The digestive tube is filled with fer
ments capable of attacking, Of destroy
ing and of transforming the food with
which they come in contact. but these
ferments attack neither the walls OF the
intestines nor the parasites which often
live in abundance on these walls, says
Public Opinion. What causes this con-
dition? The question has often been
discussed and now the researches OF M.
E. Weinland on the tryptic ferment
again bring the matter forward.
In 1891 Frenzel stated that he believed
the protection enjoyed by the intes-
tines was due to the antiferments which
are secreted by the living tissues. An
experiment of NJ Weinland along this
line is very interesting. A mixture was
made of fibrine and OF trypsine or OF
pepsin and the whole was placed to d.
gest after little juice Of ascaris was
added No digestion occurred. The ex-
pertinent may be prolonged indefinitely,
but the ferment does not attack the
fbrine when the anti-ferment is pres
ent Thus it 10 not the living tissues
which resist digestion, but the juices
which impregnate them and which they
sscrets.

hundreds Of feet deep, it was necessary
to lower all material from the top OF
the cliffs by wire cables. The whole
stupendous task was made possible only
by the liberal use Of the "V switch or
"switchback." In one instance OF the
Peruvian railroad 1t was found neees-
sary to construct a switchback in the
side Of the mountain, the train heading
in on the lower level and backing out
through an upper tannel almost exact

road. when completed. was $43 900 600,

most costly roads in the world.

The Chrysanthemum h

Cultivation Of the chrysanthemum in
China may be traced back to a very
early date. Already in the eleventh
century two strains were cultivated, the
one bearing yellow ray flowers and the
other white. DR.. Henry, who has col
lected specimens now in the herbarium
at Kew, England, believes that two wild
plants are the progenitors of all the
cultivated strains. The yellow flower is
found throughout China and Japan. The
white flower comes originally from
Hupeh, China.

swHY OYSTERS ARE WEAK

A gentleman in answer to correspon-
dent Of an exchange who claims the weak
condition of the oyster is due to the effect
OF the ice, as they need air. The gentle
man gives the following solution to the
much mooted question: 81 have spent
the most of my life on the water, and
have given the propagation and culture
of oysters quite study. The reason
that oysters become weak and great
many die is on account of the fresh water.
When the ice breaks up the fresh
water follows the channel, where the tide
runs the strongest, and the oysters drink
30 much of the fresh water that it swells
them up and they become very weak and
q great many die. Those that recover re-
quire some time before they get their
natural taste. II it was the ice being over
them, why is it that it does not effect the
oysters in shallow water? 1t is the fresh
water that follows the channel of the
river that does the harm to the oysters,
and not being covered with ice.
