WHERE MANY HUMAN SKELETONS AKE PREPARED FOK SALE. Accorrespondent of the Medical Press, ot Lon- don, communicates to that journal the following account of a skeleton manufactory, which he re- cently had an opportunity of visiting. ‘The es- tablishment 1s located in the plain of St. Denis, France, and consists of large wooden buildings, comprising one main structure and several an- exes, ‘The large hall contains two rows of immense kettles, the emanations from which are, as might be supposed, far from agreeable, even to an olfac- tory apparatus used to the atihosphere of a dis- secling-room. ‘These kettles serve for ridding the bones of their adhering tendons through boiling. ‘The disarticulation of the skulls, which 1s per- formed separately, constitutes the most delicate partof the operation.

After being scraped the bones are bleache either through the faction of chioride of line for cheap skeletons, or that of the sun for high-priced ones, Finally they go to a special work-room, where they are assembled, mounted upon brass, and articulated, ‘These final operations require a profound know- ledge of osteology, along with an artistic eye, In | fact, It is necessary to select from a collection of all sorts of bones those that can be well enough as- | sembled to look as if they came from one apd the Same individual, ‘The others are sold. singly for Uhe use of students of limited means, who are con- tent with a portion of an unmounted skeleton, It 4s curious to find that sex has a great influence on the market value of the bones, a beautitul female skeleton being actually worth’ 20 to 25 per cent. more than a mnale one of corresponding quality.

Bats in cold climates hibernate during the win- ter, says a writer in the San Francisco Call; in other words, they are enabled to enter a dormant State and live for months without eating. 80 com- plete 1s this sleep that in cases examined the most delicate instrument failed to detect breathing on the part of the animal, and in another instance the bat was placed under water without, any sp- Parent harm resulting from the extended bat! he deep sleeps are generally passed in trunks of trees or caves, and in the latter myriads of bats are often found. AS soon as the insect supply 18 cut off, at the commencement of cold weather, the bais take to the caves and do not appear until spring; but in this country they are out all win- ter, perhaps retiring during unusually cold spells. Bats have their value, and devour a large number of insects, trom the mosquito to the larger forms. Some of ‘the Atnerican Indians do not object to roast bat, and the big fruit bats of the Indian peninsula are considered great luxuries by the natives, As these animals have a stretch of ‘Wing of five feet, 1t must require no Mttle moral courage to eat one. In the early geological ages some remarkable Datlike creatures existed, though they were tn reality reptiles; yet some found east of the Rocky Mountains were, as far as appearances go, enormous toothless bats. "One American form had a. spread of Wing of 22 feet. The remains of one of these giants can be seen in the museum of Yale College, with another from Kurope that 1s doubtless the most remarkable flyer over discovered or even thought of. Unlike its American cousin, 1t was mall, and resembled a bat with a pelican-like bill rmed with sharp teeth. ‘The tail, however, was the most Wonderful feature, Iu was longer ‘than the body, and terminated in a veritabie paddle, that was a fac-simile of a tennis racket, and served Uns curious fyer as a rudder. — eee Humoring a Patient. Dr. Crawford, of Baltimore, is related to have advised a patient, who fancied he was dying of liver disease, to travel, says the Philadelphia News. On returning he appeared to be quite well, “but upon receiving information of the death of a twin brother, who had actually died of a scirrhous liver, he immediately staggered, and falling down, eried out that he was dead, and had, as he always expected, died of a liver complaint. Dr. Crawford being sentt for, immediately attended; and on be- ing informed éf the notion which had seized the hypochondriac, exclaiined, “Ob, yes, the gentie- man is certainly dead, and tt 1s more than proba- ble his liver was the death of him. How- ever, to ascertain the fact, I will hasten to cut him open before putrefaction takes place.” He called for a carving knife, and whetting it, a8 a butcher would when about to cut open a dead calf, he stepped up to the pa- tent and began to open his waistcoat. ‘The hypo- chondriae became so terribly frightened that be leaped up with the agility of a rabbit, and crying out “Murder! murder! murder!” ran off with & ‘speed that would have defied a score of doctors to catch him. After running a considerable distance until he was almost exhausted, he halted, and not finding the doctor at his heels soon became com- osed.” From that period this gentleman was never Enown, to complain of hig iver, nor had he for more than twenty Years afterward any symptoms of this disease. —— Giants and Pigmies. From the Chicago Herald. It happens somehow that we all take great interest in persons who are extremely small and in persons who arp extraordinarily large Midgets and giants without number have found their way into song, story, tradition, children’s books and dime museums. La Nature, the French sclentific journal, calls attention to the fact that teratology, or the study of monsters, finds no satis- factory explanation of the causes of great varla- Uons in the height of human beigns such as are frequently met.’ If we are to believe ancient writers, continues La Nature, a large number of giants ‘ind giantesses have reached statures that are extraordinary even for this class of per- sons. Pliny speaks of a giant named Gabara, who was 9% feet in height, and two other giants, Posio and Secundilla, who’ were half a foot taller. ‘The young female gidntess cited by Garoplus was, according to him, 10 feet 11 Inches in height. Act cording to Lecat, there was once a Scotch giant Who was 12% fect in height, but if seems proba. bie that the ‘heights attribiited to these various giants are greatly exagyerated. On the contrary, Wwe can consider Statements of heights of from 8% to 84 feet as authentic. In 175a there was exhib- ited at Rouen a giant 8% feet in height. A Swed- fsh i mentioned by Buffon was 8x feet in height, and this, too, was the stature of the Fin- nisi giant, Cujannus; and the King of Prussia, Frederick William, tad a guard of nearly thé same height. ‘rhe giant Gille, of ‘Trent in the ‘Tyrol, was over 84 feet in height, and this’ was the stature of one of thé ards of the Duke of Brunswick. ‘The giant vinckelmeler, who is now exhibiting at Paris, and who 1s 8% feet in height, may be taken, then, as an example of the highest stature reached in ‘the human species. At the opposite extremity we find a large number of dwarfscited as having been less than 20 inches in helght. Some of these are Suld to have been but 16,or even 12 inches; but such dwarfs have been but monsters with atrophied legs or with a curved spine, or children whose de- velopment has been arrested and whom thelr showmen aged by some years, The famous Gen. Yom ‘Thumb was an example, as are like- wise the Royal Midgets, recently exhibited at Paris, and the litue Princess Pauiiua, But if, "in the long list of dwarfs of whom “a description Deeh preserved, we search for the smallest, even after it had redched an adult age, and one that at the same time pos- sessed a normal conformation, we shall find one especially that merits particular attention, We refer to the celebrated dwart Borulawsky, Who Was born in 1789 and died 1n 1837, and ‘never was over twenty-nine Inches in height. He was per- fectly well formed; his head was well propor- Uoned; his eyes were beautiful and full of tire; his features were handsome, and his physiognomy Was intellectual and portrayed the gayety, polite- ness and refinement of his inind. He was straight and well formed, and his knees, legs and feet were Of the exact proportions of those of a well-built and vigorous man. If we take a mean between these two extremes, the giant Winckelmeler @: feet) and the dwarf Borulawsky (29 inches), it wilt be Seen that it 1s 534 feet, and the difference in the heights is 6 feet 1 ineh, eee A Murderous Cat. IP TRIES TO SUCK THE BREATH OF A YOUNG CHILD AND FIGHTS WITH THE MOTHER. Mrs. Atkinson, of Allegheny, Pa, entered her nursery last Tuesday, and was horrified at what she saw. The family cat had attacked her six- year-old child, who was lying sick on the bed, ‘The cat was sitting on the breast of the boy. Each of its fore-paws was firmly fixed in the child's cheek and {ts mouth was glued to that of the boy. He was struggling as much a8 he could, and with one hand was tryi \ push the cat away. As soon as the anim: saw the lady it showed fight. It scratched the child's face in a terrible manner, and springing upon the mother bit her on the shoulder, “She finally beat 1tof by stabbing it with a pair of shears, ‘The mother found the child unconscious. Her cries brought assistance, and after restora- tives had been administered ‘the child was able talk. He knew nothing except that the cat had wakened him up, trying, as he sald, “to take my preath.” ‘The little felldw 1s in a precarious n A Juvewrie Sraixz.—A resident of Boston has been in the habit of giving his five-year old boy & nickel every time he brought his TB UO ‘The other day the boy struck for more pay on, ac- count of the near advent of a circus, e indul- nt nt refused any advan and for two Says toned bis own suivoary ang ues tke neke undertook to do the work had to be There Was for only $10 8 let- to his ‘Jos. lapoleon was mans ie ae ‘sole johns, N.

Cot ton Mather Smith in the The Epoch. It is the fashion to cry down pie and accuse itot causing all the dyspepsia in the country; but there is ple and pie, and good ple does not cause dyspepsia. It is, moreover, one of the most pala- table dishes that can be set before a true and patriotic American.

SOME ERRONEOUS IDEAS CORRECTED. Tt 1s an almost universal practice, says a writer in the Popular Science News, to have @ vessel of water attached to furnaces and stoves for the pur- Pose of moistening the air of rooms heated by them. The common notion that the aqueous vapor purifles the air in any way 1s, of course, absurd; but the possibility that it may render the air heated by the furnace more healthful and easier ‘to breathe may be worthy of consideration. ‘Tne following calculation, based upon conditions actually existing ina residence, may serve to show the fallacy of tiifs belief. In the house referred to eight rooms, with an aggregate capacity of 16,500 cubic 1eet, are heated by a hot-air turnace, which evaporates one pailful of water, weighing eighteen pounds, daily. “At a temperature of 70. as. ‘suming the air to be one-half saturated with mois- ture, the total amount of water contained in it will be about twelve pounds. ‘This would apparently show that the 18 pounds of water evaporated would have a marked effect upon the hygrometic state of air, but it must be remembered that a constant current of fresh air 18 foes eee the furnace and into the house. it would be a low estimate to assume that the air is completely changed every hour, and therefore only an additional three-quarters of a pound of ‘aqueous Vapor would be present in the air at any oue time, which would only increase the percent- age of Inoisture from 50 to 53.1 per cent, an amount too small to be of any consequence. An actual test made on two successive days with the dry and wet bulb hygrometer showed that the percentage of motsture in the air was the same, whether Water was evaporated in the fur- hace Or not. Tn a close, unvenulated rooin, the Im- pure air may be easier tolerated by the lungs when saturated with moisture; but with the constant supply of fresh out-of-door air with which every apartment should be eae. any artificial addi- ton of aqueous vapor is both unnecessary and useless; and only in exceptional cases is it likely to produce any beneficial effect upon the health of the persohs breathing it. American Girls Abroad, Paris Cor. Chicago Inter-Ocean. American girls—abroad—are just a little, a very Uttle, self-asserting. They are so sure of carrying all before them that inthe process they do not mind upsetting other people's furniture, and even walking on other people’s corns. They are so in- tumately convinced that a kind Providence created the world and all the world contains for their Spectal benefit that they consider it am absolute ght to make use of that world and its contents; they do not mind disturbing their neigh! literally and figuratively speaking; they will give a rendezvous to their friends and placidly forget all about 1t; ask a service, accept a kindness and never thank the person who renders the service or offers the kindness, And all that smilingly, sweetly, because it is their right to accept always and under all circumstances. If, by chance, any old world inhabitant marvels at this sans-gene and grumbles about it, the American girl is quite astonished; she 1s even indignant, indignant us a Sovereign whose subjects fret and’ fume under & lawful yoke, +0. A Welshman’s Good Luck. HE DESERTS, MAKES A FORTUNE OUT WEST AND GOES HOME TO CLAIM ANOTHER FORTUNE. A Welshman who gave his name as H. Lloyd re- lated a romantic story in Pittsburg Wednesday. He was en route from Oregon to New York, whence he sails for his native land, He 1s thirty-seven years of age, and before he had reached his major- ity was placed on board an English man-of-war. He deserted, ana coming to America ship on board a merchantman. He took several ecto on her, and thirteen years ago went to California, where for three years he lived the life of a cow- boy. He tried prospecting for gold six yeara. He and three companions struck a rich vein in Grant County, Oreg. As a resujt they now each have a daily income of $50, whfle Lioyd says he has accumulated a fortune of $100,000. _Kecently he was informed that his presence Was desired at home, as by the death of a relative he had been left one-third of a large fortune.

Deputy Coroner M. Wil- tt thinks the empty wallet found in the station agent's pocket 1s proof that he was robbed of $50 or more.
