blow of their javelin beaks. The ty-
rant bird picks up the young snake
by the tail, and flying to branch or
stone, uses the reptile as a fail until
its life is battered. out The large
lizard Of the pampas, the iguana, is a
famous, snake killer. 1t smites the
snake to death with its powerful tail
Mr.. Hudson, in his Naturalist in La
Plata" tells this sotry:
One day friend of mine was riding
out, looking after his cattle. One end
of his lasso was attached to his saddle
and the remainder of the forty-foot
line was allowed to trail on the
ground.
The rider noticed large iguana ly
ing apparently asleep, and although
he rode within few inches, it did
not stir. But no sooner had the rider
passed than the trailing lasso attracted
the lizards attention.
1t dashed after the slowly moving
rope and dealt it a succession of VIC
lent blows with its TAIL
When the whole of the lasso, several
yards of which had been pounded in
vain, had passed by, the iguana, with
uplifted head, gazed after it with as
tonishment. Never had such wonder
full snake crossed its path before.

flown about 1000 feet in 1897 with his

Lately the practice Of superheating
steam for locomotives has been resum-
ed in Europe and England, and with
the aid of suitable fabrication, is said
to have given good results. The saw
ing in coal consumption is estimated
in England at 20 per cent, and still
higher economy has been claimed in
Germany. In Italy the plan has been
tried on the State railways with an
economy of coal reckoned at 1873 per
cent In addition it is said that the
trains run by superheated steam show
a gain of 1875 per cent in weight of
load drawn, and SO per cent in speed,
as compared with trains run by satur-
ated steam.
Sir A. Trevor Dawson makes this
comparison to show the great strides
made in modern ordnance in forty-five

charge of So pounds of powder, and
discharging projectile of GA pounds
with a muzzle velocity of 1900 feet
per second. 1t could perforate 16 inch

of butter. Shake a little of the sugar
and butter on the top and bake until

Warfare against disease, a winning
night at many points of the long battle
line, nowhere progresses more hopeful
ly than where it faces that old enemy
OF the human race, consumption. A
malady that was responsible for per.
haps one-fifth of all deaths fifty years
ago has lost much of its terror; lis
mortality IS only half, or even p
third, Of what it was, and is still de-
clining. Most of this advantage has
been gained through Doctor Koch's
great discovery of the tubercle-bacillus,
and consequent Improvement in meth
ods of combating the disease. But be-
fore the exact cause of consumption
was known the beginnings of rational
treatment had been made. One of the
pioneers in the application of fresh air
in unlimited dosage is Doctor Tru-
deau, whose quarter-century of prac-
tice among tubercular patients was re-

the vitalizing power of the open air, he
went up into the north woods, and
there, living roughly and healthfully
in-or rather out ola rude camp, he
made himself a we'll man. Then, In
1884, he opened small, primitive san.
itarium for the treatment OF cases like
his own. From that have grown, not
only his own great establishment at
Saranac Lake, but hundreds of sani-
tariums in all parts Of the country,
where similar methods of treatment
are followed. To these sanitariums
many a man who in the old days would
have been abandoned to the grave owes
his health and usefulness to-day. More
over, they have taught the possibility
Of home treatment; also the facts that
fresh air, as abundant and unpolluted
as may be, is mans best ally in the
fight against tuberculosis, and that ex-
pensive journeys to arid or semi-tropi
ical regions are by no means essential
to cure. No disease has in its time
worn more terrifying aspect than
consumption. But it is no longer "in.
curable." 1t can be not only cured,
but wiped out. Care, cleanliness and
fresh air will do 1t.
