The Puma and Its Names.

The large American cat known as the
puma is very rich in names. which
fact leads to no little confusion in the
minds Of young students Of natural
history. The early Puritan settlers In
New England named the animal the
painter. meaning, of course, panther.
because in shape and size it strongly
resembles this fierce carnivore Of the
old world. 1t also received the name
catamount, which was shortened down
from cat Of the MOUNTAIN. The red
dish color of the fur Of some of the
specimens suggested the name red ii
ger, while in certain places it was Civ

tain lion. In South America one Of the
native names was cuguacuara, but we
have very sensibly Knocked off four
of the six syllables and shortened it. to
cougar. The puma has such a wide
range. being found from Canada to
Patagonia, that naturally enough it re-
ceives a different name In the various
countries and localities which it in
habits Six names for one animal. No
wonder readers of books of travel get
confused.

Reason For Ii.

At a debating society some time ago
the Irish question was discussed. An
English doctor was sustaining the ar

had 300 Irish patients on his books and
Of these only thirty paid him for at

"Sorr." said an Irishman, who rose
with flushed cheek to defend his coun-
trymen-'sorr. there is never an effect

An Enalish Billion.

In England a billion is million
times million. This is quickly writ
ten and quicker still pronounced. but
no man is able to count it. You will
count 100 or ITO a minute. but let us
suppose that you go up as high as 200
minute. hour after hour. At that
rate you would count $4,000 an hour,
2SS.000 day or 105,120,0OO in year.
Let us suppose now that Adam, at the
beginning of his existence, had begun
to count. had continued to do so and
was counting still. Had such thing
been possible he would not yet have
finished the task Of counting a billion.
To count a billion would require a per-
son to count 200 minute for period
OF 9,512 years 542 days hours 20

continuously. But suppose we allow

Curious Niqht Wells.

A curious form of water hole is found
in the desert of Western Australia
dry by day. but yielding an abundant
supply of water by night. The flow of
water is preceded by hissings and
sounds Of rushing air. The phenome-
non is discussed by DR.. Malcolm Mac
laren, who has located and examined
one of these wells. He found that the
water supply occurred in long, mar
row trench, at the bottom of which
was thin plate of gneiss. separated
by cavity from the main rock mass
beneath. Apparently the heat, of the
day causes this plate to expand 10 the
form of a depression, into which the
water retreats. When it cools and con-
tracts at night it forces first air and
then water back into the trench.-Scl-
