gon, probably a usurping officer of
the army, had succeeded Shalman-
eser the year before. Samaria was
not destroyed. The inhabitants who
were carried away in captivity were
replaced by foreign eoloniits, under
Assyrian governors.
Placed them in Halah—North of
Thapsacus, on the Euphrates. Sar-
gon reported the number as about
27,000. The record of these whole-
sale deportations of men, women,
and children, flocks and wagons, is
preserved on the tablets in Sar-
gon's palace at Khorsabad. The

Khabour, a river in northern As-
syria, flowing into the Euphrates.

of the warnings end exhortations

PINEAPPLE'S MANY VIRTUES.
Invaluable in Destroying Poison-
ous Tissues as in Diphtheria.
Fresh pineapple juice has great
value as .a digestive. A small
amount will digest, a, considerable
piece of •steak or any other animal
tissue. Boiling, however, seems to
kill the enzymes in the pineapple,
so that after canning ,it loses its
digestive power.
The peculiar property of pine-
apple juice makes it of valuein
many ways. For instance, in diph-
theria, it is used as a •,garg,le, and
the diphtheria mernbra,ne disap-
pears like magic at its touch. It
seems to have the power of picking
out all non -living aninial tissues
and rapidly digesting them, leav-
ing all living tissues. in cases
of quinsy, pineapple juice digests
all poisonous tissue, often giving
quick eelief.
Sometimes it is not best to incise
or lance a boil, and the yellow cap
may Often remain -epee the boil
without opening, holding back the
pus. The application of pineapple
juice invariably establishes free
rainage uithin a 811011, time.

LIVELY PLO WEBS.
A New Species Discovered in an
African Forest.
Natures protective schemes are
varied and curious, and deceive the
human as well as the animal intel-
ligence. J. W. Gregory in "The
Great Rift Vallee' describes a new
flower -which he came across in an
African forest. He says:
Walking through the woods, nay
attention was attracted by a large
brightly colored flower like a fox-,'
glove. It had been raining heavily,'
and everything was so sodden with *
moisture that collecting was use-
less. I would have passed this
specimen had I not noticed some
white, fluffy patches below the
flower, which I recognized as a cer-
tain kind of lichen which does not
usually grow on flower stems, 1.1
pushed my stick through the bush
to pull the flower toward me, when,
to ray surprise, all the flowers and
buds jumped off in all directions.
There were similar clusters near,
and when Mr. Watson came up, r
pointed out one and asked him iff
Ito knelt; its -genus. He eaid he did'
not, although he had seen it beforee
He tried to pick one, and was as
surprised at the result as I.
The arrangement of the ineect,
colony was that, of green buds',
above and pink flowers below. Wei
never would have dreamed thati
they were insects, although Mr.
Watson was an enthusiastic botan-
The female lays its eggs as it,
walks up the stem; the lowest',
hatch first, which fact explains the'
apparent indifference in flowers'
and buds. Whether the insects can
resume this arrangement on the
stem after having been disturbed,
I do not know. We watched for
hours, but not one came back.
