One of the most inhuman crimes ever perperated in this vicinity was discov. cred the other day on the Jersey side or the river, not far from Weehauken. Some laborers saw something that look. ed like a bundle hanging from a long rope over the edge of the Palisades winch, at that point, rise more than 2 hundred feet above the narrow banks. Hauling upon the sixty-foot rope they brought the bundle to the top of the rocks. It proved to be the body of an infant tied into an apron. A medical examination showed that the child had been tied in the apron and had been allowed to starve, suspended from the rope the upper end of which was fast ened to tree. The authorities are making streuous efforts to find the in human perpetrator of this crime.

 Society has been cheated out of what promised to be a highly seasoned sen sation. The marriage of certain so- eiety girl to a bogus marquis and the discovery of the deception after the wedding furnished an ever welcome topic of gossip and malicious insinua. tions for a day or so, but fortunately the matter ended tamely and the sen sation "petered out !" To the utter disappointment of the "setD it turned out that the bogus marquis was not a penniless adventurer like some other ''noblemen who married into Amer ican society, but a wealthy man who had bought or, rather had thought he had bought the title and possessed a legal right to it.

 It has often been said that "tbere IS safety in numbers,'' but there are cases on record which tend to show that it is decidedly unsafe to bank upon the truth of that adage. The owner of laundry in this eity had an exPeHenee the other day which sat ished hlm that the theory of this adage IS fundamentally wrong. Business was poor and collections, probably owing to the election excitement, unusually bad.

FOXES HAVE SCALES.
A Naturalist Compares These Ami
mails With the Reptiles,

A Naturalist Compares These AMI
mails With the Reptiles.
II. Toldt, a Vienncses naturalist, says
that foxes have scales as we'll as hair
upon their skins. From this he argues
that they have descended from ances-
tors bearing horny skins. like the arna-
dillos and the ant eaters.
Every one who has examined a rat
closely knows that its tail is scaly
throughout its length. Those who are
familiar with wild boars know also
that there are parts of their bodies on
which there arc distinct scales. Wher-
ever the scales are found ON these
creatures with llails as we'll, these
hairs grow in tufts at regular inter
vais between the scales. AS this form
of growth is often found in animals
which have no scales it is believed
that when it exists it proves origin
from Il race which once bore scales.
Especially is this true of the fox. If
his skin be examined closely it will be
found that the hairs are arranged In
groups of three lunches, each bunch
containing fourteen or fifteen hairs
and that the skin has the appearance
of that of a scaled ant eater from which
the scales have been plucled Under
The microscope it looks scay Herr
Toldt says the fox is one of the mann
mails that can be most correctly com.
pared with the reptiles, being of Il
primitive and very Slightly specialized
type, although famous for its cunning.
