MT Bryan should be quietly informed that the people do not care to hear any more from him on the monetary subject until 1900.-Chicago Times-Herald.
 If the Times Herald is correct when 1t asserts that the people do not care to hear any more from him (Mr. Bryan), on the monetary subject until 1900' whose duty is 1t to quietly inform" MT. Bryan of this fact? Why should any one so inform him? If the people do not want to hear him we know of no way to force them to listen to him. How Is 1t possible for MT. Bryan to get up any interest and draw crowds to hear him if the people themselves are unwilling to hear the leader? If, as the Times Her aid says. the people do not care to hear from Mir. Bryan, then the gold bugs need not be uneasy.

geological periods furnished species
not very different from those now in
existence. More than 300 species are
known to have existed. It's golden age
was during the coal period, when at
least 81 species existed, but it has
steadily dwindled in Importance until
now there are only about half a dozen.
If the reader will enter the paleonto-
logical rooms of the museum he may
see some of the ancient species. A
few Of those there exhibited reach di-
ameter of nearly foot.

No man who Wishes to obtain . clear
conception Of the present condition Of
.nv civilized nation can ignore history.
He must study the development Of the
nation from its beginning to Hs present
stote and know something about all
the people with which 1t has come in
contact. The present is everywhere
the child Of the past.
Likewise the naturalist, IL he desires
to understand thoroughly living things,
must have knowledge Of the related
forms which have persisted from the
Garth. He must learn the succession
q these forms and the notifications
which they have undergone during the
lapse OF ages.
But it is stu more necessary that the
student of fossil animals should under
stand the structure and habits Of those
who now live. These statements may
he confirmed by a study of the nauti-
Ina. The animal itself belongs among
The raritles; the shell is common and
well known. Field Columbian Muse
UNI possesses an dlcOuoAlc speclnueM VI
the animal In Its shell, and a consider
able number of the shells, some whole,
others sectioned so as to show the in
ternal structure. Some of these are
small; others reach a diameter Of nine
inches
The form of the shell may be seen
from the figure; the tints which adorn
it are ipdescribable. Like most snail
shells, that of the nautilus is wound
