Oar boys have retained from their trip to
inspect the rope at the deer lick ard found
it to be in dangerous condition. In order
to test it, they sent one of their number
over on the rop,. e. A. Davis. being the
lightest weight, started over and when
about half way scross two strands of the
rope broke, letting him into the water waist
deep. Luckily, however, it broke on this
side and William Bogue and S. l.. Hender-
son caught hold of the broken strands and
twisted them with a stick SO that it held
until he got across. Caleb is a pucky lad;
when asked if he was scared when he struck
the water, replied: sNo; had all tue strands
broken, l could have held onto the end and
hoated ashore" We doubt if he could have
done SO, the water is deep and very
swift. MIR. Ostrander says he will put a
wire rope across, and We think he should
do SO without delay, as tomorrow is August

Trepang, or tripang, is, according to

name by which considerable number
of species of most curious sea animals
are designated; they are also known as
sea rollers, sea Der, In French as
cornichons de mer, and scientifically as
holothurias. They are among the most
sluggish of animals. Only the fixed or
stationary animals are slower than the
holothurias. They lie like gray, brown
or black leather pipes or cylinders on
the bottom of the sea. One might watch
them half day long, If he had nothing

Curious Relation Between Their Markings

Curious Relation between Their Markings
and Their Inherited Disposition
'sDid you ever keep white mice?'' said
a naturalist "Never did. Ell? Well, they
are very interesting creatures, but they
exhibit one freak occasionally which
has puzzled me great deal OF course
you know that they are aibnos-that is
to say, lusus nature. Now and then
among ordinary gray mice one or two
white ones will be born 1t is the same
with rats Because they are odd and
pretty such albinos are sometimes pre-
served and pair of them bred from.
Naturally, they tend to reproduce
albinisn in their progeny, but some of
the latter from generation to G 'nera-
ton are gray, reverting to the original
ind normal color of the stock The
gray ones, however, are destroyed al
ways by the fancier, and at length
pure strain of white mice is obtained.
Precisely the same thing is done with
white rabbits, which are likewise al
binos. All white cats are apt to have
pink eyes, and to be nearly or quite
blind. As for the mice, even in race
Of white ones that has long been eulti-
waited by selection gray specimen is
likely to turn up occasionally"
ssAll gray, like the ordinary mice?"
EXACTLY SO. Now. it is just here
that the puzzle I speak of comes in.
Fake a litter of white mice in which
there are couple of gray ones and yon
will find that the behavior of the gray
nice is altogether different from that
Of their white brothers and sisters
Whereas the white ones show no fear
If human beings whatever having be-
some accustomed to them through
many generations, the gray mice from
the earliest infancy exhibit dread of
man. In fact, they behave precisely as
small wild mice in nest would do
Evidently reverting to the color Of
their untamed ancestors they have at
the same time resumed the instincts of

No, cannot pretend to account for it
1t is psychological problem, too deep
for science to do more than guess at.
For reasons which we are not able to
comprehend there is certain relation
between color and disposition in ami

that white horses are the most gentle

THE STONE STAR.
It Is One of the Meat Curious Products

It Is One of the Meat Curious Products
of the Mineral Kingdom.
The asterias or star stones are among
the most wonderful productions of the
mineral kingdom. They are conun-
drums, the star sapphire being gray
ish blue, the star ruby bright red, the
star topaz straw yellow. The star APP
pearance in the stone Is caused, accord
ing to some mineralogists, by a foreign
substance in the gem; others say it is
due to peculiarities of capitalization.
Whatever it may be, advantage is taken
Of it by the lapidary, who cuts the stone
in the shape Of a dome, beginning at
the center of the star and making the
points radiate to the circumference.
The stone has six points. and as the
light plays on the surface Of the stone
the bright lines OF the star change with
the position of the gem, and produce a
singularly beautiful effect.
These stones, says an exchange, are
very valuable, the best specimens be-
ing, it is said, worth as much as dia-
monds of the same weight Burton,
the great Oriental traveller, had star
sapphire, which he always carried on
his person; and in the heart Of Arabia,
or in the deserts of Africa, the sight of
this wonderful gem always inspired a
respect that was akin to reverence.
The wild Arabs and negroes would gaze
at the stone, then at its possessor, and,
concluding that he had talisman Of
unexampled power, would render him
all possible assistance for fear of in
curing his vengeance.

PUNISHMENT cor A KING,

The Little Spanish Ruler Is Laid Across
His Mothers Knee.
The king of Spain is more or less
naughty boy, and he does not always
treat his subjects with that gracious
courtesy which is expected from mon
archs in these times. The other day,
says Harper's Young People, when he
was driving with his nurse, the boy
king is said to have put out his tongue
at the world In general, and the resi-
dents of Madrid in particular The
editor of republican newspaper there
upon proceeded to make political cap
ital out of the event, and drew a moral
that kings are not needed In this age.
When the news of the kings behavior
reached Queen Christina through the
newspapers, it is said that she first
lectured her son on his duties and re-
sponsibilihes, and then laying him
across her royal knee administered a
vigorous spanking. This may not be
the touch that makes the whole world
kin, but great many little American
democrats will know hereafter how to
yympathize with this son of royalty.
