The Vocal Cords. Vocal power depends on the vocal cords. When they are stretched, so ; narrowing the exit from the air pasI sage, the voice is high pitched. When j they are pulled widely asunder the voice is deep. When they are flaccid the voice is nearly last. Os course, voices vary individually in pitch and resonance, but power is always affected by the state of the general health, and, broadly speaking, loss of nerve tone is more often responsible than anything else far vocal weakness. Fast living, mental strain and similar conditions occasion such impairment of the nervous system. Breathing foul air, especially air saturated with tobacco smoke, is bad for the cords. Temperature and Butterflies. Some remarkably interesting experiments are reported from Zurich showing the effect of temperature on the development of species among butterflies. The experiments have been eon tinued through a period of about fourteen years, and it is found, for instance that the common small tortoise shell butterfly if subjected to warmth of from 37 degrees to 39 degrees centigrade develctps into the variety found in Sardinia, while those bred in a temperature of from 4 degrees to G degrees produce the Lapland variety. Similar ly the application of heat produced the Sardinian form of the swallowtail butterfly and the Syrian form of the Apollo. The Highest Bedroom. On the summit of Mont Blanc is the highest bedroom in the world. It was built for Alpinists who have been overtaken by a storm on the summit or have lost their way in the snows. A large camp bed occupies all the floor of the room, and can contain twenty-two persons. Every stick and stone had to be carried up by porters from Chamonix. The work of construction, which lasted two years, was dangerous to the workmen. During its erection the building was demolished twice and filled with snow nine times. The Peach and the Vegetarian.

The Kite a Maater ot the Art oi Soaring. "In the summer of 1872 I was visit Ing on the At arm isp.'.ugs reservation In eastern Oregon," says a writer. "The residences of the government employees were In a deep valley between table lauds through which the water courses had cut deep canyons. I climbed up on one of these tables, the edge of which was in most places perpendicular for ten, twenty and more feet, and as I stood there in a strong breeze blowing against the face of the slope a small hawk came gliding along eight or ten feet above the edge and following the course of the edge, and he kept on until he was little more than a rod away from me. He seemed to be making no effort except a little balancing and turning in order to steer himself. The explanation seemed to me very simple. Just there at the edge there was a strong, sharply ascending current which enabled him to use wind and gravity against each other "In the autumn of that year I went to Fuchau, China, and there I found th“ citv frequented by a spec.es or large bird which we call a kite.
