Cuban Cave-Fishes.

An interesting addition has re. gently been made to the Natural History museum, South Kensing- ton, London, by the receipt of specimens of some of the blind cave-fishes of Cuba. The special interest of these fishes lies in the fact that their alliance is with salt water forms which exist in the neighboring sea, and not with fresh-water fishes, as is the case with Amblyopsis and it's allies of the great cave of Kentucky. There can be little doubt that the Cuban caves in which the blind fishes are found were formerly in communication with the sea, and that the ancestors of these fishes entered the caves from the adja- cent ocean.

Children labeled for Travelling.

The practice of labelling chil, dren and sending them across the Atlantic, addressed as parcels, would appear to be getting rather general. A number of children so labeled have passed through Queenstown from time to time lately. From the Dominion liner New England, which has arrived there from Boston, was landed a little boy not quite nine years old. He was addressed to his uncle at Kilkenny. He had travelled from Chicago unaccompanied, and had been transferred just as a parcel would be by the various forward ing companies through whose hands be passed

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
Only One Pair Was Ever Made and That Was Very small--Inter-
 esting Glove Lore.

gen that great rat hunt has been organized there, and that the skins of many thousands of the victims are to be used in making gloves. If the rat hunters in the Danish capital cherish any such hopes, says the Pail Mall Gazette, they are doomed to disappoiDt- ment.
 Rat skins cannot be made into gloves 6t for commerce. The be- lief that a valuable raw material is being neglected here survives only in the minds of the inexpert. The glove maker knows much better. A Norwegian merchant once came to England and in- formed a we'll known glove maker that he had collected over 10O,OO rat skins and was prepared to re- ceive offers for them. He was fully convinced that the skins were suitable for glove making. But the manufacturer found that the largest skin was only some six inches long, and he held up a kid skin for the smallest size of glove, a child's, which was eight inches long, and asked how he was to cut such a glove out of rat skin.
 Then he took up the smallest kid skin for lady's glove, II inch es long, and when he asked how that was to be cut out of rat skin the Norwegian merchant laughed at the idea and went away disap- pointed. The best offer he got for those skins, which he had col lected with so much care, was five sbillings a hundredweight from a man who was willing to boil them down for glue.
 A famous glove making firm has il collection of curiosities relating to the trade, end one of them is the largest pair of gloves ever made out of rat skin. The be lief that such skins could be made 1 into gloves was laid before the managers so confidently that they resolved to put it to the trial, and they ordered a number of skins of the largest rats which could be found in Grimsby But the rat is' a fighting animal, and bears the marks of many battles on his body, and it was found that the skins were so scared and torn that it was with the utmost diff culty that perfect pieces large enough for the purpose could be obtained. In the end, after ten skins had been used, pair of gloves was cut and made, and they are retained in the collection to this day. But they are so small that they would only fit the small est of small boys. Thus it was shown that, however cheaply rat skins might be obtained, they would offer no advantage to the glove maker. The rabbit skin is equally useless for the purpose, and humane people may also dis miss from their minds the fear that the skins of pet dogs are made into gloves. The dog skin glove of which we used to hear is made of nothing but the skin of the Cape goat.

He reports that the country is

gone into the great Northwest to seek
their fortunes, leaving their families
at home with the hope of being able
to send for them If anything turns
up" Others have sold their property
and moved their families to the rough
frontier towns, where they are now
compelled to endure the hardships of
poverty, as well as the severity of the
northern climate.
Work on the reputed railroad
building out of Valdez is at a stand
stih, and today Valdez is the dead
est town in Alaska, and the climate is
simply abominable. The town is full
of men who nave gone there expecting
to get work on the railroad and. un-
less they are able to get away before
winter there will be great suffering
in that camp.

Barnard discourages any one who mas

better his fortunes. He says that the
resources are there, but there rs no

expects to return next spring, and be-
