THE COOLIE FERRY AT DETROIT.
Canadian Pacific G. Conductors Assist Chi
nese to Cross the Line.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. %. - Acting
Secretary Spaulding today addressed to
E. A. Twohui. deputy collector of customs
at Montreal, a letter stating that an officer
of the treasury department investigating
alleged violations of the Chinese exclus-
ion Law informs the department that since
May 1 about 200 Chinese have taken trains
at Toronto for points on the Michigan
frontier. The inspectors report that
the interest manifested by certain EN-
ployes of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way in the transportation of Chinese to
the frontier is somewhat suggestive, and
investigation shows that very few Chinese
are landed in Windsor, opposite Detroit,
but night trains from Toronto frequently
stop at race course where there
is no station and no occasion to
stop. The race track is two miles from
Windsor. and there Is little doubt that
the conductors of the trains stop there
and turn the Chinese passengers
over to smugglers, thus avoid
ing their being seen at the city
depot by customs inspectors. Spaulding
requests that the facts be submitted to the
officials of the Canadian Pacific with a
view to such action as will prevent the
attempted violation of the law by en-
ployes Of the company.

Animals That Do Not Drink.

Many animals never drink, but absorb
sufficient moisture from their tissues,
from the air or from their foods. Mr..
Blanchard in his book on Abyssinia, says
that neither the doreas nor Bennett's ga
zelle (two allied species) ever drink.
Darwin states, in his Voyage Of Nat
uralist," that unless the huanacoes, cr
wild llamas of Patagonia, drink salt
water, in many localities they must
drink none at all. The large and inter-
estiug group of sloths are alike in never
drinking. A parrot is said to have lived
in the Geological Gardens, Regents Park,
for fifty-two years without a drop Of
water. 1t is often said that rabbits in 0
wild state never drink. The late Rev.
]. G. Wood doubted whether this idea
was correct, and recorded the fact that
they feed on the herbage when it is
heavy with Gew, and therefore practically
drink when eating. In the autumn aud
winter, when sheep are feeding on tur-
nips, they require little or no water.-
