The story OF GATHERINGS purchase OF
Diderot's library is interesting. II is
creditable TO her tact and her generos-

price Of his library. Catherine III.
offered him $4,000 and named as
condition Of the bargain that her pur-

his death. Thus Dlderot. without ieav-

in his own library AS her librarian

One year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her

With due respect for others. the

thing like telling a falsehood occasion

when It comes to plotting and schem-
Ing TO defraud some one the task be-
comes distasteful. The equal Of the
japanese in initiative and foresight,
he is much their superior when integ-

Tho Eyes Of the Musk OK,

The skull of the bull musk OK is re.
markable for the development OF the
eye orbits. which project sufficiently
beyond the plane OF the frontal bones
to compensate for the interruption the
horns would otherwise make IN the
range OF vision. The musk OK. how.
ever, does not seem to rely greatly on
keenness OF sight. far less on acute
ness of hearing. for the ears are OF
small dimensions and are completely
covered by the heavy growth OF fur
about them. The organs OF scent are
evidently more highly developed. and
they exact Of the hunter his greatest
