A DARWINIAN THEORY. YVI17 tl-e Drown In j: )ln« Altray* .il-o-.v* 1(1 III* H indu. The iistml . .ta that n drowning tunti Is stretching cat his hands for ahl or "hatching at straws” Is not altogether satisfactory. A possible explanation has lately been suggested, and this supposes that the drowning mati. losing all Ids acquired habits and even some of those Inherited from more recent ! parents. In his terror goes hack to the ; Instinctive movements of his arboreal j ancestors, and the movements of the drowning man are those of n frighten- j cd ape seeking safety by clinging to : the nearest tree. The movement Is certainly Instine j tlve, for It cun only be eliminated by ! considerable training and voluntary J efforts, and yet It Is fatal to the Indi vidual. for the specific gravity of no hitman body is so nearly that of water that the removal of the arms from the supporting fluid at once sinks the face beneath the surface. In cases of so called “cramps” the victim, often a | highly trained swimmer, generally j throws tip the hands, hut these cases nrc probably due to heart failure, and a | similar movement takes place on land i when the subject receives a fatal heart wound, and It Is even a common ex- | presslon of shock or astonishment. The j ordinary movements of walking or run- , nlng would keep a man’s face above j water, but these curious climbing J movements of both hands and feet ; make floating Impossible and are re sponsible for many deaths by drown ing.—Cincinnati Enquirer. DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT. How the Faring Value of Aaplialt Wan IJroc^Iit to Xotlcc. All forms of bituminous pavements, whether manufactured from natural or artificial asphalt, arc In fact nrthjcial ■tine pavements. The Industry started with the use of the natural rock as- pbnlt from the mines In the Vnl de Travers, Canton Neufcbntcl, Switzer land. The mines were discovered In 1721, lint it was 1849 that Its utility as ■ a road covering was first noticed. The rock was then being mined for the purpose of extracting the bitumen con tained in It for use In medicine nud , arts. It Is a limestone found Itnpreg-; tinted with bitumen, of which it yields on analysis from 8 to 14 per cent. It was observed that pieces of rock which fell from the wagon were crush ed by the weight of wheels, and under j the combined Influence of the trntlle I and heat of the sun n good road surface was produced. A macadam road of as phalt rock was then made which gave! very good results, and finally In 1854 | » portion of the Hue Bergere was laid In l’nrls of compressed asphalt on a concrete foundation. In 1858 a still i larger sample was laid, and from that ■ time It has been laid year by year In I Paris. From Purls It extended to Lou don, being laid on Threadueedle street j In IS*Jf» and Cheapslde In 1870 and In | successive years on other streets.—Mu nicipal Journal und Engineer. No I.lmlt to New Idea*. There never has been a tlmo when the Individual has stood for so mneb | aa he does at present. There has never been a time when Individuality and personal Initiative brought such 1 amazing rewards. There never has been a time when the Individual could or did exert so much Influence ns at present. There U no Individual today so Insignificant that. If be became the medium of u new or potent Ideal, ho would be prevented by uncontrollable conditions from expressing his Idea end reaping bis Just reward. Iu ull ages up to this man has been, owing to his limitations of physical force, a plaything of conditions, a slave of Ids environment. Skill and Intelli gence were but two of the factors In bis iirogrcss, bounded and restrained ■ by limitations to their employment Now. however, with universal energy at the disposal of each Individual, this j terrestrial sphere scarce puts hounds ' to his field of InfiueueeS-Cassier'a Magazine. Fruit Acids Kill Gem*. A writer In a scientific periodical states that It Is not generally kuown that fruit acids ure germicidal. “The Juice," he suys, "of limes and lemons Is us deadly to cholera germs as cor rosive sublimate or sulphur fumes or foruiuhlehyde or any other disinfectant. It Is so powerful a germicide that If the Juice of one lime or lenton bo •queexed Into a glass of water that la ■ then left standing for ten or fifteen minutes the water will he disinfected, it makes little difference where tho •water has been obtained or whether It bns been boiled or filtered.” As boiled or filtered water is uot always obtain able this Is worth remembering. What Ton Pat la Tour Mouth. It is through tbe mouth that most malignant germs find their way Into the body, and therefore one would think thut It was hardly necessary to warn people Rgalust the risks they are running In using It as a sort of third baud.
