 The preparations for a carnival at Guaymas this year had not been so ex- tensiye as heretofore, but at the last moment the fun loving people of that city made up their minds to have "Eestd" and they had it.
 The festivities began Sunday after noon, February 2Sth, with procession of carriages and floats gaily decorated with flowers and bunting. The pa- rade was led by four young gentlemen dressed in Indian costumes, riding horses, who were followed by four tastefully decorated floats, each one containing a number of handsome young ladies, dressed in fancy and ar tistic costumes. A feature of the pro- cesSion was the profusion of beauti- ful flowers especially roses.

After the banquet the host and his guests repaired to tue bay, where Le- levier's launch was procured and trip was taken around the harbor, which was quite treat to the Nogales boys, some of whom had had not ridden on the water for many months. Breta- dos orchestra --one of the finest string bands in Mexico occupied the launch while the boys and several cases of champagne were towed behind in a large boat. As the music from the concealed orchestra ahead fioated over the waves and reached the ears of the young men in the boat, il seemed like trip over some lake ir fairyland, and everybody wished that the enchantment could last always After the the orchestra had played q couple of selections, MT.

Arm. of s,ara.h Thrown on.


There is found in the Mediterranean,
and in adjacent seas a starfsh which
has been noted to have when young
six arms, whilst the adults only have
five, and sometimes three of these arms
are much smaller than the others.
DR.. e. o Marenzeller has observed
that the arms are actually thrown OF,
a not uncommon custom of echino-
derms. while the disc that remains will
often bud out fresh arms. The reason
for this Subdivision ne gives as fol-
lows: "The animals are affected by a
certain parasite called Mysostoma,
which, passing in at the mouth, takes
up its quarters in the blind extensions
Of the stomach that pass into the arms.
Here it grows, and occasions such in
convenience to its host that the latter
takes the heroic course of getting rid
of the arm in which the parasite re-
sides. At first the creature is endowed
with its full complement of arms, and
should parasites get into them all, they
will all in turn be dispensed with and
re-grown; but most cases only five are
thus renewed, and occasionally only
three"
