At the Hod barrow Mines, at Mlilom. on the Cumberland coast. England work Is being carried out to enable mining to proceed still further under the sea. The company's first lease only extended to ordinary high-water mark on the south. Through the surface caving in when ore was extracted. It was necessary to leave a barrier of 360 feet wide, to protect the mine*, as the sea would otherwise have filled the hollows on the surface and eventually have flooded the mine. This barrier was ultimately found to contain over 5,000,000 ton* of ore. A second sea wall going beyond the -older one has been commenced.

The wholesale alaughter of kangaroos for their valuable hides has resulted In the practical extinction of these--remarkable animals except in (he remoter regions of Australia, and roost visitors make their only experience of the continent's typical quadrupeds ta the roologlcsl gardens of the principal citiea. In the “back blocks,” as the Interior parts of Australia are called, they are still to be found In considerable numbers, and afford ex-

citing sport to the hunter. The tribe of Australian kangaroos Includes, besides these animals proper, a constantly dwindling succession of related species—wallaroos, walldbles, paddymeIoob. and so on. ending with the dimin-

utive %nd dainty kangaroo rat.

Everybody has obberved the habit that some insects have of hovering or dancing on the air, generally In a group, with every manifestation of fcjoymcnt. There Is a species of twowinged files that are particularly fond of this sport, for sport It undoubtedly is. They assemble In some spot sheltered from tbe wind, and Indulge in their dance for hours at a time. Their motions consist of alternate rising and falling in periods of a few seconds, anfi over a distance varying from one foot to four. They become so much Interested In the dance that they cannot be scattered. If disturbed for a' moment they at once reassemble, and | continue the sport as If nothing had interfered with them. Much has been written about this habit, but the naturalists agree, we believe. In consider-

ing it real play.

According to a paper recently read by Dr. Aron before the BerUn Medical society the Inhalation of oxygen for the relief and cure of certain lung and heart affections. In which It la commonly recommended. Is of little value. The atmosphere, he said, contained a sufficient proportion of oxygen to saturate the haemoglobin of the blood, and as the haemoglobin when saturated waa. of course, unable to absorb more oxygen inhalations of oxygen were evidently useless. He bad found that the results of practical experience were In accordance with these views Tbs few Instances In which the oxygen seemed beneficial were cases of dyspnoae (difflcultaln breathing). In cardiac and pulmonisy diseases, but the improvement was maintained only while the Inhalations were actually in progress. In the treatment of apparent death from drowning artificial respiration waa Just as efficacious. In poisoning by carbolic oxide and id rarefied air, where the amount of available oxygen was loss than the normal, the administration of oxygen was desirable

Tbe latter was particularly the case In we deata of Bishop Littlejohn. For a long time the mine was being prepared for the final exploalon.
