Strange Animal on Dsvil'. Island.

Devils island, made famous as the prison of Dreyfus, has strange spe- eies of animal found nowhere else on earth. This odd animal has been called the eoati, and is a peculiar combina. tion of mammiferous, carniyorous plantigrade. It is about the size or ss cat when full grown, with long head shaped like pyramid, tremendous nose. making it the Cyrano of ani- mals. The jaws are long, like those of young alligator, and it uses it's fore paws to carry it's food to its mouth, as monkeys and squirrels do. Henri Loustan, the superintendent of the penitentiary at Guiana, has sent specimen to the Museum of Natural History at Paris, where it is attracting considerable attention.

SCIENTIFIC JoTTiNGs.


 The editor of the American Journal of Pharmacy, remarking upon the im- munity Of certain domestic animals against particular poisons, suggests that medicinal roots, fruits and seeds. being rich in nutritive materials, nav economically be turned to account as food for animals, instead of being thrown away as being of no value after their medicinal constituents have been extracted.
 A letter in Glasgow paper records phenomenon much too unique to be reserved for Scottish consumption. The writer says: "An acquaintance of mine who lives Up north has among others of the feathered tribe little bantam cock. A few weeks ago he noticed that t was looking the worse for slight difference of opinion with canine friend, but did not examine it closely, till his mothers and sisters vocifera- tions brought him in in hurry. There was the bantam picking away at corn, but the corn was dropping from a rent in the birds chest just as fast as it was lifted. Not wanting to kill the bird, my friend get a needle and some horsehair and stitched up the tear, with the result that the bird now is as good as new
 It seems pretty well authenticated that the human voice is capable of starting an avalanche. James Perch ard, clerk of the state Court of Appeals of one of our western states, was min ing some years ago in a mountainous region. The snow had fallen to an un- usual depth and miners moving from one cabin to another were warned to look out for slides. He stopped on one of his trips at the cabin of an aeeuaint- ance and took dinner with him and his wife. At the close of the meal his host urged him to stay awhile, but he felt nervous and started on his journey. Crossing the canyon, he looked back at the cabin where the man and his wife were standing at the door, He waved his hand and shouted good-by Hardly had the echo of his voice died away before a muffied noise struck his cara noise like the boom of can non-and in five seconds the cabin was buried under fifty feet of snow. As sistanee was summoned and finally the two dead bodies were taken out. There Is little question that under certain conditions the vibrations of the human voice will produce an avalanche.

European agriculturists have not yet given up hope of raising Indian corn as food product They have relin- quished their original idea of growing it to compete with other grain in pro- ducing cheap meal for the masses. They want to make it an article of luxury for the wealthy mans table.

Shooting at q. Balloon.

At Meudon, near Paris, a captive
balloon was recently allowed to rise
to height of $50 meters and then
shot at with a Lebel rifle Most of the
shots passed through the lower half
of the balloon, and some pierced the
upper half. The effect on the balloon
was hardly perceptible, as six hours
elapsed before, in very gentle de-
scent, it reached the earth. 1t is cvi-
dent that the light gas did not escape
through the holes made in the lower
part of the balloon and to make holes
effectively in the upper half would re-
quire a gun of greater caliber and fir
ing perhaps shrapnel 1t would not,
however, be an easy matter TO hit with
shot from a large gun, balloon trav-
cling at a considerable distance from

How Two Brave Men Died.

A flying column of British and Amer
lean marines and bluejackets and some
friendly natives had been pushing far
ther and farther inland along the bash
roads, and day after day passed with
out any opposition. We We're beginning
to think that there was no fight IN the
rebels, when suddendly, on April 1st,
our small force was attacked by about
a thousand Mataafa warriors, cleverly
planted in ambush on the German plan
tation of Vailele. The attack came
first from the rear, and almost stimuli
taneouSly came firing all along the left
of the line as we'll as from the front
The Colt automatic gun which the
Americans had with them, and which
was capable of firing $50 rounds min
ute, was brought quickly to bear by
Lieutenant Lansdale, but it suddenly
jammed, and the bullets of the enemy
poured into the column from three
sides, so that our men could find no
shelter even behind the cocoanut trees
with which the plantation is studded.
Several men dropped under the hot fire
of the enemy, and Lieutenant LanS-
dale the executive officer of the Phila-
delphia, had his leg shattered by u
rebel bullet while endeavoring to fix
up the disabled gun. Some of the Off
GERS and men wanted to charge but
that would have been of little avail.
Indeed, a charge would have probably
meant the surrounding of the whole
force. and the cutting off of the only
line of retreat. And so the British and
the Americans fought on shoulder to
shoulder, till it became obvious that
safety lay only in retreat
Lansdale and brave Ensign Mona,
CHAN by some means or other got left
behind. They We're probably lost sight
of in the trees or the long grass of the
plantation. For a time a sailor was
with them, but his ammunition was ex-
hausted, and Lansdale, now badly
wounded asked his comrades to save
themselves. The sailor went, but Mona
CHAN refused to bulge. and continued
to help his superior officer whose leg
was shattered. The rest is soon told.
They found his body next day, not far
from Lansdale's. Both had their heads
cut off. Between the two lay a dead
Mataafa warrior. Two other dead men
lay near, and Lansdale, in addition to
his shattered leg, had now a bullet
through his heart. 1t was easy to read
the story. The brave young ensign,
surrounded by the rebels, fought till
the last, and not till his comrade was
shot dead did he think of retreat. And
l have no manner of doubt that it was
his rifle or revolver that had accounted
for the three dead Samoans who lay
near. The American navy lost two
brave officers, but the American ma,
ton is the richer for story that will
live in history. Ross in Har-
