There is small snail which Is so
fond OF the sea that it never comes
to land, and 1t builds such a capital
boat for itself and its eggs that while
large ships are sinking and steamers
are unable to face the storm 1t tosses

The little snail is of a violet color
and is therefore called Ianthina. 1t

Protect the Honor of the "Has- Beens.'

There are so many candidates being
groomed for the Democratic nomination
of Judge OF the supreme court that one
is compelled to wonder how the Republi-
cans ever carried the state-if all the
candidates have in recent years been
voting and working for the Democratic
ticket.
The party's nomination for this Office
is equivalent to election, and perhaps
this fact is responsible for the over
whelming supply OF high-prvate Demo

horses" "staunch party men, "tried
and true standard bearers" and so forth

worthy representative of the half-million
voters who are Democrats in off years
and as well as in winning years.
The Democratic platform is the SAINT
today as it was in 1896 Why, then
should the delegates allow those has

Never Caught Mapping.

There are several species of fish, rep
tiles and insects which never sleep
during their stay in the world. Among
fish 1t Is now positively known that
pike. salmon and goldfish never sleep
at all. Also that there are several
others Of the fish family that never
sleep more than a few minutes a
month. There are dozens of species of
flies which never indulge in slumber,
and from three to five species OF SER
pents which the naturalists have never
yet been able to catch mapping.

A Wonderful Bird.

Many sailors believe that the frigate
bird can start at daybreak with the
trade winds from the coast OF Africa
and roost the same night upon the
American shore. Whether this Is q
fact or not has yet to be determined
but it is certain that the bird is the
swiftest Of winged creatures and is
able to fly, under favorable conditions,
200 miles an hour.

Tho Useful Ant.

1t Is generally known that any small
dead mammal or bird, when left near
an ant hill. will ultimately be found
picked clean of flesh quickly. It has
been lately demonstrated that they
can be made useful in the direction Of
skeletonizing specimens. Prof. Ber-
nard has been employing ants as his
servants. While in Florida he had a
fox squirrel thus skeletonized in a
single day. The only agents employed

warships in Wax.

By the admiralty's orders perfect
models are made in paraffin wax Of
every new English battleship before it
is laid down, and these models are
tested in tank at Haslar. The mod
els are from IL feet to "a feet long, and
the tank is 400 feet long and 20 feet
wide. The models are made OF wax
because 1t is a material which does not
absorb water or change it's weight, so
alterations can be easily made. Also
the material can be melted up and used
again.

say. Search parties we're despatched

RESTORATION DAY.

To-day is a Hawaiian holiday.
This is the day when Admiral
Thomas lowered the British flag,
hoisted in unrighteousness over Ha-
waii, and restored the lawful gov
ernment of the Hawaiians, and gave
back to them their flag, the EN- blem
OF their independence.

But how the times have changed,
and what a difference in the men
who threw mud at Blount and their
fathers who honored Thomas. 1t is
easy to emphasize the change of
character by remembering words
spoken or written on the two occa-
sions. What the selfish missionary"
clique said about Blount is still fresh
in our minds and needs no repitition.

denounced the Georgian statesman
because Mrs. Blount had been eat
ing their cakes and butter and her
husband nevertheless did what he
considered just and honorable. In

Admiral Thomas became hero in
the eyes Of all decent men, the day
which they remember to-day e. O..

honor of the gallant Admiral who
in the name Of justice and honor
lowered the flag OF Great Britain

The d0ns are aWfully punctilious in regard to form. but seandalousty careless of aB- pearance. A judge who might have seven kinds of fits if he should omit one syllable of Che interminably long harangue delivered at the scene of the judicial murder, would calmly officiate at the same in a condition which to the 0atrained olfaeaofies of the ienor- ant Yankees might savor of the hum- ble animal the dons have declared we resemble.

If it wers not for the peculiarly dendish manner in which the affairs were conducted there is reason to believe that the gar rote Is less inhuman than either the rope or the chair It is the Spanish who have thrown the method into odium.
