SCIENCE GOSSIP.

The average man does not know
there is more than one kind of spar
row. 1t would amaze him to hear that
there are IL kinds. namely, the chip
ping. English, European, house, field,
fox, grasshopper. Henslow, Lincoln,
Savanna. Long, swamp, tree. vesper,
white-crowned. white-throated, and
yellow-winged.
Some of the vast changes which
the face of the earth has undergone
are indicated by the recent discovery
in the small lakes scattered among
the extinct volcanoes OF Auvergne
in France of the survival of certain
forms of marine animals. Salt plains
exist there whose deposits were
formed before volcanic forces up.
beaved the surrounding rocks and ere.
ated mountain peaks and craters.
The oyster at the commencement OF
its career is so small that 1000, ,OOC
would only occupy a square inch. In
six months each individual oyster is
large enough to cover a quarter and
in l2 months half dollar. The oys'
ter is its own architect and the shell
grows as the fish grows inside, being
never too small 1t also bears its age
upon its back, and Ii is very easy to
tell the age of an oyster by looking
at its shell. as that of horses by look
ing at their teeth.
1t has been asserted that insects
are particularly attracted by the col
ors of certain flowers. Felix Plateau
after investigating the conduct OF in
sects in their visits to various flowers
concludes that while they may per
ceive colors and thus be enabled tc
distinguish at distance between
flowers and leaves, yet they show nc
preferences among the different col
ors. Blue, red. yellow, white are in
different to them. He thinks that the
odor of flowers affects insects more
than their colors do.
Fossil oysters have been seen o.
which each shell was nine inche.
thick, whence they may be guessed t.
be more than 900 years old. One mil
lion to two million oysters are pro
duced by a single parent, and theil
scarcity may be accounted for by th'
fact that man is not the only oyster
eating animal The starfish loves th'
oyster and preys upon it increasingly
A variety of whelk is also very font

bores right through the shell and
sucks the fish up through the hol'
thus made.

The Reply of the United States.

After what seems undue delay, but
which may accord with the dignified
mo.ements OF diplomacy, Secretary Hay
responds to the German aud English
agreement relative to China. As he
points out the first two ARTICLES of the
agreement are but echoes of the posi-
ton assumed by the United Ststes from
the beginning. The first insures the
"opsb door" at the ports and on the
rivers and httoral of China, and the
second expressly dIsavows purpose TO
gain territory 10 China by taking ad-
vantage Of the complications caused by
the revolt OF the Boxers. Mr.. Hay the
more readily assents TO this last declar-
alton because the United States have
had no intention of expanding INTO Chi
ness territory.
The third section Of the understand
,ug arrived at by the two governments,
and the one that has caused the most
comment, especially on the continent
reserves to each power the right 10 con-
slider, when occasion arises, the action
they will take for the protection Of their
own interests 10 China should any pow.
or "msks use of the complication 10
China 10 obtain, usdsr any form what
ever, such territorial advantages" BY
common assent this is taken as mean.
ing Russia, whose CONCESSIONS for rail.
way through Manchura and her early
occupation Of that province gave reas
onsble cause 10 suspect that she pur.
posed retaining and annexIng that
province.
To have assented to this third section
would have committed our government
tojoin England and Germany 10 con
sulting and agreeing upon action to pro
tect the interests OF the former, and in
cidentally, our own, IN case Russia tool
the apprehended action. Secretary Hay
very prudently avoids for the presep'
this ENHANCEMENT by assuming that tbs
section relates to affairs 10 which the
two contracting powers only are con
cerned and which, therefore, do not con
csrn this country. Nothing 10 the course
of Russia sinee the revolt gives warrant
to Q suspicion Of purpose to annex Mau
churis, while all expressions OF her gov
srnmsnt have been against it. Should
she, however, justify the apprehension
clearly felt, and 10y her customs taxes
close the doors OF that great and popu
lous province TO the free entry OF th'
products OF other nations, our adhesion
to the first article OF the German
Eagl,sh agreement would bind US Il
joining in the protest which would, un
questionsbly, be made. The satlsfac
tory feature Of the situation as it nov
stands 10 that the three great, progress
i've, kindred peoples Of the world are il

saddle and Sulky-LucilIe's Chances of
Wearing Nancy Hanks Crown-Notes
of Snort

A prominent breeder, speaking about
the bay mare Lucille, 2:09a. by Brum
mel, dam Fannie K, 2:21A, by Major
Benton, driven to her record last sea-
son by Amos Rathbun, the northern
New York trainer, said that Rathbun
would probable get laughed at for pre-
dieting that this smooth daughter OF
Brummel will step faster than The Abb
bot He not only predicts that, but
says she has a chance to get the
worlds record. There are few horse
men who know Rathbun and Lucille
that will not laugh at the Glens Falls
trainers predictions. Lucille prob
ably came to extreme speed form with
less training than has characterized
the career of any other 2:10 trotter.
Last fall at Lexington on the morning
of the day on which Lucille took her
record several horsemen were grouped
near the first turn of the track talk
ing of the merits of the different 2:10
trotters of the season. One of them
put up the assertion that in his opinion
the best prospect was the little mare,
Lucille. in Amos Rathbun's stable.
How fast can she go?' asked a
well-known western trainer.
" I don't know, but she can trot three
heats in 2:10, and do it easy
THE answer caused the other horse
men to laugh long and loud, but later
in the day Lucille won her race, trot-
ting the three heats in 2:10A, 2:09%,
2:1OA. In no heat did the mare trot
to her limit, and in the last heat Rath-
bun was so fearful that she would trot
out of the 2:10 class that he fairly
pulled her off her feet into a break as
she passed under the wire. More than
one good judge predicted then and
there that Lucille could have trotted
any of the three miles in 2:0S or bet
ter. In view of these facts, and in
view of Rathbun's knowledge Of the
mare, it is just possible that his as
sertion regarding her ability to trot as
fast as The Abbot may not be so wild
as those who don't know all about her
are likely to regard it,"

Room-keepers never object to paying

They are probably not the poorest men

room-keepers cannot afford to pay one.

Defends Pigeon Shooting.

The peculiar questions Of cruelty to
animals in general has been raised by
the efforts of the Society for the Pro-
lection Of Animals and the organiza-
ton formed to prevent bull fighting in
France. NJ. Uhrich, the secretary Of
the Societe Protectrice DIES Animaux,
makes distinction between bull fight
ing and pigeon shooting. The birds are
not killed as a spectacle, he says, and
if not dead after being shot they are
Immediately strangled. He reasons,
therefore, that this sport should not
be interfered with. The Velo now re-
plies to M. Uhrich's contentious in a
sarcastic manner. 1t praises him be-
cause he likes pigeon shooting, and
takes occasion to call him a bureau
de sang," for more blood is spilled by
Monte Carlo pigeons than by the bulls
in fights in Spain.
