A Word for the Earthworm.

The earGhworm is IN animal which has
not received that attention from biologists
which 1t deserves, in spite of the fact that
its habits and structure formed the last of
that magnificent series Of volumes with
which Darwin enriched scientific literature.
And it has not only been neglected by nat
uralists, but has incurred the bitter enmity
OF gardeners and farmers. 1t is true that
the gardener has some reason for his dis
like when he sees his carefully rolled walks
and smooth lawns rendered unslghtly by
the heaps Of earth with which the worm
diligently covers them.
But the farmer has no business to COM
plain, for not only do earthworms form a
large part Of the food of many birds, which
would, perhaps, in their absence direct
their attention more closely to his crops
and fruit trees, but they are of positive adj
vantage in loosening the soil, and so max
ing passages for the rain to trickle down to
the lowest roots.
More than hundred years ago Gilbert
White devoted one of his letters to the sub
ject Of earthworms, and defended them
from the accusation of uselessness and in
juriousness in the economy of nature, re-
marking further, and so to certain ex-
tent anticipating Darwin, that they are
often responsible for the formation of new
soils.-F. L. Beddard, NJ. A., in Chambers

Musical Car whistles.

To the average New Yorker who finds
himself in Brooklyn in the course of the
open car season the most remarkable
feature of the occasion is the solos per-
formed by the conductors when they start
and stop the aforesaid cars.
They are not satisfied with the 'toot" to
stop and the "toot-toot" TO 90 ahead that
their New York brethren use, but run in
bewildering combinations Of "tootle-tootle-
ti-too" and "whoopety- whoop" that makes
a strangers brain reel. Some have double
whistle and some boast whistles with three
pipes. These gentlemen penetrate the air
with bird notes and gurgling trllls, and
when dozen cars of as many lines get
punched together at the bridge or Fulton
ferry the resemblance to rehearsal Of a
brass band on Saturday night is startling

The torpedo" or ''cramp fish" has two
complete electric batteries on either side of
its head, constructed after the most ap-
proved scientific principles. Each of them
consists Of about 40 cells in the shape Of
six sided tubes placed side by side. The
walls of these cells are lined with nerve
tissue and each one is filled with clear,
trembling jelly. Precisely how many volts
this duplex galvanic apparatus is capable
of administering has never been deter
mined, but frequent experience has shown
the power to be sufficient to knock down
and temporarily paralyze man.
Natives in Central America are said to
make practice of driving wild horses into
water whore cramp fish are in order that
the latter may stun the frightened quad
rupeds and make them easy to capture. So
that a shock shall be administered, the OBJ
ject must be brought into contact at two
points with the torpedo, thus completing
the electric circuit.
Scientific men regard this as one of the
most interesting of natural phenomena.
Two other kinds Of animals possess gal
vanic batteries-a catfish and an eel. The
two latter have the storage cells situated
in their tails. In all three cases the cleo
tricity is merely transformed nervous en-
ergy.-lnterview in Washington Star.

Domestic Felicity.

The wife of drum major, a colossus, is
dwarf. She Is despot. He has the do
cility Of child. When they quarrel she
orders him to put her on the table and let
her slap his face. He lifts her In his arms,
puts her on the table, bends his head, re-

these deductions are correct land scientists

figures can possibly be from the very nature

of the autumn styles, although it is hard
to realize that u cool season will ever ar

Any one who has been in Egypt will
have had an object lesson on the propsgs-
tion OF disease by hiss. The many victims
Of ophthalmia to be seen there usually have
their open sores covered by swarms Of flies,
which makes the presence and obtrusive-
ness everywhere In that country OF this in
sect pest doubly nbhorrent, from the possi-
bilities Of contagion by contact with them.
The prevalence Of ophthalmia in Egypt is
attributed specially to these swarms of
flies, which convey infection from affected
subjects to those unaffected.
In our own country there is no specific
malady which may be thus mainly attrib-
utable to the germ carrying action Of flies,
but it is quite possible that many cases,
where the sources OF infection cannot be
traced, may have had their origin in the
presence Of flies unwittingly admitted from
tainted places,-Brooklyn Eagle.

optic nerve. In these days of unceaslng
work the eyes are not given the rest to
which they are entitled. Clerks, lawyers
and professional men generally are con-
tinuously poring over books and papers,
and the result is apparent not only in the
actual injury to the eye itself, but in the
retroactive effect upon the nerve and brain.
Even the amusements and recreations in
which they indulge after the days work

Singer, of sewing machine fame, which
cost $4,000. In Mortlake cemetery u monu-

tion. There is simple remedy for sleep
lessness, which by its upfailing success
proves that the trouble largely comes from
the overstrain Of the eyes. If the sufferer
will take small piece of toweling or other
soft clothand fold in it two small bits Of
ice, and then lie down and adjust the cloth
so that the ice will exactly cover the closed
eyes, he will shortly find himself dropping
off into refreshing sleep This, of course,
is only temporary relief. but the insom-
