About II, 100000 Italians are exposed
to malarial fever There are about
100000 cases every year, with an
average mortality of $4,000. This
proves that mosquitoes are more dead
ly in Italy than snakes and tigers in
India.
Mt. St. Elias has been badly shaken
by an earthquake. 1t is said that the
mountain was considerably torn up.
The shock was so severe that mass
of ice, acres in extent, broke loose
from the top of the mountain, and
went crashing down the sides carry
ing everything with it.
1t has been asserted that insects are
particularly attracted by the colors of
certain flowers. Felix Plateau, after
investigating the conduct of insects in
their visits to various flowers, con-
cludes that while they may perceive
colors and thus be enabled to distin-
guish, at a distance, between flowers
and leaves, yet they show no prefer
ences among the different colors. Blue,
red, yellow, white are Indifferent to
them. He thinks that the odor of
flowers affects insects more than their
colors do.
w. f. Rightmire, in Forest and
Stream, tells of a simple method Of
cure for the bites of venomous snakes
that is used in Arizona. This consists
in making two cuts through the place
bitten and forcing the blood out of it
to carry off the poison. Meanwhile
the person bitten chews and swallows
a piece of alum the size Of chestnut
and then chews fine another piece and
spreads it on the cut, which is then
bound up. Though the cuts may make
the bitten spot sore, no swelling re-
suits. The alum acts as an astringent,
to arrest bleeding.
P. A. Minakoff has made an eXhaus-
tive study of the nails Of the hand,
some of the results of which he re-
CARDS as of medico-legal Importance.
Among other things he asserts that the

diminishes progressively from the
thumb to the little finger.
Professor Johnstone Stoney, in de-
veloping his theory of the escape of
gases from planetary atmospheres de.
pending upon the force of gravity OF
the particular planets concerned. has
concluded that helium at present is
slowly escaping from the earth, and
in distant past time it probably es-
capped much more rapidly. From Mars,
he says, water vapor must have es-
capped with about the same readiness
as helium fled from the EARTH and
accordingly the variable white patches
about the poles Of Mars are not snow,
but probably frozen carbon dioxide.
Other appearances frequently observed
on Mars are due, he thinks, to low-ly
ing fogs of carbon doXide vapor shift
ing alternately between the pole and
the equatorial regions.

About Damn Table Salt.


One OF the petty annoyances of the
table is damp salt, and housekeepers
who are solicitous and particular about
everything else seem to be singularly
nbtuse in this matter. Aside from the
dampness of the salt, little attention
is paid to the quality. 1t seems to be
taken for granted that salt Is salt
without any degrees of excellence.
Nothing should be used but prepared
table salt, which can always be got,
and little trouble is now experienced
in getting salt so prepared that it will
shake out freely. In any case. the
difficulty can always be overcome by
beating the saltcellars before each
meal, or by mixing cornstarch with
the salt In the proportion Of one part
of starch to ten of salt. The heating

The Boardwnlk Foot.

The doctors have discovered new femi-
nine disease. It is called the Boardwalk
foot. The first symptom that the young
woman is conscious OF after her return
from promenade Of miles and miles on
hot planks in the sun. at the seacoast, is a
throbbing. swelling sensation that calls for
bathing and cold cream. The continued
tramps produce blisters on the sole that
become callous in time-ana there you
have the Boardwalk foot. Just why It
is considered feminine failing entirely is
not SO plain to see. Why does the aver
age young woman spend go much of her
summer holiday on the boardwalk? Natu-
rally, to be admired by the average young
man? Is it to be supposed that he escapes
the throbbihgs and swelling and things?
And II he does, is not nature palpabl7 un-
fair? People who like to dig into the
mysteries Of .niugs might be able to prove
in this way, that mother nature does not
believe in the equality Of women and men.
