ENTERTAINING FACTS AND INFORMATION OF POPULAR INTEREST.

A Most Curious :iu:l lictUHrkable Plant TThfch Prnilnces the l^urgeet «»f All Tree Fruit* 8H! (iroir* Only on Two Small

Iftlaiil« itt till? Indian ((cc.'in.

Several ago the curiosity of those who sailed the water* nf the Indian ocean was often exdta! bj* the appearance of something like a huge ilouhlc-coooanat. of forty pounds weight, floating on the surface. Similar fruit was found occasionally washt-d up on the shores of Ceylon and the adjacent coast, hut no one had ever seen a tree thus fruited. The fruit was callcd cocosule mer, or "sea cocoauut," says Popular Science News, which gives the following facts in regard to these mysterious nuts, together with tbe accompanyillustrations.

In the year 1712 French navigators discovered the See he lies group of islands, and on two of these found lar«e mini hern of a

Jfcyv if»i%

TIIK noUHLK COCOAXUT PALM.

Hpecies of palm learingthe famous "double cocoa nuts." It is not a little remarkable that the species, HO far as known, grows only on the small islands where it was lirst seen, and the plant has been named accordingly Lodoieea Sechellurum.

Since th'- lime of its discovery much curious information has

Ihhmi

gathered re-

gnnling the parent plant which produces this largest known of all tree fruits. It must vegetntu thirty yearn before a flower bud is prod Hired. During this time it builds a columnar trunk which, since it must support the heavy fruit and resist tho force of tropical gales, needs to be of extraordinary strength. To compensate in a measure for the consequent rigidity a unique arrangement acting like a ball and socket joint is developed tf. the base. The lower end of the trunk is hemispherical and fits into a sort of bowl composed of extremely hard material like the shell of the nut,and pierced by holes the ki/.e of a thimble, through which the roots make their way into the surrounding soil. This arrangement. permits the tree to sway in respoiiM to strong winds in spite of the rigidity of the trunk. The maximum height of the tree, about one hundred feet, is attained in about as many years. This statement, however, applhv only to tho male, or staminate. trees, the female ones being somewhat shorter, in order that tho pollen which is transferred by the wind may more readily reach the pistils.

After the ovules are fertilized ten years are required to ripen the fruit. In four years they reach their full size, which is about, eighteen inches long by tho same in breadth, and nearly as much iu thickness, but. at this time the nut is soft and filled with semi-transparent jelly. This becomes firm and edible like the meat of a cocoanut, and is surrounded by an extremely hard shell, which iu turn is covered by a fibrous husk. As many as eleven of these enormous fruits may be produced nt.one time, thus making a cluster of between four and live hundred pounds weight. An entire nut. will hold three or four gallons, and leing very durable they /serve well as water kegs.

Protection.

Tho old idea in the use of lightning rods w:e» "to draw the lightning," and, by tWans of the rod, couduct it harmlessly fiway from the building thus protected, flint the old rods often failed, ami this resuit a writer in Science attributes to the fact that the question of dissipating, rather than conducting, the electricity was ignored. He says:

Keeping clearly in view the fact that in providing protection itgaiust lightning wo must furnish some, means by which the [electrical energy may 1h harmlessly dissipated. tho question arises, "Can an irnkiroved form le given to the rod so that it. ^hall aid in this dissipation?''

As the electrical energy involved maniifpsts itself on the surface of conductors, Ithe improved rod should lie metallic but, fiostivul of making a large rod, suppose that [""To make it comparatively small iu sise, so hat the total amount of metal runutug [join the top of the house to some point a liittln below the foundations shall not ex[ceed one pound.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

Bow and When the Familiar Word "Microb«" Came Into Being TJie word "microbe" dates from 1878. It was born on Monday at half past- 4 the afternoon, in the assembly hall of the Academy of Science at Paris. It was in the month of February. "I Ftill remember the day," says the writer in The Great Divide, who makes the foregoing interesting statement."1' "The weather was cloudy and cold, and the gas had just been lit. I still see, as If I were there, Charles Sedillot, the surgeon of Strasburg, member of the section of medi cine^ slowly rise and read, with his heavy and unwieldy voice, the title of a memoir, 'Application of the Labors of M. Pasteur to Surgery.' "Living organisms, coming in contact with sores," he said, "bring on serious complications. I atn going to show this plainly, but in the first place I must say a word about atmospheric germs. These germs have been called by so many names that one gets lost among them. For example, they are called schizophytes, micrococci chroococci, microsphores, desmo bacteria, bacteria, bacteridia, leptotbrixes, clodothrlxes, biggiatoa,

micro-organisms,

muce-

dinea, aerobia, anaerobia, monads, bacilli, vibrionesand other names which I pass by. "I believe it would be an advantage, added Sedillot, "to substitute for all these denominations a simpler generic name for current use. I therefore propose the general name microbe, from micros, small, and bios, life. I have consulted ray friend Littre on this point, and he approves my choice." Then during his whole lecture Sedillot exclusively used the word microbe.

Like all new things, this word was much discussed. M. Pasteur used it once out of courtesy, a second time for the sake of convenience. This was all that was needed for microbe to gain ground, and it is well known what progress it has made since 1878. Let us render to Cmsar the things that are Caesar's—the Inventor of microbe is Charles Sedillot.

The Oldest Newspaper in the World Inter Ocean is authority for the statement, that the oldest newspaper in the world isTheKing-Pau, or "Capital

Sheet,"

published in Pekin, China. It was first printed in the year 911 A. D., but for many years was issued only at irregular intervals. Since the year 1351, however, it has been published weekly and of uniform size. During the present century, and perhaps longer, it issued a daily edition, published about noon and selling for two kesh, or something less than one c®nt. This journal has always confined its contents to orders in council and court news until June, 1882, when it was reorganized by imperial order and issued in a new form and on a new plan. Since this change the paper apjjears in three editions daily.

The first, issued early in the morning, is called ITsing-Pau (business sheet), and contains trade prices, exchange quotations and all manner of commercial intelligence. This issue is printed on yellow paper. The second edition, coming out during the forenoon, is also printed on yellow paper, and is devoted to official announcements, fashionable intelligence and general news. This is called the Shuen-Pau or "official sheet." The third edition appears late in the afternoon, is printed on red paper, and bears the name Titani Pau (country sheet). This consists of extracts from the earlier editions, and is largely subscribed for in the provinces. All these issues of the King-Pau—for each edition t»f- the Journal bears tho original name in addition to its own especial title—are edited by six members oft he National Academy of Sciences, appointed and salaried by tho Chinese government. The total number of copies printed daily varies Iwtween 111,000 and 14.000.

Hnrbert»' Polos.

Of all symbols none is so ancient as the barber's pole few have caused so much antiquarian research. According to the "Athenian Oracle" tho ancient Romans were so benefitted by the firSt barber who came to their city that they erected a statue to his memory. Anciently barbers acted in a dual capacity, as hairdressers and surgeons. In Rome they were wont to hang out, at the end of their poles, basins, that weary anil wounded traveler^ might observe them at a distance. The parti-colored staff is said t,o indicate that surgery was carried on within, the color stripe representing the fillet elegantly entwined round the patient's arm while he was phlebotomized. An illuminated missal of the time of Edward I has a plate representing a patient, staff in hand and arm in fillet, undergoing phlebotomy.

Barbel's proper—that is, hairdressers and barler surgeons—were distinguished by the color of the bands on the poles, the former having a blue and the latter a red. As far back as 179" Iwirbers and surgeons were compelled by statute to display their poles, the latter likewise affixing a gallipot and red rag at the end. The fabulist Gay, in his fable on the "Goat Without a Heard,." alluding to a

Iwirber's

shop, speaks of tho

red rag pendent from the pole.

Half a Million Immigrants In £890. According to Bradstreet's, during 1890 the total number of immigrants arriving in the United States from foreign countries was4iH,G3f», again over the preceding year of 63,000. or 15 per cent The bulk of the increase was found in arrivals from three countries iu central and southern Kmope—Austria Huugary, Poland, Italy— and, in fact, these three countries may be credited alone with supplying more than the entire increase noted, as their total gain over lSS^ was 69,000, or 4,000 more than the total net gain. The arrivals of British immigrants shower! a heavy falling off. German arrivals gained slightly, and Russian immigrants were also more numerous than in IS8&. The total number of British immigrants was 190,567, a decrease from 1SS9 of 13 per cent. The statistics of arrivals at leading ports show that New York received 396,393, or nearly 81 per cent, of the total Boston received 80,971, or 6.8 percent. Baltimore, 29,125, or 6 per cent., and Philadelphia, 23,434, or 4.7 per cent,

A Short Sketch of a Famous French Woman Whose Name Is Closely Linked with the C&ose of Liberty and Whose

X*ast Words Hare Become Historic.

Among the leaders of the French revolution many were actuated by the noblest motives, and one of^-the loftiest of these was Mme. Roland. Her maiden name WJIS Jeanne Manon Philipou, and she was born in Paris in 1736. The little Manon was a remarkably bright child, and read everything she could get hold of. She could only be diverted from ber books by the offer of flowers, and this ission fur boobs and flowers 'remained with her through life. As a young woman she was tall and graceful and of a most fascinating countenance and amiable demeanor. In 17^1 she married M. Roland. In 17S9 the revolution

MME. ROLAND IN PRISON.

broke out, and M. and Mme. Roland threw themselves into the movement with great enthusiasm. The revolutionists themselves, however, soon divided into opposing parties, one containing Robespierre, Marat, Danton and other ferocious men, who used murder and great cruelty to advance their cause, and the other the Girondist party, which advocated principles of law and order, to which tho Rolands belonged.

The former party determined to get rid of their opponents, and an attempt was made to prove Mme. Roland and others guilty of a plot against the nation. Our cut shows this courageous woman as she appeared when confined in the famous prison of the Conciergerie, just after her friends had been sent to the guillotine. In this prison there was an iron railing separating the part in which she was confined from that of the male prisoners, and she conversed with them through this railing, encouraging them by her noble sentiments. Though no treason could be proved against her, she was condemned to death for her faithfulness to the cause of the Girondists.

When Mme. Roland was being taken to the guillotine for execution there was in the same cart with her a man who was in much fear. At tho guillotine it was considered a privilege to be allowed to die first, so as to be spared the shock of seeing the blood of others. Mme. Roland was granted this favor, but she bogged that the man, who was greatly terrified, might go first. The executioner demurred to this, but complied when she said, with a smile, "You cannot, I am sure, refuse the last request of a lady." When her turn came she gassed on tho colossal statue of liberty that stood near the guillotine, and exclaimed, "Ah, Liberty 1 how many crimes are committed in thy name!"

This heroic woman perished on the lOt of November, 1793.

The Camp Game.

Good Housekeeping tells how to play this game Select two gentlemen as captains, who in turn call the names of those they desire to enter their particular cam p. When a division of the company has thus been made the camps separate, each having one room. They then select some word or words denoting a subject or objfect, as, for example, the lotxd pedal of the piano in the Profile House in the White mountains, or the dragon fifes painted on the ceiling of the bathroom in the House of Pansa in Saratoga, or any other thing seemingly impossible to guem.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Prolonged Xervous Troubles Induced by »Sio:le Dose of Cocaine. At a meeting of the Paris Academy of Medicine M. Hallopeau presented a communication in which he related a case that, in his opinion, showed that the poisonous effects of cocaine, even when they came oh. acutely after a single dose, might last a considerable time.

A man had about eight milligrams of hydrochlorato of cocaine injected into his gnm as a preliminary to the extraction of a tooth. Toxic symptoms at once supervened. There was intense precordial oppression, with thready pulse, extreme excitement and loquacity the patient walked about the room, hitting out at random with his fists, and crying out that he was dying. In ten minutes he became quiet and the tooth was extracted, after which he was able to walk home, arriving there, however, in a state df extreme prostration. Then ensued a train of uervous symptoms, such as continual headache, intractable sleeplessness, bad taste in the mouth, ^vith occasional attacks of excitement.nccoidpamed by giddiness, faintness and a sense of ihv^ pending death. All brain work was impossible the patient could not do the simplest sum in arithmetic, and was in a state of profound depression. A sense of numbness in the hands and forearms was almost incessant. It was two months after the injection before the least improvement was observed, and then progress toward recovery was slow.

M. Hallopeau thinks the symptoms indicate a poisonous action of cocaine on the nervous centers, and especially the brain. As it is impossible to suppose that so small a quan-ity of the drug should have remained in circulation, heis driven to conclude either that it was stored up in the cells of certain nervous centers or that it produced in thom persistent lesions.

An Interesting Statement,

Lord Greville writes to an English journal as follows: "Ou Jan. 14 I was bitten in the leg by a retriever dog and immediately afterward it bit several dogs in the neighborhood, all of which have since been destroyed. The retriever was shot the same day, and I left for Paris, taking the dead retriever with me to the Pasteur institute, where I immediately underwent inoculation, subsequently repeated twenty-one times. A portion of the retriever's brain was injected into a rabbit and a guineapi^ by Feb. 3 both had died of acute rabies, proving to demonstration that the dog was mad that bit me on Jan. 14. Having seen the remarkable statistics of the number of patients who have undergone M. Pasteur's treatment, and the infinitesimal number who have succumbed, probably from the Pasteur treatment being too long delayed. I ask you in the name of humanity to exorcise the great influence at your comman to induce the pepple of the United Kingdom at once to establish a Pasteur institute iu this'country. Many thousands have been saved agonizing deaths and owe their lives, as I do, to the Pasteur treatment."

A Startling Objection to Dr. Koch'sXymph. "The discovery that Dr. Koch's lymph sometimes drives tubercle bacilli from the tissues into the blood, and thus mobilizes the enemy, so to speak, along a grand trunk railway over the whole body, is the most startling objection to the cure that has yet appeared.

confirms and explains Pro-

fessorVirchow's observation of newly developing tubercles in different parts of the bodies of patients who had died after lymph injections. The hopes of the consumptive are thus dashed by the fear that in extirpating the disease from one quarter it may be given a fresh hold in others. But in the same day's news the sanguine patient finds a pretext for new hopes. France promises to succeed if Germany has failed. It is well known that goats cannot take consumption. What simpler than to transfuse goat's bl jod into the patient?" Thus a clever writer describes the present status of the Koch cure.

The Form of the Human Bar. The crumpled and crushed form of the human ear is accounted for by Professor H. D. Garrison as a result of the habit of lying on the side of the head, which habit has been induced by the increasing weight of the brain. The question, says the author in his paper on thesubject read at the American association, had originally been whether the animals through which it had been developed would profit most by large brains or by perfect and symmetrical hearing apparatus, and had been promptly decided by natural selection in favor of large brains.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Bow a Formal Dinner Is Carried Oat from Beginning to End. The people who "keep up with society" and know all its latest fads are comparatively few, yet there are subjects every one dislikes to betray ignorance by asking about. Just how to give a dinner or luncheon from beginning to end, for instance, is a puzzle one does not care to submit to a friend. The following hints given by Tho Tribune may therefore be useful and are interesting as showing how a formal dinner is carried through in New York:

Except in the very crash of the season, two weeks ahead is quite time enough to send out invitations for a dinner. Unless it is a very grand affair, or you intend giving a series, the invitations should be written in the first person a written invitation in the third person is stilted and is not good form. Eight o'clock is the usual hour nowadays, although we follow fast on English habits, and half past 8 is frequently named. Ten is a vesy good number for a dinner table, as it brings the men and women in right order. Eight is a bad number on this account, as you will see by making a diagram of your table. Fourteen is also a right number sixteen again brings two ladies and two gentlemen together.

In arranging your table there are only a few essential rules to remember. One is to keep the decorations low the high epergnes and lofty barriers between the guests have happily quite gone out of fashion. If you wish to give a "pink" or "red" dinner, the decorations should all be of one color—the flowers, the shades for the candles and the shade for the hanging lamp.

Luckily for us, questions of precedence in this country are not de rigour as on the other side, and we are allowed to give tho seat of honor to the right of the host and faosteai to those we wish to distinguish.

The hostess invariably goes in last, and the host leads the way with the lady he honors.. Before coffee is (serred the hostess makes a sign to the lady on her husband's right and rises. Of course all Che men stand up. One of them opens the door and the ladies adjourn to the drawing room and have their coffee and gossip until the men appear after their smoke, about half an boor mfterwoixL All this seems, at coarse, veiy obvious bat English fashions hare only become general of late years, and the knowledge of these little details is not as general as oae would suppose,.

Thereby Hangs a Tale.

"And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot, And thereby bangs a talc."

And truly, "'tis a tale of woe," of one who had Catarrh in the Head, for many years,*and who really had been "rotting," froui hour to hour, until Br. Sage's Catarrh Remedy came to his notice. He u*ed it at iirst with slight signs of relief, but he persisted until a permanent cure was efiected, and the world was again pleasant to live iu. Froua his awful sutTering be was set free by the expenditure pi a few dollars in that incdniparablo remedy.
