waters of the river We're diverted to
the drainage canal. Here boys had
discovered the lower limbs of hui

at the knee and with one of the feet

found were wrapped IN an old shirt

supposition. Every Greek detective
in the city was put to work on the

Recent Flight

Friedenrichshaffen Aug. AFTER a
long talk with his chief engineer, Herr
Duerr, Count Zeppelin has given or
ders that work on the construction of

has about decided to build two at the

changes suggested by study of the
ascent of two days ago and other ex-
periences of the past. Private indi-
viduals already have placed the sum
of $4,000 to the credit of Count Zep-
pelin for his new enterprise. The
count is especially gratified at the re-
ceipt of hearty message of sympathy
from the headquarters of the British

Can't TwiddIe Their Thumbs.

The gorilla and chimpanzee, which
belong to the higher order of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there is one thing they can
not do-that is. twiddle their thumbs.
In the gorilla the thumb is short and
does not reach much beyond the bot.
tom Of the first joint of the forefnger.
1t Is very much restricted in its move
ments, and the animal can neither
twiddle his thumbs nor turn them
round so that the tips describe circle
There are the same number of bones In
the hand of a gorilla rs In the hand of
Il man, but the thumbs of the monkey
lave no separate fiexor or bending
muscle. This is why monkey always
keeps the thumb on the same side as
the fingers and never bends it round
any object that may be grasped. In
the gorilla the web between the fingers
extends to the second joint, the fingers
taper to the tips, and there is a calos-
lty on the knuckles on which the ami
NAL rests when walking on all fours.

usual sobriety For instance, what
could be funnier than the method used
by Nicholas VAIN, a gifted minister OF
the Friends who lived in Philadelphia

story is as follows:
The wife of Nicholas VAIN was an
only daughter, and for those days pos
sessed very large Inheritance. She
thought it would be suitable to her
wealth and station to have footman
behind her carriage. This wish being
frequently expressed, her husband at
last promised to comply with it. Ao-
cordingly the next time the carriage
was ordered for the purpose Of making
a stylish call she was gratified to see

rived at her place of designation the

Four young fellows left Kimberley
to try their luck at diamond digging
near Christiana, South Africa, but
were very unfortunate. All but their
last shilling having been spent in buy
ing mealie meal. ways and means had
to be found to replenish the larder.
After considerable discussion and won
der as to where their next food was
coming from, bright idea struck one
of them, who, stalking out of the tent,
said. ''All right, mates. leave it to me-"
Proceeding to the camp store, he asked
for a small bottle of diamond acid, in
which the digger cleans his diamonds
of impurities before selling them.
YES" said the owner, "but surely
you want some stores 2"
''Well, do" said the starving one,
"but intended sending you an order
perhaps tomorrow"
Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do today" was the shopkeep-
er's response. MAKE your order out
and pay when you come up to sell
your diamonds"
The miner acquiesced, and there was
great rejoicings in those poor beggars'
tent when the wagon delivered that
order. 1t Is evident that the store
keeper thought the party had found
some diamonds, or what use could
have been the acid! After this luck
changed. and the account was paid, the
storekeeper joining heartily in the
laugh at how he had been done for the
time being.-London Scraps.

The Only Species In Which the Males

What a sight for a Ceylon elephant
hunter would be the first view Of a
herd of African elephants-all tuskers!
It is a singular thing that Ceylon is
the only part of the world where the
male elephants have no tusks. They
have miserable little grubbers project
ing two or three inches from the upper
Jaw and inclining downward.
Nothing produces either ivory or
horn in fine specimens throughout Cey-
lon. Although some of the buffaloes
have tolerably fine heads, they will
not bear a comparison with those OF
other countries. The horns Of the ma
tive cattle are not above four inches
in length.
The elk and the spotted deer's ant
lers are small compared with deer OF
their size in India. This is the more
singular as it is evident from the geo
logical formation that at some remote
period Ceylon was not an island, but
formed a portion of the mainland It
is thought that there must be elements
wanting In the Ceylon pasturage for
