Queer Currency.

Dewarra, currency of New Britain
is an instance of how the spoils of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the shells
OF a dog-whelk upon the ribs of palm
leaves. These strings mae be retailed at
so much a fathom-usually the price is
equivalent to about three shillings a
fathom length-or they may be made
into various articles of personal adorn-
ment to be worn on great occasions. In
New Britain the dewarra boarded up by
rich man is produced at his funeral
and divided among his heirs in much the
same kind of way as personal property
is divided amongst us

when a woman passes her first
night in sleeping car she experiences
q timidity that is most disagreeable,"
remarked a member of the gentler sex
who travels considerably. Her first
impulse is to remain up the entire
night, but as latoness approaches she
becomes so fatigued and her eyes grow
SO heavy that she decides to retire.
She goes to her berth and, after draw
ing the curtains carefully, starts to re-
move her clothing. Fearing that some
OF the other passengers may be able
to penetrate with their inquisitive eyes
both the dim illumination of the car
and also the curtains, she becomes
nervous with alarm.
Thoughts of train robbers likewise
fit through her mind, and she hest
tates again and again about turning
in. Nature at last conquers and she
removes a few. more of her wraps,
but still refrains from undressing and
climbs beneath the blanket. Then
comes the terrifying thought that
eomeone might by mistake enter her
shelf, and really her mind is thrown
into a state bordering upon Mysteries
At last she quiets down and gradually
falls into a troubled doze. Glad the
night is over, she is awake at the first
streak Of dawn and hurriedly replaces
a few garments she mustered up
enough courage to remove.
"Then she seeks the toilet depart

have visited nearly every State and
province west of the Mississippi,
have availed myself Of the researches
Of the Agricultural Department made
under DR.. G. Hart Merriam's careful
biological survey of the West, indeed,
of all sources Of information, and I am
satisfied that the ordinary earthwOrms
are not native to any part of America
south of the Saskatchewan or west Of
the Mississippi valley, exclusive of the
narrow humid belt along the Pacific
coast.
There exists, nevertheless, fine
stratum of humuS in all parts Of the
country where there is moisture
enough to produce annual vegetation.
The black earth in Manitoba is from
one foot to two feet thick, an amount
probably not exceeded over any large
area elsewhere in the world. This is
not solid bed of decayed vegetation,
but is thoroughly mixed with the upper
formation, and forms the black loan.
There is no doubt, then, that in the
absence of earthworms this mixing is
done by a number of species of bur-
rowing animals, but by far the most
important of these, are the Geomyidae
or photographers.
GOphers are found in the whole Of
the region west of the Mississippi val
ley, as far as the Pacific coast, south
we'll into Mexico, and north as far as
the Saskatchewan. In other words,
their distribution is general over the
whole region that is without earth
worms, though it is not likely that the
rodents had to do with this limitation.

BOY REFORMED BY SURGERY.
Surgeon Removed Part of Skull Press

Surgeon Removed Part of Skull Press
ing on His Brain.
London is just now very much inter-
ested in two surgical cases which
promise to render valuable assistance
in pointing the way to the reforma
ton of criminals, says the New York
Times. One of the patients was a
boy of good family who had developed
brutal instincts which seemed to be
beyond control. He gave his time to
the invention Of malicious mischief, de-
lighted in killing or wOrlnding, was the
terror Of the neighborhood in which he
lived and promised to grow up des-
pcrado and a criminal.
t A surgeon took him in hand, exam
ined his head with care, located what
he considered the seat of the trouble,
removed portion of the skull and
thus relieved the deforming pressure.
The change was immediate. The lad
forgot his previous tastes and habits
and was restored to his parents nor
NAL and lovable boy, the complete an
tithesis of his former self.
The other was soldier who was in
jured in skirmish and after his dis
charge for disability became a thief
and burglar. His previous character
had been unexceptionable, his military
record was the best and the change
was naturally attributed to the injury
to his head, caused by blow from the
butt of a musket. When he was taken
in hand by the surgeons he had about
come to the end of career of crime,
being paralyzed on one side and un-
able to get about except on crutches.
A depression in the skull sufficient to
bring an abnormal local pressure upon
the brain was found and an operation
was decided upon, which restored his
physical powers as well as his mental
and moral faculties. His discharge
was secured and he has since lived an
industrious and honest life, with no ev-
idence of disposition to go wrong.

WAYS OF THE MOSQUITO.
How Some of the Adults Hibernate
During the Winter.

How Some of the Adults Hibernate
During the Winter.
That adult mosquitoes live through
the winter is evident to all who have
seen and felt them on the first warm
days Of early spring, says a writer in
the Literary Digest. Now we are told
in addition that larvae and even the
egg Of the insect may survive great
cold. Says writer in the Revue Sci
entifique:
1T is we'll known that mosquitoes
hibernate in the adult state; certain
number Of these veXatiouS insects pass
the winter in various retreats-in
slaughter houses, granaries, cellars,
ETC., and in the spring they resume
active life and multiply their kind.
Hibernation, however, does not always
take place in the adult form only; the
larvae can also pass the winter with
safety. This has been shown by the
observations Of John B. Smith made
during the winter of 1901-19O2 and at
the end Of 1902. The winter cold does
not regularly destroy aquatic larvae.
They will bear a considerable degree
Of it; they have been seen surrounded
with ice, the water having frozen
around them, and after the melting Of
the solid envelope they still lived. The
same larvae may be alternately frozen
IN and melted several times in the
course Of the winter. This is true Of
the culex pungens and Of several other
species both of culex and of anopheles,
etc.
Certain species hibernate in the
adult state; others in the larval state
also; others still hibernate in the egg.
But many have alternating larvae:
with many the larvae pass the winter
under the ice, or in the ice, without
the least injury. 1t may easily be
seen that cold will not kill MOSQUITOES.
for numbers Of polar explorers have
noted the abundance of the insects in
the regions Of ice, and it is we'll known
that the mosquitoes are one of the
plaques of the summer in the moist
parts of Alaska
