We present above a reproduction of a
photograph giving, we believe, the very
first publication ever made of Il picture of
auadruped until recently almost unknown
to naturalists DIR. Frank S. BournS, of
the Minnesota Academy of Sciences, was
so fortunate as to secure II specimens
and bring out skins and skeletons of them
during his expedition to the Archipelago
lasting between three and four years. This
animal is found nowhere in the world but
on Palawan, one of the western islands
of the Archipelago, the animal life of
which is mostly similar to that OF Borneo.
Dr. Bourns regards the Timarao as u buf
falo belonging to the same genus as the
water buffalo of India. It's body is covered
with fine, short hair. 1t passes its life in
dense jungles and swamps. 1t is very
savage in it's disposition and charges an
enemy on sight with the ferocity OF the
The National tribune., 1898-07-14

black rhinoceros DIR. Bourns says that
the natives report that it always attacks
the other buffalo when it has opportunity,
and invariably defeats it's antagonist, al
though the latter is physically superior in
weight and much better armed with horns.
The horns of the TimaraO are rather short
and inclined backward, the-points turning
in, forming with the head and neck IA
general wedge-shape, so that when it
charges ut full speed through the iungles
it naturally divides it's path before it by
raising its nose and laying its horns back
upon its neck. The other buffalo, on the
other hand, which has double the weight
of this one, has immense, branching horns
and an equally fierce disposition. 1t has
been thoroughly described in Adventures
in the Philippines" The animal here pic
tured was shot by DIR. Bourns and photo
graphed after death.

INSECT HEAVY DRINKERS.



Butterflies Sit For Hours Sucking Moro
Moisture Than Needed.
By means Of q large number of OBJ
servations Mr.. J. w. Tut is able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted to drink.
In paper published in the proceed
ings" Of the South London Entomology
ical and Natural History society Mr..
Tut says there can be no doubt-that
butterflies drink more than is required
by their tissues under any possible con-
ditions. He has known Polyommatus
damon to sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
of sucking up and discharging the
moisture almost continuously.

mean cannot be surmised Another i'm

Is a strange one, the Thirsty souls,
Is far as bis observation goes, being al
most entirely males Possibly if exact
observations could be made it might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams
for drinking purposes, but as far as Mr..
Tut has been able to discover it is the
males alone who indulge il these copi-
GUS ibations, while the females are
away laying eggs. Moths and butter
flies Of both sexes visit sugar, overripe
fruit and similar dainties, but they do
so for food. The males alone seem to be
attracted by pure water, and Mr.. Tut
suggests that, their extra activity hav-
ing originally given them greater need
in this direction, a habit which was at
first necessity has become so pleasur.

If it seems desirable to have a means

why not adopt the delightful old custom

In all my musical experience have
never heard anything more thrilling

sounds became associated with religious
experiences, they might arouse the dor

THE TOWN OF CARDENAS.


The town of Cardenas is on the
south shore of the very shallow bay
of the same name. Access to the
bay from the north is obtained by a
number of shallow and tortuous
channels between the keys which
form it's northern and eastern boun-
diaries. It is abont nine miles across
the bay from north to south. Four
miles north of the main channel,
Piedras and Mono keys for partly
sheltered. anchorage, which we &C.
cupied during the day.
In the shallow waters inside the
inner keys, safe from our heavy
draught vessels, the Spanish gun
boats kept up an activity at once a
threat and a challenge to the block
aders. Two or three times a day one
or more of them would stand boldly
out from the shadows until almost
in range, and, after long circle of
inspection, steam slowly back to
their shelter.
The appearance OF the town and
surrounding country matched that

ness and absolute quiet. Three OF
four good sized stone wharves GOV.

and dozen wooden wharves, com.

this, toward the hills, extended the
town, very nearly in the form Of &

limits. To the westward, from the
mangroves at the waters edge to the

brake. More elevated and less
