of which domed above the mountain
peaks But it grew dark without our
having seen them, and after a fatigu-
ing and futile tramp. we were obliged
to return to the sledge, disheartened
at having lost such a. splendid deer,
and at our having, perhaps. also lost
the little white dog. When we again
reached our sledge and saw how ter
ribly twisted the traces of the dogs
had become, we could see that there
must have been reindeer there in our
absence; and, on closer inspection,
we found marks both of the deer and
the dog about fifty feet from the
sledge. The little white dog had clev-
erly managed to drive the deer in the
direction of the sledge, where it
thought its masters would be- thus
giving them a splendid chance. Now
it was too late. 1t grew rapidly dark
er, and the track of the deer and the
dog was soon lost on the plain among
the confused chaos of tracks from the
earlier part of the day. We We're
obliged to make for the tent. 1t was
slow work, the dogs being terribly tir-
ed. The frost had increased, and the
wind was keen and biting Warm as
we had been from our chase, we soon
began to shiver on the sledge, and had
frequently to alight and run a short
distance, holding on to the sledge, to
get warm again. Time seemed to drag.
When we came to the place where the
first deer had been killed, we had
the satisfaction Of coming across the
little white dog; it was asleep, and
looked reproachfully at us when we
awakened it. The clever little hound
was so exhausted that it was not able
to pull, and 1t was almost dragged
along by the other dogs in the team.

Young Meyersburg was assured that
not a drop of water had diluted the
brine, and being urged to take a bot
tie of the mixture home with him
for furthur examination, he did so.
Half of the brine he emptied into a
glass jar, which he keeps in corner
of his laboratory. From the other half
he poured off the brine and dropped
the wrigglers into another glass jar,
of water seasoned with sea salt. They
have increased a little In size, but
they are still wrigglers with a bad
habit of standing on their heads and
swimming tail foremost.
Mr.. Gelhaus emptied a hundred and
odd wrigglers into an aquarium, and
placed it in the sun, after filing the
receptacle with water charged with
proper proportions of sea salt.
Day before yesterday Mr.. Gelhaus
sent for Henry Meyersburg, and with
his own hands the young naturalist
picked out of the aquarium dozen fine
young herring, each an inch long,
which he has since placed in his aquar.

Charles Mohler, partner of Mr.. Gel
haus, who is also one of the many East
New York naturalsts and a photogra-
pher of no mean order, made a micro
scopic examination of the wrigglers
before their alleged development into
herrings, and photographed them.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL PUZZLE FOR
EAST NEW WORKERS.
Are Grocer GeIhaus' Fish Mere PIe-
bian KiIIies or Herring.

bian kiIIies or HerrinRs
From the Brooklyn Times.
A pickle barrel in an East New York
grocery store has been prolific of such
astonishing results that local natural
lists are all agog over the mystery. 1t
was an almost empty pickle barrel,
which had contained the roe of her
rings, and from the picked roe have
batched a fine mess of live herrings,
which the groceryman, William Gel
haus, of Atlantic avenue and Wyona
street, has on exhibition in a small
aquarium in the yard back Of his
store.
The astounding discovery was quite
an accident, and was made by Joseph
Gutbrecht Mr.. Gelhaus' clerk, three
weeks ago. A week before, Mr.. Gel
haus received a barrel of picked her
rings, which he emptied in the course
of a few days. In the bottom of the
barrel, when he placed it in the yard
were several unstable fish, and some
loose roe, which were covered by about
two inches of brine. The barrel was
placed near the south side of the barn,
where it was subjected to the full
strength of the summer sun.
While doing some work about the
barn, Gutbrecht had occasion TO emp
ty the barrel of the brine, and when
he tilted it, he was amazed to discov-
err wrigging objects darling here and
there through the brine, and his first
thought was "herrings.
Gutbrecht told Mr.. Gelhaus, and Mr..
Gelhaus sent for Harry Meyersburg,
son of DR.. A. G.. Meyersburg, of 102
bradford street, a decidedly bright
young student of the Boys High
school who has reputation as an
amateur naturalist. He subjected the
wriggling things 10 a microscopic ex-
animation.
'They might be herrings, but they
look like grub OF some kind" said
the young naturalist. Never heard OF

Though the comet which has for the

small proportion of the comets dis

an average every twelve months-are

Our more or less intelligent friend
the monkey, is found in every conti-
nent except Australia, but his largest
habitat is in Africa.
He is confined in North America
chiefly to the long peninsula from Mex
leo to Panama that unites the two
western continents. He is found in Eu-
rope only in the extreme southern part
of the Spain, along the strait of Gil
braltar where tourists who have time
to wander among the forests overlook
ing the sea will discover him leaping
from branch to branch as he does in
tropical Africa.
Monkeys are very numerous along
the northwest coast of South America,
but are not found west OF the Andes
from Northern Peru to the south end
of the continent. Their home in South
America is chiefly in the forests of
Venezuela throughout the great Anna
zon basin and along the fuvial sys-
TENS of the upper half of the Para
quay and the Parana rivers. A little
south of the junction of these two
rivers they disappear and the greater
part Of Uruguay and Argentina regard
them as a curiosity to be exhibited in
travelling SHOWS.
Monkeys in Many Places.
The monkey lives in the forests of
nine-tenths of Africa, from the noun
tains of the Atlas ranges in the north
TO the Ganges river of the south, and is
also seen in great numbers and varie-
ty throughout India, Burmah and CO.
chin China, the islands of the Indian
Archipelago and parts of Southern
China and Japan. Strange to say, he
draws the line at New Guinea and the
neighboring tropical coasts of North
ern Australia, where he is conspicuous
for his absence, though the conditions
there seem to be favorable for his pros
perity.
The Indian elephant is found
throughout that peninsula and also in
Burmah, Siam and the French. East
Indies, but his range among the is
lands of the archipelago is confined to
Sunlatra and Borneo. He, is not known
in Java.
There seems to be no climatic reason
why he should not have appeared on
the other islands of the East Indies.
His home in Asia extends about Il
degrees of latitude farther north than
that of his African cousin, who was
once numerous among the Atlas noun
tains near the Mediterranean, but,
having been eXterminated there, his
most northern range is only about 10
degrees north of the equator.
He roams through Soudan and the
whole of Central Africa, from the
neighborhood of Timkuktu and Lake
chad as far south as the tropic or
Capricorn in South Africa. Not many
years ago the African elephant was
