The cattle sheep and swine in Denmark
have to undergo rigid veterinary exami-
nation both before and after they are
slaughtered Before meat can be removed
from the slaughter house it must lie Off
cially stamped NJ first or second class
food Some unscrupulous butchers tried
to efface this stamp by cutting it out or
chemically removing 1t and replacing
first" for second class, but they were
summary dealt with, and fine Of E110
imposed, which has effeotually put a stop
to their tricks.
1t is not only in Denmark that they
mark meat, although it is done there for
quality, but in Italy, the United States,
the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
Perhaps in time our government will su.
pcrintend the slaughter house and mark
the meat as first or second class, a. the
Danes do, The Danes are very careful of
their food supplies and proportionally sue
cessful in their gains. -Fortnightly Re.

An electrician has expressed his belief
that telephoninE to the moon is within the
bounds Of possibility He argues that the
ether which binds tho planets together
with an iron hand is, whilo firm and solid,
infinitely elastic, an ideal medium for the
transmission of vibrations. The vibrations
which constitute light come to us from tho
sun in eight minutes, travelling at tho rate
of 1872, 900 miles u second. 1t is possible to
produce waves moving at this enormous
velocity by electrical means. A pulsation
of electricity causes an ether wave, and In
the telephone the movement of infinitely
small waves produces speech The waves
produced by ether disturbance spread out
into space, radiating farther and farther
in gigantic circles until swallowed up In
it's immensely, like ripples on the ocean.
If an iron mass be in the vicinity Of
these pulsations, it will give out buzz or
hum, rs shown In the passage of a current
through some systems of street lighting
apparatus for the transformation of high
to low pressure. Tho moon undoubtedly
contains its proportionate amount Of iron,
and therefore tho theory is advanced that
If we can send electrical pulsations to the
moon wo can make things hum on its
rugged surface.
Such an experiment would involve "the
use of gigantic coil, mounted vertically,
with its axis in line with the moon" The
protector of the scheme adds :" If lives ex
list upon the lunar surface, If the murmur
from the earth be heard, they will listen
with sadness. They will feel that utter
despair that brooks no consolation and
stretches out its arms in vain. 1t Is to
be hoped they would not take on in that
way; it would be poor thanks to tho man
who built the gigantic coil. New York

The InQuisitiye and Industrious Mosquitoes
From n Scientific Standpoint

There are supposed to be about $50 spc
sizes Of mosquitoes in the world. Already
Ell species have been identified as native TO
North America. The largest varieties
occur III the tropics, where iuscct life OF
all sorts obtains its fullest and most pes
tiferouS development. Nowhere, however,
are these bloodSuckors moro abundant
than In far northcrn ATTITUDES, rs III are,
tic Alaska, where they appear In count
less SwarmS during the brief boreal sum-
mer. There are at least three or four spe-
cicS of Jersey mosquitoes, one succeeding
another during the progress of the season.
The biggest known mosquito Is only found
as a fossil, happily, Ii lived in tertiary
times, being contemporary with the mas
todon and megatherium. To II has been
given the appropriate name of "Culex
damnntorum, meaning "gnat OF the
damned "
There is no reason to doubt that mos
quitoeS carry diseases, and they arc seri-
ously suspected of propagating yellow
foyer. 1t has been noticed that yellow
fever comes with them and goes when they
depart; also that 1t Is worst i'll seasons
when they are most plentiful and in 10,
calities where they are most abundant.
But respecting this complaint compare
lively little has been definitely aScertained.
The mosquito is likewise accused Of
propagating malaria by carrying tho in
lection from ono person to another, This
charge is not proved, however.
1t has long been known that only the
female mosquito bites. The male possesses
no lance for inticting wound such rs his
mate is provided with. Tho purpose Of
his existence is merely to perpctuate the
species, and he never enters house un-
less by accident The natural food of the
female Is the juices of plants, and 1t Is not
known why she seeks blood. Tho indul-
gence seems to bo n kind of dissipation with
her, like whisky and tobacco with human
beings, Unlike the latter, she never gots
full but once. Her sting consists of five
extremely sharp needles, two of which arc
barbed They unite and form an awl,
which, having inflicted tho puncture,
serves rs tube for sucking tho blood of
the victim. The suggestion that poison
Gus fluid Is introduced into the wound for
the purpose Of making tho blood moro
liquid is nero theory.
The female mosquito lay. her eggs In u
boat shaped mass OH tho surface of still
water. From these tho larvR, called
"wrigglers are Matched. When the wrig
gler considers that he haS-wriggled long
enough, he comes to the surface and care
fully cxtricatcs 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 tho
raft and drown him. Happily escaping
this fate, he flies away rs soon as his wings
are dry. If n she" the insect loses no
time in seeking for some animal or person
to torture. 1t has been contended that the
larval mosquito has some usefulness, con

Flag Day.

1t was juno IA, 1777, that tho conti-
mental congress passed a resolution stating
Just what the American flag was to be,
and now patriotic society of ladies, the
Colonial Danes of Pennsylvania, wants to
have tho day observed always all over the
country as Flag day 1t seems very pleas
ant and suitable suggestion, and every
child probably will say yes to it. If the
plan is carried through, on that daytime
IA of every year-the stars and stripes will
fly over every public building in the land,
and from every house must fly one, too,
even if it is very small one. All the boys
and girls will wear little ones in their coats

will be good to see New York Times.

at the following:
Pick on one of your friends and tell him

his arms with his wrists tied together. Ho
will probably put his hands together and
then try.
Finding it a very simple feat, he will
accept your challenge. Tie his wrists firm
~ together and set him to work. He Will
soon put his leg through his arms, but
when he tries to got it back again he will
find it next to impossible. -New York

The feature of this disturbance
will be a very considerable increase
