The letters on sleep n dreams in the
Spectator remind me of a case in the
experience of Agassiz. and which he told
me himself, thought it is not recorded IN
his work on the American fishes.
He was studying a fossil fish in the Jar
din des Plantes. but had never been able
to determine the species to his satisfac-
ton. After a time he dreamed that he
caught the very fish, and without diff
Guilty determined the question, thinking.
as he woke from the dream, that he
would now have no difficulty. But on re-
turning to the fossil, something in the
dream had escaped him, and he could nd
more determine the species thar before.
The next morning he had the same dream,
and again forgot the essential point.
He then determined TO a a pencil and
paper with him to bed. and make his note
as soon as he awoke. The dream came
the third time. but to his surprise on
awakening he found the drawing made
n lying on the table at his bed
side. with three bones displayed in it
which were not visible in the fossil, and
which solved the problem.
On returning to the Iardirl des Planes,
director, to chip away a scale of stone
which lay ongthe spot where the bones
were in the drawing. and found them
there as his drawing had given them. 1t
is thirty years since Agassiz told me the
Incident, hut those who have access TO
his history of North American fishes Will
be able to read it in his own words in
the Introduction, and correct my version

shaking Hands.


Men shake hands witt strangers of their
own sex with far greater readiness than
do women. Two men, on being presented
to one another, will frequently extend
the hand in a grasp Of greeting, which
gives opportunity to form a general idea
Of each Others make up, and know
whether they are attracted or repulsed.
Occasionally there is a man with
sufficient good nature and cour-
age to refuse another mans hand
without causing offense. There are
men who have been SO Impress
ed with the discoveries of baeterfology
that they maintain h-andshaking to be
the cause Of dissemination Of disease
germs. The bare hand comes in contact
with inalumerable germs looking for pas
turage on some vulnerable spot on our
anatomy. A cut or abrasion on the hand
leaves the door open for the admission Of
an enemy. Therefore 1t is with reason

 BOILER EXPLOSION.
One Man Killed and Another Seri- ously Injured in Woodland
 nica

WOODLAND, March 16-E. J. Baird, a fruit-grower, living three miles north of Woodland, met with an awful death at 5:30 this afternoon. He was employed as engineer of an irrigating plant at John Martins gardens. While in the act of putting straw into a furnace the engine blew up. Baird was hurled sixty yards, his clothing almost torn off, his body badly mangled, many bones broken, and the flesh horribly cooked.
 John Martin had just dumped a load of straw, and was leaning against the wheel of the engine with his back to the boiler He was knocked down and rolled over half a dozen times before he could get up. His face was bruised, both eyes closed and both arms and back badly burned but no bones were broken, and he will re- cover and probably not lose his sight.
 The head of the engine was blown through the air a distance of eighty yards. The engine and trucks were blown forty feet in the opposite direction.
 lived 800 yards from the scene of the dis aster. Mrs Baird heard the explosion, but didn't know what had occurred until informed of the death of the husband. The evening meal was all ready and on the table awaiting her husbands return. Martins aged mother lives 200 wards away on the opposite side of the creek. She heard the explosion and understood its terrible import. She tried to cross the bridge and collapsed.
