The Puf.Adder.

Professor Drummond, in his book on
Tropical Africa, says of one of the
curious reptiles of Africa: One of the
most beautiful and ornate OF all the
tropical reptiles is the puff-adder. The
animal, the bite of which is certain
death, is from three to five feet long,
and disproportionately thick, being in
some parts almost as thick us the lower
part of the thigh. The whole body is
ornamented with strange devices in
green, yellow and black, and lying in
museum its glittering coils certainly
form q most striking object. But in ma
ture the puff-adder has very different
background. It is essentially forest
animal, its true habitat being
among the fallen leaves in the deep
shade of the trees by the banks OF
streams. Now, in such position, at
the distance of foot or two, its appear
ance so exactly resembles the forest bed
as to be almost indistipguishsble from
it. l was once Just throwing myself
down under a tree to rest when, stopping
to clear the spot, noticed peculiar
pattern among the leaves. / started
back in horror to find puff-adder of the
largest size, its thick back only visible,
and its fangs within a few inches of my
face as I stopped. 1t was lying con-
cealed among fallen leaves so like itself
that, but for the exceptional caution
which in African travel becomes a habit,
| should certainly have sat down upon
it, and to sit down upon puff-adder is
to sit down for the last time. I think
this celebration in the puff-adder is more
than that of warning, and that this semi
somnolent attitude is not always the
mere attitude Of repose. This reptile
lay lengthwise, concealed, al. but few
inches, among the withered leaves.
Now the popularity of the puff-adder is
that it strikes backward. Lying on the
ground, therefore, it commands, as it
we're, its whole rear, and the moment
any part is touched, the head doubles
backward with inconceivable swiftness,
and the poison fangs close upon their
victim. The puff ladder in this way
forms sort of horrid trap set in the
woods, which may be altogether upper
ceived till it shuts with sudden spring
upon it's prey.

MANY of the animals native and Pc
ouliar to this continent are becoming
extinct. The buffalo, less than twenty
years sgo, by its numerous herds stopped
railroad train on the western plains.
1t is now 30 nearly extinct that it has
become curiosity in menagcries. Five
years ago Western hunters announced
that the last great herd had disappeared.
A herd of elk once dispersed a Califor-
MIA legislature, but this animal is now
very rare in that State, and is becoming
scarce all over the country. The beaver,
the moose, the cariboo, the antelope, the
mountain sheep are disappearing fast
before trappers aud pot-hunters with
railroad facilities" The manatee, of
Florida, will be extinct before the
American people generally know of it's
existence. The Rocky Mountain goat is
already almost an extinct animal. The
grizzly bear is rarely found now where
once his tracks were abundant. The
elephant seal OF our Western coast is
actually extinct, and recent report
from California mentions preparations
to 'olean out the walrus" up in Alaska.

The Kreus Zeitung prints letter from
Togoland, Africa, saying that sltve
traders are turning their route to the
Togo coast and that in December slave
caravan arrived at LONE from Sagala.
This is on the old slave coast of West
Africn, north Of the Gulf of Guinea. At
tention has been SO strongly drawn to
the horrors Of the slave trade in West
and Central Africa that the revival of
the evil in West Africa has hardly been
noticed. In the British territory of
Sierra Leone while ago, chief living
outside the district swept down upon
the southern part of the country, aud
took 700 women and 200 men prisoners.
They were dragged off to slavery, and,
though they are all British subjects
nothing has been done to rescue them.
The opponents of British cooperation
with the Germans in the east coast slave
blockade assert that Great Britain had
better abolish slavery in her own terri
tory before she seeks work in that line
in other regions. ...

Mimicry in Nature.

Go TO the sea-shore and observe the
grasshoppers among the beach grass.
They fly up at your approach, whiz off
a rod or so, and alight an you see
them9 They are colored so nearly like
the sands they live upon that detection
OF one at rest is almost impossible.
On yonder grassy bluff, stones throw
away, you will find none of them, but
other kinds equally, or almost equally,
lost to sight by their surroundings.
What chance of life for either if they
suddenly changed places They would
be so conspicuous that every passing
bird or other insectivorous creature
would sight them. OF course, these pro-
tective colors have been gained by
slow steps. Every grasshopper that
found its preferred food among the
sands was liable to be eaten. In the
long run just those would be eaten
which were most easily seen. One
which varied in coloring in never so
small degree, so as to be less easily
seen than his brother, would live to
perpetuate his kind, and his brother
come to an untimely end; the progeny
would show the fortunate variation, and
DO more likely to be spared to transmit
in increased volume the probability Of
the happy coloring. Given, then, q
brood OF grasshoppers that find their
preferred food in sandy spots, and un-
less other and more powerful forces act
npon them il must result, from their La
bility to be eaten by creatures fond Of
grasshoppers, that in time they will re-
semble in coloring the sand on which
they live; it is impossible that they
should not. Any creature not specially
protected by nauseousness, or habit, or
special device of some sort, must in the
very nature Of things, if it is to live 1T
all, have some otheT protection, and
that afforded by eo'of or pattern is by
far the most comfnon. The world is
made up of enters nd eaten, Of devices

OLIVE culture in California is rapidly
assuming large proportions. There are
orchards there Of $4,000 trees, and
thousands more are being set annually.
In that sunny cline, the olive crop is rs
absolutely sure as anything earthly can
BE-. It is gathered in December and
January, when help is plentiful, and
keeps remarkably we'll. The trees are
set thirty.five feet apart, and as ten
years are required to bring them from
