Monkey.

Monkey was the name of a diminu-
tive slave who was the pet of Andrew
jackson. Monkey was jockey and
a judge of horse flesh, and if Old
Hickory had any weakness at all it
was for horse flesh. Because of him
any victories on the turf, Monkey was
permitted many privileges, one of
which was to indulge his firm con-
Viction that the two greatest men on
earth in the order of their greatness
were Andrew Jackson and Monkey.
A man named Brown who was op-
posed to the Jackson wing of the par
ty In Tennessee had the temerity to
offer himself for governor. He re-
ceived only handful Of votes. A
few days after the contest was settled
Mr.. Brown was in the market at Nash
vile. Monkey was also there. with
a big basket on his arm. Monkey
so carried the basket as to push Mr..
Brown off the sidewalk. The irate
politician raised his cane and shout
ed: Don't you know who l am?
How dare you push me?" The little
negro looked up innocently and cried:

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

Every now and then some natural
list endeayors 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 it's results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet a 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 a 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 1,90u The num-
Der has thus, at least, doubled in q
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1000, divided among 100 genera, This
family is the most numerous of the
class of mammalia.-Wissen fur Allie.

NoRwAy's BOY cLAlRvoYANT.
Traced a Body to a River, Says a
London Report.

An exit aordiny case of clairvoyance
by child has caused considerable
interest here, telegraphs our Christian
la correspondent. About fortnight
ago man living in the Cesterdal val
ley disappeared suddenly from his
home, and all search proved vain
The child, John Floettum, IA years of
age, was sent for eight days after the
mans disa ppearance.
The boy walked around the house
where the man had lived and got
photograph of him, which he carefully
examined. Sitting at table, with his
left hand covering his eyes, he drew
some lines on a slip of paper, the lines
indicating where the man had walked.
The perspiration poured down the
boys face, and he often stopped.
When at last he saw place where
the man had sat down under a big
tree, he was exhausted and had to
give up for the day.
People were sent out to search, with
the boys sketch as their guide The
whole population of the district fol-
lowed, and excitement was high as the
crowd followed the course the man
had taken, step by step, as indicated
by the boy. Night came on before
they reached the tree, and the search
was adjourned till next day, when the
boy himself led the party.
He took them to the tree, and there
found the lost mans handkerchief.
From the tree the boy went straight
to a river, but again he became SO
exhausted that he had to give up.
However, as soon as he came home he
said he could plainly 'see" where the
man was.
Early next morning the search
party, with the boy, took a boat,
which was steered according to the
boys directions. After a while he
suddenly rose and said, Here he lies"
A search was made and the body was
found at the bottom of the river en-
the very spot the boy had pointed out.
The boy only three months ago dis
covered that he possessed this ex-
traordinary sense of clairvoyance.
During this time he has given many
proofs of his strange power A man
went to him and told him that he had
lost a gold ring in field last autumn
as he was loading hay on a cart, and
the boy soon told the man that the
ring could be found among the hay on
MS farm, pointing cut the very place,
where the ring was Immediately
found. The boy has achieved other
featS equally remarkable.

Old Turkish .lnke

Among the many anecdotes related
OF the old Turkish joker, Nasir-Eddin-
khodja, is the following: Khodja
went one evening to the well to draw
water. and looking down to the bot
tom he saw the moon. Quickly he
ran into the house and got a rope
with hook attached to the end of it.
This he lowered into the well. The
hook caught fast on a stone. Khodja
pulled desperately. the hook gave way
and there was the joker fat on his
back staring up into the sky.
Upon my SOUL" he exclaimed, per-
.ceiving the moon, Il have had a bad
fall, but 1 have put the moon back in
its place"

NUMBER OF SUBM1RINES.
There Arc No7o oO4-RusSia Has
Many More than Japan.

While the war between Russia and Japan
was in progress there was a good deal of mys-
terry regarding the strength of each nation in
submarines The matter was satisfactorily
cleared up at the recent meeting in this city of
the Society of Naval Architects and Marine En-
gineers, when a paper was read on the subject
of the development of submarines, by Lieuten-
ant Lawrence Y. Spear. rate OF the United States
navy who is an expert in the construction and
handling of the modern submarine.
Stimulated by the needs of the war with
Japan. Lieutenant Spear said that Russia hur-
riedly accumulated feet of twenty-eight sub
marines. of which nineteen completed and
In commission and nine are building. Thirteen
OF the boats completed of the American de-
sign. seven OF the so-called Holland boats and
six Lake boats. During the war fourteen of these
vessels were transporter from st. Petersburg to
Vladivostok on the Siberian Railway. Special
trucks were built TO accommodate them. and the
boats were shipped in a completed condition. ex-
cept that their coming towers were removed to
permit of their passage under bridges and
through tunnels.
AS the Japanese did not attack Vladivostok.
these vessels had no opportunity to demonstrate
their qualities in actual engagement. They
were. however. kept steadily employed in out
post picket duty. their furthest station being
ABOUT Il hundred ana ufty miles from NlaQl-
gOstok The vessels held their outpost positions
normally for periods of from three to five days,
but were occasionally required TO hold position
for two weeks without returning the base
for supplies. 1t is noteworthy that although
this 1otiIla hurredly assembled and the
crews and commanding officers had inadequate
experience in the management OF submarines.
nevertheless only two serious accidents occurred.
both of these being to boats Of Russian design.
The japanese fleet according to Lieutenant
Spears data consists OF five so-called Holland
boats. Of the following dimensions and particu-
lars: Length. g feet beam. IL feet 1Oi. inches

nent light 1U4 tons; speed on the surface light

radius at reduced speed, ~ knots.
These vessels ordered in the summer OF
1904, and after erection were knocked down for
shipment They were not completed until late
