Towns Which Have Disappeared.

The North sea is slowly but surely abb
scrbirg the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk.
The Cromer Of Caesars day now lies two
miles out at sea under many fathoms of
water, and the tides are stealthily creeping
toward its successor, and already wash
the place where the brick wall of light
house stood not long ago.
1t is difficult to realize that the village of
Dunwich. in Suffolk, was at one time a
royal town. the seat Of King Sigebert' 8
government; and that as late as the four
tenth century it YVES a populous and pros
porous town, and maintained fleet of war
vessels. A stealthy enemy was even then
at its gates, end gradually the port was
blocked with sand; houses crumbled into
the sea by hundreds, and stately mon
asteries and churches were enguiphed. To-
day, Dunwich has shrunk to a tiny village
with a population of little over 200 souls.

Vcgetarlans and Meat Eaters.

FROM Ilt-bits.
A careful examination Of the hearts Of
the vegetarian and the meat eater show
that the number of beats to the former
are fifty-eight to the minute and OF the
latter seventy-two. In twenty-four hours
this means q difference Of 10000 beats.
From this it is concluded that in the sum-
mer time the vegetarian has the advan-
tage, for he can keep cooler and in better
health under tina reduced number of heart
beats. But in cold climate, or in our own
winters. the heat generated by such slow
heart-beats would hardly be sufficient to
make life strong and resisting enough. The
trus verdict that one must reach Is that
the vegetarian Is better Off In the summer
and the meat-eater stronger in the winter.
