Underneath the tarantula the wasp digs

sufficient to keep the young wasps in food

DANGER IN POISON IVY.
How to Know the P1ant-Simple Rem.

From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune,
In speaking the other day of the trip to
the Pacific coast made by President McKin-
ley. a Californian said that several mem
bers of the party were made extremely un-
comfortable at Santa Cruz because they
touched the poison Ivy on some of the big
trees
IF one knows how the Rhus toxicoden-
dron-that is the scientific name for the
ivy-looks," said the man Of the woods, he
can avoid 1t with ease. 1t is sometimes a
low shrub about foot high, and 1t Is also
a graceful vine, with stout, hairy stems
This vine sends out horizontal branches
The bush and the vine do not look alike
but both have coarse-toothed, oval-pointed
leaves. These are always three In a group
and at this season the plant also bears
small greenish white berries"
Poison oat, otherwise Rhus radicans and
poison sumach, or Rhus vinenta, are other
plants to be avoided by visitors to the
woods. The sumach has groups of four
leaflets oval pointed in form. arranged on
tapering stem. 1t differs from the real
sumach in so far that its leaflets incline up
ward. In the autumn the foliage Is q bril-
liant scarlet. The little berries look like
graysh white grapes
good antidote for Ivy poisoning in its
first stages is a solution of ordinary baking

Calculation Of Horsepower.

From the Motor World.
On the last day Of the automobile congress-
at Dijon, France. Count Chasseloup- Loubet
read interesting paper devoted to the
question Of the calculation Of the horse
power Of explosion engines and this in con-
nection with the taxation Of motor cara
The question which the count speciallv
was whether the horsepower taxed should
be calculated from the fywheel of the
motor or as from the road wheels and ~
was pointed out by the count that it would
be much more reasonable to base the taxa
ton on the horsepower developed BY the
motor, for in this case announcement would
be given to the constructor who obtained
the best result. whereas in the methods at
present adopted out Of two cars giving off
five horsepower on the road wheels one
may be taxed for a twelve horsepower en-
CINE and the other for a seven horsepower.
With regard to the measurement of the
horsepower Of explosion engines, the count
pointed out that cylinder measurements are
absolutely fictitious, for the following rea-
sons: % More or less speed can be got out
Of similar engines according to the weight
OF the valves or the springs which work
the valves, by varying the length Of the pis-
ton and by varying the cooling surface of
the explosion; ca by varying the compress
sion; (3) by varying the carburation; "a
by varying the rapidity with which the ex-
haust gases are got rid of; 90 by more or
less expansion; go by more or less rapid
cooling OF the cylinder; 60 by varying the
ignition. and 90 by varying the weight of
the fywheel.

The circumstances which caused a town

Although grim Arctic winter was setting

The general plan of procedure was to wait
until after they had fallen asleep and then
employ uniform means to awaken them.
For this purpose an instrument was used
called an esthesiometer. 1t was made up
of a blunt point that might be pressed
against the skin, spiral spring and care
fully graduated scale, which showed the
degrees of pressure used. The point was
applied gently to the seeper's left temple
and pressed until he awoke, then the scale
was examined and notes were made OF the
hour and minute and of the scale reading.
The same person was not Wakened more
than once or twice a night, but the expert

a few months they covered the whole eight

intervals at ten or fifteen minutes several
times over.

they slept more profoundly than healthy
subjects and In one person the unconscious

almost as marked as at an hour and half.

FALLS FROM ToPMAsT HEAD.
Halifax Sailor Pulls Himself Together
and Resumes Work.
From the Halifax Evening MAJ

From the Halifax Evening Mail.
Away up on the topmast head of the
schooner F. B. Wade, George Jacques sat
in his chair rope yesterday afternoon, oiling
his mast and occasionally looking down
upon a group of interested spectators. A
distance of ninety-one feet, actual measure
ment, separated him from the hard pine
deck of the vessel. He had no giddy head,
he had gone aloft before. The weather was
gloriously fine. The water was calm, moved
only by the swell that came from the ocean,
and Jacques rocked in his chair away up
in the dizzy height. The F. B. Wade was
at the wharf of A. G. Jones & Co. The
steamer Olivette was at the adjoining pier
Her passengers for Boston were about to
get aboard and the vessel was preparing
to sail. Scores Of those on board watched
jacques, from the deck Of the vessel He
was far up and the topmast, from which
his bos'ns chair was suspended, swayed to
and fro. Horrors! exclaimed a passenger on
the Olivette as the rope holding the chair
slipped and a shudder went through the
crowd when they saw Jacques drop.
Down he shot to the deck His BODY
struck one of the stays which broke his fall
somewhat. jacques turned almost a somer-
sault and landed his head and arm ON
the hard deck. Was he dead? Sure. ex-
claimed the passengers on the Olivette Ger

pick up the PROSTATE form. Jacques was
not dead He was stunned. The side of his
head was locked in his bent-up arm. Not
withstanding the descent from topmast to
the deck took but an instant as 1t
were, yet the sailor had the presence of
mind to protect his head as much as posi-
BILE with his arm.
1t was one:bf the most marvellous escapes
from instant death on record. Mate John
Fitzpatrick of the F. B. Wade, and a Gus
toms officer, were surprised to find jacques
conscious and able to talk. The sailor was
soon able to walk. He coolly thanked those
who had assisted him, and then obtained
a mop and bucket of water and washed
the blood stains from the deck Later he
relished his supper, and this morning found
him on deck again working. His escape
from death was certainly miraculous
