divers and sundry other injuries. The

but the hand was still in bad way

The household of Mrs. Nellie Samp-
son, of 1888 Eddy street, East Daven-
port, is very thankful that it was no
worse. a young son of the family
came near being lost in the flood of
Monday. The house stands near the
creek that comes down through that
part of the city, passing under East
River street and some adjacent pro-
perty by means of a culvert, and so on
to the river. When the water was
about at its highest in consequence of
the deluge the lad in question acct
dentally slipped or fell into the creek.
He was washed down with the raging
current, taken through the sewer, and
out into the river. His fall had been
seen, or his cries heard, as he was
whirled along, and by the time he got
to the open water of the Mississippi
men were there with a skiff, and he
was caught and hauled to the shore.

The Red Lobster.

The question is often asked, says the
Lancet, without Il satisfactory answer
being supplied, Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawns turn red
on boiling: One reason may be that
the black pigment of the lobster is an
iron compound in the lower state of
oxidation, which boiling oNidizes to
the higher state. Red human hair is
said to- owe its briliance to iron exist
ing in the higher oXidzed state, and
by means of reducing agents, such as
pyrogallic acid or nutgall, the color
may be modified. In short, oxygen is
a great painter and probably accounts
for the beautiful autumnal tints of
plant life.
