at Music Hall.
The Walter Emerson Concert Company
gave a fine concert in the Peoples course
at Music Hall last evening. The hall was
we'll filled and the audience very appre-
ciative, so much so, in fact, that each
selection called for an encore, and the con-
cert was very long in consequence, but
not too long to suit the listeners.
Mr.. Emerson, well-known as one OF the
most finished cornetists in the world, IL
not the very first, delighted the audience
with his rendition of Aubar's Sounds
from the Alps" Sullivan's Lost Chord"
the ballad, ~ Cannot Sing the Old
Songs" and other sentimental and reliR
ious selections. His playing is revela-
ton of the power of the cornet, and the
different styles of music, triple-tongue
and melody seemed to roll from the in
strument without effort on the part of the
performer.

Llgnunouse Keeper Israel, who was in

exhibition of whales occurred right in
front of the lighthouse the other day.
Half dozen whales of from thirty-five
to forty feet in length were playing for
an hour, or preaching, as whalers call it.
This is running out of the water exactly
as fish does and falling back heavily
on the ocean, SO as to thrash off the bar
nacles that cover their under side. 1t is
a fiat batnacle, rayed in the gray and
white streaks from a small central hole.
The variety of barnacle coming from
colder northern waters ''gets SICK" in
nautical phrase, in the warm southern
waters where the whales come to breed,
and are easily shaken off by little eff

whale never ventured into these waters
unless heavily loaded with barnacles,

a Wonderful Mammal which Cost
the British Association ose'
$4,000.

The n4atypus-- a small mole4ike beast
NJ Australia. has been voted the palm
foy being the most extraordinary man.
NAL In t.re known world For the hsst
tsyeuty-years its skin has been highly
urised as an article Of commerce, yet
during all of that time scientists have
been trying to settle the question wheth-
ar il is born alive or matched from an
egg. During the summer of 1885. a
cablegram was sent from Sydney, An
straIia, to London, by Professor Liver
sidge to he-effect that Mr.. w. II. Caid-
well, who holds the Balfour travelling
fellowship of Cambridge, had at last set.
tied the matter. Mr. Caldwell was sent
out to Australia by the British associa-
ton for the express purpose of studyine
the life history of this wonderful Great,
ure, mission wfichwas finally reys-ard-
ed IN the year above mentioned by the
discovery ofths eggs and nest Of this
irving contradiction of nature.
Gerard Krefft, a gentleman sent ont
by the British scientific societies about
1850, offered as high as $500 for an egg
or the piatypus without being able to OBJ
tam one. Still the Bushmen of the re-
g1on inhabited blythe creature positively
declared that the animal did lay eggs,
even If they had failed to produce one at
the request of the scientists, stimulated
by the promise of $1,000 if they would
produce pair of freshly Matched young.
During Kreffts tour of investigation
numbers of platypus were caught, many
IN the pairing season, and dissected, yet
no traces of eggs were found. whereupon
SCIENTISTS were inclined to believe that
the creatures had been misrepresented
when spoken of in connection with the
eggs, and that they were really vivipar-
GUS.
The body of the platypus resembles
the mole, and is covered with close,
short, grayish brown fur. Like the
beaver, its tail is broad and fiattened.
A horny extension of the jaws forms a
beak like that of duck, their margins
being sheathed with horn and supplied
with transverse horny plates, two in each
jaw, but these are not true teeth. The
toes are united by membrane or web,
50 that the animal is enabled to swim
with great ease. 1t inhabits small
streams and ponds, living principally, if
not wholly, ON insects. When the young
are Matched they are blind and quite
naked. The method by which they OBJ
tain milk from the mother is still OBJ
scure, as the creature has no nipples,
only fat surface; nor is there any mar
supial pouch, The beak of the young is
wholly unlike that of an adult.
II cost the British association over
$4,000 to ascertain the above facts.
First, the instruments and apparatus
with which Mr.. Caldwell was fitted out
cost 81 900. Besides that, he spent over
fourteen months in Australia before he
was able to take the coveted peep at the
rare creatures eggs
