THE CRANC IN HIS NATIVE
HOME.
Scenes Witnessed I'm Borneo, where
These Animals Are Most Plentiful.

scenes Witnessed In Borneo, where
These Animals Are Most Plentiful.
The great island of Borneo is the
home of the orang. and one Of the
nost noticeable features of the land
'cape is the nests of the orlng, which
ire scattered about thickly among the
| AL trees. From their number one
might get a greatly exaggerated i'm
| preston Of the plentifulness of the spe-
eies, unless it were understood how
and for what purpose these rooSting
places We're constructed. The apes are
greatly annoyed by flies, from which
they are able TO protect the front part
Of their bodies with their hands, but
they cannot keep he vicious insects
from biting them in the rear, and so
they gather a quantity of leaves and
branches and make them into couches
to repoSe against among the boughs.
A protection of this sort serves very
well for awhile, out presently its ma
terial begins to deconpoSe, and the de-
caying leaves attract the flies which the
orang is so anxious TO get rid of. Then
he is obliged to make another rest of
fresh stuff, and so he may require n
dozen of them in the course of the
year. Inasmuch rs he does not take
the trouble to remove the old ones
they remain to adorn the tree top in
which he swings about. Orangs have a
very curious method of fighting. In
their conflicts among themselves Which
are frequent, their effort is always TO
seize the fingers Of their adversaries
II bite them.
1t is owing to this method Of battle
that ii is almost impossible to procure
n skin which does not lack some of the
fingers. If defending itself against a
man, the orang will always attempt to
grasp the arms of his human opponent,
so as to chew off his fingers, For this
| purpose it's jaws are excellently adapt
ed, being enormously powerful and
equipped with huge incisors.
To protect itself from the rain, the
Orang crooks its arm over It's head.
The hair on the orang's upper arm
points downward, while on the upper
arm it points upward, the apparent
purpose being TO shed the rain like n
thatch when the attitude thus described
is assumed.

Seventeen Pounds of Nightmare,

Although very little regard is paid
in Newport to what are called in Mas
sachusetts understood Holsters, for the
sale of which there is a heavy penalty,
Wednesday a lobster was captured by
a fisherman named George Sirius which
completely eclipses anything before
found there. The lobster was upward
of twenty inches long and weighed
some seventeen pounds. An old salt
who was near by when the question of
age was brought up pronounced him
TO be at least four score. The lobster
was caught i'm an ordinary trap, except
that he was not caught in the usual
way. He was so large that he could
not enter as Holsters do, but While
around the entrance. he in some way
became entangled In the woodwork
forming the lobster pot and was borne
to the surface ana e~xtricated. One
OF the large claws had become almost
devoid of life, while the other, though
not at ali frisl<y, was capable of Civ
ing a hard bite.--Fall River Herald.

THE CHIEF EVIL.


Who lets mad passion
His acts control;
Doth thereby fashion
A ruined soul.
For every mortal
Himself, alas!
Set wide the Portals
Where he will pass.
AS sight and blindness
Are far apart,
SO wrath and kindness
Affect the heart.
One leads to sadness
And loss and pain,
And one to gladness
And good and gain.
Surely, the devil
Appraiseth STILL,
AS his chief evil.
Mans own self-wilI.

Boring 5000 Feet Through Rock.

The deepest borehole of the earth Is
the one at PoroschowitZ, in the Rybnik
district, upper Silisia. 1t has been
carried to a depth of something beyond
1000 metres about 600 feet, and the
diameter OF the tube at the bottom is
seven centimeters. Boring to such n
depth, and, moreover, through solid
rock, was almost impossible prior to
the invention of the Mannesmann tube;
the greater strength of this tube, as
compared with others, makes 1t pos
sible to use tubes of thinner gauge. Tt
is expected that a final depth of yet an
other 800 metres (some 1910 feat) can
be reached, and n number of interest
ing observations on temperature, ETC..
will be Notwithstanding.
