a LIrins BooI. Marker.


The mystery Of life has rarely fur
nished the thinker with so strang'
a problem as that which arises out OF
a fact instanced by Mr.. w. II. Hudson
the naturalist. Mr.. Hudson had piece
Of snake skin, which for years he used
as a book marker. II changed color
periodically and shed its scales. II con
tinued to shed its scales in this fash
ion for ten years, each succeeding set
Of scales being smaller than the last
Some fairly recent books would make
even hippopotamus hide book marker
change color were it to find itself be
tween their leaves. The sensitive book
marker capable OF blushing rose red OF
paling with emotion may no doubt be
a feature in the literary life Of the
amazing future and perhaps in the
literary world. "Some Emotions Of a
Moral Book Marker is a thinkable
title when we consider the strides OF
modern Thought. ht."-London outlook.
