And the strange and splendid scenes
frequently discovered in such places
as the Mammoth cave. the Lura,

As a matter of fact it is probable
that we + as yet acquainted with

caverns that exist at no great depth

added very largely to cur knowledge
of what has been called the 'subter-

For many years Johns Hopkins"

H was born nn Il farm i'll Anne
Arundel county. Nj. iii 119,, of
Quaker rarentage. When quite ii
young MAJ he came to Baltimore and
was soon established in business. He
was Il bold but %judicious operator.
In those days coffee and sugar were
usually sold at auction: they would
be put up in lots. and. if the buyer
saw fit, he would use the privilege of
taking the whole as his successful
bid. This Mr.. Hopkins often did,
thus monopolizing the market.
He encouraged young men starting
in business. and would indOlse their
paper for a commission, which they
cheerfully paid: and having. as he
had. remarkably keen judgment, he
seldom lost, or rather his gains far
exceeded his losses. He madea great
deal of money in Baltimore and Ohio
stock. in which he had great conf
dence. buying it at low prices and
holding it until his prophecies were
fulfilled.
When be was young he was in
love with a first cousin. but owing to
family opposition he never married
her. Johns Hopkins lived plainly
and simply. dressed in the Quaker
style. was rather blunt in manner,
but at the same time his Uprightness
and rare business talents wen the
respect Of the community. He died III
December. 1873. in his house III town.
Besides the millions that he left for
the hospital and university, mis-
several nieces and nepllcws received
legacies. and he provided literally
for his sister. who survived him.

Animals Are Much Like Children,

Naturalists have frequently com.

displayed by children and young
quadrupeds. Love, hate, fear and

and dumb animals, and those who
have made n study of animal life de,
clare that a certain amount of play
or recreation. is as much a necessity
to certain young animals as to chill.
