SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Some kinds of jellyfish are said to
have over 10000 mouths. Every pore
is a mouth, tiircQsh which nourish-
ment is absorbed from the surround
ing water.
The last census shows that while in
20 years the increase of men in all in
dustries has been $50 per cent, the in.
crease of women at work has been 1900
per cent.
The insect known as the water
boatman has a regular pair of oars,
his legs being used as such. He swims
on his back, as in that position there is
less resistance to his progress.
An investigation has been made as
to the extent of one of three large
troughs of coal recently found in New
foundland, resulting in an estimate
that it contains 100000 tons of su-
perior quality. The deposits are well
located for moving the product when
mined, in being near the St. Lawrence
river and within a few miles of the open
ocean.
Prof. Virchow refuses to accept the
missing link (pithecanthropus erectus)
reconstructed from fossil bones discov-
cred by DR.. Dubois in Java. The skull,
he says, is that of Il large gibbon; the
thigh bone may have belonged to a
man, but just as likely to an ape; the
teeth look like human teeth, but are
not identical with them, and there is
nothing to show that all the bones be-
longed to one body.
Hot waves are caused by low areas
appearing in the northwest and mov-
ing east and south, thus bringing about
warm winds from the south, and dis
appearing as the development of high
areas in the northwest. One of the ac-
companying phenomena of hot waves
was hot winds coming from the south
west, their cause being somewhat OBJ
scure. DIR. Frankenfeld states that as
a rule they move in narrow belts, rang
ing from 100 feet to half mile in
width No good cause can be assigned
for this, save, probably, local topog-
raphy.
Preliminary statistics of the for
eign trade of the United States for No
vember show u total value of exports
amounting to $s7,249,746, an increase of
nearly S7,3o0,OOO as compared with the
corresponding month Of 1894. The i'm
ports were vIlued at 500, ,759, an in
crease of nearly $12,s00,O0o as COM
pared with November, 1894. The duty
free goods showed an excess over the
dutiable goods for the month, whereas
in November of 1894 the excess was on
the other side' The exports showed an
excess of over s1S,O00,00O for the
month.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are
permitted to make this extract: 81 have
no hesitation in recommending DR.. Kings
New Discovery, as the results were al
most marvellous in the case of my wife.
While was pastor of the Baptist Church
at Rives Janction she was brought down
with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive them.

DELIGHTS OF TRAVEL.
How Great Commotion a Fire Maketh
in Little Town.


My most amusing experimentation
a retrospective point of view-occurred
upon my first visit to Lorain, O., some
ten years ago. l arrived at night, and
the proprietor of the only hotel in the
place put me to bed with a man who
inhaled with a basso-profundo snore,
and cxhaled as near as 1 could judge,
through tin whistle. did not sleep
well, and in the Silly night, when the
landlord put his head in the door and
remarked:' "Fire!"s in a tone of voice
which made the furniture jump up and
down, l nearly awoke. A few minutes
later, the landlord repeated the remark
with so much emphasis that my bed
fellow arose with alacrity, and, poising
momentarily with one ample but sui
try foot upon my thoughtful coun-
tenance, he stepped lightly into the
street, taking part of the windowsash
with him.
AS the room began filling with smoke
it suddenly occurred to me that the
fire department consisted for the most
part of four buckets of water and a
chorus of hoarse shouts. l therefore
decided to retire from the room. The
other guests seemed to fee! the same
way about it, and as 1 reached the hall
l noticed dignified, elderly lady from
Sandnsky going swiftly down the stairs
seated upon sample trunk of young
man from Toledo. Outside all was
commotion. Strong, brave men were
ringing the town bell, while noble
hearted women were wringing their
hands. A young lady from Berea.
clothed in a Gainsborough hat and an
air of deep concern, was galloping mad
ly up and down the street with pillow
under her arm. An investigation dis
closed that large amount of excite
ment was being wasted over a small
amount of fire. The fire was caused by
cigar sparks, which flew into hair
mat.ress-a defective ''f1ew." so to
speak. The fire was extingushcd by
throwing the mattress out of the win
dow. 1t fell on the town marshal and
knocked him senseless, after which the
town once more lay down to sweet
dreams of future greatness. = Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

Remarkable Career of an Infant Left In
Founding Hospital.
One night in 1901 little girl about
one year old was deposited in the draw
er of the founding hospital at Brest.
She was dressed with much finery, and
note attached to her skirts told that
her name was Solange, and that she
would be reclaimed by her father.
When she was 12 years old she was
sent out into the streets to sell flowers,
and her beauty and her modesty at
tracted many peoples good will; but
she grew weaker and weaker, and at
last died, or, at least, it was thought so.
According to French custom she was
buried in an open basket, and, as it was
winter and the soil was frozen, she was
laid into the grave covered only with
thin layer of sand. During the night
she awoke, and, pushing the sand
away, crept out from the grave.
Not exactly understanding what had
taken place, she was not so very much
frightened; but in crossing 1.-The glade
between the cemetery and the fortifi-
CdulOllS, Sic was SuuuCHly SloPpCu ny
the cry: "Qui vive?" and, as she did
not answer, the sentinel fired, and she
fell to the ground.
Brought into the guard house, her
wound was found to be very slight, and
she soon recovered. But her singular
history, and also her great beauty had
made so deep an impression on young
lieutenant Of the garrison-Kramer-
that he determined to be her protect
or, and sent her to one of the most fash
ionable educational establishments in
Paris.
During the next few years Kramer
was much tossed about by the war;
but when, in 1918, he returned to Paris,
he found Solange aifull-grown woman,
not only beautiful, but accomplished
and spirited, with no more trace of in
tellectual weakness or nervous fits. He

parison of his writing with such por-

We have but one remark to make
on the above, and that is to say that
the reference to the SITTER is entire
ly gratuitous and without foundation.
The SITTER is not in the habit of
writing SO that it is necessary to read
between the lines to find out what it
means. We suppose that this i'm
preston grew out of sentence where
in we stated that "when men" of
such and such character do so and SO,
"as often happens, deliberately at
tempt" etc. The most that could be
inferred from this would be that the
writer of this letter possessed one or
more of these qualities. The SITTER
has accused no one.

THE COLLEGE INFIRMARY.

Or Colored Home and Hospital.
In thanking the liberal managers
of the San Antonio Light for repro
ducing my article from the Cleveland
Daily Advocate, | desire to say by
way of explanation that the object of
the deacOness work in San Antonio is
to secure for the aged and orphans,
as well as training school for col
ored females that desire to take a
special course in the art of nursing
and caring for the sick, an infirmary
after the order of the German Mother
Homes and Deaconess Homes, in the
cities of Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston,
Buffalo, Cincinnati, Portland and nu-
merOus others beyond mention, or
ganiZed during the past eleven years
in the United States under the aus
pices of the M. Z. church. The whites
of Georgia have started the ball roll
ing in the south by donating lands
and n beautiful building, known as
the Old Folks Home, for helpless eX-
slaves and their orphans. We believe
the liberal people of Texas, and espe-
cially of San Antonio, to be among
the best friends of the deserving
members of the race and feel safe in
saying that we will not be wholly
disappointed in trusting to their lib
crafty in this enterprise.
Our friends of the north will do
nate to the erection of buildings if we
can only secure the grounds (Which
we are sure we cam. We desire to
secure grounds sufficient to engage
the convalescent and others in the
cultivation of fruits and vegetables,
thus making the institution as far as
possible self-supporting. We are sure
that such an institution will meet
long felt want, and while caring for
the sick and afflicted, the aged and or
phans, will keep up a training school
for females, thus lifting them from
helpless dependence to educated self
help. Therefore we beseech you to
lend a helping hand to a worthy en-
terprise. G. J. STARNES,
