The Origin OF the Far.

When the fish came ashore, its
water breathing apparatus was no
longer of any'uSc to it. At first it
had to keep it on, for it took long
time to perfect the air breathing APP
paratuS which was to replace it, But
when this was ready the problem wa,
what to do with the earlier organ?
Nature is exceedingly economical,
and could not throw all this mech
dniSm away. In fact Nature al
most never parts with any structure
she has once made. What she does
is to change it into something else.
Conversely, nature seldom makes any
thing new; her method Of creation is
to adapt something old. Now when
nature started out to manufacture
ears she made them out of the old
breathing apparatus. She saw that
if water could pass through hole in
the neck, sound could pass likewise,
and she set to work upon the highest
up of the five gill-slitS and slowly
elaborated it into a hearing organ.
There never had been an external
ear in the world till this was done,
or any good ear at all Creatures
which live in water do not seem to
use hearing much, and the sound
waves in fishes are simply conveyed
through the walls Of the head to the
internal ear without any definite me-
ChaniSm But as soon as land-lifC
began, owing to the changed medium
through which sound waves must now
he prOpagatcd, moro delicate in
strumeut was required. And hence
one Of the first things attended to
was the construction and improve
ment of the ear. -McCIurC's Maya

Train Robbers and WrcckcrS.

The Railroad Gazette has collected
statistics Of train wrecking and train
rObbing for the first six months Of
1893, which yield some surprising re-
suits. one is accustomed to think of
train wrcCkers and train robbers as
nye.ting Sparsely settled Western
States. but the statistics show on the
contrary that such crimes are most
prevalent in weil-settled States. The
Gazettc'S figures show siXty-One at
tcmptS to wreck trains and twenty
one attempts to rob them. Massa-
chuScttS and Illinois head the list in
the number Of attempts to wreck
trains, and Ohio follows. In these
three advanced States were made
more than One-half Of all the at
tcmpts to wreck trains, and the
State of New York follows. The only
explanation offered for this prepOn-
dcranCc OF tram wrecking in we'll
settled and, generally speaking, we'll
governed States is that the mileage
OF railroads is greater in those States
than in others, and that tramps, who
arc responsible for most attempts to
wreck trains, flourish in thickly set
tied regions
The geographical distribution OF
attempts at train robbing are still
more curious. Iowa heads the list:
Indian Territory and Oklahoma taken
together have the same number;
Texas follows, and then comes Kansas
and Ncbraska. NiXty-seHCn per cent.
Of all the train rObberics or attempted
trian robbcrics occurred IN these -four
States and two Territories.

little children may ne turned to excel
lent purposes.
At this school Louis Patterson and
Mary Nordrum received their early
book education. There was nothing
peculiar about these children. Their
Youthful lives were the lives of a vast
concourse of children who preceded
them i'm the schoOl-room 1t happened
IN their early youth that they became
fond of each other. Together they
walked, hand in hand. to and from their
studies. They had their little qUarrels
but they were brief ones. They had
their days and weeks Of separation, and
they we're sad ones. And even in early
childhood when chasing butterflies and
gathering wild flowers, and long before
either knew the meaning of love, they
were lovers devoted, constant. and
true. The love of little children.
When in all the long lifeis love purer,
nObler. or dearer!
vi the age of II. Mary Nordrum was
sent to young ladies seminary in an
Eastern town. She had been diligent
student in the country school, and
found 1t an easy task TO keep pace with
her class in the seminary. From the
grand old school of nature she had
graduated with high hOnOrs. and the
lessons learned in the groves and fields
served her well with her new-found
companions. She quickly became a IA
vOrite with all An interesting and
fascinating cOnvcr9atiOnaliSt always
having at her hand fund of practical
information. which she knew how 10
Use to the best advantage. she drew
around her a circle of admiring friends.
Mary NOrdrum was now what the
world would term a beautiful woman.
Her manners were pleasant, and. in
fact. charming. She dressed with be-
coming taste, and though the only
child of wealthy father, she made no
display Of riches. but prided herself on
being farmers daughter. fond of the
farmers life.
Louis Patterson. having finished the
branches usually taught in a public
school. and having spent one year at
tending the high school at the county
seat. entered the State Agricultural
College for three years course. His
experience was not different from most
students in his class. He was bright
and quick 10 learn: was devoted to poll
tics. and took great interest in works
and studies in political economy.

LIVELY AUSTRALIAN SNAKES.
They Are as Agile and Deceptive as An
Produced by Whisky.


Australian snakes are very quick in
their movements and have a power of
tlarting to a considerable distance,
which makes well-informed persons
particularly alert when traycrsing re
giOns that are known to be infested with
them. | have known person to be
struck in the face by a snake upon
whose tail he had trodden while the
reptile was moving away from him, and
which sprang backward upon him like
flash of lightning, says writer in the
New York Times.
They feed upon small quadrupeds,
birds eggs, and young birds, and are
occasionally capable OF swallowing an
animal of considerable size. remem-
Der an instance, indeed, where one at
tempted to make a meal of man-my-
seIf-although the effort was due To a
Misrepresentation on the part of the rep
tile.
l was shooting at GippsIand at the
time, and one afternoon went to a Sc
Guided place in a ncighboring creek
where the ''wOnga' pigeons were ac-
CustOmed to come to drink. The
"wOnga' is IA beautiful bird, consider
ably larger than the American quail,
and exquisitcly plumaged in black,
white, brown and gray lis flesh II a.

cate and agreeable. The ''wonga' is a
shy bird, but is easily brought To the
hunter if only he will remain perfectly
still In some haunt which these pigeons
frequent and initiate their note, which
is easy to counterfeit.
SO ! selected for NV post OF Onserva-
ton the trunk of fallen eucalyptus

and which was, moreover, concealed by
screen of low shrubbcrY. Here ! sat
myself down and began To call the

upon him from the overhangIng foliage.
This action of stealing upon a man
was so unusual that. for a moment, |
could not understand it. 1t then oc-

had been attracted by my imitation OF
the notes of the "Wonga.' and mad
