Once Was Enough,

The young man who was trying to
make the st. Joe boat was about two
minutes late as he tore along River
street. He could see the steamer hands
casting off the ropes as he drew nearer.
and, humping amazed citizens out of
his way. he rushed for the dock. The
gangplank had been hauled in. and the
nose OF the steamer had swung six
feet out into the river when lie finally
reached the waters edge. But that
did not deter him. He was going to
spend Sunday In Michigan or know
why.
With n giant swing he tossed his va.
Use aboard and then jumped for the
steamer. lie caught rope and post
and held fast Every officer on the
boat expected to see him drop into the
river, aud bells tangled noIslly as the
captain peered over the side. When he
saw the intrepid passenger was safe,
the captain was twice as mad as IL he
had dropped Into the water. Shaking
his fist at him angrily. he yelled:
Here. you. by jimmy crickets. don't
you ever do thar again.
The passenger had hauled himself
aboard by this time and. turning
look of scorn ut the captain, said

In a recent article on the origin of
the Yosemite valley, Professor W. p.
Blake--a most adequate authority on
the subject-remarks that the gorge, so
grand and impressive. is. in fact, only
a minor feature of the glacial workings
above it through hundreds of square
miles of the Sierra. Professor Blake
thinks that the ice must have filed the
gorge, and much above ii. to n thick
ness of 5000 feet, and with a pressure
upon the floor of the valley of 10000
pounds to the square foot; the ire
mendous force of such weight, on the
under surface of which was a broken
mass of rock. like diamonds in drill,
grinding. planning and cutting. can
scarcely be imagined; for untold ages,
too, this mighty force was at work,
polishing the face of the country
through which ii passed.
The character of the Yosemite rock
being granite. close grained and verti-
cal In structure, with points of easy
fracture. 1t would appear thar. as the
great mass of ice bore down upon this
vertical rock, it was broken and knock
ed over by the moving ice. taking Off
at the PAGES of easy cleavage. Thus.
according to Professor Blake, the prec-
ipice was formed. and thus is explain
ed the dome shaped submits of the
mountains there.

Fish Poisoning.

In the United States fish poisoning Is
most frequently due to decomposition
In canned fish. The most prominent
symptoms are nausea. vomiting and
purging. Sometimes there is scarla-
tinons rash. which may cover the
whole body. The writer has studied
two outbreaks of this kind of fish poi
soning In both instances canned salm-
on was the cause Of the trouble. Al
though a discussion Of the treatment OF
food poisoning Is foreign TO this paper,
the writer must call attention to the
danger In the administration of Cpl
ates In cases of poisoning with canned
fish.
Vomiting and purging are efforts on
the part of nature to remove the poi
son and should be assisted by the stom-
ach tube and by irrigation of the colon.
In one of the cases seen by the writer
large doses of morphine had been adj
minstered In order to check the yom-
iting and purging and TO relieve the
pain. In this case death resulted. The
danger OF arresting the elimination Of
the poison in all cases of food poison
ing cannot be too emphatically con-
demned. Victor G. Vaughan in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

WINGS OF THE HoNEYBeE.
A Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful schemes.

At n meeting of the New York MI
eroscopical society the president of the
organization exhibited. besides other
things, the honeybee's wing. showing
the booklets by means OF which the
lower of the two wings OF the bee is
Joined to the upper wing In flying. thus
making them practically single wing.
The upper of the two wings Is about
half ali inch In length, the lower n little
shorter. The wings come together
where they are Joined TO the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into its hive, 1t folds its wings
together, one leaf over the other, so
that they will take up less room. When
1t goes abroad, 1t spreads its wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
the upper edge of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though 1t had
an extra plate or rib stretched along
there, and to this rib, spaced apart at
regular intervals, though they are all
contained within total space of little
more than a quarter of an inch, there
are attached 10 or 20 tiny, bony hooks.
There Is a little thickening ut the base
OF each hook, where nature has
strengthened it, and one Is inclined to
regard the hooks as inset separately
and to look for the rlyets wherewith
they were secured to the plate or rib
from which they spring.
The lower edge of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope is seen
to be curled UP into tiange or trough.
When the bee comes out OF the hive, 1t
hooks the hooks on the upper edge Of
the lower wing into that fange or trough
at the lower edge of the upper wing
and so makes the two wings practical
ly one.-New York Sun.
