pied the attention of the body FOR TOUR

ruJted at 3 i. NJ. by motion TO take

At 100 +. NJ, while the Indian bill was
under consideration, a message was re-
! ceived from the President, and as the
| sheet of yellow tissue paper, on when
lists of nominations appear, was handed
round among senators nearest the princ-
pal entrance door. it was known that ii
contained the nomination of Senator Ran
som. of North Carolina, as United States
Minister to Mexico.
Senator Blackburn. as soon as he looked
at the list moved that the Senate pro
coed to executive business. and remarked
| that no senator would object if he knew
the purpose of the motion. There was
no objection, the galleries were cleared
| and the doors closed, and within hVe
minutes the public was again admitted
the nomination of Mr.. Ransom having
| been in the meantime instantly and unan-
| imously approved and affirmed
| An appropriation for committee OF
nine to take part i'm an international
conference on bimetalism, 10 which an
invitation might be extended by one or
more European Governments, was pre-
sented by MIR. Wolcott in the shape of

Animal Humbugs Are Numerous

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame, in order
to avoid going to a military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick; after his recovery he often
teigned coughing in order to procure
dainties. The cuckoo, as is well
known, lays its eggs in another birds
nest, and, to make the deception surer,
1t takes away one Of the other birds
eggs. Animals are conscious Of their
deceit, as shown by the fact that they
try to act secretly and noiselessly; they
show sense Of guilt II detected; they
take precautions In advance to avoid
discovery; IN some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after exploits, as If they feared punish
ment. A naturalist describes how his
monkey committed theft. While he
pretended 70 sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation and stopped every
time his master moved or seemed on

How q French Bank Is Guarded.

The treasures of the Bank of France
Are said to be better guarded than those
of any other bank in the world. At the
clcse Of business hours every day,
when the money is put into the vaults
IA the cellar, masons at once wall up
the doors with hydraulic mortar.
Water is then turned on and kept run
ming until the cellar is flooded. A
burglar would have to work In a div
ing suit, and break down a cement
wan before he could even start to loot
The vaults. When the officers arrive

vaults opened.
