Tho kaiiya.

What is Kajiya! We have heard the
question mysteriously discussed have even
read description or the creature still
find it impossible to say what a Kajiya is.
That it is al animal Of some kind is evident,
for it possesses life and motion. It is, he
sides. monster Of ugliness, yet claiming to
be kindred to the human race II such is
the case, the creature should be an object of
loving curiosity to Mr.. Darwin, who is
still presumably searching for the miss
ing link. In the meantime, what little
We know Of the Kajiya may be stated
here-our particulars being taken from

named be really human, he is GER

| body, balanced upon pair Of great spiay
feet, and sunk between attenuated legs-the
coarse, square joints Of which are seen
above his head as he squats on the ground
seems out Of oil proportion to his mon
strous growth Of limb. The face of the
creature is described as pinched and weaz-
ened looking, broad, fat, and expressionless,
the ears resembling bat's-a very goblin
all over. Yet the Kajiya tolls for his bread
hard and laboriously. And this is the
strangest part Of the story Without the
slightest show OF intelligence a face
more -epulsive than that owned by many Of
the Simian species--the Kajiya yet earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow, and is
to be seen in the novels Of the native black

that the animal is included in the number Q

SCIENCE
Paraffine Wax.

The final product of petroleum is psrafhne
wax. This is removed from paraf6ne oil BY
first chilling the whole mass Of the oil to
about freezing point by means Of ice and
salt in summer, and the natural atmosphere
in winter 1t is then placed in strong can
vas and subjected to hydraulic pressure, the
oil flowing out through the meshes and the
wax being retained. It is then subjected to
Oh emical treatment and re-pressure, these
processes being repeated until the wax il
perfectly white, hard. and entirely fret
from ali traces Of oil or DIOR, in which con-
dition it is q solid wax, melting 1t about
1902 F. It is used mainly for candles, sur
facing cambrics and repellants. and, - in
the case of naphtha, new process ha'
been developed. rendering it Of increased
value in the trade.

The Origin Of Man.

The most eminent German biologists and
ethnologists now maintain that the locality
Of mans primitive origin, the seat of the
so-called Paradise, was in the Pacific Ocean
south Of Asia. whence the race slowly diff
fused itself northward to Aaia, westward
to Africa, and eastward to Australia.
When the great Pacific continent slowly
sank. so that the ocean commenced filing
the valleys, man retreated to the mountains,
which, by continued sinking, were trans
formed into islands. and now form the many
groups Of Polynesia. The insularity Of
the thus preserved races was not productive
Of civilization, which requires conflict, in
which the superiors in the end gain the
victory over the interiors, In those islands
the inferior races were preserved for want
Of this conflict, hence their savage condi-

Tuesday, and on Saturday the father,
hearing that the runaway was at Dar-
by, Delaware county, Pa, went there
in search of him. He failed to find
the object of his search, and was re
turning to the railroad station, after
dusk, when an insolent tramp stepped
from the roadside and demanded his
money. In response Rollins knocked
the tram down, when the latter jumped
to his feet and gave vent to a shrill
whistle. This signal brought several
other tramps from and adjoining place
of concealment, and Rollins was
quickly thrown down and robbed OF
$50, ali his money with the exception
of some small change.
Robbins returned sadly home, and

Fame steamer, while passing out of

frame was broken and the door
badly shattered, some of the heavy
splintcrs narrowly missing the driver.
The accident eau be readily repaired
but it will greatly mar the beauty of
the large doors.
