good, the verdict of the members of
the board was in favor of the Smith
& Gutterson building, all things con-
sldered. One of the main advantages
which claimed attention in these plans
was the matter of floor space, the
pan selected affording more floor than
any OF the others. another advantage
was the assembly hall, or audience
room, which takes up one end of the
basement.

CHARLESTON. ". Va. Jan 26--The
Senate has passed a bill for the disposal
of the unclaimed dead human bodies to
the medical department at the West Yir-
ginia University. bat it remains to pass
the House before it becomes a law. There
was considerable unfayGTabIe comment on
the bill in the House yesterday. The be-
lief is that the House will refuse to pass
the bill.
The Pan-American bill, appropriating
$50 600 for the Buffalo Exposition, was a
bled in the Senate yesterday There IS
a unanimous sentiment that the State
should be represented at this Exposition.
The action of the Senate is only intend
ed TO give time to the members of the

derstand It's provisions
The resolution to Investigate the ate
University is still held up, but the desire

language used in referring to the acts OF
the Democrats when they had control of

pressed themselves willing TO do away

their present occupants expire.
Mr. Jackson stated in a speech that

scented in the House before the expiration
Of the session.
Nr. Anderson (DemocratD followed with
very caustic language The Republicans

him from the hall il he did not quiet
down. He stopped, and the motion to
indefinitely postpone action on the bill

THE GRIP ALONG HORSES.
4 Baltimore Veterinarian Tells How
10 Protect Taein.

~ III.
BALTIMORE Jan 25.-Dr. Robert Ward
says horses and other animals are liable
to influenza or grip, which IS now causing
so much suffering among humanity In an
Interview with q reporter. he said:
The history of the visitations of influ-
enza or grip shows that animals asso-
ciated with man are as prone TO attacks
as man himself It is recorded that out
breaks among horses have been followed
by similar outbreaks among men. and vice
versa. and that the cat and dog are by no
means exempt The disease is no respect
er Of persons or animals, for both those
Of high and low degree are equally liable
TO be attacked by the bacillus or germ
factor Of the disease. which sets up pc
culiar form of Irritation in the upper air
passages. and this often terminates in va
rious complications, giving rise to
classification under three heads, which
are the thoracic form, or that Of the cav
ity of the chest. the abdominal form, or
that OF the digestive organs, and the rheu-
matte form.
The disease usually develops in the
sprinstime and autumn and spreads over
wide areas and may leave an area IN
touched There IS great and general pros
tration from the attack at the onset. with
infammat ton Of the membrane lining the
nOsJriIs and respiratory organs indeed,
the mucous membranes throughout the
body are liable TO be affected.
From the spread of the disease through
q stable it may be considered infectious
and with some truth but il should be
borne in Iind that bad sanitary laws,
overcTowding and bad ventilation do pre-
dispose animals TO be seriously affected
and develop a centre Of Infection =
Therefore preparation to ward off an
attack should begin by strict attention TO
sanitation, washing out the floors. flush
Tag the drains, embarrassing the walls.
securing woodwork, washing windows. and
fumigating the stables in a thorough man
ner with chlorine gas or the fumes Of
burning sulphur.
Feed the horses literally. but at night
give a bran and faxseed meal mash with
two TO four ounces of glaubers salts in II
two or three times week. and in the
drinking water dissolve tablespoonful Of
the sdIphite Of soda in each stable bucket

cURIosITIEs FROM TIE BAY.
Queer Things Brought From the
Bottom OF the ChesapeaiSe.

CHURCH CREEK. Md, Jan. 26.-H. S
kirby. late of the police schooner Julia
Hamilton, tells of most peculiar erusta-
cean specimen found by an FISHERMAN of
Hooper'e Island while II work in the bay
The specimen IS a petrihed crab, of rather
small dimensions. and though taken from
the bottom with oysters in dredge is
practically uninjured. No other record Of
a similar specimen having been found in
the bay is current among oystermen Of
southern Dorchester, and the find is
thought TO be one Of the most peculiar
ever derived from these waters.
Many rare and unique aquatic specimens
frequently find their way into the longs
and dredges Of the oystermen. Another
crab. but this time live one OF ample
dimensions on which were growing at
least half a dozen oysters. was recently
taken near James Island by Capt Walter
Palmer OF the sloop~yacht Annie G.
Both the crab a7d oysters were in
fourishing condition. and as4ther seemed
10 De Inconvenience By the unique rela-
tions existing between them. The crab,
however, enjoys the advantage of periodi-
calIy shedding MS coat and so is enabled
10 relieve himself OF parasites.
The adherence Of oyster spawn 10 any
submerged substance near the spawning
rocks causes the existence OF many pecul-
lar specimens. Bottles. pipes, boots, coins,
and other things innumerable upon which
are growing oysters are frequently taken
and many interesting specimens are
thrown back BY the Oystermen. 70 whom
the sight has ceased 10 be a novelty.
4 rare crust2ceal locally known as sea
spider" which is now in the possession OF
a Marylander. was recently captured upon
the oyster rocks Of Fishing Bay. The
specimen is incased in hard, crab-iike
shell. and though armed with claws and
sharply pointed fms. u legs distinctiVcly
differs in appearance from the crab. re-
sembling more. as the name implies an
enormous garden spider. Formidable
claws and numerous spikes protrudirg
from its round body. combined with mouth
and teeth of animal-Iike appearance. give
the spider an extremely fierce expression.
AS the rear fms are not equipped with the
blade-like swimming apparatus Of the crab,
1t would seem that the habitat OF the Spi-
der would be confined 10 the bottom alone
AS no other specimen has seen in these
waters. practically nothing is known Of the
habits or distribution OF the species. Small
aquatic animals locally known as sea
horses, which vary in length from six
TO ten inches. are frequently taken in the
drsdges of the bay craft The head and
neck OF the animals present a strikingly
singular resemblance to that Of q horse,
and. as when N the water they retain an
upright position. the resemblance IS even
more remarkable.
