CANNOT FIND IT'S SPECIES.
Singular Animal brought from the
East Indies Pussles English
NaturaIists.

A very fine example of the bin
turong (arctictis binturong) has
been received at the geological gar
dens, says the London Standard of
recent date. This curious animal is
native of the East Indies, ranging
from Assam southwark through
Siam and the Malay peninsula to
Sumatra and Java. A large speci-
men will measure about five feet
in total length, of which the tail
counts for nearly half. The long,
coarse hair is black, but there is a
gray wash on the head and fore
limbs and there is a little white over
the eyes and on the throat; the ears
are short and carry long tufts Of
hair. Its English book name, "bear
cat" is modelled on its generic ap-
pellaticn and records the difficulty
early naturalists experienced in as
certaining the animals true place in
their schemes of classification.
Although 1t was at one time placed
with the bears, it is now regarded
as closely allied to the palm civets.
In matters of diet the binturong is
not hard to please. When opportuni-
ty serves it will take small mann
mails, birds, insects and worms.
When these cannot be secured it will
support itself on fruits, and in cap
tivity it will take fruit of all kinds
readily. The binturong is more ac-
tive by night than in the daytime,
and lives almost entirely among the
branches of the trees of the forest
regions in which it is found. 1t Is
remarkable as being the only true
mammal of the eastern hemisphere
which has a prehensile tail. 1t can
wind this organ around a branch and
thus the tail aids the animal in its
arboreal life.
Blyth showed. many years ago,
that the young of this species could
hang on to a bough by the tip OF
the tail Whether the adults can
SUSPEND themselves in this manner
has been doubted. There can, how
ever. be no question that the tail is

Great Experiment at Ann Arbor.
With the object of discovering azure
for typhoid fever a remarkable ex-
pertinent is being conducted at Ann
Arbor university, Michigan. Six big
tanks have been constructed, with =
layer of gelatine, and on these ~
square feet Of the fever germs are
grown at time. These living germs
are scraped off, killed and bottled up.
Two ounces of them would kill 10000
guinea pigs. The object is, if possible.
to extract the poison from the germ
bodies, feed animals with it and try
to discover an antidote. Medical Jour

ing family He has served in many
| engagements, has an interesting and
creditable record, and is an officer of
whom his country may well feel prouda
These and other officers of the Army
and Navy reside here. Although at
first glance the number seems small,
it is fact that in no other city in
the country can be found so large
number of retired naval officers as in
Annapolis.
The ladies, too, must not be for
gotten. Many of the widows of naval
officers reside in Annapolis choosing
20 make the city, which is the seat OF
the Naval Academy, their home.
Some have happy recollections and as
ociations here; others have sad memo
ries, but are attracted by the institu-
tion that is educating their sons to be
naval officers, as their fathers were,
while yet others come to be near the
Naval Cemetery, the last resting place
of their loved ones.
Among the widows of naval officers
MitO AlNO III dIt MIS- bhlh
w. Philip, widow of Rear Admiral
Philip, of the battleship Texas, who,
when in the thickest of the fight at
Santiago during the Spanish American
War, exclaimed to his men; Don't
cheer, boys, those poor devils are
dying" Admiral Philip was bold,
brave and daring officer. whose name
has gone down into history and his
memory is hQnored by his countrymen.
Mrs. Philip has a son, Midshipman
]. Wood Philip of the Naval Academy.
Mrs. McNair, widow of Admiral
McNair, also has made Annapolis her
home and resides in beautiful house
ON King George street. Mrs. McNnir
was induced TO reside here because of
her association with the Naval Acad.
emy, where she had son as n mid
shipman, who graduated in last years
class. Mrs. MeNair is much attached
to Annapolis and purchased the site
for her attractive home, where she is
surrounded by many warm friends.
Admiral McNair was one time Super.
intendent of the Naval Academy and
left behind an enviable record as n
naval officer.
Mrs. Merriam, wife of Commander
G. A. Merriam, makes Annapolis her
home. Mrs. Merriam owns quite
little property here, and takes much
interest in the city's welfare. Com
mander Merriam is now on sea duty.
Mrs. Gearing, wife of Lieutenant
Commander Henry @. Gearing, Owls

avenue with her family while Com
mander Gearing is at sea. Mrs. Gear

MURDOCH VS.. STRANGE.
Testimony In The Market Mas.
ter Controversy.

The taking of testimony in the peti-
ton for a mandamus of James H. Muir
dock, late market master of Annapolis,
against Robert K. Strange, his successor
in Office, began today before Examiner
Jerry L Smith. The case dates back to
dispute over the city Offices which dates
back to Immediately after the election of
the new City Council last July. Murdock
denies the validity of the election of
Strange, who was declared elected by
having received four votes to his oppo-
nents three:and one blank ballot was
cast.
The opposing counsel were not able
to argue upon a state of facts and this
necessitated the taking of testimony.
Counsel for the defendant would not
adm that it had been the invariable Gus
tom of the Annapolis City Counsel to
count blank piece Of paper as a bal
lot and this contention was sought to be
proved by the evidence today. Among
the witnesses were ex-wayors John H
Thomas and c. A. Du Bois and ex City
Clerk p. K. Porter.
