time when the ice began to move out Of the
river two years ago and eight years ago, (the
latter was the year VI the big ice gorge al
Lymsn's moLnd.) In 1881 the Ice in the Hi
nois began to move rapidly on March 18th
friday, but on Saturday the weather turned
colder, heavy snow fell on that and the
following day. This remained on the ground
in some places until some time IN April. In
1915 the ice broke up and began moving on
March 18th, which was the day the gorge wa,
formed ut Lymans. But before there had
been any damage Of any consequence cold
weather set In again and lasted for two weeks.
The water gradually went down and the Ice
all disappeared about the first of April.

A Queer Race in aapan.

In her book on Japan Miss Bird de-
scribed the curious people called Amos
who live in the province of Soudal and
are supposed to be the aboriginal race of
the country. They are thiclly covered with
hair, aud Miss Bird asserts that she saw
tive boys whose backs were covered with
fur as soft and fine as that of a cat" A
creature similar in most respects to the
Amos is now on exhibition as 1.-THE missing
ink at the Royal aquarium, London.
According to the published accouuts she
was caught with her parents in the forest
near Laos by a Norwegian explorer named
Beck. When the little one attempted 10
wander the parents called her back with a
plaintive cry, "Kra-o," and that is the
name which has since been given to her.
The father died at Laos, and the king of
Siam r, tanned the mother at Bangkok, but
allowed the child to proceed to England.
Her eyes are large, dark and lustrous; the
nose Is iiattened, the uostriIs scarcely show
ing; the cheeks are fat and pouch-like, the
lower lin only rather thicker than is com
mon in Europeans; but the chief peculiari-
aritv is the strong and abundant hair. On
the head It is black thick and straight, and
grows over the forehead down to the heavy
eyebrows. and is continued III whisker-like
locks down the cheeks. The res. of the face
is covered with a fine, dark, downy hair.
