| There are a good many queer things
! to be told a bout horns Take the horn
| of the rhinoceros, for example. 1t is
nothing more than protu berance com

| in two, and examining its structure
under. the microscope, you find it is
made ND entirely of little tubes resem-
bling hair tubes. OF course. these them
| selves are not hairs, but the structure
| is the same. The horns of the African
| rhinoceros sometimes grow to the
| length of four feet. From them the
Dutch Beers make ramrods and other
articles. In olden times rhinoceros
horns were employed for drinking cups
by royal personages, the notion being
| that poison put into them would show
itself by bubbling. There may have
been some truth in the idea, lnasmuch
as many of the ancient poisons were
acids, and they would decompose the
horny material very quickly.
Some species of rhinoceros. now ex-
tinct, 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 n 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 pair OF
horns on the nose, side by side Many
of the giant reptiles of long ago had
enormous horns. However, the material
of which horn is composed of 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 ac-
tually outgrowths of bone on their
heads. The boxfsh, which inhabits
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 ducll)
has single horn attached to its skull,
springing from cartilaginous base and
curving upward It's 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 triceatops.
Horned toads have a sort of crest of
four horns on the back of their heads.
There is small African snake which
has two horns. No horned tortoise
now exists. but fossil specimen was
found short time ago on Lord How's
Island, in the Southern Pacific, which
had four horns on its crest, and re-
sem bled cross between a horned toad
and swapping turtle, oubtless you
have often heard of human beings
with horns. Such appendages in their
case are a bnormal development OF bone

Cats in Russia.

1t may be source of consolation to
the British Tom cat to know that, what
ev his ultimate destiny may be, it
cannot possibly take worse form than
that which follows in the wake of his
Russian brother. All along the banks
Of the Volga are colonies of hard
hearted men who make business OF
breeding Toms and Tables to sell to
peddlers at three-pence or four pence
each. And not only is pussy SUI bjected
to this indignity but also to the further
and greater one of being flayed alive,
and then killed But, to Give him his
due, the peddler does not torture his vic
tim in this manner wantonly. 1t is
the outcome of necessity, and fashion
demands the preparation of these
heinous cruelties. The skin is rendered
more pliable and soft when taken from
the body of the living animal, and con-
seque ntly fetches higher price in the
fur centres of Russia

A Lover of Animals.

Among professed lovers OF animals,
most individuals single out some one
particular species on which to bestow
their affections but Frank auckland
was quite impartial He cultivated in
innate friendships with reptiles and
fishes, as we'll as every kind of beast and
bird AS school boy at Winchester, he
never studied SO well as when a pet
snake was wriggling about between his
shirt and his skin. When an under
graduate at Oxford, his pets ranged
from an eagle and bear down to
vipers and glow-worms A friend who
met him in the street one day at this
period, asked what he was carrying in
the pockets of his trousers, which were
extended to a most extraordinary size.
"Glow-worms packed in wet moss, )"
was the answer, and auckland pro-
ceeded to explain that there was moth
ing these creatures enjoyed so much as
a com bination of heat and moisture; he
gratified their tastes by carrying them
about in this fashion The eagle created
no small sensation by following his
master to morning chapel, and walking
up the aisle in the middle of service
Awful were the frOwns of the college
dons, and, it is almost needless to add,
that the king of birds was quickly rus
ticated
But perhaps the most ludicrous scrape
his love of animals led him in to occurred
when travelling by coach in Germany.
He had bottle of red slugs in his
pocket. Presently all the inside pas
sengers fell asleep including auckland
himself. When he woke, what was his
horror at beholding two red slugs
crawling over the bald pate of an old
gentleman who was seated beside him
The cork had come out of the bottle
and all the slugs had escaped By re-
moving the slugs, he would certainly
awaken his tAld-headed neighbor
when an explosion of righteous indi G.
nation would as certainly ensue; on the
other hand, matters would not be
much improved if he left him to awake
of his own accord. The coach stopped
to change horses. Fortunate opportu-
nitv. Like Lewis CAROLS immortal
hero Frank auckland silently vanished
away. and never was met with again
by any of his fellow passengers il that
particular coach

Herrick's Train Robbery Story.

ToPEKA, Kan, July The of.

been investigating the recent attempt.
ed robbery Of one of its trains in the
Indian Territory, and have secured a
statement from the sixteen-year-old
boy bandit, who was captured by the
Conductor Glazier, and who is believ-
ed to be the principal offender. The
hoy states that his name is Manuel
Herrick that he lives near the town
of Norman, Okla. that he belonged
to a gang of five and that he was un-

tod it to mind you. They told me
what to do. and | did it."
Herrick said that man represent
ing himself as Bill Dalton told him be
must hold the train up, and offered to
pay him for it. He says he tried once
or twice to find out sill he could about
the gang and inform on them, but
they had him arrested for insanity
and convicted. Then they let him
out for a few days and he "slid
away" His story is full of wild west
expressions.

Henrik stated that he formally lived
in Greenwood county, and used to

The Greek and Roman Church.

TACOMA, Wash, July 3.-Mgr.
Satolli states, through DIR. OGorman,
his interpreter, that there are pending
diplomatic negotiations to bring the
Greek church of all Russia, now
under the personal control of the Gar,
into the keeping Of the Vatican.
Father OGorman was asked to re.
duce his statement to writing and
have Mgr. Satolli sign it, in order
that there might be no question as to
its authenticity. He said:
''This is unnecessary. l speak for
Mgr. Satolli. / have talked the whole
matter over with him, and you can
say that he says it through me, his
interpreter"
Father O'Gorman is professor of
ecclesiastical history in the Catholic
University at Washington, and here
and elsewhere during the tour of Mgr.
SatOlli and party has been the spokes-
man of the Pope's ablegate. Church
men take it for granted that if the
Car is to place his State Church
under the control of Rome, it is in the
interest Of Leo's hope to effect the dis
armament of the great nations of the
world, and securing ultimate universal
peace and arbitration of international
quarrels.

Al Aeronaut Loses His Life.

OMAHA, Neb., July Several
thousand persons witnessed a balloon
ascension at CORTLAND Beach, local
pleasure resort, last evening. which
resulted in the death Of the aeronaut,
Roy Elser. Elser was in the habit of
jumping from his airship at the ap.
proXimate height of mile and reach
ing the ground by t e aid of a para
chute. Last evening he was observed
to be trying to detatch his parachute
from The ropes OF the balloon 1t
appeared to be entangled in the
balloon, which was rapidly drifting
oyer the Missouri River. about two
miles from the place where the ascen-
on was made. The areonaut was
suddenly observed try ing to cut the
ropes that fastened his parachute to the
balloon. The next moment the balloon
began to descend rapidly. 1t was then
directly over the middle of the Mis-
souri,. The river at this point is nearly
a mile wide and very swift. As the
balloon approached the water, El>er
swung clear of the ropes on his trapeze
bar and prepared to avoid the balloon
Us it settled in the river. When it
touched the river he released his hold
AMI disappeared in he torrent. Con-
trary to expectation, the balloon did
not rise when released from the mans
weight, but settled down directly over
the spot where Elser was last seen.
If he ever came to the surface it was
beneath the folds of the big balloon.
and he was thus imprisoned. The bal
loon floated down the river and lodged
against the false work of the new
bridge where i; now lies.
