AMBlDExTERoUs PEOPLE.
Persons Possessed of Power to Write with Either Hand Declare It
 Highly-Prized Faculty.

Gen. Baden-Powell has long been able to write and draw with either hand with equal facility. During some maneuvers which took place when his right arm was useless owing to the bite of dog, he wrote and illustrated his daily reports entirely with his left hand
 Sir Walter Parratt, organist of St Georges chapel Windsor, can accom- pany a full choral service with his left hand and his feet, and write letter at the same time with his right hand.
 Conjurers and jugglers must, be able to depend upon the left hand as much as upon te right.
 All who possess ambidextral power declare it to be most highly-prizeo faculty.
 The Japanese appear to be the most ambidextrous nation in these days. though many orientals are able to use either hand with impartiality.
 The shah of Persia signs his name with either left or right hand; artisans in the east are frequently able to work with either hand with equal skill, ana they also bring both right and left feet to their aid.

NERVOUSNESS OF WOMEN.
eral Stronger Than Ever Before

Women of the present day are said to be more nervous than women at any previous period This of course is largely the opinion of pessimists ex- pressed in an exaggerated manner, says the London Daily Express. Undoubted- ly the woman of to-day suffers from nerves" But this has always been common complaint among women at all times. The last generation was neu- rotic, other generations had insistently convenient attacks of "megrims.'
 Thepessimist never wearies of enlarg- ing upon the strain and stress of mod ern life, the rush of travel, the restless ness of great social centers, the fncessant poaching on the hours of the night. the eternal increase in the number of work Ing women. Yet in reality if the strain Dn women be greater than ever, the fact that they are able to endure 1t proves an increase in nervous power rather than a decrease. The woman who works for her living to-day has far stronger nerves than her predecessors ever possessed. She stands the strain year in and year out; the women of few generations ago could not have stood it for month. It is also futile to point to the rush of modern travel as a nerve-destroying force. At the present day there is less nervous waste in crossing continent than there was a hundred years ago in A journey from London to Bath in ths

does not eat mulberry leaves), were fed on leaves of the troene, 8 tree of the olive family Gigustrum sp.). These leaves were dipped in 8 solution of picric acid. The well-known toxic qualities of that coloring matter did not prevent it from being eaten, but the worms did not relish it keenly and made no cocoons until Septem- bet A. Notwithstanding the color ing power of picrio acid the silk re- mained white.
 Thus we see that the neutral red passes easily by osmosis through the tissues, while methylene blue passes with difficulty, and picric acid leaves no trace of color.
 From the investigations and experi- ments made, it is inferred that color ing matter may be passed from the di- gestive tube through the blood upon the silk. The coloring matter possesses in a different degree the power to cross by osmosis the tissues of silkworms and each race of silkworms is charac- terized by the osmotic power of it's tis- sues in relation to different coloring matters, permitting the passage of some to the exclusion of others This explains the natural coloring of the Lepidoptera.

Boat Unloading Record Broken.

The worlds record for boat unload ing was recently broken at Conneaut, says the Toledo Blade. The Wolvin, the largest freighter on fresh water, was emptied of cargo of 9,945 tons of iron ore in four and a half hours, reducing by six hours the best record heretofore made. The total delay from the beginning to the end of the unload ing did not exceed five minutes. One by one eight monstrous hoisting ma chimes were transferred in turn to the thirty-three cargo matches of the Wol- win, while vast audience watched the proceeding from the adjacent docks. Not that the unloading of big boats Is rare at Conneaut. It is today the fore most ore port of the world, it's ore re ceipts for July being 7s6,554 tons, nearly 100000 more than were ever re ceived before, and this despite the fact that the movement of ore generally this year has not been as heavy as was expected early ipethe season.

 Some of the leaves the worms fed upon were colored slight red and the worms ate them as they eat ordinary leaves in a natural condition. They grew and developed as if fed on com mon mulberry leaves. The general color of their bodies became a dark red and the blood extracted from them was of an intense red.

 The worms selected from the lot at the fourth moulting (July 23) were fed on colored leaves only during the. fifth period of life,. and they rendered on August 10, cocoons as red as those of the first lot, in which the worms had been fed on colored leaves during the entire larvaI period. The absorption of red during the last period is there fore necessary and sufficient to color the silk.
 A fourth lot was composed of worms fed on methylene blue They ate this with less avidity; and a number, in their effortl to escape this food, fell from the bianches and were lost. They formed their cocoons slowly and rem dered but little silk, which was of a slightly b1uish color.
