There has just been published by the Royal Irish Academy a bulky report on ithe result of three years' exploration work among the caves of County Clare. 1N0 fewer than 70,000 specimens of bones were forwarded in parcels to the Dublin Museum for identification. Each of these panels were carefully labelledV hearing in number corresponding with a map of ,the cave giving the exact position and depth from the surface at which the speâ€" rcnnens were obtained. The bulk of the imateria] collected consisted of bones of tvarious animals, including man, and these throw an interesting light on the ‘old-time fauna of Ireland. Among the more important mammalian remains In ere bones of brown bear, wolf, Arctic fox, Arctic lemming, lrish elk, red deer, reindeer, ox, and wild bear. Ornamenk belonging to theearly Christian era‘ including a gold bracelet, bronze pin and buckle, show that these same caves were used, at least tempor- arily, by much later generations (f men. Artificially fractured bones of the Irish elk and reindeer show that these animals were hunted, at any rate. hy the earliest human inhabitants of the is- land; but they probably were soon ex- terminated. Wolves, however. survived until comparatively recent times. The exact date of their final extermination l5 not known, but they existed in the great Iorcsts on the borders of \X'icklow and Carlow as late as the year I700. and it is supposed that they finally became ex- tinct about 1776.

' One rather surprising discovery is "that the bones of the wild cat, which occurred in some numbers, belonged not to the European. but to an African species, known as the Caffre cat (Felis scream). The larger of these caves furnished dwelling places for prehistoric men, for arrowheads and other imple- ments of flint and bone, as well as bronze omaments, have been recovered, many in a perfect state of preservation; and these were associated with human remains. From the form of the bones of the ankle joint it would appear that these skeletons represent the remains of people who habitually assumed a squat- ting posture, as is done by many savage races toâ€"day. Charcoal and burnt stones afford further evidence as to the use of these caves.

There may be cases 'n which the disease has been long seat- ed and does not easily yield to medi- cine, but even in such cases these pills have been known to bring relief when all other so-called remedies have failed. 'l‘hese assertions can be substantiated by many who have used the Pills, and medical men speak highly of their qual- ihes. No person should go from home with- cut a bottle of Dr. J. D.

As the man entered the dock, he threw on the ground a hen’s egg and then commenced to chew some ‘sereh.’ This was supposed to work a spell on the magistrate and cause him to discharge the accused. Unfortunate- ly for the schemes of the Javanese, he was seen by the Malay constable in charge of him. This Malay seized the Javanese by the throat and choked him until he spat up the ‘sereh’ and so broke the spell. The case was postponed." A correspondent of the Pckin and Tientsin Times writes :â€"“I asked a friendly Chinaman the other day why he was burning some books he had been reading. His reply was that they were the old-fashioned sort, and should they be found later in his possession he would be rrgarded by the new school as one who did not sympathize with the new regime.

When the heating is prolonged the alteration in the valuable proportion of the milk begins as low as 100 de- grees, but with quick heating it does not begin below 110 degrees. Tuberculosis bacilli are destroyed by heating to 150 degrees for five minutes, and such heat- ing does not alter the properties of the milk.
