He was taken to the house of Senor Francisco Galeo- choa, at Pasedas. and was there dis covered to have tall ten inches long. Upon questioning him, the boy Said he had a brother who had a tail as long as his own. and that all the tribe had tails.
 Aetius. Harvey. Talk. Kalhng. Hssse and numerous others give descriptions of human tails. Blanchard of Amster- dam describes a tail fully span in length. and an Emanuel Koni. a son of doctor of laws, had a tail half a span long, which was coiIed and caused him much discomfort. Jacob. in the Dublin hospital reports of ISIS, tells of pouch of skin resembling q tail which hung six inches from the and discovered to be thicker than the thumb and composed of 5ointed por- tions with synovia1 capsules.

 Oliver Wendell Holmes in writingion the subject says that he saw in Lone don the photograph of q boy with n very large tail The Mol Boy" from Cochin China, had a flesh tail a foot long. Darwin in his Descent of Man" speaks of an individual with a heshy tail. Tn a publication If 1884 there is described a negro child o6 Louisville with 8 tail two and a haIn inches long resembling a pigs taiIg Not long since a medical journal told of a child with tail.
 From this mass of evidence it would appear that the human race has not entirely outgrown the development of lower animal necessities.

bama. This North Alabama Chapter had its inaugural on May 1Sth,-an open meet ing. The visit of the State Regent and Vice-Regent on the occasion, was the
 cause of much rejoicing and outpour- ing of enthusiasm. The entire Chapter worked with united energy to make Ethe day a success.
 N The meeting was held at the home |of the Regent and about thirty guests Ewere invited. There was no attempt at formal de-
 orating., but great masses of crimson
 roses alternating with white lilies,
 made the house both festive and frag-

POPE CHANGES LEO'S CUSTOM
No Collective Reception TO Members
of Sacred College to He
Held Christmas.

ROME, Dec, 23.-Contrary to the custom
of the late Pope Leo XIII. the pope has
abolished the collective reception OF the
members of the sacred college for the ex-
change of Christmas greetings. He says
the ceremony would oblige him TO deliver a
speech at a fixed date, which is not always
desirable, especially when, as is now the
case, he has an encyclical on the Franco
Vatican situation ready. He is waiting
for the publication OF the regulations gov
erning the operation OF the bill separating
church and state in France, after which
the encycical will be issued Consequently
the cardinals today went separately TO
present their homage to the pope who said
he felt quite well and that he had already
received many sympathetic Christmas mes
sages, especially from Ireland and America.

WEIGHT OF A GREAT SAURlAN
Peabody Museum Discovers that
wyoming Animal When Alive
y weighed 77,OOO Pounds.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 2S-An inter
esting experiment has lately been CON
plcted at the Peabody museum of Yas
university to ascertain the original weig at
when alive of one OF the great saurials,
the fossil remains OF which were found in
the bad lands OF Wyoming by the iate
Prof o. c. Marsh. An exact model Un a
small scale was made of the saurian. based
upon the skeleton, and using the displaced
water test and carrying out the computa-
ton, the original weight was ascertained
as about 1900 pounds, or thirty-eight and
one-half tons.
The Peabody museum owns the complete
specimen OF a skeleton and has already
mounted the higher quarters, which stand
10 height of somewhat more than sixteen
feet the saurian itself being about seventy
three feet long. The museum also owns
part of a skeleton of considerably larger
specimen which has not yet been mounted.

POLICE BALK AT THE CRADLE
Chicago women Ask Impossible
Favors of the Cfty's Polite
Guardians.

The policemen IN Chicago's suburb of
Evanston are not living up TO the ideal
set before them by club women of the
suburb Ask the women. They came to a
realization of the depressing facts last
week. They had hoped that policemen
would be available to mind their babies
while they did their Christmas shopping.
Sadly they were disillusioned.
It all grew out of an address made by
Mrs. George Ripley before the Entire Nous
club. Mrs. Ripley said that In model
town like Evanston policemen should be
per feet gentlemen and available for any
purpose, such as guarding houses and
children while their parents were absent
In the discussion that followed it was
urged that the Evanston policemen were
exceptional in every way and could be in
trusted safely with such duties.
Mrs. Ripleys views took deep root in the
fertile soil They bore their first fruit in
the case of Mrs. William Miller, 32l Demp-
ster street. She wanted to do some holiday
shopping and she called Sergeant Rubo on
the telephone and asked that a policeman
be sent to her house Immediately.
Were pretty short on men just now"
began the sergeant.
"Oh, I need one so badly" a persuasive
rupted, land l want you to send me the
incest one you have"
Rubo, without further delay, called up
Policeman Bond the only man on re-
serve. He had been working nights and
was aroused from sleep. He went grum-
blingly to the Miller residence.
"Oh, I'm 50 glad they sent a good looking
one" said the matron, as she saw the
| Immaculate, white-gloved policeman stand
| ing statesquely with his hand touching his
cap. I'm glad you haven't red hair, too;
| he always cries when he sees a man with
! red hair. He's right in here" reckoning
| TO Bond to follow her into a room opening
| on the hall.
you see my maid left yesterday and ]
have to buy my Christmas presents, and
knew you would be glad to come" Her
words still poured out and the policeman
grew even more mystiied. She led him to
| the cradle.
Am l to pinch de kid, or what am l to
do?" said Bond, wonderingly.
"Oh, mercy, no." exclaimed Mrs. Miller.
He'd scream. All you have to do is ia
watch him and that he doesn't crawl
through the rungs of the cradle and hang
| himself Why, only yesterday l was read
| ing of baby" but the policeman was
movingto a telephone across the hall,
| IF you're going TO root me out of my
| bunk to go and tend babies, you'll have to
get another copper" he told Sergeant
Rubo.
Mrs. Miller couldn't understand why the
policeman left so quickly after hanging VI
the phone and why the desk sergeant re-
| fused to talk to her when she again called
up the police station.-Chicago Tribune.

DIVING INTO VAST DEPTHS
Extraordinary Feats Performed by
Famous Divers Under High
Pressure.

At what depth can diver carry out his
functions? How long can he remain under
the surface? What is the effect of high air
pressures 90 the human system? One well
known firm of submarine engineers limits
the depth of descent to twenty-five fathoms,
or, say, $50 feet. But operations have been
| carried out at greater depths than this. and
perhaps the greatest distance below the
| surface at which diver has succeeded in
working is thirty-four fathoms, or 204 feet.
This was accomplished by James Hooper,
| who descended to the ship Cape Horn, sunk
off Pichidanque, South America, and sus-
tained pressure OF lightweight and
half pounds on every square inch of his
body.
Another remarkable feat was that of
Alexander Lambert, who recovered $35O.OoO
in gold coin from the steamship Alphonso
| XII. sunk of Point Gando, Grand Canary,
In nearly thirty fathoms of water the ac-
tual depth of the treasure room being
twenty-siX and two-thirds fathoms, or 100
feet This man also performed the daring
feat of stopping the flooding of the Severn
| tunnel when a door In the drainage tunnel
had been left open. The door was situated
a quarter of a mile distant from the shaft,
| but equipped in his diving dress he crept
| that distance through narrow passage full
of water and closed the door, This plucky
act enabled the pumps TO overcome the
volume of water which was flooding the
working and allowed the completion of the
| tunnel to be carried out
A further interesting case OF deep diving
| is that of Angel Erostarbe, who succeeded
in recovering silver bars valued at $3.50
from the steamer skyro. sunk off Cape
Finisterre In over thirty fathoms. In this
case the diver had to blow away portions
| of the vessel with dynamite before he could
| reach the treasure chamber. Three dives
per diem were frequent and as many as
nv descents were made in one day The
maximum period under water was twenty
minutes.
The effect of high pressure on the consti-
tuition is not found injurious when the work
is carried out under ordinary precautions. A
| French scientist has gone so far as to
claim that breathing compressed air is a
remedy for asthma and emphysema 1t is
also said to excite digestion, owing to the
great quantity of oxygen carried into the
blood. 1t has been found that a period of
two hours should elapse between a meal
and a descent. In descending the move
ment should be slow, and If the pressure
causes pains In the head this can be RENE

HERRING VESSEL SEIZED
Canada Puts New Construction on
Fishing Law Since Secretary
Root Made Statement.

ST. JOHNS. N. F., Dec. 23.-An inter-
change of cablegrams respecting the al
legged seizure of an American herring fish
ing vessel by the Newfoundland authori-
ties has developed the fact that the vessel
referred to is the Gloucester fishing
schooner Tattler, which was seized at
Sydney, N. s. w, a week ago by the
Canadian authorities for shipping New
foundland fishermen there to engage in
herring fishing without paying the Can
adam license fee. Previous TO this year
the Canadian government regarded the
herring vessels traders and exacted no
license fee, but Secretary Root having re-

first time laid bare TO the view of man.
Not only was the bedrock found TO be
much fssured and worn into peculiar hum
mocks and pot-holes, but great fragments
Of the limestone ledge, measuring one to
several yards in each dimension, were found
loose on the bottom. This quarrying by the
water in the river bed is pushing the rapids
as well as the falls back toward Lake
Erie"
BY these operations Mr.. Adams tells US
the first accurate data as to the depth of
water in the Canadian channel have been
obtained. A ship drawing sixteen feet Of
water once went over Horseshoe falls, but
the construction of the cofferdams has
shown that this depth is much less than
the maximum. To quote again:
From the head of Niagara river, at
Buffalo, to within a mile of the falls the
deepest part OF the channel has about
twenty feet of water In order to
construct its works the Electrical Develop
ment company carried a crib cofferdam
with length of 2,15O fet out into the river
to a distance of more than 500 feet from
the natural shore line in Queen Victoria
park. Near its outermost part this Golfer
dam reached a depth of twentyfour feet
of water and a bedrock level Of Sis feet
above tide At this point the surface level
of the river was between the first and the
second cascade. Below this cascade, about
$50 feet from the original shore line, the
depth of water was nineteen feet. So
strong was the current between the two
points just mentioned that it was found
necessary to give the stone and timber
cofferdam a total thickness of forty feet.
with six feet of clay puddle in between its
| two sections AT various points off the
shore of Queen Victoria park the velocity
of the river current was found to be eight
\ to seventeen feet per second"
