the light is thrown ahead, and when
STOPPING its rays shine directly to their
feet Thus accoutred they walk slowly
along through the mud, feeling with
their make feet for anything unusual,
at the same time raking of the accu-
mutation from the walls and picking
up from the crevices any article they
see. Nothing is allowed to escape
them, no matter what its value, pro-
vided it is not valueless. Old iron,
pieces of rope, bones, current coin of
the realm, and articles of plate anl
jewelry all is good fish which comes
to the hunters net. With finds" in
the way of coins, copper of course pre-
dominates but silver and even gold
pieces are often found. Shirt studs,
diamond rings, silver spoons, silver
drinking vessels and many other quite
out Of place articles swell the list from
time to time. Lucky finds such as
those above mentioned do not deter the
hunter from keeping sharp lookout
for less valuable articles as they float
by. His eagle eye" from long prac-
tice is capable of Judging the worth of
the floating refuse before it would be
even discernible to the ordinary OBJ
server Mile after mile does the sewer
hunter traverse under ground until a
tolerably heavy bag is result of his
labor. Night or day is all one to him.
Some gangs enter the sewers at night
and work on until morning, while
others carry out the search only during
the daytime. Rats abound everywhere,
some of them being of enormous size.
large enough to frighten any beginner
1t the game. The experienced hunter,
however, takes no notice of them, and
the rats are only too pleased to sneak
away in the darkness.

Keep Your Mouth Shut.

A noted specialist connected with one
of the largest English hospitals de-
voted to the treatment of throat diseases
renews attention to the risks attendant
upon the practice of breathing through
the mouth. That the natural method
of respiration is through the nasal Or
gans is a fact which many people studi.
ously ignore, and this to their great
detriment, as DIR. Smith conclusively
shows. TO breathe through the mouth
(which during sleep. is the cause of
snoring) is to pave the way for the en-
trance of an almost endless series of
ills, and any one who has contracted
the bad habit should endeavor to fol-
low the healthier and more natural
method. This physician especially
warns parents to see that their little
ones do not acquire the habit Of mouth
breathing. He emphasizes the fact
that when a child begins to breathe
otherwise than through natures chan
nels, it is in danger.

DANGEROUS RAlNDROPS.

why They DO Not XIII Those They 4 ~
Upon.
Of course we all know that it would
be an utter impossibility for Storm
clouds to form and rain to fall were il
not for the forty old miles of atmo pi,ero
that rise above our heads. But, sup
posing it We're possible for human b.
ings to exist in an atmosphere that only
rose to level with their mouths, and
that storm clouds could form in the
region outside such low grade atnos-
phere then every raindrop would provo

steel bullet fired from a dynamite
gun, says Nmnyc.
All falling bodies, whether they be
crystal raindrops or meteorites, fall
with what philosophers term "a uniform
accelerated motion ) in other words, il
body be moving at certain velocity
at the expiration of one second from tho
beginning of its fall it will be moving
with twice that velocity at the expira,
tion of two seconds, gaining speed at 4
uniform rate throughout the whole
course of its fall.
Careful experiments have shown that
the rate per second at which bodies ac-
quire velocity in falling through the air
is thirtytwo feet per second at the end
of the first second from starting, At
the end of the next second it is going at
the rate of sixty-four feet per second,
and so or through the whole time OF
falling. Where the velocity is know,
the space through which the body has
fallen may be ascertained by multiply
ing the velocity at that period by tho
number of seconds during which it has
been falling and dividing the result by
two.
This rule applies, however, only 10
bodies falling through vacuum. The
resistance of our atmosphere materially
retards raindrops, hailstones, aerolite,
and all other bodies which fall through
it, and were it not for the resistance 1t
presents, every rainstorm would be dis
astrous to the human race, as each dror
would fall with velocity great enough,
to penetrate the full length of u full
grown mans body.
