MANYveNoMoUs REPTILES DEAF


Mankind Often Escapes Danger of At
tack Owing to This Circumstances.
1t Is q little known fact--it has, in
deed, but recently been discovered by
naturalists-that a majority of the
~enomous reptiles with which the
word is infested are wholly or par
tally deaf, while their sight is often
defective. To this Is probably due the
immunity of man from the attack OF
these creatures, for men hear and see
the ~erpents before they are heard or
seea and are enabled either to escape
FROM their proximity or to make ade-
quate preparations for defense.
A German naturalist, NJ. Werner of
Vienna, has recently reported the re-
suit 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 surprising, and in all
they are worthy of notice. NJ. Wer-
ner has observed 1856 individuals, of
which one-third were at liberty, and
he took all precautions possible not to
let the creatures know they were
watched, One general fact is evident,
that reptiles and amphibians are
strongly attracted by water. They go
straight for it, even when they are at
a distance so great that they could not
divine its presence by any of the
senses known to us. 1t seems really
that a sense of which we have no
knowledge informs them of the direc-
ton in which water may be found.
There seems to be a sort of chemical
attraction, says NJ. Werner. But how
does this act and on what part of the
creature? This remains a mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light, but in
dependently of heat; they are positive
ly heliotroplc and in winter they often
leave a comfortable and warm retreat
to seek the sunlight. Sight is gener-
ally good with them. 1t is probably
the finest sense they possess, but 1t
would still appear to be limited
The caymans and the crocodiles can
not distinguish a man at distances of
more than six times their length, ac-
cording to NJ. Werner. In the water
fishes see only at very close range
about half their own length. This will
seem, perhaps, unlikely to anglers, al
though some of them can cite in
stances showing that fish cannot see
far. Snakes seem to have a mediocre
sense Of sight. The boa, for instance,
does not see at more than a quarter
and third of its own length; different
species are limited to one-ffth or one
eighth of their length.

works at Copper Cliff, when he was
stricken with peritonitis. He was re-.

where, Notwithstanding the attend
ance of specialist from Montreal, he
died.
Henry Clay Taylor was born in
Washington, d. c., in 1876. His faith
er, well-known publisher, was an In
innate friend of Henry Clay, and the
son was named in honor of the Ken
lucky statesman. His mother was a
granddaughter of Col. Charles Simms,
friend Of Gen. Washington.
Appointed to the Naval Academy In
1850, the rise of young Taylor through
the various grades of the service was
rapid. He was made ensign three
years later, and assigned to the steam
sloop Shenandoah, which took part in
| the bombardment of Fort Fisher. He
was appointed master in 1865, and In
1868 a lieutenant commander. Ten
| years Of his life were devoted to prr-
suits which have more to do with the
bureau work of the department than
with active service.
| His most conspicuous service was
done in the Spanish-American war
Capt. Taylor was assigned in 1897 to
the battleship Indiana. He escorted
the forces of Maj. Gen. Shafter to San.
tlago, directing fifteen naval vessels
and a convoy Of thirty-f1ve transports
with such skill that the last vessel
came in sight within an hour after the
appearance of the Indiana. On the
night before the naval battle of San
tiago the Indiana was assigned to the
duty Of keeping watch on the harbor
The Indiana did splendid service In
this battle. and was in turn engaged
by the Spanish cruisers as they came
out. She inflicted heavy damage OF
the Vizcaya and the Colon.

TENNESSEE MILK SICKNESS.
Disease, Peculiar to State, Kills Man
and Beast.

From time to time in the last five
decades Tennesseeans have been stir
red to a profound sense of interest in
the States mysterious malady, milk
Sickness" as its deadly temperance
in certain sections Of the State has
been followed by fatal results to hu.
man beings and to stock. No one has
ever discovered the cause Of the NAL
ady from which death relieves the vic
tim, after such physical agony as al
most deprives the human species Of the
power of speech and dumb brutes ex-
press their sufferings by frenzied
search for water to cool the thirst
which consumes them. Once by a
stream, they plunge or fall into it, and
quickly drink themselves to death.
The fatal sickness is known to a lin.
tied extent in several sections of the
State, but exists principally near Spar
ia, in White county. 1t is contracted
through drinking the milk Of cows
that have eaten a certain weed, known
IS the ''milk-sick weed" which looks
somewhat like clover, and grows thick
" on the infected land. But what
constitutes the poison in the weed is
no more determined to-day than it was
when first located by the keen-witted,
nature-Wise mOuntaineers, who have
been its chief victims. 1t has been az.
cribed at various times to minerals,
whose poison Is absorbed in the roots
Of the "milksicll" plant; to a vapo1
from some fungus growth, and to the
action of the dew, producing, in con.
nectiOn with the life of the plant n
certain poisonous acid. But all Of these
theories have failed under tests ap-
piled by practical science. On the larg-
est infected section known to exist in
the limits of the State, "Milksick
Mountain" in White county. no min.
eral whatsoever exists; cattle which
ate the "milksick weed" after the dew
had dried died in agony, just as those
which ate 1t when the dew was fresh
and sparkling, and the strictest search
failed to find any fungous growth
whatever.-Louisville COurier-Journal

The sweet mouth prone
To tenderness;
Then, lip to lip,
With rapture stirred,
You might let slip

With fragrant kiss
Interpreting

The rose would bring.

Take it to be
