CUTTLE BONE AND SEPlA.
Where They Come From and What
They Are Used For.

Where They Come From and What
They Are Used For.
Cutie bone was once made use Of as
a medicine, but 1t is now used by gold
smiths as a polish and by bird fanciers
as food for Gagged birds.
This cutie bone, so called, Is no bone
at all, but very wonderful structure
consisting almost entirely Of pure chalk
and having been at one time loosely
imbedded in the substance of some de-
parted cuttlefish. 1t is an oval bone,
white and hard on the outside, but soft
and friable within. and is inclosed by
a membranous sack within the body of
the cutie.
When the cutie Is living this struc-
ture runs through the entire length OF
the abdomen and occupies about one
third of its breadth. In weight cutie
bone is extremely light, and If 1t be
cut across and examined through a
lens the cause of the lightness will at
once be apparent. 1t is not solid, but
is formed OF n succession of exceed
ingly thin floors of chalk, each con-
nected with each by hundreds of the
smallest imaginable chalky pillars.
Many persons attribute sepia, or Chi
nese ink, to the cuttletish. They are,
however in error, for sepia is manu-
facture of SCOT and fine gums. The er-
ror may be due to the fact that the
cuttlefish has an internal sac under the
throat, near the liver, that contains a
very dark natural ink. When pursued
by enemies the cutie elects this inky
substance and thereby forms a cloud
of darkened water all about 1t and
hides In this water until out of danger.

TOUCHING FOR KINGS EVIL.
Extent OF the Custom In the Seven
teenth Century.

teenth Century.
Between the years 1861 and 1852 as
many as 92,107 persons were touched
for the kings evil. Each Of them re-
ceived gold coin, with a hole In 1t,
which-the coin, not the hole-"was sus-
pended from the neck by a ribbon" 1t
became necessary to limit the number
of patients to be touched, and at last
no person was allowed in the kings
presence for that purpose who had not
previously obtained a certificate from
the minister of the parish in which he
or she lived that he or she was suffer-
ing from the disease.
"Hambledon, Bucks, 1855, May II.
Mary Wellington had certificate to
60 before the king for disease called
the kings evil."-Parish Registers,
Page 81, r. +. Chester Waters.
From a proclamation issued by
Charles H.. dated Jan. 0, 1888, appoint
ing the times at which the touch should
be administered:
"And all such as shall hereafter come
or repair to the court for this purpose
shall bring with them certificates under
the hands and seals Of the parsOn, vic
ar or minister and of both or one OF
the churchwardens, testlfyng accord
ing to the truth that they have not al
any time before been touched by
his majesty to the intent to be healed
of theIr disease And all ministers and
churchwardens are hereby required tc
be very careful to examine into the
truth before they give such certificates
and also to keep a register Of all Ger
tificates they shall from time to time
give."-London Notes and Queries.

Sea Salt.

1t seems that the sea was made salt
In the beginning as part Of the grand
design of the Creator TO provide for
the e''s'nm Of evolution which has been
gcia ,i s..icc the creation. Many dis
tinct species OF living organisms exist
In the sea as a result of its salinity,
and their remains have largely contrib
uted to the growth of continents. The
three great factors in accounting for
the system of currents in the ocean
by which it becomes the great heat dis
tributer Of the globe are changes of
temperature, the winds and salinity.
The last mentioned becomes an i'm
portant factor through the immediate
and essential differences of specific
gravity and consequent differences Of
level that it produces in different parts
of the ocean through the action of
evaporation and rainfall.

l have not called attention to the conditions set

done in the hope that citizens will study the
military situation calmly for themselves; will re-
member that the presence of efficient militia is not
only of protection in of necessity,
but also deters at least discourages outbreaks of
violence; and will bethink themselves of needs.
Jacksonville has too much valuable property, too
many leading enterprises to say nothing of the lives
that may be endangered to trust to luck. Permit me
to say however, that information received since the
quarterly reports referred to gives fattering
surance that the three Jacksonville companies and
the companies at st. Augustine and Fernandina at
least may be kept in the service, and Lake City
gives promise of retaining its company also nope
that Jacksonville will soon number an efficient artil

IL does require the attendance at drill of two thirds

Chicago, March 14.-Mayor Dunno,
In discussing the decision of the Unit
ed States supreme court in the Chi
cago traction cases, said: 80
."The decision is a complete victory
for the city CT Chicago. 1t means that
there are no ninety-nine-year rights in
the streets Of the city; that the ~occu-
pancy of the streets on the North Side
of the city is without any warrant
whatever in law and that the right of
the companies on the South and West
Sides to use the streets is based upon
provision in the ordinance which
gives them the right to occupy for a
period of twenty-five years the streets
they are now in and until their tangi'
BILE property is purchased.
'"The decision has placed the city in
a position where it can tender to the
companies the value of their tangible
property under the terms of the Or
dinance. The present companies have
the right to be paid for their property
and that is about all the rights they
do have. The decision by one giant
stride makes it possible to bring about
municipalization just as soon as the
city can provide the money for the
purchase of the lines"
The mayor and his friends believe
