How the Blood Moves in the Veins

" nSs
The principal cause of the movement
of the blood in the veins is what the
psychologists refer to as .sthe pressure
from behind" BY this is meant the
capillary circulation or movement of
the blood caused by the constant pump
ing action of the heart, which forces
the current into and through the veins
that is, to prevent their becoming so
filled with blood that their resistance
would counterbalance the pressure
from the arteries pulsation of
the heart by emptying the right ven
tricle allows part of the blood accu-
mulated in the veins to be removed.
In this way the backward resistance
in the veins is kept inferior to the pres
sure Of the arterial circulation. The
venous circulation is also greatly aid
ed by the action of the voluntary mus
cles. 1t is well-known fact that when
muscle contracts it thickens and be-
comes diminished in length. The ef-
feet Of this lateral swelling is to COM
press the veins lying between the mus
cles, thus forcing the blood forward.
Another popularity is the half-moon
shaped valves with which the veins
are we'll provided. These "semilunar"
valves open duly toward the heart.

Penguins.

The penguins are strictly marine
birds living in the water or upon rocks
that jut out above them. The wings
Of penguins have no feathers. but are
covered with scaly skin. OF course
they are useless as organs of flight, but
give effective aid in progressing
through the water, and when the birds
are on land are often available as fore
limbs. There are many species, which
inhabit chiefly high southern ATTITUDES.
Cunningham, in his book on the
Straits of Magellan, thus refers to these
birds as he saw them in that region:
ION climbing to the summit of one of
the high banks, we beheld company
of penguins, which, after standing erect
and staring at us in stupid manner
for few moments, shuf1ed off; their
little wings hanging limp at their sides
and their dark gray and white color

bits at a very rapid rate, using their
wings as fore legs, till they gain their
burrows, fairly ensconced in which

Of question as to the relative strength
of the natural and artificial product.
Experiments have been made which
show that the latter has about 80 per
cent of the former, but the manner Of
working is quite different. Those who
have worked with the artificial fiber
are surprised at the exquisite colors
produced. They take dye much more
readily than the natural silk. Another
popularity is the extremely rich and
high luster Of the fabric OF course.
the cloth made from artificial fiber will
be less durable than the genuine thread
of the silkworm, but it is promised in
much less expensive grades, and when
once the factories and mills are fully

Buttons and Combs Made Of MIX.

Buttons and Combs Made of Milk.
For long time buttons and other ar
ticles for which bone is generally used
have been made from concealed blood,
purchased at the slaughter-houses, and
treated with some substance that hard
ems 1t to the sufficient consistency. The
same articles can be made from milk
by process invented by an English.
man. The milk used is the skim milk.
The process of turning this liquid into
buttons, pool balls, combs, backs of
brushes and similar articles consists
of mixing it with substance the ingre-
dents of which are secret of the in
ventor, and COMPRISING it. At the
end OF three days the substance is as
solid as celluloid, and is ready to be
cut and shaped in any way the manu-
facturer wishes. At present factory
in Holland is engaged in fashioning
the hardened milk into various arti-
cles, buttons being the chief. The but
tons made in this peculiar way differ
very little in appearance from ordinary
bone buttons. They are a creamy
white in appearance, but can be col
ored black or red or any other color
by simply mixing the coloring mat
ter with the milk before the hardening
process begins. They are said to pos
sess advantages over the bone and
celluloid article in being less brittle
and less liable to chip. For combs the
milk substance has been found to be
especially well adapted, as it is smooth
and delicate to the touch, and derives
from it's creamy origin a glossy sur
face. In the same way it is good sub
stitute for ivory in billiard and pool
balls.

LIoNEss LOOSE IN "A CIRCUS
q Scene Of wild Confusion At Public

a Scene of Wild Confusion at q Public
Performance In Birmingham.
An exciting incident occurred at
Bingley hall, Birming cham, after the
close Of a public performance which is
being given there The entertainment
is called the Worlds Fair" and con-
s1sts OF a collection of shows, includ-
Ing circus and menagerie. At the
conclusion Of the entertainment ON
Monday, shortly after IL p. M. the lion
trainer, Orlando Macomo, thought it
necessary to remove lioness lately
added to the menagerie from the small
den IN which she was placed on arrival
into one in which she would have the
companionship of other animals of her
own breed already trained, says the
London Times. While the change was
being effected the electric light was
suddenly cut off and the men who were
holding up the cage to the level Of the
van containing the trained lions be-
came panic-stricken and dropped 1t.
Unfortunately the door had just been
opened to allow the lioness to pass
through and as the den fell to the
ground she escaped and made her way
into the center of the building. A
scene of wild confusion ensued, the
attendants fearing every moment that
the loness would spring upon them.
Happily, she made across the hall to
the sides on which the circus horses
and mules were tethered. There she
turned her attention apparently to
ugh-coated horse, which had that
morning been through the first stages
OF training for the circus. No one saw
the lloness attack her prey, but it was
atterWard found that she had sprung
upon the horses neck, digging her
claws into his shoulder. The animal
shrieked with pain and terror was so
general among the others tethered near
by that two mules broke loose and went
careerlng round the hall. When the
lights were again turned on the es-
capped lioness was still clinging to the
neck OF the horse, whose flesh was part
ly eaten away. The lion trainer at
once went forward with loaded gun.

discharged full in the face of the saw

the lioness and the horse falling dead,
upon the ground together. In the
darkness and confusion one of the at
PENDANTS had his hand mangled by a
lion, having incautiously grasped the,
bar of the den. One of the elephants in
his fright broke down his house and
rushed trumpeting into the middle OF
the arena, but was secured before any
mischief had been done. The extin-.
gushing of the electric light appears
to have been due to misunderstanding

that etching might be done on stone in

pared, and was about to carry his idea
into execution when a circumstance
happened that placed etching on stone
IN the background, and brought into

writing from the stone, when the idea
all at once struck me to try what would
be the effect of such writing with my
prepared ink if I were to bite in the
stone with aquafortis; and whether,
perhaps, it might not be possible to ap-
ply printing ink to it in the same way
as to wood engravings, and to take
impressions from it. M. Senefelder
surrounded the stone with border of
wax, and applied aquafortis, by which
the writing was raised in few min
utes. Printing ink was next applied
with common printers ball, impress
sions were taken of, and the practical
bility of the important art OF lith-

means prepared copies of dispatches,
