One Rest Cure In Danger.


Sea air and long rest on board ship
have long been the physicians advice
for Wornout humanity. While the air
remains to the voyager if he or she
will take the deck to get it the matter
OF perfect rest on the big liners is be-
coming doubtful problem. It is not
alone the cares of business, but the
amusements and excitements of dailv
life, that the medical man asks to have
laid aside in the search for health.
With hundreds Of passengers on
board, the modern ocean liner is not
the place of rest that it proved to- be
when the health trips abroad first
came into fashion. Various forms Of
amusement have been provided for to
break the mOnotony of a week or ten
days out of sight Of land Provision
has been made for theatrical entertain
ments, and it is now proposed on one
line that theatrical troops travelling
back and forward shall give daily rep
reservations of their plays. There
remains yet golf to be introduced, and
then If the traveller gets any rest on
the voyage he'll be compelled to exert
himself for it and tax his vital energy
at about the same pace that landed
him In the doctors care.

CURIOUS INSECT.
A Butterfly That Enjoys Only Five
Hours of Life.

4
1t is in August that the .naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which is
born, reproduces and dies in the period
| of single night on the banks Of the
Marine, of the Seine and of the Rhine.
| 1t is the ephemere Of which Sirammer-
| dam has written and which is spoken
of in Aristotle.
| The life of this insect does not last
| beyond four or five hours. 1t dies to-
| ward II o'clock in the evening after
taking the form of butterfly about six
| hours after midday. 1t is true, how
ever, that before taking this form it
| has lived three years in that Of a
worm which keeps always near the
| border of water in the holes which it
makes in the mud.
| The change of this worm in the wa
ter to an ephemere which flies is so
1t. If one takes the worm in the water
the hand cannot be taken away before
the change is made unless by pressing
the worm slightly in the region of the
chest. By this means it can be taken
from the water before the change
takes place.
The ephemere, after leaving the wa
ter. seeks a place where it can divest
itself Of a fine membrane or veil, which
entirely covers it. This second change
takes place in the air.
The ephemere assists itself with the
point Of its little nails as firmly as it
can. 1t makes movement similar to
that of shiver; then the skin on the
middle of the back breaks apart. the
wings slip out of their sheath, as we
sometimes take off our gloves by turn
ing them inside out. After this strip
ping the ephemere begins to fly. Some
times it holds itself straight up on the
surface Of the water on the end Of it's
TAIL tapping it's wings one against the
other. 1t takes no nourishment in the
five or six hours which are the limit of
its life. 1t seems to have been formed
but to multiply, for it does not leave
it's state of worm until it is ready to
deposit it's eggs. and it dies as soon as
they are deposited.
In three days time one sees appear
and die all species Of ephemere. They
last sometimes until the fifth day, for
the reason that some malady has af-
fected some Of them and prevents them
from changing at the same time as the
others.

RicheSieu as an Editor.

The first reporter of France was
Louis XIII. The National library pos
sesses the manuscripts Of thirty-six ar
ticles written by that king. Almost all
are accounts Of his military operations.
These articles were published in the
Gazette de France. The copy how
ever, did not go directly to the printer.
Louis XIII. wrote abominable French,
and he had vague notions of orthogra-
ply. His articles were corrected and
often entirely rearranged by secre-
tary named Lucas, who copied them.
sending to Richelieu the new manu-
script. Richelieu examined it in his
turn and often introduced additional
corrections. At the sie~e Of Corbie the
king wrote few lines euiogistic Of the
cardinal, but afterward crossed them
out of his article. Richelieu wrote
them in again, and SO they appeared in
the Gazette de France.-Revue de Par

MEANINGS OF CALDER.
Either the Diameter of a Gun or Its
Length Divided by Diameter.


There is surely no word in the no.
menclature Of guns. big and little,
which has caused and is causing so
much confusion in the lay mind as the
word caliber.
The confusion arises chiefly from the
use of the term in an adjectival sense
to indicate length, as when we say a
so caliber six inch gun.
The word caliber as applied to artil-
lery signifies essentially and at all
times the diameter of the bore of a
gun. A gun. then. of six inch c0liber
is gun whose bore is just six inches.
For convenience and because the
power Of gun when once its bore has
been decided upon depends so greatly
upon its length artillerists gre in the
habit of defining the length of the gun
in terms Of the caliber.
The six inch rapid fire gun, as mount
ed On the ships of the navy, is a trifie
under twenty-five feet in length and
is therefore known as a so caliber gun.
In the case of small arms the caliber
is expressed in hundredths of an inch,
as when we say a % caliber or 80 cali
Der pistol, meaning that the bore is
% or 80 of an inch in diameter.-Sci-
entific American.
