PUZZLE IN NATURAL HISTORY

PUZZLE IN NATURAL HISTORY.
 The Natural History museum in New York city possesses a stone on which is traced rudely but plainly a drawing of monkey by a prehistoric race art ist, This stone was found in an exca- vation near Portland, Ore. Query? How did the aboriginal race of Oregon, who had no boats for long ocean journeys. acquire knowledge of the monkey of tropical regions. Like the lost arts this is a secret of the past The geology of Oregon and Washing ton is that they rose in a gigantic up- heaval of the past out of the sea, the higher elevations of the Cascade moun- tain range penning up large body of salt water in what is now often called the inland empire" of those states, which after ages of time with the as- sistance of melting snows and rains cuts it's way through the mountains in the gorge of the Columbia river at the Dalles, Ore. When you are in New York again take a look at the prehis- toric artists work in the museum. Then visit the Lighthouse Point Zoo and speculate on the close resemblance of the monkeys of this day exhibited there to his prehistoric relative. All free at the Point; theater, Zoo and wargraph pictures.

IN MEMORIAM.
E. T P

k. T. F.
 Some souls there are to angels lives akin,
 Dwelling on earth, yet keeping ever near
 The golden city's gates; so they may
 hear
 The harmony before they enter in.
 Through all the discords of this world of sin
 They hear the voice of God and feel no fear"
 The above lines are verified in the life and death of Eliza Townsend Parker
 daughter of the late Joseph Parker, just laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery at New Haven.
 A brief mention of this dear one, 1t is thought, will be acceptable to those friends who were privileged to know her intimately, and who appreciated the combined strength and sweetness of her character. Withdrawn from society and active life by a long and patiently endured period of invalidisn, her warmth of heart and unusual loveliness of dispo- sition made her ever mindful of others and constant in acts of the most deli cate kindness and unselflsh devotion to those whom she could comfort or bene- fit in any and every way. With Q gentleness and tact, and con- sideration and refinement alas! toe
 rare, her thoughts were ever reaching out to other sufferers in truest sympa- thy, literally feeling with them, and not sparing herself when weak and inca pacitated.
 But above all her memory will be ten derly cherished not only for her great noble heart and loving nature, but for her unfaltering faith, her perfect trust in her Saviour through many years oi pain and weariness and seclusion. That faith burned only more and more brightly unto the perfect day. No word of murmur or questioning ever dimmed it's light, and with expressions of peace and loving trust in her Lord and Saviour she gladly fell asleep breathing cut a life that, though dark ened by trial and suffering, was ever ir union with God. We bless Thy Holy Name for all Thy
 servants departed this life in Thy faitt
 and fear" A: M. c.

CAPTAIN sLoCuM,s TRIP,

The little sailboat Spray, Captain Joshua Slocum, was built by the cap- tain himself The captain is remark able individual, not only for the voy- ages he has made and the ingenuity and persistence he has shown in his construction of his Spray and the sail ing of her without a compass through dangers that would make the stoutest mariners cheek pale, but because of the immense fund of knowledge he has accumulated both of persons and places. In the course of his voyage he has come in contact with some of the and met with the most cordial recep- tions.
 Captain Slocum has merely put in at New London for a few days, and though some of his friends desired to have him give one of the lectures that he has been in the habit of giving, he declined.
 Among the many letters from enli- nent persons which the captain treas- ures is one from friend, Captain Fish CT of H. M. s. Orlando. The captain wrote just after he had received the news of DeWey's exploit at Manila and said that he was profoundly pleased at any advance Brother Jonathan could make, that the real sympathies of the English people were with the United States, and he firmly believed the one thing necessary to keep war from retarding the advance of civiliza- ton was the union of the English speaking races. It is a most glowing tribute to the Yankees and all the more to be przed because it is the private sentiment of gentleman who can be regarded as representative of English naval feeling.

OBITUARY

DEATH OF ALBERT FLETCHER.
 Albert Fletcher, the youth who so narrowly escaped asphyxiation by gas last Sunday morning at his home, 17S Howard avenue, died at the hospital yesterday morning. Every recourse known to medical science was tried to bring the victim out of it, but without avail.
 All the time since he was taken to the hospital the young man has been kept inhaling oxygen and his stomach has been pumped repeatedly. He died without gaining consciousness.
 The young mans father is the man. ager of the New York Meat and Gro- cery store on Lamberton street, and the son was well known and bore high reputation.
 Medical Examiner White has investi- gated the case and he believes that the gas was extinguished accidentally pos sibly by sudden gust of wind from an open window.
 The funeral services will be held to- morrow afternoon at 8 o'clock at the home of his parents. The Rev. Henry McCrea will officiate.
