The Locomotive Whistle.

When locomotives were first built
and began to trundle their small loads
up and down the newly and rudely con-
structed railways of England, the coun-
try roads were for the most part cross
, ed at grade, and the engine-driver had
no way of giving warning of his ap-
proach except by blowing a tin horn
This horn, as may be imagined. was
! far from being sufficient warning.
One day in the year 1888 a farmer of
thornton was crossing the railway
tracks on one of the country roads with
a great load of eggs and butter. Just
as he came out upon the track train
approached. The engineman blew his
tin horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear 1t. Eighty dozen of eggs and fifty
pounds of butter were smashed into
an indistinguiShab bic. unpleasant mass,
and mingled with the kindling wood to
which the wagon was reduced The
railway company had to pay the far
mer the value of his fifty pounds of
butter, his 960 eggs, his horse and his
wagon.
1t was regarded as a very serious
matter; and straightway a director of
the company, Ashlen Bagster by name.
went TO Alton Grange. where George
Stephenson lived. to see if he could
not invent something that would give
warming more likely to be heard.
Stephenson went to work and the next
day had a contriyance which, when at
tached to the engine boiler, and the
steam turned on, gave out shrill dis
cordant sound. The railway directors.
greatly delighted. ordered similar con-
trivances attached to all the lOcomo-
tives, and from that day to this the
voice of the locomotive whistle has
never been silent-Cardiff Mail.

Where Fish Get Their Shells,

There is not much lime in the sea-
probably not more than there was i'm
Falstaff's ''sack"-but there is enough.
And the use it is put to is one of the
curiosities of natural history
Every inhabitant of the ocean which
has a shell derives the material of
which that hard covering is composed
from the water. Besides, the lime Sc
creted or rather separated from it's
food, as birds do it for making q cover
ing for their eggs, mollusks take up the
largest amount directly out of the wat
er they breathe.
Every time an oyster draws water
which is held in solution, is taken DOS
session of by appropriate vessels, and
goes directly to the living membrane.
which deposits it, and thus the shell
grows.
1t is assured that single drop of sea
water contains only about the ten thou
sand six hundredth part of a grain of
lime. But the incessant respiration of
the dweller, in one or two years, makes
a house weighing in some cases many
pounds.
When the animal dies most of the
shells gravitate and aggregate at the
bottom, where, becoming broken and
impacted into solid masses, mixed i'm
fine, earthly deposits under immense
hydrostatic pressure and chemical
forces, they become marble.
All marble quarries are supposed to
have thus originated in the abysses of
primitive seas, and were afterwards
elevated to where they are found by
upheaval.

Of us would consider "discretion the

Recently one of the inmates of the

In several cases the great beast has

flesh -appetizing in spite of its semi
fossil character: mammoth bones have
been proved to contain remunerative
amount of gelatine, and in Kamschat-
ka to this day mammoth fat is largely
used for fuel
The first mammoth tusk seen in west
ern Europe was brought to London in
1911 by one James Logan, who had
purchased it from the Samoyedes; and
Father Avril, a Jesuit, who crossed
Siberia IN 16So, wrote that the Rus
slams have discovered a sort of ivory
whittier and smoother than that which
comes from India
The substance was priced. too, as a
styptic, and was said to be derived
from a powerful amphibious creature,
las big and as dangerous as a croco-
ollie, living chiefly at the mouth of
the Lena.
Fossil ivory towards the close of the
eighteenth century became an object
OF general commerce, and incredible
quantities were exported from its Arc
tic repository. Middendorf, about fifty
years ago, estimated the annual sale
at 10000 pounds weight, and upward
of 1,6OO tusks are known to have reach
ed London in 1872.
Yet the supply remains unexhausted,
and may, indeed, be called inexhausti-
BILE. 1t is the demand, which has of
late fallen off or failed. In Russia or
China, it is true. almost exclusive use
is made of the excavated material, but
its brittleness and tendency to dis
coloration practically exclude it from
western markets.-Edinburgh Review.

Snakes in the Home Circle.

One would hardly expect to find rep
tiles domesticated, but they are found
in that position at Para, not far from
the mouth Of the Amazon, says the
Pail Mall Budget. The stores and
warehouses of that city are overrun
with vermin Of all sorts, and more es-
pecially rats. To keep down this
plague young boas or jibolas are placed
in the cellars, and subsist comfortably
on the plentiful supply Of food thus af-
forded. The BraZilians say that they
keep down to reasonable limits the
rats, which would otherwise play havoc
with any goods they could get at. The
fact that boas feed only at somewhat
long intervals accounts for the fact
that there always seem to be just rats
enough for their subsistence, while they
perform their catlike duties most salts
factorily. But, as we have said, they
also act as very efficient watchdogs.
The skin of the boa is an article Of
commerce both in the Brazils and East
ern Asia In the latter its chief use is
to form the heads Of banjos and other
native musical instruments, it being
extremely tough and hard. In Brazil
it is also used at times to make riding
boots, and forms an excellent substi-
tute for upper" leather, that Of the
anaconda being the best. As to vital
ity, a specimen in my possession, which
had attacked a visitor, lived eighteen
months with an open hole in it's skull
about an inch deep, caused by bar
used to beat it off the men 1t had seiz
ed. The land boa may be said to have
but one enemy apart from man, and
that, curiously, one Of the most insig
nificant Of insects, the ant. A certain
species, peculiar to northern Brazil,
make annual pilgrimages from their
jungle retreats to some other point,
often distant many miles, and destroy
every living creature that stays in their
track, except man and domestic ami
mails or cattle. The monkey or the
jaguar knows enough to flee before the
invading host, but the snake does not
appear to realize his danger until at
tackled by millions of his tiny but per
sistent foes. Twistings and writings
are alike in vain to shake them off,
and the passing traveller may often
see, as I have seen myself, the bleach.
ed skeleton of a huge snake which has
thus been literally devoured alive The
ants are, Of course, considerably larger
than the British varieties, but seem
puny enemies to successfully demolish
a reptile monarch Of the jungle.

RIGHTS OF ANIMALS.
Perhaps We Ought to Treat Them With
More Ciyility and Respect.

Perhaps We Ought to Treat Them With
More Civility and Respect.
Sir Arthur Helns insisted on 'cour-
tesy" to animals We are to be civil
spoken to them, and not to bully where
we might persuade. Count Tolstoi
never uses the ', ilip; he simply talks
to his horse Mr.. Bright long since fol-
lowed on the same side as Sir Arthur
Helps. He thought that kindness to
animals should be taught at school.
This is awkward, says a writer in the
London Daily News, for he loved to
hook some Of them by the gills, for
sport. 1t is needless to say that every
form of sport is barred by Mr.. Salt
and his school. There is, of course, no
lack of champions on the other side.
Some writer's argue that because ami
mails have mo souls" we are entitled
to do what we like with their bodies.
Mr.. Wood-the naturalist-altogethe
declined to accept the premises. What
do we know about their souls? he ask
ed; and it is clear enough that he hoped
his faithful dog would bear him COM
pany in the next world. The brutes,
he said, have reason, language, mem
ory, a sense of moral responsibility, I'M
selfishnesS and love, and there are no
higher qualities in the spiritual bag
gage of man. If they have no hope of
a future life, argued Primatt, one of
their earliest champions, there is all
the more reason for ackno wledging
their right to good time in this one.
Bentham pleaded logically in their
favor, but rather gave them away in
defending roast beef On the ground that
their pains in providing it were not
equal to our pleasures in the use.
The ''vermin" argument is said to be

HindoOS apparently have no difficulty
about that, and in Theosophical houses,
we believe, beetles have been known
to range freely about the drawing
room. The rule is absolute: nothing
must be killed. But then how does the
Hindoo walk abroad, or even breathe:
He must put hundreds Of things to
death in each operation. Probably
every morning stroll of innocence
through the meadows imports a whole
hecatomb of slain. Small birds are
pretty plain sailing. We are all agreed
that the murder for millinery goes too
far. One dealer in London is said to
have received, as a single consignment,
$4,000 humming birds, $4,000 aquatic
birds and $4,000 pairs of wings.

HON. JOHN FL. GEAR.

The election of Hon. John HI. Gear,
of Iowa, to the United States Senate
by his Republican colleagues of the
Iowa Legislature few days ago was
not a surprise to us, as we had all
along predicted his election. Ex
Gov. Gear needs no introduction to
the people of this country, as his
long public services as Governor of
his State and Congressman and AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury un-
der Mr.. Harrison's administration have
made his name a household word
from ocean to ocean. His record as
a legislator is SO we'll known that
more than a notice is necessary. He
is one of the greatest debators in the
House of Representatives, command
ing at all times the attention of the
House whenever he speaks. As an au,
thority on the culture of sugar and
all matters pertaining thereto he has
no equal. Governor Gear is the au-
thor of the free sugar clause in the
Mckinley bill. His fine knowledge
of manufactures and what is needed
for the best interest of the poor man
is seen all through that famous bill of
the last Republican administration
Gov. Gear is easy to approach, and
has a pleasant word for those who
are fortunate enough to meet him
He is a man of the people, and you
can find him always ready to defend
their interest. We say to our Repub-
lican friends throughout the country
that it is well to keep an eye on the
genial Senator elect. When Mr.. Lin.
coin was nominated by the Repub-
licans for President of the United
States in 1860 he had not made the
public record that Governor Gear
has made, yet he was nominated and
elected. The toiling masses need a
man like Gov Gear. he is in touch
with the plain people. They find their
man in the person of the newly
elected Senator from the State of
Iowa.

A certain gentleman of this city re-
Gently remarked to representative OF

public schools were not fit for his chill
dren to attend. He is the same party
who attempted to palm off his young

colored school was farther than
that of the white school, and fol.
lowing his constitutional preroga-

This "certain gentleman" has
never, at any time, attempted to

wife would be guilty of such an
act. To the contrary, he has al

This ''certain gentleman has
been abused by certain school
marms, who, if rumors about them
are true, are not fit to enter the
door of respectable families, much
less teach their children. The
taxpayers and heads of families
should not be content until such
characters are weeded out OF the
public schools; and not withstand-
