Mr.. Evesham glowered at the offend

indignant for utterance. Then, turning
the full glare of his piercing black eyes,

tones:

her arms the child, whom it seemed as

HUANACO DYlNG-PLACES.


Strange Instinct Among the Huanacos
in Patagonia.
1t is well known that at the southern
extremity of Patagonia the huanacos
have dying place, a SPOT to which all
the individuals inhabiting the sur
rounding plains repair at the approach
of death to deposit their bones. Oar
win and Fitzroy first recorded this
strange instinct in their personal mar
ratives, and their observations have
since been fully confirmed by others.
The best known of these dying or
burial places are on the banks of the
Santa Cruz and Gallegos rivers, where
the river valleys are covered
with dense primeval thickets of
bushes and trees of stunted
growth; there the ground is COW
cred with the bones of countless dead
generations. "The animals, says Dar-
win, sin most cases must have crawled,
before dying, beneath and among the
bushes" A strange instinct in a crea-
ture so pre-eminently social in it's hab-
it's, dweller all its life long on the
open, barren plateaus and mountain
sides"
What subject for painter The
gray wilderness of dwarf thorn trees,
aged and grotesque and scanty-leaved,
hourished for thousand years on the
bones that whiten the stony ground at
their roots, the interior lit family with
the rays of the departing sun, chill and
gray, and silent and motionless-the
huanacos' Galgotha. In the long CEN
turies, stretching back into a dim, i'm
measurable past, so many of this race
have journeyed hither from the noun
tain and the plain to suffer the
sharp pang of death, that, to
the imagination, something of it all
seems to have passed into the
hushed and mournful nature. And now
one more, the latest pilgrim, has come,
all his little strength spent in his strug-
giles to penetrate the close thicket; look
ing old and gaunt and ghostly in the
twilight; with long ragged hair; star
ing into the gloom out of fdeath-dimmed,
sunken eyes. One artist we have who
might show it to us on canvas, who
would be able to catch the feeling OF
of such a scene-of that mysterious,
passionless tradgedy of nature-the
painter mean, of the "Prodigal" and
the "Lioness Defending Her Cubs"
To his account of the animals dying
place and instinct Darwin adds: II dc
not at all understand the reason of this,
but | may observe that the wounded
huanacos at the Santa Cruz invariably
walked toword the river Longman's

about something, judging by her ac-

her until at midnight of the second day,
when she came to me at station where
the cars stopped few moments, and
asked my assistance,
"Oh, sir" she said, "would you be so
kind as to show me the way TO the bag

"Here is porter. He will help you,
but must return to my car"
Like flash she sprung at me and
caught me by the throat.
"Wretch! where is my husband! What
have you done with him?"
Half strangled seized her hands, and

for help. When she saw the baggage

Census of "a Cheese.

DIR. Adametz, Swiss scholar, has
been taking a census of the inhabitants
of a cheese. The microscopic examina-
ton of one ''gramm' of fresh Emmen-
thaler cheese, such as is sold in En-
gland under the name of Gruyere, con-
tanned no fewer than eighty thousand
so-called microbes. This prodigious en-
campment, after seventy days, proved
to have increased to tribe of eight
hundred thousand. Another sort of
cheese contained within a single
''gramm" board and lodging for about
two million microbes, while in a
''gramm" cut from the same rind of the
cheese DR.. Adametz found about five
million of these inhabitantsl A piece
of cheese upon our tables of few
pounds weight may consequently con-
tain more microbe inhabitants than
