The Eucalyptus Tree.

From the London Chronicle.
There are few persons who are not ia
milhar with the eucalyptus or blue gum
tree Of Tasmania In the abstract at least,
or. to put the matter chemically, in the
form Of the extract, the Oil and other prep
arations of the plant. During an influenza
epidemic the odor OF eucalyptus prevails In
the Land because OF the idea that in one
way or another 1t acts as a preventive of
attack There Is not much or any evidence
to support this notion. The principle of
eucalyptus has antiseptic properties, no
doubt, but that 1t Is to be relied upon as a
germicide, capable Of disposing OF microbes
wholesale, is an idea which modern bac-
teriology does not countenance. The blue
gum tree has been also credited with the
power Of abolishing malaria in districts In
which it Is planted. The explanation Of its
alleged properties IN this direction was
founded on the theory that the aromatic
carnations from Its leaves passing into the
air dlsinfected the atmosphere, 20 to speak.
and thereby rendered malarial troubles nom
existent. Here, again. We are face to face
with the idea Of the germicidal powers OF
the gum tree. for which we can find nobody
to vouch. The more sober scientific notion
Of the influence of the eucalyptus In malari-
Gus places is that II consumes much water,
and blue gum tree plantations in this way
may therefore really abolish the dampness
through the media Of their roots

SMOKE Is WASTE.
Economic Loss In Escape Of Carbon,
Grease and Ash.

From American Medicine.
The money loss from unburned smoke
may be estimated from an experiment made
in Manchester, England, last February. At
a point about three miles from the center
Of the city a sample Of snow. which had
been lying on the ground for ten days. was
melted and the dry residue weighed and
analysed 1t was found to be equivalent to
something over ten pounds to the acre. and
consisted OF 4S.8 per cent carbon. go per
cent grease, and 44.5 per cent ash. Another
sample taken from near the center Of the
city showed about three times the amount
mentioned. or nearly one ton Of SCOT per
square mile per day. The grease mixed
with the SCOT makes II stick to the buildings
or whatever else it falls upon.
In Chicago the Edison Company, recog-
nizing that smoke is horsepower going up
the chimney" has appropriated $4,000 to
carry out plans to save some Of tho loss
1t sustains in this way. In London the Coal
Smoke Abatement Society Is making an
inquiry concerning domestic CRATES which
promises to yield valuable results. AL
though financial self-interest should spur
on the reform, it is generally found that
law and governmental regulation are re-
quired to bring about reform. Why do not
the American women's clubs take up the

function as to national housekeeping and
public health They have the time and the
ability to bring the nuisance to an end.

BELIEF OF PEASANTS.
Think Their National Heroes Are Not
Dead, but Sleeping.

From the London Chronicle.
Is there any race that has not its sleeping
hero? A correspondent recently pointed out
that the time for the fulfillment Of the
prophecy that the tenth avatar of Krishna
will restore to India her independence Is
near at hand. and every nation has some
such savior to whom the people look. West
country rustics still believe that Arthur
did not die, but sleeps in Avalon. and that
in the hour of Britain's need he will awake
deliver the land and restore the golden age.
In Germany 1t is a popular belief that
Charles will some day wake from his
enchanted sleep to reign over Germany,
Spain. Portugal, Denmark, Belgium and
Holland. Thousands Of French peasants
hold that Napoleon is only sleeping. and
that at some future time he will reappear
and rule. And Mr.. Newbolt has enshrined
ing for the drum.
The Irish peasantry steadfastly refuse to
believe that Mr.. Parnell Is really dead
They assert that his death was q ruse, that
he was an interested spectator Of his own
funeral and that when the time comes he
will emerge from retirement to give Ire
land her Independence. Many Irish. indeed
firmly believe that De Wet is none other
than Charles Stewart Parnell. Every true
MOslem believes that when Antichrist ap-
pears Mohammed Mohadi will awake and
conquer him; A Moorish legend declares
near the Alhambra, and that one day he
will awake to re-establish the Moors as
rulers Of Granada. The Servians look to
King Lager slain by the Turks in 1880. as
their final hope. and should Switzerland DO
again threatened by tyrants Swiss folk lore
declares that the three members Of the Tell
family who are sleeping at Rutili. near the
Vierwald- Staten-See, will rise from their
enchanted slumber and maintain the free
dom Of the land.

Bird Notes.
From the Chicago News.

from tne Chicag0 news.
- Cuckoos are birds whose actions are a
standing puzzle to naturalists As is well
known. the cuckoo lays its eggs in the nests
Of other birds. When they hatch the
young cuckoos throw ont the young Of
other species and get all the attentions Of
the old birds for themselves. Recent ex-
periments show that the instructive desire
of the young bird to eject Its foster brothers
from the nest Is much stronger than has
been believed. Two cuckoo eggs were placed
in the same nest. and the fight that en-
sued after the chicks were Matched reads
like an account Of champions wrestling.
The instinct is most singular one and
was manifested before the birds were twen-
ty hours old. PrOverbial early rising by
the lark. expressed in the phrase. .sup with
the lark, Is denied by an eminent ornithol-
ogtst. who claims that whereas the green-
finch Is up at 2 o'clock in the morning in
summer. the blackbird at and the hedge
row sparrow half an hour later, the lark
does not appear until after 3.

DANGER IN PETS.
Parrots Responsible for Spread Of a
Fatal Disease.

From American Medicine.
The newspapers have published the In
teresting details Of prominent society wo-
mans display Of affection for her dying and
dead parrot. There was even question, 1t
seems. OF an expensive funeral with many
Of the accessories usually accorded to those
higher in the scale Of being. The parrot is
said to have died Of a severe throat dis
ease. Owing to the swollen and infiamed
condition Of the birds throat it was una
bic to talk and seems also to have been I'M
able to swallow. Notwithstanding this TIE
family are said to have bestowed many
caresses upon the ailing bird.
1t may be as well to remind foolish in
dividuals whose affections are so perverted
that there Is a very contagious disease
which attacks especially the throats Of
sions has been communicated to human be-
1ngs with serious and even fatal results.
This disease, called psittacosis, from the
Greek work for parrot. was first studied
about five years ago in Paris during an cpl
demic that developed in that city and was
for long time a mystery to attending ply
sicians. Altogether about sixty human be-
ings were attacked by the disease during
one winter and Of these about 40 per cent
died. 1t Is very probable that pet animals
are vehicles for the distribution Of a good
many more diseases than has been thought.
Disease germs very seldom travel through
the air, though this Is popularity supposed
to be the usual method of conveyance OF
microbes.
Flies, mosquitoes. birds. pet animals of
various kinds. are undoubtedly quite often
the medium of contagion. The more is
known of the biology Of disease germs aud
of the intermediate host between man and
man the more it Is realized that usually lv-
Ing things and not inanimate objects are
the carriers of infectious material. Some
time we will reach a stage of civilization In
which 1t will be realized that wild extrem-
ism in making pets Of animals, denatural-
ling their lives and making them liable to
all the Ills of humanity besides their own,
is relic of savagery and Is too often
manifestation of that barbaric selfishness
of spirit that delights in slaves. When this
bit Of unthinking primevality Is done away
with we shall have less Of the morbid spirit
that fosters antivivisection and similar
movements.

Treatment Of Prisoners.
From the London Chronlcls.

From the London Chronic6s
Newgate prisoners were supplied by the
sheriffs of London with pound of beef,
potatoes. white bread and a pint of the
best ale, while those undergoing solitary
confinement were allowed to associate with
the other prisoners for q short time More
fortunate still were those confined in the
Marshalsea prison-pulled down in 1872
for they had the choice of four pounds Of
beef. veal. mutton or lamb. besides a half
quartern loaf. and a quart of strong ale
Debtors. in the Fleet pEisen-pulled down in
1845-were treated by the warden, and each
was allowed gallon of porter to himself:
while residents In the Queens Bench prison
enjoyed roast beef and plum pudding. The
many inmates of Bridewell-which retains
only few cells for refractory apprentices
since 1S64-were not only allowed special
food. but had days holiday from their
usual hard labor.

From the London Chronicle,

There threatens to be something like an
electric light famine on June 26 and q
within ths area Of the illuminations. The
number Of lamps that have been installed
for decorative purposes Is extraordinary,
and It is to be feared that their candle
power will not be altogether up to the
standard when they are all turned on. For
this reason many Of the more conservative
firms in London are contenting themselves
with devices in gas, and so much improve
ment has been made in this direction Of re-
cent years that they win be little, II any,
