SEA ANIMALS IN FRESH WATERS.
Remarkable Discoveries Made i'm the
Lakes of Three COnteinents.
From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
In the summer of 1896 Mr.. A. p. Low OF
the Canadian geological survey. made a
journey through the central regions of
Labrador and revealed a large extent of
new country. He Travelled north for 500
miles, using the little rivers for his canoe
when possible and crossing many portages
He finally came to a lake fifty miles long
aud from half mile to five miles wide.
The lake stands 800 feet above the sea
and is about 100 miles from IL. The ex-
plorer's surprise was very great when he
discovered in this lake a large number of
seals which appeared to be the common
harbor seals or a closely allied species.
In other words, he found sea animals in
fresh water lake far from the sea and
high above it. He learned that these ami
mails are breeding rapidly in their fresh
water habitat and that some of them are
Killed every year by the Indians. Salt
Lake is the name he gave it,
His conclusions as to how the seals
came to be In the lake Is doubtless cor
rect. He found evidence all around that
this part of the region that was submerg-
ed by the sea in the Champlan or late
glacial epoch. At that time the lake was
undoubtedly connected with the sea and
when the land began to rise again, Mr.
Low says, the seals, having found the
lake fun of fish. lost their inclination to
return to the sea-" So there they are liy-
ing to-day fully adapted to their new con-
ditions of life.
Similar instances that are still more re.
markable have been found in recent years.
In the great Siberian lake. BeilSar which
is 1850 feet above the sea and hundreds OF
miles from 1t, are numerous seals and a
number OF species of marine crustaceans.
Ot course, they never originated In fresh
water, and the only explanation is that
they came into the lake at the time when
nearly the whole of Siberia was below sea
level The depression filled by the lake
is OF enormous depth The bottom in some
parts is three-fourths of a mile below the
surface, and in these depths the sea ami
mails continue to live and thrive. They
are undistinguishable from the phoca foe
tida or Spitzenbergen waters, and the
people i'm the neighborhood eagerly hunt
the animals for their skins, which are sold
at large profit to Chinese traders
while ago an English naturalist nam
ed Gunther declared that he had found a
number of marine animals In the waters
OF the Central African lake, Tanganyika.
about 800 miles from the sea. II has since
been found that his report was correct.

species of mollusks prawns and protozoa

SAYS MoLINEUx SENT 1T.
Cornish Now Declares the Poison
Came From Him. ~

came From Him.
New York, Feb. 2S.-Harry Cornish, on
the witness stand at the Adams inquest
to-day, accused Roland b. Mollneux of
having sent him the poisoned bromo-selt-
ger.
Ever since Cornish first testified In the
case he had been asking to be recalled,
claiming that when on the stand at the
opening of the inquest he had not finished
giving his testimony, and since then
many statements have been made by 9TH
er witnesses which seemingly contradict
what he had sworn to.
The court room was crowded, but Cor
nish's statements did not create much of
sensation. His story was that he
thought Molineux had sent him the poison
because he was the only man who had
shown great enmity toward him; that he
had lied about him and prosecuted him;
that he had lied about others in the club;
that there was enmity between barnet and
Moiineux, and that Molineux had started
stories about members of the Knicker-
booker Club.
Witness stated that Molineux, being in
a rival club, was jealous of him. He de-
clared that the coroner must search the
athletic clubs of New York city for the
murderer of Mrs. Adams. He suspected
Mollneux of having sent Kutnow powders
to Barnet.
He testified that Mrs. Molineux's state
ment that she had never been In Barnet s
room alone was false. He knew person
who had seen Mrs. Moilneux and Barnet
drinking wine In the latter's room when
no other person was present.
Witness stated that Molineux was his
bitter enemy and the only man he knew
Of who could have motive for wishing to
take his life.
Cornish ives very earnest in testfyipg,
and contradicted much that he said wAen
he was first examined by the coroner.
Cornish was asked several times to give
the names Of men who had told the stories
that he repeated about Molineux He said
he could not remember them all, but that
he had no doubt these men would come
forward and substantiate his story as soon
as they heard he had told it. He talked
rapidly and at times the jury could hardly
follow him.
The other testimony given to-day was
without special features.

RAT is FOND OF TELEGRAPHY.
Buffalo Rodent Fascinated by the
Tick of the sounder.
From the Chicago Tribune.

ADth NbI NltSdEO ltfDnDe.
Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 11.-There Is an east
side rat which ought TO be sent to a scien-
tifc school. II used to be an ordinary
gutter rat, and was not by any means A
dainty creature when 1t took to police sta
ton life. But no sooner had 1t taken up
It's quarters an Seneca street police station
than il sIlcked up and began to learn teleg-
raphy. Kinney, deck sergeant, was not
pleased when he first noticed the rat was
fascinated by the tick OF the instrument
and was about to fling a shoe at IL when
he saw 1t stealing up toward him.
Then he noticed that It would never come
out from the wall unless the ticking was
going ON, and IL would dive into its hole
like a shot IL the instrument happened to
stop for moment. When all was quiet
behind the desk the rat seldom showed
himself, but let there be lot of business
TO send off and It would be certain to stick
Its head out of some hole In the wall. 1t
seemed to be fascinated as some animals
are by fire or a man by snake.
One night the sergeant had been out OF
the room, and, hearing the instrument be-
gin to rattle, he returned to take care of
it. There he found this rat standing close
up to II in sort Of daze. just as though
1t was listening TO the most ravishing mu-
sic. IL would scarcely move a muscle, and
appeared to bs entirely off its guard, and
might have been captured by person or
a dog without knowing anything about 1t
TIL the charm was broken.
The sergeant stood still till the instru-
meat stopped and then he saw the rat
put lis paws ON the key and try 20 set II
going again. He declares that IL man
aged to send a call to one of the other
stations so nearly correct that the opera
tor there answered It. IL was still Jump
ing up and down on the key when the pre-
cinct captain came In and frightened Il
away. Since that time a chance has not
been given to II to go on with its exami-
nation of the instrument, but no sooner
does 1t begin to tick than the rat can be
seen somewhere about the room listening
and coming as near the desk as II dares.
