OLD WORLD AND NEW.
Asia Stands Stin While Europe and Amer ica Push Forward.

Asia Stands Stin While Europe and Amer ica Push Forward.
 | The common phrases, the old world and the new world, have gained an ap- plication which would hardly have been given them had men known in the past what they know now, that Ameri- ca is, geclogically considered, probably the oldest. of the continents and that man perhaps inhabited the western hemisphere as early as he did the east ern. In view of this fact, says Lippin- cott's Magazine, it might noS be amiss 10 suggest different application of these phrases by giving to Asia the title of the old world and to Europe and America that of the new world, leaving the remaining sections of the earth to fit into the division to which they logically belong.
 For Asia is the static realm of man. kind; Europe and America are the dynamic. Asia is at rest with the dead past; Europe and America are pushing forward into the living future. Asia, in it's political conditions, its religions, its learning and its literature. its sci cnce and industry, remains in close touch with the world of three thousand years ago; Europe and Ameriea in all these conditions have left the old world ages behind them and are building for themselves new world vitally distinct from that of ancient days.

Prlnna Dom. ana Clergyma n.

In the Life of Karl von Gerok," q man distinguished as a poet and as a minister of the Gospel. an incident is given which Illustrates not only his kindly spirit but his quick wit:
 He was one day walking in Stuttgart, carrying an umbrella. At the same time the prima donna of the Stuttgart opera troupe was tripping along the Sidewalk, without that protection against the weather. Suddenly rain began to fall, and Herr von Gerol1 offered the lady the shelter of his umbrella, Though entire strangers to each other, they had a pleasant chat. After awhile the reverend gentleman remarked;
 ''May venture to ask your name?"
 Ut is plain to see that you never go to the opera" answered the lady; every body knows that fam the leading singer at the Court theater. Now it is my turn to ask to whom am indebted for the protection of an umbrella"
 Your question clearly proves that you never go to church" was the reply, ''for all religious people know that l am the chief pastor of this town"

Stiu Rife fa Rural Districts of England
 and il Spanish Towns.
 In Somersetshir4 the peasants have no doubt as to tla play of malefcent Tn .n.es, says tl,4 Academy The pig [ .a- fllls III an1 dies was ''overlo0!Sed. \ nurrain ali ts farmers cattle, an l oT he zoe to the white witch, t'.:, s5, to the oil wit cl finder, to learn w'lo 'las ''overioo!lcd his things" and to ascertain the best antidote, because t3lcv 'lerc farricrs can't do no good. ;" i child pinas away with some mys- tcriJus. wasting sickness, which the Ti,pcrary peasants, as shown in the recent falsely called witch burning" case, believe to be the work of fairies in substituting a ''changeling," but which the Somerset woman refers to the action of witch who has cast a fatal glance upon the victim.
 Often she gives up not only hope, but all effort to save the child, the conse- quent neglect, of course, hastens the expected result and then 1t is: 'Oh! l know'd very well he wouldn't never get no better 'Tidn' no good for to strive vor to go agin 1t. This IS no fancy, no isolated case, but here in the last decade of the nineteenth century one of the conmonest of everyday facts.
 While in England the belief is mostly confined to rural districts in more back ward countries. as Spain and Italy, it f1ourishes in the large towns. In Ma pies the appearance of person having the ill-repute of iettatore is the signal for a general stampede, and MT. El- worthy amusingly relates the fright which he unwittingly gave second hand bookseller in Venice when asking about a copy of Valletto's "Cicaiata sul Fascino" On hearing the last words of the title ''the man actually turned and bolted into his inner room, leaving the customer in full possession of his entire stock" Pic Mono was be- lieved to have the jettatore and the faithful, when seeking his blessing, protectively pointed two fingers at him.

A A RABBIT PARLIAMENT.
The Prolific Aninaal Bafles Law and ss~> Science.

The Prolific Animal BalHes Law and ss~> Science.
 A rabbit parliament was held in Aus tralia. This was rot a convention of the animals, but great gathering of gentlemen who are engaged in their cxtermination.
 For four days, says the Philadelphia Record, representatives from every part of the colony held high debate over the animals performances. But nets of parliament seem vain in this matter and science itself bankrupt. The New South Wales governmental t one period had more than three thou sand men employed in killing rabbits. It has erected fifteen thousand miles of rabbit-proof fencing. It once offered twenty-five thousand pounds sterling for specific against rabbits, and though it received two thousan. schemes, the too prolific bunny has trirmphed over them all, and at t,le present moment the land department of New South Wales has one million acres of abandoned land, thrown up in consequence of the reckless march of the rabbit.
 The rabbit parliament seems to have failed to produce any clear and striii ing results. A score of ''infallible" specifies, ranging from feTrets to tank slaughter, had their advocates, but about these dolcful experience made the delegates shake their heads. If the rabbit could be turned into profit able export the question would be solved, but this seems ont of the ques- tion. The policy favored by the con- ference is that of 'grid-ironing' the col 6ny with rabbit-proof fences, transfer ring the duty of suppressing the rab- bit from the state to private land-own- CTS, and giving the landowner every possible help in carrying on the cam paign against lis furry and four-leggcd foe n

ABOUT MOSQUITOES.
The Little Pests Get Looked At by Q
 Scientific Eye.

The Little Pests Get Looked At by
 Scientific Eye.
 There are supposed to be about one hundred and fifty species Of mosquitoes in the world. Already twenty-one species have been identified as native to North America. The largest va- rieties occur in the tropics, where in- sect life of all sorts obtains its fullest and most pestiferous development. No- where, however, are these blood suckers moro abundant than in far northern attitudes, as in Arctic Alaska, where they appear in countless swarms during the brief boreal summer. There are at least three or four species Of Jersey mosquitoes, one succeeding another during the progress of the sea- sons. The biggest known mosquito is only found as fossil, happily. It lived in tertiary times, being contemporary with the nastodon and megatherium. To it has been given the appropriate name of ''culc1 damnatorum," mean ing ''gnat of the damned"
 There is no reason to doubt that mosquitoes carry diseases, says the Washington Star, and they are seriously suspected Of propagating yellow fever. It has been noticed that yellow fever comes with them and goes when they depart; also that it is worse in seasons when they are most plentiful and in To- calitics where they are most abundant. But respecting this complaint compar- atively little has been definitely as- certained The mosquito is likewise accused of propagating malaria by carrying the infection from one person to another. This charge is not proven, however.
 It has long been known that only the female mosquito bites. The male possesses no lance for inhicting a wound, such as his mate is provided with. The purpose of his existence is merely to perpetuate the species, and he never enters a house unless by &C., cident. The natural food of the female is the juices of plants, and it is not known why she seeks blood. The in- diligence seems to be a kind of dissipa- tion with her, like whisky and tobacco with human beings. Unlike the latter, she never gets full but once. Her sting consists of five extremely sharp needles, two of which ere barbed. They unite and form an awl, which, having in- flicted the puncture, serves as tube for sucking the blood of the victim. The suggestion that poisonous fluid is intro duced into the wound for the purpose of making the blood more liquid is mere theory.
 The female mosquito lays her eggs in a ooat-shaped mass on the surface of still water. From these the larvae, called ''wrigglers," are hatched. When the wriggler considers that he has wriggled long enough he comes to the surface and carefully cXtricates himself from his skin, which serves as raft for him to stand upon. This is the danger point of his life, for the least breath of wind may upset the raft and drown him. Happily escaping this fate, he flies away as soon as his wings are dry. If ''she," the insect loses no time in seeking for some animal or per son to torture. It has been contended that the larval mosquito has some use fitness, consuming miasmatic germs in the water; but thi $ is more than doubt ful

BLUE RAYS KILL GERMS.
It Is Shown That the Upper End of the Suns Spectrum Does the Strengthening.

It Is Shown That the Upper End of the
 Suns Spectrum Does the Strengthening.
 Although investigation has not been idle, experimenters have not been wholly agreed as to the exact property or field of the suns rays which is most efficient in action on bacteria and fungi, says Popular Science Monthly.
 The inquiry has been continued by Prof II. Marshall Ward, to whom the thought occurred in the course of his work that the most direct answer to the question: (Which rays are the most effective ones?" might be best attained by shining the solar spectrum directly upon the film of spores and making it record the effects by their subsequent behavior, according as the different groups of rays fell upon them-in other words, by obtaining photograph of the spectrum in living and dead bac- teria.
 The results showed conclusively that the rays that kill the bacteria are the blue and violet ones. An observation was made during the investigation which may go far to account for the uAodIAo4dSGOI,f S14S4 dSCOA LII tlIC 0CtC8- minations Of former experiments.
 The chief difficulty to be overcome was the great weakening of the in- tensity of the dispersed rays of the beam of liz ht decomposed to form the spectrum-a weakening caused by the distribution of the incidence of the rays over a larger area and by their ab- sorption and reflection in passing through the lenses and prisms.
 It was found, also, in working with the electric light, that the power of the blue and violet rays was further i'm paired-in other words, that they were stopped-by the material (glass) through which they had to pass.
 The effect of the glass was practical iy the same as that of mist or haze in the atmosphere, which so filters out the blue-violet rays that the light of a dull day was of little effect in the authors experiments.
 These difficulties were overcome by using quartz instead of glass, with which it was possible to obtain very pure spectrum suf cicntly rich in blue and violet rays to kill the spores in a few hours. The author fouEI 1t easy to obtain satisfactory results in the summer with solar rays, e2on with glass lenses, mirrors, e5c.. a8d cX- posures of five or six hoccs.

He VIII Succeed.

Like his brother of the north, the southern small boy is capable of much. 4 writer ;n the New York Home Jour nal says that upon her arrival in a southern town her cabman was small boy, aged about nine. The cab had two seats, and the boy told her that if during her stay she wanted a carriage, she could get him any time by i,lquir- ing for Jacl1son's express-price six bits an hour.
 Are you Jackson?" asked.
 ''Yes, ma'am," said the expressman, politely, and with greaS dignity. Then, lasping into boyishpess, he added: You see. this used to be our carriage. But papa died. and mamma isn't strong and there lsn't much money-and-"
 Something certainly, filled the boys throat, for his voice broke, and, hastily becoming cabman again, he frightened the reins and indulged in d flourish of fine whip. But after little he turned about and added:. ..,.

Russian Jews Refuse to Travel on VesSs
 Equipped with But One.
 4 steamship ticket agent on the East eiue whose business is chiefly with Pol .sI, and Russian Hebrews who are about to return to their homes tells ot peculiarity of his customers, says the New York Tribune. No one Of them wants to travel on vessel having only one smokestack. Somehow these peo- pie have an idea that a ship is not safe, handsome, comfortable and speedy u1- less she has two or three stacks. Their passage costs them only twenty dollars, and they are not solicitous about baths or the decorations of their quarters, but on the point of single funnel they are as firm as rock. A great many passenger steamships have only one stack. Some new ones in which the steerage accommodations are especial ly roomy and well ventilated have nc more. and the returning Poles insist they will not travel on them. The ticket agents feel no compunction about assuring their customers that the ship on which they are going to sail has three ''rochers" (smokerS), as the Hebrews call them, and even point to big picture of her on the wall, which serves as the likeness of any vessel which may be talked Of,
 When the man and his family arrive at the pier on the day of sailing there is likely to be trouble when he dis covers that his ship has only one mis- erable smolzestack. Sometimes the people refuse point-blank to go on board, and say they will wait for a steamer with three smokers" An ef- fective subterfuge has been invented for such cases. Solemn assurance is given that the ship has three or four smol1estacks. but that all but one short one were taken down so that the ship could pass under the Brooklyn bridge. As soon as she got out to sea the ad- ditional stacks would be put in place and she would speed proudly on her way. The ignorant East sider doesn't know that vessels passing to sea from the Hudson river never get within two miles of the bridge, and takes his fami- ly on board. What he says and does when he learns that he has been de- ceived does not bother the ships off. cers particularly.
