SPREAD OF DISEASE BY ANNA LIS.
ne subject of the relationship be-
tween the diseases to which man is
liable and those from which animals
suner5 IS very interesting and impor-
tanlt, and will well repay the study now
pelng given to it by physicians and
veterinary surgeons. These diseases
may be divided into three classes
those e's. equally affecting both man and
animals, those special to man, but
which may also be caught by animals
and those belonging to animals, but
which may attack man if he comes in
close contact with the sick animal.
OF those equally affecting both man
and animals the best known is tuber-
culosis. Some physicians insist that
the tuberculosis of cows is not the
same as that Of human beings, but
most are of the opinion that the differ
ences between the two diseases are
only such as might be expected to exist
B In view of the vital differences be-.
tween the two classes of beings.
| Another disease common to men and
some animals is smallpox. In this case
there seems to be more difference be-
tween the disease in man-smallpox,
and that in acknowledgements and
horsepox. Yet that the two affections
are closely related is shown by the
protection against smallpox that is af-
forded us by incubation with cowpox,
or vaccination.
Diphtheria and scarlet fever are
shared with us by various animals, and
it has been asserted by certain English
physicians that these diseases may be
conveyed to children in the milk from
is little. doubt that cats, rabbits and
perhaps other domestic animals can
acquire diphtheria from sick children,
( and can in turn transmit it to healthy
children.
The plague is disease common to
man, monkeys and rodents, and is so
equally shared by them that no one
knows whether it was primarily hui
man disease or rat pest.
Among the diseases belonging espe-
clally to animals, but which may also
be contracted by men, are hydrophobia,
anthrax or malignant pustule, CLAN
'ders and t-and-mouth disease.
=: Some of the parasitic skin diseases
are also transmissible from men to ami
mails, and the reverse. A very common
example of this is ringwor1n, which is
not infrequently introduced among the
children Of family by the cat
THE FLY SETTLED THE QUESTION.
- At a recent meeting of the Entono-
logical Society, in London the presi-.
dent, Mr.. G.. H.Verrall, told an amusing
story to prove that knowledge of in
sects may even be useful in settling
questions in literary history: Common
tators on the works of Robert Louis
Stevenson were trying in vain to dis
cover whether the notes made by him
in certain book were written before
or after he~took up his residence in
Samoa. 1t happened that a fly had
, been squeezed between the pages, and
when Mr.. Verrall saw it, he instantly
recognized it as belonging to a species
peculiar to the Polynesian islands.
That settled the question.

CONTRAST BETWEEN THE POLES.

1e-1'oH
Mr.. Arctowski, the geologist of the
Antarctic expedition in the steamer
-Belgica, calls attention to the difference
in the distribution Of ice around the
two poles of the earth. The floating
ice of the north, he says, comes from
true glaciers which are pushed down
through valleys until they reach the
water, but the glacial caps themselves
do not meet the sea. At the south, on
the. contrary, perpetual snow is en-
countered at the 65th degree Of lati-
tude, and it is probable that the float
ing ice of the antarctic originates from
a layer covering the whole polar
crown. ~ ST. #-.& &%&s --.sT5 :.

While quarters were being prepared

smell from the kitchen was very appe-
thing to hungry pachyderm. and one
day a gentle tap came on the kitchen
window. The chef paid no attention
and in a few minutes the tap was re-
peated, louder than before. This sum-
mons also passed unnoticed, but the
next one that came could not be mis-
understood. The end of the kitchen
was built Of thin boards, and the first
thing the cook knew his pots and pans
were flying about the kitchen. The

partition with tremendous blows. The
