No Watcr-rats in Ireland.

In an interesting article on the vole
of water-rat, by Mr.. Grant Allen, in
the Country Gentleman, the writer dis
cusses the question why certain ami
mails, such as snakes, vipers, water rats
&C., are not found in Ireland. For
the real solution of the problem, he
says, we must 60 back to the time
when England, Ireland, and the Con-
tinent were united by broad belt of
land across the beds of the English
Channel, st. Georges Channel and the
North Sea. 1t is now an ascertained
fact that in the very latest geological
period, known as the glacial epoch,
the whole surface ofthe British Islands
Except an insignificant strip of the
south COAST was covered from end to
end with deep coating of glaciers,
like that which now develops all polar
lands, and while this condition of
things prevailed there were, of course,
no animals of any sort in all Britain,
or, at any rate, none but few arctic
types. After the ice melted, however,
the existing British fauna, such as it is,
began to occupy the land, and the fact
that it did so is one proof, though by
no means the only proof, that COM
munication with the Continent then
existed across the bed of the North Sea.
Now the animals only pushed their
way very slowly into the newly-cleared
region as the ice melted away, and the
consequence is that only some forty
kinds of mammals out of the whole
European fauna had penetrated as far
as England before the gradual submer-
gence of the lowland belt separated it
from the Continent by forming the in.
closing arms of the sea. But Ireland
lies even further west than England,
and there is reason to believe that ST..
Georges Channel had all been flooded
some time before the waves of the At
lantic broke down the last link be-
tween Dover and Calais. Accordingly,
Ireland never got her fair share ofland
animals at all, for though the wolf
and fox, and the Irish hare, and many
other quickly migrating creatures, had
time to cross the intervening belt be-
fore the submergence, several smaller
or slower creatures, including the
vipers, did not get over the ground
fast enough, and were thus shut out
for ever from the Isle of Saints.
Among them were the whole race of
voles, and that is the reason why Ire
land to this day has no water-rats,

A Queer Case of'NIadness.


On Saturday night, Deputy Sheriff
Frank Motfatt, Of Oakland, arrived
here with an insane patient, whose
case is one of the most extraordinary
on record. The crazy man, Roger
Williams, is about % years of age, tall
and of extremely slender build. He
is a graduate of an Eastern college of
high repute, and before his reason was
overthrown he was recognized among
his associates as a man of fine mind
and vigorous intellect. Being over
worked in the city, he went to farm
near Livermore, but there his health
continued to fail. There was con-
slant wasting away of blood and It's
sue, that left him almost a skeleton.
Among his fellow-workers on the farm
was a young man of about his own
age, who had served an apprenticeship
with doctor. They became warm
friends and in their conversations it
was suggested that Williams submit
to an experiment in TRANSMISSION of
blood, in hopes that he would gain
strength by it. The instruments were
secured, but no one could be found
who was willing to be bled in behalf
of Roger, and after some delay it was
decided to use the blood of an animal.
1t was here that it was proved that a
little learning is dangerous thing.
At first calf was suggested as the
blood supply, but finally it was de-
cided to sacrifice cat, or a whole COL
pny of cats. The operation was per-
formed, the blood being taken from a
number Of cats and injected into the
veins Of Williams.
The experiment was to an extent
successful. The man gained strength
and had hope of ultimate recovery,
but soon he began to brood over the
consequences of incorporating the
blood of cats into his own system, and
so heavily did 1T weigh upon his mind
that his friends feared for his sanity.
He refused to so to bed, saying that
he believed he was being transformed
into cat. At night, when not asleep,
he would wander about the house,
jumping the garden fence until tired
out, when he would climb to the root
and perch on the chimney. He sought
the society of other cats, and at inter-
walls would try to fight with them, only
succeeding, however, in soaring them
away, when he would retreat to the
house until rested. He manifested
the greatest terror of handles
and bootjacks, and at last his mania
so grew on him that he was confined
until examined for commitment to the
asylum. During the examination he
showed wonderful propensity for
jumping, several times running on all
fours and jumping over the doctors.
All the time of his antics he kept up
an ear-piercing mewing, and at the
sight of dogs became frantic.
