BIRDS AND REPTILES.
Merely a Modification of skin.

Cornhill Magazine.l
A feather, as an anatomist would
tell us, is "a dermal notification
in other words, an altered skin. Every
part of a plant or animal undergoes
changes, our modern teachers say.
Just in accordance with the external
influence which affect it. But the
skin Of an animal is naturally exposed
TO many more such surrounding
agencies than its internal organs; ac-
cordingly, We find that no structure
exhibits such strange variations as
the skin. Besides the regular modi.
iications which we see in the seals or
horney plates OF fishes, the smooth
coats Of solid shells of reptiles, the
feathers of birds, and the hair Of
mammals, numerous other minor
peculiarities occur in almost every
species. Such are the horns of COWS
and goats, the spike OF the rhinoceros.
the beaks, nails, claws, hoofs and
talons of beasts and birds, and the
tail .plumes, ruffs, lappets, crests and
ornamental adjuncts of all the moro
aesthetic animals. In no class are
these variations in the external COW
ering more conspicuous than among
the biped tribe, whose spoils | am now
holding in my hand, and the text for
u afternoons discourse. How birds
first came to be winged and feathered
we a hardly say as yet, To
be sure, most of us have seen a pic.

part projected into long jaws, fitted
with teeth not very dissimiIar from
those Of 4 crocodile while its legs
were supplied, apparently, with a
membrane, by whose aid the creature
probably flew about in the same man
ner as a bat. These real flying drag
ons recall IN many points the appear
ance of a bird, especially in the skull
and position of the eyes. Moreover.
Profs. Marsh aud Huxley have shown
that the earliest fossil birds resemble
the pterdactyl and other reptiles in
many important peculiarities Of struc.
ture, far more than there modern
representatives. Some of them even
possess teeth set in their jaws after a
reptilian form, more or less like the
pterdactyl, if not actually from that
partially winged saurian itself. But
perhaps it is premature to build with
confidence upon such dubious ground;
and we may, consequently accept the
earliest birds on their own response
bility, without inquiring too c%uriously
into their antecedents, or compelling
them to produce a genealogical table
of their ancestry.

THE RICHMOND N
Details Of the Terrible Accident by
Which Miss Boiling Lost Her Life.

"A correspondent at Richmond. Va.
gives the following details OF the death
OF Miss Boiling, mentioned in our dis
patches from that city on Friday last
A distressing and unfortunate cal
amity occurred on Wednesday at the
residence af Mr.. Thomas Boiling, on
Franklin street, by which his sister.
Miss Lou Boiling, one of the leading
bellies and beauties of this city, lost
her life on Thursday. The family Of
Mr.. Boiling belong to the best society
of Richmond. Besides his wife-a
former Miss Aylett--he had living
with him his sister, Miss Lou Boil
ing, and Mr.. Robert Hudgins-
the latter as a boarder. Wednes-
day night, after a very pleasant
evening in the parlor and on the
porch, the ladies retired to their re-
spective rooms. The hour was about
IL. When Miss Boiling reached her
apartment with a lighted piece Of
paper she ignited the gas and threw
the burning fragment on the hearth.
She turned to move to another portion
of the room, and in doing SO the trail
of her dress, which was thin and in
hammable, caught fire from the piece
of burning paper. She soon became
enveloped in flames. Her first knowl-
edge Of the terrible situation in which
she was came from a sensation of heat
at her back, and looking round she
saw the flames as they blazed up.
She at once called her sister-in- law,
Mrs. Boiling, from the next room,
who, coming in and unable to render
any assistance, began to scream, in
concert with the burning young lady.
for help. Both the gentlemen, Mr..
Boiling and Mr.. Hudgins, rushed up
the stairs, and, though Mortified at
what they saw, endeavored to save
Miss Boiling. There we're no rugs or
blankets at hand, but a bedspread was
used as quickly as possible to little
advantage. By this time the entire
dress of Miss Boiling was consumed,
and she was in the most fearful agony.
The gentlemen used every means
available to e%xtinguish the flames.
Mr.. Boiling was so severely burned
in the hands that he may be disabled
for life. To add to the misfortune of
the occasion, Mrs. Bolling's dress
caught fire about the time the gentle.
men reached the room, and she was only
saved byher husband throwinga buck
ct of water over her, which quenched
the flames. Mr.. Hudgins' hands were
also severely burned, his finger nails
being completely burned off.
Miss Bolling's injuries were of the
most painful character. The body
was one mass of roasted flesh, and her
sufferings we're fearful. She fingered
until halfpast 3 pm. on Thursday,
when death put an end to her suffer
ings. Mrs. Boiling, Mr.. Boiling and
Mr.. Hudgins are severely burned, and
have the sympathy of the entire com
munity. Miss Boiling was considered
one of the hapdsomest young ladies In
the city, and was beloved by every
body who knew her,

MnAFhAns July lV1 1913. L
Among other dividends declared
last week was one of 2! per cent. by
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company ON its capital stock of
$9,O03,218. This divides over $225, 900
among the shareholders, a number of
whom reside in the country through
which the road passes, though a large
portion of the stock is doubtless held
in the East. Shelby county holds
$4,000 of this stock, and its share of
the dividend amounts to $1875. The
cities of Louisville and Nashville
own a considerable amount Of this
stock, and the common council of
Louisville recently repealed an ordi-
nance previously passed ordering that
city's interest in the road to be sold if
such should prove to be the desire of
the citizens on a popular vote to be
taken during the fall. The stock of
the road has been dealt in quite freely
on the New York stock exchange
boards, and the top figures reached
by the stock was three weeks ago,
when it sold at 693c. Yesterday the
quotation was Gle. The present is
a semi-annual dividend, and is larger
than the Louisville and Nashville has
given for a number of years. The
last was lie, made at the beginning Of
the year. The gross earnings of the
road during l87-8 were $5,607. 1913.

handsome surplus remains in the

ings after deducting the dividend Just
ordered. The road is in every sense
prosperous, and its future is promis-
ing. l.l
The Planters Insurance Company
of this city also made a dividend of 5
per cent, the same to be credited on
the stock notes of the shareholders.
Aside from the subject of dividends
there is no question of Importance in
the local financial market. Discount
notes are 6 per cent, with light offer

sight bills on New York and demand
