The Curious Kangaroo.

AS 10 its faunl the island continent
is region Of forms that are most
weird and strange, nearly all of its
beasts being survivals Of types which
passed off the rest of the earth millions
of years ago. Not least astonishing
are the numerous species of pouchcd
animals, such as the kangaroo, The
largest specimens Of which arc as big
as a stag. This hugh creature brings
forth an offspring no larger than the
little finger of human baby and not
unlike 1t in form.
This helpless, naked, blind and deaf
being the mother puts into the pouch
OH her belly, placing it on one Of the
long, slender, milk-giving strings
found in the pouch. Here the young
one remains hanging for weeks and
grows very rapidly. The mother
possesses q peculiar muscle with which
she is able 10 press milk into the mouth
of the little kangaroo, and the larynx
of tho latter has such q structure that
1t can breathe while it sucks. All of
the marsupials, like the opossum, are
propagated in this manner. Some of
these marsupials are beasts Of prey
and very ferocious.
The marsupial wolf and the marsu-
pial 'devil" are feroclous and power
full, doing great damage among sheep.
Australia has the only birds in the
world which do not hatch their eggs
themselves, but, like reptiles, bury
them in earth mounds, where they are
Matched by fermentation. The vege-
tation of the country is almost equally
extraordinary, with some trees that
are leafless and others which bear
leaves extended in n vertical plane in-
stead Of horizontally; reminding the
scientific observer of tho vanished
fora of the tertiary period. .-[Wash.

Boys Are q Mystery.

George G. Vest were sitting in front
of the Midland Hotel, talking over
the old days of Center College, Dam

of the many young men who had
gone forth from the university and
had grown famous, the most of them
in politics.

The muscles of the strong arms now
relax upon the lance, the boat is laid

it is usually the fact, that the whale,

maelstrom of bloody water, and the
ponderous whale rolls heavily OH it's

fin projecting above the water.
This is Ginning ou." A one.sided
jury would say that the whale died of
hemmorhage of the lungs. TO use a
paradoxical expression, some dead
whales are not always dead. 1t may
be in comatose state, but averse to
viviscction; and when the men again
approach it, and cut holes through the
lips to make the line fast, to tow it to
the vessel, demolished boat or loss

The .Sed-GultS MESSAGE.

"The news of a famous disaster on
the India Ocean was brought to the
living by scagull," said Zebulon
Cartwright. "Some years ago the
ocean liner Atlantis, plying between
Liverpool and Calcutta, was lost in the
Indian Sea, and all on board perished.
At that time | was sailing from Lon.
don TO New South Wales, via the Red
and the Indian Seas. Onr ship was
the Tritonia, good sound vessel.
While sailing in the Indian Sea a sea.
gull was one day captured, and about
its neck was tied small note, which
read: "Atlanlis struck on the Harad
rock. We are all lost. Father Coathe.
This remarkable message was all that
was ever found. The boat had sailed
some five mouths previous, we'll stock.
with merchandise and passenge and
had been duly inspected and pro.
nouncod seaworlhy. 1t must have
been q terrible shock that caused her
to sink. But the message was strange.
Who Father Cuathc was and how he
happened to have a sea-gull at hand
will always remain a mystery. We
continued our journey TO Sydney,
where the note and the sea-gull were
both delivered to the lIarbormaster,
together with the evidence of the
crew. This was afterwards sent to
England, where the knowledge was
distributed. - s.. Louis Globe

In pigeon English chop-chop means

Pigeon English is strange mixture
