~ ignore the remarks of the family con-
corning his rather surprising want of tim
ldlty, out he appears to be on the best of
terms with the household cat, who refuses
to be "sicked" onto him.
Where he came from no one knows. A
little girl of the family came running into
the house one day and announced that
there was great big rat' outside. who
was eating carrots and who wouldn't paw
any attention to her DR.. Lane went ont
to investigate. There sat the rat on his
haunches on pile of carrots He had
just finished carrot and was polishing
his jowls with Is forepaws. DR.. Lane bent
over and peered into the animals face
The rat regarded him thoughtfully a min
ute, as if trying to recall his face. and
then proceeded with is additions. Other
members of the family were called on. and
each in turn approached the stranger and
examined him.
He paid no attention to them. When his
countenance was thoroughly cleansed he
dropped to his four feet and walked Sc
dately away in the direction of the brook
Then 1t was that DR.. Lane saw. by his
FURRY back, that he was a muskrat This
discovery made his behavior seem all the
more singular. All the muskrats DR.. Lane
mao ever seen had dropped with a "chug''
off the bank into the water at his an
proach, and when next seen were swim
ming far out in the stream, with only
their eyes out of water.
The next day the muskrat appeared at
the carrot pile, and the next. He regard
ed all who came near him with naughty
disdain, and declined to leave off his
meals long enough to observe them. The
cat, which is death on ordinary rats, was
brought out, and the effrontery of the in
truder's conduct was pointed out TO her.
She bristled up at first, but on closer ap-
proach look of recognition passed over
her face, and she declined for the first
time in her life to do her duty.
The muskrat has now taken UP his quar-
ters in the woodshed back of the house
He drags dozens of carrots thither and
scatters them over the back porch with a
reckless disregard for appearance. He
tolls not neither does he spin, but he
takes swim in the brook back of the
house every morning. and returns greatly
refreshed. Sometimes members of the
family lay hold of him when cropping for
wood after dark. He usually resents
such familiarity with squeaks, but never
troubles himself to get out of the way
next time.

PRODUCING MIsFIT BUGS
Mr.. Champion With Grated Moths
and BUTTERFLIES
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
Members of the chronological Society
were intensely interested last night at the
Museum of Natural History in an address
by Henry E. Champion on experiments in
the grating of different Individual and
different species of moths and butterflies
on each other. The paper was Illustrated
with, preserved specimens and photo
graphs.
Mr.. Champions real purpose is to learn
one of the secrets of nature-the princi-
| pies and components regulating the color
ing of insects-but his experiments have
produced some remarkable results. Tho
creatures which were the subjects Of his
operations have four stages of Qfe-fhe
egg, the worm, usually the caterpillar, the
pupae, or chrysalis, and the fully deyel-
oped insect. The pupae contain what is
scientifically known as hoemolymph, a
| fluid.
Mr.. Champion cut in two various speci-
mems of the pupae. chiefly Of the varieties
found on ailanthus and wild cherry and
button bali trees In the near city, and
united paiN of one to part of another, sur
rounding the point of juncture with paraf-
fine wax. In this way he produced a num-
Der of living Insects Not only did he get
a living moth with the head of one indi-
1
another kind, but he produced monsters,
two heads joined together. perfect twins
Joined at the middle and double heads
one at each end. All of them were killed
after five days of life and preserved.
The proportions of successful union were
small or twenty-nlne of the same species
so joined only three developed to fun life
OF thirty-two of different species only one
developed. None of different sexes lived.
Experiments in grating have been con-
fined to creatures which lay eggs. G.. Born
has grated parts of frogs on parts Of
toads and has attached together tadpoles
i each with half q liver in which the livers
united in common liver. A Philadel-
phia man is working on fowls. and hopes
In time to produce four-legged chicken.
How much higher the process can be car
ried the scientists decline to say.
Mr.. Champion now has several hundred
pupae with which he is experimenting
and will try to breed from the monsters
he produces from his severed and misflt
pupae a race of monster moths and but
terlies,s and to study the influence Of dlf-
ferent Kinds of hoemolymphs on colorings.
When the question Of producing three
headed mosquitoes was brought up in the
society last night everybody laughed. and
said that was a matter for the future.

egation of New York business men, repre-
senting a large number of well-known and
influential firms in the city, asking that
action be taken by this government look
ing to the establishment of peace in
Cuba. The memorial recites that the war
in Cuba during the last three years has
resulted in a yearly average loss of inn
port and export traao Notween Cuba and
the United States of $1O0,OOO,09O. In this
sum Is not Included the heavy sums ire

lean properties in Cuba, or properties sup
ported by American capital, such as SUI
gar factories, railways and tobacco plan

the losses of citizens of the United States
are stated to be far greater than those of
all other parties concerned, not excepting
Spain itself Like its two predecessors
the sugar crop of 1S97-9S is virtually lost
Only about Is per cent. of the sugar facto-
