An Insect that Sometimes Makes Life &
Burden in the Antipodes.
On each of three visits l have made
recently to the bush have unwilling
" brought home with me specimens of
these pests. One was industriously
boring into the ear Of my little daugh-
ter before its presence was noticed. and
it had become half hidden before the
irritation which il set up led to its be-
ing dislocated. A second fastened on
the back of the hand of my wife. and
third fastened on to my hand, and in
each case Inflammation had set up as
the result Of the boring of the insect.
All these specimens were minute black
specimens, resembling splinters of
wood. One Saturday, after return
ing from a visit TO the bush.
L discovered an altogether different
specimen of the tick, which had
commenced operations upon my head
and at the back of my ear. This fell
low had so firmly attached himself to
my skin that it was necessary to use
force TO remove him. He was OF a
light brown, was of the shape and
house bug, and his legs were armed
with barbs, which fully accounted for
the teuaeity which he possessed.

BALTIC STREAMS.
Influence of Current In the Skase-ack
and North Sea.

ANU -NOTIn sea.
Prof. Peterson contributes memoir
on recent Swedish photographic re-
search in the Baltic and North seas.
These researches, the professor SAYS,
have thrown new light on the Baltic
current-in the Skagerack and North
sea. The outfiowing and inflowing cur
rents which traverse the SllageraclI
can readily be DISTINGUISHED BY the diff
ferent salinity of the water, the in
flowing current containing more than
g. per cent. and the outfiowing cur
rent less than 80 per cent. of salt
In winter, when the outfiowing cur
rent or Baltic stream is reduced to its
minimum by the freezing of the rivers,
1t shrinks to the dimensions of mar
row current along the coast-the
Skagerack resembling whirlpool
with still water in the middle-and the
moving water blowing along the coasts.
Everywhere the water is warmer than
the air, but most so in the center.
Thus, while the air at or below zero. c.
is in contact with water of nearly the
same temperature off the Swedish
coast, In the center of the Skagerack,
1t rests on water which may be as much
as five degrees.
In this way. a central mass of rela-
lively warm air is produced. surrounded
by concentric layers which are colder
and colder. This not only effects the
climate of the Swedish coast, but is
favOra bic to the attraction or forma-
ton of cyclones. In the spring the
cold Baltic stream overspreads the
warm central waters OF the Skagerack
with a fresher and colder layer, de-
stroying the conditions favoring the
formation or passage of cyclones, and
thus produces the typical dry and cold
spring weather which prevails in Swe-
den.-Scottish Geographical Magazine.

refined woman of aesthetic taste will
have the drawers of her dressing case

When the lining is made sprinkle sachet

In olden times ladies made their own
perfume. Why not now? 1t is dainty
chemistry for women, and the results
are so satisfactory. Formulas for
sachet powder, which will meet every
requirement in that line, are given be-

Violet sachet is made by mixing two
pounds OF powdered Florentine orris
root with a pound of rose petals. a
pound of cassia flower heads. a pound
of black currant leaves, a fourth of a
drachm of altar OF almonds and half a
pound of powdered gum benzoline. Mix
well and sift. Let the powder stand in
a tight glass jar for a week before
using.
Lavender Is delicious perfume for

dried lavender, a pound of rose leaves,
half pound of clOsely-crushed orris
root, two ounces of cinnamon and
pound of dry table salt. Keep in an
alright jar two weeks before using.
Rose sachet powder is made of a
pound of petals of any rose preferred,
half pound of ground sandal wood
and a fourth of an ounce of altar OF
roses. Keep week before using.
For heliotrope powder take half
pound of orris root, one-quarter of a
pound of ground rose leaves, two ounces
of powdered TOnquin bean, one ounce
Of vanilla bean, two drops OF altar of
almonds. Mix by sitting through a
coarse sieve. This is very delicate for
a sachet powder, and may be used in
the wardrobe or linen closet.-Goot
