The LATEST and dirtiest people in tho
world have recently been discovered in
tile Caucasus. They live in an inacces-

BLACK Seq and the Caspian Sea. and as
they were 200 years ago, 30 they are
to-day. Seen from without there is a
certain pictllrc~uueness about Il Svanc-
tian village. although it merely consists
of miserable stone novels without any
attempt at form or adornlnent. Within
the houses are inconceivably filthy.
They are filled with rags, vermin and
dirt of every description. They possess
no fireplace or chimney. All the cook
ing. in fact, is done over Il hole scooped
owt III the middle of the floor. In these
houses men and women and children
are lia,ldled together; during the long
"i-.ter months they are shut in for days
at IL time. the cattle often sharing their
quarters. Every aperture has to be
closed on account of the cold. This long
imprisonment is, perhaps. tire cause of
the degradation of the people. Horrible
Diseases result from it, which are ag-
gravated by abnormal consumption of

An illustration OF the new lights
which science throws upon old qucs-
tons is tie modern explanation of an
experiment made nearly three centuries
ago by the French physician, Van Hell
mont. In q pot of earth weighing 200
pounds he planted Il willow branch
weighing five pounds. lie kept the
plant we'll waterel. and in five years
the willow had gained 1854 pounds in
weight. Willie the earth in the pot had
lost only two ounces Van Helmont
inferred that the plants gain was due
only to the water Which had Hen sup.

that the gain was in Il great measure
due to the carbon absorbed from the
