1t would be difficult to name any
achievement of medical science which
contains more of the picturesque or APP
peals more powerfully to the magma
ton than the discovery that two of the
commonest species of mosquitoes are
responsible, the one for the spread of
malaria, the other for the dissemina-
ton of yellow fever. Here are two
members of a family long known to be
somewhat troublesome and disagree
able, but usually regarded as nothing
more than a common nuisance, un-
worthy of any very serious attention.
Meantime, however mysterious and ter
rible crimes occur. Here man is
bound and tortured, there whole fam
lily is murdered, an entire community
wiped out; and the assassins always
succeed in concealing their identity
and making good their escape. But
the patient detectives - work on the
case pick up one clue here and another
there, until at last the eyes of the COM
munity are opened, and it sees that the
two insignificant and despised crea-
lures who have been coming and going
almost unnoticed are in reality the
great criminals for whom the whole
world has been searching. When such T.
case is made out against human of
tenders, justice is prompt. Sanitary
science is proceeding with equal ener-
gy against the two guilty members of
the mosquito family.

Deep Sen SIP, cimens.

Even in the tropics, the temperature
of the water at the bottom of the ocean
is only about 40 degrees Fahrenheit,
and it does not vary at all from sum-
mer to winter, says Parsons Maya
zine. 1t follows, then, that the abys-
sal fishes, though residing in the neigh
borhood of the equator, are accustcm-
ed to an Arctic climate, and, being sud
denly exposed to a warm atmosphere,
they quickly decompose. Thus it is
very difficult to preserve them, and, in
order to accomplish this, the tanks of
spirits into which they are put are
surrounded with ice, while the more
delicate inyertebrate specimens are
placed in a cold room while absorbing
the alcohol. The fishes are inj cted
with alcohol by means of hypodermic
syringe, and so likewise are large
shrimps and crabs. Deep-sea star
fishes, sea urchins, and small corals are
first soaked in alcohol and then dr.. ed;
large corals are sprayed with alcohol
and packed in salt; jellyfshes are
hardened in a solution of picric acid,
wrapped in cheesecloth and kept in
strong alcohol.

poem. But this sort of feud between
verse writer's and musicians, is about
to be done away with, so it is pro-
claimed by the minor poets of young
Ireland" who promise a consequent
boom in Irish verse. The theory is
that Irish poetry. minor or major, re-
quires musical accompaniment to give
it it's full flavor, but when the music
rises to the dignity of a tune the poet
ny becomes too subordinate. Hence a
new species Of music has been specially
invented to accompany Irish verse, and
a conversaz' one has been held at which
some of the new music has been per-
formed. 1t is called cantilating, and
consists of a long-drawn moaning,
which is something between a chant
and q monotone, and the melancholy
of the music is said to be beyond any
thing ever heard before. Though 1t
comes forward as a new mode, canti-
lating is in reality as old as the Greeks,
with the difference that while Greek
music went by certain fixed rules, can
tilating is left to the sweet will of the
observation-disclosures Globe.

the rank of lieutenant, but was soon
transferred to the firing line and for
two years saw much hard fighting un-
der General Gomez, participating in
many filibustering expeditions. He
was twice captured by the Spaniards,
once being confined until he was physi-
cally FRUSTRATED. Ill health compelled
him to resign and he left the Cuban
army with the rank Of captain and
brevet major. When the war with
Spain broke out Major Fayling raised
the first company from Ohio at his own
expense and offered it to the govern
ment. He was elected captain of his
company. but saw no fighting.
At the time of the food Major Fay
ling had been the southern agent of
New York corporation with headquar-
tiers in Galveston. When Galveston
was placed under martial law he be-
came its sole governor for the time
being.
OF the forty-three persons whom Ma
ior Fayling personally rescued, al
were saved by hard swimming or wad-
ing out into the water. When the storm
broke Major Fayling had gone down
to the beach to get view Of the sea.
AS the hurricane increased in fury he
started to return to his office He found
that he had to swim and wade ia an
average of five feet of water, and was
kept busy lodging live wires. 1t was
almost impossible to stand against the
wind. Reaching his Office he threw off
his clothing, and putting on a bathing
suit was ready for work.
An exciting episode of that night WIS
when fifteen tramps and negroes stray
ed into a building in which the major
had placed some women and child. en-
whom he had rescued. The gang
planned to steal the boat in which Ma
jor Fayling purposed to convey the
refugees to a place of safety. Major
Fayling had a six-shooter and Win
chester at hand and placed the gang
under arrest, stationing his servant
over them as a guard. He later did
good work in hunting out the ghouls
who were mutilating human bodies to
obtain jewelry and valuables. and it
was at his orders that many OF these
were executed under martial law.

the rocks at the side of the glacisr,
hoping to do so before the avalanche
should sweep them away. Through the
knee-deep snow they ran for Their

being struck with the idea that it

us imagine that We had gained on it;
and the next, with mere wantonness OF
vindictive power, it suddenly rolled
out vast volume of grinding blocks

tirely concealing us from one another.
But still we were untouched, and still
we ran. Another half second, and the

An interesting discussion has been
begun as to the loss Of heat which re-
suits from taking a cold bath. An
elaborate series of tests undertaken in
London showed that very decided
rise of temperature occurred in the wa
ter of the bath, but that the tempera-
ture ala not continue to rise. The av-
erage time of experimentation was,
say, two minutes In one trial the ex-
perimenter found that his body heated
the water from so degrees Fahrenhe
to Sc degrees in two minutes. The av-
erage result OF the observations is that
one gallon of water would be heated
through SO degrees in one minute, and
that this corresponds to no less than
two and a half horse power. The OBJ
servers determined that the normally
healthy man gives off to the surround
ing air heat equivalent to the raising
of eight pounds of water 1 degree per
minute.
