At n recent meeting OF naturalists
at Chicago, Mr.. II. II. Donaldson de-
scribad experiments with frogs, tend
inc to show that those animals rapid
" absorb water through the pores OF
the skin. He emphasized the fact that
frogs never take water by the mouth.
On being exposed for several hours TO
dry air the frogs experimental with
lost fourteen per cent. of their weight,
but this was nearly all regained With
in twenty-four hours when they were
placed in dish containing water only
one centimetre in depth.

ton of oxygen has permitted aeron-

lives would have been unsafe had they
depended alone on the thin air of these
high regions. The oxygen is brcathed
in through tube held to the mouth.
NJ. Cailletet points out that this meth
cd of inspiration through the mouth
is not only inconvenient, but unSatis-
factory, since We naturally breathe
through the nostrils. Oxygen breathed
through the mouth fills the buccal cav
ity, it is true, but is often rejected
before it reaches the lungs where it
is wanted. He has devised simple
apparatus which is perfectly effective,
besides being entirely convenient in
use, and 1t should be Of material use
in ascensions to great heights.
Siberia makes the latest contribu-
ton to the small number Of skeletons
of primitive man that have been dis
covered. The skeletons Of cave and
lake dwellers and other primitive
representatives of the race hitherto
brought to light have usually been as
sociated with utensils made of stone,
while the interesting find on the slope
Of Il mountain in the upper Angara
basin, Central Siberia, was surrounded
by rude manufactures fashioned en-
tirely from the bones of animals.
Probably all anthropOlogistS agree
with the view Of Professor Virchow
that none of these skeletons has
thrown a great deal Of light upon the
development Of the race, though, judg-
ing from his remains, it is perfectly
evident that primitive man did not
resemble a monkey any more than do
men Of to-day. All the remains that
have been discovered show that the
ancients were we'll formed, having the
same characteristic marks that We find
in men Of our times. None of them
was so poorly developed rs to justify
the assertion that he possessed the
lowest form Of skull. From what is
known of his brain capacity, physical
structure and handiwork, We need not
be ashamed to acknowledge primitive
man as brother

Boys Opportunities.

1t is not pa~rtiality to give credit
where credit is deserved, and when
any individual does exceptionally
well it ismcet that n word of appre
citation be given him. Especially
does the Press consider this appro
pirate in the case Of boysand young
men. Hence we desire 70 express a
word Of commeadation for the able
sermon delivered Sunday night to a
large congregation at the Presby-
terrain church by O. e. Tell, the
young theological student who is
thus working his way towards an
education, and fitting him ielffor the
ministry. For breadth of thought
and christian principle. for logic, for
intellectual scope, the sermon ofthis
young student was equal to any
thing the writer has helri in Miller
for "A long time. 1t was eloqueat,
forcefGl, based upon the broad prin-
ciple oil the right OF individual opin-
ion and interprctati,n of the bible

asked that Gods revelations in ma,
ture and the inspired word be taken
as u grand, continuous, completed
whole. With a continuation of thu
energy, persistence, research and
self reliance now manifested by Mr..
Tell he should rise to prominence
and accomplisl great good in the
mtnistry. All, ii the boys coull all
only realize that success is pounded
out by determination. and courage,
and perseverance; that the boy who
works and studies has more nerve

twenty of whom were of royal blood and
thirty were of the nobility, the latter in

FOLLOWS ROOTS ADVICE
Publicity Incompatible With the
Public Interests.
SUCH THE REASON GIVEN FOR HIS DENIAL
Root Declares That While 'he Prosecution Of
Offenders Involved in This Report is
Pending Report tse'f Should
Not be Made Public.
(Dy the Associated Press. }

Washington, Jan 3.-The President to-
day sent message TO the Senate de-
clining the request of that body made
in resolution passed on the 10Th of De-
cember and addressed to the Secretary
of War for the transmittal OF the Lawshe
report in regard 10 the Irregularities in
connection with postal affairs in Cuba.
The declination is considered exceptional
and it is possible it viii create more or
less discussion. The Presidents mes
sage is as follows:
ITO the Senate of the United States:
"In reply to q resolution of the Senate
of December 18th, 1900, directing the Sec
rotary of War to transmit to the Senate
the report of Abraham L. Lawshe giving
in detail the result of his Investigations
made under the direction Of the War
Department into the receipts and expen-
ditures of Cuban funds the Senate is in
formed that for the reasons stated in the
accompanying communication from the
Secretary of War dated December 2sth,
1860, it is not deemed compatible with the
public interest to transmit the report to
the Senate at this time.
(signed) civilian MCKINLEY.
Executive Mansion, January 3rd, 1901"
Secretary Roots explanation to The
President was couched in the following
language:
The document referred to is a conf
Dental report of an investigation made
under your authority for the purpose of
enabling you, through this department to
properly direct the prosecution of certain
offenders against the laws OF Cuba
THE prosecutions are now pending.
While they are pending it is not. in my
judgment, compatible with the public in
terests that the report should be made
public.
II transmit a copy of the report to-
gether with the resolution for your action
or instructions"
