SCIENTIFIC PUZZLES.
Some Queer Things One Learns In the
Study of Chemistry.

Every one knows that the diamond Is
only charcoal crystalized, but there
are a great many other things in na
ture that, though possessing widely
different properties. are composed OF
exactly equal quantities OF the same
elements,
The white OF an egg and rattlesnake
poison are formed of identically the
same amounts Of the same elements.
The oil of roses and common coal gas
are each formed alike. both being com
posed OF four atoms of hydrogen and
four atoms Of carbon.
Sugar and gum arabic are likewise
brothers of the same weight and tex
ture.
All the hydrocarbons. known to sci
ence as n combination Of sixteen atoms
Of hydrogen and ten atoms of carbon
are alike in their composition. To
enumerate some--oil of orange. lemon.
cloves, ginger and black pepper.
The suggested explanation of these
peculiarities is that the atoms are plac
ed differently toward one another In
the molecules Of the different sub
stances.
other things just as peculiar are evl
dent when certain substances are unit
ed chemically. Thus hydrogen gas
which Is odorless, and nitrogen gas
which Is also odorless. when united g.

SMALLEST BEAST OF PREY.
II lss True Weasel, but Is Only About
Six Inches Iona.

The smallest carnlvorous animal In
the world is an American weasel which
Is numerous In northwest Canada and
Alaska and is occasionally seen about

but only six inches long. with tail
only one inch In length All its upper
surface Is I'm summer pure umber
brown. but the throat. abdomen and
inside OF the legs are pure white, and
unlike any other weasel, II has no black
at the end OF the tail; hence, although
the animal turns white I'm the north In
winter. 1t does not show the black
tipped tail which characterizes an err
mine pelt, and so it Is not sought by
trappers and fur traders.
This fact. with its small size and Sc
cretive life, has made its habits very
little known, but they seem to be much
like those OF other weasels. 1t feeds
on insects, which 1t finds alive I'm sum
mer and In winter digs out OF rotten
logs; upon small birds, ETC., but lives
mainly on mice. These IL can follow
into their narrowest holes and run
ways, for II Is scarcely larger than a
field mouse Itself, or. striking the trail
of one, II will trace all its wanderings
and as soon as 1t catches sight OF It's
prey will spring after 1t with amazing
and fatal rapidity.
1t is frequently caught by naturalists
In their mouse traps. An old Indian
told w III. Osgood OF the biological
survey. who thus captured one in south
ern Alaska, that 1t was promise Of
rare good fortune. His brother, he re-
lated, had taken one when a boy and
had in consequence become big chief.
