though they admitted that IL did not
come up to their expectations Still,
sixty four wanderers from Intsr-stsllar
space were sighted, of which number over
three-quarters seemed to shoot out from
the constellation OF Leo The weather
was very favorable after LEO o'clock, the
sky being practically clsar. Better re-
sults are looked for tonight when the
watch will be continued.

the action of antissptics on the human

tilted is rsed as preventative, Prof.
Chittenden said, retards digestion. Borax
has like effect, but he had found no
deieterlons eff, CT from the use Of boracic
acid In small quantities.
Asked his opinion as to the value Of
national law regulating the use of preser-
vatives, Prof. Chit.enden said the best
result would be obtained by compelling
msnuf ,ctrrer to stamp on their pro-
ducts the nature and quality of tae pre-
servatives used.
He believed there should be law pro-
hibiting the uss OF coIoring matter in
preserving fruits and vegetables.
Prof. Chittendeu said he would favor
the liking OF United States standard
Of purity Of all food products including
liquors and the appointment OF commits
sion of scientists to fix such standards.

try In the Albany Medical college. and
director Of the safe board of health labo-

Nature,s Cunnine.

Protective mimicry, that cunning de-
vice of nature to preserve animals from
their enemies. is well shown IN the
eggs of certain fishes. notably the Cali
fornian shark known as q yropleurodus
francisco. The shark isof q sluggish
habit. lurking among rocks. and its
dark egg resembles a leaf Of kelp or sea-
weed folded up spirally. It is deposited
among the beds Of kelp and clings to
the leaves by the edges Of the spirala.
The young shark bursts open the end
Of the egg and swims away. Another
sharks egg Of the Pacific coast has ten
tacles, which claep the seaweed and
also initiate it's appearance.
