Last Of the Troubadouls.

At Compostella there has just died
strange individual, half tramp, half musi-
clam, with certain dash of the poet
about him, who, even in land of Old
Wolld suryivals like Spain, may probably
be regarded as the very last of the trouba-
dours. His name was Adolf Garcia, and
he was native of Galicia. Equipped
With nothing but an old fiddle and a
great umbrella that served against either
sun or rain, and did service between
times as an alpenstock, he had roamed
through every province of Spain. Arriv-
me in town or village, lie looked out for
Youthful womanhood and wealth, and
then. placing himself under the windows,
played and sang the old. old theme of love
and chivalry. mostly to airs of his own
composing. The dittIes were not devoid
az Il certain refinement and delicacy. and
never failed to reach the hearts or the
nurses of the gentle maids who had been
selected for the serenadc.london Globe.

WATER ATTRACTS REPTILES.
Naturalist Werner Reports Results of
Observations.

Some surprising and noteworthy con
c.usions on this point have been reached
by a German naturalist. NJ. Werner of
Vienna, who has recently reported the
result of observations that he has been
making for some time on the senses OF
inferior vertebrates.
On certain points the conclusions Of NJ.
Werner are very surprising, and iii all
they are worthy of notice. NJ. Werner
has observed 1876 individuals, of which
one-third were at liberty, and he took all
possible precautions not 10 let the Great
lures know they We're watched. One
general fact is evident, that reptiles and
amphibians are strongly attracted by wa
ter. They go straight for il, even when
they are at a distance so great that they
could not divine its presence by any Of
the senses known TO us. Ii seems really
that sense of which we have no kuowi-
edge informs them of the direction In
which water may he found.
There seems TO be sort of chemical
attraction. says NJ. Werner. But how
does this act. and on what part of the
creature? This remains mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light. but indie
pendently of heat; they are positively
heliotropic, and in winter they often
leave comfortable and warm retreat 70
seek the sunlight. Sight is generally
finest sense they possess, but it would
still appear to be very limited. The
caymans and the crocodiles cam ct dis
tinguish a man at distance Of more
than six times their length, according to
NJ. Werner. In the water fishes see only
ut very close range-about half tier
own length This will seem perhaps I'M
likely to anglers. although some of them
can cite instances showing that fish can
not see far. Snakes seem 10 have 4
very mediocre sense of sight. The boa
for instance, does not see at more than
a quarter or a third of its own length
different species are limited To one-tifti
or ,Ae-eighth of their length. Frogs are
better off: they see at fifteen or twenty
times their length. Frog eatehers know
this from experience. Hearing is muei
poorer than sight, il possible. Nest
reptiles are noticeably deaf. except cay
mans and crocodiles; the boa appears /,

PAYING A SHIPS DOCTOR.
Uncertainty About the Proper Usage az
Sea Cleared Up

{ Ota OltdlcQ
4 correspondent of recent edition Of
LlOyd's Weekly has expressed the views
Of a ship doctor in the following words !:
MANY travellers are in doubt as to the
position of the ships doctor in regard to
/ bis remuneration from passengers for
services rendered. The merchant ship
ping act enacts that every foreign going
vessel having 100 pes0ns on board or up
ward shall carry on board as part Of
her complement Il duly qualified medical
practitioner. Furthermore, an emigrant
ship. e., a foreign going vessel which
carries nifty or more steerage passengers
must have a medical man. irrespective
of the number of crew or of other pas
SengerS carried. The salary of the doc
tor on board is commensurate with these
duties to his ship. TO any passengers

tIacted before sailing or during a v0y-
age which is not connected with the
above named conditions, he is entitled to
n remuneration at the same rate as he
would receive on shore. Obviously, il
would he as unfair To expect that his

dered gratis as il would be for any
visitor in Il hotel or traveller on Il rail
way to expect to have medical attend
ance free in any illness for which the
hotel or railway authorities could not BE-
held responsible.
The writer of letter to The Lancet
says that the case of the ships surgeon
is stated with accuracy in the above
sentences, and adds that ships surgeons
are Of two kinds-first, those who after
they have qualified take such a position
either for health or for pleasure: and,
second, those who eject to make sea life

The pay of the ships doctor varies
from $50 to $50 a month. This is for
duties to officers and crew. As regards

following groups will include all First,
the passenger who takes the initiative
by romunerating the surgeon, perhaps
handsomely, for any services rendered:
second, the passenger who asks for his

passenger who. travelling for the first
time, does not know whether to ask for
his bill or wait for it to be delivered but
is pleased to be enlightened on the mat

From present indications the temporal

probably prevent premature and rapid

open letter addressed to Herman A. Metz,
president OF the Kings County Democratic
Club, in which he takes Mr.. Metz to task
for remarks he made at the dedication of

that speech Mr. Metz is quoted as saying
that no Democrat can in this campaign
do otherwise than support Judge Parker,
unless he does 1t as a pretext for having
allied himself with the Republicans and
has not the courage to be known as a

A. one of the Democrats who were loyal
in 1928 and 1900, Mr. Van Vleok suggests to
Mr. Metz and his friends, who lent their
inhusnce and votes to the Republican party
in the last two national campaigns, that IT
