"Menobranchus," though many persons who
have looked at 1t could not think Of any
thing to call It. That ii is a freak, all who
have seen it will agree but the creature
has been given many different names.
Webster defines 1t as a large aquatic
American salamander of the genus Nee
turns. 1t was caught by a net in the Mis-
sissippi River by a party Of fishermen near
~ChautauQua. Ill, and being the first of its
kind ever landed In this section, SO II Is
claimed. it was regarded as a real curiosity
and was sent to this city for exhibition.

tIesnake. has two feet Hight back Of the
head and two more near the tail. each foot
having four distinct toes: 1t has .gills.
1t is not known whether the freak Is
good to eat, rs no one has yet been discov-
cred who has tasted the meat. 1t ia lazy
and apparently Is not disturbed by the Gu
riosity of passers-by.

Regarding the analytical and inspection

fore the new laboratory could be properly

printing Of various kinds Of record-books,
the purchase of apparatus (Dome OF which

horses and wagons, etc, could be attended
to. In the meantime the City Counselor had
to determine important points as to the va

All these preliminary questions now be-
