CREATURES WITH HORNS.
They are Found Among Animals, Reptiles,
Birds and Fishes.

Birds and Fishes.
There are good many queer things
to be told about horns,' said Osteologist
Lucas to a Star writer ''Take the
horn of the rhinoceros, for example. 1t
is nothing more than protuberance
composed of agglutinated hair You
cut 1T in two and, examining it's struct-
ure under the microscope, you find that
1t is made up entirely Of little tubes re-
sembling hair tubes. Of course these
are not themselves hairs, but the struct-
ure is the same. The horns of African
rhinoceros sometimes grow to the length
OF four feet. From them the Dutch
Beers make ramrods and other articles.
You may remember that the handle of
the ak used by Umslopogaas in ALLAN
Quartermain' was a rhinoceros horn. Ia
old times rhinoceros horns were en-
ployed for drinking cups by royal per-
sOnages, the notion being that poison
put into them would show itself by bub-
bling. There may have been some truth
in the idea, inasmuch as many of the
ancient poisons were acids and they
would decompose the horny material
very quickly.
Several species of rhinoceroses, now
extinct and only found in fossil state,
used to exist which had no horns at all.
The name, meaning as it does horned
nose is rather a misnomer in their
case. Several kinds of rhinoceros in
Africa have two horns, one behind the
other, but the extinct rhinoceros, known
as the dyceratherium, had a pair of
horns on its nose side by side. Many of
the giant reptiles of long ago had enor-
nous horns The great lizard known
as the triceratops had a big horn over
each eye and little one on its nose.
The dynoceras and the tinoceras, gil
gantic mammals of the tertiary epoch,
had three pairs of prominences on their
heads which are believed to have sup
ported horns. However, the material
of which horn is composed quickly
decays, being largely composed of gel
atine and other animal matter, SO that
these appendages are apt to be found
absent when the fossil bones of beasts
which had them are found
''Some fishes have horns which are
act' ally outgrowths of bone on their

the warm waters of the globe-a little
fellow six or eight inches long = has
horns an inch in length. Birds have
horns also sometimes. The horned
screamer (Which is related to the duck)
has single horn attached to its skull,
springing from cartilaginous base and
curving upward. 1t is really modified
feather, though true horn.
Plenty of reptiles have horns. Liz
ards are very commonly provided with
them. There are chameleons with
three horns like the ancient triceratons.
Horned toads have sort of crest of
four horns on the back of their heads
There is a small African snake which
has two horns. No horned tortoise now
exists, but fossil specimen was found
while ago on Lord Howes island, in
the Southern Pacific, which had four
horns on its crest, and resembles cross
between a horned toad and swapping
turtle. Doubtless you have often heard
of human beings with horns. Such ap-
pendages in their case are abnormal de-
velopments of bone" - Washington

not yet be definitely announced.
The matter is in charge of Prof. A.
w. Williamson. He is in Chicago on
the matter. Should the threatened
railway war break out, the rates Will
of course be much lower. In that
case we may look for such crowd
of people as never before visited this

arranging for the festivities, and Fri

though of course much of interest
will occur both before and after that.
The reputation of the twin cities as

preparations mentioned above, that
the various committees are taking
no chances on failure.
