ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Curious Cases of Attachments Fornle Tn r p,,crs z6nc ls58&s&

Curious Cases of Attachments Formed
 Ill Large Zoos. .
 Among the strange features Of life Tn
 large zoo are the unexpected, ana, at
 times, amusing friendships that spring
 up between animals of altogether dlssl- nilar habits and natures. Out at the
 National Zoo two Rhesus monkeys have formed warm friendship for a large Belgium hare, but this is not so surpris- E ing as some of the platonic loves that
 have been noted elsewhere. B, Some years ago the botanical gardens at Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil,
 kept large manatee in a pond on the
 grounds It was an immense creature and in Mime became so tame that 1t would come to the waters edge and eat
 grass out of the hands of the visitors.
 This leviathan formed an attachment for a European swan, kept on the lake, and followed it about as though the
 swan were it's guardian, So that Wher- ever the swan happened to be one had only to look in the clear water by its side to see the lazy manatee floating about and feeding on the water plants at the bottom. Visitors soon found this out and by coaxing the swan to the edge of the lake they were always sure of the manatee's following. When the swan left the water the manatee was Idiscontented and restless until 1t re turned. As for the swan, it grew So accustomed to the big animal that It had no fear when the manatee rose by it's side to take air, and so the two got
 along famously.
 MT. Afialo, iii his description of tlle private menageries of England, says that such attachments come about often in the big animal parks, of Great
 Britain. At one of them Leonardslee, | he saw u Sambur deer and a Welsh pony that were great chums.s At pres- ent one of thee pair of hippopotalnus in lthe London zoo has grown very fond Of an ordinary black house cat that enters l and leaves the quarters of the big brute lat will. Iii another private menagerie l in England Mr Afialo saw two gray wolves that were hand in glove with a European bear. Sometimes the bear would get tired of the incessant, Iboisterous play of the wolves, in which events he woud climb a tree and lie down to sleep in the forks of some branches. leaving his companions to howl over his absence below.
 Sir Harry Johnson, the discoverer of l the Okapi, iii his recent work on Uganda, describes how. for a time, he
 undertook the tanning and donestica- ton of a number of Wild animals of that
 country, an experiment in which he was partly successful. Among the animals which he had at his geological experi- rnent station was baby elephant and
 a young zebra that became great tcronies. The little elephant had way Iof twining it's trunk in loving erll- lbrace around the neck of the zebra, and, lalthough the latter was usually very affectionate toward the little elephant,
 there were other times when 1t became bored and tired of constant attentions land demonstrations of love and nipped the little elephant with it's sharp teeth fright spitefully, causing the little fellow to sdueal under the pinch. London

BURGLARIoUS STARS.
Planets and Suns May Pick Up Minor

Planets and Suns May Pick Up Minor
 Solar Bodies.
 Jupiter is much the biggest member of the family of stars which revolve around our sun. Consequently the power of his attraction is greater than that possessed for instance, by the earth, Jupiters exploits as burglar have caused very considerable annoy ance and inconvenience to astronomers in the days before his powers were fully ] recocognized.
 In ITO there appeared fine comet, which was found to have an eliptica1 or bit round the sun of so comparatively small a size that Mr. Lexell. it's dis cover. calculated it would return in five and a half years. But in 1775 telescopes were vainly focused on the spot where it was expected to reappear, and again in 17S1 it disappointed all observers. MT. Lexell plunged into fresh calcula- tions, and after much reseach found that Jupiter was the culprit. The un- fortunate comet had been rash enough to plunge into the sphere of the giant planets attraction, with the result that it had been completely diverted it's former orbit, and flung off into quite a different one of a atwenty-year period. It has never been seen again by any one on this earth, and probably never will be.
 Jupiter was also responsible for the delay which occurred in the return of that splendid visitant known as Hall- ey's comet. Haley found that he was 1s 41.. 1. comet. It had appeared at least twice previously, once seventy-five years be- fore, and again seventy-six years before that The astronomer concluded that there would be a further delay in it's third return, and predicted that its next appearance would be 51S days later. He did not live to see it; but in 175S, the year he had profesied for its reappearance, astronomers were waiting for it.

his position secure by his appearance
 of holiness, his impressive airs, and the assurance with which he made his prophecies. At this time and hereafter the magic learnt in his boyhood stood him in good stead whenever his holiness was not able to oYerawe his somewhat turbulent followers. He assumed the title of Mullah (priest and heaven-sent)
 and even that of Mahdi (prophet:)
 Overwhelmed with presents by his .credu- lous followers, Mohammed Abdileh soon was among the richest of the land, and
 with his riches his influence grew apace
 His pride waxed very great, and one day he ordered all the Korans of the ordinary priests to be burnt, saying
 that he himself was the living Koran, and that he was to be obeyed as a new prophet sent from Allah. Not content with persuasion, the Mullah, following the example set by Mohammed the Great. threatened with death all those who disbelieved and in following up these threats caused the disturbances which brought about the Somaliland campaign. Possessing the power of calling forth the enthusiastic support of { tribeslnen. the Mullah has not had to rely upon himself alone for the conduct of his campaigns. If report speak truly, besides the Austrian, Karl Inger, he has as lieutenant an English naval officer, who after his disgrace in the service, sought a career and revenge in the midst of the Mullah's tribe.-St. James Gazette.

STRUGGLE WITH A swoRDFIsH

Monster Fish with One Stroke Pierces
 Catboat and Wounds Fisherman. E
 Christopher Norwaugh. one of the
 best known fisherman in tse fleet that
 halls from Block Island, had terrific
 battle with ye-hundred- d-pound
 swordfish and sustained injuries from
 which 1t is thought he cannot recover.
 During the struggle the fish rammed
 the small boa. in which the fisherman
 was at work and sent it's sword through
 the hull and into the fisherman,s body causing punctured wound of the most
 serious character. So severely injured
 was Norwaugh that the island doctors
 thought it advisable to send the patient
 to hospital for surgical and such other treatment as the case might
 necessitate
 Norwaugh was one of the fishing crew
 of the catboat Lindsey, Capt Edwin Dodge The craft left Old Harbor com
 pany with the fleet about sunrise, and
 when six miles south of tfIe wireless
 station Wallace A. Mitchell, another of
 the crew. sighted swordfish from the
 IldSlHedu.s I iles ssIiSii, llles llI SCol eiitt most ferocious seen this season. rose at full length above feathering seas to the height of six feet q number of times.
 The craft ran down toward the fish and
 Capt. Dodge. in the pulpit made ready to harpoon the monster
 As the Lindsey,s head pointed up to tho spot where the fish was last seen.
 Capt Dodge proceeded to haul in the line. The fish made no violent de-
 monstration until it was within a few yards Of the small boat, and then the struggle began. The fish eircled the boat a dozen times as fast as it could swim and then 1. went out of the sea
 clearing the small boat. The flsh's tail
 grazed the flshermar's head. The mon- ster dived deep and turning quickly came up directly under the stern. The
 sword struck the bottom of the boat with terrific force, penetrated it, entered the interior of the fishermans left leg
 and was forced through the feshy part.
 The point of the sword came out on the exterior of Norwaugh's leg at the hip The weapon with which the fightins fish struck the man was over feet long and the wound it made was a tearing wound nearly 30 inches in length. The flesh and muscles of Norwaugh's leg were torn from the bone.
 Mitchell saw the struggle between the man and fish, and the crew of the Lindsey went to the rescue as soon as possible. Norwaugh was found to be terribly torn, and he was bleeding pro fusely. It was feared he would bleed to death. The flow was stopped and, with the injured man aboard, the boat made for the harbor under both sail and | ten horsepower auxiliary with which the craft is supplied. Nearly all the way in the vessel was throwing the sea over the bows. Everything depended upon the earliest arrival of the craft in port, where doctor could dress the injuries of the fisherman. The Lindsey
 arrived here shortly after noon, and
 Drs. Hustad and Champlin attended the man.

DANGER OF HANDLING GERMS

DANGER OF HANDLING GERMS The Berlin correspondent of the Lam
 cet gives an account of the case of Dr..
 Milan Sachs, the Croatian, who recently
 died of plague contracted while working
 with the germ of Prof. Koch,s labora-
 tory. He fell i'll on June 2, and had be-
 come so much worse by the 4th that he
 was removed to the municipal hospital of Charlottenburg, a suburb of Berlin,
 where he lived. It was at first thought
 that he pneumonia, but when it was
 learned that he had been working in the
 Koch laboratory and with the plague.
 germ, suspicion was aroused. and an
 examination of the sputum resulted in the discovery of the plague germ. He was thereupon immediately removed to
 Prof. Koch's institute for infectious dis
 eases, and was given large injections of 1 the Roux- Yersin anti-plague serum.
 But, notwithstanding all that could be done. he died on the evening of the 9th. 1 Wherever possible, every one with whom he had recently come in contact was isolated in a hospital ward and
 given free injections of the plague serum. One of the nurses who had at tended Dr. Sachs at the Charlottesburg
 hospital fell i'll after inoculation with the serum, but apparently recovered after twenty -four hours Subsequent- ! ly virulent plague bacilli were found in ! his sputum, and injections of the serum were continued and apparently saved his life. Regarding the first re- port that the German government irl- ltends to abolish the plague laboratory, lit Is now said that while the greater
 effort will be made to officially control and safeguard the work, it's vast ilrl- i portanee is too clearly appreciated by I the authorities to justify any serious interference with it.

According to an Oshkosh critic the species of frogs commonly eaten are
 the bullfrog, the green frog, the spring frog, and two species. of western frogs. The bullfrog and the spring frog are common to nearly all parts of the United States and Canada, while the green frog is found throughout the eastern and central states and neigh
 boring parts of Canada. Nearly all the ranidae are edible, but a few species are not generally used owing to their small size or disagreeable odor. Although numerous efforts have been made it has
 been found impossible to raise frogs from the. egg stage, owing to the ex- cessive time required. The principal difficulty experienced has been in furnishing the creature with food when
 it assumes the adult form. From this time the food must be living, and it con- sists almost entirely of insects. The ex- treme difficulty of furnishing these in
 sufficient quantity has been the great
 drawback. The frogs, failing in the
 supply of more natural food have been
 compelled to deyour each other.
 The best plan is to prepare a shallow old pond, which is already well stocked
 with organic matter, and build close
 fence around the edge of 1t to exclude
 such enemies as raccoons and reptiles, while a screen should be provided so that wading birds, whose long legs furnish them special facilities cannot stand in the water and devotr the help less tadpoles. The screen and fence
 should be so arranged. however. as to permit the young tad3oles to come to land, for if there is no opportunity for i the tadpoles to breathe the air at rest
 and exercise the legs, the period of
 metamorphosis will be indefinitely de- layed. By dividing the pond into two
 parts, one part could be stocked with
 pairs of adult frogs while the other
 could be stocked with tadpoles. If put together the frogs will eat the tadpoles.
 Food is readily provided the tadpole
 stage. In an old pond there is usually
 considerable natural food for the frogs, and this can be rapidly increased by
 supplying animal refuse, liver and such material, care being taken not to leave a surplus to putrety and infect the water. The more abundant the food and the warmer the water the more rapid is the growth, hence the desira-
 bility of selecting shallow pond. The pond should have growth of rushes
 and other plants, while shade is quite | necessary.
