Use Ps foid by druggists. id | Fal Crass Thompson's Eye Water Wilhelm Labes, a well-known Ger- man zoologist, has just published an interesting book ‘on the Island of He- ligoland, in which he .states, among other things, that the island is one of the largest graves for birds in the world. Millions of larches, snipes and thrushes are caught there every year. The birds are =old in the many hotels of the islands, and also largely ex- ported to England and the Continent. It is not seldom that from 10,000 to 15,600 are caught and killed in a sin- gle night. The authorities of some of tle towns where smallpox hag appeared have or- dered that all dogs and cats running at large shall be shot. This action is based on the well-established fact! that the hair of these animals offers a con- genial lodging place for disease germs, and they thus carry them about and increase tke spread of contagion. Physicians caution parents not to al- low pet dogs or cats to enter the room where a diphtheria or scarlet fever pa- tient is, and not to let their children play with dogs or cats that belong to the families where there has recently been a case of contagious disease. From the latest reports from Nyas- saland it appears that British Central Africa is in a fair way to become an industrial colony soon. ® The most re- cent move in the development of the country is a concession which has been granted by the Imperial Govern- ment for the construction of a line of railway from Chiromo to Blantyre, connecting the centre of the coffee plantations with the coast by way of the Shire and Zambesi rivers. Oper- ations are expected to begin toward the end of the year, and will probably | last for two years or so. Meanwhile, it is stated, experiments are being con- ducted with a line on’ the monorail principle, and it is also intended to es- tamslish a system of motor trolleys and traction engines for transport work in the protectorate. 3 Among the many suggestions offered to account for the swift expansion of the nebulous rings surrounding Nova Persei, none seems more captivating to the imagination than that of Profes- sor Kapteyn, who siiégests that the phenomenon may be due to the echoing of light. At the prebable distance of ‘Nova Persei from the earth the ob- - served velocity of the expansion exaet- ly equals the velocity of light. That being so, it is only necessary to sup- pose the space surrounding the new star to contain scattered nebulous or : meteoric ‘matter, from which the light of the explosion that produced the star is reflected to us at greater and greater distances from the star as the light ex pands around it. It is like the reflec, tion of the sound of an explosion tak- ing place in a hilly country, and com- ing to our ears in a succession of echoes as it reaches more and more distant ranges. T The continually increasing demand for india rubber, and the great inter- est manifested in all efforts to prevent waste of the trees from which rubber is derived, have led our consuls ip countries where these trees grow to collect many valuable facts concerning them. Consul Goldschmidt at La Guaira recently transmitted to Wash. ington some highly interesting state- ments about the rubber, or caoutchous, trees, of the upper Orinoco by Dr. Lu- cien Morisse, who has made extensive personal investigations in that region. Dr. Morisse makes the somewhat sur- prising statement that the prohibition of the Venezuelan Government against the felling of the trees is altogether unnecessary, because “it relates to an immense forest measuring upward of 74,000,000 acres, where caoutchoue ex- itstin abundance, and which it would require millions and millions of hands to exploit, whereas it only contains 3000 or 4000 Indians, not more than the tenth part of whom are engaged in the work.” A Useless Search. A discussion arose at a meeting of medical men who had assembled at the Philadelphia College of Physicians as to the utility of the X-ray on the battle field, and the surgeon, Dr. W. W. Keen, told this story: “After the battle of Gettysburg a corps under the command of a young physician, who had recently been appointed, was or- dered to collect the wounded. Among the disabled was a man who had been shot through the leg. .The young doc- tors proceeded to use his knife. After cutting for half an hour he was inter- rupted by the young soldier with: “Say, how much longer are you going to cut? ‘Until I get the bullet, re- plied the doctor. ‘Why, you fool, if that’s what you want I've got it in my pocket.” Sure enough, the bullet had lodged in the skin of the man's leg after passing through, and he had kept it as a souvenir.” Neglected Science For Perambulator. A man of science and his wife, a college-bred woman with an unabat- able interest in sociology and reforms, spent three entire evenings in trying to decide what kind of a baby car riage they should purchase for their infant son. The way in which those sober-minded persons went over eata- logues and price lists and gravely dis- cussed the comparative advantages of this and that make of carriage was & contradiction of everything that has been said against the baleful infiu- ence of the high education upon do mesticity.—New York Press.

BUILDING IS RETARDED. ‘ Demand for Steel Beyond Capacity of MiHs—Six Months Deliveries Accepted Only. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: Two large strikes scheduled to commence May 1 were averted at least temporarily and a number of smaller controversies have begun. This labor factor is the only seriously unfavorable one in the ie- dustrial situation, exerting considera- ble influence over the volume of trans- actions, and also tending to unsettle confidence. In seasonaple merohan- dise, especially dry goods and cloth- ing, warmer weather has stimulated dealings while outdoor work is prose- cuted. vigorously. Collections are more prompt &s a rule, fewer exten- sions being asked. Shipments are less delayed by trafic congestion and railway earnings thus far reported for April exceed last year’s by 7.2 per cent. Consumers of finished gteel products are compelled to place or- ders subject to the convenience of manufacturers and it is the exception when any early deliveries are prom- ised. An unprecedented amount of railway work is being done while the erectiqn of new buildings would be much more extensive if material were available. This structural work is on a record-breaking scale and prom- ises relief to the situation hereafter, since many of the plants under con- sideration will add to the productive capacity when completed. Pig iron has worked up to a higher point, Bes semer commanding $20 at Pittsburg on deliveries within six months, ow- ing to the full contracts held by the furnaces. Foreign dealers have shown much wisdom by making con- cessions in this market. Jobbers in dry goods have felt the effects of good weather, and a brisk trade has been done at steady prices, although no general advance has followed the rise in raw cotton or the restricted operations at woolen mills. Cereal prices have been less inflated by spec- ulation than they, were last week, yet a high level was maintained and only slight reactions occurred. Good for- eign crop conditions were calculated to weaken the tone. yet exports of wheat from the United States, flour included. amounted to 5,579,037 bush- els, against 4,132,357 bushels a year ago. Recent attractive prices have brought corn to market more freely than in preceding weeks, but receipts of 1,686,050 bushels for the week fall far short of the 2.378,564 bushels in the same week last year. The com- parieon as to the Atlantic exports is more striking, only 154,704 bushels going out during the week, against 2,560,211 a year ago. Cotton con- tinned advancing until there was a gain of $8.10 a bale over last year’s figure, when a trifling reaction oc- curred, but the tone continued strong. Failures in the United States this week were -225, against 212 last week, 261 the preceeding week and 226 the corresponding week last year, and in Canada 17, against 18 last week, 24 the preceding week and 24 last year.
