]NIJSKRAT AND DUCK
CREATURE HERE

BERKELEY, Aug 21 The Cali-
fornia museum of vertebrate zoology
has recently received a specimen OF the
Australian duck billed Platypus, the
most primitive of living mammals.
The duck billed Platypus is semi
aquatic animal, which lives along
rivers. Structurally, it combines IN one
animal the characteristics of diverse
sorts of animal life. The body is cover
ed with dense hair, like that of musk-
rat. The mouth is produced into a
large flat bin, larger than that of a
domestic duck. The toes arc all pro-
vidcd with long sharp claws, while on
each side of the fore-feet is flap o.
soft skin, which serves as paddle
when the animal is swimming. On the
inner side of each hind foot is stout
spur which resembles that of a game
cock, except that it is trayersed by q
tube which connects with poison
gland. This is found only in the male
species, to which the university S speci.
men belongs.
The female duck bill, instead of Civ
ing birth to living young, as do other
mammals, lays an egg.
So great has been the interest OF
naturalists and museums in tho duck
bill that the collection. of specimens
has brought the species to extinction,
Tho animal is now protected by the
Australian Commonwealth, and may be
caught with Il special permit. The
Platypus specimen viii be used for dis
section purposes at the university, and
arrived preserved in alcohol.

HONOR SYSTEM Gets

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.-T h {
honor system for county Jail prisoners
in Los Angeles county is complete
success, according to Sheriff William
|. Traeger, who inaugurated it with
the cooperation of the Y. M. c. A.,
Salvation Army, and Protestant and
Catholic church bodies.
Prisoners were formely released from
the county pail at the eNpirations of
their terms without money, and of
course had no work. This often led
them to commit petty crimes out of
sheer desperation i'll order to avoid
Under Sheriff Tfaeger's system, Il
prisoner, on giving his word of honor,
is placed in the honor camp in Swart-
out Canyon, 80 miles east of Palmsdale.
The prisoner is allowed so cents a
day for work on the county road, and
upon his release has the money in his
pocket, and is in good physical condi-
tion.
Figures show a great reduction in
time offenders in the county
Jail, as men thus released have chance
to get on their feet and make a start
at returning to good citizenship.

The nuns Of Japan have become In.

Headed by 1000 nuns OF tho Jgdo.

During the present month NJ tho

and Kyoto, according TO advices Jus,
received from Toxic, the nuns will
formally present their demands.

an. "Why should we be forced 10

priests are allowed to marry and

enjoy matrimony?'
Less than a year ago tho nuns
voiced their dissatisfaction with
their lot and demanded reforms. but
they were silenCed, mainly because
Of their lack OF organization. they
assert. Now that the movement has
spread to other scots, OF the Budd-

contend that the general tendo. :

is unfair inasmuch ms all are In the
service OF Lord Buddha. Nuns. they
assert, are not allowed to .offloiats
at funerals, are forbidden TO Sit In
the main part of the temple during
Buddhist ceremonies and, in short,
have been reduced to serving merely
as messengers or flunkies for tho
priests.
Officials OF the church and Of the
government are inclined 20 blame
the priests themselves for the wave
of new thought" which apparently
is sweeping over the nunneries OF
Japan. During the past four or five
years the priests have been engaged
in a campaign for manhood suffrage
through the religious organizations
