A Two-LEGGED CAIF.-The town of
Shiocton, Wis. rejoices in the possession
of two-legged calf. The abnormal spec
linen, which is of Durham stock, is nova
week old, OF beautiful creamy white
color, pink-tinted ears, we'll shaped,
heavily bodied (its weight is about 125
pounds) and of the male persuasion.
In place of the ordinary fore-legs there
is a vacancy. The shoulder-blades are
seen and felt, as usual, but there are no
extra processes or unusual development
in any way; simply this specimen of the
order ruminantian has two legs only in
stead Of four.

strong, in excellent condition physically,

rare curiosity.
THE PROPOSED NEW SEA.-The cost of
NJ. de Lesseps' projected North African
sea is estimated at $30,000,000, and the
time required for making the cutting is
stated to be five years. In his report on
the feasibility of the undertaking, pre-
sented to the Academy Of Sciences, NJ. de
Lesseps9said that "as the bed will be every
where composed of mud to the depth of
twenty metres, there will be secure an
chorage for every vessel" NJ. de Lesseps
then asserted that the change of climate
produced by carrying out the scheme
would permit vast spaces IN the neigh
borhood of the sea, now waste and bar
rem. 10 be brought under cultivation. All
that the projectors ask as a concession is
the land which will form the banks of
thesinland sea. This sounds superlatively
modest, it is true, but if the scheme is
carried gout and there is no practical
opposition on the part of the sun by
"dying process" NJ. de Lesseps and his
friends will be sole masters of the Sahara
Sea, and the tolls of the Suez Canal
would be as nothing to the charges they
might, and possibly would, charge for
wharfage and loading dues.
