AfrIca's Ancient sea.

Recent studies Of the animal lite OF
Lake Tanganyika have shown that
that lake differs from all the other
African lakes In possessing inhabi-
tants that belong to oceanic species.
Still, these singular denizens Of Lake
Tanganyika are not exactly like the
marine organisms Of the present day,
and the conclusion Is drawn that sea,
connected with the open ocean, once
occupied the part OF Africa where
Tsnganyika now lies, and that the
lake is the last remnant of the ancient
sea. Youths Companion.

Making Horses step High.

Spectacles for horses have been pa.
tented by an inventor, and are being
used with considerable success. Their
object is not so much to magnify OBJ
jects as to make the ground in front
OF the horse appear nearer to his head
than IL really is. The result is con-
tinual high stepping. which, after o
while, becomes natural, aud gives to
Q horse an aristocratic gait, which be
will retain for many years.

Statistics OF the Blind In Europe.


A Russia medical journal has just
published a series Of statistical arti-
cles showing the number Of blind per-
sons in Europe. French scientists,
while not doubling the truth Of the
figures, consider them somewhat re-
markable Of the 302, 900 totally blind
persons in Europe, 1872, 900 are in
Russia--that is to say, one out Of
every 500 subjects of the Gear is blind.
II Is believed that this unfortunate
proportion is equaled by no other
country in the world. The proper
ton in France, England, Germany,
Italy and Spain is recorded as a little
less than one to every 1000 of popula-
ton. The Russian physicians who
compiled the statistics attribute the
great number Of blind persons in
Russia to the bad hygienic state Of
peasant life, to the intense cold, and
to the glare OF the sun on the snow,
which the Russian rustic takes pride
in facing. 1t is reported that the
total number of blind persons in the
world Is 2, 000, 900.

He Does Not Fear the Cold, and Is Found
Even I'm the Arctic Regions.

Even I'm the Arctic Regions.
In the ST. Nicholas there is an
article on "The Bundle Bee," written
by Barney Hoskin Standish. Mr..
Standish says:
This chunky, hairy, noisy fellow is
king Of the cold. He stays with MS
summer and winter, and is said to
prefer the Arctic region TO the tropics.
I do not doubt this, for he will sleep
out OF doors any cold night Of the
spring or fall without asking for an
extra blanket. Indeed, he is home
less for nine or ten months of the
year, lodging wherever night over
takes him, on blossom, a leaf, and
even upon the ground. II be has any
choice in tho matter I think he pre-
fers the thistle, where the spines are
thickest. Perhaps he is aware that
these stingers will guard him from the
skunk and the snake while his own
are in a body stifiened with cold and
drowsy with sleep.
There are three kinds OF humble
bees reared in q nest, queens, drones,
and workers. The queens alone sur
vive the winter. They apparently
spend the first few weeks Of spring
waiting for red-clover to bloom, the
first blossom OF which is the signal for
nest building Before this they visit
the willows. hum a soft bass about
the lilacs. thrust their long tongues
into the honeysuckles and grow fat at
the exhaustless honey-iars Of the
waterleaf, and then the play-day ends
and labor begins.
Nest building with them does not
mean nest construction. One bee
alone could not we'll do that, besides,
she is in big, bustling hurry now;
she has actually seen clover blossom.
Out and in among the dead matted
grasses Of last years growth she
goes, hunting perhaps for the aban.

be remembered that these little ami
mails build upon the surface OF the
ground soft nests Of grasses In which
they winter. From these they have
runways leading In different direc-
tons. The bee goes down into the
dead grass, scrambling on as best she
may, until she finds one OF these run.

When this is done he takes long

A Step Ahead.

From the Pittsburg Times.
The authorities of the. great Univcr-
slty of Heidelberg have taken n step
which is full of significance of h new
light which is slowly but surely break
ing upon Germany. They have for
hidden the students duels, which, from
timeimmemorial have been a feature OF
the life at hat and other great German
institutions of learning. These affairs,
II is true, had rarely been attended with
fatal results. the principal object being
for each party to mark the other with
the swords point rather Than to fnflic.
a fatal injury. Nevertheless they fos-
tered a contentious spirit and formed
the groundwork OF the serious duellins
system which has SO long been a dis
grace to Germany. The action OF
Heidelberg university In f~orbidding stu
dents duels nay prove an entering
wedge for the abolition of that whole
vicious practice. II Is another fndica-
ton that Germany's most enlightened
minds are growing weary, not only OF
the duello. but OF the militarism which
is the blight Of the nation and q
Europe.
The Kaiser. who recently prayed so
f~ervently at Jerusalem for peace. ought
to be delighted with this action of the
university, but the chances are that he
will not regard II with much favor.

The Apathy of Europe.

Madrid. Nov. 22-The proposals OF the
United States peace commissioners have
been received here without any public
demonstration The general feeling Is in
favor of a speedy ending of the negotia-
lions. The newspaper lament the "un-
generosity" of the United States In Of
fering ''such n small indemnity" They
think that Japan or some OF the Euro
pean powers would have paid a high
price.
There are those who contend that Il
would be better to decline indemnity alto
eether. because the government could
then decline responsibility for the Phil
ippine debt. There is much Irritation at
the apathy OF Europe.

Kinley now boasts of having himself
written the protocol I'm order to mislead
Spain. This is adding insult to injury.
