A naturalist says that the Hissing of
the cat !s merely an Imlt.-.tion of the
hiss of tho oiiake, done, for the cat's
protection. Everything in nature
dreads the snake, and the hiss is its
characteristic note. That other ani
mals should imitate it, therefore, is
only a part of nature's protective
scheme.
Arsenic, the dreaded poison that Pro
fessor Armand Gar. tier, of TaiK as
sorts is essential to lite, proves to be
diss'-niiiiaied in the primitive nicks,
from which sen -water derives iis store.
The minute quantity taki in the
food becomes kvaKzcil'in I ho skin and
its appendage.-, the thyroid ard mam
mary glands, the brain and the bones,
aud it is stated to be the excitiug. fer
ment of ihe functions of sensation
and reproduction, just as phosphorus
is the exciting element of the functions
of cellular nutrition.
A naturalist s;vs that the red-billed
weaver-bird is to be' form! nowhere
except with buffaloes. The reason is
that the bird gets nearly on all its food
on the big, woolly animals, catching
and eating the parasites and insects
that infest them. It flits from one end
to the other of the big body and hunts
its prey as confidently as if the buffalo
wore Avithout life, and the buffalo avoI
coiacs it as a friend. If -danger -approaches
tlie bird stops feeding arid
ilies up into the air with a peculiar
sound that tho animal takes as a waru
iug. -
A series of experiments ay as recently
carried out. at the Altenburg colliery,
near Saarbrucken, Germany, Avith lime,
tar and carbolineum to detennine the
respective value thereof as preserva
tives of mine timber against rot. Lime
was found to be of the least value,
while coal tar, although insuring per
fect preservation of the surface of
the timber, failed to protect the in
terior, which in every instance was
found to be seriously attacked by rot.
Carbolineum, however, gave excellent
results, provided the timber coated had
been previously barked and well dried.
T,he first city in Germany, and per
haps in tlie world, to use ozone for the
purification of its water supply is
Schierstein. Chemists and bacteriolo
gists have long been familiar with the
germicidal qualities of this form of
oxygen, and a number of attempts
have been made in Europe and Amer
ica to utilize the principle. Schierstein,
which is a suburb of "Woisbaden, ap
pears to be a pioneer, though, in tho
adoption of the system on a large scale.
An elaborate factory to produce ozone
electrically from the atmosphere has
been erected at the waterworks, and
has now been turned over to the mu
nicipality. Similar apparatus has been
installed at raderbo'rn. Ozone is used
to . purify only drinking water, and
treatment with it. is substituted for
sand filtration, the favorite expedient
in Germany for getting a-rd of obnox
ious bacteria.
Facts About Insects.
As about S000 neAv species of insects
are named annually it is not surprising
that our knoAvledge of these forms of
life must have increased very greatly
since the issue of the ninth edition of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica. In the
supplementary volumes Dr. Sharpe in
his article. "Insects," presents a sum
mary of recent progress in entomology.
Tt is estimated by some authors that
the entire insect world numbers some
thing like 10.000,00;) forms, of which
ninny are still unknoAvn to science.
As a large number of species must be
in process of extinction Dr. Sharpe
concludes that it is probable that a
ccnsiuerable proportion of the species
of irsecvi'r.tr.v existing will have disap
peared front ih.j face of the earth he
fore specimens of them have been
either discovered or preserved. It is
interesting 10 reflect that science, cin
nivii'oiis and all-collecting, may he
distanced hi the mere attempt to cata
logue the inhabitants of a very small
ear:!:.

How Irishman Wittily Suggested Ad
ditional Refreshment. V
An Irish jarvey was driving with an
English visitor, who was on his way
to spend Christmas Avith some, rela
tives in Ireland, cn a bitterly cold day
in December through - the Avilds of
Cocnemara. ,wThey became quite so
ciable on the way, and the native, in a
burst of confidence, pointed out a she
been where the "best potheen in Con
nacht" might be obtained. The Eng
lishman, cnJy too, glad to get an op
portunity of warming himself, offered
refreshment, which offer Avas readily
accepted.
" Tis a very cold day in these parts,
Pat?" observed, the tourist.
" 'Tis, your honor," replied Pat. He
raised his glass, and the cbntents
speedily vanished. "And there's truth
in the ould sayin'," do suggestively
added, smacking his lips; "cue swal
lew never made a summer. ".London

Excusable Profanity.
Rear Admiral Melville addressed the
Engineering society cf Columbia uni
veirity cn Atretic experiences last
week, and for nearly three hears kept
his audience deeply interested, many .
of his hearers being women. In tell- f
ing what happened at the Avreck of
the Janette he said that at one time
he was afraid of being swamped and
that made him swear. "So I turned,"
said he, "and yelled, C d n it, ).
must run for it or swamp.' It made
me swear, ladies and gentlemen." For
a moment everybody Avas startled, but
a round cf applause soon testified to
an understanding that the sailor Avas
merely realistic and not profane in the
ordinary way.
Native Generosity.
''Are ycu catching any fish, little

"Not a blame fish;"
"Are you1 aw getting any bfte3?"
"Nary bite."
"Have you been fishing here long?"
"All day."
"Do you expect to catch anything?"
"Nope."
"Then why, little boy, (io you continue-
to tish?"
"So's you kin hev somethin' to put

information as to right living
health end happiness. v"ith proper knoAvledge, each hour of
recreation, cf enjoyment and of eCort may be made to con;ribute
to that end and are of not less value than tlis using: of the most
wholeecma foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents
when needed. With tlis well-informed, medicinal agents are used
only wben nature needs assistance and while the importance of
cleansing the system effectually, when bilious cr constipated, ha3
Ions been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary
to resort to oils, salts, cxtrrxtc cf rocls, barks and other cathartics
which were found to te objectionable and to call for constantly
increased quantities. '
Then physicians having lcaned that the most excellent laxative
and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants,
principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered
a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and
of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form
most acceptable to the system and the remedy-became known as
Syrup of Figs as figs were used, with the plants, in making it,
because of their agreeable taste.
This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the
best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses
and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural
functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use maybe discon
tinued when it is no longer required.
All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember
that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents wen-informed
approve and recommend and use and which they and' their little ones
alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its
beneficial effects.
Syri-p of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price
of flly cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of
the remedy Syrup of Figs and the lull name ot the company'
, California Fig Syrup Cc. printed on the front of every package.
