READY TO TAKE HIS GALL.
Surprising Offer of Bankrupt's Cred
ditor in Chicago.

Chicago, July 19.-Not long ago sub
Stantial looking New Yorker came to Chi
cago to engage in the retail cigar business.
He had seemingly good credentials and
rented an attractive little store on the
north side, buying its fixtures on credit.
On the same terms he laid in quite large
stock of goods and opened his doors for
patronage. He seemed to be doing quite
a good business and none of his numer-
Gus creditors manifested the least alarm
as to the safety of their accounts. Sud
denly he made an assignment. His cred
tors were notified and a full meeting was
held in the office of his attorney the sor-
rowful bankrupt not being present with
them.
The attorney made a polite anG pacific
speech. An eastern creditor. who had Sc

Gals of the autonomfst government IN
Porto Rico urging annexation.
He thinks there will be no difficulty
in capturing Porto Rico. He says the
Spanish forces in the island consist Of
5000 regulars, about 5000 volunteers,
1000 municipaI guards and 1000 civil
guards. He believes that at least 1900
of the volunteers will go over to the
Americans in a body with their arms
and equipments as soon as the United
States troops effect a landing. The to-
tai number of the insurgents, including
the 1000 volunteers, he estimates at
5000.
Mr.. Mattel recommends that the cam
paign in Porto Rico should not be I'M
dertaken with the bombardment of san
Juan by the warships as the first move
ment. He thinks the troops should be
landed at another port and Immediately
sent into the hill country back of San
Juan. There they will find quarters IN
the great coffee-drying houses and a
climate as healthful as could be de-
sired. The city of San Juan itself is
fever hole every day in the year, but
the other portions of the island are free
from fever, and the climate conditions
are saIubrious. The capture of San
Juan, he thinks, should be effected from
the land side. The defenseS are poor in
this direction, and the place could be
taken after a siege and blockade of the
port by the navy. On the ocean side
the fOrtifcationS include four modern
1Ong-range cannon.

Texts of the Papers Read at a Recent
Meeting.
At the meeting of the Biological Society
last Saturday evening Mr.. o. p. Hay de-
scribed the bones of a great fish, probably
twelve feet long, which had lived in ere
taceous times. The parts described were
much more perfect than those had by Prof.
Cope when he gave the name Portheus to
the fish. The shoulder girdle was particu-
larry SO, and in it Mr.. Hay was able to
recognize parts to be compared with the
precoracoid and coraccid bones and scapala
of other animals. The paper was discussed
by DR.. Gill, who thought the alleged cora
cold and precoracoid We're not sucR and
that in fishes the whole framework, given
these names, and the. scapula are really
nothing more than the scapula to be COM
pared with the human shoulder blade.
MIR. W. H. Osgood gave very interest
ing account, illustrated with lantern views
of the rocky Farallon Islands, located
about twenty-seven miles out from San
Francisco. On these granite rocks no one
lives but the lightkeeper, his assistants
and their families. There is little no
vegetation except that fosmed by the
Farallon weed, which scarcely forms suf-
ficient food for a few Australian rabbits
which We're introduced there some time ago
by some one woo expected to realize, finan-
cially, from their introduction, but who
most signally failed. There are snakes
there. Occasionally a sea lion Is seen.
The islands are most important the
nesting place of large numbers of sea guls
which furnish eggs for the lightkeepers
and numerous collectors.
Mr.. VIM. Palmer gave g. critical review
of several papers, the authors Of which
claimed that the change In the celebration
of bird plunaee is produced by moulting
and a new growth of feathers, which is
brought about by change in the pigmenta
ton of the feather while still connected
with the boGy. He himself was inclined
to believe that the change is produced
wholly by moulting.
