PERlLs OF BULL FIGHTING.
rt Is an Easy Matter For Torcros 60 Meet n
Violent Death.

Ono is accustomed 20 hear bull fight
Ing denounced as both cruel and cow
ardly-cruel because of the suffering IL
infiicts upon animals, cowardly because
the risk run by the bullfghter is infin-
itesimal. The first charge is absolutely
true, so far at least as concerns tho rn-
fortunate horses. The second is equally
false, as the tragic death of Espartero
should servo to teach the amateur crit
les who for the most part have never
seen the spectacle they denounco in such
unqualified terms.
If tho Spaniards would only revive
the original form of the sport they bor-
rowed from the Moors-that is to say,
the riding, not of wretched cab horses,
only iit for the knacker and mounted
by professional picadores, but Of valua.
BILE horses, with 'owners up" who
would, of course exercise their skill in
trying to save their mounts--there
would be little TO be said against bull
fighting on the score of cruelty.
As TO the current sneers at the cow
ardice of the bullfghters, they are tho
outcome of sheer ignorance. One has
but to witness the entry into the ring
of a fresh caught Andalusian bull twice
the size and weight of lion, fully as
fierce and almost as active to under
stand that every man in tho ring carries
his life in his hand, and that momen-
tary loss of nerve, of Judgment or of
footing will probably mean instant
death.
That terrible fighting "spear"-a
Spaniard never talks of bulls "horn"
any more than an Englishman of fox's
"tail"-would make short work of any
man who had not devoted the flower Of
his age to the study of the most peril
Gus of all forms of sport Those who
have seen such daring and accomplished
toreros ms Lagartijo or Frascuelo take
the cloak from the hand of subordi-
nate and play with the infuriated beast
as n child might with kitten, know
ing all the time that the slightest mis-
take would be fatal, cannot, if they
speak the truth, refuse to admit that tho
combination of skill and courage is un-
paralleled. The perils of the plaza re-
deem the sport from the charge of cow
ardice though not, as it is at present
conducted, from that of cruelty. LON

Hot Water For Cows.

''Hot water for COWS" is the maxim
Of the French dairy farmers in tho do
partment Of Finistere. They claim to
have proved by experiments that when
COWS drink hot water they yield one
third more milk than when they are re-
freshed with cold water only Caution
must, of course, be observed in adopting
the new system. Avaricious dairymen
must beware of scalding the throats Of
their cows in their haste to avail them
selves Of this discovery, which is vouoh
ed for by our consul at Brest. The pro-
portions, we are told, are half pail Of
boiling water and half pail Of cold

AS TO THE FLOOD, DOCTORS DIFFER.
Some Think 1t Local to the Euphrates, 9th
ers the Melting of the Ice Age.


Suess, in 'Das Antlitz der Erde, >"
and Neumayer, in "Erdesgeschichte,
have attempted 70 show that the Mo.
sale account of the deluge was copied
with little from an original Assyrian
version, and that it was local flood
which took place in the plains of the
Tigris and Euphrates, not in the valley
Of the Jordan In recent number Of
Natur Wochenschrift, however, Herr
Richard Hennig tries to prove that u
general food took place in the ice age
during the quaternary period.
Many facts, such as evidences of gla
citation and lowering of temperature,
found in the rocks and in sagas and
myths, as well as the vast extension of
a great lake in the far west of America,
whose level was 1000 feet above that
of the Salt lake, go to prove that floods
accompanied the retreat of the glaciers
Countries in warmer latitudes-for ex-
ample, the Sahara-were converted into
seas and swamps or were locally flood
ed. Isolated lands kept clear of the in
undation-for instance, Egypt-but we
may remind Herr Hennig that. accord
ing to Herodotus, Egypt was formerly
in great part marsh.
1t is curious to note, in connection
with the glacial theory, that an old
Aryan tradition tells of the "Aryans'
having been driven from their original
seat by the country becoming colder and
the winter longer. The German flood
saga tells that "the floods of the north
came far from their home and were
turned into ice, and the ice stood still,
and the mist which hung over it froze. "
The sun warmed the drops, however,
and Ymir of Hrimthursen, the frost

as he did in 1878, when his famous SER
