An Ancient Pedigree.

The "tuatera lizard" is said to be
perhaps the most remarkable animal
now living in New Zealand, and the
oldest existing type of reptile" So
deeply are naturalists interested in this
curious species of animal, which seems
to be as closely related to turtles as
to lizards, that legislative protection
has been secured for it. Unfortunately
the eggs of the creature appear not
to be covered by the protective act, and
Nature expresses qualification that on
ly one man, Mr.. Henaghan, who can
be trusted, knows where to look for
the precious eggs. Before they are all
destroyed it is hoped that the biolo-
gists will have an opportunity to deter
mine how the strange animal is devel-
oped, and whether it is more lizard
than a turtle, or more turtle than a
lizard.

Queer Condolences.

There is a little world in which we
live and the people most certain of this
are those who have experienced
strange condolences which seem al
most impossible. The New York Tel
egraph relates some cases which are
authentic. Harry Bradshaw, executive
librarian of the Cambridge university
library. had a strange adventure in the
Paris library. A book had been lost
for nearly century, and Mr.. Bradshaw
went over to see If he could discover
it. Search was fruitless, though there
was strong presumption as to the
part Of the library where it would be
found. He stood one day in one of
the recesses of the library, describing
its probable appearance to the libra
rian, about the height, thickness and
similar binding to this said be, TAX
ing book out of the shelves.
1t was the missing book.
The stories of strange condolences
in the matter of the recovery of lost
property are legion. Two years ago a
lady staying at Long Branch lost a
gold ring while bathing. A reward was
offered and all the boys of the place
raked the whole shore up in search of
1t. But it was never found. The
next year the lady was at Long Branch
again, and while reading on the shore,
never looking for the ring or thinking
of it, she turned 1t up accidentally
with her parasol.
A woman out bicycling lost jeweled
scarfpin, which she much valued. She
did not miss it till the end of her jour-
ney, and as she had ridden 20 miles
the prospect of finding 1t seemed small.
She, however, gave notice of her loss
to the police. On her return journey,
when about mile from home, she
punctured the tire of her machine, and
on dismounting to discover the cause
found the pin sticking in the tire.

Grow Most Mt Night.

1t is a curious fact that night is the
time which nature utilizes for growth.
Plants grow much more in the night
than in the daytime, as can be proved
any time by measurement.
Measure a vine at night, then meas
ure it again in the morning and the
next night. and it will be found that
the night growth is two or three times
that accomplished during the day.
During the day the plant is very
busy gathering nourishment from va
rious sources, and during the night this
raw material is assimilated into the
plant life.
The same fact is true of the animal
creation. Children grow more rapidly
during the night.
In the day time, while the child Is
awake and active. the system is kept
busy disposing of the W 1tes conse-
quent on this activity; but during sleep
the system is free to extend its opera
tions beyond the mere replacing OF
worn-out particles hence the rapid
growth.

Meaning of the Ghost Dance.

III one of the recently published wi
umes of the Smithsonian Institution
Mr.. James Mooney explains that the
underlying principle of the Sioux
ghost dance is the doctrine that at
some time the whole Indian race, liv-
ing or dead, will be reunited in life
upon this earth, untroubled by death,
hunger or disease. The object of the
dancers is to fall into kind of trance,
in which they can see and converse
with their dead relatives. The medi-
cine man plays the part of a mesmer-
list, keeping the sun full in the face of
the dancers, making passes before their
eyes, and twirling sticks and feathers
until they become entranced. Such
warlike outbreaks as that of 1890 in
the United States are due to the at
tempts of ambitious chiefs or medicine
men to anticipate the Indian millen-
mum through the humiliation of the
white man.

A Royal Love Letter.

Sir Benjamin Stone, NJ. p, was al
lowed last year to photograph in the
Vatican number of MSS. relating to
Great Britain and going back hundreds
of years. Some of them have never
been in print. One. we are told, which
excited deep interest, was a letter of
Henry VIII. to his dear Anne Boleyn."
1t was quite in the style of lover
'sighing like a furnace" The anxious
monarch writes:
THE approach of the time, which l
have so long expected, rejoices me so
much that 1t seems almost already
come. However, the entire accomplish
ment cannot be until two persons
than anything else in the world. For
what joy can be greater upon earth
than to have the company of her who
is my dearest friend, knowing like
wise that she does the same on her
part?-the thinking on which gives me
pleasure. You may judge what effect
the presence of that person must have
on me whose absence has made a
greater wound in my heart than either
words or writing can express, and
which nothing can cure but her re-
turn"
At the foot of this scroll is the figure
of heart, inserted amid the words.

Famous Laughing Plant OF Arabia.

The seeds of the laughing plant of
Arabia produce the same effect upon
persons as laughing gas. The plant
attains n height of from two to four
feet, with woody stems, widespread
ing branches and bright green foliage.
Its fruits are produced in clusters and
are of a yellow color. The seed-pods
are soft any woolly in texture, and
contain two or three black seeds of the
size of n Brazilian bean. Their flavor
Is n little like opium, and their taste
is sweet; the odor from them produces
sickening sensation and Is slightly
offensive. The seeds, when pulverized
and taken In small quantities. have n
peculiar effect upon man. he begins
to laugh loudly, boisterously, then he

fantastic capers. Such extravaganza

-Four Famous Statues.

The most famous statues in history
are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx
and the vocal statue of Memnon at
Thebes, and of these the last is the
most remarkable, in consequence of its
property of emitting sounds when its
lips were touched by the rays of the
rising sun SO that it seemed to greet
portrait model of King Amenophis Ill,
and was one of pair of statues bs-
tween sixty and seventy feet high,
carved out of single blocks of sand
stone and transported from the quar-
ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx
was carved from the living rock in the
place where it now stands.
OF statues not so well known the
most remarkable is that of Buddha at
Nara, near Kioto, in Japan, which was
erected A. d. HOO. 1t is made of
bronze, and is fifty-three feet six
inches high and more than twenty
eight feet broad across the shoulders
On it's head are 966 curls, and the i'm
age is surrounded by a glory or halo
seventy-eight feet in diameter, on
which sixteen images eight feet long
are cast Two smaller images, each
twenty five feet high, stand in front of
the larger one. The total weight of
metal in the main figure is about 450
tons, of which 500 pounds consist of
gold.

Atmospheric Changes rorstold by a Stone

In Finland, a species of stone, known
as "semakuir," actually foretells the
probable changes in the weather. In
dry, fine weather the stone is of dark
gray color mottled with white spots,
but before approaching showers of
thick mists it blackens all over-most
conspicuously, of course, at the spaces
which were previously white-and
gradually returns again to its former
state as the weather improves. Its
prophetic warnings are regarded by
many as having superstitious origin
but a recent analysis of the stone ex-
plains the cause and shows that there
is nothing whatever mysterious in its
action. 1t is composed of a ground
mass of clay and fossilized organic
matter, with a little rock salt and nj
ter scattered throughout in grains and
small patches. These salts absorb the
aerial moisture as it increases in
amount, and dissolve in it, forming
black surface films, while they regain
their white color as the drier atmos-
phere evaporates the moisture from
them. The cast-off shell of a species
of crab in Chilli answers the same pur-
pose, being extremely sensitive to at
uonpheric changes. 1t remains quite

Islnnd Is y Magnet.

In the Baltic the Danish island Born-
holm, which is situated about twenty
four miles, east by south. from the
nearest point of Sweden, may be re-
garded as a huge magnet. Although
the power of this magnetic island is
not so great that 1t can draw the nails
out of ships, as was told cf the legend
airy magnetic hills, the magnetism OF
the rocks on tee island OF Bornholm
can and does cause good deal of trou-
BILE to ships IN quite another way, for
the island exerts such an influence OH
the magnetic needle that it causes a
vessel to turn perceptible aside from
its course. The effect of the island
magnetism is felt at distance of about
nine and a half miles. On the island
of Gamma Zone of the Argyllshire Heb
rldes), situate about three miles north
west of Rum, there is hill which has
magnetic power sufficiently strong to
affect the compasses of vessels passing
near it. The island is mile in breadth
by four and half miles in length.

RULES FOR TRAINMEN.
All Railroads viii Now Conform to One
System.

System.
Tho American Railway Association
meeting at Detroit has just adopted a
standard code OF train rules. This action
has only been reached after several years
of labor of special committee of the
association appointed to deal with this
question. From operating standpoint
tho final adoption of uniform rules is one
of the most important results which the
association has ever brought about
For many years the railways have suf-
fered serious Inconvenience on account OF
tho different train rules in operation on
various roads. In some instances signals
and rules governing the right of way of
trains on one road have been diametrt-
cally opposed to those on another road
in the same territory. In the case of engi-
neers. firemen and conductors entering
the service of another company valuable
time has been lost in instructing them
in the operating rules of the new road.
Moro than one accident, too, has resulted
from new engineer confusing the read
ing of the signals with that on the road
he has just left.
Uniform standard rules have been in
operation for some time on the majority
of roads in the United States. and now
that the American railway Association
has finally approved code 1t will prob
g. bly, be put in effect on the roads which
10 far have maintained their individual
methods.

At Twilight.

Like some bright mounting flame our life
New-kindled. springs and sparkles,
Now scars defiance to the sun,
Now glooms and darkles;
Here from the ruby-hearted glow
Sweet influence round 1t shedding
Here from half-quenched sullen brand
Dull shadow spreading.
And gathered in Its blither blaze
What gay friends hapy cluster.
Warmed deeply with the rosy ray
And lghtsome lustrel
Full soon the cheerful guests are gone
In slow departing number,
Close-curtained from the murmuring
world
Each to his slumber.
And down on the deserted hearth,
In dying, fitful flashes.
The lonely fire has dropped and sunk
And fallen in ashes;
Yet part of that immortal flame
Which, far in deeps of even,
Informs the white and sacred stars
And dazzles heaven!

SOUTHERN UTE RESERVATION
Indian Lands in Colorado opened to
Settlers.

Indian Lands in Colorado Opened to
The opening of the Southern Ute
Indian Reservation has at last been
accomplished. This vast area of arabic
lands, fifteen by sixty miles in extent,
lies on either side of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, South and East of
Durango. Under the law, the Ute In
dams are entitled to 374 allotments,
leaving about 636,000 acres subject to
entry under the desert homestead, tim
ber and townsite laws and the laws
governing the disposal of coal, min
eral, stone and timber lands. and as
the Indians may lease their allotments,
intelligent white men will soon con-
troll many of them at reasonable rent
ais. The lands embrace both valley
and mesa, or uplands, but the supply
OF water for irrigation is many times
the amount required, making the lands
suitable for grain and grasses, veg
etables, alfalfa and fruit trees. Glover
often yields three and one-half tons
per acre. The stock industry gives
promise of almost Unlimited growth.
The lands allotted to the Indians ag-
gregate 10000 acres and are generally
in compact form. They may be leased
for three years for agricultural pur-
grazing lands. These leased lands are
exempt from taxation and free from
cost OF water charges as the Indians
own the canals and bitches. The rental
is generally a small amount in cash
and from one-third to one-fourth of
the crops. The Indians may be hired
to work at low wages. This money and
the $5O,000 which is to be paid to the
Indians annually by the government
forever" means plenty of the circu-
lating medium in the locality at all
times. Homestead settlers are required
to pay not less than slips per acre.
fifty cents of which, per acre, shall be
paid at the time of filing. This pro-
vision shuts out the professional BOOM
er and invites men of thrift and en-
argy and industry. These will be the
last Of the public domain entries in
Colorado. 1t is the last chance for
cheap. fertile and enviable homes. The
land offices are at Durango, Colo, the
terminus of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad. The traveller from the mid
die West should take the Missouri Pa
cific System to Pueblo where he will be
taken by the Denver & Rio Grande
which is the only line reaching the
Ute Indian Reservation. It traverses
for 60 miles the most desirable por-
tions of the lands subject to entry.

Looking for "a Hardy Orange Tree.

An orange tree that will grow and bear
fruit far north as st. Louis and Phil
adelphla is promised by the officials of the
Agricultural Department. The destruc-
ton of orange crops and groves In recent
years through frosts in northern Florida
directed the attention of Secretary Will
son to a serach for some measure OF relief
for the owners who have been suffering
financial loss. He has been superintend-
ing the crossing of the Florida orange and
the Japanese trifoliate. hardy variety
of fruit, and now has several thousand of
the hybrid plants, which will be set out
during the present spring. The experts
believe that the new orange will survive
frost and a moderate amount of cold, and
are confident that the experiment will ro-
suit in producing trees in which the eN-
cellency of the Florida orange will be
combined with the hardness of the jap
anese plant. If the experiment succeeds
the department will materially assist in
revivtng the orange industry. not only in
Florida but in other southern states, and
will at the same time assure the orange
eaters of an unfailing supply.
