The description OF life in Libby
or AndersonviIle is full OF thrilling
Incidents; that OF a One-time exile
to Siberia is even more startling in
it's denouements. Having served
his native government. as an army
officer for eleven years, Capt. Al
berti came to America. On return
iny to Russia to settle an estate ne
was unlawfullv arrested and sent to
Siberia as an exile. The story OF
his escape, together with the MARIA
ton OF the conditions existing in
Siberia and Russia form tale full
OF interest and not easily forgotten.
The recital of these events will be

E A party OF young folks, consisting
OF four surrey loads, went from Mil
Ter to Cottonwood Lake Saturday
and spent coupleoi days camping,
fishing and hunting. This lakeis in
the westera edge of Sphinx county,
about thirty miles from Miller 1t
is three o. four miles long and u
mile wide. The water is low at this
time OF year, perhaps three or fonr
feet deep. There are some shade
trees, but thew are not very extcn-
sive about the lake. However the
young folks report this about the
best place for an outir G near here.

Animal. without Feet

The hoofed animals like the. horse
and the stag, have strictly speaking,
no feet, for they walk on their nails,
and theirfeet have become part Of their
legs. The advantage seems to be a
frightening Of the stride, just as q
trained athlete learns to run,on his toes
to increase his pace. There Is also the
further advantage OF no soft part to
be injured by contact with the ground.
Some monkeys have four hands. which
must be great advantage In climbing.
The absence of legs as well as feet Is
an advantage to many animals that
have to travel rapidly through the
water or between the branches Of trees
or other distractions.
Legs would be but an obstruction 70
the tadpole while he swims by means
Of his powerful tail, but when he
leaves the water legs and feet become
an advantage. So the snake Is able
to creep through underwood and into
small holes with far greater ease with
out legs, and even the slow worm
which seems such a helpless animal on
fat ground, can. creep through a hedge
with remarkable ease and speed. The
rudiments Of legs are to be found In
many snakes, so that there can be but
little doubt that the absence Of legs
has proved an advantage and that
natural selection has removed them.
