In Mexican college life, hazing is
unknown. ANY attempt at a personal
sindigaity towards Mexican gentle.
man Of any age is an offense which
can be atoned for only by duel, and
Mexican duels are not Partisan duels.
In the absence of this outlet for the
boisterous spiritof youth the Mexican
students every four year raise revo-
luton against the government, no
matter what the government may be,
and it is almost a requirement of ETH
quette that the attempt to overthrow
the government shall be kept up until
some one is killed. Then, and not till
then, does the burlesque revolution
end, and nothing further isheard from
it, This is the meaning Of the recent

interested in natural history that moth

beast which was recently quite COM
mon on the coast of lower California.
1t could hardly be supposed that herds
of creatures fourteen to sixteen feet
long and of equal or even greater girth
could disappea ear from the coast without
being missed, but such appears to have
been the case, for when the Laura in
1884 visited all their old haunts in the
autumn. not one could be found, and
the party had to be contented with taxi
ing number of their skins from San
Girls tobal to the National museum at
Washington. But the California Wal
rus has enjoyed century longer Of ex-
istence than another member of the
Proteus' flock whose remains the
United States naturalists have been
anxiously seeking. The rytinos or
arctic sea cows, were literally and in
fact all eaten up by hungry sailors in
fourteen years.
