India ink is made in China, and
India has nothing whatever to do with
the Jet black, smooth sticks of the
finest dark ink that is made. 1t is
manufactured only in the Anhul
Province of China, and is sent from
there to all parts of the world 1t is
made of sesamum, or COLA oil, which
is expressed from the poisonous seeds
Of n tree that is extensively grown III
the valley of the YangTse. 1t is also
grown i'll Japan.
To this oil, varnish and pork fat are
added, and the lampblack made by
the combustion of these materials is
classed according to the excellence Of
the ingredients and the time taken in
the process of manufacture. Glue is
added to the Iampblack, and the re
$nltant paste is beaten smooth with
steel hammers on large wooden anvils.
Gold leaf and certain quantity of
musk, or of Baroos camphor, is adj
ded to give metallic lustre to the
ink. New York Tribune.

The chi characteristics 81 Shet-
land hosiery Is the extreme fineness
of the wool used. This wool u oh
tanned from the native Shetland sheep,
an animal If decidedly meagre APP
pearance and which a southern flock
master would he inclined to have
none of. 4" Nevertheless, this humble
beast, picking up scanty living ON
the bleak hillsides where ITS larger
relatives would starve, produces wool
of remarkable fineuess, aud when II Is
mentioned that the natural colors vary
from black and white to an endless va
rieiv of grays, browns, fawns and
chestnuts of many shades locally
called ''moorit''l, it will he seen tina
the Shetland people have ready to
their hand raw material of the most
suitable kind for their purpose.
In connection with the tineness of
the wool. the method of taking it from
the sheep is worthy of note. 1t is not
clipped or shorn in the usual way;
hut at the proper season is literally
plucked from the backs of the animals,
it being averred that shearing tends to
deteriorate the quality of every sue
ceeding fleece, and, of course, to keep
the yield of wool as fine rs possible is
a great desideratm. The plucking
referred to usually appears to strang-
ers to he n cruel eXpedient; but i'll
reality the sheep seems TO suffer no
more from it than from ordinary
shearing. Chambers journal.

JEALOUS LIZARDS.
They Showed Their Anger When

They Showed Their Anger When
Their Owner Fondied Others.
NJ. j. Delboeuf, a French scientist,
declares that lizards are actuated by
feelings of love and may even become
victims of jealousy. In an article
which he wrote for French scientific
review, he tells about two lizards
which he kept III his house for several
years, both of which evinced unmistak-
able evidences of being troubled by the
same green-eyed monster which occa-
sionally plays havoc with the affairs of
human beings.
My first two lizards had been cap
tured-one in the Spanish Pyrenees and
the other at Tarn in France, wherefore
i called them the Spanish and the
French lizards, but afterwards gave
them the names Pedro and Pierre" says
NJ. Delboeuf.
THE two lizards lived on the best of
terms for several months. Pedro was
fond of following Pierre around. and
when Pierre one day was missing the
other was sad and disconsolate.
1t was three weekes before the lost
lizard was found, and then he was dis
covered upder the stair carpet, where
he had probably been all the time. In
the meantime another lizard was Sc
erred The first two were males, while
tie last conner was a female. Her ad-
vent brought on war between the two
former friends, which became so fierce
that they had to be placed in separate
cages and released one at a time.
Pedro was jealous of my preference
and caresses.'' continued the scientist.
when he was on my sleeve L could
keep him for hours motionless by pass
ing my hand lightly along his body;
but if took Pierre or another lizard up
his rage broke out at once, and he
would jump upon him with his mouth
menacingly wide open.
eff. however, I chose the large lizard,
he gradually drew back. as if regretful-
~, without leaving me. Now, what
good do caresses do lizard? Dogs and
cats. they tell US, are delighted with
them. But these animals, when they
were young, were caressed by their
mothers. who licked. bit and amused
them. and it is not strange that they
should find in cajolery d kind of rec
election of motherly tenderness. They
play together, embrace one another
and press against one another. The
man who plays with them is like COM
panion of a little more respecta BILE

Progress in seismoIogy.

SeiSmology is now so far developed
that seismologists are able not only to
study earthquakes which no one feels,
but have begun to Investigate their re-
lations, of which there are many, with
most promising results as far as geology
is concerned There are thousands of
earthquakes or earth tremors every
wear, and half of them come from deep
water The ocean is really the home of
earthquakes. Twenty years ago their
study was commenced in Japan. with
the result that the seismology of that
country has revoiutionized the seismol-
ogy of the whole world. AS a conse-
quence the methods of building in
Japan have entirely altered, SO that
houses erected on new principles stand,
while their neighbors' are shattered.
