HOW ANIMALS DIE.



It is difficult to avoid the conclusion
that wild animals, enfeebled by weak
ness or physical decay. perish because
OF the absence of aid in sickness. But
II the bills of mortality from causes
other than the violence of predatory
species could be made out for the ami
NAL world, there would probably be
good ground to modify the conclusion
that this lingering death is in store
for the majority.
The subject is complicated by kind
OF mystery which has been long recog
nized in common experience. and is
now attracting some of the attention
1t deserves from travellers and natur-
allsts. the disappearance, namely, of
the animal dead, other than those
killed by accident or violence. In
tropical countries rapid decay dis
solves the tissues of flesh, and bone
devouring beasts like the hyena may
destroy the largest bones. But there
Is one region In which we should eX-
pect to find the bodies Of such ami
mails as have died II natural death
along the whole length OF the frozen
rim OF the old world from the Plethora
10 Boring sea, a region where even the
fruits forced into being by the arctic
summer are preserved fresh beneath
the snow until the ensuing spring, and
the remains of prehistoric beasts, the
mammoth and Siberian rhlnooeros,
have only undergone partial decay in
the frozen soil. Here we should also
expect to discover the bodies of ami
mails which had died at the end OF the
summer "cold-stored" tn the snow
broke up In the arctic spring,
IN THE ARCTICs.
Nordjenskjeld in his Voyage Of the
Vega, more than once recurs to this
strange absence of the animal dead.
Near the hunting grounds" he
says, there are often to be seen the
remains OF reindeer, seals. foxes or
birds that have died from gunshot
wounds. but no 'self-dead' polar bear,
seal. walrus, white whale, fox, LEM
ming or other vetebrate. The polar
bear and the reindeer are found there
in hundreds. the seal, walrus and
white whale in thousands. and birds in
millions, These birds must die
natural death in untold numbers.
What becomes of their bodies?"
This disappearance of the dead, so
remarkable in itself must, we think
be left out Of account In the endeayor
10 ascertain the causes of disease
These must be sought by argument
from the known causes Of death among
domestic animals, and the numerous. il
scattered, records OF mortality among
wild ones. notes of which have often
been carefully preserved, and may be
found scattered over the history of
the last ten centuries.
NORMAL CAUSES.
Among normal. non-epldmeic causes
Of death many must Ice common both
to Wild and 10 domesticated species.
"Distemper" among dogs and cats
probably eNtneds also To foxes. wolves
and the Wild felidae Its course is often
exactly like that OF wasting low
fever, and animals die from IL in eN-
actly the same way as a human patient
suffering from malaria or bilious fever.
for the symptoms are not always the
SIN. Chill kills dogs, often by iaun.

Seeing Stars.


If a man falls so as to strike his
head violently on the Ice or on the
pavement. or If he gets a blow over his
eye, he is said to see stars" The
cause of this curious phenomena is
found in II popularity of the optic
nerve. The function of that nerve is
to convey to the brain the impression of
light. 1t recognizes nothing in the
world but light. 1t is susceptible to no
other impression. or. II acted upon by
any other agent, 1t communicates to the
brain the Intelligence of the presence
of that agent by sending along It's fibre
flashes OF light only. Irlitate this nerve
with probe or other instrument. and
1t conveys no sensation of pain, but
simply that of luminous sparks, The
pain Of the blow on the eye or the fall
on the head is realized through the
nerves of general sensation, but, insus-
ceptlble to pain or other feeling, the
optic nerve sends to the brain Its report
of the shock by flashes, sparks and
stars"

As near as can be determined by the
returns this morning the next legisla-
ture Of Utah viii consist of AZ Demo-
Gratis, 16 Republicans and five Cannon
fusionists. These fusionists are made
up Of two Republicans and three Dem
ocrats, so that, in all matters except
the senatorial election, the legislature
will stand 45 Democrats and 1S Repub-
Hcans. There win be two Republicans
in the senate and 16 in the house.
The returns are incomplete and in
definite as to some counties, but the
estimate given herewith is made up
from the best information at hand.
Emery is placed in the Democratic col
umn, on account of the heavy Demo-
cratic majority it would be necessary
for the Republicans to overcome. Bea-
yer is given to the Republicans, al
though the official count may change
the result. The Republicans have made
some gains in Wayne. but it is not
believed they will be sufficient to wipe
out the Democratic majority Of 1886.
The Republicans gain their members
in Cache, Sanpete, Beaver. Grand, Rich
and Summit counties, with good pros
poets in Box Elder, Millard and TOOele.
According to this estimate the mem
bershiD of the next LEGISLATURE viii be
as follows, including hOld-Over MEM
berS:
