THE preparations for a united attempt

THE preparations for united attempt
to reduce woTkir & hours to eight hours q
day have now been going on for the last
four months, and the delegates from
every trade represented In the councils
OF the Knights Of Labor have been asked
TO report upon the advisability Of trying
TO enforce the change on the lst Of May
next. In some trades In which the
hours have always been long, and where
the men are paid by piece work, there
may be some unwillingness TO accept o
reduction which will reduce the wages
by one'third. even though onethird
more men can and employment In con
sequence. Tho advocates Of the move
are now lmpressing upon the labor 90

eight hour rule. even II many Of their
members would prefer, personally, to 20

The First Member OF an Insect Eating
Family Ever Brought to This Country.
Washington SpcciaL1
The National Museum has recently OBJ
tanned a live specimen of the Sotenodon
CUbdnus, very rare animal belonging to
the order OF the insect-eaters. Members of
this family are found only i'm Cuba and
Hayti, aud live one has never heretofore
been seen in this country or in Europe.
Our naturaliSts will now, therefore, have
their first opportunity for studying the
habits of this curious creature. 1t was OBJ
tained through United States Consul
Reimer at Santiago and was shipped to
the National Museum, together with two
others, which, however, died during the
voyage, and their bodies were pre-
served in alcohol. Mr.. True, the cur
ator OF the mammal section of the mu-
scum. states that very little is known of
the habits OF these animals except that
they sleep during the day and go out at
night to search for the insects upon which
they chiefly feed. Their long flexible
noses are supposed to be useful in smelling
out their prey. This is perhaps the most
curious feature about these animals
Their bodies are covered with coarse black
hair, with the exception of the runp,
which is bare. The solenodon belongs TO
the same order as the mole, but they con-
stitute family by themselves. Since the
arrival at the museum this solenodon has
