ANIMAL STOWAVvAYS.
On Ships and In CarSoes They Otter
Cross the Ocean.


Cross the Ocean.
New York has for many years re-
ceived numbers of destitute aliens of
the animal world from the holds of the
banana ships. The trade in bananas
Is an enormous one, and many of them
come from sources at no great distance,
whence the fruit can be brought with
out cold storage The big clusters Of
bananas are peculiarly adapted for har-
Dor ''StowaWays." Among these are
enumerated numbers of small harm
less snakes, lizards of various kinds,
occasionally, it is said, young iguana
and large and particularly venomous
spiders. But real pests which survive
and increase in a new country are for
tunately rarely transported accidental
~. The one serious instance is the
CHICO, or ''jigger' It is said to have
been transported I'm Central America
to the East Indies.
The Colorado beetle has never sue
ceeded in making home in England.
though mosquitoes of a peculiarly fero-
ciouS though nOnmalarial kind are said
to have appeared in English hotels.
Several corn beetles, very destructive
type of insect and among the greatest
enemies of those who would like to
create an emergency store of corn,
have been dumped in England with
foreign grain and have established
themselves.
Bird 'stowaways" on ships are very
numerous in the narrow parts of the
Mediterranean during the migration.
They also frequently alight on ships
when these are near the coast, being
then very much exhausted and glad to
find "a rest for the soles of their feet"
Golden crested wrens sometimes de-
scend in a storm on some North sea
smack on a migration night and even
alight on steamers by day. 1t was
confidently stated that golden crested
wren was seen to fly from off the back
Of short cared owl when the latter
came in from the sea and alighted near
a jetty on the east coast.
The belief that some little birds come
as "stowaways'' on the backs of larger
ones was held in reference to the Cana
da geese by the North American Indi-
ans and by the Turks of Cyprus, who
alleged the same Of the crane anG.
stork. That some birds must travel
great distances on ships crossing the
Atlantic seems probable. The Amer
lean bittern and two American cuclzoos
have been found in England, the first
rather frequently. 1t is conjectured
that they can only have crossed the
ocean. by travelling on the masts and
yards of ships, probably steamers, as
otherwise they must have died of star
vation.-London Spectator.

Making HeaGvvay.

The one thing plainly evident is that
Mr.. Chamberlain's tariff scheme has
made unmistakable Roadway. 1t does
not appear that he has gained many
supporters in the house of commons
among the members returned in recent
byelectiOns, but it is undeniable that
he has made many converts among the
ministerialists who were elected in 1900
The Irish party, too, is apparently
ready to make terms with Mr.. Bal
tours supporters in return for the es-
Enlistment of a Catholic university
at Dublin and the amendment Of the
Irish land purchase act.
To what extent Mr. Balfour is pre-
pared to follow Mr.. Chamberlain in the
tariff matter, however, is still I'M
known. At present he seems disposed
to stop with simply tariff for retalia-
ton.
What the issue of this peculiar mud
die may be it is impossible to say,
but the indications are that the day
is not far off when appeal must be
made to the entire British electorate on
the tariff question. This would prob
ably result in a wholesale realignment
Of British voters, possibly under new
party names. The outcome Of the mat
ter will be watched with deep interest
on this side of the Atlantic. = New
