The Hippopotamus.

At times the hippopotamus exudes
what has been described as "bloody
sweat" Microscopically examined, the
emulation is found to consist of a great
number of minute colorless bodies, re-
sembling the colorless corpuscles of the
blood, and smaller number Of pink
colored bodies, made up Of some crys-
talline substance forming clusters of
rodlike and triradiate form. These, be-
coming dissolved, give the surrounding
fluid medium deeper pink color than
that observable before dissolution took
place. Both the colored and colorless
matter appear to be exuded by special
pores in the skin which display activi-
ty only Immediately after the creature
has left the water

"Typhoon" is by no means the only
word for storm that has come to the
English language through Portuguese
and Spanish. Others are tornado
and hurricane" which Shakespeare
could still write hurricane" Old time
Englishmen, at any rate, spelled the
last word in at least as many ways as
Shakespeare and other people spelled
his name, and some Of the spellings
indicate frantic attempts to make the
word suggest derivation inte1ligible
to the English mind. OF such are ''furi-
cane" ."hurlecan," "Herocane'' and
Harry Cain" Even hurricane was
finally adopted no doubt as suggesting
hurry" The original was the Carib
'ehuracan," or "furacan," the navigators
of Portugal and Spain having been in
strumental only in bringing it to Eng
land from the west, as they brought
"typhoon" from the east.

BUILDING TO BE RESUMED.

Denver, Oct 9.-Before the week is
out the clank of workmen S tools will
again be heard at the auditorium. At
a meeting in the mayor office attend
ed by the members of the board of pub,
lie works, City Attorney Lindsey, As
sistant City Attorney Sanborn and the
attorneys for the bond companies, all
details in regard to the new contracts
drawn up were agreed upon and they
will be signed today by all parties con
cerned. Building Inspector Wilson,
architect for the structure, left last
night to join Ralph w. Smith in Chi
cago, whence they will proceed to In
dianapolis to arrange about the steel.
According to the new contracts, the
building must be finished May /, 1908,
and the bond companies agree to pay
a penalty of $50 for each delinquent
day over that. As the national Repub-
lican convention meets in June and the
Democratic usually month later, the
convention league can readily assure
the committeeman of both parties that
the big hall will be completed to wei
come them, if they say the word. The
old contracts provided for completion
on February l, 1908.

over the building for nearly month
past have entirely disappeared and,
with the plaudits of the boosters drown
ing the frenZied outbursts of the twin
yellow journals, the work will proceed
as smoothly as it should The three
