A DROP OF WATER.
Tho Wonders That May Be Seen Theron
Through MICROSCOPIC.

The Wonders That May he Seen Theron
Through a Microscope.
To the ordinary mortal drop of wa
ter is what tho primrose was to Peter
Bell, n drop of water and nothing more,
but to the student Of nature, armed
with high power microscope, it imme-
diately becomes world teeming with
living creatures, the most minute repre-
sentatives of animal life These thoughts
were suggested by reading Professor
Grace's description of battle he once
witnessed while examining q collection
Of rotifers, which We're amassed in
single drop of fresh water. Among 9TH
ers, Mr.. Grace noticed a fine specimen
of infusOrian, which was swimming
back and forth among the rotifers, as if
intent OH mischief. On the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col
Ony had lost several of its members, and
that the infusorian's form had rounded
out until he resembled miniature ST.
Louis bartender. Mr.. Grace now re-
solved to watch the infusorian' S move
ments and ascertain if possible the
modus operandi whereby the capture
OF such expert swimmers as tho
A few minutes wait sufficed Soon it
was noticed that the infusorian was
slowly and continuously working his
way around the foot of rotifer, which
was resting on the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
as mouse i'll an oats bin, and when he
had finished it was noticed that the
rotifer's foot was firmly cemented to the
glass. The infusorian, seeming to know
his victim was secure, began to goad
the tethered creature and torment it in
all the ways that devilish ingenuity
could suggest. He would jump upon its
back and bite it in several places with
hghtninglille rapidity and then spring
off and seize a leg and pull it almost
from its socket. Mr.. Grace says that he
watched this unequal combat for nearly
half hour, when it was noticed that
the rotifer was dying from exhaustion
Noting the death of his victim, the in
fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, as
ho doubtless had done the others that
were missing.
Mr.. Grace next examined small
body of water, consisting of four drops,
i'll which there were several infusoria
and rotifers. The former proved the
enemies of the latter, just as in the sin
gle drop previously examined. 1t was
also noticed that the infusorian, having
devoured Il victim, would almost imme-
diately divide into two or four new ami
mails, each of which would quickly
swim away i'll search of prey, just rs its
parent had done before. st. Louis Re

1rides In the Atmosphere.

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those Of the sea and pro-
duced twice daily by lunar attraction,
have been traced by M. Bouquet de Ia
Grye in the barometric records of sta
lions removed from powerful local dis
turbances. The recorded observations of
Brest. st. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence of
regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect is slight,
but measurable, the greatest atmos-
pheric tide at Brest being shown by Il
movement of quarter of an inch in
a water barometer, which is equivalent
to about one-tiftieth of an inch in the
mercury barometer. The tide seems to
bear about the same ratio to the weight
Of the atmosphere that the sea tide bears
to the depth of the ocean

THE PASSING OF THE ORGAN.

Twenty years ago the political organ
was very much in vogue. The organ at
its best was but a fungus growth, snd
when the politicians learned that it was
an Improbable appendsge they with
drew the hand of -succor, and the mon
strosity soon passed out of material
existence, to make an unssvory page in
politicsl and journalistic history. o..
chsionally some feeble tenant OF an
hour, debased by slavery and waiting to
be corrupted by power, attempts to play
the role OF political organ; but, like the
stencil of the sewer, 1t nauseates the
stomach, AID becomes an abomination
In the estimation of all honorable men,
regardless CT whether it's senseless
mouthings are uttered for or against
them. To be political organ means to
be political hsrlot. 1t is gratifying to
The TIMES to know that journalism is
now on higher plane. and is prac-
tically free from this ill-smelling fun
gus.

Measurements Showing That the Space For
Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.
Bismarck's head, says II correspond
cnt of 'Anthropologie, has been care
fully measured according to the rules of
anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph
of Berlin, who made tho statue OF Bis
marck set up at Cologne The measure
ments prove that Bismarck has u head
of extraordinarily large size. Measured
horizontally from the frontal bone to
the occiput the head is 212 millimeters,
or more than S.351s inches. The dis
lance from temple to temple is ITO mil
limeters, or Il trifie over 6.69 inches.
Bismarck Uranium has capacity Of
1865 cubic centimeters, and his brain
should weigh /, S61 grams
These figures become especially sig
nlficant when compared with the meas
urements of other heads. Of 2, 500 heads
measured at Baden Baden only one ex-
ceeded 200 millimeters horizontally
from front to back, and that one meas
ured 206 millimeters, or six milli1neters
less than Bismarck s. The mean meas
uremcnts of 30 members of the Natural
Science society at Carlsruhe were 1876
millimeters from front to back by 1915
millimeters from temple to temple. The
biggest of these heads measured 200 by
lG2' millimeters. The cubic measure
ment of 245 German heads was nearly
900 cubic ccntimeters under Bismarck s,
while the estimated weight of Bis
marck s brain is 30 per cent above that
of the average adult European brain In
fact, Bismarck is u man not only of
blood and iron, but rs we'll of brains.

aloud somo of the poems, after explain

Whittier begged to borrow the book,
which was almost the first poetry he
had ever read. 1t was this volume of
Burns which set Whittier to making
verses himself, serving both rs the in
spiration and the model of his earlier
poetic efforts. The Scottish poet, with
his homely pictures of life rs bare and
as hardy as that of New England then,
first revealed to the American poet what
poetry really was and how it might be
made out Of the actual facts of his own
life
That book of Burns poems had an
even stronger influence on Whittier than
