Elephants Mt Work..

Most persons have at one time 4,
another seen the trained elephants in
the circus ride the tricycle., sit On a
chair, and do other tricks Of that sort;
but there is something forced about
the whole thing. and the spectator feels
that IL II were not for the ropes and
the. tents and the guards, the poor
beast would make a clean bolt. Out In
Rangoon. at the timber mills, however,
the elephant is really OF great service
to man. He carries the great planks
from place to place and stacks them up
with such dexterity as to- not only dig
pense with an engine and cars, but
much manual labor besides. With only
a native "mahout" perched upon his
back to guide him, the elephant will
lend q hand in laying railways, build
ing houses or any mortal thing after
a little instruction. When the bell
rings they know the days work ais
finished. and they simply refuse to do
another turn. Mahouts have paid the
penalty Of trying to make them work
after hours" with their lives. Y

The weeping tree, OF, the Canary Is-
lands is one of the wonders OF plant
life. IT is of the laurel family, and
rains down a copious shower OF water
drops from its tufted foliage. The wa.
ter is often collected atathe foot Of the
tree and forms a kind OF pond, from
which the inhabitants Of the neigh bor-
hood can supply themselves with a bcv-
erage that is absolutely fresh and pure.
The water comes out Of the tree itself
through innumerable pores situated at
the margin Of the leaves. 1t issues from
the plant as vapor during thegday time,
when the heat is sufficiently great to
preserve it in that condition, but in the
evening. when the temperature has
lowered very much, a considerable
quantity of it is exuded in the form OF
liquid drops that collect near the edges
Of the leaves until these members so
bend down under their increasing
weight as to pass, for them, the limit
of the angle of repose, when the tears
tumble off on the ground below In q
veritable shower.

ANIMAL ms ANITY.

Horses Have Been Known Is 90 Ma.
NJ At.i-55tfs@ on the HattIeHsid.
The difficulty or the impossibility Of
defining insanity makes the question of
whether or not animals become insane
by no means easy to answer. insanity
In the human subject, 1t is supposed
by some, has no analogue In the lower
animals. Yet many causes will lead
to the permanent loss OF all self con-
troll. Cattle driven from the country
through the crowded thoroughfares OF
a town will, under the Influence Of this
sudden change of condition, work
themselves into state Of excitement
and fury which must at least be closes
ly allied to madness. Horses have been
known to go mad In the midst OF. tho
bewildering scenes OF a battlefield At!
Balaklava an Arabian horse turned up
on its attendant, who happened to be
drawing water, seized him ID its mouth,
threw him to the ground and then
.kneeling upon him attacked him like
an Infatuated dog. Before the terror
could be subdued it had bitten off an.
other soldiers finger and seriously
wounded the army veterinarian. An
other instance is related Of a docile
horse, which one hot summer day went
mad. Everything that came within
Its reach it seized in it's teeth and shock,
like a terrier would a rat:.sTIt raided
the 9pigsties and threw the inmates one
after another into the air Afterwards
1t almost killed its own master, after
manning for life the horseshoer who
was called in. This, at least, must have
been a case Of insanity. The cause of
such insanity is often to be. found tn
congenital malformation of the bones
of the head. Prof Ronanes even goes
SO far as to prove, by what appears to
be incontestable evidence. that animals,
cats, dogs and monkeys, have been OBJ
served to have delusions very similar
to those of insane people. III Al.

Inherited Diseases. !

The question OF heredity, or the
transmission Of certain mental traits
Or physical characteristics from par
,ents to children. is one that has been
much studied, but Of which as yet too
little Is known. Formerly the !fnher-
.itance of disease was believed In I'M
plicitly, by physicians as we'll as lay
men, and the list of maladies to Wh lllc' q
children were supposed be almost
Inevitably condemned by the aecid DEL
of birth was a very long one. Nm
y Among these hereditary diseases
were reckoned consumption and scrooi-
uIa, leprosy, govt, rheumatism, go'lltt le
cancer, insanity, epilepsy and many an
other nervous affections. IA
AS we learn more about these NAL
aides, however, one after another q
them is removed wholly or IN part
from this category and placed among ~ lgg
the acquired diseases. IA
Undonbt edly some diseases are real cal,
@ly inherited, but their number is GER
tainly not large. Many diseases run
IN families, but are not on that account "
necessarily hereditary. sss ID N
Consumption, for example, was only
recently regarded as one Of the most
surely Inherited diseases, and IS still
believed by many to be So But we
know that it is a germ disease which
while not catching in the ordiinla airy
sense OF the word, is readily transmit "a flt
ted from the sick to the well when tn ne
invalid is careless in his habits, espe-
cially as regards pectoration. y Is
also acquired more readily by those OF
delicate constitution than by the TO-
bust. 58 \. ID 5l

posed to- any Of the germ diseases, ana

germs Of consumption are necessarily

This Is an innpor tants fact. 1t teaches
lis thai. since, as a rule only the pre- re-
disposition to the family disease IS IN IN

Best Form Of instantaneous shutter.

According to Monsieur Sigriste of
the French Academy Of Sciences, the
only thoroughly scientific shutter for
instantaneous photography consists of
a slit moving rapidly across the sensi-
tive plate. But to obtain good results,
the space between the plate and the
shutter should not exceed one-tenth of
a millimetre, and the edges of the slit
must be sharp and carefully beyeled
to exclude reflection.

Japanese Tops.

Sir Rutherford Alcock, in his
Japan devotes some interesting
paragraphs to tops spinning, which the
Japanese carry to 4 9. point Of great
perfection. The tops are 1ofJ deligh
variety, both ii size and construction.
The largest, or father Of all tops, is
more than a foot in diameter, and
proportionately heavy. a5tt Isl NJ
u Some are; solid; others contain a
flock Of little ones which fly put, when
the top is lifted, and spin away BY
themselves. Others pull into a spiral
or ladder Of successive tops. One
draws up into a lantern, and spins
cheerily in that form. III
N The methods Of spinning are almost
beyond idescrip Even very large
top Is sometimes thrown as the Aus
tralian casts the boomerang, so that
while it appears to be, going straight
toward the head Of the, spectator, it
returns to the thrower and is caught
on his palm. M When it arrives thus,
the performer takes It by the spindle.
apparently stops it, sets it down, and
it recommences. Isl me-
Turn it upside down, and it proceeds
just as merrily on its iron-Spiked
head. The spinners balance it on any
kind of surface, round or fat, on the
edge of a fan, the sharpest Japanese
sword, along thin cord; and after
some moments Of unconcerned spin
ming there it is tossed on the table.
with apparent carelessness, when II
goes on working, unexhausted and in
exhaustible.
Y One of the most delicate perform
ances consists in spinning a top in the
left hand, up the left arm, round the
edge of the lobe at the back of the
neck, and down the other arm into
the palm of the right hand
Another is to- toss it spinning into
the air, and catch it on the hem of the
sleeve, whence it runs down into the
hand.
A third is to fling it UP and catch
it on the bowl of a pipe, pass it be-
hind the back, toss it to the front, and
!. there catch, it@again.
IA large, heavy top is sometimes set
in motion by rolling the peg in the
bite Of a cord, one end being held in
each hand, then flung ten or twenty
feet in air and caught with the SANS
cord, spinning always. This can be
fdone ten times in succession.
( but the grandest display consists Il
sending top spinning up rope to thu
head of mast. and then recalling i
again.

Mrs Nicholson had died aboutsthirCy

daughter two years, and a son about
eight years younger than John; and
John himself, the unlncky bearer Of a
name infamous in English history The
daughter, Maria, was a good girl--du-
tiful, pous, dull, but so easily startled
that to speak to her; was quite a peril

to talk about that, If you please" she
would say, and Is strike the boldest
/ speechless by her unmistakable pain;
this upon all topics-dress, pleasure,
morality, politics, in which the formula
was changed to my papa thinks other
WISE" and even religion, unless it was
approached with a particular whining
tone of voice. Alexander, the young
er brother, was sickly, clever, fond Of
books and drawing, and full of satlri-
cal remarks. In the midst of these
imagine that natural. clumsy, unintel-
ligent and mirthful animal, John;
mighty well-behaved in comparison
with ether lads, although notup to the
mark of the house in Randolph Ores

feetion, fnll9of ecaresses which were
never very warmly received; full Of

If he could have seen In another

but his sons empty outlaws over a
broken plate, empty, almost light
hearted remarks, struck him with pain
as the indices of weak mind.
Outside the family John had early
attached himself (much as dog may
follow a marauis) to the steps OF Alan
Houston, lad about year older than
himself, idle, trife wild, the heir to a
good estate which was still In the
hands OF rigorous trustee, and SO
royalty content with himself that he
took Johns devotion as thing of
course. The intimacy was gall to Mr..
Nicholson; it took his son from the
house, and he was a jealous parent; ; it
kept him from the office, and he was a
martinez; lastly, Mr.. Nicholson was am
bilious for his family lin which and

lived and he hated to see a son Of his
play second fiddle to an idler After
some hesitation he ordered that the
friendship should cease an unfair
command, though seemingly inspired
by the spirit OF prophecy; and John,
saying nothing, continued to disobey
the order under the rose.

wild in central Mexico, a new substi-
.tute for india-rubber has recently been
produced. The bark and wood are
ground up and nacerated with gaso:
line, oil of turpentfne, naphtha, or
some other hydrocarbon solvent, and
the gum thus extracted resembles
