How q Toad Was Spliced.

The astonishing possibility of build
ing up living animals from parts of
several animals has been demonstrated
by Dr. c. Born, a German Psychologist.
The experiments were made with tad
poles and other larvae of anphibions.
Each of these was cut in two and diff
ferent parts were placed together In
various ways, when some of them
united, the hinder more readily than
the fore parts. Two hinder parts, each
with or without a heart, united in "a
hours, the monstrosity living and grow
ing for a week or more. A built-up
larva having the fore part of n toad and
the hinder part of frog, or vice versa,
was easily produced. Larvae of diff
fcrent genera were joined by the bel
lies, moreover, with such success that

The Glass That Has Furnished Many Emil
nent Men.
The agricultural laborers of Scot
land are, as a class. healthy and tenn
perate: they receive small wages. The
Scottish peasantry have played an i'm
portant part in the development of
their nation. They are thrifty, re-
ligious, and we'll educated-thanlks to
the facilities for education provided
for them through the liberality of the
church of Scotland. 1t is from this
class that many of Scotia's eminent
sons have arisen. They are, however,
very poor, and when their children are
young, they are unable to provide for
sickness or death. They work twelve
hours a day, receive fourteen shillings
or fifteen shillings a week. have a free
house, with a small garden. AS the
children grow up they are sent into
service to relieve the burden that rests
upon the parents From their we'll
stocked gardens. the Scottish agricul-
tural laborers obtain potatoes, green
vegetables, and fruit.
Many of them get their milk either
free or at a nominal cost from the
farm. The family breakfast consists
of porridge and milk; dinner of broth,
meat and potatoes and tea; at six p. m.
they have porridge and milk, followed
by tea, with bread, butter and jam.
The wife of one of the cottars, who
furnished the facts through DR.. Wylie.
Stewarton, Ayrshire, for me, states
that her husband receives fifteen shil-
lings a week and the allowances al
ready alluded to, and that she is able
to keep the household Ii. e., her hus-
band, self and five children) on twelve
shillings to thirteen shillings week
the remainder being required for
clothing, boots, ETC. The cottar, prac-
tically, can make no provision what
ever for sickness and death, unless in
a few cases only, where he pays a pen.
nv or two-pence week into a burial
society. 1t is when his children grow
up and enter service that he may be
able to save little money.-Fortnight'

BRICK DUST MORTAR.

Said to he An Excellent Substitute for
Hydraulic Cement.
The use of brick dust mortar as a
substitute for hydraulic cement, where
the latter cannot be obtained, Is now
recommended, the Southern Architect
says, on the best engineering author
ity, experiments made with mixtures
of brick dust and quicklime showing
that blocks of onc-half inch in thick
ness. after immersion in water for four
months, bore without crushing, crum-
bling, or splitting, a pressure of 1900
pounds per square inch. It is consid-
cred, too, that the addition of even as
small proportion as one-tenth AS
much brick dust as sand to ordinary
1nortars is preventive of the disintegra-
ton SO often characterizing mortars
used in the masonry of public works.
The use of brick dust mixed with lime
and sand is said to be generally and
successfully practiced in the Spanish
dominions, and is stated to be in all re-
spects superior to the best Rosendal
hydraulic cement in the construction
of culverts, drains, tanks, or cisterns,
and even roofs, whether for setting fiat
tiles or for making the usual tropical
fat roof The proportions used there
in the manufacture are, approximately,
one of brick dust, one of lime and two
of sand, mixed together dry and tenn
pered with water in the usual way.

that experienced on seeing railway
