TO STOP BLEEDING.
Electricity Now Declared to Be the
 Best Relief.

Electricity Now Declared to Be the
 Best Relief.
 The arresting of bleeding in surgical operations has always been one of the difficulties in certain cases, and the electric current has been used before this with view to bringing about that condition of heat which is necessary in order to cause the blood to elot and so act as a block to the mouth of bleeding vessels, arresting hemorrhage. This, indeed, has resulted in the utilization of the electric cautery, as it is called in certain operations, the platinum wire at red or almost white heat even SUD- planting the knife, because it burns through the tissues and at the same time prevents the wound bleeding to any great extent. This effect of heat was, indeed, known to our ancestors, who used red hot irons or boiling pitch, to scar the surface of the flesh after their operations, thus causing an im> mense amount Of suffering to the pa- tient, before the days of chloroform. A new adaptation of this use of elec- tricity, for the purpose of stopping bleeding has been devised by inclosing a platinum wire in a pair of foreeps Of other instrument, the wire being insu- lated in bed of burnt pipe clay, and as soon as the bleeding vessel is seiz- ed by the forceps and compressed in the ordinary way, an electric current is turned on, whose effect is so great that the tissues and the walls of the blood vessels are all agglutinated, so that the blood is no longer able to pass.

FOUR MILLION FOR A YACHT.
Huge Fortunes Sunk in Building sump-
 tuous Pleasure Craft.

The new steam yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been built for the queen at Tenby, will be on completion the handsomest and fastest yacht any British sovereign has possessed. It will rank only second to the emperor of Bussia's wonderful yacht, the Polar Star. which is said to have cost close upon G1 ,000000. Nothing more lavish 1y elaborate than the fitting and deco ration of the Polar Star could easily be imagined Money has been drilled into her frame in hundredweights. The decorations of the dining saloon, which will seat 150 guests, cost approximately s100,000. Exquisite paintings by some of the most celebrated artists adorn the saloons and cabins and all the woodwork is elaborately carved. There is fine library and music-room aboard and a beautiful white marble fountain, while some of the ornaments are of the rarest. The Standart, the ezar's smaller steam-yacht of 4,300 tons, is much more frequently used than the Polar Star. She costs slight ly over $2,600,000. This is only about half the price of the Polar Star, but the Standart is one of the most sump- tuous yachts afoat. There is accom- modation aboard for a crew of 300 twenty officers and eighty passengers. There are three magnificent suites Of apartments devoted to the use of the emperor, empress and dowager em- press, fine library, a billiard-room and music saloon. The dining saloon is paneled in tulipWood; the door handles, finger plates and the lamp fittings are of heavily carved solid sil- yer. There is a fine marble bathroom, with heavy silver fittings, and the walls and doors of the principal cabin are elaborately inlaid with ivory and mother-of-p pearl. So many improve ments and additions have been made to her appointments since she was first completed that she is now worth probably half as much again as she originally cost. The German emperor's famous steam yacht, the HohenZollern, Of nearly 1000 tons, was, considering her beauty and purpose, a eompara- lively inexpensive vessel, costing con- siderably less than s1,000.000. She has very beautiful interior and splen- did accommodation for crew and pas sengers alike, and is considered one of the fastest, smoothest-goin yachts A1oat.

Ages of Birds.

It is only possible at present to col- lect data from the duration of lives of birds in captivity; evidence otherwise must be unreliable, and it is purely a matter of theory as to whether the natural possible life is greater than that under the unnatural conditions of captivity. There are records of a nightingale having lived twenty five years, thrush seventeen, blackbird that was still alive at twenty and a half, goldfnch twenty~three, and skylarks of twenty-four and twenty. Ravens, owls and cockatoos are popu- larly supposed to live to very great age, and the following records appear to be authentic: Raven, fifty; gray parrot, fifty and forty; blue maeaw. sixty-four; eagle owls, fifty-three, and one still alive at sixty eight.

RATS LEVIED BLAcKMAIL.
They Were Fed to Let, Certain Eat
 abIes Alone.

Rats have always levied toll in some way on the human race. BlacKmall cheerfully paid to rats is, however new to history and tribute to their great abilities, says the Chicago News. They had established them selves under a meat market and, ae- cording to the owner, "the way they used to pick and choose was dreadful : When two carcasses of mutton were available they would eat the prime and leave the poorer. The best was hardly good enough for them, and they were cunning even beyond the cun- ming of market rats. So the owner re- solved to make treaty and pay black mail, relying on the economic wisdom of rats. He gave them three square meals a day, with plenty of variety, in hope that the rats would be ap- peased and not eat mutton at night, too. The menu was bread, fancy bis cult, potatoes and sugar, and was laid near the rats front door. At first they used to come up furtively and carry the food off to their holes. But now they come out regularly in the shop, eating their luncheon on equal terms with their hosts. Their leader is an old grizzled rat, who has lost an ear. He has become the medium" between the high contracting parties and sets an example to his own side by eating bread and biscuits out of the shop mems fingers. The rats now behave exactly like other tribes when in re- eeipt of blackmai1, in that they drive off all intruders. fThe other day. said one of the shopmen, a strange rat got in among 'em and you should have seen lem chase him out They ran him out the shop, in front of all of us, and I believe if he'd a stayed they'd have killed him."

Prof Vasilief, who has given much thought to the subject of China, says that Islam is spreading rapidly in that country. And Rev. MT.
