Another "Missing Link"

PROFESSOR OWENS researches among
the South African fossils have just
brought to light another of those Curl
Gus connecting links between widely diff
ferent classes of animals which the the
ory of evolution has led us to expect, and
which the diligence of fossil hunters has
now made familiar. Already we have
grown accustomed to hear of birds with
lizard-like tails or with teeth in their
jaws, of saurians with wings, and of
horses with three toes. But Professor
Ovens new species is one of still deeper
interest, because it helps us TO bridge
over the gap between the mammals and
the cold-blooded vertebrates. One by
one the gulfs which separated fish, am
phlbian, reptile, and bird have been
filled up; and now the last of them, be-
tween reptile and mammal, seems in a
fair way to be filed up in its turn by
these South African remains. The fos-
sill bones in question are those Of an ex-
tinct reptile which in some points of its
skeleton offers an analogy to the orni-
thorhynchus, or duck-mOle of Australia
the creature familiarly known as 'the
beast with bill" The duclS-mole prob
ably possesses more aliases than any
other living animal; but its recognized
scientific title has been finally settled as
platypus; aud Professor Owen has ac-
cordIngly bestowed upon the South AT
rican form the formidable name of
platypodosaurus, which sums up its
main characteristics in a nutshell. 1t
is, in fact, a lzard-like reptile with a
tendency toward certain low types of
mammalian structure.
To estimate the real value of the new
ly discovered creature, and the light
which it casts upon the history of evolu-
ton, we must remember what are the
peculiarities Of the living duck-mOle it
self. 1t is, indeed, with its first cousin,
the echidna, one of those remarkable
surviving types which occasionally
enable us, even in our living world, to
span the apparent gulf between highly
differentiated organic classes. A NAM
NAL only by courtesy, the duck-mole
may be roughly described as fur-cov-
cred animal that lays eggs. 1t is thus
already not very far removed in the
most important particular from the rep.
tiles; while, on the other hand, it clear.
ly leads us on to pouched animals, like
the kangaroos, which bring forth theiI
young alive, it is true, but still in con
dition scarcely differing from that of q
chick in the egg.
While there are still considerable
gaps to be filed in the series at certain
points, we may nevertheless say that the
pedigree of the mammalia from the rep.
tiles is now pretty surely made out
Among living or extinct forms we have,
first, the primitive reptile; then, a rep
tile with nascent mammalian tenden.
cies; next, a still more mammalian but
ovoviviparous form; then, again, a
group of pouched mammals; and then
the various lines of descent eliminating
in our highest existing creatures. And
the geological succession of all these
forms is exactly what, on the theory OF
evolution, one would expect to find it,

AT Mormon conferencein Liverpool
there were 1856 members present, 1t

within the last six months.
TIE return of Gladstone to power has
not checked the exodus from England,
as il was hoped 10 do. There have been
this year 1888 emigrants registered in
outward bound vessels from Liverpool
more than in 1879.
THK Pope has decided to dismiss his
Swiss Guards. 1t may be recollected
that all of the quaint dress of these men
was designed by Michael Angelo
Buonarotti, save the helmet. This, it
appears, he forgot hence their incon-
grueus appearance.
RUSSIAN soldiers get so poor pay for
their services, and their existence in
country districts is so monotonous, that
suicide is becoming very common.
Official returns assert that in Tashkend
no fewer than six officers perished by
their own hand in one week.
TURKEY seems TO become civilized

Turk is having her wedding outfit made

LEO XIII, has enjoinod on the Hun

when the parties agree TO bring up their
issue in the Catholic faith. This meas
ure is extremely unpopular among the
Catholics in Hungary.

Of Spain, One lady grandesse of Spain
stands at the foot of the cradle during
che royal Infants slumber to watch the
precise moment of her awakening; an
other grandesse stands at the head
armed with huge feather fan to chase
away the flies. The royal Spanish
crown, which in silver gilt hangs in front
of the cradle, is the work of Froment,
the great Partisan goldsmith. The cost
of the cradle, without the hangings OF
fine lace and the garniture of maraboui
feathers which surround it, is estimated
at 81 400.

from every part of Germany pouring
into the city. The Emperor and En-
press of Germany were present, were
enthusiastically received, and were
welcomed by the King of SaNony,
Prince Leopold, of Bavaria, Prince Will
lam, of Wurtemburg, and other royal
personages. At eleven o clock the Inn
perial cortege proceeded to the western
entrance of the Cathedral, where it was
received by the Dean, amid the ringing
of bells and artillery salutes. A "Te
Deum" was then sung, after which the
Imperial procession trayersed the Cathe-
dral, and on appearing at the southern
entrance there was tremendous and
prolonged cheering. The Emperor de-
livered short address. A document
recording the completion of the Cathe-
dral was placed in the keystone of the
tower amid the singing of many socie-
ties, the firing of cannon and cheers
of the spectators. 1t was signed by
the Emperor, the Empress and sixty
five Princes and high official dignita-
ries. The Imperial standard was then
hoisted on one of the spires. The pro-
cession of the Kaiser, Empress, Princes
and Princesses from the south portal
of the Cathedral across the square to
the Imperial pavilion was most pictur-
esque. The Emperor in his address
thanked all the German Governments
for their cooperation toward the COM
pletion of the Cathedral, and concluded
by saying. "Let us all salute this su-
perb monument, and offer up our pray

EFF. TrFANY, i'm our Dumb Aninlals,

E. F. TIFFANY, in oar Dumb Aninsals,
tells of a horse that belonged to his
grandfather, that was in the family
very many years and was very old. A
young horse was substituted and the old
one was put in pasture to rest, The
old gentleman's Westinghouse was
three-fourths of mile away, on the top
of hill, The very first Sabbath grand
father went with his new horse to meet
ing, on going out to the shed after the
morning service, he found his old horse
standing in the shed beside the new
one. The old horse had jumped out of
the pasture to go to and stand in his
old place 1t was the only time he ever
did so. How he knew the day, or when
to so, is mystery, for there was no
bell on the Westinghouse. He went
Sabbath after Sabbath to stand in his
old place. Grandfather indulged him
for a while, aud then shut him up in
the barn on Sunday.
