Hard to Judge By Sound.

1t is a very curious fact that the
loudest sounds are not always made
by the largest animals. The roar OF
the lion exceeds in sonorousness the
cry Of the elephant. Anyone who had
only heard, without seeing, a bullfrog,
might well suppose that its fearful
voice, breaking the silence Of the night,
must certainly come from the throat
of an animal Of formidable dimensions.
Perhaps the most remarkable case
of vocal power in an animal is that
encountered by traveller in the high
lands in Borneo. He was informed
by some natives that they had heard
a tiger roaring in the neighborhood.
Such news is always startling to
stranger in the jungles, and hardly
less so to the natives.
An investigation was accordingly
set on foot, which resulted in the dis
covery that the alarming roars had
been emitted by toad This toad OF
Borneo, however, was by no means
an ordinary member Of the family. Il
measured no less than l4A inches
around the body.
That the natives should not have
recognized the true source Of the
sound shows that the existence Of such
toads was either unknown to them,
or at any rate, they had never dis
covered the remarkable vocal capa-
bilities of the animals.
In this relation Bates tells OF an in
cident that occurred during his trav-
els along the Amazon. Among the
many sounds heard in the dense
Brazilian forests was kind OF loud
metallic clanking that sometimes
rang through the trees, and the origin
of which the traveller was unable to
discover. Whenever it was heard, the
natives covered with fear, ascribing it
to a supernatural origin. Possibly the
noise was so loud that they missed its
location by searching only for some
thing of corresponding physical di-
mensions.

Exhibits Jackspn's Portrait.

A life-size pastel portrait Of Gen. T.
]. "Stonewall" Jackson, regarded by
Civil War veterans and art critics as
one of the most interesting and au-
thentic likenesses Of General Jackson
in existence, has been placed on ex-
hibition in the Handley Library in
Winchester by Mrs. Juliet A. McCaw,
whose husband, the late DR.. Thomas
McCaw, owned the portrait.
When Jackson was in camp near
Bunker Hill in October or early No
vember, 1862, he came with his staff
to dinner one afternoon at the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Hugh MCGUIRE, the mo-
ther of DR.. William J. MCGUIRE, that
city, and Of the late DR.. Hunter Holmes
MCGUIRE, medical director on Jack
sons staff After dinner he promised
Miss Bette MCGUIRE to have his photo
graph taken and walked to Rouzahn's
gallery, where the photograph was
made. From this photograph Ben
damn, Of Baltimore, made a life-size
pastel portrait that was brought to
Winchester nearly so years ago by
DR.. McCaw. Few persons knew Of its
presence until it was displayed in the
library. 1t hangs in the rotunda and
is directly opposite the portrait Of the
late Judge John Handley, Of Scranton,
Pa, who was attracted to Winchester
through his admiration for the military
genius and manly qualities Of Jack
son.

The Moth and the Lamp.

To night-Aying creatures light indi-
Gates an opening; darkness, a wall.
So, when a moth comes into the circle
of light made by lamp, a wall seems
to enclose il on every side except to-
ward the lamp, and thitherward it flies
till il feels the heat; and then II hutters
back and forth and around between
the hot lamp and the imaginary wall.
But il the lamp be standing near a
white wall the moth will 90 TO this and
buzz around on il. Once saw moth
trying to fly through white shade on
an unlighten lamp beside a lighted
one. The shade was enlarged at the
top, and in the groove thus formed the
moth flew part way round, first on one
side and then on the other. So also
recently saw hy dancing around in
a lighted patch on a white wall near
bright lamp. In like manner a bee
shut up in a room will fly to window
and buzz around on it till il can buzz
no longer. Then, if fed with a drop
Of sweetened water, il revives, and
goes right back TO buzz against the
window pane. II the window is open
ed the bee will try TO fly through the
glass until this is covered with some
thing dark.
The silver moth, which lays its eggs
in woolen goods, never flies toward the
light. 1t is looking for dark cracks
through which il can crawl into chests
and drawers. The mischievous codling
moth does not fly toward light; IT is
looking for dark fruit trees, where it
can deposit its eggs on the tender fruit.
Mosquitoes shun the light; and, il
| sit reading with my right side toward
the lamp, they vii lsteal up TO bite my
left ear or the back OF my left hand.
One evening made smudge in my
bedroom, and next morning killed
number of silver moths on white walls
and ceiling. Before dark, in like man
ner, a smudge will send all the mos
quitoes to the windows to get out.
Poor moths! Our bright lights and
white walls mean TO them an open way
where there is none; and they are thus
deluded to their death.

Sympathetic Pains

Pain Is an indication that something
is wrong, but il by no means always in
dicates what is wrong. II you have
a pain in the ear or in the knee you
naturally suppose that there is some
thing wrong with the ear or the knee
but that does not follow at all. Ex-
quisite pain in the ear may be caused
by a decayed tooth, and pain in the
knee is often an expression of disease
in the hip joint. Those pains that We
feel elsewhere than at their source are
called sympathetic pains, or, more
properly, referred pains.
When there is local spot Of disease
or wound anywhere, the nerves that
are injured do not feel the pain them
selves, but send word Of what is going
on to the central station in the spinal
cord or in the brain, and that central
notifies the consciousness Of the
trouble. But the central does not al
ways know just what part Of the nerve
is injured, and so usually tells the con-
sciousness that the trouble is at the
end Of the nerve; therefore the pain
makes itself felt there when il actually
arises somewhere else.
For example, a child may have little
limp, and when asked what the trouble
is will answer that he has pain in
the knee; very often the trouble is not
in the knee at all but in the hip. An
other child walks stiffy and cautious
ly and complains Of stomach ache; he
doubtless has a pain in the stomach,
boats with survivors aboard, with he
but the disease is in the spine, and il
time is wasted treating the stomach
ache the child is in danger Of becoming
a humpback. A young man wakes up
almost every morning with headache,
"a brow ache or a pain in the back Of
the head or nape Of the neck,-and he
blames one thing and another for 1t
when it is really the eyes that are at
fault. Disorders Of the abdominal
organs may give rise to painful areas
in the skin or the extremities. Heart
disease may be indicated by attacks
Of severe pain in the left arm, and a
pain in the right shoulder may be as
sociated with disease OF the liver.
Physicians always have to be on
guard against being "taken in" by re-
ferred pains, and sometimes even the
best Of them may mistake an attack
Of appendicitis for a case Of pneumonia
or vice versa, because Of the deceptive
pain, unless he carefully weighs the
significance OF all the other symptoms.
