The largest grasshoppers are found
In South America, where some specl-
mems reach a length OF five inches.
with spread Of wings of ten inches.
The small lake Of Sewalik, in Alas
ka, has regular tides, probably due to
underground connection with the sea.
and the water of the bottom is salt
while that Of the surface is fresh.
The effect of ultraviolet rays Of
light on some kinds OF glass is strlk-

Unlike some round fishes, the fiat
species keep to the bottom Of the sea
and move along 1t, travelling great dis
tances. Records have been obtained
showing that plaice have travelled
eighty-eight miles in twenty-elght
days, or an average of not less than
three miles a day.
An Austrian chemist, Doctor Zirn.
has invented process whei eby casein,
the essential element of cheese and
butter, may be solidlfed and shaped
into the various articles that are now
made of celluloid. 1t is said that this
new product possesses many advant-
ages over celluloid. 1t is not inflam-
mable, so that the danger from fire
sometimes encountered in the use OF
articles made of celluloid is entirely
avoided. The new industry is now
being developed at Surgeres, France,
one Of the great centers for the manu-
facture of butter and cheese.
Recent information indicates that
Cherrapunji, in Assam, and Dehunja.
in the Kamerun, hold the record for
heavy rainfall. During the period
from 1895 to 1908 inclusive, the aver
age yearly rainfall at Cherrapunji was
no less than SO feet 91a inches. FOI
the same period at Debunja the aver
age yearly fall was "a feet 3h inches
The rainiest year ever recorded al
Cherrapunji was 1851, when 4Sh feel
of rain fell during the twelve month";
On June 16, 1902, at Debunja, almost
18 inches of rain fell during that single
day. These immense falls of rain am
attributed to the influence Of tropical
oceans approaching close to lOftI
mountains.
Scientists are again on the trail Of
the missing link" Two years agS
certain marks were found on a bloch
of sandstone near Warrnambool, II
Australia, which were thought to b
the imprints of the footsteps Of a pre-
historic man. At the time this ide-
was ridiculed; but plaster cast wa
sent to Germany, and the inevitabl,
German savant went out to invest
gate the matter He now reports that
in his opinion, they were genuine hui
man imprints, and this, taken in con
junction with the extraordinary human
skulls to be seen In the WarrnambOO

= link between humanity and the ap
l. has been discovered. The idea OF th
German doctor is that at an earl.
y period the sandstone where the i'm

level beach on which, perhaps, prehia

NO DIVORCE FOR Her
COUNTESS CBTELLANF, FORMER
LY MIS- ANNA GOULD.
Legal Separation Is the Hardest Blow
and WigRe swuns-PrOther George
Gould FOO Cunning to Give Count
Properly Wife Rought-Foni to Get
Some Cash.

Pans, Feb. 6.-Countess Boni de
Castdlane, formerly Miss Anna Gould
of New York, who is suing her hus-
banl the count, for decree of separa-
tio1, is reported to be making prepare
tiohs to return to the United States to
join her family. It is understood that
the count has decided not to oppose
the action for separation, and the only
matter that remains to be arranged is
the monetary settlement, which, it is
reported, is to be made. Just how
much the count expects to get is hard
to say, but gossip here is to the effect
that the question of settling an allow
ance on her husband has been referred
by the countess to her brother George
Gould, and as the latter has never had
very much use for his titled brother in
law, if this report should prove true,
the count will hardly fare very well
financially.
Boni Will Not Get Property.
The countess has been in close com
municatiOn with her brother and
members of the Gould family in Ameri'
ca for some time by cable, and they
are fully cognizant of her plans. It is
reported here that her suit for sepa
ration, instead of for absolute divorce
was begun at the instance of her
brother George, who pointed out to
her, according to rumors here, that
separation would be to her advantage
and would preserve for her son prop
erty bought with the Gould millions in
France, which otherwise, under the
French law, would revert to the count
That the count is decidedly disap
pointed that his wife would not sue fol
an absolute divorce, is current gossip
and it appears, on the surface at least
as though George had scored heavily
once again over his titled relative.

While the police who are prosecuting
the search refuse TO give out any infor-
nation about the case it is understood
that the jewels were stolen fror1 wo-
man very well known in New York So
ciety and that the theft occurred either
at her town house here or at her villa
in Newport.
Most magnificent of the pieces of
jewelry which are included in the
stolen treasures is stomacher. a
girdle of fire, in which only the finest
diamonds are set. They range in size
up to six carats OF this the detectives
have a photograph which indicates
that the missing jewel piece is one of
the world-famous collections of per
feet gems There are twenty-five other
articles of diamond jewelry in the list
Of missing gems. These also are set
with very large and very fine stones
-Four carats Is about the smallest of
those set as solitaires and other
stones run to six carats and larger.
Who has been the victim of the rob-
berry is secret which the detectives
are guarding most closely.
