without any elaborate sort Of system

near being arrested on the cars from
Liverpool to London.
when we got off the steamer and
tried to find the widow who robbed
dad OF his roll of money, but never
found her, we were about the last pas
sengeFs to reach the train, and when
We got ready to get on we found these
English cars that open on the sides,
and they put you into a box stall with
some other live stock, and lock you
In, and once in awhile guard opens
the door to see if you are dead from
suffocation, or have been murdered by
the other passengers. Dad kicked on
going in one of the kennels the first
thing, and said he wanted a parlor
car; but the guard took dad and gave
him shove, and tossed me in on TOD
Of dad, and two other passengers and
woman in the compartment snick-
cred, and dad wanted to fight all of
EN- except the woman.
When the door closed dad told the
guard he would walk on his neck when
the door opened, and that he was not
an entry in dog show, and he want
cd kennel all TO himself, and asked
for dog biscuit. Gee, but that guard
vas mad, and he gave dad look that
started the train going, | whispered
70 dad to get out his revolver, because
the other passengers looked like hold
up men, and he took his revolver out
OF his satchel and put it in his pistol
pocket, and looked fierce, and the
woman began to act faint, while the
passengers seemed to be preparing to
Jump On dad if he got violent. When
ue train stopped at the first station
got out and told the guard that the
ola gentleman in there was from
Helena, Mont, and that he had a
reputation from st. Paul to Portland,
and then l held up both hands the
way train robbers make passengers
hold up their hands.
When ! went back in the car dad
vas talking to the woman about heI

70 ask her how long she had been so
Osautlful, when the guard came to the

passengers pulled out a pair Of hand,

Blue Ivory.

Fossil or blue ivory is sometimes
found in commerce, and is used occa-,
slonally in the manufacture Of jewelry.
It is evidently from the tusks of ante
deluvian mammoths buried in the
earth for thousands of years, during
which time they have become slowly
penetrated with metallic salts, which
have given them a peculiar blue color,
allowing them to be used as tuTquoises.

The Moose at the Museum.

The large moose which has been
feature of the Museum for the past five
years, has changed his quarters and is
now to be found at the extreme south
end of the nave, encased in glass. His
surroundings here are such as ne would
choose during the summer and early fall.
The sphagnum moss which is to be
found in most northern swamps, covers
the ground, in some places green, IN
others gray and brown. In the fore
ground small balsam fir is growing,
and usnea lichen or Spanish moss, as it
is commonly called, hangs from its upper
branches. The lower limbs have died
and fallen off, for the thick growth OF
underbrush in the swamps prevents
symmetrical development OF any tree
Behind the moose is a young White
birch, and this also has branches and
leaves on the upper part of the trunk.
The bark is ragged and torn, indicating
that animals have brushed roughly
against it, and that the limbs OF other
trees have injured it. A small clump OF
larch trees, which are the most charac-
teristic of the swamp growths, stands
near the birch. These have died, their
leaves have fallen, and moss and hchehs
are making them things of beauty. A
redstart nest has nestled among them,
using the lichens from the branches to
cover the outside of her nest and render
it almost indistinguishable to prying
eyes. Beside the moose is an old log,
nearly covered with the green messy
growth which is especially partial to
fallen trees. A clump of pitcher plants,
not yet in bloom, is nearby, and the
brightest touch in this swamp scene is
the bunch of cotton grass in full flower.
Some of these feathery balls are so heavy
that they have broken their slender
stems and are lying on the ground while
others are stiff and haunt their bright
ness in the swamp, where nearby all
living things are subdued in coloring.
These accessories of the moose were
designed and executed by W. E. Balch o.
Lunenburg, who has had charge of all
the mounting and taxidermy in the
Museum.
