A Mysterious Animal.

In describing his recent explorations
among the Solomon Islands, Lieutenant
Somerville Of the British navy tells of
"a rarely seen hairy animal inha biting
the jungles in the interior Of New Geor-
gia Island. The natives fear it as an
evil spirit, believing that it can inflict
sickness and death upon those who see
it. Lieutenant Somerville was unable
to obtain a glimpse of the animal. but
his companion. Lieutenant Weigall, on
one occasion saw hairy animal at the
edge Of the jungle. but could not get
near enough to form a clear idea Of its
appearance. 1t is thought that 1t may
resemble an anthropoid ape, but a ma
tive who had seen monkey on ship
board said it was not very like the ami
NAL of the jungle. Great difficulty is
experienced in penetrating the jungle
on account Of the wonderful density Of
the yeHetatiOn.

from the air by the aid of plant is de-
scribed BY DR.. I. l.. Phipson in the
Chemical News. Inside a glass bell
Jar, suspended over water, is placed a
mushroom, and sunlight is allowed to
fall upon the plant. The mushroom alb
serbs the oxygen from the air in the
jar, and the carbonic acid formed dur
ing the process Is absorbed by the
water, which gradually rises in the jar
to one-dfth Of its height. The mush-
room now dries up; but its animation il

All who have made pedestrian tours
through the Alps remember the vivid
beauty OF the mountain flowers. Com
pariaions lately made by Doctor Dufour
show that the superior purity and splen-
dor Of floral colOrs In the Alps are not
INN ginary, or a mere effect Of contrast.
The reds, blues and yellows Of the
mountain blossom are much more in
tense than those Of the same species Of
flowers grown at ordinary levels. The
leaves. also, have q deeper and richer
green, and microscopic examination
shows that chlorophyl lie more abun.
dant In Alpine plants than in those Of
the plains. One fact which seems quite
natural, yet Is very interesting. is that
on the mountains plants have relatively
smaller aerial organs and larger subter.
ranean ones. Thus, graceful flower
which, In the plains, Is seen nodding al
the summit of an aspiring stem, will be
found on the mountain slopes hugging
the coil, anchored By comparatively
heavy roots, and beaming up with &C.
centuated beauty from the ground.

The Swedish explorer of Central Asln.
Sven Hedin, gives the latest informa-
ton concerning the wandering" Of
Lake Nor in the Cobb desert, pine
nomenon about which contradictory
views have been entertained. He says
that the Tarim River, entering the lake
from the west, brings down, during the
period of high water late in summer, a
great quantity Of silt, which has the
effect Of driving the lake, lying on the
level door Of the desert, toward the
southeast But the summer wind. drift
Ing the surface sand and darkening the
heavens with dust. blows generally
from the northeast. and it, too. tends to
drive the lake before it. The combined
effect of the urging by the wind and the
river Is to force the lake southwark.
Yet Sven Hedin thinks the migration of
the lake Is not constant in direction, but
It shifts back and forth internationally,
according as the circumstances change.
