Queer Creatures.

A highly respectable Indian gentleman,
a member of the Bombay Anthropological
sOciety-Mr. Sarat Chandra MitraLhas
come forward with an apparently well
authenticated story of girl who has
been discovered in Jalpaiguri, in the den
of a bear. The young persons habits
were decidedly bearish, for she tried to
bite and scratch those who came near her,
went down son all tours" for locomotion
and "growled at meals" The orphanage
of the New DispensatiOn church, in Cal
cutta could make nothing of the ferocious
founding, who has consequently been re-
moved to Bias Aram, refuge founded and
supported by Brahmo gentlemen in that
city.
Nor is this all. Bhagal Zemindar has
captured in the Jungle wild boy, whose
only approach to speech is the utterance
of chattering sounds like those of mon
key. Colonel Sloeman and the Rev. Mr..
Lewis, of the Secundra church mission.
have vouched for similar stories. Mr.
Mira is Of the opinion that when. as
sometimes happens, an infant is aban-
doned in the bush there is nothing alb
surd in the idea that it might be adopted
by female wild animal that had lost her
young.

before Mr.. Perkins arrived and negotia-

holy father were in constant demand as
interpreter and peacemaker. 1t was
finally settled that the house in town, the
white horse, the yellow wagon, and the
gasoline stove with full instructions how
to run it, should be given to Senior Or

daughter with the American; and, after
the wedding festivities, the young couple

The item of works of art mentioned In
this estimate is avery important one To
begin with, there are several expensive
monuments. Story's statue of Chief
Justice Marshall, an admirable work,
cost $4,000, Washington by Greenough,
opposite the east front, which has to be
covered in winter to delay its crumbling,
cost $4,000. The Peace monument cost
SAL 600. The group of figures over the
Senate portico, illustrating American
Civilization" in an allegorical manner,
cost $4,000 The two groups supposed to
typify respectively the Discovery of
America" and Civilization, +" on either
side of the main portico on the east front,
cost $4,000. Two statues of WAR" and
peace" at the same door, represented by
Mars and Ceres, cost 81, 900 each. An un-
detected vandal broke off one of Ceres
hands, but it has been stuck on again
Over the door is bust of Washington
price 81, 500.
The statues in statuary hall have cost
the government $500 Two statues
elsewhere of Franklin and Jefferson cost
$4,000 each. A statue Of John Hancock
cost s., 500. Busts and portraits of vari-
Gus justices in the rooms of the supreme
court have cost $4,000. There are two
very artistic bronze stair cases. repre-
senting entwined vines with various ami
bronze doors at the main and Senate por-
ticoes were very beautiful originally and
doubtless worth the SS7 000paid for them,
but 1t was pity that they were bought
because they have been badly defaced by
vandals.
The four scenes from the revolution ex-
hibited in the rotunda represent an ex-
penditure OF $4,000. They were painted
by Col. Trumbull, Washington's aid-de-
camp, TO whom the Father of his Country
gave a number of sittings in his full uni
form as commander-in-chief of the conti-
mental army. OF the other paintings in
the rotunda, the Discovery of the Missis-
sippi,o by DE Soto, cost $4,000; the
Landing of Columbus" $4,000; the
Baptism of Pocahontas," $4,000, and
the Standardization of the Pilgrims -
$4,000
There are a number of other huge paint
ings elsewhere in the capitol Two by
Thomas Moran, representing the Canon
of the Colorado" and the yellowstone
Gorge, " cost $4,000 each Two by Albert
Bierstadt, depicting the Settlement of
California" and the Discovery of the
Hudson River, were likewise purchased
for $4,000 each. The great picture enti-
tied Westward the Star Of Empire cost
SO, 600, and SIS, 900 was paid for "I.incoln
Signing the Proclamation of Emrnci-
patton. The Battle Between the Merri-
mae and Monitor and the Electoral
Commission by Mrs. Fassett, cost s.. 500
each. The ''Storming of Chapaultepec"
cost $4,000, and the Battle of Lake
Erie $4,000. The frescoing of the
ceiling in the Presidents room cost
$40, 900. In addition to all these it is
reckoned that there is 100000 worth of
smaller works of art in and about the

HOW GRAVITATION VARIES.
Probably Caused by subterranean Com
motions.

Probably Caused by Subterranean Com
motions.
That changes, involving the displace-
mept Of immense masses. are going on
within the earth is one of the sug-
gested explanations of some observa-
lions recently announced in France.
1t has been found at the Pare st. Maur
observatory that the force of gravita-
ton, or the weight of bodies, under
goes daily variations. These are rem
dered sensible by placing in the earth
q tube containing column Of mercury
balanced by the pressure of hydrogen
contained in closed vessel connected
with the tube, and registering by
means Of photography the alterations
in the level of the mercury.
After all corrections have been made
for the effect of changes of tempera-
ture, it appears that certain sudden
variations in the level of the mercury
are only to be explained on the theory
that they are due to changes in gravi
tation. These variations last from fif
teen minutes to an hour. They are. of
course, very small, amounting at
maximum TO only one-tWentleth OF a
millimeter. but they may imply very
great displacements of matter in the
interior of the globe.
It has been suggested that similar
experiments should be conducted in
the neighborhood of active volcanoes,
where liquefied rock is moving beneath
the surface, and other disturbances of
the strata of the earth are taking place.
Such facts as these present to the
imagination very formidable picture
of the gigantic connections that &C
company the slow cooling and contrac-
ton of the globe. on whose hardened
crust we rear our edifices, wondering,
when some of them are occasionally
