appears that when the great astronomers body
admitted to sepulture in the Florentine Church
Of the Holy Cross. in 1877, Vincenzio Capponi a
preate, cut off with his hand the two fingers
which had written many beautiful things" In
other words he stole the right thumb and fore
finger. while another admirer 1lched the left
thumb which at last is in the Florentine
Museum, while the two Capponi fingers. passing, on

fingers should join that already In the museum
Worse still, payment for them is refused, and pro-

Whales Sense of Hearing.

1t seems perfectly evident that whales
must hear when in the water. This in
ference is confirmed 10y the comparative
ly small development of the other sense
organs. The eye, for instance, is very
small. and can be of little use even at the
comparatively small depths to which
whales are now believed to descend.
Again, the sense of smell, Judging from
the rudimentary conditions of the olfac-
tory organs, must be in abeyGnce: and
whales have no sense organs comparable
to the lateral line system Of fishes. Con.
sequently. it would seem that when be.
low the surface of the water they must
depend chiefly upon the sense of hearing.
Probably this sense is so highly devel-
oped as to enable the animals. in the
midst of the vibrations made hy the
screw like movemnts of the tnil or
fiukes, Ia distinguish the sound Tor tho
vibrations made by the impact of water
against rocks. even in dead calm. and
in the case of piscivorous species. to rec
ognize by the pulse in the water the
presence of n Shoal of fish.
Failing this explanation. it is difficult
to imagine how whales can find their
way about in the semi-darkness and
avoid collisions with rocks and rock
bound coasts.-London Field.

Denuded days, louder voice than theirs
Proclaims thee by the title of thy dreams:

Upreared on wrecks and fragments of the

HOW CHINCHILLAS ARE CAUGHT.
Little Fur Bearing Animal That Is in
Danger of determination.

The chinchilla is one of the very few
really valuable furbearing animals found
in South America. It's range is extreme
" limited, the little burrowing animal be-
ing discernible in numbers only along
the higher attitudes of the Andes noun
tains in Chile and Bolivia, where 1t has
hitherto fairly abounded but is now in
danger of extinction owing to the fash
ionable favor accorded the fur and the
consequent high price of the skins.
AS the officials in Chile and Bolivia
realize the importance for those coun-
tries of perpetuating the chinchillas,
laws for its protection are being passed.
AS the little creature inhabits wild and
rugged districts, in instances almost in
accessible to any save those familiar
with the rocky mountain trails, the chin
chilla hunter conducts his operations
quite fearless of the game wardens.
Unless the demands of the fur wearer
and values decline materially we may ex-
pect to witness the determination of the
chinchila within brief period, says The
Fur News Should this undesirable re-
suit be Appropriated, the demand would
cease for lack of supply and the chin
chilla would doubtless again multiply
rapidly.
During the season of 1905 the collec-
ton reached the total, in round numbers,
OF ZlSUUO SKINS. OF Wnlcn al out ABOUT
$1,000 skins secured for Paris were
shipped to New York for local consump-
ton or distribution abroad.
The season for catching the chinchilla
runs from January to June and is in
dustriously conducted. The chinchilla
hunters go out in parties of three or
four. accompanied by about half a
dozen well trained dogs and nothing else,
no guns or traps being used, as trapping

part of the country The dogs. resem-
bling our fox terrier. catch and deftly
kill them. These dogs are so vel
trained in this work of destruction that
they rarely injure the fur to an ap
preciable extent.
As soon as the chinchillas have beer
dispatched rs the dogs the men remove
the skins and rather crudely stretcl
them to dry. After hunt of from foul
to six weeks hunters and dogs max,
their way back to the coast with theii
catch, and the men dispose of the skins
from three to fifteen dozen. according t.
luck. and after few days spent il
town in riotous living the hunters go of
on another expedition to some other par
of the mountain where they are reason
ably sure chinchillas abound and COL
den harvest awaits their gathering.
