that several horses owned by the Eureka
Delivery Company on City Hall avenue
were being literally starved to death.
Hobrook at once went to the place and
found five horses in a stable in the rear of
the office OF the com pany. Their appear
ance showed conclusively that they had
OF been living on the fat OF the land.
There was no sign of feed of any de-
scripiion in any of the stalls, and there
was nothing but the bare floors for the
animals to lie down on.
In the rear stall were two horses, and
they had been gnawing at the wooden
walls to satisfy their hunger, and there
was evidence 10 snow that they had been
forced to eat the refuse on the floor. In
the adjoining stall two horses had been
enaw ing at their wooden teedbox.
II olbrook went TO the Office and asked
who had charge OF the horses. II. J..
Duke, young man, replied that he was
looking after them. Holbrook at once
placed him under arrest and booked i'm
at the City Prison on charge of CT uely

prison, ordered him to send for some feed

are in II plane. But the nautilus diff
fers from the shells of all snails in an
other and more important respect. In
Il living snail the body of the animal
usually fills the whole shell from the
mouth to the tip of the spire. The maui
titus, on the contrary, occupies only a
portion of the shell. about One-half of
the last turn. The rest of the shell is
divided by cross-partitions into a large
number of chambers. and these are
filled with air. Furthermore, a slender
tube, the siphon, uns from the outer,
or body. chamber, through all the 9th
ers to the center of the shell. All this
may be seen from the figure of the
nautilus. The structure may be bet
ter understood if we imagine that we
take a common tin horn and a number
of circular tin disks of different and
proper sizes. Let each disk be concave
on one side and have a hole in its cen
ter. Imagine a small disk to be sol
dered across the tube near the small
end. and at intervals of half an inch
other disks as far as the middle of the
tube. The tube would now be divided
into a number of chambers, the outer
most of which is large. and would rep
resent the portion of the shell occupied

disks would onnect the chambers.
Now, suppose that n small tin tube
just fitting the holes were to be run

to the tip of the horn, and to be sol

through them. This would represent

THE pEHRlY NAUTILUS and ITS
KINDRED.

No man who wishes to obtain a clear
conception of the present condition of
any civilized nation can ignore history.
He must study the development of the
nation from it's beginning to its present
state, and know something about all
the people with which it has come in
contact. The present is everywhere
the child of the past.
Likewise the naturalist, if he desires
to understand thoroughly living things,
must have knowledge of the related
forms which have persisted from the
earth. He must learn the succession
o fthese forms and the notifications
which they have undergone during the
lapse of ages.
But 1t is still more necessary that the
student of fossil animals should under
stand the structure and habits of those
who now live. These statements may
be confirmed by a study of the nauti-
lus. The animal itself belongs among
the rarities; the shell is common and
well known. Field Columbian Muse
UNI possesses an alcoholic specimen of
the animal in it's shell. and a consider
able number of the shells, some whole,
others sectionCd 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 in~describable. Like most snail
shells, that of the nautilus is wound
spirally, but, unlike them, all the coils

been derived from a straight-cham-
bered shell, like that of the o~rthoceras,
simply becoming more and more bent
then clOSely-cOileQ. AS long as the
nautilus lives new chambers are being
formed. At intervals the animal moves
forward in it's body chamber and then
secretes itself behind Il new partition.
The shell grows, meanwhile, by addi-
tons to h free edges of the mouth.
The outer walls of the shell consist of
two layers, an outer one, resembling
porcelain and banded with terra Gotta
and white, and an inner, pearly one,
which displays the iridescent tintS.
Very often, in shop shells, the outer
layer has been wholly removed.
The nautilus is Il close relative of
the squads and the octopus. From the
body and out of the mouth of the shell
it can extend sometimes as many as
ninety arms. In the enter of the circle
of arms is the mouth, armed with pow
crful, p~arrot-like jaws. Like all the
squids and OctOpi, the nautilus is Who'll
ly c~aTnivorouS, its food consisting of
crabs and fishes. In the East Indian
and Philippine islands the natives
catch the nautilus in traps baited with
small fishes or pieces of chicken and
sunken to a depth of seventy fathoms
d. more. The flesh is regarded as a
delicacy.
AT the sea bottom the nautilus creeps
about on its arms with the shell above
it. 1t is said to come at times to the
surface of the water in swarms and to
swim there for Il short period. The
swimming is accomplished, as in the
squids, by drawing water into the

existence. More than 800 species are
known to have existed. Its 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 a di-
ameter of nearly a foot.
The nautilus has in all periods of its
existence had a host of relatives. Some
of these appear, as might be expected,
to antedate its own advent. The or
thoseras goes back into the cambrian
period. 1t had n straight shell, begin
ming when young with a nearly sharp
point, and, as age was attained, grow
ing longer and wider and adding new
chambers. The figure shows il portion
of Il foSsilized Orthoceras. On the right
we have the chambers, now filled with
rock, separated by the partitions. On
the upper side a portion of the outer
wall of the shell is seen. 1t is only
when this outer wall is removed that
the edges of the partition cal be seen.
On the left of the figure the shell has
been split in the middle so as to show
the Siphon. This is a common fossil

shown. In some shells when the wall
is removed the partitions are seen in
great numbers and forming most COM
plicated patterns.
In form the ammoniteS present re-
markable variations. They may be
straight, bent like a cows horn, coiled
loosely like the gyroceraS, or closely,
as the phylloceras. The figure Of the
ancyloceras shows one of the more re-
markable forms. Although most of the
species have the shell with all the coils
in one plane. some are found in which
they wind around Just as does the shell
of a snail. Specimens of all these
strange shells may be seen in the mu-
scum. Some of them exceed two feet
in diameter. More than 6,0oO species
are known to exist. All these am
monites are long ago extinct. They be-
came so specialized that the environ
