a chna wonder.

The French Academy Of Sciences In
lI29 examined the case OF n French
lad only seven years old who. In all
respects save that OF intelligence, was
the equal OF n man of twenty. Ills re-
markable physical development began
when he was two years old. AT four
he could do the farm work of a boy OF
fifteen or sixteen, and ut seven he was
a fully grown man. Although his
physique was thus remarkably devel-
oped, his intelligence was no greater
than that OF children OF the same age.
He died before he was twenty. As Is

his strength faded away,
and he became premnturely old before
other men would attain maturity.

1t is easy for even good man to be
mistaken.
Daniel Webster was good man. Yet
Daniel was positive that n steam rail
road could never be made to work.
He was quite willing to concede that
a locomotive might be able to skate
along at a pretty good clip while at
tached to a string of cars running on
iron or wooden rails.
But having admitted this much, he
arose to call attention to an insur-
mountable obstacle to the further sue
cess of the undertaking. He said the
min. once under way, could not be
ytopped-tliat It would keep right on
going und ultimately crash Into some
thing and XIII everybody aboard.
Thus we see that even with the best
intentions 1t is easy to make mistakes.
Daniel Webster didn't own canal
BOAT stock, nor was he for any other
selfish reason DESTROYS that railroads
should not come into existence. He
simply was expressing an opinion
about something he had never seen In
operation. And unfortunately for his
reputation as a railway expert he saw
things TINT weren't there. = Detroit

Colobus occIdentalis. Is perhaps the
most peculiar. This monkey is cover

SO handsome that the skin is much
priced by the natives for making head

It would seem to preclude conceaIment,
but its value is ut once evident when
the animal Is seen at home. 1t lives
In high forests, where the trees have
black trunks and branches, draped
with long gray masses OF beard moss

the branches they resemble the Iichen
