The prospects for Il full crop OF
house flies next summer is not de-
pendent upon such risky possibilities
as Il wise contemporary would have
us believe. IL is stated by this au-
thor. ty that IA few individuals, In
the torpid state, survive even the
coolest winter, and with the first
warm days o. summerlay their eggs "
Nature makes no such mistake as
taking the chance OF losing a whole
fly crop by freezing oil the old sur.
vivOrs, nor is the rigor OF the crop
jcopardilcd by intirm propagating.
The fly supply for next summer was
provided for in the waning days OF
last autumn. Myriads Of fly eggs arc
now safely tucked away, ready to hc

TIE death OF Rosina Nokes. which
occurred at TorIuay, in Deyonshire,
entails the loss OF a gifted woman
and a beautiful character. Mrs.
Nokes-Clay was an English woman,
but for many years she had confined
her professional career To this coun-
try. In addition her husbands
family was closely allied TO one of the
greatest names in our history, So
that the loss is felt even more keenly
in America than in England. The
professional charms Of this gifted
woman are sufficiently known to the,
atcr-gocrs of a generation past As
an actress she lacked the finish OF
some ard the versatility Of others,
but she had a superintendent cheer
fulneSs and vi>acity, which, com
bined Tith sincerity and al obvious
desire 10 please, won all hearts. The
public abundantly testified their love

Was even more admirable than the
stage career. Rosina Nokes, without
the almost offensive display which
has prejudiccd the public minC
against some British matrons'' OF
the stage, was a model of all the do
nestle virtues. After her marriage
she never played in England. He,

Hot Weather in Australia.

The weather in Australia during
the present antipodean summer has
been unusually hot aud oppressive.
In adelaide during December the
thermometer several times registered
over 100 degrees in the shade, and
one day il climbed TO l07 in the shade
and l6S in the sun. In Melbourne
the 100 notch has been reached more
than once, and the scorching north
winds have made the atmosphere ex-
ceedingly oppressive. The foregoing
figures are from weather observatory
readings, and probably do not repre-
sent by several degrees the tempera-

IT gives some indication OF the
progress Of shipbuIlding 10 note that
at the time the entrance locks OF the
Manchester s%hiL-Canal were designed
there was not a vessel afloat which
could not enter the gates and proceed
up the canal. These locks are at
Eastman, between Run,Oro and
Liverpool, and vessels may enter
them at any lime irrespective OF the
state Of the tide. This is a very
great az advantage over Liverpool, the
docks OF which are tidal. If two YES
sells cross the Mersey bar at the same
time. n for Liverpool and the other
tuaIly begin unloading first, from not
having any delay but the transit OF
the canal. The largest lock at East
ham has a measurement of 600 by so
feet, and the bottom Is twenty-th three
feet below the sill Of the old docks in
Liverpool and nearly twcl' feet be-
low that or the newest docks. AS
the minimum debth OF the canal is
tw~cnty.siX feet, vessels OF almost any
size may navigate the canal, and
very likely improvements will be
made rendering it suitable for the
largest steamers. A railway bridge,
under which the canal passes. has
determined the maximum height Of
masts allowed TO he sevcnty-tive feet
ANY maSts higher have TO b. lowered.
This is an Obvious disadvantage TO
sailing ships, many OF which have
the tops Of Their lower masts about
that height, but steamers are rapidly
s%upplanttng sailing vessels except for
very long voyages. The canal is now
one of the wonders Of the day ut a
cost Of S75, 000, 900, and it probably
will pay.

been devised to operate n g~atling gun

part of the gunner beyond setting the

1.-THE Heart of EngIand."

In the heart Of the City Of London
stands an old house Of worship, the
Church of St Swithin. It was re-
built urOn its former foundation by
Sir Christopher Wren, who was also
the architect OF st Paul's Cathedral.
The traveller who visits it must pass
through the crowd of huckSters OF
fruit and vegetables ald OF women
with baskets OF flowers, whicl SUI
round it, until the foundation is
reached, and there among the blush
stone slabs of viii h ii Is formed will
be found a large, oblong, gray stone.
This is London stone. 1t was erected
by the Romans tfty wears
before the birth OF Christ
to denote the central part Of their
possessions in Britain. From it, we
are told, all roads and distances were
measured, and it has been called by
many 1.-THE heart Of England " There
are fifty.one churches in Great Brit
ain which bear the name OF this eX-
cellent man, ST. Swithin, who lived
in the time Of King Egbert, but it is
the church in the wonderful old City
of London which has this historic
stone. -Goldthwaite's Magazine.

While much of the area of New
Mexico and Arizona is arid land on
which such hardy vegetation ms can ex-
list is low, sparse and dry, wherever
the soil is irrigated its enduring fertil-
ity is revealed. The water turned
over the land in all the lower valleys
carries the detritus of mountain sides
in solution, which makes n fertilizing
depasit akin to that left by the annual
foundations in the Valley of the Nile.
Such a soil, in many places composed
of disintegrated volcanic matter. is
naturally favorable to the cultivation
of the vine, and the visitor is not sur
prised at the fine quality of the Rio
Grande grapes, ~and-under proper
vintage processes-the wines. Such
fruits as apples, peaches, ~nectarines
and plums, raised on the higher slopes
and levels are unsurpassed anywhere
in beauty and flavor.

MEDICAL INSTINCT IN ANIMALS.


Their Diseases, and the Methods Adopted
by Them to Enct a Cure.
Animals get rid Of their parasites
by using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those
suffering from fever restrict their
diet, keep quiet, seek dark, airy
places. drink water, and sometimes
plunge into il. When a dog has lost
his appetite IL eats that species OF
grass known as dogs grass, which
acts as an emetic and a purgatiye.
Cats also eat grass Sheep and cows
when Ill seek out certain herbs. An
animal suffering from chronic rheu-
matism always keeps As far as pos
sible in the sun. The warrior ants
have regularly organized ambulances.
Latrellie cut the antennR OF an ant
and other ants came and covered the
wounded part with a transparent
fluid secreted in their mouths.
When an animal has a wounded
leg or arm hanging on, it completes
the amputation by means OF its
teeth. A dog being stung on the
muzzle by a viper was observed TO
plunge its head repeatedly for several
days into running water. This ami
NAL eventually recovered. A terrier
hurt its right eye. 1t remained un-
der a counter, avoiding light and
heat, although it habItually kept
close TO the fire. 1t adopted a gen.
eral treatment-rest and abstinence
from food. The local treatment con.
sisted in licking the upper surface OF
the paw, which it applied to the
wounded eye.
Animals suffering from trumatic
fever treat themselves by the con-
tinued application Of cold water,
which NJ. Delauncey considers TO lie
more certain than n of the other
methods. In view of these interest
ing facts, we are, he thinks, forced
to admit that hygie e and thera-
peutics as practiced by animals may,
in the interests Of physiology, be
studied with advantage.
Many physicians have been keen
observers Of animals, their diseases
and the methods adopted by them,
in their instinct, TO cure themselves,
and have availed themselves of the
knowledge so brought under their
observation in their practices. -Phila-
delphia Record.
