Where Pure Air is Found,
rom the London Chronicle.


The chemical composition of the atmos-
phere differs little, IL at all, wherever the
sample be taken; whether il be on the high
Alps or at the surface of the sea the rela-
ton OF oxygen to nitrogen and other con-
stituents Is the same. The favorable ef-
fects. therefore. Of a change of air are not
to be explained by any difference in the
proportion of its gaseous constituents. One
important difference, however; is the bac-
THEOLOGICAL one. The air of high attitudes
contains no microbes, and is, in fact ster-
lie, while near the ground and some 100
feet above It microbes are abundant. In
the air Of towns and crowded places not
only does the microbic impurity increase,
but other impurities. such the products
of combustion of coal, accrue also. Sew
eral investigators have found traces of
hydrogen and certain hydrocarbons in the
air and especially in the air Of pine, oak
doubtless, consisting OF traces of essential
oils, to which the curative properties of
certain health resorts are ascribed.
Thus the locality Of a fir forest is said to
give relief in diseases of the respiratory
tract. But, all the same, these traces of
essential oil and aromatic products must
be counted. strictly speaking, as impure
ties, since they are not necessary constitu-
ents of the air. As recent analyses have
shown. these bodies tend to disappear In
the air as a higher altitude is reached, I'M
til they disappear altogether. II would
seem, therefore, that microbe. hydrocar-
bons and entities other than oxygen and
nitrogen and, perhaps, We should add ar
gon, are only incidental to the neighbor-
hood of human industry, animal life damp
and vegetation.

ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Strange but True Attachments and
Genuine PIatOnic COmradeshiPs.
from the london News.


Every one is familiar with many anec-
dotes illustrating the strong affection that
animals are capable of displaying toward
one another. In the great majority OF
quoted cases. however, this affection is
result of the sexual or the parental instinct
For love Of a mate or Of offspring there is
scarcely an animal that will not display
courage and sohcitude to the point OF self
sacrifice when the occasion demands II.
What is not so familiar Is the fact that
friendship and good comradeship, leading
10 acts Of the most dislnterested kindness,
are frequently displayed among animals
even among very lowly specieS-quite apart
from either the sexual or the parental in
stlncts- II Is an undoubted fact that many
of the lower creatures are capable IN d
very high degree of this feeling OF COM
radeship. and of displaying much courage
and devotion in the exercise of IL.
The weli-known fact OF the adoption OF
orphans by adult monkeys may. perhaps, be
ciassed as only transfer of parental affec-
ton. but IT Is interesting to note in this
connection. Similarly, the authenticated
cases Of parrots dying for loss Of their
mates. the instance. given by DIR. Butler in
his Birds of New Zealand" of a female
King I.ory which "fretted and -moped, re-
fused her food and died OF a broken heart
when the male was killed, and the incident
noted by Mr.. Bennett OF pair OF teals
which were separated and moped for weeks,
although courted by others. until they were
paired again after month, and spent days
In the exhibition1of extreme joy at recover
ing one another all come within the range
OF sexual explanation.
One Of the most interesting manifesto
lions of friendship among animals, apart
from sexual affection. is that displayed by
species which take of infirm and dis
abed comrades. Mr.. Buxton gives an in
stance OF a wild parrot taking care of a
frostbitten and crippled bird of distinct
species. and the cleaning her
feathers for her, providing her with food
and defending her from attack. A similar
concern for the blind has often been no
ticed. Capt Stansbury relates that he OBJ
served in Utah an ofd and blind and very
fat pelican, which was being carefully
tended by several others, and had evidently,
by its condition, been SO tended for a long
time. Mr.. Blyth tells us that he has seen
Indian crows feeding the blind IN similar
way. and Darwin observed the same con-
duct in the case OF ordinary domestic cocks

These cases are especially interesting be-
cause it seems to be generally thought that
all animals treat old and infirm members OF
their species with what we should regard
as the utmost rigor OF cruelty.
A very notable illustration Of comrade-
ship among animals Is that related by
Brehm, In his Abyssinian travels. His
party came across troop of balloons
crossing valley. All of them got away
from the travellers except one small and
rather weakly male which climbed a block
of rocks and sat bowling, surrounded By
dogs. Before the travellers had time to
get up an old male charged down the val
ley side, dispersed the dogs, and rescued
its comrade. bearing him off with a howl of
triumph. Darwin, quoting this incident,
calls the baboon a true hero" descrip-
ton thoroughly well deserved. If the ba-
boons have anything corresponding to the
Victoria Cross this brave creature GER
tainly earned II.
Among ants there is evidently a very
strong feeling of friendship. Pierre Huber,
in his "Recherches sur les Moeurs des
Fourmis, gives some striking illustrations
of this. He separated colonies of ants into
groups, and when, after four months,
groups which had formerly belonged to
the same community met each other there
was a regular festival of recognition. The
delighted insects played about, caressIng
each other with their antennae and exhib-
fting every sign of rejoicing. Four months
seems long time for insects to retain the
memory of old friendships. Strangers
fought on meeting. In the general fighting
that often takes place between rival ant
communities 1t often happens that two
from the same community will inadvertent-
ly attack one another. They instantly per-
ceive their mistake and 1t Is highly anus
ing to Observe them soothing one another
with the utmost solieitude.
Snails are about the last crea lures among
whom one would look for examples of COM
radeship, but they have been known to
exhibit It to a strong degree. Mr.. Ions
dale tells us that he observed two land
snails In small, stony and nl-provided
garden. One was a weakly creature. At
ter foraging about without satisfactory re-
suits, the healthy snail left his comrade
and vanished over the wall into we'll
stocked garden on the other side, while
the weakly one crouched mp and waited.
After some hours the traveller returned
over the wall with his report of good things
on the other side. and the Two together set
out and disappeared in company over the
barrier.
There are MANS examples of disintarested
anectfon between creatures of widely sep
arated species. often in violation of their
wild instincts of hostility. Audubon has
told us how on one occasion he kept a

Not Larger Than Usual. hut Boats'
Position Makes Them Appear So.
From the New York Times.
One does not hear. nowadays when n
steamer has an experience like that of the
Teutonic on her last voyage over quite so
much talk about tidal waves. as always
resulted from such episodes few years
ago, but even now there seems to be a very
general misrepresentation as to what hap
pens in these cases, and a still more gen.
eral misrepresentation as to why it happens.
In reality it is hardly more exact to speak
of giant waves than of tidal waves"
for, though the waves in any given series
differ appreciably in size, the difference As
rarely, IL ever, enough even to begin to ac-
count for the damage that one particular
wave among the many harmless ones often
does. The officers on the bridge OF the
Teutonic, despite the sharp watch ahead
which they were doubtless keeping, saw no
notable aggregation of water approaching
them, and the reason they did not was that
there was none to see. What they did no
tice was a lively sea, with the usual varia-
lions in the distance between its elevations
and depressions Then the vessels stem
CHANGED to strike one of the larger waves
just at the instant when the stern. CHANGED
TO be raised by another larger wave, and
as a natural consequence lot of water
came aboard. But it didn't rush aft as
most of the accounts say. The water COM
pristng a wave has no horizontal motion,
though the form of the wave has, and what
rushing aft there was, beyond the not
very fierce inclination of the shipped sea to
find its level on the decks, was altogether
due to the rushing forward of the steamer.
The Teutonics speed in ordinary weather
averages somewhere i'm the neighhorhood
of eighteen knots, and with a vessel mov-
Ing at that rate Il large mass of water,
though dropped straight downward on her
forward section, reaches the stern, or some
intermediate obstruction, in a very minute
period. The motion is in most part only
apparent, but the effects are the same as
though the water moved instead of the
ship, and the consequences to passengers
and deck structures, while often serious.
are not in the slightest degree mysterious.
Giant waves, like tidal waves" are
only encountered by vessels driven rapidly
into a head sea, and whenever such driving
is done the experienced passenger will carry
himself cautiously, though the deck may
have been dry for hours and the sea no
higher than before. Such passengers know,
do all the sailormen on board, that IL
ship and sea happen to assume certain rel
ative positions wave that otherwise would

prosperous city. There are big warehouses;
the business section is crowded with heavy
drays, and these drays by the way, are
drawn by as fine lot of mules as you
will find in the whole world. Hotels are
plentiful and pretty well kept. There are
numbers Of fine stores filled with the best
goods. Obispo street, the main shopping
thoroughfare, Is very narrow street with
sidewalks only q couple of feet wide and
for nearly it's whole length covered by
awnings running from one side of the
street to the other. This little narrow al
ley-like street, however, Is crowded with
fine stores and dazzling displays.
The city market takes up an entire
square, with stores around the exterior and
the market proper in the interior behind
the stores. There YOU find splendid dis
and any number Of kinds of fruit that you
don't know the names of and couldn't re-
member If you were told.
There are several big theaters In the
city. The Tacon has q seating capacity of
5000, with little or no characterization, the
theater being built on the European style,
with tiers Of boxes and bare galleries. The
stage and orchestra floor are on the same
level, as one of the main uses of the the
ater is for balls. The Maru Theater Is
another good-sizedi structure, and it is
here that the constitutional convention
has been meeting. This theater was built
and takes its name from very famous old
freebooter and pirate, who afterward re-
formed and became one of the richest and
most respected citizens Of Havana.
Since the American occupation a large
number of asphalt pavements have been
laid through the city. These are all right
on the outer streets, but 1t Is curious to
note in the business section that there is
depression or gutter running right along
the middle of these narrow streets. This
comes from the fact that the drays which
are loaded more heavily than any you will
find elsewhere in the world, going in both
directions have one Of their wheels In the
middle Of the street and the asphalt nave
ments have not been strong enough to sas-
tain the constant weight. and as result
there has been sinking along this center
line. The authorities win find here, as
