THEY WON'T SHUT DOORS.
And They Will Ride Backward, Re-
ports Traveller Of EnqIishmen.

Travellers returning from England
tell Of two habits of the people of that
country which impressed them. One
is the average Englishman's aversion
to shutting the door behind him.
II don't know how it is in the Eng
lish houses" remarked one who re-
turned recently from abroad, for I
was not in one OF them, but stayed
in hotel in London where there were
a good many English people, and a
dozen times daily l had to get up and
shut door to keep the draught away.
1T didn't make any difference
whether it was servant or a guest
who went through, the door was left
open. This was in the spring of the
year, too, when the weather was chill
ly. I noticed the same thing in rail-
way coaches and hotels of smaller
towns"
The other English popularity is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with it's back to the engine
every time, plant himself down in it
with every evidence of comfort and
look wonderingly at anybody who
picks out seat facing the direction
the train is going. Not once did one
American travelling in England see a
native choose a seat facing the front
of the train unless there were no
other seats.

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to TabuIate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalian" the species Of rodents
known in 1880 were only go in num-
Der; now they are 1900. The num-
Der has thus, at least, doubled in q
years. The number of living species
Of this creature now known is about
1900. divided among 100 genera. This
family is the most numerous of the
class Of mammalia.-Wissen fur ALE
