A Group ef Islands Off Cap Horn No ths Proptrty of Rat' Within the last generation a unique rat colony has grown up In soutfi (Jeor gla, a group of bleak and barren Is lauds of about 1,000 squaro miles, In tho Atlantic ocean wrcnil hundred tulles east of Caiw Horn. In tho tlirco mouths of tho short wnrm senxon n lit tle tussock grasx grows, nnd this for merly supported a considerable number of rabbits, with a few small mam tun In of other species. In tho last century tho Islands became tho center of tho whaling industry. With n fuvorablo summer several thou sand whales aro brought to tho nlnn stations, and tho carcasses, ufler tbo outer blubber lias been HtrlpjKHl off, aro set adrift along the shore. Tho llrst rats, escaping from n sealing rcssel, wcro Introduced twenty-llvo or thirty years ago, They found tho best of shelter (u tho icat and tufts of grass, and with mi unlimited food' suit ply In cold stomgo In the enormous Held of rotting flesh they have multi plied In millions, notwithstanding tho rigors of tho winters. At tbo time when tho rnt Is 'being fought ns a great tncnaco to tbo world's health tho development of this rat stronghold offers a problem of peculiar Interest Exchaugc. THE SENSATION OF PAIN. It Is Fait In tha Head and Not When It Oeemj to Bs. Where do you feel tho pain? asks the doctor. In my linger, in my ear, In my foot, tho sufferer replies, und If the phy sician told him he did not feel it there, but In his head, the average man would doubt tho doctor's sanity. Yet the doc tor would lo right. In an address at the University of California Prtfcssor (1. II. Parker of Ilarvurd told tho students that we havo been obliged to give up tho Idea that sensations arc spread throughout our bodies, for persons who have lost a limb often feel sensations that seem to come from the missing member. "Our sensations." said Professor Par ker, "arc not located In tbo peripheral parts affected, but In the central nervous system, and within Hint portion of It known us the cerebral cortex." This Is tho outer layer or gray matter of the brain. One may lose nu arm, yet have the sensation of pain in tho hand, but If a small piece of that par ticular part of the brain to which run tho sensory nerves from I ho urm be re moved, ono will never again feel any thing in that arm not even If the hand bo placed In the lire. China and Flowers. From timo Immemorial China has been called tbo Flowery Kingdom, n namo given by the Chinese themselves aud singularly suited to the laud which i for ages was like an oasis of dowers of tho spirit In the world desert of bar barism. In this oasis grew the arts of the hnmze aud stone worker, of tho silk maker und embroiderer, of the pot ter, of tho painter on silk, of the poet, philosopher nnd ethical devotee. But China was not named the Flowery Kingdom been u so of these flowers ot the mind. Her flora, Is one pf .the most luxuriant In tho world. It Is estimated to couslst of somo twelve thousand spe cies, nlno thousand of which ure known and one-half of which aro Indigenous nnd not found elsewhere. Such being tbo flora of China. It Is readily understood that horticulture nnd gardening early became n skilled and honored profession. Scrllmer's. Tho First Quarantine. From nil accounts the custom of quarantine ".originated. In, Venice some--whero about the beginning of the twelfth century. All merchants and nt hers coming from the eastern coun tries were obliged to remain in tho house of St. Lazarus for n period of forty days before they wcro admitted Into' tho city.
