Americans are the most wastefil
people in the world" says man who
has been living in China and Japan for
some years. "What the American fam
lily throws away would keep Euro
pean family from starving and would
feed Chinese or Japanese family. 1t
is not merely food that we waste; 1t is
fuel. Look ut this" and he produced a
cylinder Of bronze as large as "plug''
hat. "Here is Chinese stove, or oven.
With four or Eve pieces of charcoal q
Mongolian will make tea and cook rice
and eggs over that, while an American
domestic would use up at least a hod Of
coal in the same operation. Lucky we

Genealogical Wonders OF the Coast OF
Ireland.

Genealogical Wonders or the Coast OF
Ireland.
There is sandbank at Connenara,
on the west coast of ireland, that is the
Mecca Of every curiosity-seeker who is
fortunate enough to know of its exis-
tencc. AS general thing sandbanks
are not great attraction, but in this
particular case the attractive power is
not in the sand itself, but in the mil
lions of extinct miniature shells which
are almost as numerous rs the grains of
sand with which they arc intermingled.
The largest Of these little wonders are
smaller than the smallest pin head, and
some of them are so minute that they
can easily be put through the eye of a
common sewing needle; yet each is as
perfect as the pearly nautilus, the
spider shell, the sea urchin or any
other marine oddity. They are of all
shapes and forms imaginable. One
will have the perfect outlines of min
iature basket, another will look like a
fairy's tobacco box, while a third needs
no effort of the imagination to give it
the form of bottle. The flash shells
of CeyloD and Australia are the only
living representatives of these concho-
logical wonders. Naturalists who have
) examined the Ceylonese flash shells say
that each is filed with tiny bit of
jelly-like substance, which, of course, is
the animal itself, but which is 80 in
fnitesimsl that no distinction can be
observed between head and heart,
mouth and stomach. $1is.1:&.,

STRANGE SOUNDS.
The Largest Animals Do Not Always
Have tho Loudest Voices.


tits matter OF common observation
that the loudest sounds are not always
made by the largest animals. The
roar of the lion exceeds in sonorousness
the cry of the elephant. Anyone who
had only heard, without seeing, a bull
frog might well suppose that its fearful
voice, breaking the silence of the night,
must certainly come from the throat of
an animal of formidable dimensions.
But perhaps the most remarkable
case of vocal power in an animal is that
related by a recent traveller in the high
lands of Borneo. He was informed by
natives that they had heard a tiger
roaring in the neighborhood. Such
news is always startling to a stranger
in the jungles of the east, and hardly
less so to the natives.
An investigation was accordingly set
on foot, which resulted in the discovery
that the alarming roars had been
emitted by toad! This toad of Borneo,
however, was by no means an ordinary
mem Der of the family. It measured no
less than fourteen and one-hslf inches
round the body.
That the natives should not have
ASSOS hIHCo vIlS LTuS SOurce Oh Cn0 SOunQ
shows that the existence of such toads
was either unknown to them, or that, at
any rate, they had never discovered the
remarkable vocal capabilities of the an
= imals.
This recalls story in Mr.. Bates ac-
count of his travels along the Amazon.
Among the many sounds heard in the
dense Brazilian forests was kind of
loud metallic clanking, that sometimes
rang through the trees, and the origin
of which Mr.. Bates was unable to dis
cover. Whenever it was heard the ma
tiVes covered with fear, ascribing it to
a supernatural origin.
Possibly the noise was 30 loud that
they missed the discovery of its source
by searching only for something of cor
responding physical dimensions.

The Original Jim Crow

Talking of Jim Crow, "how many
people in Louisville know that the
original was a Louisville darkyl 1t
was some time before the war when
a famous song an. dance comedian,
playing an engagement at Louisville,
saw from the wiz low of bis room a
certain darby who was a character
of his day, cutting up the most ex-
traordinary capers to the tune of
Turn About and Wheel About and
Jump, Jim Crow"
The comedian, struck by the pos
sibilities of a performance founded
upon this original, made OF caused
to be made a number of verses to fit
this refrain, and thereafter repro
duced upon the stage the untutored
performance of the original James,
to the delight and admiration of
thousands. Who the actor was 1 have
forgotten. The darky's name really
was James Crow, and he belonged to
alivery stable keeper, in whose yard,
near the hotel where the comedian
was staying, the original Jim Crow
dance was performed for the amuse-
ment of such as loafed there. l think
the hotel was the old Gait House

roueu fragments IN srraJa known 10
biologists as oligocene. These are
tertiary rocks of a date a little more
recent than those of the London
basin and equivalent to the younger
tertiary series of the isle of Wight.
The fragments of fossil resin were
washed down by the rivers from the
pine forests of the district along with
sediments and vegetable debris. In
them are found most perfectly pre-
served remains of the most delicate
tissues of the vegetation of the perl
cd, as well as of insect life. Frag-
ments of twigs, leaves, buds and
flowers with sepals, petals, stamens
and pistil still in place occur. Pollen
grains have likewise been found. A
recent genus, deutZia, has been re-
cognized by its characteristic sta
mems. The valves of the anthers OF
cinnamomum are seen in others.
In one specimen the pendant catkin
of a species of oak is seen as distinct
ly through the clear amber as if it
were a fresh flower.
And besides the insect and plant
remains thus sealed up in amber,
stray relics of the higher fauna of
the forest have also been met with.
Fragments of hair and feathers have
been caught in the sticky resin and
preserved. Among others a wood
pecker and squirrel have been recog-
nized in the Baltic amber. Gentle

She swallowed am Umbrella.

A New Castle correspondent to the
Pittsburg Times is responsible for
this story: Several days ago a COW
belonging to Thomas Jennings Of
West New Castle became very i'll.
She refused to eat and seemed to suf-
fer extreme pain. DR.. w. Coleman,
a veterinary surgeon, concluded the
COW was suffering from the effects
of some foreign substance in her
stomach. He made a large incision
in the cows side, and in doin ; so his
knife scraped an iron substance.
After some little work he succeeded
in removing an entire umbrella.
The ribs had become loos from the
handle and worked their way
through the lining of the stomach.
They yer easily pulled out. The
handle was next recovered, and to it
was clinging the cover of a "a inch
umbrella. How the cow managed to
swallow it is a mystery. The cow
will recover.

Park Squirrels as Pets.

An interesting scene is witnessed
at the Central park zoe at z o'clock
every morning. Punctually at that
hour, rain OF shine, a tall, gray
haired man of military bearing APP
proaches the wooded lawn just north
of the Dannemouth arch and raps
loudly with his cane on the wire rail-
ing that borders the path. In an in
slant a dozen or more nimble gray
squirrels spryly climbdown the neigh
boring trees and skip across the grass
TO the feet of the nan who seems to
thus exercise a peculiar power W
them. The secret of his charm is
O divulged, for he pulls out a
handful of peanuts from a capacious
pocket and scatters them among his
visitors.-New York Letter.

ITS Original Formation, Process of Evolu-
ton and Preventative Qualities.
In many museums may be seen in
the most perfect state of preserva-
ton in amber fossilized remains of
plants and animals. The science of
Egypt in its highest development did
not succeed in discovering a method
of embalming so perfect as the sim
pie process taking place in nature. A
tree exudes a gummy, resinOus matter
in a liquid state. An insect accident
ly alights in it and is caught. The
emulation continues and envelopes it
completely, preserving the most min
ute details of its structure. In the
course of time the resin becomes a
fossil and is known as amber. The
history Of fossil insects is largely in
debted to the fly in amber, and to
the preserving properties of amber
we owe likewise our knowledge of
some of the more minute details of
ancient plant structure.
The coats of the Baltic are and
have been from the days of PhGni-
clan traders the great source of the
amber of commerce. 1t occalrs in

Have you ever heard the wind go "Iooooof"
'Tis a pitiful sound TO hearl
II seems to chill you through and through
With a strange and speeches Tear.
It's the voice of the night that broods outside
When folks should be asleep.
And many and many's the time I've cried
To the darkness that brooded far and wide
Over the land and deep.
"Whom do you want, U lonely night.
That you wall the long hours through"
And the night would say in its ghostly way.
"Yooooooooi
Yoooooooo!
Yoooooooo."
Ny mother told me long ago.
When ] was a little lad,
That when the night went wailing SO,
Somebody ha been bad,
And then when | was snug in bed.

With the blankets drawn up round my head.
I'd think of what my mptherid said
And wonder what boy she meant!
And who's been bad today" I'D ask
OF the wiad that loarSely blew.
And that voice would say in its awful way.
"Noooopoool
lOOOOOOOO!
Yooaooooo!"
That this was true I must allow
You'll not believe il, thought
Yes, though I'm quite n model now,
was not always so.
And IL you doubt what things | say,
Suppose you make the test.
Suppose. when you've been bad some day
And up TO bed are sent away
From mother and the rest
Suppose YOU ask "VVho has been bad?"
And then you'll hear what's true,
For the wine will moan in its ruefulest tone,
