New York. Aug. 3.-Eastern owners aud

To be fTnbued with a desire to escape defeat

say this IS due TO n lack Of true sporting

An Animal Curiosity.

There are not very many trans
parent animals, but studies of two
larval cells, which possess this pecul-
iarity and which belong to the Ma
tional museum, seem to show that
among the possible advantages Of
being transparent is economy in
personal decoration. In ordinary
opaque animals the color markings
are symmetrical on the two sides Of
the body, but this is not the case
with the transparent cells. Each Of
them, when looked at from one side,
appears to have seven large black
spots arranged at nearly regular in
tervals along the length of its body,
but closer examination shows that
in each case three of the spots are
on the left side and four on the
right and irregularly placed, but in
such a manner that, on looking
through the body, all seven appear
in a symmetrical row.

The Inn In Literature.

The social Importance Of the inn
in days Of old is proved by the con-
spicuous position it holds in our
fiction and poetry. The 'eCanter-
bury Tales" of Chaucer start from
an inn, along with the motley COM
pany of pilgrims bound for St.
Thomas shrine, to whom the genius
of the poet has given an immortal
life. It's site and name, the Tai
bot or Tabard, still preserve the
memory Of the famous inn thus as
ISOLATED with our first great Eng
lish poem. 1t was not, however,
until the reign Of Elizabeth that the
tavern attained to a permanent
place in literature, rejecting the i'm
portant place, it held in the daily
life of the people.-All the Year

Siberia's Vast Area.

In discussing Siberia, statements
of dimension and distance confuse
and bewilder rather than enlighten.
1t is Of small advantage to dwell
upon its area of over 100000
square miles. If the forty-fve
states which compose the American
Union were taken up and planted
bodily in the midst of Siberia, they
would be inclosed in every direction
by wide border of land. In this
border territory all the countries Of
Europe except Russia could likewise
be planted bodily and there would
remain still unoccupied 100000
square miles, an area twice the size
of imperial Germany.-National
Geographic Magazine.

A Train Problem.

It is seldom, indeed, that the fol-
towing question is answered correct
ly offhand:
A train starts daily from San
Francisco to New York and one
daily from New York to San Fran
cisco, the journey lasting five days.
How many trains will traveller
meet in journeying from New York
to San francisco?
About ninety-nine persons out OF
6 hundred would say five trains, as a
matter of course. The fact is over
looked that every day during the
journey a fresh train is starting
from the other end, while there are
five trains on the way to begin with.
Consequently the traveller will meet
not five trains, but ten.
