CONCERNING THE EARS.

As age increases the ear becomes
angular and marked.
Small and thin ears usually denote
delicacy and refinement
The thin, angular ear is said to de-
note bad temper and cruelty.
People with musical.taste generally
have large and prominent ears.
Abnormally large. thick ears are as.
ISOLATED with sensual and coarse

CLIEE pWELLERS.

Marvellous Discoveries in South
ern Colorado by Two Hartford
Explorers. E.
Messrs. Frederick H. Chaplin and
Charles P. Howard Of this city. says
the Hartford Courant, have recently
returned from q most interesting and
fruitful exploring expedition in south
srn Colorado. They made special
search for and among the various cliff
dwellings in the Mancos canyon. They
are experienced climbers. Mr.. Chaplin
is member of the Appalachian club;
mas climbed Mount Blanc and the ex-
tremely difficult Rothhorn at Zermatt,
and has published numerous articles
in the Appalachian and other maga-
zines. Mr.. Howard climbed Mount
Blanc with Mr.. Chaplin. and made the
ascent of the Matterhorn by himself. "
They went out to the Mancos canyon
mainly to take photographs OF the In
teresting objects there, but they also
made many discoveries themselves.
The pictures Mr.. Chaplin makes are
perfect and he has brought from this
trip collection that are simply mar
velous and that show us more about
the curious cliff dwellings than can be
told in words, though the story accom-
panying the picture. as he tells it,
makes the scenes complete.
These dwellings in the Mancos cam
yon were discovered last December.
and very few people have seen any
OF them. They are scattered nll along
the lofty walls OF the canyon and its
tributaries. You find them In count

New Iealand's Bush Rats.

Countless swnms of rats periodi-
cally make their appearance in the
bush country of the South Island, New
Zealand. saws the Philadelphia Pub ic
Ledger. These invarisbly come in the
spring. aud apparently periods oil
about four years intervene between
their visits.
In a paper published in the new
volume of the transactions and Pro-
ceedings of the New Zealand Institute,
Joseph Rutland brings together some
other interesting notes on the bush
rat.
In size and general appearance 1t
differs mach from the common brown
rat. The average weight of fun
grown specimens is about two ounces.
The fur on the upper portions of the
body is dark brown, inclining to
black on the lower portions white or
grayish white. The head is shorter,
the snout less sharp, and the counte-
nance less fierce than in the brown
species.
On the open ground bush rats move
comparatively slowly, evidently fini-
ing much difficulty in surmoun'ing
clods and other inn ediments; hence
they are easily taken aud destroyed.
In running they do not arch The back
as much as the brown rat. This awG-
wardness OH the ground is at once ex-
changed for extreme activity when
they climb trees. These they ascend
with the nimblencss of flies, running
out TO the very ex;re;nlties of the
branches with amazing quickncss;
hence, when pursued, they invariably
make for trees if any are within reach.
The instinc which impclls them to
seek safety by leaving the ground is
evidently strong. A rat, on being
disturbed by plough, ran for while
before the moving implement, and
then up the norse reins, which were
dragging along the ground.
Another popularity of these animals
is that wien suddenly startled or pur-
sued they cry out with tear, thus be.
lrayimg their whereabouts, au indis
;:ction Of which the common rat i,
never guilty.
