energetic speech, denouncing the, home

his conduct during the recent crisis,
which, Sa8asta insisted, had led the

crown. The meeting resolved to issue
. manifesto declaring that the Liberals
would persist in abstaining from all re.
lations with the government 50 long as
the Duke of Tetuan is ~
Retained in the Cabinet.
The manifesto will also assert that the
Liberals were the authors of the first
colonial reform scheme in 1894 but cur.

Of the Conservatives. It will character.

The shapes of fishes have often been
studied with a view to determining the
best shape for boats with regard to
speed. There are many fishes whose
fins, or a part of them, at least, shut
down into cutters, so that when closed
and not in use they make no projection
beyond the body, but fold down into
these depressions, flush with the sur
face, and offering no obstruction what
ever to the rapid passage of the fish
through the water when swimming at
speed, driven by its tail fin used as a
propeller. The slime with which every
fish is coated which is in various ways
essential to it's comfort and existence,
helps the fish also to slide more easily
and rapidly through the water. In
fact, the fish, studied by men for ideas
in modelling, is not only speedy, but it
is, as one might say, always black-leaded
and ready for racing.

I have cut hydra into so separate
pieces and each piece became perfect
animal. 1t thrives on mutilation, for
from each wound new hydra is born.
Wherever the freshly cut surfaces of
hydras are joined together they will
adhere and grow together. Two by
dras or more may be made into one;
one may be made into almost any num-
Der.
But the hydra is not a vegetable.
Along with other low forms of animal
life, it was thought to be plant, until
about a century ago. Now we know
that it is an animal. 1t surely proves
that even in the animal kingdom the
organic unity, the individuality of some
creatures, is capable of change, is not
fixed until death.

Railroad without Cars.

In the forest of Bridal Veil, Ore, not
far from the Dalles, there is a rail-
road which does business without cars.
An article In the Northwestern Lum-
herman, describing the work of this
company, has picture of train" on
the road, which consists of an ordinary
locomotive, such as are common on log
ging roads, and a string of logs, each
log being as large in diameter as the
boiler of the engine, or larger. Boards
are nailed to the sleepers between the
rails, and on these the logs slide. Ex-
cept on descending grades, the boards
are CREASED, and the train moves at
good speed. Where the road is level
or slightly ascending, the engine pulls
the logs, and where it is descending it
holds them back. At the mills of this
company the manufactured lumber, re-
CARELESS of size, is run into fume,
and this is carried about two miles to
the planning mill and shipping yard,
the fume descending in that distance
about 1900 feet.

PUZZLES NATURALISTS.
They Have Had Much Trouble in
Classifying the Hydra.
Until Very Recently 1t Was Thought to
Be Plant, But Now 1t Is knOwn to
Be an Animal That Thripes
on MutiIation.

A veritable geological mystery, the
puzzle of scientists for ages, the hydra,
remains to-day an unsolved problem in
animal life; indeed, until quite recently
the authorities classed it, not as an ami
NAL at all, but as branch of the yege-
table kingdom.
In the case of the hydra, says the
Boston Globe, distinctions between ami
NAL and vegetable are confused and
partially obliterated. This extraor-
binary creature upsets all our theories
as to individuality.
The hydra is to be found commonly
in pools of stagnant water, and the
study of it, either with or without a
microscope, is both delightful and
Amazing.
The hydra's body is constructed after
the fashion of an ordinary coin purse,
or sac, having a mouth, and around the
mouth tentacula. The animal uses
these tentacles, corresponding to arms,
in the capture of its food, and in con-
iyeying the food into its mouth.
The arms are equipped with tiny bris-
ties and strong, pointed spines. The
spines are retained concealed in eXcres-
cences when not employed. When OPP
portunity for their use occurs they are
thrust forth in much the same fashion
that a cat unsheathes its claws.
The hydra attaches itself to some
firm object by means OF a sucker and
let's its tentacles float in the water, idly
to all appearances. In reality the
waving arms are industriously search
ing for prey.
Hard-shelled animals are swallowed
alive, and one can watch the continu-
alton of their efforts to escape, even
after they have been swallowed, so deli
cately thin is the texture of the hydra's
body. The spines, however, are sup
piled with poisonous secretion, sim
liar to that of spiders, and this is in
jccted into soft-bodied animals as they
are held in the clutch of the tentacles

As result the prey dies after being re-
tanned for short time in the grasp of
the arms.
Turn the hydra inside out and it
suffers no apparent damage. The
former outside of its stomach dipests
food as readily as did the former in
side.
Hydras have two ways of generating.
When the production is by eggs, or
seeds, they are elected as gelatinous
globules in the autumn, from which
the young issue in the spring. The
second manner of generating is by bud
ding. Buds spring from the external
surface of the parent hydra; these de-
velop into perfect animals, and are then
cast off.
And now we come to an attribute of
the hydra that is as strange as 1t is
impressive. Although the hydra is On
animal, the hydra is capable of numer-
Gus divisions, and every fragment be.

Nothing at all. Here it is in nut

three months. In her condition she ID
always queerly imaginative and deceit
full. She lost child a year ago in child
birth, and for several months before
it was born she almost ran her family
wild with her strange fancies. She has
been reading sensational literature for:
q long time, and when that murder oc-
Cured and her father offered a reward
for the capture Of the criminal it struck
her that the murderer would be apt to-
resent it. She tried to rouse the fears
of her father and husband on this line,
but, as they failed to see it her way,
she determined to make them do so.
She invented the yarn about having
seen man on the lawn the night she
astonished them by going to the gate
with her husbands revolver, and, fol-
lowing the murderer's idea of using q
typewriter, she wrote the threatening
letter to her father and enjoyed the ex-
element it caused. Later, fearing that
some one would see through her little
deception, she determined to make the
circumstances more convincing. The
detective stories she had read gave her
the idea of pretending to be shot at.
AS I have shown you, she dampened
the clay with the watering can, made
the footmarks by wearing her fathers
slippers, shot hole through her sleeve,
hid the revolver in the grass and has
had lot of fun out of our careful in
vestigations. If she had dreamt, how
ever, that she herself would be suspect
ed of that murder she would have shown
the white feather long ago."

CHAPTER XVI.

bricks called at the office of DR.. Lamp
kin in New York. He was shown into
an anteroom where half a dozen pa
tients sat in row against the wall, each
awaiting his turn. Hendricks sat down
