Humbug Among Animals.

One who has deeply studied the
habits of animals has discovered that
there are humbugs among them. In
military stables horses are known to
have pretended to be lame, in order to
avoid going to a military exercise. \
chimpanzee had been fed on cake when
sick: after his recovery he often feign-
ed coughing in order to procure
dainties. The cuckoo, as is we'll
known, lays its eggs in another birds
nest, and, to make the deception surer,
it takes away M of the other birds
eggs. Animals are conscious of their
deceit, as is shown by the fact that
they try TO act secretly and ~noiselessly:
they show a sense of guilt if detected,
they take precautions in advance to
avoid discovery: in some cases they
manifest regret and repentance. Thus
bees which steal hesitate often before
and after their exploits, as if they
feared punishment. \ naturalist de-
scribes how his monkey committed
theft. While he pretended to sleep,
the animal regarded him with hesita-
ton, and stopped every time his mas
ter moved or seemed on the point of
awakening.-Harper's Round Table

Freezing Air.

Most students of chemistry have
seen water frozen in the average tenn
perature of a room, but few have ever
seen the air solidified, so that it could
be- handled like ice or any other tangi-
ible article. But this has been done
by Prof. James Dewar, of London.
The operation is carried on through
several stages, and with various
agents. Gases are reduced to liquids
under great mechanical pressure.
then suddenly liberated. Certain
gases under pressure give a tempera-
ture ID degrees below zero, and the
evaporation Of these is one part of
the process. Pressure of almost 1000
pounds to the square inch has been
employed for the gases. The expert
ments are enormously expensive with
present appliances, and are of use
only as demonstrations of possibili-
ties. With further research may
come more simple and less costly
methods and materials. The future
of freezing has great promise, and its
value "a not be estimated.-New

Hot Waterin Disease.

Hot water is one of the most valu-
able of household remedies. Whether
in the bath, the water bottle, the rub
Der bag or in the form of a beverage,
it has healing powers that have never
been imagined. much less appreciated,
by the majority of persons. Hot baths
will cure many of the ills that flesh Is
heir to: hot foot baths and a hot water
bag at the back of the neck will re-
lieve almost any ordinary headache.
Hot water taken as a morning drink
will almost certainly cure dyspepsia
and s~luggishness of the liver. One
hygienic enthusiast declares that the
reason so little is said by physicians
about the use of hot water is that they
would be deprived ofso many patients.
for it will cure more eases of indiges-
ton than all of the pills that they can
prescribe. There seems to be but lit
tie literature on this subject, and one
can scarcely understand why, save for
the reason given above. AS for reg,
ular water-cure treatment, there ale
many publications on that subject,
but opinions differ so widely as to
their special methods that it is scarce
ly allowable to commend any particu'
lar one above another. Any book
seller or newsdealer will furnish you
with S list of the leading books or
water-cure, and you "a write and ge'
the contents of any one that please:
you. But most of them advocate
cold water instead of hot, and this i:
by no means what is wanted-Nev
