A peculiar fate is said to overhang
the family Of the late Sir Julian Gold
smid. An ancestor Of his, so says the
legend, once gave shelter to rabbi,
who, at his death, left to him a bequest
Of mysterious box. which was on no
account to be opened until after the
customary seven days Of mourning. If
opened before that time, curse would
fall upon the family.
Curiosity got the better Of supersti-
ton, and the box was opened before
the seven days were up. In 1t was
found a document which said that as
the injunction Of the rabbi had not
been needed no future owner OF the es-
tate would be succeeded by a son. And
such strangely enough. has been the
case ever since.

HAIR OF THE sLoTti.

1t Is Green In Color and For a Pee
culiar Reason.
1t is a very curious fact that certain
plants grow and thrive on the hair Of
sloths. Apart from its extremely coarse
and brittle nature, the most striking
popularity of the outer hair of the
sloth is its more or less decidedly green
tinge. Now, green is very rare color
among mammals. and there ought,
therefore, to be some special reason for
its development In the sloth, and as a
matter of fact, the means by which
this coloration is produced is one of
the most marvellous phenomena in the
whole animal kingdom, so marvellous,
indeed, that it is at first almost impos-
sible to believe that 1t is true.
The object of this peculiar type of
celebration Is, of course, to assimilate
the animal to it's leafy surroundings
and thus to render 1t as inconspicuous
as possible. and when hanging in its
usual position from the underside of
a bough its long, coarse and green
tinged hair Is stated to render the sloth
almost indistinguishable from the
punches Of gray green lichens among
which 1t dwells. In the outer sheath
of the hairs Of the al there are NUM-
Der of transverse cracks. and in these
cracks grows primitive type of plant
namely, a one celled alga
And for the benefit of nonbotanical
readers it may be well to mention here
that aig@, among which seaweeds are
included, form q group Of tiowerless
plants related on the one hand to the
fungi and on the other to the lichens.
In the moist tropical forests forming
the home Of the sioths the algn In the
cracks Of their hairs grow readily and
thus communicates to the entire coat
that general green tint which, as all
ready said, Is reported TO render them
almost indistinguishabie from the cius-
ters of lichen among which they hang
