FOSSIL TYPES.
A Fresh-Water Lake In Africa Which
Contains Interesting In
hnbitants.

An expedition is being sent from Eng
land to study Lake Tanganyika's mu-
scum of ancient types of animal life,
says the Baltimore Sun. 1t is fresh
water lake which is supposed to have
once connected with the ocean. It has
the ordinary lake fauna, but it has also
large number OF animals of an essen
Tally marine character-fish, mollusks.
-2"dusne and spongeS whose structure
Proclaims their relation to oceanic
forms. What is still more curious is
the fact that its living inhabitants are
more closely allied to marine fossils Of
4 remote geologic period than to their
congeners now living in the ocean.
fanganyika has the ancestral types,
while those now in the ocean are modi-
fed forms.
1T is inferred that the lake was cut off
from the sea at time when the forms
now fossil in Europe existed in the
ocean at large and that these forms
have been able to adapt themselves to
fresh water. Ten years ago jellyfish,
like those of the sea was found in Tan
yar"ika, and since then numerous
shellfish and sponges belonging to the
sea have been found there.
This reads like q scientific fairy tale
and excites great deal of interest. The
outgoing expedition will examine Lakes
kivu and Albert Edward, as well as
Ianganyika, and hope to find facts
tending to solve the puzzle. a

PLASTER CASTS.
With Them Hot Water Is Used First
to Reduce the Inhammnt ton
In SprnIns.

"Plaster casts are now entirely re-
lied upon in sprains as far as the limbs
are concerned" explained well-known
surgeon to a Washington Star reporter,
"as we'll as in the treatment of frac-
lures. And beyond the cast there is no
further treatment necessary. The cast
should, however, not be put ION until
the Inflammation in consequence of the
injury las disappeared. TO reduce the
inflammation continuous application of
hot water is found to be the NEST etfica-
cious remedy. When once the inflam-
nation has gone down an antiseptic
bandage should be put on the injured
part, and on this the plaster, bandages
and splints. This incases the hand, arm,
foot or leg in a plaster boot, which keeps
its place and keeps the injured part in
tact. The old-time idea that sprains
should be treated with embrocatious
and liniments, which hung on for so
long, has about disappeared in the mod
ern method of treatment, and expert
ence has shown that q cast is n much
safer way of treating a sprain than by
rubbing it with 'liniments 1t is, be-
sides, much more rapid way of re-
storing the functions Of the injured
part. The cast should be kept on as
long as possible-at least a week ,In-
der all circumstances, and in cases of
n sPrained foot, ankle or leg for ten
days longer. In cases of injury caused
by sprain of the ankle or foot the plas-
ter cast should under no circumstances
be removed in less than week. for the
greateSt care is required in their treat
ment, otherwise the injury becomes
permanent"

No Lons-DIstance wooer.

Rudyard Kipling's maternal grand
father was Rev. George L. Macdonald.
1t is related of him that in the days
when ne was courting the lady whom
he afterwards married the father-in-
law-to-be-an aged Methodist, with ex-
tremely strict notions in regard to the
proprieties-wa iniudicious enough on
one occasion to enter the parlor with
out giving any warning of his approach.
The consequence was that he found
the swecthearts occupying n single
chair. Deeply shocked by the spec
tacle, the old man solcmnly said: "Mr.
Macdonald, when ] was counting Mrs.
Brown she sat on one side Of the room
and I on the other" Macdonald's re-
ply was: THAT'S what / should have
done had I been courting Mrs. Brown"

To one interested in the future of

During the last four months over thirty

ones are started every few days. the

only retarding feature.
