The Australian lamprey has its prin-
eipal habitat in the Murray river, and
consequently in the dry seasons it is apt
to DO imbedded beneath the hardened
clay, where no water is, As the stream
recedes, the animal fills its pouch and
disappears into the soft mud below,
there to remain until the drought has
| passed away, subsisting on the moisture
| which it has learned to store in a special
lied receptacle at the side of the head.
As matter Of fact, the fish has mas
tered the difficult question of water stor-
age on its own account before the race
of homo sapiens has been able to solve
the same problem in the island cont.
nent, -..t
1t is an interesting question whether
this Australian lamprey is not linger-
ing example of the fish of Miocene ages,
and as such may be considered as an an.
cestral type of European lampreys. A
sea lampTey that / examined alive,
caught in the salmon nets Of the tidal
estuary, had a dintinct tendency to
swell at either side of the head, as if the
pouch might be forthcoming in time Of
actual necessity. If the Australian type
is not the absolute ancestor Of the British
genera, it is at least reasonable to sup
pose that it is an older form, and that
the divergent genera and species have
descended along different lines in the
great life struggle. That the pouch Of
the antipodean lamprey is intended for
the storage of water is fact that can
hardly be doubted by any one who has
seen the species amid its peculiar sur,
roundings. Magazine.

Pennington presented gala appear
ance Monday after the bank officials had
cashed checks Of the Indians to the
amount of $200,000. Every hitehing
post was surrounded by ponies. Those
already possessing vehicles drove di-
reetly to the livery stables. Much curl
osity was felt as to how the Indians
would spend their gold Their first pur-
ehases were made at the fruit and con-
feetionery stores One squaw quietly
bought generous allowance Of candy,
fruits, nuts, crackers and fifty cents
worth Of chewing gum Every Indian,
large and small, was soon seen eating on
carrying oranges. In short time many
of the men had bought and donned new
suits Of clothes. They exhibited a
marked preference in these selections
for navy blue, The squaws meanwhile
were fast reducing the merchants stocks
of blankets, calicoes, etc.
By noon the agricultural implement
houses had sold every style Of vehicle in
their possession, and one merchant had
orders enough for a carload Of spring
wagons or ''hacks," 4" Harness men soon
found their stocks nearly cleaned out
by the Indians. Several of them paid
high prices for horses in the morning.,
and during the afternoon many farmers
brought horses to town, which they dis
posed Of at terms far beyond their ex-
pectations, AT noon the Indians eager
ly sought the hotels for dinner. The
squaws seemed to retain complete CON
troll of the purses. The black eyed
maiden purchased the highest priced
hat in millinery store.
An old squaw selected new cart,
and paid $3.50 for horse, She then pur-
chased a new harness and stored away
numerous packages under the seat after
which she tied the poor, little, tagged
cayuse pony ION which she had come to
town. behind, spread q new blanket over
her lap and turned her high checked
spirited horse toward the mission. By
4 o'clock a long line of new buggies,
wagons and carts we'll laden with every
conceivable article of merchandise
wound its way over the mountain to the
mission, The Indians were quiet, or
derly and dignihedly polite, Their COM
fdence in the townspeople was evident,
as when they emerged from the bank
with their large sacks Of money they
sat on the street corners to count it.
The happy father of several pappooses
retired with his abundant supply to an
alley, whore he sat oomposedly counting

III the bone caves of the south OF

An old New Yorker, who takes snuff
regularly, wrote to Sanitary superiu-
tendent Edison few days ago to COM
plain that some snuff which he had been
using had caused intlammatory symp-
toms which suggested poison. DR.. Ed
son examined the sample of snuff which
was sent with the complaint and discov-
cred that chromate of lead, known in
the trade as chrome yellow, had been
mixed with the snuff to brighten it. He
next asGertained where the snuff was
manufactured in the city, and called on
the manufacturer for an explanation.
Subsequently the manufacturer de.
clared that he had used the poisonous
color in the snuff by mistake, supposing
that he was using harmless means Of
improving the appearance of the article.
He promised to stop using chrome yell
low, and also consented to destroy some
of his stock which had been colored with
it.-New York Letter.

called because it was scarcely larger
than the first joint of the thumb; now
Mr.. Frowde, of Oxford, England, is out
with marvellous little book, which has
been dubbed the "Finger Prayer Book. ."
This tiny volume has 700 pages and is
bound in morocco and velvet with brass

quarters of an ounce, is only inch in
breadth, 815 inches in length and Il
of an inch in thickness. It is difficult
for one to believe that book Of 700
pages could be made thin enough to con-
veniently go into a common pocket
purse, but this is what Mr.. Frowde has
achieved in his Finger Prayer Book"
