Cause of Fatty Heart.

The great danger from obesity lies
In the liability Of the fat to invade the
cellular elements Of the body, especial
ly the muscles. This produces fatty
degeneration Of the muscular tissues,
which greatly weakens and impairs
their functional activity. When the
fat invades the tissues Of the heart
muscles the disease known as fatty
degeneration of the heart" results, and
the patient IS in serious danger. When
ever q slight additional strain upon the
circulation results from undue eXer-
else, excitement or other cause the
muscles interfere with the hearts ac-
ton, and it is liable to cease beating.
Anaemia and hysteria often are accom-
papiments of obesity. Because Of the
increased weight and difficulty of
moving about such patients are pre-
vented from taking an ordinary
amount of exercise. Often. too, there
are lassitude and positive dislike
for muscular exertion of any kind

Tho Senate's Hole in the Wall.

When the nineteenth century was as
yet only half grown, senators applied
customarily for their toddies at the so
called Hole in the Wall, a small circu-
lar room just off the postofFice Of the
upper house. The latter body then
occupied what is now the chamber Of
the supreme court, and the postoflce
was across the main corridor of the
building on the same floor. When a
wearer Of the toga found himself in
need Of a ':snifter" he had only to
cross over TO the mails department
and pass through it to the little cir
cular room aforesaid, which was about
the size of pantry. The Hole in the
Wall was the first senate restaurant,
and the bill Of fare for cdibles was
short. though to the point. There was
ham, guaranteed to have been smoked
for six months, q veritable sublimation
Of the pork product; there were corned
beef and bread and cheese, but very
little else. They served, however. as
an accompaniment for the fluids. and
when the Hole was crowded, as was
often the case, senators ate their sand
wiches outside, in the postothce. =

A Rovai S,.ake Slsuahterer.

The secretary bird" is one Of the
most precious birds in South Africa.
It is royal game, and any person de-
stroying one is liable to fine Of toO.
Majestic looking birds, they stand
about three feet high and generally go
in pairs. They are Of drab color, with
black, feathery legs, and are valued
for their propensity for killing snakes.
Where the secretary bird is seen there
are sure to be many reptiles about.
The bird beats down It's adversary
first with one wing and then with the
other, at the same time traupling on
it with its feet until the snake is suh-
ciently stunned to catch it by the
head with its claws. Then the bird
rises far up in the air and drops It's
victim to the ground, to be killed. BY
this means thousands Of venomous
reptiles Observation-Disclosures Scraps

The Sleepin1 Sickness.

The terrible sleeping SICKNESS OF
tronical Africa is discussed at length
in an article in Popular Mechanics.
The disease. which long bafIied scien-
fists. is spread bE the tsetsc fly,
bloodsucking. day flying insect. On the
approach Of either man or animal at
river crossing in the densest forest
the victim is soon scented out by the
fly. if there is one in the vicinity, and
then, either silently or with a pcevish
buzz, it makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives its stab.
The usual course Of the disease is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, feverish
condition, lassitude and correspond
Ing disiDclination to work The facial
aspect changes, and a previously happy
and intelligent looking negro becomes
instead dull, heavy and apathetic.
Later, tre1nor in the tongue develops,
speech is uncertain, and mumbling,
walk shutting and progressive weak
ness, drowsiness and oblivion to his
surroundings aflict the sufferer. The
last stage is marked By extreme ena-
citation ard a coma deepening into

From Medicine to the Drama.

The earlier part of Victorien Sar-
dou's career was beset with many
trials and difficulties. His parents
wished him to take up medical ca
reer, and he began his studies with
some zeal. The love Of the drama,
however, was far greater than the
love Of the pill box, and in the inter
val Of the other work Sardou was
busy upon q play. Life was strug-
gle for him, for he had little money,
though be managed to get Journalistic
work to supplement his more slender
income. His first play was a failure,
and Sardou rushed from the theater
rowing never to enter one again. He
fell seriously Ill, was nursed back to
health by Mile. de Brecourt, an ac-
tress who lived on 4 floor below, and
from that time his fortune was made.
