He was studying fossil fish in the
Jardin des Plantes but had never been
able to determine the species TO his sat

he caught tho very fish and without dif-
ticulty determined the question: think.

he would have no difficulty. But on
returning to the fossil something in the
dream had escaped him. and he could
no more determine the species than DO.

The next night no had the same dream
and again forgot the essential point.
He then determined to take "A pencil and
paper with him to bed and make his

came the third time, but to his surprise
OH fully awakening he found tho draw

with three bones displayed in it which
were not visible in the fossil, and which
solved the problem. On returning To the
Jardin dos Plantes he obtained permits
sion Of his friend. tho director, to chip
away a scale of stone which lay on the
spot where the bones were in tho draw

A very common error IL prevalent
that the work Of reporters, given In

SPEAKING PASSING SHIPS.



New Efforts to Revive Old Time Courte-

The fine old custom of speaking pass
ing ships Ia rapidly dying out among
the shippers Of today, and the general
opinion seems TO DO that the modern
master is, as a rule. too easy going to
bother about anything of the sort
Colonel Hozier, the secretary Of
Lloyds. considers that deal Of trouble
and anxiety would often be avoided IL
captains would but take the trouble to

their signals. In many instances anxiety
with respect to overdue vessels would
be allayed, and, furthermore, there
would continually be news for tho
friends Of masters and for the hundreds
