Some interesting observations made
by NJ. Ftio on the surgical treatment
OF wounds by birds we're recently
brought before the Physical Society Of
Geneva. In these II was established
that the snipe hadoften been observed
in repairing damages. With its beak
and feathers IL makes very creditabls
dressing, and even has been known to
secure broken limb by means OF a
stout ligature. On one occasion NJ.
Fatio killed q snipe which had on It's
chest large dressing composed Of
down from other parts OF the body and
securely fixed to the body by coagu-
lated blood. Twice he had snipe with
interviewer feathers strapped on 70 the
site Of fracture OF one or oth~r limb.
The most interesting example : ,as that
OF snipe both OF whose legs l-e had
unfortunately broken by misdi.
rected shot. He only recovered II on
the following day, when he found that
the wounded bird had contrived to
apply dressings and sort Of splint to
both limbs. In carrying out this OPP
GRAFTON some feathers had become en-
tangled round the beak, and not being
able TO use its claws to get rid ofthsm
the poor creature was almost dead

Fruits as foods, are, then, peaches,
apricots, nectarines; ripe, mellow ap.
pies; dates, figs, fresh and dried |;
prunes without skins; persimmons.
papaws; very ripe or cooked bananas;
guavas without seeds fresh or canned
without sugar; pineapples, grated or
finely picked, never cut; mangoes,
grapes; sweet plums without skins,
sugar cherries, and an occas ional
cooked pear. Bartletts are excellent
when canned without sugar. =
The fruits which must be used
sparingly are lemons. oranges, shad-
docks, cnrrants, barberries, cranberries
and strawberries. This applies most
emphatically to those persons who are
inclined to uric acid conditions. The
rheumatic and gouty should also most
rigidly abstain. The tender lining
OF a chiId's stomach cannot, certainly,
bear such fruits any length Of time;
serious results must follow. The ripe,
mellow peach is really the child's
fruit. Ladies' Home Journal.

A writer in Casters Magazine, de.
scribing the completely Ia o modern
battleship, cites the Iowa, In which II
may almost be said that nothing Ii
done by hand except the opening and
closing Of throttles and pressing OF
electric buttons. Her guns are loaded,
trained and fred, her ammunition
hoisted, her turyets turned, her tor
bedoes --mechanisIns OF themselves---
are tubed and elected, the ship steered,
her boats hoisted out aud in, the In
terror lighted and ventilated, the
great searchlights operated and even
orders transmitted from bridge or
coming tower to all parts by mechan-
ical appliances. Surely no more strik-
ing yiew than this OF the develop
nent OF thirty.fve years could be Of
forded. = ~
This growth Of completely and .elab-
Grafton and this almost infinite multi
plication Of parts aud devices have en-
tailed upon the naval architect aud
constructor demands and difficulties
never dreamed OF In earlier days.
The stafrsquired 10 design and con-
struct an Iowa IL multiplied In num-
Der, and the complexity Of its organi-
zation Is augmented as compared with
that required for the design and con-
strnction of the New Ironsides almost
indefinitely.
Similar conditions apply to COM
mand and management, so that. while
the building Of modern battleship
entails enormous work and RESPONSE
bility on the naval architect. con-
structor and staff, the effective use Of
her as a tool In the trade Of war pre-
sents an equal variety and intricscy
of problems to students Of the art OF
naval warfare.

begun to diy up and even springs that

blazing sun shone down from cloud

vegetation and depressing the hard
working sons and daughters of the
land with fear that distress would
soon be their portion--distress that
might take on starvation's form.
about this time the religious peo-
pie Of the county began to hold prayer
meetings to invoke assistance OF the
Deity. In every community the good
old farmers and their families assem-
bled to pray for rain. This was at an
epoch when the scientific ideas about
producing rain from explosives had
not gained foothold, and no fakirs
went about, as they lately have done
in Kansas and other parts Of the west,
Offering to bring showers at so much

''No, indeed; these were the times
of simple faith and belief in the efii-
cacy Of supplication to the Omnipo-
tent. In one neighborhood in the
county of Coweta, where the drought

and at the time appointed congrega-
ton Of several hundred sufferers met
to beg that the drought be broken.

thirty six hours after the delivery of

On September !, 1891, there were
only three German cities having cleo
trio street railways. On September
/, 1897, fifty-six cities were already in
possession OF such railroads, while
thirfy-four other cities had roads un-
der construction or were taking steps
to bald them. At the latter date
there were SIS miles--or, counting
double tracks twice, s27 miles--of
