presents worth 5000 which brought the
total up TO $4,000.

D-ort from the superintendent Of the in
sane asylum at Pueblo, Colorado, OF the
mental condition of Herman Bickness,

deavor 20 put this document in evidence

According 10 the superintendent's re-
port the mental aberra ton OF Mrs Luet-

rl.h Taund ON Land.

A very curious species of fish which
lives on dry land for ten months In the
year wns recently discovered by DIR.
Suard in the Moro district OF the French
Soudan, some 500 miles from the coast.
This fish belongs 20 the family Of ST.
luri, and very much resembles the
Clarlas. II lives in the marshes which
are formed during the two months OF
rainy season in that zone, and after
that time II hides In holes In the
ground, which the Ash leaves at night
10 search for its food, consisting mainly
OF millet seed. DIR. Suard named this
fish the Clnrias Lazera. and describes
it's appearance, which differs from the
Silpri mainly in the number of barbs,
Of which the newly Undiscovered has
eight, all OF which are strongly de-
seloped. This spccies differs from the
African mudhsh, Trosopteras, in thatit
does not close itself up in ca psule dur
ing the hot end dry season. like the
latter fish, which remains In condi-
ton OF semi-catalcpSy during summer.
The Clarlas Lazcra only hides during
the hottest hours OF the day. aud Is out
on dry lnnd every night throughput
the year.-St Louis Globe Democrat.
