IHe has dealt a deadly blow &c
i tHm. A very exhaustive inquiry
reg ming the nature and authorizations
OF this toothsome substance has Just
been completed by DR.. Mac Fadyen
and Mr.. Collyer, F. l. G. These gentle
men tell US that ice cream has only
26.5 pei cent Of solids, the first being
water; that the solids consist Of fats,
4 per cent; sugar, u per cent; starch,
8 per cent; albuminoids, per cent;
and mineral matter, u per cent. This
all sounds well enough, and would
lead the unwary reader to think that
ice cream was all right, but the de-
nouemsnt comes in the results Of MI
croscopical search. The microscope
shows the presence, In London ice
cream at least, OF bedbugs, bugs legs,
fieas, straw, hair, coal dust, wooden
and linen fiber, tobacco, epithelial
scales and muscular tissue. Even the
microscopical examination, however,
is delectable compared with the results
Of meteorological studies. These re-

600 per cubic centimeter. The char
acter Of the micro-organisms Is ex-
tremely mixed. There are the bac-
terra coli commune, besides spirillas
and putrefactive microbes Of various
kinds. We find no account OF chem
ical analysis, which would perhaps
add the final touch to the pathological
picture OF the ice cream of the shops
In this country it is known that Ice
creams chemically contain a poison
known as tyrotoxicon. But In London
1t seems, what with the bugs and the
microbes and the filth generally. there
Is no particular need Of further re-

An Experimenting Engineer Loses Five OF
His Finger Nails.
A warning has been voiced by one OF
the leading English medical Journals
In regard TO the too frequent use OF The
ROentgen ray apparatus, says the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
1t is interesting, no doubt, to obtain
a series Of photographs Of ones own
skeleton, but II this is to be at the OK
penSe Of such trifies as ones hair and
ones finger nails, it seems hardly
worth the cost One electrical engineer,
who has often demonstrated the Deau-
" Of his finger bones by placing one OF
his hands within the radius Of the
searching rays, has lost all the nails
from the fingers of that hand, while
Mr.. Sidney Rowland, who is one Of the
leading experimenters in this direction,
mentions several cases of similar char
acter in the structural changes that &C.
cur in the hair, and so forth, Of those
Who have been frequently shadow
sraphed by this method. Thus, in the
case Of patients whose heads have been
subjected to the influence Of the rays,
the hair has either turned white or
has fallen out entirely. 1t is suggested
that these results are due to the cleo
trical potency Of what are called the
ultraviolet rays of the spectrum,
though their precise acton Is at pres
ent by no means thoroughly under
stood
One curious suggestion has already
been made 1t is a well known sup
erStitiOn. and one which has existed
for generatioss, that people who sleep
In the direct rays Of the moon have
their reason more or less seriously AZ

An Englfshman Wins q Prise for
Writing Twelve Good Reasons.
An English publication recently Of
fered a prize for twelve best reasons
why a man should remain bachelor.
The prize was awarded to a Mr.. sam
uel Bachelor, whose contribution is
given below:
1. II a man is naturally selfish, for
GOODNESS sake let him always look
after No. 1.
2. II his mother is the best cook in
the world, let him stop with her
8. II, whenever he opens his mouth,
he Is always putting his foot In II, he
had better never propose to a girl
4. II he a thorough miser, II wer%
better for him to remain s'ngular-ly
miserable
5. III he is generally a woman-hater,
let him become a hermit In the Isle o.
Man.
g. IL he detests children and calls
them pests. he is evidently unciyilized
and unworthy to frequent the haunts
of a civilized community.
Z. IL physically and cOnstitutiOnally
untitled for matrimony, it is nothing
less than criminal for him to marry.
& IL a man is blessed with a GoOd
sister 90 whom he is very unkind ana
even cruel. he is certainly unsuitable
FOR a PARTNER to any one else's sister.
o. III a man is earning less s2lary
tnan the woman whom he plight care
10 marry is earning. let him rot marry
her.
10. II man would be likely to pl e
fer after marriage the company Of club
associates and the pleasures Of the
billiard table to the sweet companion
shin of a wife and the halloSeh hap
ness of home. let him refrain from
thinking of marrying.
IL. II a man will be unable to ma in
tain a wife as comfortably as she las
been used to. and unless he has some
thing saved toward future unforeseen
| eventualitIes. he had better remain a
bachelor. for when poverty comes IN
AZ the door love flies out at the WIN
i dow.
-. II he would be unwilling 10
frankly and candidly tell before mar
riage everything of his past life
