Animals That Do Not Grow Thirsty

Animals InNI 10 Ntt OTON HN''
There are many different kinds Of an
imals In the world that never In all
their lives sip so much as a drop OF
water. Among these are the llamas
Of Patagonia and the gazelles of the
far east. A parrot lived for fifty-two
years in the zoo at London without
drinking a drop Of water, and many
naturalists believe the only moisture
imbibed by wild rabbits is derived
from green heritage laden with dew.
Many reptlles-serpents, lizards and
certain batrachians-live and thrive IN
places entirely devoid of water, and
sloths are also said never to drink. An
arid district in France has produced a
race of nondrinking COWS and sheep
and from the milk Of the former
Roouefort cheese is made. There is a
species Of mouse which has estab-
lisbed itself on the waterless plains or
western America and which hourishes
notwithstanding the absence Of mols-
ture.

RABBIT WITH MANY HORNS
Thirteen Distinct Bony Protuberances
from Animals Head-one At
tached Firmly to Skull.

Enid, Okla.-L. P. Kidd, who lives
near blackberry, Okla, shot and killed
rare specimen of rabbit recently. On
the scalp and extending from the ears
10 the nose are IL distinct horns of a
hard bony substance. These horns vary
In length from an inch to three and one
half inches, and all grow from the hide,
except the longest one, which springs
from and is directly connected with the
skull bone. When the animal moved
the horns rattled-together similar to the
sound OF rattlesnake.

said Mr.. Kidd, when the dog scared up
this thing, whatever you may call it,
and 1t ran down the rows toward me, rat
Ting Its horns as it ran, so l got aside
and let 1t pass. After it got short dis
lance shot it. My dog goes and gets the
rabbits when l shoot them, but in this
instance when he got to 1t he turned,
tucked his tail and ran bowling in an
opposite direction. The rabbit, IL such
1t could be called, was very fat, and about
a cross between jack and cottontail

Mr.. Kidd has the scalp of the rabbit at
his home. and intends to have it mount

GOTHAM LOSES 10000
DECREASE IN CENSUS RESULT
OF RENT-RAIsINa.
School Figures Show That Landlords
Are Driving Poor to the Suburbs
First Instance in the His
tory of New York.

New York.-The greed of the land
lords in arbitrarily raising rents in
the poorer sections is bearing fruit.
For the first time in century, &C
cording to figures in the hands Of the
board of education, the population Of
Manhattan has ceased to grow, and is
on the decline. 1t Is estimated that
the borough has lost 10000 Inhabitants
in the last year.
These figures are based on the amaz-
ing decline in school attendance in all
of those localities where poverty and
squalor reign. and the mushroom rise
of new communities of the same class
Of people in the outlying boroughs.
On the East side, south of Fourteenth
street, not less than 10000 people have
moved away. From Thirty fourth
street, north to Fifty-ninth, a broad
belt straight across the island has
been depopulated to the extent of
5000 or more.
What poverty has done in the sec
lions mentioned toward reducing the
population, the mo baby" mandate
of the swell apartment proprietors has
done for the locality from Eighteenth
street north to One Hundred and
Tenth street on the West side. There,
where children are not admitted, there
has been a depletion of population on
the basis of the school attendance of
more than 1000.
School officials most conversant
with the situation were unanimous in
asserting that the decrease in school
attendance in the borough was due to
decline in population, and not to
truancy or any other cause. They
point out that what was lost to Man
haitian was gained by Brownsville,
Brooklyn, where 2,400 new pupils,
equivalent to $4,000 population, are in
attendance, Of whom 10000 are on part
time. Three other Brooklyn school
districts have an increased attendance
OF $500, Queens has as many, and the
Bronx $500. Manhattan, on the other
hand, has 5000 fewer pupils than it
had last year.
Never in the history of the city has
such thing occurred before. For
years the annual Increased attendance
In Manhattan has fiuctuated from
$4,000 to 10000.

A. DE LACY WooD has quit the
path of unrighteousness he has
trodden for about steen years and
has gone to preaching. He says
he will never drink again, never

will henceforth be an evangelist.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that his
new resolve will last longer than
some of the papers he started.

THE SOCIETY ANNIVERSARY.
Annual Celebration on Friday Night
of Newberry College Societies.

The following account Of the an
nual celebration Of the literary socle-
ties of Newberry college held on Fri
day night is taken from the Sunday
State under Newberry date Of the
18th:
A large audience assembled at the
opera house last night to participate
in the event which from year to year
is looked forward to with great inter
est by the students and friends of
Newberry college, the anniversary Gel
ebration Of the three literary societies.
Mr.. E. B. Houseal, president of the
Excelsior society presided. The open
ing prayer was offered by Rev. Mr..
Grier. of the Central Methodist
church. Mr.. D. ". Moore was the
Phrenakosmian orator and his subject
was "The Hero Of the Future Mr..
J. E. Long, the orator representing
the Excelsior society, took as his sub
iect "Coronation Without Crown, y
and the subject Of the essay of Miss
Mary Lester, the Philomathean es-
sayist was, "Southern IDEALS
The chief interest centered in the
debate. The question argued was

tanned the affirmative, and the Phren-

That there are many instances IN
England of two or more towns ENJOY
ing the same name is fact that no
body can we'll help knowing, but prob
ably few people are aware Of Il be very
wide extent to which this duplication
Of names prevails. Newton seems to
held the same rank among places as
Smith among individuals, no fewer
than seventy-two towns and villages
in England alone bearing this name.
By including the Newtowns, obvious
ly the same name with slight differ
ence in spelling, the total Is raised to
little short Of ninety. As every town
must have been a ''new town" at
some time or other it shows great
lack of inventive genius among our
ancestors who had the naming Of the
towns. There are sixty-eight places
named Sutton. Our ancestors seem
to have found the four points Of the
compass Of great service in the no.
menclature of their towns, for besides
the Suttons there are ffty-one West
ons, forty-nine Nortons and seventeen
Eastons. To these last should be add
ed thirty-eight Astons, another form
Of the name very common in the west

A GOLDFISH FARM.
A New Industry Which Aims to Pro
duce Freaks.

Saturday Evening Post.
( The first goldfish farm to be estab-
llshed on an important scale IN this
country has recently been started in
the neighborhood Of Washington. Dis
trict Of Columbia. It comprises p
acres of water space, divided into A
large shallow ponds. bitches are dug
III the bottom Of the ponds so that
when the latter are drained the fish
es find their way into the trenches and
are easily scooped out by means Of
! nets.
The scale on which the industry is
; conducted may be judged from the
fact that $500 pounds Of cornmeal
are fed every months to the fishes.
Think what large number Of gold
fish must be required to consume in
50 days nearly two tons of corn meal !!
This seems, indeed, to be the kind Of
food they like best, and they thrive
on it amazingly gly.
Half century ago goldfish in this
country were worth so cents apiece,
and sometimes more. At the present
time the ordinary ones are sold by the
producer to dealers at from So to $6
100, according to size. These quo
tations, however, apply only to the
common, everyday article, much high
er prices being obtained for the freaks
with fan-tails, fancy fins and other
eccentricities.
At the farm above mentioned, at
tempts-the first up to date in this
country now being made to pro-
pagate such fancy goldfish, the re-
quisite stock being obtained from
Japan. But the experiment is beset
with not few difficulties, inasmuch
as the progeny of the freaks have al
ways a tendency to revert to the nor.
NAL and less valuable form, so that
Ionly Is per cent Of a brood, perhaps,
will turn out satisfactory, inheriting
the eccentricities of the selected par
ents. Furthermore, the fancy fish, be-
ing impeded in their movements by
their clumsy fins and tails, are Ii
able to destruction by birds and water
snakes, There is no enemy so dread
ed by the goldfish breeder as the wa
ter snake, which devours the scaly
live stock in great numbers.
Not only the fins, but also the bod
les of the fancy goldfish are modified
by the breeder, so that the freaks
are made to assume all sorts Of queer
shapes. The newest variety has eyes.
