benile Decay and Reiuven8aoence.
In his opening address to the ZOO
logy section Of the British association.
Prof. Sedgwick said that since organ
isms are liable to wear and tear.
sooner OF later some part or parts es-
sential to the maintenance Of the vital
functions wear out and are not re-
newed by the ~reparative processes
which are supposed to be continually
taking place in the organism. This
constitutes senile decay, and leads to
the death of the organism. There is
no reason to suppose that the repair
alive process Of any organism, not even
Of the lowest infusoria, is sufficiently
complete to prevent senile decay. With
regard to buds in plants, there is rea-
son to believe that they share in the
growing old Of the parent. That is
70 say, II we suppose the average life
OF the plant to be 100 years, a bud
removed at so will be so years Of age,
and only be able to live on the graft
for fifty more years. AS good exam
pies of the kind of cause of senile de-
cay, the professor mentioned the wear
ing out Of the teeth which, in NAM
mails, at any rate, are not replaced;
and the wearing out of the elastic It's
sue Of the arterial wall, which is prob
ably not replaced.

He boards On Windsor street and is
the youngest brother Of a Detroit law
yer. He hasn't been away from school
long, and what he thinks he has for
gotten would MI a volume. The young
ladies at the table try to squelch him
with looks and cutting remarks, but
they waste their time, He is impervi-
GUS to their snubs and bits Of sarcasm
He continues his unsalted, verdant
course, unruhied. And now they call
him Truth" "Why?" some one asked
a young lady boarder the other even
ing. And she replied naively: BE

On July 10 last an eruption of stones,
ashes and steam occurred from the
great crater of Mount Etna, and the
astronomical observatory situated
near the base of the browning cone Of
the volcano had a remarkable escape,
Stones were shot to a height Of more
than a mile, anu thirty holes were
made by these proiectiles in the iron
dome Of the observatory, which covers
a large and valuable telescope. For
tunately the instrument was not
touched. Fifty holes in the ground
near the observatory show how close
and fierce was the strange lombard
ment. Where the falling stones pierced
the wooden floor holes we're burned.

New ALLOW.

a new alloy known as magnalium
has recently been invented by DR.. Lud-
wig Mach, a German scientist, and
consists Of a combination of aluminium
and magnesium, resulting in a COM
pound which is lighter than aluminium
and can be worked like brass. The
two metals have properties that make
them well suited for such a union, and
in making the alloy any change in the
proportions will give different char
acters to the compound. If ten per
cen Of magnesium is used the alloy
is like zinc; with Is per cent, 1t re-
sembles brass, and with % per cent
1t is similar to a compound bronze. It
is claimed that it can be soldered, that
1t will resist dampness, and gives good
castings. It is as white as silver, and
sufficiently hard to cut aluminium;
while it can be worked in the lathe
with as great facility as brass. Mag
nahum is particularly suited for lens
%mountings and instruments where
light weight is a desirable considera-
ton. When purchased by volume the
new alloy is less expensive than brass,
and has been spoken favorably of by
leading German instrument makers.

man with the uncultivated Hlacs. that

In suburban and rural districts un-
provided with underground drainage,
sinks, such as are ordinarily used In
kitchens, are fitted with dr%ain-pipes
arranged to discharge the refuse water
into catch-pails. usually placed in a
cabinet located beneath the bowl Of the
sink. In use these receptacles frequent
ly overflow and cause considerable
damage and Inconvenience. An inven-
tion to avoid accidents Of this kind has
been recently patented by an inventor
Of Kelso. N. ID. He provides a
device which Is operated by a float
properly positioned within the catch
basin, so that when the latter becomes
nearly filled the fact is indicated by the

AL EleotrIo Foghorn.

A Canadian engineer has invented a
foghorn in which the noise is produced
by half a dozen clappers striking a
gong and actuated by electromagnetic.
A dynamo. supplied with power by a
naphtha engine, furnishes the current.
About 600 strokes per second fall upon
the gong, thus producing a practically
continuous sound, and this is magni-
fed and governed in direction by a
megaphone. A small model Of the
horn Is said to have made itself audi
BILE at a distance of two miles.

A few centuries ago the bitterest foes
in the world. probably. were the Span
ish and the Dutch. Spain oppressed
the Netherlands with unparalleled
cruelties; the Dutch withstood the enc
my and finally conquered them with
unsurpassed heroism. Today the Span
iards are sending friendly c~ongratula-
tions to the Dutch in South Africa on
their stubborn defense of their indie
pendence-the independence which the
Spaniards themselves in the days Of
Alva so furiously denied. The whirli-
gig Of time has shown us few more
striking changes of attitude than this.
Spain once the great oppressor is
a friend Of liberty. England once the
Gibraltar Of liberty is fghting that
which made her great.

Florence Nightingale, now close upon
so years Of age, wrote a letter to sur
vivors Of Balaklava as a greeting for
their recent union. The fragrance Of
her philanthropic work in the Crimean
wa is still a sweet SAVIOR after nearly
half a century. What she did was a
revelation to the world how a great
purpose can carry one through labors
almost measureless, amid surroundings
fitted TO try the stOuIest heart. Those
who saw the charge Of the Light Bri-
gade. and also Witnessed her heroic
labors, might well have reckoned her
chances OF survival far less than those
of the men who faced the guns. Was
not hers a case Of losing life yet saving
IT? She was a martyr in will, If not
in deed, but was spared for further
service and permitted to be a pattern
in noble works.

Il will have to give a word or two in
explanation in order TO insure a thor
ough appreciation of this story" said
j. r. ROckhill, of Chicago, at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. In the southern nli-
nois town where my father lives there
used to be a selectman named Wat
kins, who had held Office so long and
reached so advanced an age that jokes
about few die and none resign, ne
had solved the question Of living for
ever, ETC.. were constantly applied to
him. Another selectman by the name
Of Lindsey. who was something Of a
Wit, was very sick and not expected
to live, and while he was in this state
Watkins fell i'll Of pneumonia, from
which disease he subsequently died. A
friend calling on Lindsey told him Of
Watkins sickness and that his death
was momentarily expected. A twinkle
crept into LindEey's eye as he whis-
pered to his friend: No; Watkins
won't die this time. Hen never die.
They'll have TO shoot him on judgment
day. New York Tribune.

"Citizen Sunday" has become a fixed
institution in London. and this year on
that date the clergymen in more than
300 churches of that city preached upon
the duties Of the citizen to the state.
That is an institution which might
well be adopted in this country. A man
may be a good citizen without being
religious; but at n rate every man
who is truly religious should be a good
citizen, and all the better citizen be-
cause he is religious.
