The Dropping Ears or Animals.

Darwin, in his work on the domestication
Of animals, presents these curious facts, or
speeulations. whichever they may be;
Our domestieated quadrupeds are all de.
scended, so far as is known, from species
having erect ears; yet few kinds can be
named, Of which at least one race has not
dropping ears. Cats in China, horses in
parts OF Russia. sheep IN Italy and else
where, the guinea pig IN Germany, goats and
cattle IN Ihdia. rabbits, pigs and dogs in all
civilized countries have dependent ears
With wild animals, which constantly use
their ears like tunnels to catch every passing
sound, and especially to ascertain the direc-
ton whence it comes, there is not any species
with dropping ears except the elephant.
Hence the incapacity TO erect The ears is Ger
family in some manner the result Of domesti-
cation; and this incapaelty has been attrib-
uted by various authors 10 dlsase, for animals
protected by man are not compelled habitu-
ally 10 use their ears. Cal. Hamilton Smith
states that in ancient etiigies of the dog,
with the exception OF one Egyptian in
stance, no sculpture Of the early Grecian era
produces representations of hounds with
completely dropping ears those with them
hall pendulous are missing in the most an
clent, and this character increases, by de.
grees, IN the works Of the Roman period =
Godron has also remarked that 1.-THE pigs Of
the ancient Egyptians had not their ears Ell
larged nnd pendent. But it is remarkable
that The dropping Of the ears, though proba
bly, the effect oil dsuse, IS not accompanied
BY any decrease IN size; on the contrary,
when We remember that animals so different
as fancy rabbits, certain Indian breeds OF the
goat, cur peited spaniels. bloodhopnds, and
other dogs, have enormouly elongated ears,
# would appear as il disuse actually caused
IN increase in length. With rabbits, Tie
dropping of the much elongated ears, has
affected even the structure Of the skull.

SIZE OF THE STARs.-How large are the
stars, and are they alike, or do they differ in
size It used to be eonjectured that they are
somewhat similar in magnitude, presumably
about as great as our sun, and that the differ
enee= OF apparent size are due to the differen-
cies of distance, but when astronomers
cameto discover that some of the smaller
stars are the nearest to our system, this idea
fe,l 10 the ground. A German computer has
now, however, calculated the actual dmen.
sions Of one particular star, and finds that
It's mass is rather more than three times that
Of the sun. The star in question is of less
than the fourth magnitude comparatively
small one. What then, must be the size Of the
Sirius and Aldebaran class The reason of
It's selection forthis determination was that it
isone of the components et what is called
binary system two stars revolving about
each other like the sun and planet-and the
motions OF the members OF such system
afford data for the computation. The Stars
distance from Us IS million and quarter
times that Of the earth from the sun, so that
light takes twenty years to travel hither from
it.-Oace Hex.

A Tunnel to mite Scotland and Ireland,
has recently been suggested by an Eusii i en-
gineer. This under-sea passage would run
from the coast of Antrim, Ireland, TO Leak
Point, in the Null Of Cantyre, length Of
fourteen anu half miles. It is estimated
that il would cost SIS, 150, 900.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREAsURY.-The report Of the Secretary OF
the Treasury is printed. The funding Of
the public debt and the contraction Of the
paper circulation by the redemption Of the
United States notes is treated deliberately,
though the Secretary opposes a forced re-
sumption, or the naming of any time by
legislation for resuming specie payments.
The funding of the public debt as step in
that direction may be noted as follows: Up
10 December l, 1927 ,629 $50 Of seven-thirty
notes have been funded into six per cent
tye-twcnty bonds. Of this amount there
have been funded of the first series $780,.
j65, 100 second series, $3.50, 1853, 200 third
series, $l9I ,S75, 450. This leaves outstand
Ing Of this class CT securities but $780,.
$50. The compound-interest notes-all o.
which became due between the 10th o.
June, 1867, and the 18th of October, 1861
have not all been redeemed, but have beer
exchanged for three per cent. certificates
leaving but few millions outstanding.
The Secretary estimates the expendi-
lures for the fiscal year ending June 80,
$50, to be $3.50, 100000, in round numbers,
though the War Department, in the event
Of an Indian war, will call for several adj
ditional millions. Twenty-Five millions
required for bountics by this Department,
for the present fiscal year are not required
for the next. The report will further show
that between November l, 1867, and No
yember /, 1868, the public debt, less cash
in the treasury, has been reduced S35 $685.
lO2.S2. These are the twelve months in
which the comparison is made. If the
November increase were added in this
statement, of course the decrease would be
seven or eight millions less. The receipts
show that the internal revenue will be about
Sl2O,O0O,000 for the present fiscal year, and
the estimates of revenue for the next fiscal
year are about $S0,0O0,0OO less than last
year, owing to the reduction of taxation.
The report shows the interest on the public
debt to be, in round numbers, $40, ,00C
PER annum, or Sl0,000,00 more than the
estimate Tor this fiscal year Washington
aLpa!ch to the Ne,O York World.
