Mysterious Glass Balls.

The small island of Billion, between
Sumatra and Borneo, has long been ia
nous for its rich tin mines, which are
controlled by the Dutch government. In
describing the geology of Billion be-
fore the Royal Academy of Sciences in
Amsterdam recently Mr.. Verbeek gave
An account of the mysterious "glass
balls Of Billion" which are found
among some Of the tin ore deposits.
They are round, with grooved surfaces.
Similar balls are occasionally found in
Borneo and Java, as we'll as in Aus
tralia. Mr.. Verbeek thinks they cannot
be artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volcanic bombs. Besides, be
says, the CLASSY rocks produced by the
nearest volcanoes are quite different in
their nature from the material Of the
balls. He suspected that the mysterious
objects were elected ages ago from the
volcanoes of the moon and afterward
tell upon tho earth.

Some Show Friendly and Unselfsh Traits
Difficult to Understand.
A French scientist has lately written
an interesting paper on altruism in ami.
mails, arriving at the startling conclu-
| sion that animals are perhaps better
| Christians than men. He says, "Ani-
NAL societies are less polished, but per-
haps more humane, all things being
equal, than u own" and gives several
instances of animal species made use OF
by another and performing services for
the latter without receiving anything
in exchange.
Among others is mentioned ths case
Of the crocodile and the bird trochilus
on the banks Of the Nile. This bird per-
forms two services for the crocodile. 1t
enters into its mouth and dispatches
there the worms and leeches which
trouble the crocodile. It flies rapidly
away, giving vent to a peculiar cry,
when the %ichneumon, the enemy Of the
crocodile, approaches, thus apprising its
companion of the ichneumon's presence.
In return the crocodile shakes its tail
whenever it wishes to close it's mouth,
thus giving the bird warning. The croc-
odile in no wise recompenses, but con-
tents itself simply with respecting the
person of the little animal. The service
rendered is unilateral. But it is easy to
understand that by the exercise of ex-
tremely little intelligence, if not un-
consciously, the crocodile may be led to
defend its trochilus.
Sometimes n animal will borrow
the services Of another temporarily, as
in the case Of the serpent who is ferried
across q river by a duck, or, as fire.
quently seen, several animals assist one
another in crossing streams of water. in
lifting large stones, in moving the
trunks OF trees, in constructing dams, in
hunting or in mutual defense. Aphids,

ENGLISH ROYALTY.
What It Is Said to Cost the British Tax
payer Yearly.

What It Is Said to Cost the British Tax
payer Yearly.
The chancellor of the e~xchequer went
out of his way recently, says Labou-
chere, in London Truth, to explain how
little the monarchy costs England. The
crown lands, he said, belong to the SOW
ereign and produce 50, O6O, 900 per an
mum. The queen receives instead of
this revenue 81, 925, 900 and the rest of
the royal family 81, O6O, OOO. Therefore
the total cost of monarchy to the tax
payer is 1925, 600. The entire calcula-
ton proceeds on the erroneous assump-
ton that the crown lands are the pri-
vate property Of the sovereign. This
they are not. They originally formed a
portion of the general revenue of the
country, out of which came the main
tenance Of the sovereign.
That abject fiunky Lord Butte, wish.
ing to curry favor with George III, in
serted in the civil list act which was
passed on that monarch's accession q
renunciation by him Of the crown lands,
and this remuneration by a sovereign Of
what he did not possess is the basis Of
the theory of these crown lands being
the private property of the occupant of
the throne.
According, therefore, to Sir Michael
dioks-Beach's own figures, monarchy
costs England 50, $50, 900. The real
amount is, however, much higher, for
there are numberless expenses incidental
to the institution which be does not in
clude. The hard fact remains that in
France the president receives 5000, 900
per annum and fulflls with decent
splendor all the duties of the head of
the state, while with England the mon
archy costs nearer 81, 200, 900 than
1000, 900 francs. A defense, therefore,
Of monarchy on the ground of economy
hardly holds water.
Campbell, comparatively unknown,
received $18, 500 for the pleasures Of
Hope though Burns, less fortunate.
was paid $125 for the first Kilmarnock
edition of his poems-single copies Of
which now sell for far more-and
81, $50 for the second edition.
