A very important fact in. the economy
of earihwortns is their susceptibility to
alt water ; they are for the most part
soon killud by an immersion in ealt
s'ater, and it aptiears that their egs ar
also incapable of withstaudinffita inHti
nii for a prolonged period.. However,
the are not deposited tinyly, but
are inci sed in lare nutnlers in an epif
cane of a. leathery consistence, which
may be, for a tune at leust, impermeable
to sea water. It is therefore just con
ceivable that the cocoons miht cross in
afety a narrow se.i inclosed in a ball of
earth ojiou the rKU of a floating tree.
Eut it Mt'tna certain that a very long
time does not elapsn nefore the es in
the cocoon are fatally injured by th
sea-water. The only eiception at pres
ent known is an earthworm which is
found in li.-aps of Cast Up seaweed on

J'ushinK onr way we proceed. It Is
really pushirur onr way, fur the street is
lined with mothers, each holding a baby
in her arms, with another dragging on
to her skirts. Some are sitting ou the
stoops, some in the areas and others on
the curbstones; in fact they are all over.
Suddenly we hear a pitiful wail from a
little baby. We know what that means
it means that the baby is thirsty. The
mother also thinks she knows, blie
gives it the breat The poor baby, after
clutching it eagerly and taking many
swallows, releases it anil again cries that
same pitiful, forlorn wail.
DUrSsF.p WATER.
Can any one be ignorant that nothing
can quench thirst bnt water? Milk is a
poor substitute, litre is a chance to
give a private lecture, and presently we
are telling the mother that the baby
needs water to queucu its thirst; the hot
weather makes it sweat a saI deal; it
loees a great deal of water and so needs
a greut deal. A parsing ic wagon fur
nishes a scrap of ice. It does one good
to see how eagerly baby sucks it This
mother lives in a house where there are
niWn other mothers, and asking her to
tell the others, we walk away feeling
sure before night all these babies will be
drinking water. We have told her to
tM.il the water, put it on ice aud then
give it to the baby to drink.
Looking op and down the street we
see that it is very dirty. Going over to
investigate a pile of dirt, we e on its
uphill side a pool of stagnant water
which is almost green, (iiven a hot
