A WONDERFUL CREATURE.

1t Possesses the Curious Faculty of Turn
Ing Itself Inside Out.
1t is on record that a tiny animal,
which is common in English ponds,
where it is found attached to duck
weed, can perform the very acrobatic
feat of turning itself inside out. The
animal is merely cylindrical stomach
with mouth at the top, surrounded
which ITS name of hydra has arisen. If
the mouth of q hydra be stretched too
much by food which it has attempted
to swallow, it turns itself out. thus
gets rid of the unpleasant morsel and
then regains its former condition. At
one time it was believed that if one of
these animals was turned inside out
it remained in that state and
performed all the functions of life.
Later researches have shown, however,
that when turned inside out the ami
NAL Immediately strives to reign its
normal condition, and dies if prevent
cd SO doing. Another extraordinary
gift of the hydra is its power of repa-
ration of injuries and reproduction of
new individuals out of portions into
urally divided. If tentacle be cut OFF
an entire animal is formed out of it. If
the body is cut in half it will join to-
gether again should the parts be placed
together, and if not, two individuals
will result. And should parts Of one
individual be placed on the cut service
of another they will grow together

that which is earned, but no tax should
be levied on what is earned. All taxes
should be levied on that which II mo-
nopolized, and every tax should be sim

use OF that which without such pay

privileges have fully paid for them, no

CHAPTER XVIII
Aacd such welcome and unwelcome things
at once
IT'S hard to reconcile.
It was early in the afternoon of cleo
ton day that Allan North returned to
K.
As he went up the steps of the Glenn
emit house, specializing with consider
able anxiety as to what awkward COM
plications might have arisen there dur
ing his brief absence, he was hailed by
Col Dayton with a jovial:
81 say, Mr.. North, you do beat all for
stealing a march on people! It isn't
ten minutes since Warner was around
here with a telegram from you, saying
that we were to expect you on the 4:2O
train; and here you are, walking in on
us at three o'clock as if you had just
dropped from the clouds! How did you
manage it, anyway, man alive?" he
added, with blank hook. ''This three
o'clock train comes from due south, and
you telegraphed from up Vermont
way!'
North laughed as he hurried on to his
room.
81 could reconcile that for you,
colonel, if had time," he said, ''but
just now cannot stop. Be patient, and
it will soon be explained"
Waiting only to make a careful toilet,
North repaired to No. 33 Delaplaine
street, anxious to get through with his
coming interview with Mrs. Maynard
