UNITED STATES REJEcTEDH
German Treaty Settling Samo-
nm QuestiOn.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-The United
States has declined to accept the agree
ment as to the disposition of the Samoan
islands reached by Great Britain and Ger
many. II was possibly the leaking out of
some information to this effect that gave
rise to the report circulated in the Eu-
ropean capitals recently of the develop
ment Of serious hitch in the negotia-
tionS.
As a matter of fact. there is no serious
hitch. and the reasons which influenced
the state department In rejecting the Brit
ish-German arrangement which was sub
mitted for its approval related entirely 10
minor matters touching rather upon the
form than the substance Of the arrange
ment.
Having rejected the tentative treaty sub
mitted by the other two powers, our gov
ernment has. in turn, and at the instance
of the other parties, prepared and sub
mited draft Of 2 treaty which 1t Is
hoped will be acceptable to all three
powers This is now before the foreign Of
fees at London and Berlin for consider
alton, and 1t is confidentially believed here
that it Will receive unanimous approval,
not differing in principle. as already stated.

A PARTING.

.Good-by, then"-and he turned away,
No other word between them spoken;
WI, hardly would have guessed that
day
How close bond was broken.
The quick, short tenor of the hand
That clasped her own in that brief
parting,
ONLY her heart could understand
Who saw the tear-drop starting.
Who felt sudden surge of doubt
Come rushing back unbidden DER
her,
As. at the words, her life without
His presence doomed before her.
The others saw, the others heard
A calm, cool man, a gracious woman,
A quiet, brief farewell unstirred
By aught at all uncommon.
She knew a fatal Gle was cast;
She knew that two paths hence must
sever;
That one familiar step had passed
Out of her life forever.
To all the rest it merely meant
A trivial parting, lightly spoken;
She read the bitter. mute intent,
She knew heart was broken.

AUSTRALIAN LUNG-FISH.
It Cannot Live on Land, But Breathe.
Through Lungs.

It Cannot Live on Land, But Breathe
Through Lungs.
There has recently arrived at the
Geological Gardens in London some
living specimens of the Australian
lung-fsh, a species first discovered il
1869 by Forster and described by
Krefft.
The lung-f1sh has teeth similar to
certain fossil teeth of the triassic strata
in Europe
The body is long and much f1attened
from side to side, and covered with
large cycloid scales; the limbs are
shaped like the blade of paddle or a
trowel, and broadly frnged. The flesh
red, like that of a salmon-is excel
lent eating. and large specimens are
said TO attain a length of six feet and
weight Of about twenty pounds. the
apparent disparity between size and
weight being probably accounted for by
the tapering off of the body behind the
posterior limbs. Their home is in the
Burnett and Mary Rivers; and as they
were in danger of becoming extinct the
Royal Society of Queensland recently
resolved to establish them in new hab-
itats.
The lung-fish in its natural state
eats large quantities of vegetable mat
ter, but this does not appear to be nee
essary to it.
The lung-fish cannot live on the land,
like a true animal, but its lungs are of
a higher type than the gilIs of ordinary
fish, and its heart has three divisions
instead of two.
