Maine Pays n Bounty on Seals.

rIOm tnc Ntw 1Ork
Maine paid bounties on 1662 seals and On
::05 bears in 1895. In 1894 only 1856 seals
and $50 bears We're killed. The increase of
seal killing is due to a 50-cent increase Of
the bounty, making it 81. The bears have
been thinned out by extensive killing. Why
there should be bounty on seals is plain
to those who know that in single year
seal consumes 1850 pounds of fish, which
would make 8.O66300 pounds saved by the
killing of &C., seals in 1895. Most Of the
fish eaten are cOarse-grained, such as are
used in batting lobster pots-sculpins, floun-
ders, tomcods, etc.-but not few valua bic
fish, like herring, salmon and mackerel, are
killed by these animals. Much difficulty is
experienced by seal hunters in securing all
of the animals killed. Many badly wound
ed ones escape. and probably more than
1000 seals were killed during 1895.
No one knows exactly why bounties are
paid on black bears. They are harmless
animals. according to competent observers.

NudEed the Wrong Foot.

From the Philadelphia Record
1t was an amusing case of the bitel hit
that took place on a Walnut street car
last evening. A number of passengers were
standing, among them being two Young
men, who faced a very pretty girl COM
fortably seated at their elbows One of
the young men apparently soon determined
upon campaign of conquest As he could
not attract her attention in any other man.
ner he evidently resolved to do 1t by gen.
tly touching her toe with his foot. To his
delight the touch Of his shoe was returned
with light tap. and for two blocks he
kept up this novel form Of Irritation. Final
ly the girl rose to get of, and the young
man who had not previously figured In
the matter. who proved to be the pretty
damsefs escort. turned to follow her from
the car. See here you BANKED IDIOT he
remarked to the would-be masher before
he stepped from his place in the aisle, at
has been my foot you have been tapping
not my lady friends. If you will come out
on the street I'll try and return the compli-
ment by tapping your face" The masher
was too badly confused by the litter Of
laughter that passed through the car to re-
spond. but he recovered his self-composure
sufficiently to leave the car a safe distance
away from the corner at which his chal-
lenger got of.

Varieties of Honey.

T. L. Simmonds. in the Pharmaceutical Jour1al
Honey is honey always, but honey is not
invariably the same. One may buy honey
and have valuable food, and again one
may buy honey and eat il at the risk of
cne lie. There is a honey that is truly
honey and yet can be used only as a meoi-
cine, and among the agreeable and whole
some kinds there are some that are more
delicious than others
The difference in wholesomeness Is ex-
plained by the fact that the honey after
being collected by the bees retains some of
the physical qualities OF the flowers from
which it is gathered. Thus il has been
found that the honey of the Balearic
Islands. and also OF the neighborhood of
Narbonne, is of superior quality because
IL partakes OF the properties of the rose
mary that grows in both those places The
honey OF Provence owes its exquisite flavor
to the lavender. that of Valence and Cuba
to the orange blossoms, while the honey
OF southern India is indebted for it's ex-
cellence TO the strobilanthes. But the
properties or the flowers which the honey
retains are not always desirable There
are some that produce deleterious effects
on the system. Olivier de Serre states that
the flowers of the elm. broom, euphorbium.
arbutus and box yield bad honey
IL Is also related that two Swiss priests
were poisoned by eating honey which had
beer collected from a dangerous flower.
The heTnlock of the Levant communicates
lts properties to the honey of Asia Minor.
which, although very sweet, is often dam
gerous in its effects. Honey from certain
districts of Turkey produces headache and
vomiting. Medicinal honey comes from
brazil, the honey from that country rarely
being used except as medicine.
The bee is not the only honey-producine
agent. In subterranean cavities I'm Ethi-
opia honey is found which is made with
out wax by an insect resembling a great
mosquito. The natives call il "tazma."

The great project Of bridging over Palk' s

many places being not more than six feet
deep. The islands, reefs and channels in

and mapped, and the cost of the work ex-
tending over sixty-one miles, including the

"x' RAYS AND CONSUMPTION.
The Condition of the Lungs ClearI,
Shown by the FluOroscoDe,

The Condition of the Lungs Clearly
Shown by the microscope.
From the Boston Transcript. June 10.
More interest is taken in the cathode ray
exhibit In Mechanics building, where the
meeting of the Massachusetts, Medical So
clety Is being held. than in all the other ex-
hibits put together, and Russell Hall was
crowded all the morning with medical men
anxious to see the revelations which were
being made there by the new light. Dr. e.
A. Goldman has charge of the exhibit, and
It is one Of the largest and most complete
ever shown anywhere.
The chief object of interest is the big
Horoscope, by which the whole upper part
OF mans body, penetrated by the cathode
rays. Is shown. This Is done by throwing
the shadow from the tube on large can
vas screen forming one side Of q box In
which the observer sits. By means of this
apparatus the interior of the mans chest
could be plainly seen, with the outline of
the different organs against the light from
the tube. The man who was shown this
morning was coEsumptive, having had
cough for about two years, and the cathode
ray showed his condition very distinctly
The right lung, which was healthy was
penetrated by the light so that the ribs on
the front and back could be seen plainly
but on the left side the lung was tubercu-
iouS, ana the ray did not penetrate, SO
that only dark mass could be seen. This
exhibition caused the greatest interest, not
only among those Of the physicians who
make q specially Of diseases of the lungs
but among nearly all who attended the
meeting. There was line waiting all the
morning which extended from the appa-
ratus Lcross the room and out to the door
of the main hall, and, as it took less than
half minute to make the examination, 1t
is probable that several hundred physicians
must have seen 1t up to noon.
Besides this large Horoscope, there were
several Instruments Of the ordinary kind on
which examinations were made by means
Of eye shields. One of these instruments
was more powerful than the one used on
the large Horoscope. although. of course
only small part Of the body could be seen
by 1t. Not only could the ribs and verte-
brae be seen plainly when one Of the eye
shields was held against mans chest. but
when pair of forceps were held against
his back, on the outside of his coat, they
could be distir guished without difficulty.
Several Of the men there had fractures In
some OF their bones, and these were plainly
shown on one of the machines, giving an
excellent demonstration Of the value of
the cathode ray in medical work.
In another part Of the room photographs
made by the X-ray process were thrown
upon canvas by stereopticon, showing
some excellent cases of broken bones and
dislocated joints, and also cases where OBJ
jects were embedded in the flesh, one or
two of which it would probably have been
impossible to find without the aid Of the
cathode ray.

words evil and devil. which have a close re-
lation to each other in more ways than one
Many of our clergymen have adopted for
these words the pronunciation Of evil and
devil. and l am sorry you say that the
devil has SO got the upper hand that the
evil is on the increase. until what was in
the beginning only a clerical affectation
now bids fair, like i-ther and ni-ther to
assume the proportions of popular fash

ing the soundest of theological orthodoxy.
Now, the words in question have been pro-
nounced ever since the English lansuag ge
came into being, simply evil and devil

amount OF mispronunciation can make the
one any worse or add any terrors to the

TAOusands OF Them Have Gone From
San Francisco in the Last Five Years
From the New York Sun
The remarkable decrease of the Chinese
population OF San Francisco during the La
four or five years has been a subject of
much recent comment among the officials
OF that city. 1t Ia said that the present in
habitants OF the Chinese quarter number
only about two-thirds as many as lived
there In 1891, and that thousands have
either died or gone to other places since
the census Of 1890. This tremendous fall
ing of was hardly noticed until about six
months ago. when a man who had been
making tour Of the oriental quarter, d.
rected attention to the fact that stores
and living quarters which always before
nad been In demand, were going begging
Tor tenants. This statement seems rather
remarkable in view of the fact that the
Chlnese quarter in San Francisco is only
three blocks long and two blocks wide and
Iohg mad population of about 10000
However. as the buildings extend almost
as far under ground as they do above
ground, 1t can be understood how so few
OF them as are there in the quarter can ac-
commodate SO many. In many places the
tenants are packed in like sardines, one
large room being partitioned off into rnany
