A DROP OF WATER.
The Wonders That May Be Seen Therein
Through a Microscope.


Through a Microscope.
To the ordinary mortal a drop of wa
ter is what the primrose was to Peter
Bell, a drop of water and nothing more,
but to the student Of nature, armed
with high power microscope, it imme-
dlately 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 collection
Of rotifers, which were amassed in a
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 on mischief. On the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col
ony had lost several Of it's 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 the
rotifers are known to he was effected.
A few minutes wait suficed Soon it
was noticed that the infusorian was
slowly and continuously working his
way around the foot of a rotifer, which
was resting on the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
as a mouse in 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 it's
back and bite it in several places with
Gghtninglike 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
a half hour, when it was noticed that
the rotifer was dying from exhaustion
fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, as
he dou btless had done the others that
were missing
Mr.. Grace next examined small
body of water, consisting Of four drops,
in which there were several infusoria
and rotifers. The former proved the
enemies Of the latter, just as in the sin
gle drop previously examined. It was
also noticed that the infusorian, having
devoured a victim, would almost imme-
diately divide into two or four new ami
mails, each of which would quickly
swim away in search of prey, just as its
parent had done before. est. Louis Re-

Domestic Architecture In Chicago.

The inhabitants Of Chicago are the
least curious and observing people in
the world. According to their own news
papers, they permitted one f. H. Holmes
to construct in their city q house so ex-
traordinary, SO full Of hidden doors and
secret passages and acid proof watts that
it would have attracted thousands of
curious visitors had it been built any
where else But the guileless Chicago
ans suspect nothing. Neither the man
who issued the building permit nor the
men who did the building saw anything
unusual about the house. What is the
matter? Is all Chicago blind, or are
acid proof watts and secret passages part
and parcel of the ordinary Chicago
dwelling? Perhaps there is an interest
ing chapter to be written about domestic
architecture in Chicago. - Milwaukee

BlSMARCK'S BIG HEAD.
Measurements Showing That the Space For
Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.

Brains In 1t Is Extraordinary.
Bismarck's head, says a correspond
ent Of L'Anthropologie, has been care
fully measured according to the rules of
anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph
of Berlin, who made the statue Of Bis
marck set up at Cologne. The measure
ments prove that Bismarck has 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
hmeters, or trihe over $3.50 inches
Bismarck's Uranium has capacity of
1866 cubic centimeters, and his brain
should weigh 1, 1857 grains.
These figures become especially sig
nificant 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 2O6 millimeters, or six millimeters
less than Bismarck's The mean meas
urements Of 30 members of the Natural
Science society at Carlsruhe were 1876
millimeters from front to back by 155
millimeters from temple to temple. The
biggest of these heads measured 300 by
1852 millimeters. The cubic measure
ment of 245 German heads was nearly
500 cubic centimeters under Bismarck S,
while the estimated weight of Bis
marck's brain is 80 per cent above that
of the average adult European brain. In
fact, Bismarck is a man not only Of
blood and iron, but as we'll of brains.

Work Easily Prosecuted IN the Tumult Of
a Thunderstorm.
speaking of cinches, - said the re-
tired burglar, s'the easiest, softest,
smoothest snap I ever struck was in a
house IN small town in Rhode Island.
There was thunderstorm coming ND
as l went along toward this house, and
just as got there it began to sprinkle.
By the time I'd got inside it was COM
ing down pretty hard, and I was glad
to be under shelter, for I hadn It brought
any umbrella with me- I hadn't had
any supper either, and when I got into
the dining room thought I'd get some
thing to eat. The sideboard was locked
and the key carried up stairs, but a lit
tie Jimmy opened the door as easy as
knife would open a pie. I set out a lit
tie snack on the table and sat down and
ate it comfortably, with the rain pour
ing down outside. If there's anything I
like, it's to hear storm a-raging outside
when you're settled down all snug and
comfortable within.
but here was something I hadn't
counted on. The thunder was roaring
and plunging like a dozen earthquakes
busting down through the sky, and it
kept the house in tremble all the time.
I knew nobody could sleep in that thun-
der. They'd be sure to be all awake,
but here was, and hated to lose
night, and after I'd waited a little and
the storm didn't show any signs of let
ting up I thought I'd go ahead an see
anyhow. The very first room I looked
into up stairs settled the whole bust

mother pushed them into the closet, and
then crowded in herself and pulled the
door shut tight. 1t was all very simple.
Husband away, no help; two children

thunder, come into their mothers room,
all scared; mother puts children in
closet and gets in herself, as lots of folks
do III thunderstorms. And then walk
over and turn the key in the lock, and
there you are. No danger of their COM

but just as well to be sure about it, and
then just quietly go through the house.

The POitOu Jack.

From the day he is born to the day of
his death no brush or comb is ever al
lowed to be used on him, and as, from
the unnatural condition in which he is
kept, he is prevented in a great measure
from shedding his coat the functions of
the skin become suspended, and the ami
NAL gradually assumes year after year
an accumulation Of coats, all matted
together with stable filth, till at length
they almost trail on the ground. When
he has assumed this extraordinary and
bearlike appearance, he is pointed, to
with no little pride by his owner and is
termed bourailloux, Or sometimes guen-
illoux. Such is ignorance and prejudice.

THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG.
Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and William Cullen Bryant.

Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and William Cullen Bryant.
Oliver Wendell Holmes received the
degree Of doctor Of medicine in 1886,
being then ~ years old, and in that
year he also published his first volume
of poems. Nothing of DR.. Holmes has
been more popular than "The Last
Leaf,' contained in this early collec-
ton, and none has more richly deserved
to please by its rhythmic beauty and by
its exquisite blending Of humor and
pathos SO alphabetically INTERVIEWED
that we feel the lonely sadness Of the
old man even while we are smiling at
the quaintness so feelingly portrayed.
DR.. Holmes was like Bryant, who
composed ''Thanatopsis' and the
"Lines to a WATERFOWL long before he
was 20, in that he early attained full
development as a poet. Although each
OF them wrote many verses in later life,
nothing of theirs excelled these poems
of their youth. In their maturity they
did not lose power, but neither did they
deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopsis
O14 C1lO OuO Liz AGSU LSdl OIL
the other are as strong and characteris-
tic as anything either poet was ever to
write throughout long life. What Bry-
ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his
first volume of poems, each was to the
end Of his career.
TO neither of them was literature a
livelihood. Bryant was first a lawyer
and then a journalist. Holmes was
first a practicing physician and then a
teacher of medicine. He won three
prizes for dissertations upon medical
themes, and these essays were published
together in 1888. In 1889 he was ap-
pointed professor of anatomy and phys
iology at Dartmouth, and the next year
he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson.
Shortly afterward he resigned the posi-.
ton at Dartmo uth and resumed practice
in Boston. He worked hard in his pro-
fession and contributed freely to it's lit
erature, and in 1947 he went back to
Harvard, having been appointed pro-
fessor of anatomy and physiology, a
position which he was to hold with
great distinction for 35 years. ST.

Ir. Watkins little thought that men could be

gents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
