bred out and had nearly disappeared.
Their persistence through so many

lion is that they have arisen as
permanent marking after the dogs

lion, and have been preserved and de-
veloped through natural selection.
Possibly they are protective and
simulate eyes.

me. May it not be that the spots
thus serve protective purpose and

Treasury's Latest Bond Transaction Not
Executed Under the Resumption Act.
The bond transaction consummated yester-
day, strictly speaking, is not a sale of bonds
for gold, but purchase of gold to be paid
for in bonds. The issue was not made under
the authority granted by the resumption act
but under section 3700 OF the Revised Statutes.
which read as follows: THE Secretary of
the Treasury may purchase coin with any OF
the bonds or notes OF the United States, au-
thoriZed by law. at such rates and upon such
terms as he may deem most advantageous to
the public interest"
The contract was made with August Bel
mont Co.. OF New York, on behalf of
Messrs. n. NJ Rothschild Sons, of London,
and themselves. and J. p Morgan Co.. of
New YorR, on behalf of J. S. Morgan & Co.,
of London. and themselves.
A stipulation OF great importance is that
Messrs. Morgan and Belmont agree TO exert
all their financial strength aud influence and
that of their associates at home ard abroad
to protect the Treasury against Withdrawals
of gold pending complete performance OF the
contract.
Those who are in position to know the
Presidents views on the subject give il as his
opinion that this issue will so far restore pub
lie confidence at home and abroad that any
other issues will be unnecessary at least un-
til the meeting of the next Congress in De-
cember. II however. it should become nee
essary. the President Will act as promptly as
may be necessary 10 protect the public credit
1t is confidently expected by the President
that this issue Will render an extra session of
Congress wholly unnecessary.
