Dividing the Trout Family.

The majority of naturalists divide
the salmo, or salmon. tribe into four
species-the salmon. the sea trout, the
dinavian biologists reduce these four
to two species-salmon and trout-con-
sfdering all the different kinds of trout
as mere varieties of one species. There
is little doubt about the identity Of the
lake trout and the brook trout, and ex-
periments by Mr. Cligny with the fish
of northern France make it appear
that there is no more doubt about the
identity of the common trout and the
sea trout
If there be u difference between the
adults Of the two varieties there is
none between the fry. The fry of the
two kinds cannot be distinguished one
from the other until the trout, leaving
fresh water. seeks brackish water in
preparation for acclimatizing itself in
salt This takes place from May to
July. during which time the fry of the
common or brook trout if brought into
brackiSh water. gradually assumes the
livery of the salt water fish. There is
no room for doubt. according to this
French BIOLOGIST. that the sea trout and
the brook trout are one and the same
species. The sea trout are branch
Of the brook trout. If some of them
are Matched as sea trout. many others
are Matched as brook trout. and these
young fish in descending the rivers be-
come true sea trout.-New York World.

A WAR OF MAPS.
Bolivia Wiped Out England and the
British Isles,

British Isles.
Bolivia is the only country that ever
wiped England off the map" said
Frank Robertson. 1t came about this
way: The British ambassador several
years ago gave Il dinner for the official
and social circle people of Bolivia.
when they arrived at the embassy
they found that he was not married
to the woman seated at the head Of the
table. and they left. In the name OF
his government he demanded an apol-
ogy. whereupon the government gave
him twenty-four hours to get out of
the country.
"Inasmuch as little Bolivia is way
or the ocean and practically lost in
the eternal mountains Great Britain
could not by guns get the retraction
that she wanted. but her mapmak-
ers got revenge by issuing maps who'll
~ eliminating Bolivia.
Finally this inforina ton reached Bo-
Hyia. whereupon with a stroke of the
pen new maps were ordered for the Bo-
livian government and the Bolivian
schools. They showeu more ocean
than any other maps ever printed The
British isles had been sunk into the
sea. And so far as the people and
school children of Bolivia are concern

Napoleon at Dinner.

Napoleon was no epicure. He usu-
ally drank nothing but diluted cham
berlin and was no Judge of wine. He
liked plain dinners-boiled or roast
chicken, mutton chops, grilled neck
of mutton, haricot beans or lentils.
His table manners were not very re-
fined. He would use his fingers in
lieu of fork or spoon and would dip
his bread in the sauce, the dish being
then. passed around to guests, who had
to dispense with squeamishness. The
bread had to be particularly good. He
ate fast, quitting the table in twelve
minutes and leaving Josephine and
the company to take their time When
he dined alone he commonly took only
eight or ten minutes. Indigestion was
the natural consequence of this speed,
and he had sometimes to stretch him
self at full length ON the carpet till
the pain abated. He detested physic
and professed to disbelieve in it, a
subject of playful discussion with his
doctors. Constant never knew him
to be obliged to keep his bed a whole
day. He was very sensitive to. cold
and had fires and warm beds all the

CID CURE FOR PARALYSIS.
German Professor Says Ambidextrous
Han Can SAFE Himself.

Man must become ambidextrous,' y
declares Srof. Manfred Fraenkel, Ber-
Inns celebrated authority On the brain.
"He must be taught TO employ his
left hand as frequently and as adj
ro;tly as his right hand.
"TAen both henispheres OF his
brain will be equally developed, equal
ly nourished, will send forth equally
powerful nerve stimuls ton. And if
the left half of his brain be damaged
by injury or disease. the right half,
having been constantly stimulated by
active use, will continue to act. So
the number of men plunged in intel
lectual gloom or rendered helpless by
paralysis will be vastly decreased
Fraenkel says positively, as the result
of his researches, that had they learn
ed to use their left hands many per-
sons now helpless paTalytics would be
useful members of society, think to the
right lobes of their brains. He
goes even further, and makes the as
tonishing statement that many cases
of seeming paralysis can be cured by
the simple expedient of teaching the
sufferer to use the left hand.

MASTODONS.
Why Their Bones Are Found; Near
Salt or Sulphur Springs.

Why Their Bones Are Found. Near
Salt or Sulphur Springs.
wherever you find salt or sulphur
springs" says gentleman connected
with the United States geological sur
vey. yen may expect to find the bones
of nlastodons and other huge creatures
that have now become extinct. Many
persons suppose that the presence of
these bones in great numbers indicates
that the animals had u sort of common
cemetery. like the llamas of Chile,
which when they felt death coming on
always made for the nearest stream or
pond and. if they could get there, died
in the water.
THAT, how ever, is likely only su-
perstition. The mastodon bones in a
salt or sulphur marsh indicates that
the animals went there to drink the
water and occasionally one got mired
ard WAS suffocated. The great num-
bers of the bones do not prove that a
whole herd of mastodons was drowned
ut once. but that one being mired ev-
cry year or so during several centuries
would in time cause a great accumula-
ton Of bones. Missouri has a bone
marsh at Sulphur Springs; there is q
great mine of them at the Salt Springs
il Kentucky and at several places in
Ohio and Indiana where there are
saline springs. A great spring in Flor
ida. one of the four or five huge out
let's which are grouped under the name

Seneca on Endurance.

There can be no easy proof of vir-
tue. Fortune lashes and mangles us.
Well, let us endure it. 1t is not cruel
ty. 1t is struggle, IN which the
oftener we engage the drawer we shall
become. The strongest part of the
body is that w.1ieh is exercised by the
most frequent use. We must intrust
ourselves to fortune to be hardened
by her against herself. BY degrees she
will make us match for herself.
Familiarity with danger leads us to
despise it. Thus the bodies of sailors
are hardened by endurance of the sea,
and the hands of farmers by work !;
the arms of soldiers are powerful to
hurl darts; the legs OF runners are &C
tive. That part of each man which he
exercises is the strongest. So by en-
durance the mind becomes able to de-
spise the power of misfortunes.

The ANGLER Fish.

A singular superstition about the
angler fish is entertained in some parts
l3f Sweden (Bohuslan). according to
Malm and Smitt. 1T is so feared by
aany that the tackle is cut as soon as
he monster reaches the surface, and
Is captor hurries home in order to get
tore. if possible. before the misfor-
tue portended by the monster over
tsles him" The extreme Of misfor-
tHe-death-is believed by some to be
inicated. Nilsson tells that the Swed-
isl fishermen on the banks believe
tha ON board the vessel OH which an
anger is taken some one is doomed to
die soon. They therefore never or
harly ever take the angler on board,
but refer to cut the line and thus lose
the COX with the fish,
