the members left the groupe, approa-
ched the leader of the band and pulled
out little paper box, which he emp
tied into his left hand, while the eye
of the leader followed every movement.
Then he took plate in his right hand
and passed it around. There was a
large collection, but every one won

chief, when questioned. 1--WE are all

A Curiosity in the Smithsonian.

One sces mary curious things while
strolling through the Smithsonian In
stitution. 10 one of the cases there Is a
small. irregular piece of mattng.
about six inches long and two or three
wide. 1t is made of the bark Of the
Southern cane, and although coarse
when compared with the mating made
by the Chinese, it is well and neatly
made. This small piece of mans ham
diwork might form the basis for treat
ises and lectures innumerable. l. was
found on Petit Ansc Island, near Yer
million bay, coast OF Louisiana. This
island contains mine of rock salt,
which was discovered during the late
war, and w:ch seems to be unlimited
in depth and extent. Not far from the
surface of the salt the piece of mat
ting was discovered, and it was prob
ably preserved by the salt Two feet
above the mating were found the
tusks and bones of an elephant, and
these bones were fourteen feet below
the present surface of the soil. The
question irresistib'y arises, how many
years has it been since elephants lived
upon this continent, and what race oi
men capable of manufacturing such
mating, lived and fonrished hundreds
Of years before them?-[ Washington

It is popularity supposed that the
exhalation Of carbonic acid gas from
decomposing bodies make residence in
the vicinity Of cemetery very insa-
lubrious A writer in the popular
Science Monthly" shows that this is
an error. Calculations 60 to show
that the combustion Of eliminating
gas alone, in Paris, produced last year
a quantity of carbonic acid thirty
Eve hundred times more considerable
than ell the dead buried in the GENE
teries during five years could give at
the maximum rate of exhaIation. The
grand opera house alone gives out ev-
cry year thirteen times more carbonic
acid from its gaslig!,ts than could be
disengaged from all the cemeteries put
together, even if all their carbon were
converted into gas.
