GRACE DARLING REAL HEROINE
Bravery of Frail Girl Thrilled All
EngIand-Died Of Consumption
at an Early Age.

Grace Darling, one of the greatest
heroines Of British marine history,
won undying fame when but twenty
three years old, and Of frail physique,
by accompanying her father, and in
spring him to the effort of saving the
lives of some passengers on ship
wrecked in a terrific gale that swept
the seas near her island home.
The Forfarshire sailed from Hull
with % cabin passengers, 10 steer
age passengers and a crew Of 20 on
a day in September, 1888. Passage
was made through the Farne islands
channel, and the ship entered Ber-
wick bay. Here the gale was at its
worst, and the ship was swept on the
Farne island rocks.
The mate and eight Of the crew,
with one cabin passenger, hurried
away in q lifebOat. The screams OF
the other survivors were heard by
Grace Darling. When her father hes
itated to launch their lifeboat on the
heavy sea, she jumped into 1t, and he
followed her. On the first trip they
rescued nine, and on later trip her
father saved four more. The British
government gave her money grant,
and the public, thrilled by the story,
raised n huge subscription list. -Four
years later Grace Darling died of con-
sumption.

Home Of Giant Creatures.

The giant rat of the Solomon islands
is a remarkable animal-a great, fierce
creature, much bigger than q rabbit
and causing endless mischief to
plantations and stores. Another ami
NAL giant Is a bull-frog, seldom
found less than two and half to
three pounds in weight, and with a
crOak as mighty In volume as size.
Another giant is an oyster, tough
but still edible mollusc, that covers
a large-size dinner plate. One Is
quite enough for meal, and It is
eaten with a knife and fork, like a
steak.
Animals are not plentiful, but Ash
and birds abound In great varieties.
There are many kinds Of pigeons, in
Guiding one of great beauty Of plumage
with long tail, and unknown In any
other part of the world.

Snails and Screws.

Nearly all inventions have been sug-
gested by natural objects.
Fremont of the French School Of
Mines, points out an interesting ex-
ample in the case Of the screw, the
fundamental idea Of which, he be-
lieves, was suggested to primitive
man by the spiral shape of the edible
snail.
1t was not the shape of the shell
that suggested the screw, but the
spiral motion which 1t is necessary to
give to the body Of the snail in order
to withdraw 1t from the shell. This
at once showed that an object of a
screw shape embedded in a solid pow
erfuly resisted attempts to withdraw
1t by straight pull.
The hint was enough, and the
screw became one Of the earliest of
mans inventions.

ORIGINAL HORSE HAD CLAWS
Skeletons of Prehistoric Animals Show
That Nature Gave Them Some
What Strange Equipment

Seventeen skeletons of the so-called
'Clawed Horse" of prehistoric times
from the Agate Spring fossil quarry of
western Nebraska have been placed
In storage, for lack of exhibiting space,
at the American museum of natural
history, New York.
The varied skeletonic combinations
Of MorOpus and deductions therefrOm
are described by Professors Osborn
and Matthew, as follows:
1.-THE bforopus was a distant rela-
tive of the rhinoceros. the tapir and
the horse. 1t is about the size Of a
rhinocerOs but very different In
form; the head and neck are like
those of the horse. The rounded back
resembles that OF tapir, and the
legs, although massive like those of
the rhinocerOs, are much longer. The
teeth and feet are very distinctive.
The teeth show that the animal
browsed on vegetation.
"Moropus belongs with rhinocerOs,
tapirs and horses to the order Of Per-
issodactyls, or hoofed mammals with
an odd number Of toes on the hind
foot The ruminants, cainels, pigs and
hippopotamuses have an even number
of toes either two or four. Moropus
has three toes. The feet with their
great claws are more like those OF
ant eaters and similar digging man.
mails than of any of the hoofed man.
mails to which Moropus really belongs.
Ii is suggested that the claws were
designed to aid in scraping away the
sand in dry river beds or other suit
able places to obtain drink"
