A BIG CHRISTOPHER.
The Amusing Mistake Of a Naturalist in
Australia.

Australia.
A distinguished naturalist of the
California Academy of Sciences was
travelling in Australia, when he saw
q kangaroo in session and flung a
stone at it.
The kangaroo Immediately ad.
journod, tracing against the sunset
sky q parabolic curve spanning seven
provinces and vanished below the
horizon. The distinguished natural,
ist looked interested, but said moth
ing for nearly an hour, according to
the San Francisco Examiner. Then
he said to his native guide:
"You have pretty wide meadows
here, | suppose:''
"No, not very wide" the guide
answered.; "about the same as i'll
England and America" "
After another long silence the dis,
tinguished naturalist said:
The hay which we shall purchase
for our horses this evening" shall
expect to find the stalks about fifty
feet long. Am right:?'
why, no. said the guide; "a foot
or two is about the usual length OF
our hay. What can you be thinking
of"
The distinguished naturalist Col
the California Academy of Sciences
made no immediate reply, but later
as in the shades of night they
iou'neyed through the desolate vast
ness Of the great, lone land, he broke
the silence:

uncommon magnitude Of that blanked

the region fifty miles in either direc-

Scendants of Germans who came to
this country years ago. The language
is spoken as generally and correctly
among them, however, as if they had
just landed in America from the father
land. These thrifty people went to
that part of the country when the
steamboat was the orly method Of
travel in the West and it was year,
before they could get in the way Of
using the railroad. Indeed, many of

A Fortune Scraped Off a Roof.

years ago the paint was scraped off
the old roof and yielded $4,000 in fine
gold. 1t is almost as certain to yield
as much this time. The gold comes
from the U. s. Mint chimney, which
is near by.
When gold is being coined a con-

falls. Much Of it strikes the roof of
