are bitterly disappointed. For 10, these
many years, the sea serpent has pa
trolled the Atlantic and the Pacific al

he never has failed to be fully 500
feet long, and "as large as barrel

the monster is only eight feet long!

A Strange Rabbit Freak.

Miss Bertrand, a young lady living in
Tocaloma, Cal, is the owner of rabbit
that differs from any other rabbit men,
toned in zoology. This particular bon
ME has but one ear, and that one is 10
Gated directly on top of it's head and is
about twice as large as it ought to be.
Miss Bertrand's father is hotel pro-
prietor, and the odd-looking rabbit is a
great pet around the hosiery. Accord
ing to the San Francisco Call, the rabbit
must have known that he was different
from other rabbits and therefore enti-
tied to some consideration, for he ap-
preached the hotel as if DESTROYS of be-
ing captured.
When chased he did not run away,
but hid in a clump of bushes and re-
manned there until his captor picked
him up. Since then he has become very
tame, but at no time did the little fellow
evince any great amount of fear.
The body of the rabbit is just like
that of any other cotton-tail, and SO is
his head. The fur is the same, and the
animal seems to be about the size of
other members Of the same species. But
he has only one ear, and this gives him
an uncanny appearance. He. has been
dubbed the Unicorn Rabbit" and. the
solitary ear gives him a ferocious as
pect.
While bunnie has but one. outer ear
there seem to be two orifces. The open
ings are at the sides Of the ear and not
far from the usual places. E,rom around
them the skin grows toward the center
of the head, where it unites and forms
the single large ear. The opening or
hollow part Of the ear is turned back.
ward instead of to the sides, as is usual
with rabbits ears.
The rabbit does not seem to be annoy
ed by having but one ear. He hops
about the hotel as contented as any rab-
bit could be, and when picked up and
petted seems to be delighted at receiv-
ing the attention.

petition to the Antarctics.
Gilbert Bowick will head the British
expedition to the antarctics. Mr.. b.
wick is an expert antarctic traveller,
and to his enthusiasm is due the sue
cess of the preliminaries of the ex-
petition. Ever since the international
geographical congress decided six
months ago that antartic discovery
was a subject of even higher impor-
lance than exploration in northern
fields rumors of this expedition have
been in the air. When Mr.. Goschen
refused government assistance Mr..
Bowick hit upon an ingenious plan of
combining scientific research with
commercial profit, and secured good
backing in London. A whaler Of 300
tons and a small steamer are being
fitted out. These will leave Sept. l
with good crew and dozen scien-
tiflc men. The experts will be landed
on the south polar continent and the
ships will spend a year in catching
whales and seals. The explorers will
go inland with Lieutenant Pearys dogs

BARRIERS in the French ARMY.

The regimental figaro is quite char
acter. He is not always chosen for his
skill in the tonsorial art. He may have
been a butcher, baker or candle
stick maker before joining the corps.
His good conduct has promoted him to
the post and given him most enviable
position, for he receives a slight remu-
neration monthly from the pay Of each
trooper. He also enjoys immunity from
a certain number of drills, and has the
right Of remaining out of barracks until
10 o'clock every evening. He is re-
sponsible for the heads Of his comrades.

The Maldfvian Islanders.

Maldiyian islanders eat alone. Be
fore meal they retire to the most Sc
cluded spot they can find and eat with
drawn blinds or surrounded by
screen. The explanation Of this pre-
caution is more likely to be fear than
modesty. In days gone by the savage
no doubt concealed himself lest some
man stronger than he should snatch the
hard-earned food away.

be just as well for the Dillon board to

the lingo element. as the conservatives
are pleased to call those who would like

whereof, the doubling readers atten-
ton is called to the soul stirring debate
i'm the senate last week Immediately
preceding the passage of the Cuban
resolution by such a handsome vote.
BY the way. the vote gave this newspa-
per much pleasure. The senate passes
as a conservative body of lawmakers,
and the members thereof are supposed
to have arrived at years of discretion.
But when such gray-beard champions
of liberty as Vest and Sherman gave
utterance to those burning words of
eloquence in behalf of General Gomez
machette men, the dignity of the SEN
ate bled. and patriotic enthusiasm
reigned instead. Coming from such an
august body as the senate of the Unit
ed States. il looks as though we were
walking around with a chip on our
national shoulder.

State Of Montana.

der where Cleveland earned the right
to pose as an exemplar of patriotism or
morals. They will remember that in
the dark days of the rebellion his pat
riotism was manifested in the person
of a substitute. and that of late days
his morals were of that peculiar kind
that enabled him to set aside at his
pleasure the obligations of his solemn
oath to enforce the laws and to prosti-
tute the power OF his position TO oc-
complish purposes violative of these
laws. AS president he has neither re-
spected the platform upon which he
was elected, the wishes of the people.
nor the laws OF the country. From the
Cleveland standpoint this may be pat
riotic and moral, but the average self
respecting citizen will view IL in a far
different light: and no matter what
justification the president may plead,
they believe that he is willfully dis
honest in the course he is pursuing.
The trouble is that Cleveland has, by
some species OF reasoning persuaded
himself that he is the government.
while the masses hold to the constitu-
tional idea that he is only the execu-
tive officer of IL.
