A QUEER ANIMAL,
The Australian DuclsbiTl Carries n Sting
In One Leg.

The Australian Duckbill Carries n Sting
In One Leg.
Australia certainly holds the palm
for queer and uncouth animals. Chief
among these is the duckbill, or ornitLo-
rhynchus, which Sidney Smith described
as "a kind of molo with webbcd feet
and the bill of IL duck, which agitated
Sir Joseph Banks and rendered him
miserable from his utter inability to
decide whether it was Il bird or beast I"
1t was only recently that it was proved
beyond doubt that this curious animal
lays eggs like a bird, though this had
long been reported by travellers Now
comes tho news that it has sting on
its hind leg capable of killing by its
poisonous effects. We quote from The
Lancet:
For long time it was considered to
be quito harmless and destitute of any
weapon of offense, although the hind
legs Of tho males were armed with a
powerful. spur, apparently connected
with gland. Then the opinion was adj
vanced that this mig be a weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all Of which possess
a sort of hypodermic poison syringe.
Though ono set of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set denied
1t, and so DR.. Stuart determined, if pos
siblc, to solve this question. He received
two Independent accounts, which coin
cided perfectly, and from them he con-
cludeS that at certain seasons, at all
events, the secretion is virulently poi
sonous The mode of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments of the hind legs Two cases are
reported i'll dogs. Ono dog was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much resem-
bling those from bee or hornet poison.
Tho dog was evidently in great pain and
very drowsy, but there were no tremors,
commissions or staggering. 1t is worthy
of note that n certain immunity seems
obtainable, for the dog suffered less on
the second occasion and still les on the
third. Two cases Of men being wounded
are reported, in both of which tho ami
mails were irritated, one by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only; the symptoms were tho same rs
i'll tho dog. No deaths are reported in
human beings, but four in dogs. Lit

The burdens of life are not equally
borne by men and women.
Women too often suffer from some
weakness that was never intended for

denied, the over-tired brain must be
