The first lightning conductor was invent- ed by an obscure Bohemian monk in 1754. According to the Registrar -General's Re- ports, suicide is on the increase in Great Britain. It is said that pansy leaves spread among furs and woollens will protect them from moths. A single polypus has been cut into 124 parts, and each in time became a perfect animal.

Sir George Tryon is the fourth British admiral who has lost his life by shipwreck or disaster unconnected with warfare since the beginning of the last century. In Octo- ber, 1707, Sir Cloudesley Shovel shared the fate of the crew of the Association ; and on August 29. 1782, Admiral Kempenfeldt was drowned by the "heeling" over " of the Royal George. The great loss of life by the sinking of the Victoria is ascribed to her suddenly heeling over as in the case of the Royal George ; but the recent catastrophe was, by comparison, not nearly as appalling as the shipwreck of the St. George, the Defence, and the Hero, on the coast of Jut- land in 1811, when Admiral Reynolds and two thousand sailors perished. Two thirds of the gold now in use in the world was discovered during the last fifty years. The Excise and Customs duties on spirits amount to more than ten millions of pounds per annum. Tne Duke of York has .passion for white roses, wearing a bud every day the flower is available. The largest tomb in the world is the pyr- amid of Cheops, 461 feet high and covering thirteen acres of ground. Female fish of all species are considerably more numerous than males, with two excep- tions—the angler and the catfish. The foueth verse of the twentieth chapter of Revelations contains more words than any other verse in the New Testament. The Prince and Princess of Wales make it a rule to hand over to the Zoological Gar- dens any animals sent to them as presents from abroad. Australia has extreme heat in summer. A scientist says that matches accidentally dropped on the ground there were ignit- ed. Only citizens who are able to read and write have the power to vote in Bolivia and several other South American Repub- lics. The Marquis of Londonderry is the owner of the smallest pony known. It weighs only 16 lb., and at its birth was but 191 inches high. Barbers usually gamble with the money earned by shaving dead men. It brings luck, they say. Mouldy apples, which have been stored in cellars, are perilous to health. They sometimes cause diphtheria. The Pope's handwriting is clear, delicate and upright, and is more the calligraphy of a poet than that of a churchman. - Succi, the faster, is insane, and now in an asylum near Paris. His delusion has taken the form of a belief that he is Caesar ;,and Napoleon in one. - - - - Mr. Rider Haggard has a constant com- panion in his study in the form of a large pet rat named "Jac'k."

It is inlaid with pearls, diamonds, and rubies, and is said to be worth £63,900. All waste paper in the United States Department of State, which is of a private or diplomatic nature, is burned in the open fireplace in the secretary's own room. Nothing is wasted in China. - The stones of various fruits and the shells of nuts are cleaned, dried, and carved into ornaments of the most graceful kind. , The real discoverer of the American con- tinent is said to be neither Columbus nor Lief Ericson, but undoubtedly_ Biarni, a Norwegian. He visited the- _coast of Nova Scotia A.D. 995. - There has-been considerable discussion as to who invented- spectacles and who had the pleasure of wearing the first pair. The honour is generally awarded to an Italian named Salvino Armati, who died in 1317. An Important Scientifis;aDiaco4e3r Nerviline, Y the latest discovered - pain remedy, -nay safely challenge the world for a substitute that will - as speedily and promptly check inflammatory action. The highly penetrating properties of Nerviline make it never failing in all cases of rheuma- tism, neuralgia, cramps, pains in the back and side, headache, lumbago, etc. It pos- sesses marked stimulating and counter irritant properties, and at once subdues all inflammatory action.

Sold by all druggists and country dealers. Queer Things About Frogs. A remarkable thing about these creatures is that the larger part of the breathing is done through the skin. In fact, it is said that this supply of air is a necessary addi- tion to that taken in by ordinary breathing, as the latter does not supply sufficient air to support -life in a frog. Another peculiar thing about the skin of a frog is its power- ful absorption of water. This is due, of course, to the numberless minute pores with which their skin is provided. It has been proved that a frog can thus soak up half of its weight of water in an hour. The soaking of water is what gives the frog's skin, such a cold, clammy, and uncanny feeling when handled, and it explains a strange thing. Though a bull -frog were poked with a red-hot iron, it would not feel it enough to move out of its tracks, for the moisture on the skin forms a kind of film of vapor between it and the iron,which it takes time to heat through, and so the frog would not feel pain from the heat.. Yet, if hot water is dropped upon him, he will instantly jump from pain, as this heat at once strikes into the skin. A frog has another safeguard against drying up—that is, a kind of interior sack for storing water. Like the camel, it thus keeps a -supply which carries it over many, a dry place, when it would otherwise lose all its mois- ture and die. The water is as pure sad tasteless as that of any spring.—[St. Nicho- las. Bic Figures- The long-suffering stomachs of the United States accommodate every year 600 tons of nux vomica, There are a million more men than wom- en in the United States. They miss 37,- 000,000 buttons por annum and swear 153,- 000,000 oaths in nearly 1,000 dialects of 73 languages. The State of Illinois will use this year more than 4,000,000 barrels of beer, or enough to float a navy. There is room enough in Texas for the .entire population of the world, five acres to a family, and plenty ois'`room left for parks, and the State could be made to feed them all. - Eight shootings in the Scottish highlands pay • $139,000 rental for a five weeks' season. There are 22,000,000 soldiers in arms in The little plant which is said by scientist to cause blindness belongs to the lowes order of fungi. The propagation—simply by division—is very rapid, and its growth in the tissues covering the eyeball causes such irritation and congestion as to .cut off the supply of nutriment to the clearer part of the eye, so that the local death of the part, with consequent destruction of the power of vision, follows often in a few days or even hours. So far as is known it is carried only by infection—it must be plant- ed directly on a suitable soil before it can grow. This, in brief, is what is known of the bacterial cause of blindness.

Tne earliest standing army in Europe was that of Macedonia, established about 358 B.C. by Philip, father of Alexander the Great.

At a recent meeting of the Palestine Ex- ploration Fund in London Mr. Bliss .de- clared that the discovery of the mound of Tel Hesy, in Southern Palestine, would en- able the explorers to "dig up the sources of the Book of Genesis." Amid- all the evidence discovered by Mr. Bliss of the civilisation of that remote age—wine press- es,alkali burning and innumerable others— by far the most curious is the disclosure of an iron blast furnace, so arranged as to give strong evidence of being, intended to heat, in its descent, a blast of outside air forced through passages, before entering the chamber at the level where tuyeres are usually found. " If this theory be correct," says. Mr. Bliss, " we find 1400 years before Christ the use of the hot-air blast -instead of cold. air, which is called . a modern im- provement in iron manufacture due to Neilson and patented in 1828.—[Chicago Herald. - - .An Awkward Situation. Baron Dowse once was a judge where the accused could only understand Irish, and an interpreter was accordingly sworn. The prisoner said something to the interpreter. and the later replied.

My lord said the interpreter, beginning to tremble, " It had nothing to do with the case." "If don't answer I'll commit you; sir.
