polar bear hibernates during the en-
tire winter, but the male is always out

that hibernate are usually very fat at
the beginning of cold weather, but
come out in the spring extremely thin.
The faculties are dormant during this
period. Indeed certain creatures may
be deprived of some portion of their
members without apparent pain. A
bat was examined after having been
in the torpid state for some time, when
1t was found that its wings were
broken. 1t was apparently dead, but
after being held in the hand for few
minutes 1t began to move uneasily, and
upon recovering was found to be vi
cious in the extreme, swapping and bit
ing everything that came within its
reach. The woodchuck and hedgehog
are among the most perfect examples
of alternating animals. II disturbed

however, are very sensitive to shocks.
A slight blow of an axe upon the tree
in which they have made their homes
is often sufficient to kill them, and on

alive, as is supposed, and manyo of them
have been known to remain for long

whether there is a scientific reason for
all this; and IL so by what theory can
these conditions be accounted for, and
how can they be produced at will.

Tho Eject of Fog.

Accidents due to the observation OF
objects by fog are so common that
scientists are making a study OF abb
sorbent power of fog as regards lights
of all kinds. 1t appears that London
fog absorbs EOS per cent of the light
from an incandescent burner. while the
ordinary gas flame loses but Ill per
cent. The incandescent light contains
more blue, and this is readily absorbed
by the fog Red lights are much more
penetrative than blue, and as the gas
light contains far more red than the
electric, it is much more valuable as
light for use in very heavy fogs. 1t
is a fact familiar to every one that
when the sun shows through mist, 1t
is of a deep red color. This Is &C
counted for by the fact that the blue
rays are entirely absorbed, leaving
only the red with its much more power
full quality of penetration.

Those who are studying the wheat
situation are interested in the fact that
the worlds available wheat supply on
February l was 152,OOO,0OO bushels as
against 173,000,000 bushels a year ago.
Wheat is now commanding the highest
prices in years and indications are
that it will reach much higher figures
before the new crop is harvested. The
Chicago wheat syndicate is disposing
of its holdings at fancy prices, and
when this stock disappears, the re-
sources Of the country will be severely
taxed to meet the demand. The Chi
cago market advanced three cents last
week, and it is expected that all rec
ords for high prices will be broken be-
fore the deal is closed.

Evolved from Garba ge.

The garbage Of great city is worth

lied. In st. Louis, Mo-, the refuse is
placed in enormous vertical cylinders,
surrounded by steam jackets, which
evaporate the seventy-five to eighty per
cent of water in the garbage. The fat
ty substances are dissolved and as the
result of number of processes a fer
tilizer is produced which is worth from
nine dollars to twelve dollars per ton,
the demand exceeding the supply. One
of the purest and best soaps of the
country was made of garbage grease
before cotton-seed oil entered the field.
1t is now proposed to light London by
electricity for nothing. 1t now costs
that city $1.0S (4s Sd) to get rid of
ton of garbage. A combination of boil
ers and other apparatus has been de-
vised that can burn the garbage az
twenty-four cents Zone shilling) per
ton, and generate steam sufficient to
run enough dynamos to light the en-
tire city. London can thus save IS Sd
on each ton, and. in addition, illumin-
ate its city without cost. Garbage, by
a machine called the "dust Instructor"
is converted into clinkers, which can
be used for roadways, az artificial stone
for sidewalks, and as sand for mortar
and cement. In Paris the invisible
particles OF iron, worn from wheels and
from the shoes of horses, are rescued

A Paris Exposltlon wonder.

the palace of war and of the navy will
be a remarkably interesting and orig

architects to whom the contract has
been awarded, Messrs, Umbdenstock &

full.
The building is designed to show the
great transformation that has taken
place in the navy during the last two
centuries. Accordingly, at the left ex-
tremity of the building they have
placed the poop of one of the immense
galleys that formed the feet of Louis
XIV, with its antique guns, its blue

its sails and rigging.

Is There such n Disease as Hydrophobia?
When doctors disagree and acknovl-
edged authorities fall out and wrangle
over important points, or on matters
that affect human life and safety. it
is useless for the lay mind to struggfc
with such subjects. One medical asso-
cation and a great many competent
authorities have decided that there is
no such disease as hydrophobia. Now
the Lancet" announces that the only
safeguard against this disease is to
keep dogs muzzled. Surely this must
be an unnecessary precaution, II there
is no such disease TO combat. The
public will watch with a great deal of
interest the outcome of dispute upon
a question that so closely concerns the
safety OF large number OF families in
all quarters OF the globe.

ANGEL ISLAND HOSPITAL.

WASHINGTON, September 27.-Ma-
Jor General Merriam, commanding the
department of the Pacific, tonight
was given authority by telegraph to
erect pavilion hospital of 400 beds
on Angel Island, near San Francisco.
The definite location and plans of the
hospital are to be approved by Lieu
tenant Colonel Middleton, chief sur
geon of the department of the Paci-
tic.
Several days ago Lieutenant Colon
ell Middleton recommended to Surgeon
General Sternberg that in view of the
occupation of Manila by 10000 troops
and of Honolulu by 1000 troops, pa
vilion hospital be erected at some con-
venient point near San Francisco for
the accommodation of patients that
might be sent back to this country.
The post hospital at the Preside at
San Francisco has accommodations
for only forty patients. The division
hospital, located in two of the barracl,
buildings, has at present 1926 patients
The room il now occupies will be re-
CURED shortly by the troops as bar
racks. Lieutenant Colonel Middleton
regards Angel Island as the most de-
sirable in the vicinity of San Francis

luxurious, it is free from wind and
fog and is isolated from the city, be-
ing reached only by boat.
