How the Monpoose Killed the Puff
Adder,
litin.� '•
Tarlton, by the way, told me an inter-
esting anecdote of a whits:tailed mon-
goose and a snake. One day they
brought in a rather small puff udder,
less than two feet long, put it on the
floor; and showed it to the mongoose.
Instantly the latter sprang toward the
snake, every hair in its 'body and tail
on end, and halted five feet away, while
the snake lay in curves like the thong
of a whip, its head turned toward, the
mongoose. Both were motionless !kir a
moment. Then, suddenly, the mongoose
. seemed to lose its excitement; its ban
smoothed down, and it trotted quietly
up to the snake, seized it by the mid,iie
of the bask—it always devoured its foot
with savage voraeity—and settled com-
fortably down to its meal. Like light-
ning the snake's head whipped round.
It drove its fangs deep into the ;snout
or lip of the mongoose, hung on for a
moment, and then repeated tins blow.
The mongoose paid not the least atten'
tion, but went on munching the snake's
body, severed its backbone at once, and
then ate, it all up, head, fang;, poison,
and everything; and it never showed a
sign of having reeeis-ed any damage in
the encounter. I had always understood
that the mongoose owed its safety to its
agility in avoiding the snake's stroke.
and I can offer no explanation of this
particular ineident. — From "_African
Game Trails," by Theodore Roosevelt, in
the July Scribner.

BUFFALO PLAYGROUNDS.
(Christian Guardian.)
The city of Buffalo has expended no
cess than $145,570 upon children's play-
ground's within the city since it under=
took work of this kind a few years ago.
If the money has been at all wisely laid
ut, we do not think the city has spent
any such sum for any other purpose
that will yield better results. Many of
our Canadian cities are lamentably be-
hind in this matter.

Insect Which Sits on Its Eggs.
family matters, in the case of insects,
anally mean only the depositing of eggs
in ,suitable situations for the independ-
ent development of the offspring, the
parent insects often dying before the
young appear. The earwig, however,
provides a remarkable exception to the
general rule, for it, sits upon its 50 or
more eggs until they are hatched, just as
a bird would do; and, moreover, if the
segs get scattered, it carefully collects
them; ,together again. In the early
nont,'s of the year, when digging the
;.oil, female earwigs may frequently be
found together with' their batch of eggs.
At the slightest signs of danger the
young, that usually come from the eggs,
huddle close to their mother, hiding be-

large a family.—Strand Magazine.

SKY PILOT ON THE LAKES.
of
is
The Rev. W. H. Law's Parish Ex-,
tends From Buffalo to Duluth.
A parish 1,500 miles in length and 300
miles in width is iu charge of the Rev.
W, H. Law, known from Buffalo to Du-
luth .as the Sky Pilot of the Great
Lakes.
The membership of this parish runs
into the thousands and the great major-
ity of the parishioners never worship
twice in the same locality, for services
are held mostly in moving ships. Some
are held in lonely lighthouses far from
other human habitation.
No wedding has ever taken place in
this parish ,no christening of a baby,
no services for the burial of the dead.
This sky pilot seeks his parishioners
in a small gasolene boat twenty-two
feet in length. Besides carrying the mes-
sage of the Gospel to these men he takes
to them books, magazines, papers and
news of the outside world. Iles visits acro
looked forward to by the lighthouse
beepers and the lightship crews, for his
territory is so large that he is unable
to visit them more than once during the
season, d'Ieygnaintains a small cistculating
library of not Mein than sevesty boosts.
He also carries with him a phonograph
with records of the most'popular hymns.
Some of the lighthouses visited are far
from the mainland and the trips to
them are hazardous. Standard Rock
light, for instance, is nearly fifty miles
out from Marquette on Lake Superior.
It is erected on a small but dangerous
reef which resembles a whale's back.
The light is 105 feet in height and
rests on crib work, which is encircled
by a railway, and for weeks at a time
the weather is so bad that it is dang-
erous for the keepers to venture out of
doors. Between the light and Ke1veenaw
Point there Is a depth of 1,005 feet of
water.
On his +ravels the sky pilot visits 300
lighthouses, fifteen lightships and sixty
life saving stations. Mr. Law does not
outwardly resemble a minister of the
gospel. He is big and healthy and has
a rolling gait like a sailor. He preaches
simply to the sailors, with whom he is
very papalar.

NERVOUS SYSTEMS

It is an old story now that nervous
people tell of how thy' blond becomes
poor and thin, and then the nervous
;symptoms followed. 'tow many really
know that the thin t:'rud was respon-
sible for the •nerr.tu- disorders? The
nerves get all' their nourishment from
the blood, and as thin blood is deficient
in nerve -building material, the nerves
become starved and pain and nervous
breakdown is the result. Dr. Williams

supply it with the necessary elements to

Simplon Tunnel Fortification*,

are engaged in constructing mines and
strengthening those already in place in
order to blow up the tunnel at a mo-

the middle of the tunnel, it few yards
front the Swiss frontier, Italian engi-
neers have put in place a double iron
door, which can resist tbe rush of an
express train travelling at sixty mile,
an hour, The iron door is worked by
electricity from Iselle, the station at the
Italian end of the tunnel, and under
ordinary conditions it is bidden in the
reeky side of the tunnel, The door is
earefuliy tested once a week. The mines
are connected with Brigue and lseile by
electricity also, and by simply pressing
a button the Simplon Tunnel would be

THE WIND AND OUR NERVES.
Effects Upon Us of Winds From the
East, West and Northwest.
The east winds hug the earth more
closely and gather more moisture, dust
and bacteria. They are cold and hum-
an and animal life and rendering it
susceptible to the disease germs which
the winds Garry and disseminate.
The cool, pure uorthw:est winds come
from a region of dry, highly electrified
air where ozone exists in comparatively
large quantities. They are invigorating.
The framework of" nerves in the human
being is like a delicate electrical appar
atm, the nerves being the wires and
the brain and ganglia receiving and dis-
tributing centres.
Every one knows that a telephone
works better on a clear, dry day than
on a wet, muggy one. The moist atmos-
phere lessens vitality. The nerve wires
grow flaccid and heavy. The messages
become confused. Hence low spirits, mel-
ancholia, distorted mental outlook, faul-
ty assimilation, and disease.
The opposite effects flow from the
northwest winds. The west and north-
west winds keep the mucous membranes
of the body in good working order. The
coating of moisture which is always
present with the east wind disappears.
Absence of any wind if long continued
has a bad effect on the human body and
mind.
A prolonged calm means lack of venti-
lation on a great scale. The winds serve
to mix in normal proportions the gases
which compose the atmosphere, and in
this way they are conducive to health
up to a certain point. Beyond about
twenty miles an hour their influence be-
gins to be unfavorable.—From the Chi-
cago Tribune.
Aerial London.
'R'lth tbe aid of a balloon a British
:scientist has for ;several years industri-
ously explored the atmosphere over
London, and the results of his Investiga-
tions afford a strange picture of the
skyward extension of the world's great-
est city.
Somewhat fancifully and yet with a
certain degree of truth, London might
be said to be six thousand feet high, or
deep, for up to about that level the air
over the vast town is unmistakably Lon-
don air.
Between three thousand and five thou-
sand feet above the housetops is a re-
gion where dust resembling chaff, filo-
mutts and woollen fibre, st,hit as would
arise from thoroughfares and from the
sweeping of houses, seems especially to
accumulate. At least there is more there
than nearer the ground. In calm wea-
ther aerial London becomes to a °erte n
extent stratified, From above six thou-
sand feet one can often look down upon
the surface of the haze, as if it had a
definite limit.
Dinner.
A good dinner is a work of art; so is
the selection of the time to cat it. In
Charleston people dine at 3 in the after-
noon or thereabouts, supposedly because
sc,me time in the long ago that- suited
the school children, or because there
were such large families in those days
that it took the cook that long to get
the necessary quantity cooked. In Mo-
bile they are glad to dine at any time,
although some of the older and richer
families have regular dinners every day.
In New Orleans those who dine go to
the restaurants. In fact, without its
eating places New Orleans would not
last a Slay, and half The town would be
bankrupt. However, it is pertinent 'to
remark that some of the best cooks in
the world are down -in the metropolis,
and they have a way of cooking Ordin-
ary potatoes that.makcs them taste like
one of Bob Taylor's promises.---Clutries-
