CONsTANTINOPLE, May 3l.-Ad-
vices received here from Moosh
state that residence occupied by
the French, British and Russian
ENJOYS had been forcibiy entered
by the Turkish gems d'armes, who
attempted to arrest a servant OF
the ENJOYS. They used abusive
language and were expelled with
difficulty. This, coupled with the
news from Jeddah that the British
consul and vice consul, the Russian
acting consul and the French con-
sular secretary, were attacked and
shot at outside Of the town, caused
considerable excitement in diplo-
matte circles. The British vice.
consul is already cabled as killed
and the British consul slightly
wounded, the other consular
officers seriously wounded. The
shooting is attributed to Bedouins.
Three British warships have been
ordered to Jeddah with. instruc-
tions to protect the lives Of foreign

there will be no difference OF opin-

means to be employed: that is
with reference to the restoration of
a vigorous, thoroughly American

The Sense of Color.

According to Professor Hugo Mag
nus of Breslau, the visual capacity
of sense of color varies not only
with the individual, but with the
civilization of q people. At first the
human retina is insensible to eolors,
and only a gray, moro or less clear,
is visible. Later on red and yellow
arc seen, these corresponding to
light of the greatest wave length.
Thus neither the ancient hymns Of
the Vedas, nor the Zend-Avesta, nor
the Old Testament speak of the blue
sky. Homer Gas MI. Gladstone re-
marks) and Ezekiel do not appear to
have been sensible of all the tints of
the rainbow. Zenophanos describes
them as purple, red and greenish
yellow. Aristotle adds the blue. In
Hebrew and Assyrian the cslors yell
low and green and in Arabic blue
and black are often COMPOUNDED.

Neal BOWS Trip on the Erie Canal.

he was 81 years old. Il met on this
trip" says General Dow, "a Swiss
gentleman of rank and fortune, but
q few years older than myself, and
Travelled with him for some time.
We became fast friends, and a or
respondence between us was kept up
for years. After awhile, however,
this dropped, and I heard nothing
of him until 1857, some 80 years aft
or, when I was in Europe, and I tried
to hunt him up. had no difficulty
in finding the family, but my friend
had been dead for two or three
years. Judge of my surprise when
I learned that the cause Of his death
was attributed to the fact that he
had joined the teetotalers, and alb
stinence from liquor had killed him.
The funny part of this was that his
cousin, whotold me about his death,
did not know anything as to my
views and gave me that information
as o solid fact" But the general
stands it pretty well, eh?-Lewiston

he mado a wager with one Sienna
and to win it went to an auction, re-
manned all day and in the evening
gave a list of all the articles sold,
the prices paid for them and the
names of the purchasers. The ac-

case tested by the auctioneer's clerk,
who followed thereeapitulation with
his book and found hat in no case

cHLoRoFoRMlNG A TURTLE.
An Old Snapper Put to Sleep Tor a Short

An UIQ snapper Cut "
Time.
I decided to ~chloroform q large
snapperand endeavor to learn some
thing of the action of the lungs and
whether it could resist death in this
form. AT the first application of the
saturated sponge to the snapper's
nose he darted and seized it in his
strong mandiblcs and jerked it into
his shell. Then l had him, and in
due time, by constant attention and
with an outrageous expenditure OF
chloroform, l completely subdued
the old fighting mossback. AT last
the ludicrous sight of a thoroughly
anRsthetized swapping turtle was
presented. It was an amusing spec
tacle-this savage turtle, lying limp
and apparently lifeless. l opened
its sharp, hooked jaws and freely
handled his powerful but now nerve
less legs. This fellow, an@sthe-
tized, with his fabby legs and lolling
head, looked much like the old dead
mossbacks which are found about
the margins of ponds each spring.
Finally, after the application of
the ohloroform was discontinued for
q length of time, his s~erviceable but
i'll looking fippers began to vibrate
spasmodically, very soon one of the
closed eyes was exposed and then
the other, much after the manner of
the opossum in emerging from n
of it's voluntary lethargio spells. In
time it perfectly recovered and again
gave evidence of its innate vicious
ness by savagely biting at every
thing as before. It is probable that
a swapping turtle could be ultimate
ly killed by constant application and
tho expenditure of large quantities
of chloroform, but it is not readily
done, as l convinced myself. The
reason for this is evident. As soon
as the turtle comes under the infu-
ence of the drug it lapses into a
state not inaptly comparable to the
condition in which it passes the cold
months. In hibernation it probably
breathes much less frequently, and
also when under the influence of
chloroform ceases to breathe to a
largo extent. This the turtles and
other reptiles a do, rs they are
cold blooded and do not require the
constant supply Of fresh air that is
indispensable to birds and othor
warm blooded creatures.
We may say that the voluntary
act of stopping the respiration when
below the surface of the water cor
responds to the involuntary cessa-
ton which Systematically results
, from anssthesia. Therefore,
whether confined at the bottom Of q
: pool or subjected to the continued
, effects of an anmsthetic, it is rea
r sonable to suppose that a water tur
5 tie, either the snapper or leather
back, could resist death for a Ions
: time. If the snapper aud soft shell
spend the colder months in the mu(
and water, and this is stated as {
fact by many writer's, then the crea
lures must surely cease breathing
during their Information or elst
adopt an entirely different form Q:
respiration from the one made ust
/, of when on land. Interesting ex
perimonts might be made to ascer
tain whether the swapping turtl
takes its winter sleep in the mud
) dry earth or wator. American

The verbs "fcel," in the sense of
to smell, and "lame," in the sense

peculiar. We may add "pipe stop.
