Four Ugly Beasts.

There are four beasts in the world
that can give long odds in the way Of
ugliness to anything else that lives.
One of them is a monkey, a grewsome
looking beast called the bearded saki.
This Is so utterly grotesque beast that
1t would scarcely be safe to let a child
or nervous person see it. The ugliness
Is not of an amusing kind, Int Of an
evil sinister nature The beast has Q
sort of beard and a countenance unlike
anything else in shape and lines. The
monkey itself is not particularly saw
age. but is so hideous that the natives
of its country, South America, say that
no beast of prey, however hungry, will
tackle it. Even a hungry jaguar would
starve in cageful of sakis.'
Then there is tree climbing beast
that is as queer nondescript as one
could hope to see. 1t has sharp face
and long, jointed fingers and is called
the aye-aye, from its cry. This looks
like one of the most appallingly weird
Of all those strange beasts one sees in
Nightmares and cannot get away from;
but, like the sakis, is of gentle dispo-
sition. 1t lives in South Africa. A full
grown aye-aye looks like a blend Of
jackal, pig and monkey. Then there is
the Tasmanian devil of the antipodes,
which is as savage as it is ugly, and,
lastly, species of Asiatic ground rat
called the bund

How Banks Use Their Millions.

Many people wonder how banks use
all the money deposited in them and
how they miA,ge to pay interest there
on and yet come out at the end Of the
year with big profit ON the business.
What they do is trade with the mon
ey. To the depositor they pay between
and per cent, but the money they
lend brings them in 3. s, 6, 7 and even
per cent.
For instance, they give loans on all
sorts of securities, such as railway
debentures, government stock, public
company shares, dock warrants, bills Of
lading, etc.
They also lend money on the security
of houses and land but not to great
extent, as repayments are slow.
When couple of substantial business
men or farmers or professional men
back a bill, the bank often lends with
out any security at all, but now and
again they have heavy and ruinous
losses on these loans
All banks. however, have large sums
Of money constantly lying idle. for they
must keep sufficient cash at the various
branches to pay checks and even to be
more or less prepared for panics. Still,
the difference between the 1 or per
cent they pay and the 3 to 8 they re-
ceive on millions of dollars leaves them
an immense profit on the years bust

File cutting and glass polishing are
the two trades in which, the operatives
are constantly subjectedtto the slow and
stealthy growth of industrial disease.
The danger in their case is even more
alarming than in those.wlnch have been
previously dealt with, as the power
which daily menace4 them is that most
pernicious and tredChemus evil, lead
poisoning. In the case of file cutters
the mischief is contained in the bed
upon which the file is placed for cut
ting. This is composed of metalliclead.
for although other substances have
been tried, it is declared that none Of
them give the desired amount of re-
sistance without residence obtained by
a lead bed.
Glass polishing is dangerous in that
the powder with which the edges Of cut
glass are treated contains 60 to 70 per
cent of oxide of lead. Here. again, the
same remedies are demanded, and for
tunately they are not SO difficult of at
tainment. In both these cases the poison
pursues its victims with malice as re-
lentless as it isappalhng, which kills or

Chinese foreign Office in it's refusal to

The concession asked for would ruin

The Russian demand was made on be-

reached between Great Britain and
Russia regarding spheres of influence
in China.
Replying to this application, the tsung

railway concessions until the lines al
ready proposed were in working order.
why China Refused.
1t says it refused on this ground to
grant to British syndicate a conces

The Chinese are greatly alarmed over
this latest Russian demand, realizing
