The Danger from tho Importation Of
Anlmala

An abstract Of J S. Palmers essay
on "Ihe Danger Of Introducing Nox-
ious Animals and Birds" appears in
Our Animal Friends. There are sew
eral societies in this country for the
express purpose Of purchasing and inn
porting European birds. One society
In Cincinnati has contributed $4,000
to this object, and other cities have
raised considerable sums. Our con-
temporary thinks it would be we'll
that all such experiments should be
made under the sanction of govern
ment experts Of the department Of ag-
riculture. In addition to voluntary
importations it often happens that
animals are unintentionally brought
into the country, as trading vessels
have carried the European house
mouse all over the globe, and the in
production Of rabbits into Australia
is perhaps the most striking example
Of the dangers Of unconsidered inn
portations. They we're introduced for
purposes Of sport, and were liberated
near Melbourne in 1854. Within IL
years they had spread over the coun-
try and became a veritable plague, and
millions Of dollars have been spent
for bounties, poisons and other meth
DDS Of destruction. Thousands Of
miles Of rabbit-proof fences have been
built, and in 1887 no less than 49,
1889 rabbits we're destroyed in
New South Wales alone, and the rab-
bits seem to be on the increase. The
little Indian mongoose was imported
into Jamaica to cope with plague Of
rats and proved most effective, but
after it had destroyed the rats it
turned its attention to the domestic
animals and poultry, so that the is
landers would now be glad If they
could get rid Of the pests. Such are
a few examples of the danger of dis
turbing natures balance.

when Horses Go to sleep

II is not generally known that at
least four out Of every ten horses do
not lie down TO sleep The horse that
sleeps in a standing position rests one
leg at a time, depending on the other
three to sustain the weight of his
body. This habit isa very dangerous
one. Only short time since fine
horse in the stables Of a big mapufac-
turing concern went to sleep while
standing in his stall and fell heavily
to the floor, breaking one Of his legs.
A great many horses are permanently
injured as a result Of accidents Of this
nature, and there is no way Of curing
them Of the habit,

THE WORM AT WORK.

like in appearance. However, there is
also teredo glgantea, OF giant teredo,
which is found buried in the mud at
Sumatra, and is from four to six feet
in length and from three to four inches
in diameter.
The teredo inhabits long cylindrical
hole which it excavates In the wood, and
it usually occurs in great numbers, so
crowded together that often only a
thin film remains between the adjacent
burrows. One burrow, however, is never
found TO break into another. 1t bores
into the wood, incasing the tunnel with
calcareous or limy substance, and
usually, though net invariably, drives
the burrow in the direction Of the grain
of the wood. When knot or nail or the
tube of neighbor is reached the course
of the burrow is altered so as to bend
round the obstruction. 1t is a much
discussed question among scientific
men as to just how the teredo does its
boring; but the exact method is still
under disputation.
The teredo grows as it burrows, and
does both at an extremely rapid rate.
The young, which are at first free swim
mers and pass through several changes
before coming to the adult form, are
usually born during the spring or sum
mer, and before the end of the year
they, too, have grown up and are es-
tablished in homes of their own.
Many things have been done to guard
against the teredo. Palmetto wood is
the most successful resistant, and this
has been used; also common woods
treated with various preparations have
been tried, but with small success. The
most efficient protection is afforded by
large-headed nails driven into the
wood in close proximity.

lfsaid Baronne street business man,
"may be seen at a big machine shop
out on Bayou st. John. A few weeks
ago the engineer caught a good-sized
coon-I mean a coon Of the four
legged variety prowling about the
loft. How the beast got there no
body knows, and at first he showed
fight and plenty of it. However, the
engineer is one Of those men who
seem to have a mysterious natural
power over wild animals, and in a few
days his prisoner was eating out of his
hand, coming at his call, and going
around loose as tame as a dog. That
would be sufficiently wonderful of
itself, but it was nothing to the friend
ship that soon developed between the
newcomer and Tom, the pet cat Of the
establishment. Tom is a monster
black and white feline, and such a tai
ented scrapper that he has frequently
licked full-grown dogs. The first
time he met the coon there was royal
battle, which impartial spectators de-
clare was draw. At any rate it must
have given the pair a mutual respect
for one another, for they Immediately
agreed to protocol, and have entered
into full treaty Of peace, including
an offensive and defensive alliance
against all other cats or coons found
on the premises. At present they
sleep curled up in one furry ball eat

THE TERRIBLE rEREDo.
a nusy Little Insect THAT Can De-
stroy Big wooden ship ia 81
Very shori Time.

At the Museum of Natural History,
in Broadway, n. ". there Is a cross
section Of pile which has been com
pletely honeycombed by the much
dreaded ieredo, or shipworm. When
you 60 there be sure to look at IL, for
IL is ana excellent example Of just what
the shipworm can accomplish In its
work of destruction The accompany
ing illustration also gives q good idea
of the teredo and its work.
The teredo is one of the worst little
pests in the ocean. IT attacks floating
drift and is carried all over the world;
it burrows into ships timbers. into
piles and harbor woodwork, and into
other timbers immersed in the sea, and
completely honeycombs them. OF
course the iron ships built now have
nothing TO fear from its attacks. and
the upper sheathing, now almost uni
yersally used, protects wooden hulls;
but a great deal of loss still results
from the inroads OF the teredo on har-
Dor works and shipping stages. The
docks at Tortugas Fla, were rendered
unsafe in ~ months, and there are
other instances where great timbers
that appeared perfectly safe and solid
were in short time so eaten out that
they could be crushed by blow from
the hand. The destruction the worm
works is incredible. In 1893 it was
found that the vast system of wooden
dykes that protected Holland from the
sea had been attacked by the teredo,
and that the whole country was threat
ened with inundation. From these eN-
amples it can be seen what a dreaded
little animal il is.
The adult teredo. when removed from
its burrow, varies from few inches to
three feet in length, according to the
species, and is cylindrical and worm

ana STATESMEN.
Palmists say curious thing about
the hands Of actors and actresses is
that in 80 per cent. Of them the head
line-which runs across the)hand hor-
izontally--is separated at the begin
ming from the life line. The reverse
is found in the hands of scientists,
doctors and the like. The head and
life lines are always Joined in their
palms. A player with these lines
closed would be more scientific and
calculating, but with them open is
self-confdent, daring and dramatic.
Among literary people the head and
life lines are always joined for quite a,
way into the palm. In the hands of
Bernhard, Melba and Calve the pc
cularity of the separated head and
life lines is noticeable.
In the hand of Sir Redvers Butler,
now in Africa, the life line passes the
head line and ascends straight toward.

be found in the hand of Joseph Cham

feet of Adding Salt

Others who desire horseradish. Usual
ly such folk regard the strongest
horseradish as the best, but an ezpe-

should the strong horseradish be con
sidered good?" says he. 'It brings
tears to your eyes and lifts the top
Of your head off and makes you want

REFORM IN MANILA.
Philippine Commission Starts in to
ReguIate the saloons.

Regulate the Saloons.
MANILA, Dec. 5-The hall occupied by
the United States commission was
crowded today, the occasion being the
public discussion of the Manila liquor Ii
cense bill. The section providing for
Danish ng saloons from the Escolta and
downtown plazas was strongly criti-
cized. Judge Taft explained that the
United States courts had settled the
right of the police and the power to
limit the sale of liquors, and yet the
places where they were sold were I'M
limited. He declared that the condition
of the Escolta, owing to the presence Of
saloons, was disgraceful The judge adj
mitted that it was hardship to some,
but he denied that injustice was being
done. The licenses expire in January,
and the section of the bill requiring re-
movals will take effect in April.
The bill provides for a license Of eco
pesos, se1ni-annualy, for a regular sa-
loon; 800 for a theater, and 500 for a
hotel, besides a bar license None of
these will be allowed to sell native in
toxicants. Places are licensed separate
ly for the latter. They are prohibited
from selling to negroes, and Sunday
closings are required. Hotels may serve
liquors with meals. Licenses are I'M
posed upon distillers, brewers and whole
sale dealers.
The commission has passed an act re-
Quiring wholesome food supplies for an
imals used in transportation and impos-
ing penalties for cruelty to animals
