SEE KING
IN Madagascar 1t Ia n Task OF Great Dif
nculty.


ncnlty.
The pursuit OF orchids in Madagascar ap
pears from a letter of that interchangeable
collector, M. Hamelin, to be u task of nc
little danger and difficulty. 1t was only
after a year spent by the favor of Moyani-
bassa-a king of u powerful tribe flercely
hostile to foreign encroachments--in an
ploring a territory almost inaccessible to
Europeans, that he discovered the gcr-
eeo,>, orchid now known as Eulophiella
elisap, tha. 1t Is a parasite growing only
in a very limited region and on trees Of
slow growth. To secur the plants, which
flourish on the tops Of the tallest OF these
trees, he was obliged to have the trees cut
down and carefully gather all the plants
himself. Although this French botanist
had well armed men with him on whom he
could rely, he was compelled to constantly
guard against surprises by the warriors of
neighboring tribes.
Besides this the party were compelled to
keep "A watchful eye upon the wild animals
haunting these primeval forests. h most
terrible of all is the Madagascar 'proto-
crytofcrox," whose ~favorite haunts are
among the masses of foliage where the
eulophiella grows. This small but exceed
ingly dangerous animal is described as
crouching in the forks of trees, hidden
among the rich tropical foliage and climb
ing plants, and there watching for Its prey.
1t is exceedingly agile, and the moment its
victim approaches it slides silently down
and in one bound is on the top of it, a pic
ture of horrible ferocity.-London News.

An Explanation of an Authors Stories.

When Rhoda Broughton was a young

and altogether infamous. AT the begin
ming of her career (Which was then so small
a thing as to be barely p~erceptible to the
naked eye) she and q likewise young, like
wise impovcri he'd and likewise unknown
cavalry officer fell madly in love with each
other. Il think, my son, that it is time
you We're sent to India" sagely remarked
the father Of this youth on hearing the state
ri affairs. So the cavalry officer dutifully
sailed for India, where in time be became a
pcrtly, liver troubled person of Importance,

How Do You Make the Decimal Pofnte

In both France and Germany, one. fourth
60 reduced to a decimal is written as OPS;
in England it is written OPS always with
the period at the top of the line), and in the
United States in this way, 0.25. France
and Germany always use the comma ~,
England and the United States the period
&, the only difference being the manner in
which it is placed upon the line. Sir Isaac
Newton is given the credit of originating
the present English method of using the
decimal point, his reasons being that by
placing it at the top of the line it could be
distinguished at a glance from the ''full
stop punctuation mark. All English
mathematicians use the mark in the way
proposed by Newton, and the period as a
sign of multiplication.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.
