The camphor tree (CAnneamomum (amphora) is an evergreen, a membel of the laurel family, belonging to the same genus as the tree whose bark fur nishes the spice called cinnamon, and is related to the bay and to the sas safras of the United States. Of sym metrical proportions, it Is one of the noblest objects in the forests of east. ern subtropical Asia. In its native habitat it attains gigantic dimensions notably in girth of trunk, some speci mens measuring ten to fifteen feet It diameter. It is said they have been known to reach as much as twenty feet, and they may be sixty to over 100 feet high, and live to a great age 1 As a rule they rise twenty or thirty 1 feet without limbs, and then branch out in all directions, becoming a mass of splendid and luxuriant foliage Their leaves, broadly lanceolate in form, are of a light green color. smooth and shining above, and whit ish or glaucous on the under surface.

A Freeh Witesme to the Tradition of the fS Deluge - Professor HIopt ao Prub lished the Fresmeote of abe Wooderful stery Preserved in the British Mneous. th Many readers would, I believe, be fe interested in a fresh witness to the ; Chaldean tradition of the deluge, et writes a correspondent of the London ru Times. The best known account of 4i this tradition is contained in the late st George Smith's "Chaldcan Genesis." te There was given the first conneccted po account of the Assyrian version of the PT old Babylonian myths concerning the n, flood. This version has been drawn in up for the library of Ashurbanipal, the be last great King of Assyria, and has ax been brought by Sir Henry Layard from the ruins of Nineveh. A more as complete edition, consisting of all the to fragments of the story, preserved in ey the British Museum, has been pub- de lished by Prof. Haupt. t Unfortunately, the lines which once to recorded the dimensions of the ark nc are defective, and though Prof. Haupt cc considers it probable that the length Ci was 100 cubits, while the breadth and na height were both 120 cubits, we have it no certainty about the length. By as- fl suming that the meadsure named in the fo text really denotes a half cubit, as was m once held by Prof. Oppert, the conjec- pt tured length would agree with the hi 300 cubits of the Biblical narrative. sr Now one of the tablets, probably sl also once in King Ashurbanipal's li brary at Nineveh, appears to give a ol different estimate of the dimensions of u! Noah's ark. It is catalogued as "a it list of animals and certain measure- it ments" &c, and was recently copied e: by me for my "Assyrian Deeds and a Documents," where the cuneiform text tl will appear as No. 777. A closer ex- a; amination of the contents has made sa me think they deserve to be more el widely known. ' There is no distinct statement on p the tablet that the measurements re- n fer to the, ark, but I fail to see with fl what else the figures given could be b concerned. The first three lines read a simply, "290 cubits long, 150 cubits s broad. G,0 cubits high." The whole a tabl',t is written in the ideographic s style, and some of the ideograms used k are not to be found in published "lists of sigi3 and ideograms." But these t lines only employ such signs as are } well known from their use in the his- a turi:, inscriptions, and I assign to f then 1, i meanings which they always 6 hav , is: such text:; as concern the di- t Pfnsl'ions of buildings. Ilut this would be a very large lul:ilinw: indeed. The great Temple of 1 SM3erod.rch 'at Rabylon, by maye;; identi- I lied with the Tower of Babel. was only 180 cubits high. If we consider these dimensions as those of a tower it must f have been nearly 1i),0 feet high. Such a height could only be that of a moun- 1 I tin. Then it would bo difficult to ac- 1 count for the presence of the animals 1 1 recorded below. There were no ani n:;'s kept in the Tower of Babel, so far as t-e are toll. The animals whose names can be recognized are r nt su!ch as we hate any reasron to S.!: ~so were kept by the kings of Nrev!,eh in a menagerie or zoological gard ane. The mythical character of the build d ing seems evident. The next two II lines give other dimensions in precise ly similar terms to those used in de scribing the terraces or palaces. In telpretlng the signs in the same way as is always done in such cases, the substructure of this strange building was 410 cubits across and 788 cubits along its side. There Is no sugges tion of height. Now, the Ninevite version of the Chaldean tradition, above referred to contemplates the ark as a "house" on a "boat" or raft. It may .be ques tioned whether in these texts "height" Snecessarily means "vertical height." y If not. we may suppose a boat 788 cubits in length over all and 410 cu bits in breadth amidships, carrying a a box-shaped house 660 cubits long, 390 , cubits broad and 150 cubits high above the deck. It is possible that the roof a sloped from a central ridge. Also the dimensions given may be those of a Srectangular raft. In either ease there would be a free space ten cupits wide along the sides and 64 cubits wide at the ends, to serve as a "deck promen t ade." If we prefer to take 660 cubits as the height, part of this may have a been submerged; but, in any case, we should have a curious shape for an Sark, though one quite admissible for • an imaginary temple tower. The animals named, so far as I am , able to recognize their ideographic 4 descriptions, are dromedaries, camels, * horses, mules, asses, both male anl fe I male of each species, forming one group; then oxen and cows of varioub s sorts, sheep, goats, antelopes or ga s aelles, hares, with their young ones, Sand of both sexes, forming a second group. The first group seems to be the animals, man's helpers and ser vants; the second group is possibly those clean animals used for food. It may be noted that the antelope or ga selle is frequently depicted as associ ated with Ishtar, or Venus, who plays such a prominent part in the tradi tion of the flood. No numbers are gir Sen, in marked contruast to the Biblical Snarrative, but there, were evidently Spairs in the first group, and it would not be dilmcult to make out seven for the bovine race and sheep. In the many herd lists of Nineveh Klngs the numbers of each sort ar, of course, al ways given. Hence we can scareely think of the anifmals In a farmyard. Then follows a list of birds, meast Then follows a lisat of birds, most of which are not yet to be identified with any certainty, though nearly all the ideograms occur also in the lists of oRerings made to the gods. 8ucb birds were in all probability used for food. The list ends with "the dove, the swallow, the raven." Now in the Ninevite version of the story, Noah sent forth, when the waters began to abate, first the dove then the swsl low, then the raven. The order is the same. The ra Sven would hardly be kept in any do mestic establlshment; few of the oth W er creatures, except perhals, ante 5 lopes, would be kept in a menagerie. SThe extraordinary dlmensioas of athe building, the singular selection of w animals, as remarkable for its eami re sione as for its contents, seem sited to no other explanation than that we v have here a summarym esttiate ofat the site and contents of INah's ark.

She Cats are by nature dainty--even in their cruelties. There is all manner of For feline grace in the way the play with T mice. Cats suffer much less from con- Th stant housing than dogs, although they run wild much more readily, and never quite get over their murderous in stincts. A cat of fancy breed, as Mal tese, Angora, Coon-cat or Manx, is a I possession more fashionable than She precious. Each and several they are tha no end decorative, but in affection. intelligence and playfulness they rank asl below their black, gray, tiger marked me and tortoiseshell brethren. rel White cats are in general more sav age and less intelligent than gray or tht tortoiseshell Many of them have blue te eyes, and all such are said to be stone t deaf; hence they are less desirable in tne house. Unlike dogs, cats require to have their meat raw, but they must all ndt have too much of it. Milk should l constitute at least a third of their food. yo Crumble stale bread in the milk and now and again beat up a raw egg in sa it. A bit of raw liver as big as two be fingers, or a fish head, is meat enough co for a day's ration. Supplement it with It milk and bread or milk and mashed potatoes, a cracker or two, or a bit of of hard bread, lightly buttered, and a few yj small bones, as from chicken, game or gi shops. in Cats as well as dogs suffer a plague of fleas. Oddly enough cat fleas are sa unlike dog fleas, and if two sorts of h4 insects meet upon one poor beast there c in victory for the cat fleas, which are bi extending over many acres of ground, much larger and more voracious than those found on the dog. If left to rav age unchecked they soon reduce a sleek, healthy cat to a miserable skel eton, suffering all over from eczema. To get rid of the fleas, wash with sul phur soap-any good brand which the a nearest shop affords-comb out the ei fleas with a fine tooth comb while the tl hair is still wet, then rinse the cat r+ well in milk warm water, dry it with O soft towels, and give it after a bath a saucer of warm milk with a tea- ci spconful of brandy or whiskey in it. A si kitten should have only a few drops of h spirits and be kept snug in a clean si basket for an hour after the bath. % When the hair is very dry, blow in, all along the backbone some sort of good tl fine insect powder-either larkspur or a pyrethrum. Rub behind the ears with the sulphur ointment directedfordogs. Next day brush out all the powder with t ^ fine, close brush, comb the coat light ly, then part it along the backbone and rub witu the sulphur ointment. For mange rub all over with the sul- c phur ointment. Keep the cat confined so it cannot lie in the dirt and after 24 hours wash it well in hot soap- t suds--just comfortably hot, rinse dry, I and leave alone. In three days if tne E I ange persists, repeat the ointment, I 1 and after the treatment give the cat I plenty of catnip, either green or dry, s with milk and bread diet. Catnip in- j e deed ought to be given always twice a 4 o week. Burn infected bedding and fu migate sleeping baskets, or else wash i I them well in bichloride of mercury. Let them stand six hours after w ,sh ing, then scald plentifully with boil- l o ing water and dry well before letting the cat sleep in them again. AN ELECTRIC DRY DOCK, 7 he Current Put to a Novel Use at South Brooklyn. g The very latest adaptation of elec tric power is to the operation of the pumps for dry docks. What is said to be the largest and most powerful dry e dock in the world has recently been o built in South Brooklyn, New York, and so equipped that the port of New I- York from being the last on the list of ports where repairs to large ves elsole could be made has taken its prop 8 er place in the front rank, in keeping 1- with its commercial importance. a The dock is built of five pontoons. Seach 80 feet long with two exten e sions at the end each 36 feet long, al f though the final size of the dock is Sto be 700 to 800 feet, capable of taking a care of vessels of( the very largest Ssise. The advantage in using elec Stric power is its great flexibility, and t the fact that it can be obtained from - the public lighting circuits of the dis : trict, making the maintenance of a Spower plant unnecessary. There are , two large centrifugal pumps, electri n cally driven, which have a capacity of r from 5000 to 6000 gallons per minute. The great speed of operation of the Sdock is evidenced by the fact that a Ic 9000ton vessel was recently docked Sin exactly 51 miEates. - Another peculiar construction of Sthis dock is that it is built in sec Stions as before noted. Owing to Sthis arrangement it is possible to use Sonly the number of pontoons neces id sary to accommodate the particular e ship to be docked. If it is a small ship only two sections need be em i ployed, and larger vessels accordingly. It The pontoon design ti the dock also a enables a vessel to be docked which I- has a decided list, which in the ordi Snary docks cannot be dones By tilting - the dock until the pontoon ham a - sumed the ame angle as the listed 1 vessel the latter may be floated ain y and ecured to the dock, when the Id latter is made to assume a level po ' sition. SThe pontoons have wings at either Ie side, the top of which are 56 feet * above the bottom of the pontoons, all 7 the pumps, etc., bentag placed on the platforms at the top of the wrtgs. f 'we rlle&d er wah 3e.e.e.." h The unconscous cruelty of children 5 is illustrated in the followia talk be of tween a lady and a little girl, about a b cherished doll-baby. r "Do you know," thechild says in ' wondering tone-"do you know this e poor baby of mlaq has a sLter called h Jeamima, who was very cruel to him. to She used always to take away his bot Stis.
