IN THE ANIMAL WORLD.
Interesting Points About Them That Are
Not Generally Known.

Interesting Points About Them That Are
Not Generally known.
The organs of smell in vulture and
a carrion crow are so keen that they
can scent their food for a distance OF
forty miles.
The wings of birds are not only to
aid locomotion in the air, but also on
the ground and water One bird even
has claws in the elbows of it's wings
to aid in climbing.
The elephant does not smell with its
trunk. His olfactory nerves are con-
tanned in single nostril, which is in
the roof of the mouth, near the front.
Humming birds are domesticated by
placing in their cages number of pa
per flowers of tubular form, containing
a small quantity of sugar and water,
which must be frequently renewed. OF
this liquid the birds partake and
quickly become apparently contented
with their captivity.
Rightly considered a spiders web is
a most curious as well as most beau
4iful thing. When we were children the
majority of us supposed that the spi-
der's web was pulled out of it's mouth
and that the little insect had large
reel of the stuff in his stomach, and
that he could almost instantly add feet,
yards or rods to the roll. The facts
are that spiders have regular spin
ming machine-a set of tiny tubes at
the far end of the body-and that the
threads are nothing more nor less than
a white, sticky fluid, which hardens as
soon as it comes in contact with the
air. The spider does not really and
truly spin" but begins thread by
pressing his "spinneret" against some
object, to which the liquid sticks. He
then moves away, and by constantly
ejecting the fluid and allowing it to
harden forms his ropes or wonderful
geometrical nets.

Suicide Statistics.

The statistics of suicide, which are
now very carefully reported, show that

are most prone to suicide. The Ger
mans lead in the number of such
deaths. The French come next The
Americans rank third. 1t is observed
that suicide is almost unknown among
the negroes.

0O0, and, between you and me, will give British gold for every dollar of it delivered to me in New York and-''
 But I mean, my 1ord,," interrupted Senator Wolcott, 4'I mean hat tthe sil- yer in our mines has been demOne- tized. It's only worth half price,"
 s'Oh, well, my dear senator, Eng land, you know, hasn't got any silver in the mines You know England, France, Germany, and all the Latin states buy their silver at the market price. We buy 50 cents worth of sil- yer, coin it, and guarantee it to be worth a dollar. Did it ever occur to you, senator, that England would be quite foolish to double the price of silver when we have to buy it? In fact, my dear senator, can't you see that all the civilized nations that buy silver are rather interested in keeping the price down?"
 Senator Wolcott's voice was silent.
 ''Why, yes, senator." continued Sal isbury, land don't you know your own government is very foolish to think of paying more than the market price for corn or cotton or silver just to benefit the farmers and mine owners? The $265, 100000 worth of your Yankee silver is as good as gold. England will sell you all the cloth, cutlery, and pottery you want for that silver. We civilized nations are all right. If you want to remonetize silver, seraor, wouldn't it be wiser to go to Africa, India or Mexico, where they are using billions of cheap demonetized silver? You can double the value of their sil- yer by remonetizing commercial sil- yer, but our silver is as good as gold now. India, China and Mexico are now using 50-cent silver. They would be as glad to have the value of their silver doubled as would the Denver mine owners. Don't you think so?"
 'Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, buzz" went the telephone, and Senator Vol colt called up Senator Jones of Ne vada, who yelled back from Washing ton:
 Silver be darned! Issue played out. Silver states joined republicans and looking after sheep."

 "Yes, my lord" said Senator Vol cott, "I hope that England is in favor of remonetizing silver"
 'fWh'at silver, Senator?" asked Sal- isbury.
 Why, all silver, my lord. It's all been demonetized, hasn't it?''
 Well, no-not quite all, sena.or The $112,0O0,000 we have coined in England Is all right. That is good as gold. The $492, ,O0O, 900 worth of silver that France has coined hasn't been de monetized. Germany has $215, ,000, 900 worth of coined silver, Russia $48, ,00O,- GOO, Austria $121, ,O00 ,000. Spainn $166.- 100000, and not a. dollar of this has been demonetized.
