All named right there, mo I deacended to the ban/tient; there, too, lurch as I might, I could find nothing amiss, till a happy thought struck me, why was the mastiff so quiet in spite of all the noise? I unlocked a door and looked into the yard; there he was, fait asleep, alive evidently, for 1 could feel his breathing, but a kick in the ribs failed to stir him. The only conclusion to come to wall evidently that he had been drugged. This spurred me auto fresh investigations. Even the ramie intimate acquaintance is nob perfectly at home in the lower regions of a friend's house. I tried every door I could see, and at last found one which led into a little pantry oup- board which had a window. The window was open, and one pane had been carefully removed. Where had been a man at work 1 What had become of him ? The house was one of "the ordinary large vilia type, aemi-detached, with a large, long garden in the rear, the garden being on a level with the basement, one room of which, that facing the garden, was handsomely fur- nished, and went by the name of the break- fast room. Over this breakfaat room was the drawls:1g room, with its large bow win- dow opening in to a verandah, from which a flight of steps descended to the garden, against the wall which divided our premises from those of the next neighbor's. Under this outside stairem there was naturally a triangular recent which had been .fibted with a door, and was used as a storehouse for gar. oo den tools. . I could not find my man, and thought that he had mest probably gone, disturbed by the noise which I had made. Still r hardly, liked to go to bed, the extracted window glass and the dragged dog counselling -watch - tutees?, so I strolled into the breakfast room, opened a cue which I knew was the home of some excellent dean, took one, lighted it, and repaired to the garden, leav- ing my sword on the table, but taking the loaded pistol with me. The cigar was a large one, and 2 a. m. is not the warmest hour of tke night, albeit the month was July. But I had retsolved to stay up till that 'cigar was finished, and finally, after pacing to and fro for some time; I went and leaned up ; against the door of the tool shed under the ) drawingroom verandala. There 1 remained for at 'emit tedminutes or a quarterof anhonr and the ,oigar was burning very small, when suddenly, without any warning, I was forcibly propelled forward 2 or 3 garde into the inldst of the garden by a kick from be- hind, while the pistol went off as I came with a crash on my nose. My unlooked.for assailant bounded past me and over the wall into the next) garden ere I realized what had happened. Smarting with rage, and not much the worse for my fall, I rushed to the wall and saw the man goieg over the wall beyond.

Few people have any idea of the extent to -which water is a coastituent of organics substances. Rather more than a pound of water is exhaled daily by the breath, about a pound and three-fourths by the akin and two pounds and threefonrthe by the kidneys —making the daily enaissions of weter by the body about five pounds and a helf—or just under three quarts. Dr. Whitelaw tells us that water,forms three-fourths of the weight of living animals and plants, and covers about three-fourths of the earth's surface.

"When subjected to a steady temperature of 1020 fahreniteit, the process of devel- opment begins: First the germinal vesicle rises to the surface of the yoke, and the tat ter gradually undergoes certain alterations. Tissues are developed by the reproduction of cella, the latter being of various kinds, each serving the purpose of forming the several parts of an animal organisme Carefully break- ing a fertile egg whioh has experienced the necessary heat for the space of 36 hears, a tiny rea- color edtube canto seenon the eurface of the yolk, in which regular pulsations are taking place. This is the heart, which at the end of six days would have assumed its proper and permanent form. The yolk undergoes a process of segmentation, and at the end of the fourth day has been divided into halves, forming distinct spheres by the Veins which at that time cover abont one-half of its surface. With an egg tester, used after dark in a room without other light, the heart and veins radiating there- from, oan be distinctly seen. Thus the extremities, or more delicate portione of the veins are always creeping downwards, ard the same temperature underneath the eggs as above It will destroy them or check their development Occasionally the germ dies in a few days after it commences to develop, ttnd when this has occurred the heart will be found clinging to the lining of the shell and refusing. to assume the proper position when is the egg turned."
