A party OF archaeologists and anti
quarians have made important discov-
cries In the hitherto unexplored region
at the northern limit OF the Harqua
Hala range Of mountains in Arizona.
A great desert and the total absence
OF water have prevented any previous
examination, and only the Indians
know OF the curiosities of these noun
tains. One side of one mountain rises
In terraces and presents many features
recalling the Grand canyon OF the Col
orado. The whole mass is of obsidian,
or volcanic glass. and glitters in coll
ors OF green, blue and black. 1t may
be seen on clear mornings at great
distances and the glitter of the noun
tain has lured many travellers in its di-

lures have occurred the varied and
beautiful colors of the volcanic glass
are brilliantly reflected. The noun
tain is dangerous and difficult OF as

A New and curIou. Rabbit.

An extraordinary species Of rabbit
has been found high up on Mount Po-
pocatepetl, Mexico, at and above an
altitude Of 1900 meters approximate
ly 10000 feet). This singular animal
has exceedingly short hind legs, and
instead of moving by a series OF leaps
like ordinary rabbits. runs along on ell
fours and lives in runways in the grass
like the meadow mice. E. w. Nelson,
who discovered this new species in the
world OF mammals, says: "On my first
visit to Mount Popocatepetl learned
that these little rabbits were found
there, and on my return to the city
of Mexico I prepared for an expedition
to secure them. On Jan. 5, 1894. my
assistant, E. A. Goldman, and | made
our camp on the side Of canyon at
an altitude of about $500 meters ILL.,
900 feet), on the northwest slope Of the
mountain. We we're accompanied by
three Indian hunters and our packer.
Among the frs and alders at this al
titude the northerly slopes of the hills
and canyons are covered with luxuri-
ant growth of succaton grass in huge
punches, from three to six feet across,
and often reaching a height of six or
eight feet 1t was evident that the
rabbits were very numerous here, and
we all proceeded to hunt the vicinity
carefully for them. Upon the first day
of this sort Of work l saw three. but
was unable to. get shot at them. One
came running through the grass along
one Of the hidden trails, and, seeing
me, stopped in little opening only
seven OF eight feet away. 1t was too
near to shoot. and so it escaped after
looking at me with inquiring eyes
for few moments. The following
evening shot one, and thereafter sew
1 eral."
Prof. Miller, assistant chief Of the
department of mammals at the Smith
sonian institution, in commenting on
the discovery, said:
This is the most extraordinary va
riety Of rabbit that has ever come un-
der my notice 1t is very small, and.
in fact, resembles in some respects a
rat, notably In its method of going
over the ground"

Little George likes to hear stories,
but he has choice as to what kind.
Bear stories always come first, and
after that Indian and fairy stories
thrill him with interest. Not long ago
his father varied the story program by
telling him a ghost story. which was
the first the child had ever heard. It
was about a ghost dressed in white
which walked about a lonely grave
yard at night. George was interested
in the ghost story. but he could not
forget about the dreadful thing. and
it was noticed that he was afraid to &c
to bed alone that night. A few even

fathers knee asking for a story But
