Shooting Emus.

The Australian emu is described as
a yellowish brown bird, seven feet in
height, with wings so rudimentary
that it makes no use of them for fight.
1t is so swift of foot, however, that
only the very feetest horse can over
take it. Like the ostrich, the emu
feeds upon whatever comes under its
beak. Wood, pebbles, scraps of iron,
or anything else that it can swallow,
will answer its purpose, although it
shows marked preference for bread
ar d cooked meat. A french explorer
describes his experience in shooting
one Of these birds. He was accom-
panied by white companion, and by
a native who acted as guide
81 am going to bring them up, " said
our savage companion. "You will
have to shoot while they are on the
run, but take your time and aim well.
They won't get off this time"
So saying he began to whistle as if
he were calling dog.
The emus lifted their heads, listened
for an instant, then started to run. 1t
is strange that this was not to get
away, but rather to circle about us
without stopping, all the time narrow
ing the circle 80 as gradually to APP
proach us.
When they were not more than forty
yards distant, still running with in
credible swiftness, we brought them
into line and fred. One fell with a
bullet in his heart The others fed,
all the time in single file, and present.
ly they disappeared
In reply to a question, our guide
told us that the emus always acted in
this way whenever they heard whist
ling, and that one can call them by
this means from far away.
''I think. he added, sit is because
they believe their little ones are call
ing them"
As the little emus do not whistle,
this explanation does not seem to me
conclusive. But who will suggest a
better one?

A rare nervous disease is being in
vestigated by the French Academy of
Medicine, to which the present case
has been reported by DIR. Marinesco,
of Bucharest. The patient, a young
Roumanian, is given to what is known
among savants as "mirror-writing."
That is, the letters which he naturally
forms with his pen are all written
backward, so that they appear in their
proper arrangement only when re-
flected in a mirror. The hands of the
patient when unoccupied are affected
with a nervous trembling which gen.
orally ceases when they are used to a
definite purpose. The writing is per.
fectly accurate, and it appears impos-
sible for the sufferer to do any other
kind. Although cases of partial mir.
ror-writing have been observed be.
fore, the present is said to be by far
the most perfect.

1t may be difficult to believe in the
existence of lake of sulphuric acid,
but there is such lake in the centre
of Sulphur Island, off New Zealand,
1t is fifty acres in extent, outtwelve
feet in depth and fifteen feet above
the level of the sea. The most re-
markable Characteristic of this lake,
however, is that the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochloric and
sulphuric acids, kissing and bubbling
at a temperature of 10 degrees
Fahrenheit. The dark green colored
water looks particularly uuinyiting.
Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes con-
stantly roll off this boiling caldron,
and care has to be exercised in ap-
preaching this lake to avoid the risk
of suffocation.

The autopsy held by Coroner's PLY.
siciau Morton ON the body of James
H. Coleman in Philadelphia, revealed
a most peculiar anatomical construc-
ton, so far as the internal organs are
concerned, for they are located on the
opposite side from where they are
situated in other human beings. DIR.
Morton said that it was a most re-
markable case. Coleman's heart is on
the right side, his liver is on the left,
his spleen is on the right, and that
part of his stomach that should be on
the left side is on the right. The
organs thus situated on the reverse
side of where they should be were of
the normal size, the physician said, ex-
cept that the liver was somewhat large.
He was thirty-six years old, of medium
height, married, and the father Of a,
family.
